You make me wish I had said something to you sooner but frankly I don't think my heart could take it.

[mapmaker]

maybe it's for the best we waited.

although you're naturally clever so you would have still managed to outwit everyone in this school.

[lancifolium]

Because I'd have already swooned and hit my head by now, yes.

I'm glad you like me.

[mapmaker]

i'm glad you like me too.

it's gonna to make summer hell, you know that?

[lancifolium]

We could visit each other if you like.

[mapmaker]

i could show you such exciting sights like the post office and the drunk man who sits outside the local and asks me questions about the first world war.

( God, she'd hate his little town and his pokey house. Merlin forbid. )

we could write too? we've done really well at that so far.

[lancifolium]

You act as though I don't live in Cokeworth, the most entertaining thing I can offer you is a sausage roll at Greggs and my sister looking at you like you're some sort of alien.

I planned on writing you letters over the summer already, too presumptuous?

[mapmaker]

i've head good things about their baked goods.

and no, never. i'd really like that? if i don't have letters to write mum's gonna make me weed the garden with her. it's a never-ending battle.

[lancifolium]

Just don't apparate into my bedroom.

[ Whoops saying stuff and then realizing what you've said. ]

You ought to write me letters, I'll write you.

[mapmaker]

i think i'd just take the train. avoid the MoM coming after me for unauthorized magic.

( But her bedroom!! The very thought!! )

i will then.

[lancifolium]

I'll claim it was an emergency

[ Stop talking Lily. ]

I dislike considering how much I'll miss you, and apologize in advance for the abundance of letters.

[mapmaker]

i know.

i missed you a lot before, but it's going to be worse now.

[lancifolium]

You've missed me before?

[mapmaker]

i wasn't lying when i said i'd thought of you before.

( But he's got a hundred and one reasons why a girl like Lily wouldn't be interested in a boy like him. )

[lancifolium]

I didn't think you meant like that!

[ she will continue to give him contrary reasons hy she is if he doesn't stop. ]

[mapmaker]

well!

i did!

i just didn't think i should bring it up.

[lancifolium]

I hope now you realize that you ought to bring it up, you don't stop bringing it up.

[mapmaker]

a daily reminder that i fancied you rotten for years?

[lancifolium]

Actions speak louder than words, Remus.

[mapmaker]

you know it's *me* you're talking to, right?

[lancifolium]

Fair. I'll handle daily reminders until you catch on.

[mapmaker]

you remain a god amongst men.

( He is incredibly lucky that Lily is his friend, and that she wants to be more than that too. )

[lancifolium]

Given the state of the men, I don't think that's a difficult status to achieve, but coming from you I'll take it.

[mapmaker]

i want to defend them, but sometimes the truth is indisputable.

[lancifolium]

Maybe it's not a matter of their being dreadful and more a matter of you're far more fantastic than anyone else I've ever met.
