I mean, you could always do some new quidditch gear.

I got him a leather-bound edition of Quidditch Through the Ages I saw him eyeing last time we went out shopping for Mum's anniversary gift.

well ofcourse. but has that ever stopped him from want more?

has he got the new weird sisters album?

she doesn't let him shop for himself starting in like october and she's a hardass. i'm sure you're fine with whatever you get him. not to mention how excited he gets just to have us all up in scotland for more than like an overlapping twenty minutes.

If I didn't know she'd give me a bollocking for it, I'd buy him some Magpies merch just to see his reaction

I'll stick to the album

yah mum would tan your hide.

just because we're adults, doesn't mean we should still fear her in all the healthy, totally well-adjusted ways ;p

Thank Merlin she got that promotion so the rest of the world can see how terrifying she is

ikr?! people thought we were ~insane all those years. Even Dad doesn't get it! Rose-colored glasses? Granted, we're lucky to have her - can you imagine dad left to his own devices?

That's too depressing to contemplate. You can't have one without the other

At least when I've bought Dad's present that's the last one and she can stop chivvying me to finish my shopping

has she been on your case about it? she hasn't asked me once? maybe she thinks (~knows) i have more free time on my hands? godric, how do people even end up in couples like mum and dad anymore?

Not directly but she keeps reminding me how many says it is until Christmas 🤷‍ I think she knows you're more organised than I am

I don't think they make couples like that anymore

ugh. that's depressing. are you emo now?

No I just hate being single at Christmas

you know that you could date like literally anyone right? your high standards are showing.

I'm flattered that you think I have high standards

well, when you have standards (read: not often) they're high. you're like one of the most eligible blokes in britain, you know that right? like, my own employer says so every year. it's on a list.

Is it too much to ask for someone to want to date me because they like me and not because I'm 'eligible'??? Being in those lists makes it hard to trust people

I do suppose this is something we both should have considered before we became figures in the public spotlight?

Don't think we could have predicted this. Anyway, most of the families we grew up with were in the spotlight, that was normal for us

Well yes, but we are both smarter than the average fame-seeker. And also true, though I like to think we McLaggens are better at this than the random Weasley hanger-on.

Sorry didn't mean to get all mopey on you. I'll try to snap out of it

You're always welcome to mope with me. Though it is my sworn duty to try to cheer you up, as your sister and your favorite sibling.

And here I thought that was my job as the big brother. Thanks, Skye
