Oh Merlin, Ly, what do you think you were doing sending Lily… inappropriate notes in front of Lucy?

Sorry, I was trying to get their minds off of the real topic they were talking about before I came and Lily looked so cute all flustered, I couldn't resist!

Ohhhhh. Wait, you're a grown man Lysander! You're not in adolescence anymore! Hormones shouldn't still play that much of an effect into your life, unless she looked so irregularly cute that you just had to do that.

See, you don't get it like this because Lucy's easily embarrassed and you see it all the time. On the other hand, Lily's as tough as nails so it's rare to see her like that. Do you get that? I guess it's kind of my fault though, I did fall in love with her. Sometimes I feel like I fall in love with her again and again after all of these moments.

Oh. I didn't know that you felt like that. It's kind of adorable seeing you like this too, Lysander! It reminds me that my younger brother is still young! So did you do it?

Hey! You're only older by a minute! Ummmmmm… Yeah, we did it.

Still technically makes me older! So when was the last time you did it before that?

After our wedding. Can we get back to work now? You're making me sound like whatever the hell people think about Len Kagamine because of all of his songs about sex. I came to the Ministry to fill in for Molly, not get treated like your cute younger brother.

Hehehehehehe. I'll bet "that 0.02 millimeter barrier is getting annoying," right? Will it bring your ending soon?

Stop quoting his songs now! "Sacred Spear Explosion Boy" does not apply to me!

I'm just joking, it's fun to see you worked up like that. Let's get back to work.

Well, I guess the birthday was a success! It's great that we managed to distract Ly enough to get him off of our case!

Definitely, even if it wasn't what you had in mind.

Bastard… I'm gonna do that to him next time he gets embarrassed!

I swear you and Ly are the perfect couple. It's kind of like you two are getting back into the adolescence stage again!

Ohhhh. I can see what you mean. That was a really horrible time for me… The thing with goddamn Scorpius, of course.

But you snagged Lysander in the end!

Yup! It really has been forever since we've done things like this. I'm kind of starting to get nostalgic and all. I know I work here and all, but it would be so fun to do something like become a student at Hogwarts again. I'm still here, and with the guy that I love staying by my side. What do you know? Time flies by so quickly.

Definitely. It feels like it was just yesterday when Lorcan asked me out on our first date. I can still remember it like it happened today! But I know it's not true. In a way, it's distant and close at the same time, but I'll always treasure it no matter what.

I'll treasure this warmth from those days too. We're being really sappy, huh? We're like parents already. Actually…

What, Lily? You know how oblivious I am when it comes to stuff like this!

I might be a parent soon…

You're pregnant!?

Yeah… That "0.02 millimeter line" thing that Lorcan brought up was actually pretty accurate.

We need to get everyone together sooner or later! I'll leave you to tell Rose before anything else, though. She's the one who usually puts everything together! Good luck!

Thanks Luce!
