Bermuda, Bahama, Barbados?

[diggory_digs_it]

Who goes to Barbados for Christmas? My parents, it seems. My little brother and I are staying - I requested very kindly that they bring him or me with them, whichever they preferred, but they did not grant my request. Unfortunately, it seems that the very bouncy 3rd year called Seth will also be staying over winter hols

Do you not get along with your brother?

I think I have something that you can do during the hols, but you can't know yet. It's a surprise.

[diggory_digs_it]

We get along fine, but he is morally opposed, it seems, to me getting any work done at all during winter holidays. Or doing much of anything that doesn't entail, say, getting squirted with a water gun repeatedly.

Is that right? No hints?

[true_italian]

Oh, he likes you. I have little cousins that do things like that and they only want attention. I think it's cute.

No hints. I has to be a surpirse. I'll give it to you early, before you leave of course.

[diggory_digs_it]

Yeah, he is cute, and it was cute the first few times, though it wasn't as cute when he ruined my potions essay. He does so love attention - that much can be said.

Okay. I need to get yours to you before you leave, aslo.

[true_italian]

Oh yeah, they can become annoying. It's still better than having no siblings like me.

You don't need to. Don't worry about it, if you have something when we come back it will be like Christmas all over again.

[diggory_digs_it]

Yeah - it all depends on the sibling, the family, and the person. I like having a little brother, even if he drives me out of my mind most of the time.

Yeah, yours may be after the holidays... I keep thinking I'll have a better shot at finding something like you told me you wanted in London. Not much in Hogsmeade like it.

[true_italian]

I suppose... I probably would have siblings but my mum can't have any more. That may be why she isn't disappointed with me.

That's fine, don't worry about it. I'm not picky. I don't even remember what I told you...

[diggory_digs_it]

Yeah - I don't know that I'd want any more than one. I might lose my mind.

You know, you had told me purple dragonhide gloves - though if you've thought of something else you can't live without, you should tell me before it's too late.

[true_italian]

I'm fine without one... my little cousins are enough and I hardly ever see them. Maybe I don't want a sibling after all.

Oh yeah! I do want those. If it's too much of a hassel though, don't worry about it. I'm not picky.

[diggory_digs_it]

Yeah, I think you're probably good, then. Siblings are a big responsibility.

It's not a hassel, really, it's not. I really need to get to Diagon Alley.
