Vera
you're sirius black

Ben
why did i even ask

Vera
you should have known this was coming
i'm a true potterhead

Ben
i think aaron will be more than delighted to challenge you on that

Vera
well, tell him to bring it on
i'm not afraid of little james potter

Ben
you sure you were remus' girlfriend?
pretty sure you're more like sirius' girlfriend

Vera
oh, is this your way of flirting with me now?

Ben
it's no secret that we shared that kiss under the mistletoe some three days ago

Vera
that was for the sake of tradition and you know it!!!

Ben
are you getting all flustered now, vera?

Vera
i am not!
bold of you to assume that i am
and even bolder of you to assume that i'm thinking of the kiss we shared

Ben
aye but it was for the sake of tradition, was it not?

Vera
did you just quote me

Ben
didn't know that line belonged to you

Vera
it doesn't but i used it just a minute ago

Ben
okay, fine
let me rephrase my sentence then
"it wasn't my fault that we shared a kiss under the mistletoe when jane was cunning enough to place mistletoes everywhere in the room"

Vera
that's much better
thank you
you're an absolute sweetheart

Ben
did you just call me sweetheart

Vera
i said you're a sweetheart
A SWEETHEART
tsk tsk ben, learn the difference

Ben
but it means the same thing
you calling me a sweetheart basically means you addressed me as "sweetheart"

Vera
stop flirting with me

Ben
will you spend new year's eve with me?

Vera
bold of you to assume that i have absolutely nothing to do on said day

Ben
not assuming
i just happened to know that you, in fact, have nothing to do on said day and it's all thanks to jane 'cause she practically shouted it from the rooftops

Vera
i still can't tell if she's really a gryffindor 'cause she seems to be a bit of a slytherin

Ben
maybe a little bit of both
so, new year's eve?

Vera
yes. a thousand times, yes.
MESSAGE DELETED
you're very persistent, aren't you?

Ben
i can't stop thinking about you, vera
MESSAGE DELETED
you can say that

Vera
hmm, okay
you win
we'll go out on new year's eve ☺

Ben
i'll pick you up from your brand new apartment? 😝

Vera
i love how i can finally say that i have an apartment right here in new york but then i remembered i'm actually sharing it with the girls, who are just absolutely chaotic.
well, jane's back in london for now. at least until next year.

Ben
you know, i've always wanted to share an apartment with my best friends

Vera
you could always share one with andrew, aaron and jamie

Ben
aaron's married
and jamie's living with his soon-to-be-fiancée

Vera
share one with andrew then!

Ben
i would but he's a messy one so, i'm perfectly okay with living on my own for now 😂
plus, andrew's sort of living with his girlfriend as well

Vera
well, i totally get where you're coming from
i would have gotten an apartment of my own but the girls and i have been planning on moving to new york together for about three years now and it just feels right, you know?

Ben
that's really nice, vera
i mean, sharing an apartment with your closest friends/best friend is something that's been on my bucket list for years but ah, i doubt that will be happening anytime soon

Vera
what else is on your bucket list?

Ben
a lot of things
spending new year's eve with a beautiful woman such as yourself
sharing a kiss under the mistletoe with a charismatic woman such as yourself

Vera
what a liar 🙄

Ben
it's the holidays, vera
why would i lie?

Vera
hmm, i still think it's a lie

Ben
which part?

Vera
all of it

Ben
may i convince you otherwise when we meet?

Vera
you can try but i can't guarantee that you'll succeed

Ben
that's okay
so long as you want to spend nye with me as much as i do you

Vera
well, to be honest with you, i do.
and i'm actually really glad we've reconnected after three years, ben.

Ben
so am i, vera. x
