94- Allergic

This was ridiculous. Completely nonsensical in fact.

He was sitting in a muggle emergency room because he’d taken Tylenol. A medication he’d been assured no-one had allergic reactions too. Yet here Reid was. He’d only had a headache to begin with, and a slightly sore arm from where he’d been hit during one of the stunts. Now however he was much worse.

His hands were swollen, a rash had broken out around his mouth and earlier he’d actually stopped breathing. All because the doctor believed that no-one was allergic to Tylenol. Except Reid, who quite clearly was allergic to Tylenol.

14. Hogwarts, A History

His parents had gone daft. There was no other explanation for why they thought that a book entitled ‘Hogwarts, A History’ would make him hate the move to England less. Reid really didn’t care about the history of the school or who’d been there, in fact he wasn’t even going to bother to read it.

Nothing was going to make him actually want to go to England except all his friends’ parents suddenly deciding that sending their children to an English boarding school was a good idea. Since that wouldn’t happen Reid wasn’t going to change his mind about England.

65. Ooze

Only ten minutes into the interview and Reid’s leash on his temper was fraying. The interviewer had put him off as soon as they’d been introduced. He had creeperdoodle eyes and his voice simply oozed insincerity. And as time continued he wasn’t making Reid’s opinion of him any better. Especially now that he’d turned the topic to Rachel. Not by name obviously since that article hadn’t come out yet, but apparently they’d been photographed together and now he was implying… Well it didn’t matter what he was implying, what mattered was Reid was ten seconds away from decking the man.

63. Mooch

The nerve of that critic! How could he suggest that Reid should give up acting and mooch off his parents. Apparently he had absolutely no talent and only got jobs based on his good looks! Which was why Reid had won awards that were voted by other actors, and why various other critics had praised his performance in the same movie!

Of course Reid shouldn’t be surprised about the critic giving him a scathing review, he had recently gone out with the man’s daughter and then broken up with her because she thought he was way too close to Sienna.

67. Quell

“Quell,” Valentine called out, as Reid turned the quill in his hands. “Quell,” the boy insisted, reaching for the quill in his father’s hands.

As cute as Reid found his son, made cuter by the fact he couldn't actually say quill, he was not going to give the object to his son. He’d made that mistake once before and it had turned into a disaster as the boy had proceeded to attempt to eat the quill which had gotten stuck down his throat. Not to mention the ink poisoning.

No. Reid was not going to go through that nightmare again.

3. Transfiguration

Sometimes Reid wished he could transform into someone else, and not just temporarily like Polyjuice Potion would allow, but permanently. He was just sick of everything. Sick of Sienna ragging on him for being a horrible boyfriend, sick of his friends encouraging him to do things they all knew were stupid, sick of people stopping him in the streets, sick of strangers thinking they had a right to know everything about his life and most importantly he was sick of his parents thinking they had the right to tell him what to do. Reid was sick of being Reid Hemingway.

74. X-tinguish

A year ago Reid had thought that nothing could extinguish the love he felt for Sienna. He’d been so sure that he wanted to spend his life with her that he’d actually started to forgive his parents for arranging their marriage. That was a year ago, and this was now. Now he didn’t know why he’d loved her in the first place and had in fact started seeing someone new.

Sienna however remained in his life, much to his own displeasure, and would do so until he could talk his way out of the arranged marriage that bound them together.

75. Yodel

Reid had done a lot of things for Sienna when she turned those pleading eyes on him.

He’d bought her an Aston Martin that cost over a million dollars.

He’d dressed up as Cupid for one of her stupid charity fundraisers.

He’d given that same charity millions of dollars in funds.

He’d taken her on holidays to exotic locations on his own dime, never mind that if she wanted to go her father would have paid.

But there were some things not even her using her best pleading eyes could get him to do. Learning how to Yodel was one.

76. Zap

Reid had endured a lot of things during the making of this movie. Putting up with Sienna when he wanted to do everything besides spend time with her, being one of them. But this had to take the cake. Some idiot crew member had decided that leaving a live wire on a set was a fabulous idea. Yes they were meant to be making it look like Reid was electrocuted but they sure as Merlin weren’t meant to actually allow him to be zapped with electricity that left severe welts on both his hands. He was now seriously contemplating quitting.

