[ In the middle of the night, there's suddenly an image send to Luna. Peak Modern Teen Culture: a meme. One Peter thought relevant to one book-loving witch's interests. ]
It's a bit of both, really. :) Mostly from reading outside, though. Sometimes you don't have anything else so a really good leaf does the job quite well.
[ Oh, no. Peter, no. ]
Please don't tell me it's what I'm dreading it is. If you're folding the corners of the pages, I may have to stop talking to you all together.
[ And now she knows his horrible, dirty secret. Merlin help you. Meanwhile she's just sitting with her face in her hands sometimes the page does rip..... ]
Mm, no. This has crossed a line. A very serious book-related line. Your poor books!
Very nice idea: I get you a bookmark and then you never have to 'sometimes rip the page' ever again, yes?
And I doubt very much they're going to make it to the end of the school year if you're going to carry on with this. What were your books like from last year when the summer term ended?
[ Probably a mess, she's guessing. ]
I could make it. Out of something other than paper. No papercuts happening here.
You should... really find and return those. Do you want some help looking for them? I'd know what to look for, after all.
[ She really did choose a trash boy. Oh, well. But— Merlin's beard. If she ever finds out about the scribbles in his school books she's just going to... gently throttle him. Maybe smother him with a pillow. ]
Oh, no. That's quite awful. I wouldn't do that.
But I'd probably charm it to bite at your fingers instead, now that you mention it. Just a little nip. :)
....He's also fairly certain, now that he thinks about it, that the books might have gotten thrown away............. Neither he nor Henry are exactly bibliophiles over here. ]
We uh We could try But you know what my room's like We might not come out of this alive
[ jgpasp;f;flg he absolutely deserves this. ]
😱😱😱 Luna NO That's TERRIFYING Getting chomped by your bookmark.... I have one new fear
[ Look. She loves you, but it's for the greater good. Also... he better not have thrown them out.... ]
Well, it'd be a good opportunity to actually tidy your room. As much as it does have a certain charm to it. I have noticed how you tend to just... shove things under the bed when I come over.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a lovely, tidy room?
[ She's a cruel mistress. ]
I wouldn't do anything to seriously hurt you! It'd just be a nip of your fingertips! That's not so bad! I mean, we've got books that would actually bite your fingers off, back home.
[ Probably serves you right for mistreating your books, Peter. ]
It'd especially be nice for the new year. A good way to start it, really! [ Mmm, it's a bit... lacking. But. An idea. ] We could... maybe do nicer things afterwards?
[ .... maybe this is bribery. ]
Um, no? It was a school book for Third Year.
You just had to stroke the spine to calm them down. Quite simple, really.
[ He's ready to whine a little more about this when......... Oh. ]
Yeah? Or We could skip to the nicer stuff to begin with :)
[ Peter. ]
Oh my god
[ They were a school book?? And you stroked the spines to calm them down?? This makes Paimon's creepy face-petting thing seem.... almost kind of tame in comparison. Almost. ]
And here I was worrying about papercuts I hope this place doesn't send you one of those chomping books I feel like the two of us would become enemies....
So short, single ones during cleaning, and then long ones after we're done.... I like this plan. 😊👌
[ Slightly tired kiss sessions in a nice, clean room?? Sign him up?? Of course, he's a lot less openly shy talking about this in text.... Kissing is still Very New for them and he still gets Very Timid.
Oh my god, a prompt generator. Where did she even get this?? There's a short pause as Peter tries the thing, and.... W E L P. ]
I got 'Peter falls asleep in Luna's lap and Luna has a conversation with someone else while stroking Peter's hair as if they were a sleeping cat.'
Wow that's VERY specific isn't it....
[ Welp. It's not like he's never.... thought about laying his head in Luna's nap before, but now he gets to have a very specific visual prompt on it! ]
[ Peter gets a clean room and kisses, Luna gets to save books and kisses. What's not to like? It's... definitely a lot easier to talk about it over text, in all honesty. The wonders of Muggle technology. There's... definitely going to be a whole lot more shyness involved when it comes to them being in person.
Speaking of shyness: O-oh. Well, that's... something. ]
That's... quite specific yes.
I mean, it... wouldn't be such a bad thing. To do. If it were to ever come up. You do have nice hair. [ It's... nice to play with. Okay, it'd be... really nice if Peter fell asleep in her lap so she could play with his hair. Don't @ her on this, please. ]
Well the first one was some kind of dialogue with swearing which didn't make sense? So I rolled again and got something about getting lost in an IKEA. Whatever that is.
[ He very much supports Luna's genius! Number one fan, over here. ]
Oh no it definitely wouldn't be such a bad thing To do If it ever came up
[ u////////u .....She said he had nice hair...... ]
Your hair's really nice, too I mean, if the situation were reversed, I'd definitely want to play with it
[ He...... hopes that comes across well. It sounds weird now that he's typed it out..... but he means it?? ]
It gave you one with cursing? That's weird.... [ Hopefully it wasn't some weird......... sexual.... thing.... ]
IKEA, l m a o, what the heck It's like a big store where you can buy furniture If we got lost in one, we could sample all the beds, as Sleep Masters :)

