*Is reluctant to say much*
Bit of both really... hasn't been my year I don't think.
*idly flicks a pea off his fork across the room*

**Giggles when he flicks the peas away**
Oi, don't do that, they're delicious!
**Shrugs**
Yeah, I thought it was my year, but that soon changed.
**Has to grin at the irony**
It seems misery really does love company, after all...
Where do you work, if you don't mind me asking? And I have to say, your hair is wicked!

*flicks a pea at her* Help yourself. Vile little green bullets.
*pushes the pea infested plate across*
I guess we can be miserable, incredible haired scrooges together then *grins a little*
I work in muggle London mostly, do a few specialist visits to wizarding houses though... *spontaneously tugs one of his heavy boots off and plonks his foot on the table, complete with holey sock*
*tugs down the sock a bit to reveal the little stick man jumping up and down, his only moving tat* My work! *shakes his head slightly at the stupidity of it*

Oh, wow, thanks!
**Attacks the peas, gobbling them up as quick as she can**
**Tries not to scream when he takes off his boot, then gasps when she sees the tattoo**
You're kidding me! You do tattoos? That's so wicked, I've always wanted one!

*winces suddenly realising a large error and quickly stuffs his boot back on* Christ, I forgot my feet can be a small bit toxic smelling. Sorry.
But yeah... mostly muggle tats but since I've perfected my charmwork I'm doing a bit of moving stuff/magical property inking on the side.
I'd do one for you once ...well *gestures uncomfortably to her bump* thats all ... out the way .. you know...
*quickly changes the subject not feeling too comfortable with 'birth'*
What about you?

Wicked, thanks mate.
**Beams at him, looking lots happier than when she walked in**
That's pretty amazing that you can do that.
**Sighs**
Urgh, I used to be an Auror, but now I'm up the duff I have to take a desk job so as not to endanger the child.
**Pokes her belly**
He better appreciate it, is all I can say. Can you imagine filing paperwork for four months when you could be out there kicking ass and taking names? Well irritating!

An auror? *Raises brows impressed* pretty heavy stuff... I know I'd appreciate it, my old ma's a blast!

**Grins... someone who appreciates his mum. That bodes well**
Is your mum an Auror too? I might know her.

*cant hold back a tremendous laugh*
Heaven forbid! *snorts with laughter again* Me ma's a lovely old "muggle" with a little too much damage from her youth I think, though she did just fine with me. Doesn't mind all the wizardy stuff either, I fix her house up everynow and again with a few funky things.

Awww, bless!
**Grins and finishes off the peas**
Thanks for that, I needed some peas. Make me cheerful, for some reason.
**Laughs**
Alright, so she's not an Auror... My mum's a pureblood. Really put her family's noses out of joint when she married a Muggleborn. They still haven't gotten over it.
**Rolls her eyes**

Well glad the peas cheered you up cos frankly they'd have done nothing for me, but I think you're the first person to make me laugh in a long long time, so thanks for that too.
*feels a bit more human*
Ugh, pureblood rubbish. Talk about pathetic, all that blood rubbish... never gave anyone a chance to give me stick for it. Being 'muggleborn' *rolls eyes* is fine by me.
You don't get any hassle for that - family wise I mean?

My mum's side of the family would have something to say about it, yeah, but I never see them. Bunch of elitist gits, to be quite honest.
**Grins**
And of course, nobody else gives me stick about it. I'm a big scary Auror with mental hair, nobody messes with me!
**Tries not to think, "except Remus" and fails, her smile drooping a little**
And you're the first one to make me smile in a while, too, so thanks for that, Jim.

No probs. It ain't good to be alone when you're down... but I'm guessing you can't be a grumpy billy-no-mates like meself? You must know tons of people right?

**Giggles**
A few, but they've all got boyfriends or husbands, and remind me of what I don't have. Or else they're Aurors, and they just remind me that I don't even have my job to throw myself into. It's all a bit pants, really.
**Makes a face**
Want me to buy you a drink to make up for eating all your peas?

If you're prepared for me to make a drunken and depressing twot of myself since I'll have one and then get myself another and another then that'd be champion thanks.
*sighs* And I know the feelin.
