avan jogia . cis-male . he/him . wasn’t that perseus stroud walking the palace grounds ? it’s nice to see the spy/assassin from the ottola empire out and about on such a fine day as this. i’ve heard from the court spies that they’re notoriously irreverant, whilst also managing to be quite intrepid. the thirty year old is eager to find out who exactly is behind the killings from what’s being said at court. i heard that they themselves are not vrajiit. it’s funny, whenever i think of them, i think of a winning card game when the stakes are too high, a cluster of old wounds twisting like pale vines across his back, a sharp-toothed grin before he speaks - “is that a knife or are you just happy to see me?”. great to see the crow around, isn’t it ?

EXTRAS

tw death, loss.

- born to a fisherman and wife, percy grew up more familiar with the smell of sea salt than the lavish perfumes associated with nobility. he saw little of the confines of the city, a stranger to cobbled streets, preferring to sit by the docks and listen to the tales his mother would spin. whilst the family were depicted as penurious, they often fed from the fish which did not sell on market stalls. when the fisherman died - presumably from disease - food became scarce and percy's mothered ushered him to the street to beg.

- eventually, the boy was seized by a passing guard he attempted to pickpocket. they held him by the scruff of his collar and heckled every swing of his arms. the spirit of a feral cat, they would howl. taking pity at the sight of protruding bones and a god awful stench, they returned him to the empire and raised him as their own - or rather, they provided a sword and raised him as a weapon. he slept no better, tossing and turning at the thought of his mother. she was a name on their lips, attached by a thread to the city's brothel. a community which grew familiar with housing the impoverished.

- as he aged with the seasons and both swordsmanship and trickery developed, percy was tasked with far more complex duties - all of which came with the promise of coin. thievery, murder, no challenge too great; dangle a coin purse before him like a thread before a feline. whilst he speaks of this job fondly, disclosing stories around the fire with his fellow rogues, they do not utter the nightmares which plague them; where they're captured at knife-point and the lashes to their backs form scars.

- his latest mission is what excites him most - for none are ever foretold to last quite as long - but a spy for the ottola empire is one which could span years. their curiosity is piqued by what exists within walochnia, tales of vrajit lurking behind these walls, coin so plentiful he'll never feel the ache of hunger again. for now, he pretends to be but a mere merchant - a fisherman by trade, of course. though he can be typically found in the far corners of taverns, hustling strangers out of their coin with his greatest weapon: a full deck of cards.

Fly-by High

PART 6 of The Stolen Moments Collection

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24692275 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Summary:

Murphy paused as he heard the distinct sound of broom bristles cutting through the air. Murphy turned his head just in time as Ellie's Comet-260 whipped past the commentator's box. Random papers whipped around at the backdraft she caused; Murphy smirked as she skillfully drifted back towards him, "To what do I own that entrance?" His voice carried without the need for the microphone.

Notes:

Hello, my Lovelies! I am back, because who needs sleep when you have caffeine!

So the breakdown: After seeing Ellie at the Yule ball with someone (Who was not him! And I won't tell because it will be another drabble. ). Murphy placed matters into his own hands, meaning she has said yes.

Shocker, I know!

This is just a cute little in-between snippet between then and the date. Cause they are two sweet little beans!

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Harry Potter. I do not own Hogwarts Mystery.

I do, however, own Ellie Bennett!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Murphy stretched his arms up to enjoy the warm sun. The last few days, it has been nothing but freezing temperatures. Though, it didn't help that Orion had been organizing practices before breakfast for the last month. His plan to woo the Ravenclaw beater seemed to go swimmingly. The Yule Ball incident gave him the push he needed to do something.

But more on that at a different time, now it was time to get ready to provide commentary to this weekend's Quidditch Friendly tournament. This sunny Saturday, dedicated to mini-Quidditch matches. Most of the teams for these tournaments were hobby quidditch players, trying to build their skills to try out for their house teams. None of the friendlies lasted over an hour to ensure all the mini-teams had a chance to play.

