Tweak says, "hoagies and grinders"

Been looking at houses the past couple of months and trying to imagine what the garden will look like when covered in bits of leaves and winter frost has been surprisingly more difficult than I thought. Hard to imagine anything not dead and grey at the moment.

Also, anyone know of a good place to get a dog? I'm thinking a golden retriever, or a nice Lab. Or any dog ~~not a small on~~... But it has to be friendly with my bunny.

[Warded to Helen]
Hey, the offer for that fighting lesson still available?

	I can do late afternoon or Monday. My schedule is pretty flexible, it just depends how tired you'll be after house hunting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Think you just found your own reason for why this is harder. Usually, having others do things for you is generally an issue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Helen _oliverwood 2018-01-15 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Definitely. Trying to do things right, you know? Can't just throw money at everything and expect it to turn out alright, especially with a baby. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Your imagination is linked to the quidditch tactics board I am sure of it ;) Do you need help house hunting? I have a few days off coming up. Also there is a farm not too far from mine that I am sure has a sign up about puppies, I would have to check on the breed though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_oliverwood 2018-01-13 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	I do want high walls in the garden so I can fly about a bit. Just basic hovering and the like. We've been really looking around Dorset, though, lots of land! I wouldn't mind a Moor but it's too far from Puddlemere. I'm sure Katie wouldn't say no to a bit of company. We can maybe look at puppies after. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That sounds doable. I will have a scout around and send Katie an owl to see if there is anything specific she wants too. Oh and I'm sure the real reason you want walls you can hover behind is so that when Little Wood is old enough you can teach him to fly just like this daddy.

I will check what breed they are, or at least ask Oscar if he knows.

[Warded to Oliver]
How is everything else? Of course you know I mean you and Katie.

	_oliverwood 2018-01-13 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! And you know our boy will fly before he can walk. [Warded to Alicia] Great really! House hunting is stressful but other than that things are going well... I was a bit unsure of all this at first but now I can't imagine anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have no doubt of that! He will be amazing on a broom, I am sure.

Warded to Oliver
Good! House hunting is hard work, why do you think I still live with my brother? I'm so glad, you deserve to be happy Olls. You know I am only an owl away if you need anything, well that or you are keyed into my wards just come over. I will send you both by latest work schedule soon, I have more time now the training is finally finished.

	Nope, maybe just a beater instead of a keeper. Is Baby Wood beating up his Mummies organs at the moment? Are you up for me helping to house hunt later this week? I have a few days off since my training is officially finished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He’s doing something! More often than not it’s during the middle of the night too.

[Warded to Alicia]

Yes! Oh hell, yes.

You wouldn’t think it but shopping with a near limitless budget is exhausting. That and I’ve been more than happy with everything we’ve looked at so far. I’m going from sharing a box room with Angie to looking at houses with acres of land and spare bedrooms and yeah... I’m not sure I’m much use to the guy who’s used to having whatever he likes.

Try a warming charm to you lower back before you go to sleep, may help settle him.

[Warded to Katie]
Yay shopping trip! Do you think Olls can handle us both shopping - even if it is for a house?

I bet it is, Oliver is very particular, he always has been, remember those quidditch plays he made us do! You just need to remember that you will be living there too, maybe try sitting down of writing a list of what you do and don't want, get Olls to do one too. That way we can look for common ground between them?

~~Oh hell, Ali, I’m already sweating my bits off at night as it is!~~

[Alicia]

He’ll be fine.

In fact, he’ll probably be glad to have your input. I’m not sure we need lists though. When I said I was happy with everything so far I meant it. I just want a home, somewhere nice. All the stuff that Wood wants is just the icing on the cake for me. Plus, it’s his money...

