[Virgil] on February 21, 2018, 01:36:13 PM To - Virgil Carstairs, 107B Diagon AlleyFrom - Abby Reid, Flat 5E Hiraeth Gardens, LondonVirgil!How was your rehearsal? Did you fall asleep standing up? Your croissants were DELICIOUS btw!Don't worry. I'm not owling you because of trouble. I'm owling you because I had to find out from Raine that you're a super seer! Super secret spy seer? Unless you told me and I forgot! Possible due to gillyweed plus alcohol. Which means if you know Flower Girl, you saw my dream, right? With the owls/fire/stars/dragon? I'm not going mad? I'm just secretly super smart!Right?~Abby! Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #1 on February 21, 2018, 02:00:52 PM A response arrives late at night, the parchment smells of vanilla and tobacco.To: A. Reid. 5E Hiraeth Gardens. LondonFrom: V. Carstairs. 107B Diagon Alley.Unicorn Girl,I was flung around by a giant Faerie King all afternoon, so... rehearsal was quite nice. No naps taken onstage but I am just about to fall into my warm and welcoming bed. I hope you and Schlawkward ate croissants and made horse eyes at each other all morning?Sadly, I am only a regular Seer. Did you think I was trying to chat you up when I said I saw you in a vision? I wrote to your sister about it. If you promise to burn the next letter I send, then I will tell you about your dream and if you're going mad. But yes. You're super smart. Even smarter than Sasha. Everyone knows that. Yours,Lost Boy Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #2 on February 21, 2018, 02:48:03 PM Lost Boy,Flung around by a Fairie King? Oh my! Well if that's what you're into, I won't judge. I'll only giggle. Lots.Schlawkward (that's Cap'n Schlawkward to you) and I did indeed steal most of the croissants annnnnd....He has the most lovely eyes!(Burn this. I'm getting soppy).You're a sweetheart! <3 Yes, I'll burn your next letter, though only partially if you keep offering me compliments.I assumed you were chatting me up because that's what you doooo. So the vision line was real?More seriously, when did you write to Aileen? Did she reply?SheShe's beenIf she didn't, I'm sorry . I'll explain more later.~Abby!P.S. Get some sleep! Talk more in the morning. Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #3 on February 22, 2018, 11:18:12 AM 22nd August, lunch time.Abby,The vision was true as far as I can tell. I wrote to your sister on the night of the 29th, and received a thank you note on the 3rd of August. She seemed civil in the same way she was at Hogwarts. Is everything alright? For your eyes only: I did see your dream. I was inside of it. Stopped those owls and saw the stars and took you away. I am what some people call a naturally gifted Legilimens. Please don't tell anyone. It's supposed to be rare and I don't like the idea of people knowing. Sometimes I dream walk, which is how I found your dream. I don't usually stay but you were having a bad one. Your Flower Girl is odd. She isn't really you, is she? You must tell me if she does anything that makes you uncomfortable. I chat everyone up, even Sasha, I don't think I can help myself. That is, everyone except for this one wizard who I can't, I just sort of stop working around him. P.S. I burnt your soppy letter so don't forget to burn this one. V. Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #4 on February 22, 2018, 10:48:05 PM Late afternoon, August 22nd.Virgil,Oh wow! That's all sorts of amazing. I won't tell anyone about your 'other gift'. Your letter's in the fire as I write. Even Raine doesn't know - earlier I only said I had a dream about you, which Raine seemed to find amusing, and then as I pestered her she mentioned the Divination club, and I was like is he a seer? And she was like actually yes, and I was like why do you not tell me these delightful details when I ask you for all the details before I meet people?I have so many questions! I'll save them for later.Thank you for stopping the owls and helping me, by the way. I suspect that you are a secret softie. I won't tell anyone that, either. Unless you'd like me to suggest it to that bloke you're mooning over . The slumber party is a bit of a blur, did you mention his name? I'm here to listen, and/or matchmake! You keep chatting up the universe and all the stars in it. I'll continue to be nosy. Unfortunately..You've read about the "mist" in the papers, right? Yeah. Super fun.Aileen tried to rescue me on the third, and ran into "the mist" instead. It really messed with her head.Please don't tell anyone - only family and Level Two knows."Flower girl" comes from the mist, too. She's not me, but sometimes her thoughts and filter through. The whole situation is very, very odd. And unsetHere I go, scaring off new friends! ~Abby! Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #5 on February 23, 2018, 12:24:07 PM Evening, August 23rd.Unicorn Girl,Late response, I was up quite late last night. You are most welcome - I am at your service any time you are having a bad bout of nightmares. I'm so sorry about your sister. I expect she must have a Flower Girl of her own. I promise not to meddle. I'm certain level two is doing their best. Does your sister like any chocolates or pastries? Does she prefer savoury snacks?I'm mooning over a man named Cepheus. Cepheus, like the constellation that houses some of the largest known stars. And the largest known black holes. God, burn this letter too won't you please? He's Ariadne's uncle and he's sixteen years older than me and every time I see him it's like I can't feel my bones. And he sent me flowers on opening night[1] for Peter Pan. I kept every single one. You must know what I mean, I think. I will stop now. I'll go on and on otherwise. You haven't scared me yet, Unicorn Girl.V. Carstairs 1.

