“  merlin give me the strength to sit through this entire assembly.  ”  irene muttered.  she let out a sigh and dipped her quill in the pot of ink before continuing to take notes.  she could hear the faintest quills scratching against the parchment.  just because she thought the assembly was taking  forever,  it didn’t mean that she shouldn’t be taking notes.  and for what seemed like an  ETERNITY,  the talk of potions safety came to a close.  oh how she  wished  she had a time turner.  that way,  her time could be spent elsewhere.

as everyone filed out of the great hall,  she found herself walking beside vera.  “  you know,  as  ‘  informative  ’  as this was.  i think the grease is finally getting to snape.  ”  she adjusted the tie on her hogwarts uniform.

″ sweet merlin, is there anything that's not out there for my blood ? ″ walking out of the care of magical creatures still in a rattled state, zach turned to one of his classmates. ″ for once, can we just study the house cat, or the pigeon ? anything that's not capable of ripping out my arm in one swift motion ? ″

     “ say, maybe you can point me in the right direction. “  monty approached damon, his elbows leaning on the counter.  “ if one wanted to put a birthday announcement on the wireless, who would i speak to about making that happen ? “  to his credit, he was keeping a straight face.  inside, he was all too gleeful;  he could imagine the look on lezekiel’s face when the wireless announced to the world it was his birthday and welcomed everyone to come visit his job and celebrate with him !!  not only was it going to be HILARIOUS for monty,  but it wouldn’t hurt his best mate’s business any either.   really,  it was a win / win.  he knew there was always a chance that lezekiel’s sight could spoil the trick but it was still worth trying.  “ it’s november 13. “

“      alright  !  we’re back at it again in the studio,      ”      damon laughs as he flops onto one of the nearby chairs in his studio.   it only seemed like yesterday when he had claramae on the show with him.  and now,  he was even happier to have his best mate here.  he grabbed the cups of butterbeer sitting on the desk,  a courtesy of the three broomsticks and handed one to jay.  he enjoyed the perks that came with working for the wizarding wireless network.  it was nice.  he was in charge of his own radio show.  and he thought he was fortunate enough to have garnered such a viewership.  even if he didn’t know what in the name of merlin he was doing.      “      it’s pretty cool right  ?      ”

she’d nearly forgotten about the crisp autumn weather at hogwarts.  then again,  the weather in scotland in her opinion could be a bit  unpredictable.  but she didn’t find herself underdressed.  either way,  a simple heating charm will solve the problem.  the former ravenclaw made a stop at hogsmeade first before making her way up to the castle.  being away for two years  and rarely visiting her alma mater made her miss the sights the school had to offer.  she needn’t forget the times spent in the astronomy tower or the wooden bridge.

alison continued to walk and reminisce.  there wasn’t a specific purpose as to why she was at hogwarts.  she was just feeling a pang of nostalgia.  oh how simple things were back in school.  adulthood was just a dream.  now that it was a reality,  it wasn’t exactly all that  glamorous.  spotting a familiar blonde,  she grinned to herself.      “      hey little cousin,      ”      she grinned,  walking up beside her.

″ do you remember that party after the gryffindor quidditch win in our fifth year ? when someone sneaked in a bottle of beetle berry whiskey ? ″ lulu reminisced while pouring fatima a cup of tea. they had decided to meet for lunch when lulu went up to london that weekend, and so far the encounter had been a massive walk down memory lane. ″ it was only a single bottle, but i swear twenty people claimed they were so drunk that night. just to sound cool. i bet half of them didn't even see the bottle. ″

        “ i take my tea with two sugars, thank you. “  esther’s smile was warm as the server nodded. she turned to the wix across from her, fingernails tapping the forgotten saucer.  she’d painted her nails with evanna’s ever-changing nail varnish, their color today a sparkling green reflecting the calm she felt within. this was her favorite tea shop and it was a rare day off from the hustle and bustle of st. mungos.  stress was the furthest thing from her mind.  “ i think i’ll have a croissant too. “ she decided as she flipped through the list of bakery items on hand that day. “ maybe two. “ she felt that she deserved the treat; it had been seven whole months since she’d left her husband.  it was the primary reason her varnish was sparkling green and not ambers or greys ( for anxiety, nervousness, and strain ) she’d rocked for months previous.  “ what about you ?  my treat. “