McNully opened the box containing the mouthpiece to his microphone. He knew there was plenty of time before the matches started, but he remembered that Andre was playing as Seeker in one of the Friendlies. That meant he should try to talk to him before the matches began.

Ellie returned his smirk as she floated calmly to the edge of his box. "I had to make sure you were awake. Plus, I come bearing offerings of sweet rolls." One hand offering the cloth that hid the treats. Murphy leaned forward to take the bundle from her. Ellie ruffled her red hair slightly before she threw it into a messy high ponytail. She sighed, "And to warn you, Penny is on the hunt."

"For me?" He asked, quirking his eyebrow as he unfolded the cloth. The smell of cinnamon hit his nose, "What does Penny want with me?"

Ellie blushed turning her head so he couldn't get a clear look at her face, "Gossip probably…"

Murphy smirked, looking at the girl in front of him, "Does she want the play-by-play of how you said yes to a date with me?" He snuck his teeth into the first roll; the sweet-cinnamon taste erupted on his tongue. They were still soft and warm. Merlin, what did he do for her to bring him such a wonderful treat.

"Don't say it like that," Ellie's nose scrunched slightly, "You make it sound like there was a possibility of me saying no." Ellie turned her head away to not look at the commentator.

Murphy stared at her in shock, swallowing his mouthful, "Elle, I've seen the other friends you hang out with…" Murphy started as he tried to get closer to the railing of his commentator box, "Lee and Weasley don't exactly hide that they're flirting."

"Charlie is more interested in Dragons; I think he doesn't notice he is flirting until it is too late," Ellie defended. She puffed her cheeks.

"I still only had a 34.6 percent chance of you saying yes. What about Barnaby?"

Ellie's ears and puffed cheeks pinked a bit, "What about Barnaby?"

Murphy turned his head away and huffed crossing his arms, "There were rumors you two were hanging out a bit. About 82.5 percent implied you two were together."

Ellie leant forward on her broom, "Barnaby knew I like someone else." Murphy quirked an eyebrow, she did? "And just because I know Barnaby likes me doesn't mean I can't say yes to you."

"You like someone," Murphy reasoned as he sighed, not looking at her. He shoved another sweet roll into his mouth to stop him from saying anything further. The delicious taste did not hide the foul taste already in his mouth and now his stomach.

"Murphy…" Ellie looked as though she was talking to a wall, "Just… shut and eat a roll."

"Oh…" Murphy's eyes widen for a moment. Was he that thick? "You still could've said no."

"And miss out on going on a date with the next best Quidditch Commentator?" The bespectacled redhead giggled, "Not a chance. How else am I suppose to brag when you are rich, famous, and happen to forget about me."

Murphy rolled his eyes, his grin ever-present on his lips, "Trust me, you are anything but forgettable."

"Since when did you become a softie?" She asked as she now decided to crawl into the commentator's box.

Murphy held out his hand to help her step gracefully onto the ground, "I am 62.8 percent certain occurred after the staircase incident… I yelled at this little round-cheeked, redheaded third year." Ellie patted her slightly thinner cheeks. A lot happened in two years. "After practice, I found her in the Quidditch locker room on the floor. Books and papers were strung all over the floor, her bag ripped, and that same girl was sitting in all that mess, crying." Murphy still noticed that his fingers were holding her soft hand. He squeezed them as he continued, "I was 100 percent sure that I was not the reason for you to cry like that again…"

Ellie squeezed back as before seating herself relatively close to the announcer. "You know, I had one of the worst days of my life that day."

"Oh?"

"Mhmm," she adjusted their hands so she could thread her fingers in-between his, "I nearly passed out twice, Merula was being Merula, and I took an unintentional bludger to the gut, and my bag ripping on the first day of classes. But, nothing was worse than the glare you gave me." Her other hand reached up to ruffle her hair, "I didn't mean to make you mad."

"I wasn't mad just…" Murphy paused, had he been embarrassed? Perhaps, but was it honestly embarrassment from the fall or that he seemed weak. "I just didn't like being seen as weak."

Ellie smiled, "I know."

