Seeing Crimson or Feeling Pea Green, Charlie?
AngelFyre had finished her letter requesting a meeting with Rita Su to apologize for her part in their misunderstanding during the Unity meeting when it occurred to her that she should do the same with Charlie. She was learning to heed more and more the feelings she got and the overwhelming feeling she got here was that Charlie was absolutely due an apology, but unlike Rita, AngelFyre had the feeling that the last thing Charlie wanted was a meet up for the apology.
Looking over at Simon, who flashed her one of his patient, and yes, devastatingly rakish smiles, she sheepishly asked once again to borrow his self-inking quill. He joked that the first time was free but there would be, sadly, a quill tax on this request. He then playfully retrieved it from the satchel he had just 30 seconds before deposited it into and dangled it before her. His eyes were sparkling with all kinds of mischief... they had been all evening... and it was that very mischief that had caused her to choke in the first place. Miraculously, with all of his dodging, he was spilling not a drop of his dark blue ink as he always managed to maneuver it just out of her reach but ever closer to him.
Oh, he was so clever, that handsome Hufflepuff of hers, but she knew exactly what he was doing and happily played along. She got just close enough to finally wrap her fingers around it just as his free hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into him. No moonlight between them. His nuns and her father would be scandalized. Even after nearly a year, the boy's touch and nearness still gave her butterflies.
"You know, by all rights, if there is any kind of tax to be paid here, YOU should be the one to pay it," she whispered softly as he leaned down ever... so... slowly to meet her lips. "I reckon if what you said is true... that halfbreeds really do make the best friends and lovers... you, it would seem, are destined for a lifetime of second best I am sad to say," she remarked even more softly and teasingly while her eyes moved from his down to his delicious lips. Just before contact was made, her fingers cupped his chin, stopping him. She tracked a slow path back up to his eyes and with a tantalizing smile she finished with, "but you, mo chridhe, (my heart) should be able to take comfort in your consolation prize of being with a partner who will simply not be bested... by anyone, on any scale, at any time... when it comes to loving you." She then moved her hand from his chin and slipped it around his neck, as they closed the distance and lips finally met lips for a gloriously long, but indeterminate span of time.
Now motivated to get back to their Common Room to continue, in greater depth, their most enlightening discussion, AngelFyre hurriedly penned her note to Charlie.
With that done she rolled it up, put it into the little pouch attached to owl's leg and said simply "Charlie Jacobsen," and just like that, the owl was off in an instant.Dear Charlie,
I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am about your outfit. The whole incident was aggravating, I am sure, but the good news is that your lovely ensemble can be saved. If no one has done so for you already, I will be happy to "Scourgify" it to rid it of any trace of the cranberry juice.
If for some odd reason that does not work...but it will... I am more than willing to replace it or compensate you for your loss. Just ask and it shall be yours.
Again, I am so sorry, Charlie. I hope you can see your way clear to forgiving me.

And so, too, as it happened, were a very eager Simon and AngelFyre.

AngelFrye. A second year Badger, who had made me her enemy. Well, it wasn’t really her fault. But at the same time, it was. We had been in the same unity group, which was an event that was planned as an attempt to bring unity to everyone around Hogwarts, which failed in our group. I had already been in a poor mood before we started, but somehow, the positive attitudes and slightly shocking news that she and Simon were dating, worsened that already grumpy mood. But what really pushed it over the top was a juice spilling. On my white pants. Which I never had worn before. After that, I stormed out. Which now, I kind of wished I hadn’t.
It just so happened, that I had received an owl from AngelFrye. She apologized. It actually kind of surprised me. I thought that AF was going to ignore me. I had kind of blown up at her. And if I was her, then I wouldn’t have even looked at me ever again.
I knew I needed to say something back, but I had no idea what to say. I grabbed some parchment, and a quill and sat down.WC: 281Dear AngelFrye,
You shouldn’t be sorry. Well you should. But I also should be sorry. I was in a bad mood already and I guess the juice on my pants just pushed me over the top.
As for the pants, you don’t need to help me clean them. It was my first time wearing them, and I hate wearing nice pants like them. Even if they hadn’t been stained I wouldn’t have worn them again.
And yes. I forgive you. I think.

Dear Charlie,
I have read and reread your owl a number of times and I am very glad to know that you forgive me... you think. At the risk of further irritating you, which I assure you is most definitely not my intent, I feel compelled to let you know your, "I think," made me laugh. Now, to be 100%, crystalline clear, I was not laughing at you, but at the situation.
Would it be overstepping for me to ask why there is a hesitation on your part to do so? You seem to hold no particular fondness for the stained white pants, so I find it hard to believe the hesitation comes from that corner. To my way of thinking, that leaves only me in this picture, and I cannot think what I might have done to have annoyed you so.
I will respect your wishes if you desire no further contact from me, but if I did some silly or inconsiderate thing that I am completely unaware of, I would consider it a most helpful endeavor, indeed, were you to share just exactly what I did to upset you so. I realize some people just do not like certain other people, and if that is the case here, I understand and hold nothing against you for it.
If, however, you do care to share with me, I am just an owl away.
Hoping to hear back from you,
-AngelFyre

AngelFrye wrote back to me. My first thought that I had when I read her letter was what the actual-… I knew that I had to respond, especially because she said hoping you respond, but I didn’t really know what to say. I couldn’t just say I like you boyfriend, because that was… wrong. And also I didn’t really like him anymore. Just as a friend. After what felt like a thousand drafts, I finally came out with a letter that I could actually send.@AngelFrye McCubbinDear AngelFrye,
I don’t really know why I said that I think. Maybe because I could take it back like right away. Again, I don’t know why I would take it back. I yelled at you. And it was wrong. I’m sorry.
No. I’ve actually been planning to tie dye the pants when I get home for Easter break. I’ll borrow my friend's supplies, and probably make it blue and purple, with extra purple on the front.
I know it was a mere accident, but the pants will not forgive you!
Laughing,
Charlie
