frank smiled leaning against the frame of the compartment, “i made it though didn’t i?” he said sliding into the compartment with his things, the compartment looking relatively tidy, though to frank that just meant he had more room to spread out. he wasn’t really that messy, but especially away from home, you could say he was more relaxed when it came to organization. he slipped his carry on off his shoulder, sitting down across from her. “is that all it will take?” he asked leaning back in his seat, “just one singular frog?” he said, “well i could have taken my sweet time then, you should have told me sooner or i wouldn’t have rushed so much emm’.” 

he leaned up against the compartment door, towing his usual line between lankiness and an unusual grace, and em shook her head in amusement. “you did,” she conceded with a laugh. “which is a shame. i would have simply loved to see you trying to navigate muggle london.” she closed her book with a wry grin. “well, think of it as a... relatively-early bird special. the more crowded it got, the higher my fee would be.” she shifted around so that she now leaned against his shoulder instead of the wall. she could tell that he was more tired than he let on, and these little shows of comfort were sometimes the best thing that the petite ravenclaw could offer him. “i feel confident that over the course of the school year, i’ll have stolen enough of your food to more than make up for it.”

the rumbling of the train was loud enough that it could drown out anything- the patter of the rain against the window, the buzz of conversation as people reconnected, anything, if emmeline just focused on it. she liked the peace of the sound; it reminded her of the ocean. she leaned against the seat, dark hair falling aimelessly over her shoulder, as her emerald eyes shifted lazily to her cousin. “so,” she grinned, “you think you’re going to do the competition?”

frnklbtm:

frank had slept in this morning, his mother had taken his father to a doctor’s appointment that morning, and like a full idiot, he had slept in. while he was rushing to put himself together, he thanked merlin he had the better sense to pack the night before, and though a bit tardy, still made it to the station and the train just on time. he glanced around for people he knew or even recognized, god so many first years. feeling old he finally spotted a familiar face, and an empty space quickly making his way towards the compartment, nearly crashing into the door trying to get there, worried someone would beat him to it, “mind if i sit here?”

as was emmeline’s habit, she had packed not one, not two, but three books for the train ride- as though she would suddenly develop some kind of superhuman reading speed in the time it took to get to hogwarts. it made no sense at all, especially seeing as em already knew very well that she would soon start talking to people and let her book fall by the wayside, to be returned to in the evening once they had reached the dorms. still, she found herself curled up against the wall of the train compartment, her eyes flicking across the ancient pages in fascination. with her focus so thoroughly kept by the text, emmeline hardly noticed the frantic tapping of sneakers as students ran here and there, until one particular student ducked his oh-so familiar floppy-haired head into the doorway. “you’re cutting it a bit close,” the chiding note in her voice was lightened by the amused glimmer in her green eyes. frank knew too well that she could hardly scold people for being late- she regularly lost track of the time when she was reading. “i suppose i don’t mind, though- if you get me a chocolate frog.”

“me? make fun of you? i would never,” he answered her question with a hint of sarcasm. “alright, maybe i was making fun of you, but i was being serious about the other thing ━ wouldn’t lie about that.” the boy assured her. “honestly though, em, i’ll hex any bastard that tries to go anywhere near you.” james joked…sort of. he was very protective of her, after all, and he knew very well that, sometimes, most guys don’t have the best intentions when it comes to girls. the young gryffindor shrugged at her question “surprisingly enough, i’ve no idea where they are. probably someplace they shouldn’t be. wouldn’t be the first time.”

emmeline mock pouted, batting her delicate eyelashes dramatically. “you’re breaking my heart, jamie, teasing me like this.” but around him, she could never quite keep the smile from her face, and so it wasn’t long before it lifted her cheeks again. “i know you will. and i would once again like to point out that you don’t have to, as i can more than take care of myself.” jamie should know better than most anyone that she was dangerous with a wand. “getting into trouble yet again, are they?” her smile split her lips; the so-called marauders were some of her favorite people in the world, even though they could be a bit of a handful from time to time. “at least remus is there to keep siri from derailing the train.”

his lips curled into a smile as soon as he saw her. not many people had that effect on him, but emmeline was definitely one of the few who did. james opened his arms wide as she rushed towards him, eventually wrapping them around the petit girl once she was close enough. “i’ve missed you, em” he confessed, pulling her a tad closer before finally freeing her from his embrace. she was the closest thing james had to a sister. “you’ve gotten a bit taller, haven’t you? and prettier, if that’s even possible. looks like i’m gonna be fighting off a lot of guys this year, huh?” 