1. Herbology

Sitting his Herbology NEWT all Reid could do was stare blankly down at the paper. He knew everything in it but he couldn’t write. He was frozen. This wasn’t meant to be happening. Ok so he hadn’t studied for it as much as he should have. But he thought he’d done enough. Still nothing was coming to him and it was nearly time to hand the paper in.

Reids' eyes shot open and he sighed in relief. It had just been a dream. A look at the calendar confirmed he had two days before he would sit the Herbology NEWT.

7. Care of Magical Creatures

Reid had been worried about his Herbology NEWT. Turns out that was for naught because he’d aced the test, he hadn’t frozen up during the test at any time. The NEWT he should have been worried about was Care of Magical Creatures.

First Reid had woken up late, resulting in him having to rush to his exam without having anything to eat, then he’d forgotten his ink and quill and had to run back to the dorm to grab them, before proceeding back to the hall just in time for the exam to start. Lastly, he couldn’t remember important content.

31. Dress robes

Reid set Valentine on the bed gently, careful not to wake his sleeping son. It had been a long night and Reid was exhausted, but as Sienna was attending to Serenity it fell to Reid to change Valentine out of his dress robes and into his pyjama’s. A task which recently Valentine had been insisting he could do by himself, he was four you know.

Reid changed his son carefully, not wanting to disturb his rest more than necessary, before tucking him into bed and turning on the nightlight. Reid gently stroked Valentine’s hair before quietly leaving the boys bedroom.

32. Common room

Reid was sat on a couch in the Common Room reading over his Arithmancy homework when Sienna stormed in followed by one of her many minions. Reid took no heed at first, at least until Sienna was right in front of him. When he looked up he cursed the stupid minion. At first he’d thought Sienna was angry, but now he knew better. She was crying.

Not caring that they’d broken up and hadn’t talked since, Reid pushed his Arithmancy to the side and pulled Sienna into his arms, muttering comforting words all the while not caring who saw it.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 02:52 PM

43. Headmaster

Hexing the Headmasters son probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do, especially with said Headmaster in sight, yet it felt like one of the smartest things Reid had ever done. He’d spend most of the previous night comforting Sienna after that STUPID boy had made her cry and Reid had, had enough. If it weren’t for the fact that he’d run out of Bubotuber Puss the boy would have been having that spilled on him.

As it was the other boy was clutching at his bleeding nose as the Headmaster physically dragged Reid from the hall and up the stairs.

42. Portraits

As Reid looked at the portrait that was hidden up in the attic his expression was melancholy. The portrait was painted beautifully, just like the others that were up here, but this one was sadder than the rest. Not because it was in actual fact a sad picture. Rather it showed two quite happy, if slightly reserved, boys. It was also the last portrait that his parents had gotten that particular artist to create for the family.

The portrait had been completed the day before Alexander had died. It was the last ever picture of his brother and that hurt.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 03:16 PM

19. Wand

Reid watched on in amusement as Serenity waved the long twig and muttered nonsense words. She’d seen Sienna doing the same just that morning and it seemed she now wanted to be just like mummy. Only Sienna had a real wand while Serenity had picked up a random twig.

What made it cuter was that she’d been telling everyone who was at the party that mummy and daddy had magic and waved sticks too. Of course the adults, all muggles, thought she was adorable and that she had an amazing imagination for one so young. Reid just smiled and agreed.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 03:22 PM

16. Dragonhide gloves

“You bought me Dragonhide gloves for my birthday?” Reid asked, giving her a strange look. One that clearly conveyed ‘what were you thinking’? “I’m a vegetarian because I’m against any form of cruelty to animals. I’d be vegan if it weren’t for the fact that for medical reasons I can’t be. So what on Earth made you think I’d want a gift that was made from an animal? Even if said animal may not have to die they could still be harmed in captivity.”

Shaking his head in disgust Reid threw the gloves back to her before leaving the room.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 03:27 PM

46. Dungeon

Spending his day locked in a dungeon just because he’d insulted someone was not how Reid had intended to spend his day. This was totally ridiculous, and there must be some law against it. Although this was the UK so Reid wasn’t totally sure if it was… But surely they had freedom of liberty or some such laws that could be evoked.

