I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh every day of my life -- Summer 2017

I leaned closer to Stan.  "Wanna bet that Tommy goes off with Lauryn?  Or do you think I should?" I teased, nudging my brother with my elbow playfully.

I was so happy to hear her say that.  I laughed slightly and looked at Daphne.  "Let's get out of here, shall we?" I inquired, already heading toward the door without Daphne agreeing or disagreeing.

I sigihed and shook my head.  "I have a feeling it will end up being you," I said to my younger brother, "but only because Tommy is a bit nicer than you are when it comes to ladies."

Ron Weasley wrote:I laughed and had to agree with Dean on that one.  "I would always have worry with Ryan," I agreed.  "There's no way not to be worried with that child from the stories I hear."

I looked at Ron and laughed out loud.  "I am not entirely sure if I should be proud or worried that you have heard stories about Ryan," I said, taking a drink of my alcohol while still chortling.

I looked over at Ryan and Stan.  "I heard that," I said to them.  "And I will not be going off with any of you.  I'm going to have to meet back up with Mum, Dad, and Milo at one point anyways."

I raised my eyebrows at Lauryn.  "You act as though you're surprised that Ryan and Stan said something like that," I said to her, chuckling.

I agreed with Sedona.  "Let's," I said to her, holding the door open and then following her out.  "I honestly don't know how anyone could comfortably wear some of that in public."  I shook my head.

I took a drink and laughed with Dean.  "Yeah, I can't say whether I'm pleased to hear the stories that make it back home or not... but that's because Laur's my daughter.  Hermione thinks it's brilliant but I do not," I said, shaking my head slighlty.

"Honeslty, Laur, you should know better by now," I said, winking at her.

I laughed a little bit at that.  "Well, just ask Greyback or Lestrange or something..." I said, shaking my head as we walked around.

I sighed.  "Can we get out of here?" I asked, rubbing my head a bit.  I was starting to get a headache from all the noise and the echoes it made before my eyes.  I was used to seeing like that, but at the same time, it got overwhelming at times.

I shrugged.  "He takes after the Black family name," I said, shaking my head.  "It runs in the family I guess -- not that it's a good thing that it does by any means."

I rolled my eyes and realized that Stan did look a little peaked.  "Ah, yeah, let's get Stan out of here," I said to the boys.  We all started to head towards the entrance to leave the shoppe.

I looked over at Constantine and had to agree with them.  I led the way towards the door and then down the lane where I had spotted an ice cream vendor.  "Want something sweet?" I questioned, pointing for Ryan and Lauryn to see what I was thinking.  "There's ice cream ahead," was what I said so Stan knew what I had in mind.

I chuckled and shook my head.  "I don't even want to talk about them," I told Sedona as we walked down the lane a little bit.  "They drive me mental half the time."