I think I'm kind of a few of these? I try to use a book mark when I can, but I have absolutely used scrap bits of paper sometimes, too.
.... And leaves. I've used leaves.
What are you?
no subject
Using a leaf is really cute too
Is it because you read outside a lot or are they like leaves from art projects?
[ Of course Peter finds it cute that Luna sticks leaves in her books sometimes to mark her place. Don't @ him. ]
....Oh
I have to warn you.......
It's pretty bad
It might change the way you see me if I tell you
no subject
It's a bit of both, really. :) Mostly from reading outside, though. Sometimes you don't have anything else so a really good leaf does the job quite well.
[ Oh, no. Peter, no. ]
Please don't tell me it's what I'm dreading it is. If you're folding the corners of the pages, I may have to stop talking to you all together.
no subject
It's MOSTLY leaving the book face down
but I do also dog ear the pages a lot though
I'm so sorry
[ Admitting his sin....... ]
no subject
Peter nO??? Why would you do that? What did the books ever do to you? You're damaging the book!!!
Think!! Of!! The!! Book!! Peter!!
no subject
It's
really convenient
[ ....So he's too lazy to both keep up with and use a bookmark. ]
But it's ok! You can just smooth it back out afterwards!
I mean sometimes the page does rip bc of it but
then you just tape it back together
[ ......He is true neutral evil with a dose of chaotic evil. ]
no subject
Mm, no. This has crossed a line. A very serious book-related line. Your poor books!
Very nice idea: I get you a bookmark and then you never have to 'sometimes rip the page' ever again, yes?
no subject
[ As though that makes it better.... ]
You really don't have to! Besides I heard that bookmarks increase the risk of papercuts
[ He made that up ]
no subject
[ Probably a mess, she's guessing. ]
I could make it. Out of something other than paper. No papercuts happening here.
[ He really did make that up. ]
no subject
I......... actually have no memory of returning the books or what they were like
I actually might still have them somewhere in my room....
[ Yes, Luna. You chose a trash boy who disrespects, tears up, and loses literature.... He also scribbles on the pages. He's a beast. ]
Okay I could maybe actually get behind a custom made bookmark from you
Is it going to be magically imbued to shock me if I dog ear a page?
no subject
[ She really did choose a trash boy. Oh, well. But— Merlin's beard. If she ever finds out about the scribbles in his school books she's just going to... gently throttle him. Maybe smother him with a pillow. ]

That....... is a thing we could do
It is........... a thing
[ Can you feel the enthusiasm leaking through the screen, Luna. ]
Books that bite people's fingers off
Luna that's absolutely horrifying
Were they like illegal to buy?? I hope so

And here I was worrying about papercuts
I hope this place doesn't send you one of those chomping books
I feel like the two of us would become enemies....
no subject
But... maybe I could offer a kiss for every school book you find during cleaning as a little motivation. :)
[ Better hope you didn't throw them all out. ]
Honestly, it's not that bad! I suppose it might sound bad, but it's not.
It's fine, it's a book for magical creatures from home, so I don't really need it in Deerington! :) No making enemies with magical books happening.
no subject
A kiss per book?
I've got to say, that's a really good deal
Give me a little bit to think about it?
[ Peter waits about five literal seconds before Luna will see the "..." as he types. ]
I thought about it!
And decided
I'd like to take you up on this offer
:)
[ Oh, he's so lame, y'all........ ]
no subject
I had a feeling you might agree to it. I'm very fair, you see.
I should also mention that 'one kiss' means just that, not taking a break of several minutes for kissing.
[ As nice as that would be. They have a room to tidy. ]
no subject
What about one kiss that happens to last a really long time?
I'm kidding, I'm kidding [ Is he?? ]
You have a deal, Luna Lovegood
(We could seal the deal with a kiss whenever we do this)
(Kidding again)
no subject
Maybe we could... leave longer ones until after?
[ Look, they will get this bedroom tidied. ]
Oh, I have a thing! A bit like a meem. Hold on.
[ There's a moment of shy, jittery silence before she sends Peter a link. You can thank Ruby for this. ]
Put out names in this and tell me what you get. I want to see if you get something better than what I got. :)
no subject
