Teddy And Scorpius Being The Black Cousins Who Are Scared Of Their Weasley Father In Laws

Ah hello!

So there's this whole "each house in Hogwarts has a secret room" theory, in which each Hogwarts founder created their own version of the Chamber of Secrets but less sinister for only the worthiest of students to uncover. In my mind, Rowena would have a tea room + library hidden somewhere in the castle. Thus the Ravenclaw's Tea Room handle.

I want to know you whether you’re afraid of sharks or spiders death or love.

I want to know if it’s grammatical errors that drive you crazy or the people correcting them, if you’re more comfortable shaking sand out of your hair or snow, if you prefer coffee or tea, bars or board game nights.

I want to know which of your friends you’ve cried in front of, if you’ve ever laughed chocolate milk out of your nose, or kissed someone you didn’t love.

I want to know you the you beneath the layer of small talk always kept shined and smudgeless

I’m just hoping one day you’ll invite me in.

Someone who is very strong has to be very nice also.

I want to look back and say that I was alive. That I didn’t turn my back. That I tried. That I was happy.

Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited (via the-book-diaries)

I was thinking how amazing it was that the world contained so many lives. Out in these streets people were embroiled in a thousand different matters, money problems, love problems, school problems. People were falling in love, getting married, going to drug rehab, learning how to ice-skate, getting bifocals, studying for exams, trying on clothes, getting their hair-cut and getting born. And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve. It was happening all the time, unnoticed, and it was the thing that really mattered.

Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck, when you don’t go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought. And then you can get hit with a day, or an hour, or a half a second when so much happens it’s almost like you got born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet.
