    Private Thread 
    30th October
    The election had made October a busy month, and it appeared that it would only get busier as December crept closer. So there had been plenty for Jude to be occupied with on that front: currently, he had Scamander's campaign platform - that had been published in the Prophet only a couple of days ago - out in front of him on his table at the Augurey, not yet finished poring over the details of it in an attempt to extrapolate all the possible ramifications and potential directions of Mr. Scamander's policies. He had briefly stopped by the same man's campaign event yesterday, talked to a few people there; but although the donations were for a good cause, he hadn't had the chance to talk to Scamander in person, and actually riding a hippogriff had seemed - well - unnecessary to the cause. He'd liked Care of Magical Creatures well enough for the couple of years he'd taken it, but Jude hadn't ever taken to flying, particularly, so he figured he could live without trying it sitting on a hippogriff.

    The piece of parchment he was poring over wasn't anything to do with Scamander's campaign platform, though. Taking advantage of being alone in the café, he'd turned his attention towards T.'s last letter. Last in more ways than one; her latest reply had seemed very final. The physical letter had dissolved in front of him like all the rest, but this one had been so short he'd scarcely needed to make any mental notes of what she'd said: there had been a thank you, it had been exceedingly polite, but she had seemed to conclude with certainty that there was nothing she could do.

    Still, it warranted a reply. Of some kind. There wasn't much he could argue to change her mind on that, especially when she had kept her identity private (whatever his suspicions); she had told him to begin with that she was in a difficult position, so plainly it had been a bad idea to get as carried away as he had. And he'd known it, and had pushed too far from talk to action, and stupidly mentioned their meetings -

    What was he going to tell Kieran? The only worse dimension to the thought that he hadn't actually been of any use, hadn't really found a way to help her, was that this meant he'd failed in his favour. Kieran had trusted him with this and Jude probably hadn't made the faintest difference, had just let him down. (When had he started caring so much about what Kieran thought?)

    Jude scratched out a word on the parchment and then watched an ink blot form from holding the nib there too long.

    He glanced at the café's doorway.

    The upside of today's date was that Kieran probably wasn't going to walk in the door any time this afternoon. It was the night before the full moon. He was presumably pre-emptively catching up on sleep.

    The downside of knowing the moon's cycle and thus Kieran's activities for the next few nights was that it made Jude incurably restless. He'd made a bad case of grinding his teeth all day; couldn't stop fidgeting with his quill; could barely string out a legible sentence, and probably wouldn't be able to until that darkening cloud of disquiet had moved on for another month. If it moved on, at all - he wasn't sure whether he had any self-control, any more, when it came to thinking about Kieran. Or when it came to the clenched feeling in his chest.

    So it came almost as a relief when the Augurey showed a sign of life at last, with a familiar face wandering through the door, a perfect distraction. Jude's gaze had been slow to reach him, but he recognised which friend it was by their trousers alone. Only Eaton. He fought against the gnawing worry by breaking into a brief smile of welcome as he shifted his spread-out things over more to his side of the table so Eaton would have room to sit down, balling up the unfinished bit of parchment into his fist and sweeping into his pocket to revisit later.

    Honestly, he had meant to change tack entirely, clear his head with a fresh slate of conversation - the elections as usual, or asking how Eaton was, or greeting him, for Merlin's sake. Instead, Eaton had barely sat down and -

    "Do you think I come on too strong?" Jude blurted out, without preamble.

    As October had begun to fade into nothing, and as the weather grew colder, Eaton's already catastrophic clothing choices grew more bizarre and thrown together. A woolen scarf in a dreadful orange color was wrapped tightly about his face, pinstripe pants, a white linen shirt accompanied with a paisley green tie and a wizard robe instead of a jacket. The robe was navy with a spattering of stars across it, and it was second hand, slightly tattered at the bottom, and left open. But he was headed to the Augurey. It was home, or as close to home as it could be.

    He saw Jude with papers across a table and made his way over. He nodded to the bartender in greeting. Hopefully two firewhiskeys would be brought over to the pair of activists. By the time he sat down, the table had been cleared and Jude already started to speak. Eaton hadn't even removed his outerwear before he had to blink several times in a row to bring himself back to the moment. "Uh what," he stammered, trying to sort out his companion's question. "No?" Eaton finally managed, though his tone was apprehensive. "I mean to say, not quite so strong when you're among us, your friends, but maybe to people who do not know you so well." He shrugged. "But I know you so who am I to criticize your character when I support you and your decisions regardless."

