❀ Four ❀ [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

[myloveisalwayshere]

[This is absolutely accidental because Lily would never ever ever flaunt such a costume in public, but hey, at least she's in the spirit of Halloween? Network, have a very red faced Witch wearing this and looking at herself in the mirror.]

This is far too short. What was I thinking? [She tugs on the hem, biting her lip.] Maybe if I wore a skirt with it, but would that get in the way of the tail?

[And she turns to look at said tail, unaware that all of her motions are being recorded.]

Merlin, tights would be better than nothing...

Would you mind? [Now she's getting excited.]

[alwaysimpure]

I would be delighted! We can get James to be useful, too.

[myloveisalwayshere]

It would be the perfect place and I wouldn't have to be away from you lot for most of the day. [Which would make her sad even if she was helping others.]

[alwaysimpure]

Come by when you're free and we can work out the spell and what all you need. Have you met Aisling yet?

[myloveisalwayshere]

Alright. The name sounds familiar, but...? [Drawing a blank.]

[alwaysimpure]

She's a faery. True fae, the real deal, like in the stories. [This is so damn exciting to him still.]

I adore her. She lives in the forest, she knows it better than anyone. That's how I find most of the ingredients for potions and the like.

[myloveisalwayshere]

Really? [Come on, she's a girl. Faeries are amazing.] Is she shy or does she like visitors?

[Is there such a thing as Fae Etiquette?]

If she's anything like the Fae I read about, it'll be pretty easy to adore her.

[alwaysimpure]

She... Well, either, really. She can be quite childish? She's a child, really, in many ways, but also... Well, you'll see. You just have to respect her and the forest and you should be fine. I used her hair as the core for James' new wand.

[myloveisalwayshere]

It almost makes sense for her to be childish. Fae are supposed to be linked with nature and nothing in nature is tainted.

[She beams.] Well I have to meet her, then!

[alwaysimpure]

You do! [He grins.] Fair warning, she might be disappointed you can't turn into an animal. She's come to expect such of my friends.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I'll show her my Patronus. Maybe that will make her feel better. [Humans must be boring to Fae. Animals come in so many shapes, sizes and colors, after all.]

[alwaysimpure]

It probably will. She's wonderful, you'll see. And she can help you find what you need for healing potions.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I'd like her even if she wasn't so useful. Even Muggle children dream of meeting Faeries.

[alwaysimpure]

Yeah? Oh, I remember, I read about that. Muggles know about faeries. But they don't think they're real, right?

[myloveisalwayshere]

That's right. There are some Muggle children that will argue that they are real, however. I was one of them.

[alwaysimpure]

Did I ever tell you that when we were small, my brother and I used to play muggles?

[myloveisalwayshere]

I'm sorry, but that's cute.

[alwaysimpure]

It was adorable! We had to do it in secret. But they made them sound like such fun. You know, stupid, loud, kind of like less ugly trolls? I don't know, it wasn't a very realistic portrayal. Mostly we grunted and hit each other.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I wish someone had recorded that. I bet you two were precious little Muggle trolls.

[alwaysimpure]

Yeah, we probably were. We had to stop when my mother caught us one time. Though, really, if she wanted us to hate muggles, she shouldn't have made them sound so fun.

[myloveisalwayshere]

Muggles pretend like they're Witches and Wizards, so why shouldn't Witches and Wizards pretend they're Muggles? Some of the misconceptions of those who possess magic made them sound fun too.

I think children should have fun.

[alwaysimpure]

See, this is why you're a better mother than mine ever tried to be.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I'm a pretty lenient mother when it comes to little children having their fun.

[alwaysimpure]

In her defense, I'm pretty sure my mother was allergic to fun.

[myloveisalwayshere]

She must have been! Who in their right mind can resist that laugh that only small children can make? It sounds like it comes from their toes. It shakes their whole body!
