Texts: Home Strange Home
Who: Fiona to Clary, Jamie, Aldrich, Magnus, and Tina; also Scorpius (as Jeremy)
What: Settling back in is strange...
When: 18 March 2028
Warnings: Likely none, tbd
Completion Status: In progress

To Clary: It feels so strange to be back home still. How are you? France was lovely, but I missed you terribly!

To Jamie: I miss you

To Aldrich: I've been worried I think I was in France long enough to actually miss you. Lunch soon?

To Magnus: I booked an appointment with you for next Wednesday but can we do lunch soon? I missed you while I was hiding relaxing in France!

To Tina: How are you love? I've missed you! Lunch soon?


Jeremy
Today 12:42 PM
Hey! How are you? This weather is gorgeous. Hoping you're enjoying it too. How's the pup?
Tbh I'm missing France. The weather has improved here, but it's nothing like in France. Have you been?

The pup is doing quite well! He's stopped trying to leave me with only right-foot shoes, at least, so we're counting that as a win. How have you been?
He must have thought you'd look fantastic with a peg leg. A life as a pirate may have been in your future if he kept it up. Hopefully you didn't loose too many shoes to his chewing.

I've been really good, started my own business with my best mate. Renovating homes. We bought our first home to flip. It's exciting to be actively working towards a dream.
I certainly hope that wasn't his aim! I'm not sure I could pull off a peg leg and eyepatch. You can't be a pirate without an eyepatch, right?

Oh wow! That's exciting! Has house flipping always been a dream?
It's an unspoken rule. Pegleg and eyepatch. Only the best have both, and you'd obviously want to be one of the best. Like Anne Bonny... though she didn't have a pegleg or eyepatch. I might not be on to something.

It hasn't actually. I've never had a dream job in mind? Kind of a shiftless layabout as mum calls me. I got really into fixing things after Hogwarts, so my dad got me a bike to try my hand at. I've been working on it ever since. I love that thing. What about you? Have a dream job in mind?
Yeah, probably not...

Well, it's good you've got goals now. I'm a bit aimless myself at the moment. I've done a lot of social work, and my heart's still there, but sometimes it's a bit much.
Have you tried volunteering anywhere? My mum had me volunteer for a bit. I picked one of the animal rescues. It was cool being able to work with the animals. at least til I got fired....
I've done lots of volunteering. I think I might like to work with kids, but I'm not fully decided yet. It's a big decision.
Why such a big decision? Your next step doesn't have to be a huge one. Do something you find enjoyable. Though, I may be overstepping and I apologize if I misunderstood
Because I've already taken quite a bit of time to do things I find enjoyable, and what I really want is to make a positive impact on the world, starting in those little ways on the individual level. Does that sound terribly arrogant?
It doesn't sound arrogant at all. It sounds like someone that wants to make a positive impact on the world. There's not many people in the world like you. You're a special sort. Most don't care about the world around them, they are far far too focused on their own soap opera of a life to see past to the bigger picture. I'm one of them
Well thank you for that. I'm not certain there's anything wrong with people focusing on their own lives though. It's just easier to ignore mine Do you really think most people's lives are like a soap opera?
Usually at some point or another. Maybe not to the extent that soap operas get to, like Grace is pretty wild. I'm sure it happens though. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Mine has been at times I suppose. Is yours like a soap opera?

That's probably a bit too personal, isn't it?
Eh, I don't think it is? Too personal that is. There's been a few times it's felt like a soap opera. I mean... we just found out my best mate is my sister's kids father? So that feels a bit soap opera like. hurt too
Oh! That's a lot! Sometimes the things I hear about my oldest brother's life sound like a soap opera but he brings it upon himself a lot, I think. I prefer my own life a bit calmer than all that.
I would like my life to be calm. It doesn't seem at the moment that's in the cards. sort of dating a quidditch star the house remodeling business, my sister just had her second baby, lots going on. I wouldn't mind a weekend of doing nothing for a change.
Doing nothing gets quite boring after a while, but hopefully you'll get your break from the chaos soon.
You wouldn't be interested in grabbing lunch sometime would you? Maybe at a park, take the pup out. It'd be a great way to do nothing for just a small bit. With some great company.
Like as a date? Umm sure, that sounds like a lovely idea. And I know the pup will enjoy it loads!
I can bring sandwiches from this deli I know. Have any favorite meats? Or do you not do meat? I'm a terrible friend, probably should know that.
Not a terrible friend at all! It's not as though we've spent loads of time together for you to pick up on that sort of thing. But no, I'm not a vegetarian. I like a classic cold cut, lots of veggies, just no green peppers. Too bitter for my tastes. And I prefer honey mustard for the sauce. I can bring crisps and drinks, if you like?
Yeah, that'd be perfect! Do you have any park you like better than others? I tend to find myself at Hyde Park.
Hyde Park is lovely. When are we doing this?
When are you free? Seeing as I am my own boss, I can work around schedules. Albie works nights at the bar so we try to use week days and days in general to work on the house. So maybe a weekend day?
Albie... Albie Potter? Your best friend is Jamie's How about the first weekend of spring? Next Saturday, the 26th?
I think that's perfect, it will hopefully stay warm. I can bring my mums picnic blanket that has heating charms just in case.
Lovely. I'll see you next Saturday then :)

So good that you're home now! I've missed you so much. How was it? Did you do anything awesome and fun?