Murphy returned her soft smile. He felt himself gravitate towards her. She stayed still, and the blond had an evil thought passed his mind. Murphy squeezed her small fingers that were threaded through his, making sure she couldn't get away. Darting his lips to press against her cheek, blowing a raspberry upon contact. Her laugh landed upon his ear as she playfully tried to pull away from him. Her attempts were proven futile. Her laughter mixed his little chuckles until they stare at each other contently. "Much better…"

"A-hem," A small cough caused the two to jump apart. Standing side-by-side was a blonde Hufflepuff shaky with excitement and a sneaky redhead Ravenclaw. "See, Penny. Told you, I would find them."

Murphy closed his eyes, feeling Ellie drop her head onto his shoulder, "Did that on your own…" he whispered under his breath.

"Be nice…" he felt a puff of warm air on his neck.

"So it's true?" Penny squealed, taking the stairs to the lower part of the box, two-at-a-time. She stopped trying to contain her excitement. "I mean that you two are well-" Tulip rolled her eyes as she smiled at the pair.

"I think what Penny is trying to say is," Tulip answered with hand on her hip, "We have to be civil with McNully."

"Tulip!" Penny gasped looked at the other girl, "That was rude."

Murphy rolled his eyes before he placed his cheek against soft red-hair. "Karasu's still mad I disarmed her dungbomb I found in Snape's."

"Just be happy it wasn't tied to Dennis," Ellie muttered turning her head to look at her friends. She lifted her head off Murphy's shoulder, earning a whine from the boy, "Try having to defuse it while it is on a small moving target."

"It was one time…" Tulip joked. "But in all seriousness. Way to go McNully, just know you are still a valid target for pranks and practical jokes."

McNully nodded, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Penny hopped up and down, "So Murphy! I have to-"

The sound of a broom speeding past caught all of them off-guard, the remaining sweet roll flying unceremoniously in the air, "MCNULLY!" Andre panted as he pulled his broom back towards the commentator's box. "You are supposed to be helping me!"

Ellie couldn't help the grin on her face as she let her fingers slip from Murphy's. She felt a swell of glee at the long squeeze he gave before releasing her fingers. She was still nervous about the date, but perhaps it wouldn't be so bad.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Notes:

Alright, my Lovelies!

Don't worry I will have more Penny and Tulip actually interacting with McNully! *Insert wink*

Please leave a comment and a Kudos down below. If you have any ideas or prompts you wish with Murphy x Ellie, or even Murphy and someone else let me know.

Until next time!

PLOT DROP : I N T O L I M B O

1 May 1980.

It was all supposed to be in good fun. The game was something everyone was looking forward to, a conflict that they could all escape into rather than face themselves. Wilda Griffiths leaving the Harpies team was a simple betrayal, one that didn’t prompt people to look back into their own lives and try and read the signs, wait to see who had betrayed them. No, this was about Quidditch. It was all about Quidditch, and there was no need to focus on anything else.

It was the perfect environment to have people distracted in. It was all too easy to set the traps.

Not everyone gathered for the game, but the crowds were still large as people swarmed to the stadium to watch. Others less fortunate and unable to get off from work keep the radios on, eagerly listening in on what’s happening as each second unfolds…

Good morning, listeners, and welcome back to the match! Today, Puddlemere United faces off against the Holyhead Harpies after the brutal departure of chaser Wilda Griffiths from the Harpies! For the first time since her defection, Griffiths will be on the pitch with her former team. This match promises to be a bloody one, listeners.

An update for those of you who haven’t been following the latest news as attentively as I have– if you haven’t, shame on you!– Griffiths is being replaced by up and coming chaser, Gabrielle Garcia. Garcia, nineteen and an alumna from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was recruited to the Harpies straight out of her successful four year Quidditch career at Hogwarts as chaser and captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team to be put on the reserve team. This will be her first ever professional game, and marks her maiden match as a member of the Harpies. She’s hilarious, listeners, she really is. You’ll never meet a more awkward and nervous player as Garcia, though hopefully she plays better than she talks, otherwise the Harpies are in for a crushing defeat.

