I like having projects to do.

Oh, me too, I always feel much worse when I'm idle. Your headband turned out so well!

[thenextbigdeal]

Thank you. I worked hard during break. I made mistakes, but it wasn't hard to fix. I really enjoyed it. It's calming.

[ringaroundthe]

That's good! Fixing things and perseverance are the hardest parts of anything, I think, I'm proud of you. What will you next project be?

[thenextbigdeal]

I want to try a baby blanket. My boyfriend is about to a big brother. Twice! His mum and stepmother are pregnant.

[ringaroundthe]

Twice! Well, that worked out nicely, didn't it? Well, at least I hope they're friends, mothers really benefit from having other pregnant people as support, but I know divorces can be a bit complicated. Families, really.
I have so, so many baby blanket patterns, I love baby blankets.

The mums actually get along prety well. And I love them both.

One I think I want to do like yellow. The other, maybe pink?

[ringaroundthe]

Oh good, that sounds excellent. *She goes to check through her yarn* I know I have yellow cotton, pink I don't work much in so I'm not sure... but I just might. And if not that just means I have a tidy excuse to buy more, don't I?

[thenextbigdeal]

I can get the pink. I don't want to take advantage and use all your stuff.

[ringaroundthe]

You couldn't! You absolutely could not, oh, you have no idea how much yarn I have at home. I really ought to inventory it all and decide what to do with it. *Actually, she could just give Sylvie quite a bit. Rosie makes a mental note to send a letter home asking a house elf to send everything.*

Okay. Good. You have been so helpful and I like this. I think I'm good at it. [And her funds are limited.]

[ringaroundthe]

I think you are too, you'll make lovely baby blankets.

[thenextbigdeal]

Thanks.

Um. I wanted to talk to you about something else. I think um. Maybe I could use. Um. Some therapy? Do you know anyone I could talk to?

[ringaroundthe]

I do know a few therapists, I'm sure some would be happy to come to Hogwarts. What kind of person do you think it would be easiest for you to talk to?

[thenextbigdeal]

I don't know. I think I'd be more comfortable with a woman.

[ringaroundthe]

Of course, I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything back.

And, if you'd like, I know I'm not a professional but I've been told I'm a good listener.

[thenextbigdeal]

I just...I don't know what to say.

Feelings are hard.
