Harry stared at Essie's brothers' comment. He couldn't lie and say he wasn't scared at all. He didn't know the guy but he was pretty set on not liking Harry, he had made that very clear.

Harry's heart started to race when he revived the notification.

Fra_M97 wants to send you a message.

For Essie's sake, he accepted and drew a breath, a very shaky one. He wasn't one to be nervous but this made his hands all clammy and sweat to collect on his brows.

Hello, thespian.
My name is Fra but
you can call me Mr
Mulligan. I see you
have been messaging
my wee sister. And that you
are a friend of my cousin,
Harrison Osterfield. Well,
I have taken this time to
message a peasant (that's you
for your 411) to ask what
you intentions with
my darling, innocent, cute,
pure, sister is?

Harry couldn't help but laugh in confusion and also fear from the message he had received. And also, why did he read it in Haz's voice?

He carefully thought out his reply and began to type it.

Hello, I like Essie.
She is a lovely girl who I
can see myself being great
friends with for the rest of my
life. She is amazing, kind and
funny and I can assure you
that I would not hurt her in
anyway. She's the kind of
friend that I cherish and
haven't been able to make
in a while. She is so down to
earth and doesn't care what
she looks like and how people
perceive her. I like that.
I only want to be the best friend
I can be for her.

It didn't take long for a reply.

I understand. I also
understand that, even though
he is one himself, Harrison
would not befriend a div and
that if there is a possibility
that you would hurt Essie,
that he would hurt you. I
respect that. I simply didn't
like the fact that you came out
of the blue and especially since you
have a large following. I perceived
you to be an egotistical tool. I
apologise for that. I can now see
you in a different light.
I'm sorry for being horrible to you.
I'm very protective over Essie
as you probably can tell.
If you want to be friends
I shan't stop you. But I will
hurt you if you hurt her.
Know and remember that.

I understand Mr Mulligan
I really do. I would be the same
if some random girl started to
talk to my younger brother Paddy.

Ahahahahaha.
I didn't think you'd
actually call me
"Mr Mulligan"! Now I
DO know that you are good
for Essie. You can just
call me Fra.
No, it is not short for
Francis, Francesca or Fraser.
My name is literally Fra.
Now promise me
one thing.

Anything

You'd tell me if something
is wrong with Essie.

I will.

Is she okay? I know she was
crying last night. The tear
stains are visible in her picture.

She was a bit homesick.
She's okay now. I told her
she will get used to it soon.
She didn't want anyone to
know b/c you'd worry.  I promised
I wouldn't say anything but
I wanna stay on your good side.

Thanks mate. Dw I
won't tell her yi said anything
Sorry for being a dick again.
I hope to get to know you
well, you seem okay I guess

Sure thing bud
and thank you?
