Alright, you total and complete arse, here's what's going to happen - I'm going to wish you a really good birthday and you're going to send me an owl back with appreciation for the gifts I've sent you and say something along the lines of "Devyn, you're such a brilliant best friend and what you got me is way better than what I got you for your birthday" and we'll both be really happy about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now we can both be sixteen together. This would be a whole lot more excitement worthy if we were legal, but we're not yet, so I guess this is it for now.

Maybe I'll catch up with you later...? If you're not too busy being overwhelmed by everyone saying happy birthday. It's just another fucking day. But make it a good one, okay?

Devyn

P.S. Let me know if you need help operating the music player. Don't want you to accidentally kill yourself trying or anything.

(OOC - okay okay, so she got him a similar looking cactus as the one he got her just as a joke, a muggle mp3 player because he's into muggle gadgets, and some spending money to do whatever he wants with. oh, and she's just teasing, btw, because she definitely liked all the things he got her for her birthday, haha. if anything, she was in a good mood when she wrote this, because she actually signed off the letter and everything!)

[Louis Weasley]

Dev,

Alright, so I'm going to pretend you sent me a lovely letter full of sweetness and compliments, so thanks for that. Anyway, you are a pretty decent best friend sometimes, and the present is pretty awesome. Though not better than the one I got you.

Next year there'll be something worth celebrating, and we won't even be in the middle of OWLs either.

To be honest, I'm having a Hufflepuffs only party in the common room later, but it would be no fun if I didn't get to see you as well, so yeah, catching up would be good.

Louis

PS - I know how to work it, thanks anyway. I'm playing it now, it's awesome.

[Devyn Oberlin]

But I did send you a lovely letter full of sweetness and compliments! You probably just misread it. Oh, and that's entirely debatable - pretty sure my present still beats your present by miles.

Can't wait, I'm counting down the days. Except the year after that we'll be in the middle of NEWTs. I'm going to die.

Wait, Hufflepuffs actually have Hufflepuff-only parties? That's interesting news. If you don't have time for me, that's cool.

Devyn

P.S. So basically, I'm awesome by default because I thought of getting it for you.

[Louis Weasley]

Okay, I'll give you sweetness, because for you that was pretty sweet. But pick me out one single compliment. And I have it sitting in front of me and I'm reading it, so I know there aren't any, so you don't need to bother.

And you totally copied me on the cactus idea.

You're not going to die, you're going to do a hell of a lot better than me. NEWT's aren't really that much of a big deal anyway. So long as I pass Muggle Studies, I'm happy.

Of course we do, and they're better than Slytherin parties. But of course I have time for you, fool. My birthday wouldn't be my birthday if I didn't hang out with you.

Louis

PS - Yeah, okay, if you say so.

[Devyn Oberlin]

Does it count if I give you a compliment now?

My cactus is still better than yours, so it doesn't matter.

No, I'm actually going to die. It's not even - it's going to basically decide what we're going to do for the rest of our lives, or if we're even good enough to do whatever we want to do with the rest of our lives. I'M GOING TO THROW UP, CAN WE JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT NEWTs NOW? even though I'm the one that brought it up

There's nothing better than a Slytherin party, you're delusional. Don't call me a fool, you're the fool.

Devyn

P.S. What is that supposed to mean?

(OOC - laughing because Devyn is literally me when it comes to exams...)

[Louis Weasley]

No, too late.

Mine being the one that belongs to me, and yours being the one that belongs to you, right?

If you're going to die, the rest of your life is going to be non-existent, so you may as well not bother with them... Seriously though, Muggle Studies is the only subject I care about, so sure, let's not talk about it.

Do you all sit in a dark room and wail about how shit the world is and how you hate everyone in it?

Louis

PS - It's supposed to mean, okay, if you say you're awesome, then you are awesome.

[Devyn Oberlin]

Wow, you missed out on a great opportunity there, because now I'm probably never going to compliment you again. I had a good one all thought out and everything.

Ha, nice try. Mine being the one that I bought for you and yours being the one that you bought for me.

Stop it. Do you actually want me to die?

No, there's no need to wail about it because it's shit enough as it is. And I don't hate everyone, because I don't hate you. But if you're so interested, then no, that's not how it goes.

Devyn

P.S. Does this mean you're actually admitting for once that I'm awesome?

[Louis Weasley]

I don't believe you. It was some horrible non-compliment, wasn't it?

The one you bought for me isn't yours any more though.

Come on, you're not really going to die. Nobody eve died from too many exams before.

See, this is why I love the Slytherin emo stereotype, because it's actually true. At Hufflepuff parties, everyone's actually happy, you know.

Louis

PS - Yeah, I guess you could read it that way.

[Devyn Oberlin]

No, it was actually a genuine compliment. But I guess now you'll never know, because you didn't want to hear it.

You're an asshole.

Prove it. I'm going to die. If I died, you'd miss me, wouldn't you?

IT'S NOT TRUE. You're just deeply upset because Slytherins are so much better than Hufflepuffs and you don't even know how to deal with it.

Devyn

P.S. I win.

[Louis Weasley]

Guess not. Ah well.

That wasn't a very good compliment.

You should just relax. They don't matter that much. And what kind of question is that, you weirdo? Of course I would!

Slytherins angst the whole time. Fact.

Louis

[Devyn Oberlin]

Your loss.

Clearly that wasn't meant to be the compliment.

I CAN'T RELAX. THEY MATTER TO ME. And I'm not a weirdo, it was a legitimate question!

You're an idiot. Fact.

Devyn

[Louis Weasley]

Yup.

Oh, it wasn't? You actually had a better one? I'm impressed!

But why? And I'd have thought the answer was pretty obvious...

See, you can't even deny it.

Louis

[Devyn Oberlin]

Wow, you really need to stop playing up the sarcastic card. I feel vaguely threatened.

I dunno. Because Wouldn't you wonder who would miss you if you died suddenly?

Deny what? I already told you that that's not how Slytherin parties go. Just because you've never been to one, you have no idea what you're on about.