As the professor finally came to let him out with some nonsense about having learnt his lesson Reid shot her a glare. “If this were America I’d sue,” he stated simply as he pushed his way past her.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 03:40 PM

37. Animagus

Reid stared at thirteen down on the crossword in complete confusion. The clue was just so cryptic that he didn’t know what the word could be. Not even the fact that he knew what the word started and ended with helped. He even knew that it had an ‘A’ as the second last letter due to the fact that fifteen across was Animagus.

Looking at the answers in the next day’s paper Reid groaned as he realized how obvious the word should have been. The answer to thirteen down was Bugbear! Sometimes he didn’t know why he attempted the crosswords.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 03:59 PM

17. Cauldron

Looking around the store Reid tried to find a necklace that Serenity would like, that having been what she said she wanted. It was hard though because he wanted it to be perfect since she’d been disappointed by the earrings that had been part of her birthday present. Which is why he’d been walking around the store for over an hour now. But finally he’d found it.

The necklace was platinum and the charm was a cauldron. Serenity for some reason was obsessed with the things.

Little did he know it would be the last present he’d give his daughter.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 04:06 PM

47. Portkey

“Professor, if they’re called Portkey’s then why are key’s hardly ever used as the object people need touch?” Reid asked. He was genuinely curious, since logic would state that you WOULD use a key since that was part of its name. Then again it was the Wizarding World and unfortunately they didn’t seem to follow logic when it came to naming things.

It seemed however that Reid’s curiosity wouldn’t be satisfied by his teacher who merely waffled on, only making it obvious that she didn’t know the answer to his question, before steering the conversation in a completely different direction.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 04:14 PM

18. Whomping Willow

The first time he’d met her he’d been near the Lake talking to a student he’d met in Diagon Alley, Via her name was, and he’d been most rude. To Via that was. Because as soon as he’d been introduced to Rachel she was the most interesting thing on the planet.

It was therefore no surprise that the first time he realized he loved her was when he was sitting out near the Whomping Willow and playing with Neko. A place from which he could see the exact spot that they met.

Now to get the confidence to tell Rachel.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 04:20 PM

38. Patronus

Reid groaned in frustration as he looked down at his Defence Against the Dark Arts notes on the Patronus Charm. He needed to copy down more information if he was going to have a comprehensive study guide when it came time for him to fully study for his NEWT’s. Unfortunately he was finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate on the work in front of him.

All Reid could do was think about Rachel, the girlfriend he’d not had a chance to spend time with in ages as they were both so busy with their responsibilities. He missed her so much.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 04:33 PM

39. Duel

Whatever Reid had been expecting when his agent told him he was going to be in a movie called ‘Duel’ this wasn’t it.

Of course he knew that duels originated in the good ol’ days but he’d been thinking a modern day showdown, or something similar to a wizarding duel. He hadn’t been expecting a period piece. Or was it a historical romance? Something like that, anyway.

To be honest Reid didn’t even like the way this movie was going. He was going to die in the end defending some ladies honour. Apparently that was romantic. Reid thought it ridiculous.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 04:41 PM

45. Licorice Wand

The cravings for food that Sienna would normally never eat had set in about a month ago and it was driving Reid mad. She wanted so many strange things that Reid couldn’t keep track and then when he’d finally get back from the store she wouldn’t want it anymore. But heaven help him if he didn’t actually have the food with him.

Tonight, at half past twelve, she’d decided that she desperately needed Licorice Wands. This was of course yet another food that they didn’t stock in their house and that Reid needed to procure if he wanted any sleep.

Saiai · 12-17-2011, 04:49 PM

80. The End

As he left the Leaky Cauldron and Rachel behind he felt strange. In some ways he was relieved with the outcome, relieved that she’d ended things once and for all. Yet in another way he was sad. He knew that what they’d had together had disappeared a long time ago due to his decisions, and they had been his alone, but he also knew that if not for those decisions on his behalf he would have been much happier with Rachel than he had ever been with Sienna.

The relief came from the fact that now there were no what-if’s.