I didn't do a whole lot tbh, part of why I just couldn't be there any longer. When I came back for Evie's birthday, I think I realized how much I missed home. Doesn't mean I don't miss France now, though! How have you been?

Yeah I suppose that is a good reason! I know everyone missed you a lot.

I've been all right, much of the same old same old I suppose. Haven't gone out much lately.

It was strange bc I was still with family, you know? Though Ophelia is... a bit much sometimes. I've messaged Tina too, hoping she might like to do lunch with us sometime soon. Any day better for you? I still haven't sorted out my next career path, so my schedule's quite open.

We should rectify that! Shake things up! Are you still active on that dating app? I've been considering reactivating mine. It might do me good to date around a bit, meet some more new people. I'm too anxious to tell Jamie that I

No day more than any other, I think. I'd love to do lunch with you two.

You'll get it figured out, I know you will.

I was, but i haven't gone on there in quite a while.

That could be good for you. Not Jamie though, huh? No pressuring, just curious.

Lovely! I'll let you know what she says!

I think that Jamie has the potential to be The One, and that rather terrifies me still? Does that sound silly? It all felt so serious so fast while we were dating last year, and I don't know that I'm quite ready for that.

Awesome!

It is scary. There's no harm in dating around a bit and all, and i'm sure he'd understand all of that. Have some fun, lady ;)

Evenings are better for me at the moment. I'm trying to put time aside at the weekend to film content that I can put out during the week, but I doubt you want to be part of that!

Of course! Just make sure to tell me what level of feedback you're interested in first? As for lunch, let's do tomorrow? And I can drag you to mum and dad's after to help mum in the greenhouses. She's starting to prep for spring planting.

I don't even know, maybe I'll have you figure out multiple levels. I need to know if this is the direction I'm going to run in or not. I'm biased, I hate it.

I'm so not up for it. I'm still smarting. I haven't seen her since that night.

I think Dad needs help with the mini-quidditch league too. I believe it's starting up soon.

I think I can work with that. Of course you hate it! You wrote it. That doesn't mean it's rubbish!

I doubt dad needs help with that. It doesn't start up until late spring, silly. Are you avoiding mum or something? That doesn't sound like you. Are you ill?

I've been good, started dating again finally. I'd love to! Pick a weekend day, I'll be sure to keep myself free. Work is getting... Interesting. I think we're close to a breakthrough, so I don't want to miss too much work. I've been taking working lunches.
How are you? I'm so glad you're back.

That's exciting! How's that going? It was a rough start with me last year but I think I might be better muddling through now... And a work breakthrough, also exciting! I don't suppose you can give me a hint as to what sort of breakthrough?

I'm happy to be home. And missing France at the same time, it's a bit strange. Flynn has been wonderful though, of course, kept the upstairs just the way I left it, bless him.

It's going fantastic, we've found ways to have our own time together, even with both of us having roommates. I think I'm going to move out of Clary's Mmmm, let's just say that we are figuring out how certain things react together. It doesn't sound so exciting, but I promise it's going to help the bigger picture.

Of course he did, I'm sure it's clean as well. I don't think we could say the same if it had been Aldrich you were sharing a place with. What're you doing now that you're back? Any job prospects?

Roommates? You mean you haven't moved back into the cottage yet? I am so out of the loop! Advancements in potions reactions are always exciting, I can't wait to hear more about it once you're allowed :)

That's the truth! I think that getting my own place is going to be my next big thing. I love Flynn, but I don't want to live with my twin forever. I need independence and self sufficiency and all that grown up stuff! I'm also considering applying at the Fawley Foundation, but shhh, I haven't told anyone else yet! I think I'd love working with the children, and I still want to do social work on some level, but I can't go back to the Ministry and Aunt Addi's shelters are such a wonderful resource, but it was just too hard.

It's gotten close, most of my things are at the cottage at this point. I totally blame Liam.

There's a little cottage up the road from mum's that's for sale, I bet she knows the owners and could get you a great deal. Do you want me to check into it for you? Also, I think you're going to do fantastic with children. You'll have to keep me updated on what direction you go, I vote for Fawley.

Ooh is there? I was thinking more a flat in the thick of things, but you know my little introvert's heart would be more at home down the road from you! You did mean the cottage and not her and Uncle Hype's place, right? Of course I'll keep you updated!

Once I can figure out how to break the news to Clary. I'm sure she'll enjoy having the place to herself again.

Of course I meant a cottage! I would never tell you to move in with those two. The last time I was over, I not only caught them snogging in the kitchen, but I also caught Kenzie and Jasper snogging in the greenhouse. It was an eye opening day.