「 tagging @adoraisms for a semi-plotted starter. 」

           the only thing grandiose about ansem warbeck’s apartment was the king sized bed he was stretched out in.  magically enlarged to make it both longer and wider, three people could easily stretch out across it if they so wished. it gave him plenty of room to wiggle his arms and legs as if he were the giant squid, thrashing about in the throes of the ocean.  with charms cast to make it softer and warmer than your average bed, it was with great difficulty that he peeled himself from its depths and went about dressing for the day.  given that it was near midday, sun streamed in through the paned windows of his kitchen,bathing the nook in warm sunlight. a flick of his wand turned up the wireless, the weird sisters’ “do the hippogriff” blasting throughout the house.  this was his favorite part of the morning; padding around barefoot, hair a mess, sipping tea as he stared out the window.  his neighbors had three small children, two of which were currently chasing each other around.  the taller of the two was holding what looked like a stuffed dragon, while the other was waving around a toy wand.  as the wand waved, flowers sprung from its tip and both children laughed.  he smiled, looking away from them as he placed his empty mug in the sink.  it reminded him of his own childhood --- or at least, the good parts of it.  a scrap of parchment on the table caught his eye, reaching for it instinctively.  he smiled at the scrawled out address, written in perfect cursive.  he’d meant to burn the parchment but he wasn’t all that convinced he’d REMEMBER the address without it.  

       after the attacks at the glitzy cauldron, the de la feuentes had insisted that adora move to a more secure location.  after all, the people responsible ?  they were still out there.  no one knew who they were, how they’d evaded capture, or what their next move was.  given the de la fuentes influence in wizarding politics, both local and internationally, ensuring their daughter’s safety was of the utmost importance.  ansem had readily agreed.  the new manor home that adora lived in was largely smaller than the de la fuente estate in spain,  yet still easily capable of housing ansem’s entire apartment tenfold within its walls.  he could easily find himself lost in the halls, calling out his girlfriend’s name in hopes of finding his way back to the sitting room.  he’d once tried to use the point me spell  earning a slew of giggles and a fond eye-roll when he finally proved successful.  tucking the scrap of paper in his pocket, ansem buttoned his cloak and apparated away. 

       though the journey to adora’s manor home wasn’t a long one,  there was a brief walk from the apparation point to the entrance that couldn’t be traveled anyway other than by foot.  it was a safety precaution, one that ansem considered reasonable - all things considered.  as he walked, he thought about the last few months -- how so much had changed in his life -- so much so that he was constantly WAITING for the other shoe to drop.  he wasn’t known for being this happy ... usually something -- or someone -- was waiting in the wings to crush whatever heaping of it he possessed.  though, he supposed, perhaps the only person damaging his happiness was himself.  you see, as good as things were, there had been a few ... hiccups.  shortly after the first time he’d taken adora out on a proper date, his nerves had left him so shaky that he’d simply kissed her on the cheek at the end of the night.  the opportunity had presented itself to kiss her properly,  like he’d imagined so many times over the years, but he’d lost his nerve and settled on the safe bet.  it had happened again some weeks later,  in the middle of a row.  she’d been red faced and shouting,  cross with him. it had completely slipped his mind until he’d arrived that he’d mentioned possibly going to the cauldron sale, a reality that hadn’t come to pass because he’d overslept.  while he’d been slumbering at home, she’d been worried that he was half dead somewhere -- the recipient of a deadly spell aimed his way.  he’d tried to make a joke,  stating that he’d slept like the dead,  but her expression had suggested that it was NOT the time.   when he’d tried to kiss her mid-shout,  his lips had simply grazed the corner of her mouth -- missing the target completely !!  she’d looked at him with such confusion in that moment,  he’d refrained from trying again.  now, weeks later,  he was starting to think that the perfect moment might not exist.  

         a pop distracted ansem from his spiraling thoughts. he must have walked straight through the wards.  he was one of the few people who could pass through them without the aid of the de la fuente house elf, yet another security precaution implemented by his girlfriend’s parents.  one of many, it seemed, given the addition of her most recent house guest. while it was claimed that she was staying for additional protection, given everything that had happened, if you asked him ?  well, he thought it also might have been to discourage overnight visits.  though they were expressly discouraged in the agreement he’d signed, he wouldn’t have put it past the de la fuentes to make it near impossible to sneak anything by them.  not, he rationalized, that they would have DARED try.  he knew how fortunate they were that fernando and maria had even agreed to let him court their only daughter;  he wasn’t exactly what they’d had in mind. upon entering the grounds, the fall foliage complimented the manor home; the grounds elegantly reflecting the season around them.  he took the stairs two at a time, knocking once and entering through the main set of doors.  it was all a bit grandiose for his taste, but he’d gotten used to it over the years.  what he wasn’t used to was the red smoke heart that encircled him every time he entered.  it engulfed him in the spell of adora’s luxury perfume, announcing his arrival with its mere presence.  

        ironically enough, this was only his second visit to the manor home adora now lived in.  they’d seen more of each other before they started courting, the signed agreement stipulating that some of the things they’d once done as friends were now considered unacceptable for two people who were romantically involved.  their travel would be done separately now and between his work trips, and her own bite of the wanderlust bug, they were often in different cities or even countries during their downtime. he hadn’t realized just how much he’d missed her until she swept into view, trademark blue locks tumbling around her shoulders as he beamed up at her.  “ honey, i’m home. “  he teased,  as the doors shut behind him.

as much as she thought potions safety was a topic that shouldn’t be overlooked,  irene still didn’t think that the assembly was  necessary.  of course,  it made sense to address the entire student body of hogwarts.  but there needn’t be an entire  ASSEMBLY.  she arrived at the great hall moments before the assembly was due to start. and while she would usually with her house,  she decided not to and went to sit at the hufflepuff table with her best friend.

