alright, we can put them in the hot chocolate then


what do you mean i can't blame them

of course i can blame them

they were your FAMILY and they had ONE JOB

and fine i'll bring a cake EVERY DAY for TEN DAYS


when is your birthday anyway

[imperio]

they didn't ask to take care of me
they're muggles, non magic
really they didn't want anything to do with me
i can't exactly blame that
i ended up making their lives quite difficult

the last day of july
july 31st
what about you?

[inheritedpain]

it doesn't matter what they wanted?? it doesn't suddenly mean you're not related and that they don't have a duty towards you??

all lives are difficult!! and i really doubt you made their lives any worse than the miserable shit they apparently wanted to get themselves into otherwise




ugh sorry it just

makes me mad
sorry


summer is nice, though

mine's a way's off still.
november 21

[imperio]

don't be sorry
honestly, i really shouldn't defend them
they were downright nasty to me
i might be slightly traumatized
i still feel a little bad, though

really?
my godfather, sirius black
his birthday was the 3rd of november
the fall is the best

( he associates it with going back to hogwarts, so — it really is the best time of year. )

how do you usually celebrate birthdays, back at your home?

[inheritedpain]

no, you really shouldn’t!

and if they were here i would give them a piece of my mind!!
family is the most important thing that we have and they disrespected not only you but your parents and your ancestors when they treated you the way they did
it disgusts me
whatever you can just be part of my family now
if you’re ever in trouble you just go to one of them and say “i’m jin ling’s and i need help” and they’ll help you
or i’ll break their legs


he was the actually good one that someone framed up as the bad guy to you right
he’s basically your uncle wei
who also has a birthday in November
same with jiujiu

huh




do you actually want to know that because i can picture the way your nose is going to crinkle from here

( he plans to say something along the lines of aunt petunia was jealous of my mother, i think, but he stops short. honestly, what is he fighting here? someone who actually believes harry deserves better? there have been several people over time who have stood up for harry, and they've almost always paid a most unattractive price for it. but —

family, it's such a tasty word on his tongue. sirius spoke of family, and he died. the weasley house burned down. even the dursleys had to move once it became too dangerous for them to stay in their family home.

jin ling mentions family, and it's so tempting — a warm vice, a word that means a place, that means belonging, that means people crying at your funeral and holding your hand while you die.

well. it doesn't matter, anyway. but — )

i'm lucky to have met you, a-ling.

2/2

[imperio]

( anyway — )

that's sirius, yeah
who's jiujiu?

i want to know
are there lots of ceremonies?
i'll have to know it all anyway, when the time comes
it's already taking months for me to learn how to bow properly, if i start now i'll master all your rituals by the time november comes around anyway

[inheritedpain]

of course you’re lucky

but i’m lucky too, you know, so don’t get all sappy on me


harry i had a banquet for my one week celebration.

And my month celebration.

This one...

... I guess back home this would be my first birthday as Sect Leader. It’ll be even more elaborate.

but it’s not like we could afford to throw something like that anyway. It’ll probably just be a normal banquet.

[imperio]

one week?

jin ling

[inheritedpain]

i was first born to the heir of the richest sect in the empire

the only reason i didn’t have more that year was because my dad was killed right before my one month one.

so lanling was in mourning and i was the new heir

[imperio]

( he feels guilty about laughing, suddenly )

i see
that's a lot of celebrations







you know, it's kind of weird to picture you as this big important person
i don't mean that to be insulting
you're just
you know
you're jin ling
it's like finding out your friend is a prince or something
we're so similar that our differences are really startling
you know what i mean?

[inheritedpain]

it’s fine

you’re


i mean you’re kind of the first person who’s ever cared about me that didn’t already know who and what i was


i like being just a-ling with you.


but yeah i guess it would be weird to realize later
