Iris was finally caught up on how things were, and she was glad about it. She could easily picture her and Selene hanging out together in one of their offices, or the professor common room. Chatting, drinking tea, discussing lesson plans. She smiled excitedly. "Yes, thank you." She said, handing...

Iris nodded slowly as Selene spoke about visiting Yvonne and returning a few of the things her mum had taken. That made sense, but she still didn't entirely understand it until Selene finally mentioned she had started teaching Runes this year. She remembered now that that position had also been...

Iris searched Selene's face for any confusion, but was relieved not to find any. She tried to hug her back, but the boxes made it impossible. She tried to wrap her mind around what she was saying. "Hold on, why are you here, then?" She asked, her mind spinning. "No, let me just put them down so...

Iris adjusted her weight, moving the boxes to the side a bit so she could see Selene a little better. She was happy to see her, despite the confusion, as she considered Selene a friend. They had worked together at the Inner Eye for years, and as she was dating Poppy, they still ran in the same...

Iris felt a mixture of excitement and fear as she walked through the corridors of Hogwarts. She had applied for the professor position when it became available, but she still hadn't truly imagined she would get it. Divination had been her lifelong passion, and having the chance to share this...

Iris brushed away another tear from Rose's cheek, listening closely to her words. She nodded. "We can do that," she said, mentally trying to calculate how soon she could realistically get some time off. She shook her head as Rose offered to clean. "I'll clean up, it'll be done inquickly with a...

Iris' mind was racing as she held Rose, trying tot hink of what she could do to help. But there wasn't anything she could really do, nothing could help this pain. Iris couldn't even really imagine it, if she was honest. The thought of losing Fleur or Lars was bad enough, but the idea of losing...

Iris held her girlfriend tight as she tried to process the news she had just heard, the terrible loss Rose was now suffering. As she started speaking again, Iris had trouble following what she meant. It took her a moment, then she grimaced. She knew Ren's relationship had ended recently, and she...

Iris' heart was pounding and her mind was scrambling as she tried to make sense of Rose's words. Her girlfriend clung to her, and Iris wrapped her arms around her tightly as she strained to hear what she was saying. "Rose- what-" She said, uncomprehending for a moment. But then Rose's words...

Iris came home from her shift at the Inner Eye and immedaitely knew something was off. She wasn't sure what was wrong but she could feel something wasn't right as she looked around the empty house. Iris had learned to trust her gut feeling over the years, even if she didn't have the Sight as she...

Iris wondered if her feelings were a bit irrational, Rose didn't seem to have expected her to feel weird. Her asking about the warning only made Iris feel weirder, was it really so strange she didn't want it dropped on her like this? "I don't know." She said honestly. "I suppose this kind of was...

Iris tried to let herself relax when Rose said it was alright if she didn’t feel ready. But she was sure her girlfriend was disappointed. Iris bit her lip, wondering if she was justified in feeling a little upset. “I’d like to talk about it again in a few years, but maybe with a bit more...

Iris stared at her girlfriend, still not entirely sure this conversation was actually happening. "I- I'm not upset." She said, alhough she felt a bit upset and knew she sounded upset. "I just think this is kind of- kind of weird to just drop on me like that." She said, not taking Rose's hand...

Iris felt his cheeks heat up. This was such an intimate, deep conversation to be having like this. And he didn't get why Rose didn't seem to understand that. "I- we're very young." She said quickly. She stared at her girlfriend incredulously. "You haven't thought about it before now and you...

Iris stared at her girlfriend in disbelief. She wondered if Rose was trying to joke around, but her next suggestions were very earnest and seemed to be genuine. Iris put the card down. She was pretty sure none of these cards could have predicted this conversation. Iris blinked at her a few...