“  hey,  ”  she grinned at azaria.  “  is it me or does it look like everyone’s  dreading  this assembly  ?  seems like everyone would rather spend their time with the giant squid.  ”  the half-vampire glanced around the room.

@kaiasx plotted a starter !

zach thought that his seventh year would be drama-free. he was in his last year of studies, trying to ace his n.e.w.t.'s and make quidditch captain. he didn't have time for any confusion in his personal life. but it was three weeks into the school year and drama just seemed to follow him.

first and foremost, there was kaia. the night they spent together in the astronomy tower just threw him completely off guard. he had never thought about her that way, and suddenly it was all he could think about. and it was so bloody annoying, especially when he had so many other things he wanted to concentrate on. regardless, he still caught himself replaying the events of the night whenever his mind wandered, wondering what would've been like to kiss her. then there was the fact that, to his dormmate, zach was single and completely uninvolved with anyone, which was why he was trying to set him up with his sister, a sixth year hufflepuff named poppy. normally, the french wizard would've been thrilled about getting to know someone new, but he was most unenthusiastic about the whole ordeal. poppy, however, seemed to have taken a liking to him despite they never having exchanged words before, and had been telling their friends that they had a date planned in hogsmeade next weekend. between that, his schoolwork and trying to make quidditch captain, zach simply hadn't had the time to stop and think properly about his feelings about anything

which is why the timing was terribly ill when he bumped into kaia outside the greenhouse a few days later, when he was coming out of herbology. he had stayed a bit later after class to ask professor sprout about the n.e.w.t.'s, so there was nobody else with him, and nobody else with her. it was the first time they were meeting without any buffers present, and zach felt his own heart leap into his throat the minute he recognised her walking in his direction. ″ oh. kaia. fancy seeing you here. ″ he said, immediately wishing those dumb words had never come out of his dumb mouth.

to the outsider,  damon was a presentable and charming lad that was representing the family name.  even if no one knew that he was only cassandra and adonis’ half-brother.  the three were closer than ever.  him with cassandra moreso than adonis.  any social gatherings that required the family of  five to be there,  the nott siblings were always held to a standard.  hence why first impressions could be quite misleading.  

the impression followed once he’d gone to hogwarts.  boarding the hogwarts express with his sister by his side was nothing different.  that changed in his fifth year when he was suddenly regarded as the new heartthrob of the school.  he had no idea how this happened.  for merlin’s sake  !  the girls who tried to get his attention were rather intimidating to say in the least. it didn’t stop even when he had a girlfriend.  it was safe to say that there could be others who didn’t particularly like him for that.  he wasn’t to know.

nonetheless,  he continued to reminisce.  it happened every so often.  especially since he was so close to his alma mater.  sure he established himself by becoming a broadcaster.  but it was nothing compared to cassandra when she deviated from working in the family business and built a name for herself in the quidditch world.  then again,  she was also known for helping and supporting the philantropwix.  through his musings,  he continued to walk absentmindedly through the streets only to stop when he realized he bumped into someone.

“      oh  !   my apologies.  are you alright  ?      ”      he reflexively reached out to steady the wix.

kaia wasn’t going to go to the astronomy tower. she liked spending time with zach, and she liked their banter, but the more and more she saw him, the harder it was to push away her attraction to him. she didn’t want to like anybody ----- so she wouldn’t let herself. it wasn’t until an hour before that she decided she would turn up, purely because she needed the defense against the dark arts book: yes, ONLY because of that. and the stars were always beautiful to look at. she was an avid fan of astronomy.

it turned eleven, and kaia had already left gryffindor common room. with a cloak draped loosely around her arms, she lay on the floor in the empty astronomy tower, eyes fixed up at the stars. it was a full moon tonight, and for that, she was glad. everything looked more beautiful in the moonlight. she was so stuck on the sky that she hardly noticed somebody come up beside her: body jumped slightly in surprise as she did, but she relaxed as zach stood before her. resuming her place on the floor, gaze was averted back to the sky. “you have bloody a w f u l  timing, levasseur.”
