Rating: TBD

Tori told Emma that they had to have tea. She went to the nurse's station and grabbed her friend, dragging her away so they could have some girl talk. Five minutes later they were upstairs in the tea room, with cups of tea and a plate of cookies in front of them.

Tori was leaning in. She'd mentioned news, but hadn't told Emma yet.

"Draco and I are together." She whispered, grinning brightly.

"Tell me what you've been doing? Is he completely romantic and treating you like a princess?" she beamed. She had a feeling that Draco was the type.

Emma peered curiously over at Tori and laughed a little. "Seriously? You think I want a baby running around at my ankles," she smirked, thinking Tori was referring to safe sex. As serious as her parents had been about the pureblood line - those thoughts didn't enter her head about Tim. Tim was Tim and he was a good guy.

"Well, we don't go out all that often, but we work together, so I get to see him a lot." Tori said. "He's rather attentive when we're together." Tori said, shrugging softly. "I'm crazy about him. Have been for years. He doesn't have to do much to please me." She admitted, grinning.

Her eyes went wide, though, and the grin faded. "Emma! You're sleeping with him??" She half-asked, half-scolded.

	Emma laughed. "I'm so happy for you," she said sincerely. She took a cookie from the plate, breaking a piece off to eat. Then, she nearly choked on the cookie when she saw Tori's disapproving eyes. "Hey... what's that look for?" she asked. "I... yes... I slept with him," she said, "and I don't feel bad about it, so don't look at me like that!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Astoria shook her head, disapprovingly. "Nice, proper, young ladies wait until they're married." She said, though she was a bit curious. She couldn't fault her friend. If Draco wanted to have sex with her, would she say no? Probably not. She'd give her virginity to him if he wanted it. It was a scary thought, but also intriguing.

"...what was it like?" She asked after a moment, going pink.

	Emma scoffed. "Well, he wasn't my first," she mumbled, sipping her tea. She sighed. "I'm sorry, Tori but... I really care about him and he cares about me. It was... wonderful," she smiled dreamily. "I feel so connected to him and... it's really amazing, too," she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tori gave a gentle nod. She'd known that about Emma, but she didn't think Emma would go sleeping with someone with his blood status... "Yeah?" She asked, going a little pinker. She'd only done solo runs so far. "I don't know about all of this. If I approve." She was mostly kidding. She knew Emma didn't need her approval. "Maybe I'll have to meet him."

	Emma was confused. "Wait... why wouldn't you approve?" she scoffed lightly. "I mean, you haven't even really met him and... I'm so confused." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Because very, very few men on this planet are good enough for my Emma." Tori said, as if it was obvious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aww, that's very sweet," Emma smiled, reaching out for Tori's hand. "Tim is... wonderful. I feel hard and fast.. I can't help it. When I'm around him... I can't stop smiling and my heart does little flip flops. He's such a good guy, Tori... really..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-21 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but... is he good enough. That's the question." Tori responded, giving Emma's hand a gentle squeeze before reaching for a cookie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emma sighed - she probably should have seen this coming. "You don't think I thought about that?" she asked softly, setting her teacup down. "If my father were alive, he wouldn't approve... but then he would have never taken the time to get to know him. Times have changed, Tori..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-21 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	"They haven't changed that much." Tori said, shrugging softly. "There are still a lot of people who wouldn't approve." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-21 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Are you telling me that... you don't approve, Tori? Are you really going to sit there and judge Tim, the one guy I have ever really cared about?" she accused, feeling hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tori shook her head. "I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that I don't know what I'm going to think until I meet him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-22 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Emma no longer liked that line of thinking - perhaps she was maturing somewhat? Maybe her father's death and her mother's condition had changed her... for the better? "Well, I really want you to get to know him. I think he's going to be a really important part of my life," Emma smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-22 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah?" Tori asked. She was trying her best to be excited for her friend, but... Well, old habits die hard. "Just like Draco is in mine." She paused for a moment. "You don't think we should all go out together, do you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-22 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Emma pondered that thought for a moment - if Tori was unsure about her approval of Tim, Draco was not likely to approve either. "I don't know... Draco was always picky about the people he associated with," she reminded Tori. "Maybe best to wait that one out..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-22 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"Well, we can just meet for drinks. Not a lot of commitment there." Tori said, shrugging softly. "We can just hang around for a few minutes, have a drink or two, then go our separate ways." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-22 05:01 am UTC (link)
	She nodded a little. "I'll see what Tim thinks," Emma smiled softly. She didn't like that she was having to defend her relationship to her best friend, but she knew that Tori only had Emma's best interests at heart. "I know I would like it, but I don't want anyone uncomfortable." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-22 05:02 am UTC (link)
	"If I ask him to, I'm sure Draco will agree." Tori said, smirking a little. She was enjoying being in the relationship with the man of her dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ohh, I see how it is with him, then," Emma laughed, finishing her cookie. "I'm happy for you, really. I mean, it's Draco - your pre-teenage crush," she reminisced. "Is it how you thought it would be, so far?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-22 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"It's better." Tori said, grinning. "It's so much better, because it's real." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-22 05:12 am UTC (link)
	"You're... glowing!" Emma laughed. "Well, a short time ago, I would have been very jealous. Draco is a good catch, Tori, so hold onto him," she winked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-22 05:15 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, you'd better believe it." Tori said, still smirking. She lifted her teacup to finish it off. "And let me know when I get to meet Tim." She added, lifting her wrist to glance at her watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-22 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Emma glanced at the clock over Tori's shoulder. "Oh, I have rounds in a few minutes," she sighed. "You'll get to meet him soon, promise," she smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good. Take these cookies back to the girls." She said, pulling herself up. "I've got to get back to my office." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-11-22 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Emma stood with her, leaning over to kiss Tori's cheek. "I'll be in touch, OK?" she smiled, waving her wand to wrap up the cookies for her fellow nurses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fireandlife 2009-11-22 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, sounds good." Tori, gave Emma's arm a squeeze, then turned to head out. She wanted to bring the idea up with Draco, see if it would stick. And she had to do a little research on this Blenkinsop fellow. (Reply to this) (Parent)
