Well, that was definitely very on brand for Pete to do something weird like that. "Pete, I have SPF on. I don't intend on getting sunburned or getting wrinkly," she said. "Besides, mum would probably blame me instead of you." Her mum adored Peter - would've probably made a trade if Auntie Em was down for it.
"Tall, but lanky," she teased, watching him take a seat. As she watched, she realized just exactly how much they had grown. They weren't 8 years old anymore, watching movies at her Aunt's house or chasing after cruppies in her home; they were now adults about to finish their last year in Hogwarts. The more she thought about how they had aged and how Peter had actually gotten rather handsome the less she listened as he spoke.
What snapped her back was the awfully used American accent which made her smile. "Don't let an American hear that accent or I'm fairly certain they'd be offended." She shrugged her shoulders slightly at the question about what was new. "Ama gave me a job at the studio, I'm an actual makeup artist now with clients." And she straightened her posture a bit at that. It truly was so rewarding doing it and nice to know that her last few summers had not gone wasted. "Just spending time with everyone this summer, y'know? Before we go back to school and deal with the dreadful exams." Juliette shuddered at the thought of taking NEWTs. "But yeah, just work and hanging out with Sterling - the usual."
"And what about yourself? What has your epic summer been like?" Juliette bit her tongue to add on 'with Rosalyn'. Because that would definitely make this whole thing awkward right? He gave Juli a lop-sided one of a kind Stonem smile (akin to his father) at her comment of having put SPF on. “You can never be… uh… too sure, yeah?” he wagered before adjusting one of his hands to rest at the nap of his neck awkwardly. He did give her a wink when she mentioned that her mother would have blamed her instead of him. “Auntie Selena’s Favourite.” and yes, dear reader, he did sing that line out because he was proud to be Selena Zabini-Riddle’s Favourite.
“Like a tree?” he offered before turning to gaze at Juliette. She, too, had grown and grown more beautiful. She had always been beautiful. Dark hair, beautiful piercing eyes. Juli and his sister complimented each other like opposites- two sides of the same coin. One was autumn and the other was spring in colouring.
He chuckled. “Are you offended on their behalf?” he teased before smirking. His Dad was Californian. Well Californian British. A rare hybrid indeed. “Dad would certainly disown me.” He scratched the nape of his neck momentarily before wondering if she’d think that he had fleas for doing such a thing. And he certainly washed so he didn’t want her to misconstrue the body language as having fleas. He’d be mortified surely if she thought that! “Could you see yourself becoming a makeup artist when you grow up? Like after Hogwarts? Are you going to Uni?” He was envious that she had a direction… but he figured that he shouldn’t have been surprised. Once again, Evie and Juli both had directions whereas Peter would…. Figure it out… eventually. He always felt as if he were in their shadows.
He raised his eyebrows as envy tickled him green. “Sterling… eh? Are you two finally dating?” He opted for that word instead of others that flicked in his mind. He liked his mate, Sterling, however, he didn’t like the way he looked at Juli. Or perhaps more accurate the way Peter thought he looked at her. Jealousy did not look good on Peter Stonem.
“Decent. Helping Dad on set. Dad wants me to come work in films with him after we’re all done but I doubt I’d want too. I’m awkward y’know. Not movie star smooth or even Stonem Smooth which is an own brand of awkward in itself,” he laughed and shook his fabulous short mane. He sighed; running a hand through his hair. “Ive been focusing on universities. Both Muggle and Wizarding alike and I’ve been avoiding Evie and her boyfriend.” Thw last statement was accompanied by an eye roll.
