It seems I should wax poetically on the merits of aging.

But I manage it only has merits if the nation improves as I age.

Warded to Barbara Grey-Fawcett

I appreciate the gift.

Shall I see you tonight?

	Well Happy Birthday anyway, Scorpius. I have a gift for you, but do you like chocolate chip biscuits? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you Sapphira. Were they acquired through illegal means? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Depends if you consider a first-time baking attempt as illegal! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinot_scorpius 2009-11-10 04:08 am UTC (link)
	Not at all. [Warded to Sapphira] How have you been? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluegem 2009-11-10 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Then some slightly wonky, but still tasting good, biscuits are on their way. [Warded to Scorpius] Aside from being exasperated by my parents? Relatively well. I don't have this sneezing thing, thank Salazar. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My parents have yet to publicly announce an arranged engagement. I do imagine that means I am slightly better, though it is only a matter of time until I share your exasperation. I am after all much more eligible for marriage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Much more eligible? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes? I am now a year beyond the age of adulthood. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Happy Birthday. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, Juliana. I hope your prefect endeavors are going well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I admit I would have rather not had rounds the same night as Bonfire Night, but otherwise, I do believe they're going well. Thank you for asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinot_scorpius 2009-11-10 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Bonfire night, an evening of revelry and English mischief. If you ever have need of anything, please let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	harkissed 2009-11-10 04:20 am UTC (link)
	Again, thank you. I will certainly keep that in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Happy Birthday. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, Eoghan. It's fortunate we do not have Quidditch practice this evening. [Warded to McLaggen] I do hope your family is well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snobbed 2009-11-10 04:23 am UTC (link)
	You're welcome. I'm certain you'll find something more fun to do with your time. [Warded to Malfoy] My grandfather isn't doing well but otherwise it's much the same. How is yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Warded to McLaggen] pinot_scorpius 2009-11-10 02:49 pm UTC (link)
	Well, my grandfather is rather dead at the moment, but I do hope yours fairs better. The rest of my family is well. Thank you for asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Warded to McLaggen] snobbed 2009-11-10 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	I meant your living family. It's just a matter of him finally dying though. He'll be joining yours soon enough. Your welcome though. This conversation has been more than delightful. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Is it your birthday? I intended to send you something, ~~since you did so for~~ but I must have completely missed it. ~~Maybe I can still~~ Happy birthday, in any case. I hope it was a good one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pinot_scorpius 2009-11-10 04:12 am UTC (link)
	It is the day upon which I was born, but it's hardly necessary to send anything. The sentiment is enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	emc2 2009-11-10 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Well, I suppose so. It hardly seems fair, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinot_scorpius 2009-11-10 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Fairness would have to be your area of expertise, not mine. I have rather poor luck understanding Hufflepuff values. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Scorpius emc2 2009-11-10 04:32 am UTC (link)
	I don't know about that. Generosity and kindness could be seen as Hufflepuff values. And you sent me a gift for my birthday, which was kind and generous. You had nothing to gain from it, and I didn't expect anything from you. I'm sorry for springing a privacy hex on you, but I wasn't sure if you wanted that to be widely known.

	I must have thought you were someone else at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Warded to Scorpius emc2 2009-11-10 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Does it matter who I am or was? It was a gift and an act of kindness. Everyone needs and deserves that. And even if everyone didn't, the act stands for itself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm glad. I wasn't entirely sure what to get you. I'd asked Saoirse if she had any suggestions, she said something about books or poetry. Then I remembered you posting something of Keats some time ago and figured I couldn't go wrong there. That'd be nice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Warded to Bar pinot_scorpius 2009-11-10 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	I find Keats to always be enlightening. Though, I am equally fond of most poetry. Would you like to meet in the common room? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Warded to Scorpius fierysnake 2009-11-10 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	I don't believe I've ever tried to properly appreciate poetry. It would make sense to. I... um... I don't know if I said anything, but I enjoyed Monday night last week when we were stargazing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Scorpius rosierose 2009-11-10 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Happy Birthday! I'm sorry that I did not know prior to this, I actually just overheard someone mention it and then I saw the birthday wishes here. If I'd known previously, I'd have tried to get you something. So, I'm sorry about that. The least I can do is hope you had a good day. (Reply to this)

	twoheaded 2009-11-11 06:38 am UTC (link)
	Fair enough. But Happy Day-People-Tend-To-Give-You-Baked-Goods Day, anyway. (Reply to this)