Raine keeps asking me if I'm cold and pointing to the abundant number of blankets littering the living room. It's only August, she says. Not for long, I say.September. is. coming! Oops, I'm making nerdy references. You can blame Schlawkward. His geekery is contagious. And adorable.I don't mind if you go on and on. What is "C" like, besides romantic (oo flowers!) and no doubt lovely because he's related to Ari? (I intend to adopt your flatmates, even Mr. too-cool-for-trousers, just so you know) What draws you to him, besides an intense gravitational force from which there is no escape? (Omg the geekery) Or you can tell me when I next see you, just so all of your letters don't end up in flames!Most important question: are flowers your favorite gift for opening nights?Thank you for the sympathy. Aileen is partial to chocolate, but she ruins the chocolate with cashews and almonds and whatever she thinks is healthy. ~Abby! Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #7 on February 25, 2018, 08:15:07 AM Lunchtime, August 25th. A letter and small parcel arrives - wrapped in crisp baking paper. It contains five dark chocolate fudge brownies, sprinkled through with crushed nuts, and one plain brownie with "Unicorn Girl" written in white icing.Abby,I've seen those Winter is Coming billboards all around London. They'll stop making sense in a few months!C is.... kind. He likes cat and books and he knows some Shakespeare. He doesn't think I'm Awful but that might be because I refrain from being too Awful around him. It helps that there haven't been any Moira-like substances in his presence either. I will rant further when I see you next.Adopt away! Ari and Nick are nice and they make brilliant guinea pigs for kitchen adventures.Flowers are my favourite, and appropriate for everything. Lots of flowers have different meanings - you can compose messages with them. Isn't that a beautiful language? I have enclosed a treat for your sister if she will have it. Virgil Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #8 on February 26, 2018, 12:08:24 AM Late in the evening, August 26th, a thank you card arrives. The unicorn drawn on the front looks less like a unicorn and more like a dog, but Abby tried. Plus, sparkles.Lost Boy![1]THANK YOU. Oh em gee. Have you tried cooking for C? Because really.I almost, almost didn't give the brownies to Aileen. It was a close call. It took all my willpower to deliver your gift today. She tried one, set it down all ladylike. I walked away for like two minutes and I came back and two more brownies were missing. I about died laughing.You are not_....You're not-......Sorry! Blasted quill.Hey! You are Not Awful. Ask Nick and Ari, they live with you - actually, ask Ari, because Nick will only tease you. The people who live with you know best.Ask Raine! She'll tell you that I'm a constant source of delight and mischief. Check out the glitter monstrosity I just bought for our bathroom.[2]Hur hur! Cleaning IS fun.So what's going on with you and Moira? I know she hexed you, but I don't know why.Guess what. I have a job interview with Solomon Carstairs on the 31st. I'm guessing you two are related? Any tips?~Unicorn Girl! 1. Abby's doodled stars around his name 2. Abby has included a clipping of the monstrosity Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer! [Virgil] Reply #9 on February 26, 2018, 02:37:58 PM Morning, 27th August.Unicorn Girl,Thank you for your very... thoughtful card. It occupies a place of honour in our flat. I haven't cooked for C. Is the quickest way to a man's heart through his stomach? That's food for thought. I'm pleased your sister liked the brownies. Chocolate is the tastiest magic there is. Perhaps I am not utterly Awful but believe me when I tell you that I can be very Awful when I'm not careful about it. But never to you of course. Unicorn Girls are spared. Moira isn't. She only hexed me because I am capable of calling her dull in a myriad of interesting ways. Solomon is a distant cousin to my mother. He is something of an arse but Angela (that's my mum) says he is on the side of the angels. When we were recovered after the kidnapping in February, he did try to persuade me into convincing the others not to release harsh statements about level two[1]. I think he is careful about the department's public image. He made it up to me by giving me a trunk with an Undetectable Extension Charm for graduation, however, so I have been appropriately bribed.Does that help? Will you let me know if you get the job?P.S. That toilet brush is truly atrocious. Think of the poor unicorns, Abby! Virgil 1. Preferential, Deferential - 14th February Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer!

Until Roxy jumps on the wall. You should definitely try cooking for C. I hope that's not the only way to a man's heart (considering my lack of skills in the kitchen) but you've got the skillz, so use them! 😉If you'd like to see the other unicorn themed thing I bought, you should stop by my desk. At the Ministry. On Level Two. In the waiting area next to Solomon Carstair's office. That desk. My desk! I have my own desk.I can't resist, so I'm sending you a clipping of it.(BRB = be right back)I got the PA job!!! I start Monday.Thanks for your tip. I tried to be extra diplomatic. I'll tell you about it when I next see you, which will be soon!Buahahahaha.~Unicorn Girl Skip to next post Re: [August 21] Not so secret seer!

I'm sure even he will find your unicorn ways to be nothing but charming and a great addition to the long faces of level two.What's this about seeing you soon? You can expect me to visit promptly next week. I will bring congratulatory baked goods - make a request and it will be my pleasure. Yours,V Skip to next post