	~~As much as I love you, that is more than I needed to know~~ Warded to Katie Fair enough, I will see what I can find in the week, try and narrow it down a bit for you. Need to get you all settled in time for Little Baby Wood's arrival! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, okay. Well, I think that leaves about 99% of the country left as a potential place to live. The rate we're going that means we'll be moved in somewhere about the time Mason turns eighteen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Love, they're all ideal. I went from sleeping on a floor for months on end, to living with Angie in a one bedroomed flat above a newsagent. Anything we pick is going to be beyond anything I ever thought I'd get to live in. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	thebestweasley 2018-01-14 12:39 am UTC (link)
	Definitely try a shelter, mate. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_oliverwood 2018-01-15 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? You think they're good dogs there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebestweasley 2018-01-15 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Of course. Just because they're in a shelter doesn't mean there's something wrong with them. Most are there because of overpopulation or bad owners. And they're the most loyal, loving animals because you'd be saving them from a tight spot, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_oliverwood 2018-01-15 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Yeah that's a good point, mate, most people don't deserve animals. What's a good family breed? We want the pup to be around when Mason is born. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebestweasley 2018-01-15 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Labs are good, and there's usually a lot of them. Poodles too, and really intelligent. Beagles. Retrievers. Newfoundlands. Mason, eh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_oliverwood 2018-01-15 02:43 am UTC (link)
	~~poodles a~~ Want it to be high energy too. Something going to be able to keep up with me. Can't exactly take the bunny for a run. [Warded to Charlie] Yeah. Had this name picked out since I was ten. Well, I wanted Hollis Mason but we compromised. Hollis is a bit dated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebestweasley 2018-01-15 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Real poodles, mate. Not toy poodles. Completely different breed. And all the above mentioned are pretty high energy, especially labs, retrievers and beagles. [Oliver] That's a long time to have a name, Ollie. I... never had one. Guess my input wasn't needed though. Speaking of which, I should probably let you know, I found out I have a daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_oliverwood 2018-01-15 02:51 am UTC (link)
	I guess I always thought of poodles as those prissy French things; heard they have a temper. As for Beagles I thought they're a bit lazy? [warded to Charlie] Yeah mate always knew I wanted to be Wait Mate You have a daughter?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

2018-01-15 02:54 am UTC (link)

Real poodles are the most intelligent of all the dog breeds, and the most protective and family friendly. Beagles really aren't lazy at all, it's people who make them lazy. And honestly, are you going to trust what you've heard, or your mate who has worked with animals his entire life?

[Oliver]
Yeah.

Yeah, I do. I found out last Sunday. She's about three and a half.

	_oliverwood 2018-01-15 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Good point. You should come with us to the shelter. [warded to Charlie] How?! I mean I know how But you know what I mean... Congrats though! What's her name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I mean, I don't want to intrude. But if you want.

[Oliver]
I had an on again off again thing with Louise Parkinson.. Morgana Duke, whatever you feel like referring to her as.

When I got hurt in Romania, she came to see me. We you know, like always. And then she disappeared.

Until I saw her last Sunday with my daughter.

Her name's Kaida.

It just doesn't feel like a congrats moment. I didn't even know my child existed for over three years.

	You are never an intruder. Seriously. [Warded to Charlie] Louise, hmm? Merlin. Well, you know now.. And you're going to be a great father; You're a Weasley afterall. But really, you're going to be alright. Did she come to you or did you stumble upon them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thebestweasley 2018-01-15 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Well, just let me know then. [Oliver] It's not really all that bothering me, mate. I stumbled upon them, which makes me wonder, if I hadn't, would she ever have told me? Would I have known my own daughter? And more than that, I lost so much time... What did I do to make her not tell me, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charlie _oliverwood 2018-01-15 03:32 am UTC (link)
	You did nothing wrong. Honestly, it's all on her, anyone who knows you knows you'd be a terrific father. I know you lost time, but she's here now. That's the important thing. Can't dwell on something you can't change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oliver thebestweasley 2018-01-15 03:35 am UTC (link)
	I want to believe you, but that's a lot easier to say when you're looking at it from the outside, and not experiencing how it feels first hand. I can be positive about a lot of things in life but... not this, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charlie _oliverwood 2018-01-15 03:42 am UTC (link)
