Sally-Anne Mayes (But Kind of Lovegood) (lescene) wrote,

It was finally time for winter break, and Sally-Anne Mayes was happy to say that she wasn't staying at Hogwarts for this break. She didn't want to stay at Hogwarts this time, contrary to the other breaks where she usually had no other choice. But this time, she had a place to call home. Sally didn't have to pretend anymore -- she had someone she could call family, no matter how loose the term 'family' really was.

The moment she had stepped off Platform 9 3/4, Sally planned to find a cab to go to Lionel's apartment. She hated Apparating, so she certainly didn't plan on doing that, but she tried to remember how much muggle money she had in her bag. Sally had a feeling she'd have to do some quick converting the moment she found a space that wasn't crowded by wizard families or confused muggles. That was going to prove trickier than she had planned for.

	She whispered, "No. Don't be sorry." Sally didn't want to turn her head. His lips felt so wonderful in her hair, and she didn't want to ruin anything. "I don't want to go back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," Lionel agreed. He could hardly blame her, and how could he really tell her to stay, if he left for the same reasons she wanted to? He sighed. "It's just a little while longer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She molded herself closer to him. "It's too long," Sally sighed. "It's not as if it's even getting me anywhere." Sally was rather frustrated with Hogwarts at the moment, especially without Lionel. She wanted desperately to do what she wanted, stay with him and work for The Quibbler. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure it is," Lionel disgreed softly. "It's just a little longer, and then you'll be out. And then you can do whatever you want, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sally nodded. "Only a little while," she told herself more than Lionel. "Do you have to do anything today?" Sally asked. She'd rather just spend all day with him than watch him be distracted while she lazed around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Finished up an article just an hour ago," Lionel said. "I think I can afford to give myself the day off." He pressed a kiss to her hair and smiled as the cab pulled to a stop. "Shall we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled and sat up, opening the door to the cab. Sally slipped out and stretched her arms. Merlin, she felt tired, she thought to herself as she yawned loudly to prove that thought. "What was your article about?" Sally asked casually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lionel laughed faintly at her yawn, handing a little muggle money over to the driver before returning to her side and walking up the steps to his front door. "Disappearing jungle frogs being eaten as delicacies in the Amazon and giving invisibility powers to local indigenous muggles," he answered, fishing through is pockets for his keys.

	Sally blinked and then grinned. She wasn't surprised anymore about things like this. It was so normal for Lionel to think of something so crazy yet so sensible at the same time. That was one of the things she liked best about him. "It sounds brilliant," she commented. "I can't wait to read it, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lionel shrugged modestly. "It's alright," he said, pushing open the front door. "You wanna take some pictures again?" He smiled at Sally, walking down the hallway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She grinned. "Maybe. What did you have in mind?" Sally asked. She was always happy to take pictures, even though she knew she wasn't the best photographer. She knew that she was getting better, but Sally had the nagging suspicion Lionel only kept her there because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Artistic interpretation," Lionel answered airily, pulling open the door to his apartment and holding it for Sally Anne. "I think the real question is what do you have in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmmm," she murmured, walking into the apartment and immediately flopping down on the couch, sprawled out on it. "I'm thinking... something sort of abstract," Sally voiced. "But I think that it would have to be posed instead of real life." (Reply to this)(Parent)
