aria raised her eyebrows at alecto’s statement, and stood straight up. “it’s a good thing my clumsiness didn’t stop me from catching the snitch at last week’s Quidditch game, huh?” she smiled sweetly, “better tell your team to buck up, yeah? it’s difficult when the only thing you excel at is cheating.” aria’s tone had turned very sour. her eyes darted down, observing alecto’s wand, and alerted, she quickly slipped her hand into the pocket of her robe, gripping her wand in preparation. 

Realising it was Aria, a small smirk began to appear upon Alecto’s features as she observed the fallen books all over the floor. “Perhaps if you weren’t so clumsy you wouldn’t have dropped all the books all over the floor. Or better, you wouldn’t have disturbed me from trying to finish something.” It was at this that she began to twist her wand between her fingers, implying that she would cast something unless Aria began to go away.

aria couldn’t sleep. it was far, far too warm, and the room she was sharing with the other 7th year girls had no windows opened. of course, she would open those windows if the other girls hadn’t complained. fed up and sweaty, aria made her way up to the astronomy tower, where she longed for the cool breeze. she certainly didn’t expect another person to be here as well. upon nearing the person, she groaned when she realized it was rita. 

“what,” aria jeered, “can’t take what you dish out?”

rita’s back tensed up after hearing the soft footsteps behind her. it was late at night and she was heading to the astronomy tower, and she was in no mood to have her fun spoiled. she turned around abruptly. “have you been following me this whole time?”

“oh?” aria stiffened a laugh. “what kind of books?” she shrugged indifferently, “i’ve been here for hours, but all the information i’ve found is about animagus, not how to become one. i’m about to give up, but i really feel like it’ll come in handy one day.” she yawned, rubbing sleep away from her eyes. it was late.

“ oh, trying my luck on smuggling some books from the restricted section, as i have been doing for the past years. “ she smiled. ” so how was your researching? did you discover something worthwhile? “

aria had been talking a stroll around the school, after finding herself rather restless after completing classes and all her homework. (it didn’t take her very long at all, you see.) she hadn’t gone a long way from the Charms classroom when she heard shouting down a narrow hallway that she hadn’t seen before. her curiosity aroused, she followed the voice into a classroom, where she found the blonde looking rather vexed, and a first year scrambling out the classroom door looking quite terrified.

tilting her head as odette acknowledged her presence, aria inquired, “rough day?” 

“NO!” the word reverberated around the empty classroom as the blonde turned on the other quickly. her hands showed that if she could, she’d’ve wrung their neck without a question. “go away. i’m fine, i don’t want you here, in fact i really want you to get the fuck away from me. walk out the door you came from.” 

demandingly, she snapped, “now!” 

she watched as the little first year scurried away and the sound of another set of footsteps had her tapping her foot against the stonework floor, ready to point the other out the door. she only faltered when she made eye contact and her hand quickly fell to her side. “oh… hey,” she said lamely, unsure of what to say.

Aria looked up from her position of picking up her books that she had accidentally dropped on the floor, an her facial features arranged themselves into one of annoyance. “well, i’m sorry, i wasn’t trying to interrupt you on purpose, but maybe if you took time to realize what was happening instead of being so self absorbed, you’d be able to see that,”she snapped. 

As Alecto began to settle down in her space of peace and quiet, she was suddenly interrupted by a collision of sound. Whipping her head around, Alecto’s fingers grasped her wand as she asked, “Can’t a girl have some peace and quiet? Or do I need to hex you to get that point across?”

“fine.” aria had no qualms telling septima what she was doing. “i was doing research on how to become an animagus, because prof won’t tell me. that’s it.” aria looked at septima pointedly. “and yourself?”

“ alright, we’ll see— if your reason is one i deem worthwhile enough for me to keep your secret…. then you have yourself a deal. “ septima nodded. if anything, she was just curious as to what her reason would be (and weigh if whether or not she was telling the truth. ) “ spill the beans. “

“ yes, because everyone knows my attributes are beyond compare to another—- at least of all the dwellers of this castle. “ he said confidently, as if saying a simple fact. “ how about you go further and get the box behind the dim-eyed angel statue, on the far left…. there. i’ve heard sirius go on telling me about how there’s a box hidden there somewhere. “

aria watched james closely. “alright.” aria steppped back until she was in plain view of the box. she took one step towards it, and in one swift motion, drew her wand and commanded, “accio!” the box flew towards her, and she held it out towards james. “was i supposed to fall for something?” aria raised an eyebrow.

