Regulus: Okay, I have to ask
Regulus: How the hell did you set your fucking dorm on fire?

Prongs: hello stranger
Prongs: first of all, why are you awake at two in the morning
Prongs: and second of all, im glad you asked
Prongs: you see, my mates moony and padfoot were pining for eachother for years
Prongs: and in year seven they drove me mad
Prongs: i couldnt take the pining stares any longer
Prongs: so my mate wormtail and i made a plan, we were gonna put up candles and make a romantic dinner for them
Prongs: and lock them in the room

Stranger: As any sane person would do, of course.

Prongs: shut up and let me finish
Prongs: so the whole plan went wel, wormy and i were waiting outside the door, eavesdropping
Prongs: moony and pads got in a bit of a spat
Prongs: but ended up aggresively making out
Prongs: which caused one of the candles to fall on the bed
Prongs: hence the fire

Stranger: That's certifiably insane
Stranger: Those names are insane
Stranger: Sending that in seperate texts is insane
Stranger: Your friends are insane
Stranger: And that's rich, coming from me actually

Prongs: oh yeah? got any crazy stories, stranger?
Prongs: and you havent answered my question

Stranger: Existential dread.
Stranger: Yes I have stories, no I'm not telling them
Stranger: You're a literal stranger
Stranger: You could be an old man, a teenage girl or a psycho serial killer.

Prongs: if I tell you something about me
Prongs: will you tell me something about you?
Prongs: also, what are you dreading?

Stranger: I'm dreading this whole conversation
Stranger: I regret asking
Stranger: Besides, I have a feeling you will tell me something about you, whether or not I'll tell you something

Prongs: im 22 and i live in london
Prongs: you seem like a smart person, im sure you already knew the latter because of my phone number

Stranger: I'm 21
Stranger: And probably mental for telling you that

Prongs: what could i possibly do with that information

Stranger: With the information you told me, I know you went to a boarding school in London. Which can only be Hogwarts. With that information I could find your information easily if I could be bothered to hack into their school system.

Prongs: are you sure you aren't the serial killer?
Prongs: also, you shouldnt talk about comitting a crime so openly

Stranger: How the fuck did this not scare you off

Prongs: :)
Prongs: i have to sleep now, stranger
Prongs: dont drown in your dread and sorrow
Prongs: ill think up a nickname for you tomorrow

Strangers: Don't.

Prongs: so far ive come up with stalker, creep and star
Prongs: stalker and creep are mean so im going with star

Star: Why star?

Prongs: because you messaged me in the middle of the night
Prongs: and moony is already in use
Prongs: plus i like the stars, theyre pretty

Star: You're kind of mental
Star: Did anyone ever tell you that?

Prongs: only daily
Prongs: what are you doing today, star?

Star: Ignoring you, hopefully

Prongs: and yet you keep replying
Prongs: i intrigue you dont i

Star: No.
Star: I'm bored and have to keep myself distracted so I don't kill myself

Prongs: had seminars the whole morning and my friend took my phone so i wouldnt be distracted
Prongs: hope you didnt kill yourself just yet

Star: I really hoped that would've scared you off.
Star: But alas.

Prongs: are you in college?
Prongs: also, being mean to me doesnt work
Prongs: i love it when people are mean to me

Star: Astronomy.
Star: I don't need to know your kinks.

Prongs: ahw thats fitting! with your name being star and all
Prongs: my best mate studies astrology
Prongs: so kind of the same thing
Prongs: hes named after a star

Star: Never,
Star: And I mean never,
Star: Say that astrology and astronomy are 'kind of the same thing.'
Star: Astrology is bullshit, based on nothing

Prongs: damn, youre touchy about your passion
Prongs: i like that
Prongs: maybe you can tell me about the stars someday
Prongs: do you have a favourite star, perhaps?

Star: Sirius
Message deleted
Star: I don't.
Star: That's utterly stupid
Star: And I'm not talking to you about stars
Star: What do you study then?

Prongs: social work, but focused on kids and young adults
Prongs: ultimately i want to help kids who have it rough at home
Prongs: be a safe space and help them find a solution
Prongs: without having them placed under NSPCC
Prongs: i have a few more years to go, but my best mate and his brother had a rough home situation and i dont want any other kids to go through all of that alone
Prongs: maybe ill be a safe space at a school idk yet

Star: That's actually really noble of you
Star: To dedicate your life to helping others, because you saw your friend struggle

Prongs: so you can be nice

Star: Don't get used to it

Prongs: why did you disappear?

Star: Studies, work, socializing

Prongs: you dont need to socialize, you have me

Star: You know nothing about me

Prongs: not yet
Prongs: ill break you down

Star: I've endured hours of abuse, verbally and physically
Star: Goodluck

Prongs: thats
Prongs: a lot to take in
Prongs: are you okay?

Star: I got out, I'm fine.

Prongs: sure you are
Prongs: im gonna say it, you can ignore it if you want
Prongs: if you want to talk about it to a complete stranger, you can

Star: Thank you, I guess

Prongs: anytime, Star :)
