Fiction: Break-Up at HP

Living room. Seated on separate couches, Mark works on his laptop while Jamie Facebooks on his.


Jamie: (gasps at screen) Wow, when did Andy and Steph break up?

Mark:
 Last month. Right after he got her into an advance screening of Harry Potter, she told him in the parking lot.

Jamie:
 Severusly?

Mark:
 Jamie, this isn't funny…

Jamie: (interrupts, raising voice)
 Oh, I think it's very funny...

Mark:
 They were together a long time...

Jamie: (interrupts, raising voice)
 ...cause she cheated on him like five times…

Mark:
 They both really tried …

Jamie: (interrupts, raising voice)
 ...twice in his own effing house…

Mark:
 And now it's time that they both just move on.

Jamie:
 ...and now SHE breaks up with HIM?!

(beat, silence)


Mark: Look, just say it.

Jamie:
 What?

Mark:
 I know what you’re gonna say so just say it now and get it over with.

Jamie:
 I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Mark:
 Just. Say. It.

Jamie: (shakes head innocently)


(M starts typing again, long silence)

Jamie: She’s a Horcrux.

Mark: You are such a douchebag.
