Alex: Alex: Sally! What are you doing?
Sally-Anne: Uh-oh. Alex isn't calling me Sal. Should I be worried?
Alex: I..Just... Sorry. I just read thru those comments to Malfoy's post.
Alex: Sal, you don't have to do that.
Sally-Anne: Do I ever do anything because I 'have' to?
Alex: I don't want you to get in trouble over defending me.
Alex: Malfoy's not worth it.
Sally-Anne: you'd do the same for me
Sally-Anne: you're worth it
Alex: I...
Alex: thanks, Sal.
Alex: You know I apreciate it
.
Alex: But, you've defended me. So... let it go for now, okay?
Alex: You already lost points.
Sally-Anne: Do you think I care about points?
Alex: No. I know you don't.
Alex: I just don't want to get in any trouble right now.
Alex: Honestly, I don't care that Ferret boy was calling me names
.
Alex: I can handle him.
Sally-Anne: I don't want you in trouble either. This is me taking the heat, not you.
Alex: I'm not going to get in trouble.
Alex: Sometimes you have to play his game a little .... you can't just curse at him. See?
Sally-Anne: I'll stop, for you, but I don't mind the points.
Alex: I bet it bugs him 1000 times more that I'm not responding.
Sally-Anne: And I like cursing him.
Alex: I know you do.
Sally-Anne: You would have done the same thing for me and you're angry with me over this?
Alex: Thanks for standing up for me, anyway...
Alex: What?
Alex: Of course I'm not angry at you!
Alex: I can't ever be angry at you, Sal.
Alex: Espeically not when you're taking on Malfoy in my name ;)
Sally-Anne: You don't seem like yourself.
Alex: It's just....
Alex: If you get in trouble over the summer... won't they send you to some wizarding foster family, or something?
Alex: I worry about you, you know.
Alex: So... go easy on me? I'm a worried brother...
Sally-Anne: Yeah, well, I worry about you too.
Alex: You're the only sister I have left, Sal. I'd prefer to keep you around.
Alex: Okay?
Sally-Anne: If he says something else about you, I can't promise.
Alex: I don't think he will. Not outright.
Alex: He's protecting his Prefect badge now.
Sally-Anne: I didn't say anything that wasn't the truth. He has no balls.
Alex: Hehe. At least that means there won't be any more little Malfoy's....
Sally-Anne: Don't make me laugh when I'm this angry.
Sally-Anne: He called me fucking sweet!!
Alex: Well,.. you know, Sal. Defending me from big bad ball-less Malfoy is sort of sweet... ;)
Sally-Anne: shut up
Alex: Make me.
Sally-Anne: Do you really want to wrestle me next time we see each other?
Alex: Wrestle? I called you sweet... I was sure that would call for pistols at high noon....
Sally-Anne: Winning with fists is so much more fun.
Alex: Yeah.. and I have a much lower chance of ending up dead at the end of it.
Alex: ;)
Sally-Anne: You always were the smart one
Sally-Anne: We've never talked like this. I like it.
Alex: It is nice, isn't it.
Alex: Though, why do I think I'll be the only one using the little smiley faces...
Alex: :)
Alex: :P
Sally-Anne: I don't do smiles.
Alex: More for me.
Alex: l-)
Sally-Anne: Alex?
Alex: Okay, I'll stop.
Sally-Anne: no, I was just going to type something
Sally-Anne: cause its easier than saying it.
Alex: Okay.
Alex: Though, what can't you say to me?
Alex: I mean... It's me.
Alex: ;)
Sally-Anne: I love you, Alex. But I won't call you brother because that's...well, I don't like brothers.
Sally-Anne: but well, that's easier to type than say
Alex: I love too, Sal. And you know you're my sister. But I don't have to call you that if you don't want me to.
Sally-Anne: I don't mind you calling me that. You're the only family I've ever had.
Alex: You deserve to be loved, Sally-Anne Perks, and I'm gonna do it.
Alex: I'll tell you that whenever you need me to. :)
Sally-Anne: Yeah, you're a silly Hufflepuff too.
Alex: Yup yup.
Alex: Thru and thru.
Alex: Oh!
Alex: I have gossip....
Sally-Anne: Oh?
Sally-Anne: You know I love gossip.
Alex: Beg? It's juicy... ;)
Sally-Anne: Arse.
Alex: Do you remember Maggie's best friend in school?
Sally-Anne: What the fuck is it?
Alex: Impatient Gryffindor...
Sally-Anne: Only that is was some cocky bloke
Alex: Sam Capper.
Sally-Anne: he thought a lot of himself
Alex: Hufflepuff.
Sally-Anne: yeah, vaguely
Alex: Er, yeah. He got a little better.
Sally-Anne: I bet.
