Dear Auror Jones,
I am not certain who this is addressed to, as I am only one of several potential candidates. As of right now, I am only a department head.
Sincerely,
Dominic O. Abbott
Head of Department of Magical Cooperation
Dear Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Candidate I Am Voting For, Thereby The Future Minister As I Don't Vote For Losers,
You.
Sincerely,
Auror Jones
Dear Voter who will be in charge of teaching classes in confidence should I make minister,
My official minister stance, in that case, is that you haven't made a mess of anything.
Sincerely,
D. Abbott
Loser choice for future minister
Dear WINNING Choice For Future Minister Who Is More Than Confident Enough,
I did, I really did, I said things I shouldn't have, again.
Sincerely,
Auror Jones
Dear Auror Jones, who is far too hard on herself,
Once again it was the truth, and you had every right to say it.
Sincerely,
D. Abbott
Future Rubbish Bin Emptier
Dear Future Minister Who Has Strange Hobbies,
It wasn't the truth, it was just me going on and on about myself, again.
Sincerely,
Auror Jones
Voter With Poor Social Skills
Dear voter who's always seemed quite sociable to me,
One is allowed to speak from their own heart about themself from time to time.
Sincerely,
D. Abbott
Future unemployed drain on society
Dear Future Minister Who Is Too Valuable To Become Unemployed,
Not when that person is me, since I'm incapable of saying things the right way.
Sincerely,
H. Jones
Auror With No Tact
Dear Auror with far too much faith,
I think you said what you felt was necessary, and that's the important thing. I want honest opinions, minister or no, not sugar coated ones.
Sincerely,
D. Abbott
Department Head with no sense
Dear Future Minister With Too Many Good Manners,
No, I said what came first to my fingers, which is always a stupid move, especially as looking back over it, it came out wrong. Or ended up wrong. Or SOMETHING. The point being that I wouldn't still say it now like I did two days ago.
Sincerely,
H. Jones
Auror With An Interpersonal Dysfunction
Dear Auror who is once again too hard on herself,
How would you say it now? Don't the aurors teach you to go on your instincts and that sometimes first impressions can be the truth?
merlin this is hard. Why can't I just come out and ASK what's going on here?
Sincerely,
D. Abbott
Possible Future Minister Who Has, Regretably, Only Average Manners
Dear Future Minister Who Has Better Manners Than Every Man I've Dated,
Yes, but that's with bringing a case to a close, they don't teach any of this in training.
I suppose I'd say it sort of like I did, because the guilt was the truth, but I wouldn't make it such a big issue as I did and I wouldn't cut the conversation off so abruptly because I was wrong to do it it, I was just... afraid I'd be struck down by some angry religious figure or I'd summon a Grim or somehow, even though I know I can't, I'd hurt her.
Sincerely,
Hestia Jones
Auror With No Training In Personal Relationships
Dear Auror Who Favors Dating Mannerless Beasts,
I know that you would never hurt her. She--
You don't have to worry about some religious figure striking you down, or anything like that. No matter if your decision stands or not, nothing that you could consider doing ro not doing in this situation would be wrong.
Sincerely,
Dominic
Man with No Training in Things Non-Ministry Related
Dear Future Minister Who's Pretty Much Right About 75% of Those Men,
What decision?
Sincerely,
Hestia
Woman Who Has No Successful Serious Relationships
Dear Auror Who... Hestia,
The one that you couldn't live with yourself if you even considered what we were speaking of the other night for fear of upsetting Hannah or Teaghan.
Sincerely,
Dominic
Man Who's had Only One Serious Relationship
Dominic,
That's not what I said! I'm looking right at it, I said I couldn't talk about it then, which was true, because it felt disrespectful and wrong to be talking about it on the day she... and I said I couldn't hurt Teaghan's memory or hurt Hannah, but that wasn't in considering it, that was in doing something that hurt the past and everyone's memories irrevocably.
Sincerely,
Hestia, Who Is Still Down One Less Relationship Than The Man On The Other End Of This Exchange
Hestia,
I apologize for the misunderstanding. It was wrong of me to be speaking of such things on that day, I just....I don't know what I was thinking actually.
What would you say now, if you had it to say again?
Sincerely,
Dominic, Who Is Still Incompetant Despite His Slight Advantage
Dominic,
It wasn't wrong of you, it was wrong of me.
That I'm not sure, that there's a lot to consider, that I'm no good at relationships and don't want to lose you and Hannah when I screw it up, that I want to try but I'm afraid, that I don't want to be looked on as trying to replace Teaghan, that I don't want to feel like I'm stealing my best friend's husband... That I still don't know what the right answer is, even now.
Sincerely,
Hestia, Who Would Still Be Incompetent With An Huge Advantage
Hestia,
You and Teaghan are entirely different. You could no more replace her than she could replace you. We BOTH lost her, and as much as we both hate it, I can't bring her back. I know you wouldn't be trying to replace her, and she would never think you were "stealing" me, and Hannah....Hannah will need time to get used to it. When she does, though, I'm sure things will be alright, she already gave me her approval to consider dating again, as I wouldnt' dream of considering such a move without asking her first.
If things didn't work out (no matter who "screwed it up" Hannah and I will still be here to you as friend...family really.
