You and Alastor were definitely friends. You would hand out at each other's houses, even staying for weeks. You were both weird in your own way, and you both liked that.

One day, you and your friend group (not including Alastor) made a bet. You all would make a shrine and/or altar and whoever keeps it the longest, wins. Today, you were making yours with tea light candles, regular candles, and gems. The altars and/or shrines weren't particular to anything, but it was fun to do.

Now, Alastor would come to your house uninvited from time to time, and today he did that. You heard your front door open, and footsteps. He knocked on your door, but opened it anyway.

"Oh, darli-"

Alastor was cut off by him looking at you. Then the shrine/altar. Then you. Then back. Then you.