And the players are coming out onto the pitch now. The tension in the air is thick enough to spread on toast, folks. Harpies captain Constance Garroway is one of the first stepping out onto the pitch, and she’s got no interest in keeping the peace here, folks, she looks ready to take beater Gwenog Jones’ bat and start swinging. Puddlemere captain and chaser Abigail Bridge is sticking close to her teammates as they walk out onto the pitch… and yes, we can see Griffiths now, clad in her navy blue robes after turning in her green Harpies getup. Everyone is looking ready for a fight.

Referee Agnes Murphy better be ready to jump into the middle of a brawl, folks. Garroway and Bridge are meeting in the middle of the pitch right now to shake hands. I bet Garroway is trying to break Bridge’s right now. If looks could kill, Griffiths would be flat on her back stone cold dead right now. Everyone’s on edge. Bridge has stepped back for the coin toss, but Garroway still hasn’t moved ye– oh! Oh, Garroway has hurdled past Bridge and punched Griffiths in the face! Griffiths is down, folks, and I don’t know if she’s getting up!

The rest of the Harpies have entered the fray now to protect their captain– Garroway is taking some good punches thrown by the Puddlemeres! Puddlemere seeker Martin– ooh! he is on the ground, folks, he is on the ground! The beaters have their bats out and are swinging away at each other– bloody hell, you’d think heads were bludgers! Officials are running to try and stop– I can’t see Griffiths anymore, I can’t see her! Amira Gordeu of the Harpies is kicking at someone like there’s no tomorrow, but I can’t see who. There is definitely blood drawn, folks. There’s–

Griffiths is up! I repeat, Griffiths is– and down she goes again! She’ll be lucky to be alive after this one, folks, it’s a bloodbath down there. Martin is being hauled back– it’s lucky that so many of the Harpies are short, or there’d be no stopping them. Jones– Hestia, not– oh, no, and Gwenog– are no longer touching the ground— I can’t see Griffiths– bloody hell, Garroway’s snapped her broom– is she using that as a weapon? PU Beater Elias Burn just hit Jones– might be his Jones– in the shoulder. That’s not going to go over well. Oh, no, it was Gwenog. Can’t say I’m relieved about that one, and she isn’t eith– I think his nose is broken, folks! And she’s being hauled back again. I still can’t see Griffiths!

I can’t see Griffiths! Can anyone see Griffiths?

Can anyone see Griffiths?

The chaos and the excitement of the game is overshadowed, and the radio cuts away from the broadcast, leaving the outside world in the dark about what’s happening. Of all things, that seems like it would be it, but it’s a distraction. No one notices the wizard sneaking into the post office, and Skeuomorph is able to do his job. Hundreds and hundreds of notes are put into the post, with information and threats wrapped up in pleasant little envelopes that no one suspects to be dangerous.

Constance Garroway, captain of the Holyhead Harpies, is arrested by Aurors, and is hauled away while screaming insults at Wilda Griffiths.

“ You filthy mudblood! You filthy mudblood, next time I’ll kill you! ”

Her shouts stop abruptly halfway across the field. The curse has been lifted, the twisting of her mind and her tongue released as the Imperius curse is lifted. A distraction was all that they needed, and a distraction was what they’d gotten. There was no use in keeping the pawn in play. Her only use now was to fall, and fall hard, on the choices of another made for her. Skeuomorph disappears, and any who ask later whether he belonged to either side, Death Eater or Order, is told they have no idea who he is, nor will they ever. He vanishes, true name and identity unknown, leaving the notes in his wake do do their damage.

While the wreck of the Quidditch match disaster is cleared away, the post goes out. And nothing is quite the same as it was…

Under the cut you will find the note sent to each character by Skeuomorph. While no threads may take place during the incident, you may write drabbles that do, and all starters take place after the incident. If you have any questions about this, feel free to message us, and we will be more than happy to help you out and clear things up for you!