[aria-lennock]

aria narrowed her eyes. “i’m trying to learn how to turn into... something.” aria left it at that. she didn’t know if this girl was trustworthy, and besides, she’d only give the necessary bit of information. “your turn.” aria mirrored emma’s pose, cocking her hips.

Wanting to be one of the top students in her classes was a goal for Emma. A reason why she tended to study hard, even when she didn’t look the part for it. However, what caught her by surprise was someone else being around the restricted area. Raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms, the brunette had a sudden smirk on her face. “Fine, but if it’s not a good reason, then I’m going to have to ask for something a bit more.”

aria glanced at the mess of spaghetti, meatballs, sauce, cheese, and sausages strewn all along the floor, then back up at the boy.  “so you’re telling me,” she said slowly, “that this mess” - she waved in the general direction of the food - “wasn’t your doing? and i assume there;s someone under an invisible cape or something who did do that?” 

“That was not me.”

it was late, way too late, and aria would really rather be in bed than in the restricted section section of the library right now. but she had to get this done. ‘just 15 more minutes’, she thought, and let out a yawn. the sound of someone knocking into a nearby bookcase made her jump, and aria immediately took out her wand. the sound of footsteps grew louder; aria took a deep breath, bravely stepped into a hall of bookshelves, and- “oh!”, she sighed audibly, and dropped her wand. “it’s just you,” she smiled weakly. “i’ll make you a deal, alright? i’ll tell you why i’m in here, and in return, you’re not going to tell anyone you saw me. got it? and vice versa.”

[aria-lennock]

“are you really doubting my word, potter?” aria shot back with a grin equally comical as the boy’s. “oh, bring it on. what kind of small game are you thinking of this time?” aria swallowed her nerves and faced the boy, her head held high. 

“ better attributes than mine? i’m questioning the validity of your statement. “ he responded with a goofy grin. “ are you, really? then let us see then— shall we not? how about we play a game, lennock. after all being scared isn’t in your vocabulary, as you said. “

[aria-lennock]

aria raised her eyebrows. “good thing you don’t play Quidditch,” she murmured to herself, before raising her voice and adding, “well, the fact that you’re hidden in this closet and not using any useful spells to hide from whomever - you know we can use magic, right? or do you not know how to?” aria said this sweetly, but with a sarcastic undertone.

“You were in my way, so my instinct was just to grab you too. I don’t know I didn’t have time to think properly.” He explained, frowning at the female. “Does it matter? Who said I needed your help.” He retorted, still holding her back.

“i was talking about you, goof,” aria lightly nudged his arm, shaking her head at arthur’s complete lack of any clues whatsoever. ‘so tell me about this neighbor of yours,” aria said slyly, “what kind of muggle are they?

aria’s lips twitched as she said “ah - logical, but not too good at socializing… reminds you of someone, doesn’t it?” she winked at him. “only kidding, weasley… i assure you, you are quite the charmer.”

[aria-lennock]

“no, no, i’m not evil.” aria chuckled, and gestured towards a chair that floated by them. “i’m just practicing levitation, and moving objects around,” she explained. “I promise i’ll return him to your care when i’m done!”

“You’re kidding, right? Oh– you’re not, that’s definitely a little frog. It’s so cute! What spells are you practicing? I’ll warn you– if it’s anything cruel and I’ll have to kidnap this little cutie.”

[aria-lennock]

aria laughed heartedly, liking the blonde immensely. “you have a deal,” she promised. “so is there anything i can do to help you in return?” she asked.

   “ don’t- don’t ruffle my hair ever again and we’re even.” she joked lightly.

aria waved her hand dismissively. “don’t worry, he’s too busy training the newcomer to worry about a professional beater like you taking a little nap.” aria twisted to her left to look at their captain near the end of the field talking to a very nervous fourth year. “oh, you flatter me. it’s all that training you made me do at the end of last year! without your help i could never be here now.” aria smiled at her friend. 

“ you reckon i am bound to a hour’s worth of captain’s reprimanding? “ septima mused. it’s not that she hated reprimands, she appreciated it as an avenue to learn and improve on herself, but then she could think of plenty other ways she could use that hour in much productive ways. “ that sounds incredible. i always wonder how you seekers do your thing, and you seem to have improved greatly, aria.  “
