DM'S BETWEEN AL.POTTS AND FREDDIE

ALBUS
hey fred

FRED
hi

ALBUS
first of all, congrats on your relationship. you and xander deserve each other.

FRED
thanks

ALBUS
but i just need to talk to you about james.

FRED
i don't want to even think about him.

ALBUS
i know fred, but please just listen to me.

FRED
what.

ALBUS
thank you. james is not doing well. he hasn't come out of his room for more than 5 minutes at a time. he hasn't come to meals in the past week. he hasn't showered, changed, or talked. he really loves you, and this fight is ruining him. the last time he left his room, i could've sworn i saw lines on his wrist. i know you're mad at him, but i'm scared for my brother, fred.

FRED
why doesn't he just talk to alice?

ALBUS
alice?

FRED
they're dating, dumbass

ALBUS
oh shit

ALBUS
but you know full well significant others are very different from best friends.

FRED
yeah...

ALBUS
i know you're mad, and don't want to talk to him, but i'm really really scared fred. you're the only one who can fix this.

FRED
fine.

ALBUS
thank you, fred. this is really big of you.

FRED
yeah whatever

@freddie has unblocked @james-is-sirius

DM'S BETWEEN FREDDIE AND JAMES-IS-SIRIUS

FRED
hi.

JAMES
you unblocked me?

FRED
yes. you have some explaining to do.

JAMES
thank you. and i know.

FRED
why did you do it?

JAMES
i didn't.

FRED
right.

JAMES
but i know who did.

FRED
oh really, who?

JAMES
renee skeeter

FRED
your ex-girlfriend renee skeeter?

JAMES
that very one

FRED
you can't blame everything on her.

JAMES
i know, and i don't. but hear me out. she takes after her mother, and lives for drama.

FRED
that isn't enough proof.

JAMES
i know, and i dismissed it. but then i remembered i gave her my instagram password when we were still dating.

FRED
so you're saying she hacked you.

JAMES
that is exactly what i am saying. but there's more.

FRED
what

JAMES
i looked at the account before it was taken down. it follows one person, renee, and the email attached to the account is skeetergossip@gmail.com

FRED
that is the dumbest email i've ever seen. and she made it so obvious.

JAMES
exactly. so, i changed my password to make sure she doesn't try and hack me again.

FRED
smart

JAMES
and i got an email from Instagram saying that i was changing my password. she was trying to hack me again for more gossip. is that proof enough that i didn't do this?

FRED
yeah i guess

JAMES
does that mean we can be friends again?

FRED
we never stopped being friends, dramatic bitch

JAMES
there's the freddie i know and love.

FRED
haha. but what do we do about renee?

JAMES
i'm gonna confront her.

FRED
wait 13 minutes.

JAMES
why 13 minutes?

FRED
cause i want to see this and my GPS says i'm 13 minutes away from the potter residence.

a/n
we all knew they couldn't stay mad at each other for too long. question of the day: do you have any big summer plans? i'm doing a theatre workshop with some of my best friends.