Please include “into limbo” in the title of all starters related to the plot drop, and tag things related to this plot drop with the tag “ofc: into limbo” so that others can find them.

The Must-See Exhibits At Melbourne Art Fair 2018

Art

Pierre Mukeba · GAG Projects

Young Adelaide-based artist Pierre Mukeba is one to watch. Pierre immigrated to Australia in 2006 with his family, from the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, after living in a refugee camp in Zambia and with family in Zimbabwe. It was living with his uncle that inspired Pierre to take up drawing, while his grandfather was a famous artist in Congo.

In a restricted colour palette, the self-taught 23-year-old depicts his family members candidly, often swathed in strikingly patterned garments, and other everyday scenes of life in Central Africa.

Pierre’s emotive works on display at Melbourne Art Fair offer subtle yet crucial, thought-provoking glimpses into the trauma experienced by asylum seekers and other displaced persons.

Lucy Culliton · Jan Murphy Gallery

Regular Archibald, Wynne and Sulman finalist, Lucy Culliton will be showcasing stunning new still life paintings.

Inspired by her rural home in Bibbenluke, New South Wales, Lucy’s exhibitions typically focus on a single subject matter, with florals taking centre-stage at Melbourne Art Fair.

The National Art School graduate boasts works in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and Parliament House, Canberra, along with many private collections, and her inclusion in MAF presents a covetable opportunity for collectors.

Cressida Campbell · Sophie Gannon Gallery

We were chuffed to land a studio visit with Cressida Campbell last week, as she prepares to exhibit with Sophie Gannon Gallery at the Melbourne Art Fair.

Cressida’s five new works – two unique woodblock prints, and three painted wood blocks – are inspired by both familiar interior scenes from her own home, and new explorations into reflections on water. As always, the works are painstaking in their detail, and larger in scale than ever before.

Born in Bentinck Island c.1924, The late Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori and her Kaiadilt community members were relocated to Mornington Island by missionaries in the 1940s.

Amazingly, the artist did not pick up a paintbrush until she was in her 80s, with the encouragement of Mornington Arts Centre co-ordinator Brett Evans. Despite this, in her later years, Sally became one of Australia’s most highly regarded and sought-after indigenous artists.

Passing away in 2015 (read the moving obituary by her son-in-law here), Sally has left behind a tremendous legacy. The special opportunity to witness a selection of her vibrant land and seascapes should not be missed.

Every time we feature prolific Australian artist Mirka Mora, the feedback we receive is ecstatic! It’s safe to say, Mirka holds a special place in many hearts.

Fair go-ers this year will be treated to a number of original charcoal sketches by Mirka, created between 1950 and 1970, exhibited by her son’s gallery, William Mora Galleries.

Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota will unveil The Crossing, a new site-specific installation. This work marks Chiharu’s first presentation at an Australian art fair, and will see a sculptural field of white thread interwoven with books.

Best known for her intricate and large-scale installations that explore complex relationships between body and mind, The Crossing is an organic construction like a biological structure that flexes in all directions, rejecting a hierarchical system.

‘Every single thread carries a vast amount of meaningful information, accumulating in a mass of awareness. It is the history of our interwoven, universal narratives, filling the space with an organic structure of human matter,’ explains Chiharu. ‘With The Crossing, I want to present this intermingling but compact system, to map the knowledge we share and pass on to our children, who pass it on to their children.’

One of two New Zealand-born artists on our radar for the upcoming fair is Travis MacDonald. The now Melbourne-based painter graduated from VCA in 2011, and has since been awarded the Gary Grossbard Drawing Prize and the Lionel Gell Foundation Drawing Scholarship.

Travis draws on his collection of photography and an interest in history, music, conspiracy theories and world events to present storied compositions on canvas.

We can’t get enough of Auckland-based artist Julian Hooper’s beguiling paintings. The accomplished painter has exhibited extensively throughout his homeland, Australia, and in New York.

We’re especially intrigued by Julian’s graphic works featuring imaginative configurations of letters and numbers – sussing out these paintings in real life will be a MAF highlight for us!
