2nd Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

Them hockey players just happened to be on the television again when George  - and Beka-the-terrier - wandered down to the Common Room.   It was a shock, really, and totally not planned at all.

Beka flopped down on the couch, covering her eyes with her paws.  George didn't much mind that as it meant for once she wasn't trying to bite him for something she'd decided he was doin' wrong.  Being bitten would have distracted him from watching the little men skate around the ice.

"Why could it be bad t'love someone?" George asked, frowning a little. "Tisn't jus' you who doesn' get it. I don' think I'd be wantin' t'understand."

"Apparently it can be used against you?" Maron said, wrinkling her nose. "But isn't that true of everything? I can't even imagine a group of people coming to the conclusion that not-loving was the best way to go about things."

"Mayhap they were jus' worrit about havin' too many kids," George joked. "So if' they'd just had charms agains' pregnancy, they wouldn' have th'problem"

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

She laughed.

"Poor way of going about it!" Maron answered. "You've got charms for that sort of thing? We've got pills and... stuff."

Yes. Stuff.

"Aye, th' priestesses an' th' like make charms ye can buy to stop it," he explained. "They seem t'work much better than th' pills y'hear about here."

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

"Are they, like, chanting charms?" Maron wondered. "Or do you wear it? If you wore it, wouldn't it get lost?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Not if ye don' take it off?" George pointed out. "Th' ones me mam makes, they're t'be worn like a necklace."

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

"Neat," Maron said approvingly.

Then laughed.

"But probably not what you want to be talking about, right? Being a boy..."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

He snickered and shrugged. "'M pretty sure there are worse things. Jus' don' be trying to make me wear any o' that face paint or nothin', an' we'll be fine."

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

"Unless it's for a costume? Or a job?" Maron asked, giggling. "Because I bet you'd be up enough for that, if there was interesting cause."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"...ver' well then," George admitted, making a face at her. "Twould be fun if twas for th' right reason."

Like making a lot of money or something.

She stuck her tongue out at him cheerfully.

"I win that round," Maron decided, grinning. "And I'll keep that in mind if I ever want entertainment."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I better be gettin' somethin' out of tha' entertainment," George said quickly, making a face back at her. "I won' be jus' dressin' up fer yer pleasure."

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

"No?" Maron pouted at him. "I suppose I'll have to think of some sort of payment then, if only because it would be a worthwhile venture."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

The pouting was unfair, dammit. "Yer jus' wantin' th'people t'be laughing at me, aye?"

[gods-gymnast.livejournal.com]

"No," Maron answered, eyes glinting with amusement and overtones of 'you walked right into this one' in her voice, "I want to laugh at you."
