When: Thursday Morning
Where: The Hospital
What: Working
Rating: TBD

Tori was back at work. Her injuries were all healed, but she still had these horrible, sinking feelings that there was going to be another explosion. She'd been so close the last time, and she didn't want it to happen again. Not to mention that she was freaked out about Draco being the target. She still fancied him, even though he was never around anymore.

In her makeshift office, Tori was going through some lists of potions ingredients she was going to need to order. They were still doing construction--it seemed as if it was going rather slowly--so Astoria's new "office" was simply tarps hung around a cleaned-up area near the blast site. At least she had a desk and a chair, and the silencing charms kept out the construction noise. It also made it hard for her to hear when people came to visit her.

She saw the tarp move, though, and looked up as someone came through her "door".

	She grinned and conjured up a chair to sit down across from Tori, smoothing out her pink nursing robes. "Nothing much, just taking a break from all the walking around. I heard you were back. How are you feeling?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Much better." Tori said. "Glad to be back at work. It's so boring being stuck in bed all day, with people telling me to 'take it easy' and 'get some rest.' I was definitely ready to be back." She shrugged softly. "Though, I miss my office." And the liquor she had stashed in her desk drawer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Aww, I'm sorry I didn't get to come and visit," she sighed. "Things have been hectic and I picked up two extra shifts this week, plus taking care of my mum has been extra stressful," she said. Tori was one of the only people outside of her family that knew of her mother's stay on the Janus Thickney Ward. "And... I'm sort of a bad friend and had a date instead of visiting her best friend."

	"It's all right." Tori said, shaking her head a little. "I survived. I healed." She was glad for a break from her paperwork. "What? Date? Really?" Tori perked up. "Who??" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emma smiled. "Well, I'm glad you're healing. Did Draco happen to visit you?" she asked, but then Tori changed the subject.

"Oh, umm... Tim Blenkinsop," she said, "he works up in spell damage. He's a few years older then us... was in Ravenclaw," she said. "Very cute, it all happened by accident actually. I dropped a cupcake on him a few weeks ago, like the klutz that I am and... it's been growing since then," she all but beamed.

	Tori ignored the Draco question. She wasn't ready to talk about that yet. "Blenkinsop?" She asked. He was half-blooded, she thought. He worked in the hospital and she didn't know much about him. "You did what?" A laugh escaped her. "A cupcake?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emma rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I tripped and dropped it right on him. He just laughed and invited me to sit down with him and he bought me another cupcake," she laughed lightly. "So, then we started talking about planning a Halloween party and we started spending time together. I was going to see him the day of the explosion and we got trapped together in an office... he was hurt and I fixed him up," she smiled softly.

	"Wow." Tori was impressed. She couldn't imagine dropping a cupcake on Draco. Maybe she should, though... "Wow." She repeated. "So... you're dating now, after a cupcake, Halloween party planning, and being trapped together during an explosion?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And then he took me out to dinner and made dessert for me to thank me for saving his life," she grinned. "And we're going out Saturday night... he's taking me dancing, but I don't know where. Oh! And he send me chocolates," Emma grinned. "I hope we're dating... I like this guy, Tori. He's a good guy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-10-26 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	"He made dessert?" Tori was even more impressed. She was starting to get jealous, actually. "And chocolates? Wow. I don't think I've ever had that much attention from a bloke before." She leaned back in her chair. "You could ask him if you're dating. Or if he's seeing anyone else. Because he shouldn't if he's seeing you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Honestly, after this next date, I might ask him how he feels. Merlin Tori... I can't get him out of my head," she grinned, raking her fingers through her blonde locks. "It's childish really - I should be mature about it but... I can't! I really like him!" Emma laughed.

"Now... now you have to tell me how things are with Draco," she insisted. "I gave my dirt, you have to give yours," she begged.

	Tori sighed softly. There was no dirt. She shrugged softly. "He made me dinner. But it feels like it's been weeks since I've seen him." She shook her head a little. "I don't think anything's going on there. I don't think he's honestly interested in me. I should find someone new, I think." She sounded completely defeated and depressed about the whole thing.

	Emma frowned, sitting up straight. "Umm, no," she cut in. "Tori, this is Draco Malfoy, the boy you've been secretly hoping would love you one day. I cannot believe you would let him go like this!" she exclaimed. "Seriously, did something happen? I mean, if there's no chemistry, I would understand but... what is it?"

	fireandlife 2009-10-27 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Tori shrugged softly. "Nothing's happened. That's the problem. When I see him, he's wonderful. But..." She shook her head. "He's never around. I don't think he's interested." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emma was not about to suggest that Astoria chase after Draco - it wasn't ladylike in the least. "Well... you could always invite him over for dinner at your place," she suggested. "Return the favor for him cooking for you? Then maybe you can talk about it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-10-30 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe I will." Tori said, though she was so down-hearted about the whole thing, she probably wouldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emma didn't like to see her friend sad like this - especially over a guy. "We should go out this weekend," she smiled. "How about Friday night we go have drinks and dinner some place nice?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-10-30 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Tori nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that a lot." She gave her friend a small smile. "Let's not even talk about boys or work... let's just go have fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Perfect - we'll do Mexican or something exotic," she grinned, clapping her hands together. "All right, well I had best get on with rounds. I'll owl you with some ideas, OK?" Emma smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-10-31 03:51 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds good." Tori said, giving a little nod. "Take it easy, okay? I'll talk to you soon." (Reply to this) (Parent)
