Warded to Oliver.

So, I think I'll be having a house guest for the next few days. My friend Padma, she needs a place to crash for a bit. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that Dog and I won't necessarily be alone at the cottage.

Also, I have kind of a silly question.

Warded to Hannah.

I know you and Wayne are having lots of fun off in New Zealand, so I'm really really not expecting a reply until you get back, but I wanted to keep you in the loop.

It's probably silly and insane but- I've been kind of thinking. About maybe trying to make a living at this freelance thing. It's crazy, right?

I think my favourite part of not having to be at work most every morning is getting to take a longer run with Dog, now that the weather's getting nice again. I love spring, seeing all the flowers blooming all over.

	Alright, love. Let me know if you need anything! I can't imagine any question of yours being too silly! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I will. We'll probably just sit around and be girly. Paint our nails, eat ice cream and chocolate, take silly quizzes in magazines ... that sort of thing.

This freelance photographer thing I've been doing while I look for a new job, do you think I could actually- well. Do you think I could maybe sort of make a living doing it? It feels silly and crazy to want to try.

	That sounds fun! I think you could, and I think you'd be fantastic at it. I mean-you're really good, Sally- and I know I might seem biased, but you really are. And I know a bunch of people who would be willing to hire you for different projects! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really? Photography's always been something I love doing, but I've only ever done this kind of stuff on the side before. Not to actually make a living with, you know? What if I don't get enough work, doing just this? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Why would that be crazy? Photography is what you love to do, so why not make a job of that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sally \| Hannah perkypics 2011-04-13 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Well, I don't know. I mean, it's always been something I do on the side, supplemental income and all that. Mostly to afford the equipment. I've never really thought about doing it full-time before. What if I can't get enough work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you don't make enough money at it, you can find something else- but you'll never know if you don't try, Sally! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just- if I try this, I don't want to fail at it, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sally-Anne Laurel Perks. Listen to me. Photography is just about your favorite thing in the world, yeah? There's no reason to say no to trying this. You've got talent enough and then some, and you're smart enough to figure out the business part of it, too. And if you fail at it- which you won't, but since you keep bringing it up- then you'll just try something else until you do get it right, because we're Hufflepuffs, and that's what we do.

	What would I do without you, Hannah Michelle Hopkins? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sally \| Hannah palindromical 2011-04-13 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure you'd manage, but let's not try it, yeah? (That name still looks really good.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sally \| Hannah perkypics 2011-04-13 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I have no plans to ever find out. (Does it make you all giddy to see it? Mrs. Hannah Michelle Hopkins.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good! (It really really does. I almost can't wait to be back at St. Mungo's just to see my robes embroidered with Healer H. Hopkins.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's right, rub it in that you don't have to slave away each morning! I have been jogging around Hogwarts a lot, and each time I do something new has cropped up. I never realized how amazing the grounds are during the spring. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	perkypics 2011-04-13 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	If I really wanted to, I could even sleep in! (Okay, I'll stop rubbing it in ...) I always especially loved spring at Hogwarts. Mostly because it meant I could go jogging again. If you haven't already, you should head out by the lake, it gets really pretty out there in April and May. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ellienor 2011-04-13 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	Well then, I need to capitalize on the time I have left, that small window of spring to jog by the lake. I've never really jogged by the lake. ~~I'm afraid the squid will~~ ~~I have no luck near creatures~~ I guess it would be good to map a new route to jog; by this point, my body must be familiar with the path I have been taking this entire time.

	perkypics 2011-04-13 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	You jog the same route every day? You need to mix it up a bit! How are you not bored with the same path all the time? But yes, try going by the lake next time! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ellienor 2011-04-13 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I take the same path every day. I am a creature of habit, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent)
