Are you feeling emo again, Dame? I'm really starting to worry about you, dude.

Not any more then usual. Tough day at work and just felt kinda lonely. Still kind of uncertain about the future. Lot of thoughts swirling around in this head.

I'm fond of that sentence though, it would make a good lyric.

It would. We should write into a song and play it on our band, that we WILL have.

I'm sorry you're feeling blue, Damien.

Word, bro.

It's alright. Its just part of being 19 I think. I envy you for having everything so figured out.

Word my brotha!

You've really embraced teenage angst, that's for sure. I just worry when you're emo more than cheery, pal.

::smirk::

I'm not a mopey depressing emo kid though, I'm just a sensitive artist.

It's just been a rough patch of days I think. It will get better.

Oh right. We can't confuse the two. *grins*

I know it will. If you need to talk you know I'm just a phone call away.

Damien Dresden - if you start strumming 'Yesterday' I swear I'm going to hex your fingers so they stick together.

ooc: she couldn't resist.

::a smile forms, she's always been able to make him smile no matter what::

That would be really detrimental and a bit of a cruel thing to do to a guitarist.

((Glad to hear from future!lily I hoped she'd find this post))

That's the sheer power of my evil, evil genius unleashed.

*grins* So what's got you twisted in knots?

future!lily's just as nosy as current!lily

LILY?!!!

BILLY!!!!

Oh my god! I can't believe its you!

Damien is one of my best friends and all the time I heard Lily this and Lily that and since I never heard from you I was begining to think you died and he was just talking about you to sound cool.

I can't believe it's YOU either!

*springs on him and hugs*

Wow! You look great! I've missed you you know. Nobody gives me white chocolate anymore!

*hugs her and swings her around before putting her back down*

Thanks! You do too! You grew up well!! I definitely missed you tons and tons and tons.

*laughs and blushes the same exact way he did when he was little*
I can't believe you remember that!! I was so in love with you when I was little. I think you change my life with your never end attempts to raise myself esteem!

I remember everything! I remember thinking you were so sweet. Well you should have good self-esteem wizard or not!

So...tell me, everything!

*laughs*
I think you guys saved me a whole lot of times. Ah, man I wanted to be a wizard so bad!

Everything? *puts his arm around his friend and smiles* Well okay, but you're going next!

I'm going to graduate from high school this year and then I'm gonna college, probably NYU or somewhere in the city or nearby, even though I've been joking that I'll that im going to go to school in Chicago to annoy Damien. I'm captian of the baseball and hockey teams and I'm also a sprinter on track during the offseason. Uh, I'm going to go medical school after college.. I have a girlfriend, her name's Hope. *blushes and shows her a picture of a young redhead lady that looks a bit like Lily in a way* She's amazing. Way too good for me.

Do I get your life story now, Lils?

I tried to tell you you'd be amazing without being a Wizard! But would you listen? Noooo!

*blinks*

How do you have time to SLEEP? Medical school? That's incredible! *looks at the picture completely oblivious to any resemblance* Oh she's very beautiful! No one is too good for you Billy Renard and don't you forget it!

Me? Let's see. I graduated from Hogwarts this year. *small proud smile* Ten NEWTs. I've got a new job working as a curse-breaker for Gringott's like my uncle Bill. I really like it, it's challenging but mostly I'm just waiting for a position to open up at Hogwarts so I can go back and teach Arithmancy.
I've got a new flat in Diagon Alley so I'm not too far away from work or the family. That's about as exciting as it gets. I hang out with a lot of Goblins these days.

I should have listened to you!!

*laughs* I sleep! I've got four young siblings, 3 are under 10, its not like I'd get much rest anyway! And I didn't even mention the band Dame and I are going to start someday.

I hope you meet Hope someday, you two would hit it off! She really is the greatest thing in my life.

*smiles and listens as tells him about her life*
That's awesome, Lily! So you're right near Fred and George's shop, huh? I'll have to come visit! You'd be such an amazing teacher, I can totally see it!!

So did you ever play Quidditch at school like you always wanted? Were you and Damnien in the same house?

FOUR siblings and 3 under 10? Yeah, no wonder you don't rest! You and Damien are starting a band? What instrument do you play?

I can't wait to meet Hope...so I can be sure she's good enough for you! Seeing how happy she makes you I just know I'm going to like her!

