Andie was walking around by the lake, also soaking up the sin and chilling, but to a lesser extent than Charity because she was actually involved in physical movement, but she intended to stop soon and she intended to stop once she reached her friend.
Reach her friend she did, and this reaching was shortly followed by one Andromeda Diggory-Black flopping down onto the grass beside her, looking far more graceful than she had any right to.
"You were looking so foxy that I just had to join you," she said, poking Charity gently in the stomach. "Beauty calls to beauty, and all that jazz."
"Obviously," she said, swooping down to plant a kiss on her friend's cheek. "I don't think Amos would mind, either. Lesbians are all the rage with the boys these days."
"I don't think he would." Char agreed, wrapping her arms around Andie. Most people would find it strange, how prone to hugs Char was, but she was only liable to do it to Andie, who was her best friend in the entire world. "And do you know, this act of lesbianism is the most action I've had in ages." She blinked and paused, realizing what she'd said. "Oh, what am I going on about, of course you know that."
"Sweetheart, we're at Hogwarts," she reminded her, snuggling her back and talking into her hair, which was soft and lovely and smelled like her own hair. Yeah, Andie and Char used the same shampoo. It was because they both had such exquisite taste in everything. "Blokes who are actually worth getting any action from are thin on the ground. And most of them are taken."
"I know." she muttered despairingly, pulling back to give her best friend a woeful look. "Either they're taken or they're more interested in the fannies in their own lot."
"This school has got a frighteningly high number of gay blokes living within its walls," said Andie, settling down properly on the grass and making herself comfortable. "I can think of, like, two decent straight blokes who go here. I'm married to one of them and you can bet your life that Lily will be married to the other within about a year."
"That was an impressive proposal, by the by." Char said, rolling onto her stomach and swinging her feet in the air. "And since he's taken, I've no hope of finding a decent bloke in this entire castle. Lucky me." She threw her hands up in the air in mock elation.
"Oh, totally. Nothing more romantic than blind panic," she giggled, plucking a daisy from the grass and twirling it around in her fingers. She stuck it behind Charity's ear and grinned. "If only Gideon weren't gay, eh? Although if he wasn't, I probably would've dated him instead of his idiot brother and we wouldn't have broken up, which means that I wouldn't have had my Amos." She sighed. "So maybe his being gay is a good thing."
"I can say one thing about Blind Panic, it separates the good guys from the scum." Char said, striking a pose. "Oh if only Gideon weren't gay!" she sighed wistfully. Not that she would tap that, mind you, Char was merely expressing her sadness that such a fine specimen of mancandy had to go wasted.
She plucked a few blades of grass and tossed them into the air, before leaning back and watching them float slowly back to the ground. "All things considered, I'm glad he is. I can't really imagine you with anyone but Amos."
"And to think, I only went after him because I thought he was hot and I wanted to have a bit of fun," she said, a rather pensive expression crossing her lovely features while she stared up at the wispy white clouds which were passing overhead. "If I had known back then that I was going to fall in bloody love with him after one sodding date, I would have wimped out and not gone at all."
"I think I must have been given a lobotomy in my sleep," she admitted, laughing softly to herself. "Six months ago I was the biggest committment-phobe going and now I'm buying a house with my husband and thinking of baby names."
Char's head swiveled towards Andie, her expression one of surprised delight. "Baby names? I need to start buying gifts to shower my future godchild with, then."
"Oh yes, since you're godmother the first," she replied happily, closing her eyes and stretching like a cat beneath the warm glow of the sun. "Although the pregnancy comes before the Diggobabies, so you should really shower the mother-to-be with gifts, first."
Reach her friend she did, and this reaching was shortly followed by one Andromeda Diggory-Black flopping down onto the grass beside her, looking far more graceful than she had any right to.
