Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

"As he was approached by Miss Scamander he noted—with surprise—that the guest list was clearly not as exclusive as he had imagined."

Quote:"Who is he trying to impress with that little stunt? They've got referees with cushioning charms for a reason," he continued, swirling his drink because he was too distracted by the game to actually drink any of it, but still wanted it nearby as a prop.

Bee is tremendous, isn't she?
I will never be over Jemima's diary but this entry about Mason still slays me.

"...Or so I thought, that I must wait until I am allowed to attend the ball next year. But all along there has been the perfect potential husband right under my nose! Mr. Skeeter, of course!

He is of my own class and could not fault me for lacking in charisma, since he has so little of his own. That sounds mean, I know, but there is plenty to like about him too - he is sincere and earnest and utterly knowledgeable, not to mention tall and lean and he must have wonderful arms, the way he can carry the largest plant pots and heft around compost even without magic! Not that the smell of compost is one I expect to find as my personal Amortentia at any point, but as a herbologist, he must know all about flowers and their meanings. Our house could be filled to the brim with flowers, and I would have the loveliest garden as well to sit and have tea and cake in"

the tl;dr is he's awkward af but still fit XD

Quote:Oh dear, oh Merlin, oh God! Cee wished, for a moment, that she wasn't so closely involved with the Chuddley Cannons so Beckett Longbottom could have a chance of stealing her away! She then imagined herself with Mr. Longbottom, sitting in his office, looking at photographs of Quidditch players and discussing Quidditch strategy until the late hours of the night. Then, he would kiss her on the lips and take her home on his broomstick. After a courtship, he would ask for her hand, they would get married and then they would become a Quidditch power couple.

Quote:That would mean she was toying with him, that she was some sort of unnatural fiend of a woman, and that went against everything he knew of her. Obviously that was preposterous!

I am rooting for them, if only because of the post-marriage realizations that are bound to happen :P

Quote:Breaking rules in life, as in the law, was beginning to look like a slippery slope. Evander was not sure, quite honestly, how to proceed from this moment: he had not planned to kiss her today, and thus had not planned the post-kiss state of the universe. Hm.

You should read the whole thread if you haven't but omg I snorted when I read that

Quote:"This may shock you, Pyrites, but I'm not naturally so suspicious. You've given me reason to be," he explained. If he wasn't careful, he might have lines on his forehead before twenty-five. Perhaps he needed to limit his time with the former Gryffindor—schedule it, even.

Quote:This year more than ever, Aristide was even growing into that same solid handsomeness and charm... oh shit. Trystan had suddenly remembered just what he had been up to at the age of sixteen. Hopefully Aristide was not following in all his footsteps.

Quote:Also, he had perhaps listened to - or heard, sometimes he tuned out - enough of Picardy's rambles about Marlowe Forfang to have absorbed the sense that Forfang was entirely mad or otherwise being paid off by Big Werewolf.

Quote:It wasn't lost to Cecily that Mr. Prewett was flirting with her. She rather liked his attentions -- even though she's been around Charming's consciousness since her tender childhood, she was a woman of twenty now, an age when a heterosexual woman enjoyed the flattery of handsome men.

Quote:She spotted Ophelia just as she was getting up from a disappointing tarot reading - apparently her life was going to be quite pleasant and not at all ominous. Of course it wouldn't be good to have bad things happen but she'd been hoping for at some undertones of doom to excite herself over for the next few weeks. Instead she just had reassurances of continued prosperity and good health. How uninspiring!

Aldous knew, even if his brother did not consciously recognize it, why Reuben had thought telling him would be useful: it always had been.