Yeah I'm actually across the alley from their shop. We usually have breakfast together before work. Of course you have to come visit!

*beams* Ravenclaw Seeker since first year. It was so much fun! I didn't get recruited to play professionally like Mum did but that's okay I like curse-breaking.

For real. I love them all though, I just know how Fred and George's parents must have felt!!

I play the guitar. Obviously I'm not as good as he is, no one is, well maybe Hendrix was but no one else.! I play in a garage band here with some of the guys but me and Damien are going to have a real band!!

You come visit and the four of us will hang out! And trust me, she's way to good for me.

I'll plan a trip as soon as I can! Maybe I'll hitch a ride with Damien again sometime.

Seeker? I wish I could have seen you play, I'm sure you were fantastic! Was Damien a Ravenclaw too? I always though he'd end up as a lion!

That's amazing, Lily! It sounds like so much fun!

College in Chicago for the win! Theres good learning up here and I'm sure the 'rents would let you stay with us. That would help a bit with tuition costs.

Yeah, and they've got some of the best med schools and resdency programs in the country!

I sometimes wish that I could hire someone to make all my decisions for me. It seemed like I had everything planned perfectly from age 10 to 19 and now I'm not sure what to do.

You look great by the way. How bout a hug?

::Holds out his arms and gives her a "hug me please" sort of look::

Hire someone?

Are you KIDDING? I'll make all your decisions for you for nothing! I'm a giver that way. *giggles the same Lily giggle as always*

Thanks! I spent the summer with Aunt Fleur and Uncle Bill in Paris! New clothes, new look, new -well, new everything.

*walks over and wraps both arms around him* Missed you.

Well you can start by telling me what to about the family business. Dad's gonna retire in a year or two ...

... And then there's us. I love Chicago, but I don't know if I want to take up residence if your gonna be an ocean away.

::Leans in to give her a kiss:: I missed you too.

Oh man - you can't start me off with an easy decision huh?

Well, what do you want? Not what you think you need to do. Not what you're supposed to do. What do you want to do?

You know, the distance isn't as big a deal with us as it would be with other people. I mean...we're only a quick apparation away from one another.

All I want is for you to be really happy.

I think my problem is that I don't know what I want. Do you know what you want Lily? Are you gonna play pro quidditch or be an auror ... or you know something else.

I know it isn't, but I'm not very keen on us leading separate lives until we find time for each other. That kind of sucks.

I want to be happy too.

Eep! I didn't tell you! I got the job with Gringott's. Uncle Bill put in a good word for me as a curse breaker since I did so well on my NEWTs. I like the work so far. Goblins are a little touchy to work with but I don't mind. I'm just sort of killing time until a place opens up as an Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts.

And! My own flat right in Diagon Alley! Mum helped me pick out a bunch of nice stuff. It's small but it's all mine and I can walk to work!

*kisses him* We're never leading separate lives. Not really. I'm always with you when it counts.

Thats fantastic babe. I'm proud and glad for you. You worked really hard for those grades and you deserve all the good things that come along with them.

::he smiles:: You'll make a fantastic teacher. Though I don't think I could handle a job like that myself.

I'll have to come over and see it. Not that I don't totally love your family, but it would be nice for a change to visit and have some privacy.

::Kiss her back with a bit more eagerness:: I know. The truth is no matter how much time we spent together it still wouldn't seem like enough. I love you.

I know I told you this already, but you really look good Lily.

Tell me about Paris?

You know Hogwarts, it's never boring!

You will have to see it. It's across the alley from Fred and George's shop. That's about as far away from the family as I could/wanted to get.

*kisses his lips, then his cheeks* I really missed you.

*bats eyelashes and FINALLY has mastered the part-veela hair toss* Do I?

Paris was amazing! It was nice to put all the French Victorie's taught me to use. *tiny sigh* Except, there was one thing really missing in Paris...you. It's the most romantic city in the world and you weren't there. So it was just nice.

::He threads his lower lip though his teeth and takes a moment to look at her. The gorgeous scarlet hair, vibrant eyes, the athletic frame. She had always looked beautiful, but there was something about her at the moment ... she looked stunning, really::

You really do. To the point where the oaf in me considers suggesting that we apparate off to that new place of yours for some quality time.

::He smiles:: I promise we'll go sometime. Spontaneously. Just because we can. I'm picturing wine, some of that rich French food and the night sky, with the city lights shining all around us.