But it's still up to you, to decide as best as you know how.
Sincerely,
Dominic, who cannot explain himself
Dominic, Who Takes On Too Much Responsibility,
No one is expecting you to be able to bring her back, let alone asking it. I just can't shake the feeling right now that this is some kind of betrayal to her and you and Hannah. I can't stop thinking or feeling what I do, but I also can't stop thinking about what Teaghan would think, which is stupid because if she COULD think anything about it, she'd be here and that would pretty much negate all of this.
You can say that, but can you know it? Look how awkward my drunken spectacle made everything...
I know, I just...
Sincerely,
Hestia, Who Just Wants To Say Yes But Doesn't Know If There's a Yes/No Question Even In Play
Hestia, who is more confusing than she gives herself credit for,
What about this yes or no question:
What if we take it slowly, ease into things without titles or reservations or expectations...just take things as they come and try to minimize guilt on both sides. We'd all have a chance to get used to things as thye come along, and we'd all be able to find otu if this is something we want.
Does that sound like a good idea, yes or no?
Dominic, who is wincing at going out on a limb
Dominic, Who Is Fantastic For Doing That,
Yes.
- Hestia, Who Is Scared Witless About Royally Screwing This Up
Hestia, who won't screw anything up, let alone this,
Good. It's all going to be alright, you know.
Dominic, who is a little scared but mostly elated about this.
Dominic, Who Is Very Odd To Be Elated About This When It Involves A Relationship Trainwreck Like Hestia J. Jones,
So you keep saying, but I'm not yet past the "OHMERLINWHATIFIRUINTHIS" mantra of terror to see the all right part.
Hestia, Who Is Feeling The Need For A Drink
Hestia, who deserves ten drinks on me,
Have a few if you'd like, but don't go anywhere but home or to see me. I don't want you showing up at some stranger's house naked
Are we speaking of the Hestia J. Jones? Hestia Jessamyn Jones? Because the Jones I know is no trainwreck.
Dominic, who's far closer to trainwreck status than Jones
Dominic, Who Should Really Rethink Encouraging Me To Have Ten Of Anything Alcoholic Without Supervision,
The very same and yes, she really is a complete trainwreck.
Hestia, Who Doesn't Believe Dominic O. Abbott, Head Of The Department Of International Magical Cooperation And Future Minister, Is A Trainwreck
Hestia, who should probably limit it to five or fewer.
I believe we are thinking of different people then.
Dominic, Who is most assuredly in trainwreck status.
Dominic, Who Has No PRoof Of That Status,
I just think you're confused.
Hestia, Who Should Still Have Supervision In Alcoholic And Relationship Adventures
Hestia, who should learn the Minister needs no proof,
I think you're in denial.
Dominic, Future dictator
Dominic, Who Seems Like He's Going To Like Being In Power,
I think... wait, what are we talking about again?
Hestia, Who Needs A Flow Chart For Journal Exchanges, Let Alone Personal Ones
Hestia, who seems quite capable to me,
It's not important...oh wait, yes it was. Dinner. You had just agreed to have dinner with me Friday. Need some coffee to keep up?
Dominic, who does love his power after all.
Dominic, Who I'm Wondering If I Should Be Worried About,
I did? Well, if I did, I did. What time? And yes, coffee needs to be involved at all times in all ways in my life.
Hestia, Who Is Making A Fresh Batch Right Now
Hestia, who has no reason to be worried,
You did indeed. I promise I'll brew a fresh pot for you before you arrive, extra strong.
Dominic, who is goign to propose legislation to make the aurors have a strict no drug, including caffeine, policy
Dominic, Who Is In Danger Of Losing A Vote In His Favour,
Good. Now time, Dominic, what time did I agree to for this dinner?
Hestia, Who Doesn't Suffer That Kind Of Beverage Blasphemy Lightly
Hestia, who will be pleased to learn that I will exempt her from such legislation,
You didn't get that far, but because you decided to drop in on me and my dinner, I will make a decision on the time. Around 6?
Dominic, who would never dream of making blasphemy against HESTIA's coffee, as she's a little possessive of ti.
Dominic, Who Is a Very Wise, Though Happily Partial, Future Minister,
Sounds good for me, considering I obviously have no manners and might show up early or late without being told a time and that just wouldn't do.
Hestia, Who Only Gives The Coffee The Devotion It Deserves
Hestia, who gives coffee more devotion than some give to the gods,
Late might not be good, as I hate to eat alone, but early wouldn't be bad at all. See, you have more manners than you knew.
Dominic, who is most assuredly impartial in his partialness.
Dominic, Who Must Be Because He Says He Is,
Well, maybe I'll be there early, to make sure I appear as rude as I am.
Hestia, Who Knows You Underestimate The True Power Of Coffe
Hestia, whose bad manners might become a virtue,
I think this sounds like a good idea.
Dominic, who will never understand the importance you place on coffee
Dominic, Who Is So Optimistic,
I'll see you then. Or at work before that, most likely.
Hestia, Who May Find A Way For You To Understand Someday
Hestia, who is so optimistic.
I look forward to it.
Dominic, Future Minister of Coffee drinkers and non coffee drinkers alike