Alex: Anyway he moved to the states... and now he's back.
Alex: In Hogsmeade.
Sally-Anne: He's here to find her killers.
Alex: Only if he lets me at them first.
Alex: But, that's not the gossip.
Sally-Anne: Oh?
Alex: He's dating Tony Goldstein.
Sally-Anne: What the fuck? He cant' find a bloke his own age or has he already shagged them all?
Alex: There... jump at the gossip. I know you love to have the sordid lives of your classmates...
Alex: Sam's a good guy.
Sally-Anne: He slept his way through the school.
Alex: Eh, probably
.
Sally-Anne: He did.
Alex: But.... I would have too, if I hadn't met Aidan...
Sally-Anne: I kept my distance.
Alex: I don't think he was sleeping with girls.
Alex: Anyway, I think it's sort of cute.
Sally-Anne: But you wouldn't have been so cocky about it. Cocky blokes ..I don't like them.
Sally-Anne: I trust your judgement. He's a good bloke now. Okay.
Alex: Ahem. You have seen me after winning a Quidditch match...
Alex: And yeah.
Sally-Anne: Cute for seeing Tony Goldstein?
Alex: But, at least it was a little gossip.
Sally-Anne: I have, but you don't walk through the halls like you own them.
Alex: I bet you know before most of his housemates.
Sally-Anne: And I love you for it.
Alex: I know.
Sally-Anne: I won't tease him. He's a shy one.
Alex: Oh.. I have some news that isn't gossip...
Sally-Anne: And?
Alex: Yeah, he is. I promised Sam I wouldnt' embarrass him.
Alex: Um. Aidan is going to tell his da... about the...
Alex: Yeah.
Sally-Anne: Oh goddesses.
Alex: Yeah, that's the one.
Sally-Anne: From what you've sad, his father is going to care. A lot.
Alex: Yeah.
Sally-Anne: I hope he tracks the fuckers down and kills them...slowly.
Alex: Only after I get a crack at them... too...
Alex: And, remind me, when did the list of people I have to kill get so long?
Alex: I was just a simple Hufflepuff as some point, yeah?
Sally-Anne: Life sucks, Alex. I keep telling you that.
Sally-Anne: Yeah, you were sweet and innocent and befriended a bitch like me.
Sally-Anne: Maybe that's where you went wrong.
Alex: Never completely, Sal. We have each other ;)
Alex: I don't think that's it at all.
Sally-Anne: You know I'd die for you, mate.
Alex: At the rate I'm going you might have to.
Alex: Though, I would die for you too.
Alex: You, and Aidan. That's it.
Sally-Anne: I know Aidan comes first. You know I don't mind.
Alex: And if anymore shite happens to either one of you, I may die from that, too.
Sally-Anne: Happens to me? Oh.
Alex: Not first, Sal. Just different.
Alex: I'd die for you. And you'd have to take care of him for me.
Sally-Anne: You better not fucking die or I'll kill you!
Sally-Anne: Take care of Aidan?
Sally-Anne: I'll protect him. I promised you that.
Alex: I know.
Sally-Anne: You could just give me your list and let me take care of it.
Alex: You know most of my list.
Alex: But, no. They're mine.
Alex: They have to be.
Alex: Okay, Sal. I have to sleep.
Sally-Anne: Yeah. Most people do.
Alex: No more baiting the ball-less Slytherins tonight?
Sally-Anne: No. Battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
Alex: Yes, that really is always unfair.
Sally-Anne: Can I ask you something first?
Alex: Of course.
Sally-Anne: You and Aidan, I know you'll marry one day...are you going to adopt kids?
Alex: We've... we've barely talked about living together. We're not thinking about that yet.
Alex: Why?
Sally-Anne: I...
Alex: Sal?
Sally-Anne: I'll protect them.
Alex: Of course you will.
Alex: You'll be "Auntie Sal"
Sally-Anne: So don't fucking die, so I'll have nieces and nephews.
Alex: and godchildren.
Alex: Yeah.
Sally-Anne: Fuck, I can be soft.
Alex: It's okay, with me.
Alex: ;)
Sally-Anne: i'll have to punch you for that
Alex: Okay.
Sally-Anne: goodnight, Alex
Alex: Just not in the face.
Sally-Anne: Balls?
Alex: Eh, No. I like using those.
Alex: The stomach.
Alex: And make sure it bruises.
Alex: ;)
Sally-Anne: You two are so fucking kinky!
Alex: Hehehe.
Sally-Anne: forget it. i won't punch you.
Sally-Anne: now go to sleep
Alex: Damn!
Alex: Goodnight, Sal.
Sally-Anne: Night, Alex.
Alex: Love you. l-)
Sally-Anne: Too.
