Who: Leanne and Miriam
When: Tonight, late
Where: Leaky Cauldron
What: Leanne's obsession with Katie is making her an alcoholic.

Leanne headed to the Leaky Cauldron after work today. She decided that enough was enough. She was going to write down everything she felt, give it to Katie, and let the other woman make up her mind.

She didn't care if it ruined their friendship. Her heart couldn't take it anymore.

She was on her fourth or fifth (sixth?) drink of the evening, and was barely writing straight anymore.

	Miriam called to the bar for a glass of water for Leanne. "Even if things don't work out the way you hope, I hope it's a relief just to have it all on the table." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It is. But I feel... I feel like I have to say it now. Now that it's off my chest, I really need her to know. To know, you know?" She was using her hands as she spoke, gesturing as if that would help convey her meaning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne took a very deep sigh and leaned back in her chair. "I don't know." She didn't like thinking about that, but she honestly wasn't sure. "I think I'd need some time away from her to heal and move on." That was a deep thought considering how much alcohol she'd consumed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miriam took the glass from the barmaid and set it in front of Leanne. "Drink this or you'll regret it in the morning." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne nodded, gave a soft "thanks" and reached for the glass. She held it carefully between her hands as if it was a precious gem. But she didn't drink from it. She simply stared down at the clear liquid. "My life is about to change." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I hope it's worth it." Miriam's own love life was non-existent, but she was decent at helping others with theirs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-20 05:17 am UTC (link)
	"I hope so, too." Leanne said, giving a little sigh. "But I don't think it will be. I'm in for quite the heartache." She added, nodding sagely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miriam didn't know what to say to that. She wasn't going to be unrealistic just to be comforting. She took a bite of her meat loaf instead. It was really good, she had been really hungry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My uncle Fred always says lies are a knut a dozen, but the truth is worth its weight in galleons." Leanne paused. "Would you tell her if you were me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, me? I'm not much of a risk taker." Miriam shook her head. "Not these days, anyway. I might have said something when I was a teenager. I was a bit more of a romantic back then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-20 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I have to." Leanne said. "I have to clear it away, or I'll never get over it." She lifted the water glass for a sip. It was a small sip. She was starting to feel sick. "I have to tell her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-20 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Miri nodded, continuing to eat her dinner. After another chewed and swallowed bite, she tapped the paper, "Just spell check it first." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-20 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	"No." Leanne looked at the parchment again. She picked it up and tore it in half. "I have to tell her. In person." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"When you're sober," Miriam added, hoping that if Leanne wasn't thinking about doing it sober, she would be now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 01:36 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah." Leanne said. She needed to go home and sleep it off. She lifted the glass for another sip. "When I'm sober." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"Drink that all up," Miriam said, as if Leanne was one of her patients. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Leanne took another sip. Apparently she was rather impressionable when she was drunk. She set the glass down. "I'm so tired now. This really drained me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe you ought to get a room here. Be safe," Miriam suggested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Leanne blinked down at the glass in her hand, then lifted her head to look at Miriam. "That's a really good idea." She said, surprised. What a great idea! "Then I can just go upstairs and crash." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"I'd hate to be responsible for you going home alone and getting mugged." Even though Miriam didn't get her drunk, it was her responsibility now she'd found her this way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 04:13 am UTC (link)
	"Mugged?" Leanne frowned, looking up at Miriam. "I don't want to get mugged." She said, shaking her head. "I'd better stay here." She lifted her glass and sipped from it again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miriam left the table and went to talk to the innkeeper. She got a key under Leanne's name and brought it back to the table. "Here you are. You can settle up in the morning." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Leanne looked drunkenly at the key, then grinned up into Miriam's face. She pulled herself out of the booth and teetered on her feet. "Brilliant. Thanks. You're the best." She reached for the key and nearly fell over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, you need more help than I thought." Miriam jumped up and grabbed her around the shoulders. "Put your arm across my back or you'll never make those stairs." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Leanne grabbed hold, thankful for the extra help. She clung to Miriam to stay on her own two feet. "How can I thank you enough?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You could pop by the Ward and ask Gilderoy for his autograph. He's much less needy when he feels sufficiently admired." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Leanne gave a laugh. "I'll do that. He taught at Hogwarts when I was there, you know." She was still leaning against Miriam as they headed through the bar. "I'll even sit with him for a while and let him talk to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 05:09 am UTC (link)
	"You can make up stories if you'd like. He wouldn't know the difference and he's never going to be rehabbed. I'd rather he's just happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 05:14 am UTC (link)
	"It'd be fun to talk to him." Leanne said, somewhat truthfully. She could spend some time in there with him. "I'd like to see him happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Miriam walked with her to the stairs, then grabbed the railing so that, if Leanne tumbled, she'd have an anchor. "Up we go." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 05:21 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks." Leanne took the steps one at a time, still leaning on Miriam a bit. Though, now that she had a destination and was moving, she was a little stronger on her feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mungos_miri 2009-08-21 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Miriam unlocked the door for her and put the key on the little rickety table by the door. "There you go. Drink lots of water in the morning." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_flitterbl615 2009-08-21 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you." Leanne wandered into the room and flopped face-down on the bed. It was soft. She'd be asleep in moments. (Reply to this) (Parent)
