Leo—

Hey man, what's up? How're things? I don't think I've seen you since that time at the Leaky, which must be remedied.

Cassie's graduated now, yeah? I wonder if any from that year group are going into curse-breaking—if they are, should be a laugh, that year was always dead mental. Hilarious, and some ultra lovely people, but dead mental.

Oh, by the way—any chance you'd know where to find Nutella? I finished Jake's and he's freezing me out until I buy him more, but I have an inconvenient lack of knowledge about the product. Help would be appreciated, seeing as if you don't know, I'm either going to have to ask a Quidditch player with a crazy cat, Cara, or Jake's three and a half year old.

Kieran, mate, good to hear from you!

You totally know where I work, man, come remedy this situation immediately. There's free sweets in it for you...

Oh, man, don't even remind me that Cassie is now out of Hogwarts. I know she has some good plans lined out, but I still worry. At least she still lives at home for now, so I don't have to worry about her living with one of those 'dead mental' friends of her yet. Not that I don't love them, I do, but you know how it is, don't you?

Mate, I work at a chocolate shop. Of course I know my way around sweets in the muggle world, who do you think you're talking to? Sure, I can get you some Nutella. Would you like me to mail it over? Don't let anyone say I'm not a good friend.

Come by Honeydukes sometimes, yeah?

Leo,

Well, for free sweets, I'd do pretty much anything.

That's good, what's she planning on doing? And tell me about it - Karina's friends are terrifying, man.

You're amazing, thanks so much man! I feel really bad about eating the stuff (Jake's kid loves it too, she's only three and I deprived her of her favourite thing). Reckon you could get one of those 5kg tubs? I'd pay for it obviously, however much it is - and for postage costs. If you can't get the 5kg, two of the 750g would be fine. I owe you a drink next time I see you!

Definitely, let me know when you'll be there.

((OOC - Jake's skills as an actual professional forger make him pretty good at faking handwriting...))

[Leo Robins]

I can't blame you. There's a reason I took a job at Honeydukes, after all.

Ah, Cassie says she wants to go into wizarding law, which sounds cool, but I'm worried it might stress her out. Just thinking about it stresses me out. I have faith in her, though. Yeah, man, it's crazy how fast these kids grow up, isn't it?

No worries, I'm always happy to get old friends in touch with chocolates. You should recieve the package with the 5kg soon - I think I managed to grab the last one at the store. You owe me quite a pretty penny for that, my friend. And the drink, as well, I'll definitely need that before Hogwarts starts up again.

Anytime in the afternoon works, really!

Leo—

I am extremely confused right now, and Jake is laughing like the prick he is, so I'm guessing that he's got something to do with all of this.

I would assume because it's a splendid way to live a happy, fatty life. Sounds like a kind of heaven, to be honest. Skye would back me up on this so hard.

Holy fuck. I don't think Karina would ever do that—she was pretty good friends with Cassie, if I remember right; you Gryffindors and all your inter-house friendships—but then again, Karina doesn't actually like learning much, which is fine, really, if she doesn't want to do anything that NEWTs would set her up for. I actually need to catch up with her before the end of the summer, thanks for inadvertently reminding me. As for Cass, I'm sure she'll be fine; I mean, yeah, that year was fucking mental as shit, but fuck it if I've ever met a more determined or close year than that one. Or at least, those crazy Gryffindors were close. The Ravenclaws were a bit of a mess, I think. It's absolutely crazy; Aggy's graduated. This is the girl who used to steal coffee from Cassie in the mornings and call herself the Queen of Eyesex. I can't believe how far they've come.

five kilograms HOLY SHIT Thanks, man. Jake's pretty fat, wanting all that, but only the best for that wanker, I suppose—yeah, next time I see you, I'll pay you back, promise. And yeah, let's go for that drink soon.

Okay, wicked, I'll come over some time this week. I might bring Cara, too; she's helping me buy presents for Chloe—Cassie's going to her party, right?—and I feel like I should pay her back in sweets.

—Kieran

[Leo Robins]

Kieran, did you let Jake hijack one of your letters again?? Come on, man.

Happy, yes, but I resent the 'fatty'. Have you seen me? I can eat all the chocolate in the store and still look like a toothpick, to be honest.

Hey, now, us Gryffindors and our inter-House relationships are the only reason you got your Nutella! I'm sure Karina will be fine, though. Those kids should have a bright future ahead of them -- remember when we were their age? Seems like ages ago. Though, yeah, I won't deny being a bit worried about that group. Who knows what crazy shenanigans they'll get up to in the real world?

I'd wager Jake just wants you to pay for it, actually. Which, yes, we need to catch up, have a drink, go clubbing, the usual? You can buy me a couple rounds to help pay for the Nutella, too. 

Definitely do, I haven't seen Cara in ages! I do believe Cassie was going on about what was she gonna wear to the Nott party, so I'm taking that as a yes. These kids and their parties, I swear.

Dude, it was completely not my idea. He just does it. It's probably my fault, though, for not checking the mail pile after Rupert reorganised the table.

Yes, yes, you're very thin, I apologise for implying that your stomach wobbles a bit. Kidding, though, you are quite skinny.

Yeah, I hope so. I miss her, you know? It's weird, because I've been out for two years, obviously, but I feel like she's grown up quite a bit, and I've missed out on some of it. I should get her to stay in the flat for while; Merlin knows our flat is basically open to everyone's friends and relatives anyway. Godric, yes, we were a bit of a mess; as a year group on a whole, that is. They will be utterly crazy and I'm going to laugh endlessly.

Yeah, which is all good. He's not sulking anymore, so it's sweet. And yeah, that sounds brilliant; you've got yourself a deal, Robins.

All right, I'll be sure to! I'm already laughing at the thought of how many of her friends will be there; it's going to be very mental.

Kieran

[Leo Robins]

I'm pretty sure everything about this Nutella debacle is your fault, mate. 

I refuse to accept this apology on principle. Try again. Do better.

Yeah, man, I know how you feel - a lot's happened to Cassie since I graduated, and I'm sure I only know bits and pieces. Our last two years were pretty wild, so I can only imagine how much shit went down for them since we left. But they'll be fine, and they have our post-graduate wisdom to guide them, you know. Oi, how come I don't get an invite to your flat though?

You and me and some hot new club this weekend, then? Merlin, it's been a while since I got really properly smashed. Should be fun.

I'm sure I'll hear all about it after the party when Cassie comes home with a hangover. Part of me questions even letting her go knowing how wild it's going to it, most likely, but hey, she's an adult. And she can be an adult and take one of our gross homemade hangover cures in the morning.
