What would you say if I told you I've taken a sabbatical from the ministry and rented a cottage in Wales?

[reparo]

I would ask what you're intending to do?

[chosenfordarkness]

Take a secluded vacation and invite the most amazing witch I've ever met to join me?

Speaking of, do you know what McGonnagal is doing? ;)

1/2

[reparo]

Probably wondering why her problematic favourite hasn't invited her on a Welsh holiday yet, if you ask me. Which you are.

[reparo]

Anakin, did something happen at the ministry?

[chosenfordarkness]

Oh. I'm not in trouble or anything! Surprising, right?

[reparo]

I'm relieved to hear that. Are you taking time off to rest? Those dark circles had a family of dark circles under them... :P

[chosenfordarkness]

The bags under my eyes are designer, thank you. I spent a lot of time getting them to look the way they do.

The phrase 'working myself to an early grave' may have been used in my debriefing.

[reparo]

Reversed smokey eyes. Oof, that was a brutal blow - you know meanwhile my department is more leaning towards 'yes Hermione please work yourself to death so we can all relax in the background'.

I have three weeks of unspent annual leave and I'm suddenly feeling spiteful - fuck it, let's go to Wales.

[chosenfordarkness]

A devastating blow to my ego, and I'm not sure I'll ever recover. I trust you'll write my eulogy?

I was hoping you'd be free, though I'm happy to learn it's THAT free! Mom is on holiday in Spain with her new boyfriend (I know, right??) so it'll be just us.

[reparo]

Tawdry. It feels like I just got invited over for some... untoward activities.

[chosenfordarkness]

If by untoward activities you mean home-cooked meals, lots of recreational reading, and scandalous cuddles, then yes. Tawdry.

[reparo]

Cuddles are so scandalous, you're damn right.

Gods, that all sounds like a dream. Should I bring books?

[chosenfordarkness]

I would...unless you're really invested in murder mysteries or the Complete History of Quidditch.

I'm already at the cabin, but I'll send the address so you can floo here? I have to go into town for a bit, but dinner will be around 8?

[reparo]

I found that reading the Complete History of Quidditch once was enough to know every I need to know. I'll bring books, then.

I'm shamefully still at work so I'll petition my leave now and hopefully make it there by eight-ish.

[chosenfordarkness]

I'm aghast, look at you working as you're meant to. I can only assume it's dreadfully boring.

Tell me about it.

[reparo]

Are you trying to flirt with me, Skywalker? After calling my job dreadfully boring?

You fucker.

[chosenfordarkness]

Am I wrong??? You're so expedient with your replies.

[reparo]

Maybe only in the sense that I want you to keep flirting with me.