    For someone who dressed the way Eaton did, Jude observed, people might expect him to be more brash in character. But all that flamboyance clashed entirely with his shy nature. Maybe it was more a mark of absentmindedness than any desire to stand out. (And that bizarre personal taste, peculiar to Eaton, that explained how all the odd clothes found their way into his wardrobe in the first place.)

    He'd thrown Eaton off, with the question. There you go, you've done it again, he thought with a sigh, squinting at his friend in hope anyway. Even if it was the truth, at least Shelby might be someone to break it nicely.

    He was about to rescind the question entirely to save them both when Eaton scraped together a reply - probably a fair one. Yes, they were all used to him; they indulged him when he went on, when he took things too seriously. (Well. The rest of them might. Kieran didn't.)

    "Mmm, maybe," Jude murmured, lost in contemplation. He'd been doing what he did for a while, had been like - well, just like this - since he was a child, brimming with passions and opinions and anger, but sometimes he did wonder. Would he do better to tone it down? He might get along with a wider group of people, might be better at provoking change if he conceded to other points of view here and there. Then again, if he wanted to do that, it seemed it would require him to compromise on some level, and he didn't know that any of the things he believed in were things he could compromise on.

    His mouth pulled into something of a smile as Eaton expressed his - well - unconditional support. That was nice of him. "Well, thanks," he said, with the relieved hint of a shrug, clutching at the reassurance. "I appreciate that, anyway, I -"

    He was interrupted there by their drinks being set down. Jude hadn't even noticed Eaton signal for them, so he blinked at them in bemusement for a moment, quite losing his train of thought. He lifted his glass to his lips and took a sip, heartier than he'd intended. Merlin, Firewhiskey? Jude tried to contain his cough, made out that he was just clearing his throat. Maybe if he weren't so unreasonably distracted, he admonished himself, he would have actually noticed it wasn't Butterbeer.

    He considered raising his eyebrows at Eaton to convey his surprise at the apparent fact that they were seriously drinking, now... but before he could, the thought occurred to Jude that actually, possibly, drinking wasn't the bad idea it seemed. He'd wanted a distraction, hadn't he? And Firewhiskey, he supposed, would settle his nerves.

    Perfect. He raised his glass to his friend and then took another gulp.

    Eaton had settled in and examined Jude. His face, twisted in deep thought, spoke more volumes than Jude probably had ever said in words to Eaton. Eaton was usually a quieter member of the group but he saw more than he revealed and he knew more goings on than others would like to know. Something was eating at Jude, making him feel conflicted in a way that Eaton couldn't accurately portray if he were to write prose. Good thing he was a poet. Bad thing was he wouldn't write about his friends and his adventures. He morally wouldn't even confess their adventures of activism but the feelings that Jude didn't admit would be wholly appropriate for a verse or three.

    The firewhiskeys arrived and Eaton took his glass. They served less than other less reputable bars like the Hog's Head in Hogsmeade, but Eaton would overlook it, as he always did, as his sipped his. Jude raised his glass in a celebratory fashion, and Eaton returned it. He finished his quickly, and shuddered a little about his shoulders. "Hits the spot," he murmured, mostly to himself. He turned his attention to his friend as he settled into a relaxed pose in his chair, crossing his ankles under the table, hoisting his pant legs up to reveal mismatched socks. One was newer, the other old and tattered. 

    No one had ever made any rude remarks in his presence, but his terrible fashion sense was just in his character. And Eaton probably would never change. He'd be buried in his god awful attire as long as people would let him. "So anyway what?" You didn't finish your sentence."

    He'd been going to attempt an explanation for the odd question he'd posed, had been going to wrestle out the issue some more... But there was so much fighting for attention in his head, so many feelings settled in his stomach already. And Eaton hadn't asked to play agony aunt, and what was more, he was probably too observant a person for Jude to try and keep things from him, and everything was - complicated, right now. And he had an alternative plan now.

    So he didn't try to explain. "Oh, it was nothing," Jude returned instead, newly nonchalant. "I forget." His mouth twisted into a smile to affirm it, and he raised his glass to his lips again, already having to catch up. If Jude ever drank, it was at a cautiously measured pace. But, if the alcohol was going to have any effect of distraction - well, he'd have to do without that caution today. He swallowed the last of his Firewhiskey, and pulled a bit of a face. If Firewhiskey couldn't let him lighten up, Jude thought, then really, what could?

    The thing about Jude was that, once he had made a decision, had chosen a course of action, he was exceedingly committed to it. So, without waiting for the first glass to take effect, he signalled for two more drinks, and changed the subject in the meantime. "Anyway. How are you? How's the poetry?"
