 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Of course! Daf was one of his best buddies so it was true that a fair few things would not change between them. “Ha! I think you need to get your nose checked. I smell absolutely delightful! One of those fancy new Muggle colognes.” Jude scrunched up his nose in response to the tongue. “Some day, I’m going to jinx that,’’ he joked as he bumped Daf back; this was done rather strongly and it was quite intentional.
As both Hufflepuffs had stepped into the flat by now, Jude continued to have the time of his life by handing out teases, this time to Evan. “I think I prefer you as an alpaca though. Alpacas and Llamas seem similar but you rock at being an alpaca, Ev.” Such good - and not so good - times! “Pleased to hear you’ve laid off the homework eating though!” That had been one of the bad aspects of Ev actually being an alpaca. Those tummy aches had often worried Jude. With one last squish, Jude released his bff. “I’m doing well too! Preparations have been hectic, tiring but so much fun! I’m really loving the experiences and I expect it’ll all get easier as time goes along.” Because Jude aimed to do tons and tons of concerts! Now worries, Ev! Your bestie was always there to make things easier for you!
His flatmate need not worry as Hartley was one hundred percent sure he would be divulging every dish prepared. As travelling was such a huge aspect in his life, he was into all the cuisines he came across. And Hart really did mean it when he said Evan looked great. But now both the newcomers were making their way into the flat and he had eyes mainly for Dafydd. Hartley was always likely to get goofy around Daf - something Evan and Jude had never seen - so he was quite determined not to ruin his highly intelligent, highly perfect reputation. “Why, are you complaining about the view?” Hartley asked, just a dash of flirtation in his tone. “I could always fix those buttons right up if its that big of an issue.” Smirking, Hart turned to Jude.
The old Hartley - the one that did not have a boyfriend whom he happened to like a lot - would have flirted right off the bat with Jude despite knowing that Jude was taken. He thought that Jude had grown into a dashing young man. As it was, he respected Daf so he simply grinned and fist bumped Evan’s best friend. “A few. Unfortunately, the Ministries have requested they be kept under wraps for now until more information about them are known.” That was just how it went sometimes. |