emmeline barrelled into james like a freight train without much concern; his years of quidditch playing had left him more than strong enough to handle the impact of someone as tiny as her. he wrapped his arms around her and she leaned into him, head still not even passing the middle of his chest. “i missed you too, jamie.” her tone was colored with adoration, as it always was with him. he was one of her best friends, probably the closest thing that emmeline had to family inside the walls of hogwarts. at his comment, she scrunched her nose up and looked up to him. “are you making fun of me, prongs?” em couldn’t remember when she had last grown- probably around second year. it did have it’s perks though, as she was still quick enough to play seeker. “well now i know that you’re making fun of me,” still, her cheeks colored red at the compliment. “you, of course, are looking handsome as ever. so where’s the rest of the ragtag lot?”

another year, another train ride. it was one of the few things that she could always anticipate; the rush of the platforms, the captivating scent of the candy trolley wafting through the corridors, it was as familiar to her as a song. in some ways, this felt like every other year. of course, there were some things that were vastly different. chatter filled the train, and emmeline could hear from the scattered conversations that everyone was abuzz with interest about dumbledore’s surprise. there was also a hint of tension in the air; a slight distrust in peoples’ eyes as hey observed her, silently wondering what side she was on. emmeline shook off the sense of unease as she entered her usual compartment. a wide grin split her lips as she saw a familiar shock of dark hair. “jamie,” she cried as she rushed forward to hug him. it had been far too long since she had last seen the unruly gryffindor.

siriiuses:

“ out of my way. ” sirius nearly barreled over some poor first years as he made his way through the crowd, a bag slung over his shoulder and dragging his trunk behind him. there were too many people – rather, people he could care less about ( the purebloods couldn’t stand him and the feeling was mutual ). once he was on the train, he found a empty compartment ( a blessing in disguise ) and now he was waiting for someone he knew. in the meantime, he looked through his bag, pulling out a bottle of firewhiskey. he uncorked the bottle before taking a sip. a noise behind him caused him to start, and he turned around, the bottle falling towards his side. “ want a sip ? my uncle alphard gave me this to start the new year right – ” he grinned “ – or you can leave a pretend you never saw me. either are good options. ” 

emmeline was late. she had gotten distracted in her book his morning and fallen behind on packing. she rushed to the platform as the cobblestones clacked beneath her. it was a great relief to the girl as she passed through the brick wall and saw the vibrant scarlet train still in the station. there were still a few open carriages, but emmeline was searching for a few particularly familiar faces. finally she saw a shock of black hair and knew that she had found them. she slid the door open, amusement lighting up her eyes as she saw the bottle in his hands. “starting early, i see,” she teased. still, she took the seat beside him with an easy grace. “i would love to pretend that i never saw you, but alas, you’re just so stunningly handsome that it would be impossible- so i suppose i’ll have a sip.”

10: Most problematic thing your muse has ever done?

emmeline tries her best to be kind, to be understanding- but in this trait probably lies her deepest wrong. she has allowed herself to forgive hatred, to look the other way when a person she cared about was doing wrong, because of the feelings that she had for him. when she eventually cut ties, it was hard not to feel ashamed of the time that it took for her to do the right thing. and even now, she worries that she might fall into the trap of forgiving him once again.

14:  What is your muse’s deadly sin?

emmeline’s deadly sin is probably pride. she believes that she has enough love in her heart to change a person’s fundamental being.

15:What would your muse say to their younger self if they could go back in time?      

“you’ll have to be brave, even when it’s hard- especially when it’s hard. dark times are coming, but you have the strength to fight back against them. you can be strong enough, and you can be good enough;

5. does your muse have any phobias?

emmeline fears losing the people that she loves. she knows that she has no control in the coming war of the fates of her friends, which really terrifies her. she also grew up with a less pertinent fear of heights, which she has since conquered by playing quidditch.

9: what is your muse’s sexual preference?  

she is heterosexual.

19: is your muse more self loving or self loathing?

emmeline is more self-loving. she certainly struggles with self-loathing and doubt at times, particularly with all of the conflict that they’re facing now, but she knows that sometimes the most powerful thing that a person can do is to choose to love yourself. it’s a daily struggle that she isn’t willing to give up on.

hello hello! i’m hannah and this lovely little mess is emmeline vance. more info about my girl is under the cut. like this or hmu if you want to plot, because it’s my favorite thing to do in the whole world!

did someone just say that they saw DANIELLE CAMPBELL on the hogwarts express ?? never mind- it’s just that SEVENTH year RAVENCLAW, EMMELINE VANCE. she’s pretty OPTIMISTIC + LOYAL, but one of the portraits whispered to me that she’s also STUBBORN + NAIVE. anyways, i hear they PLAN ON entering the tournament !

THE BASICS

Emmeline Vance was born to a pureblood family, though not one of as much renown as many of the great ‘sacred 28.’ her family attended pureblood functions while she was growing up, but it was only because her father liked making the ministry connections

when she first got to hogwarts, everyone figured that emmeline would end up in hufflepuff, even her. she was incredibly surprised that the hat placed her in ravenclaw and even thought that it had made a mistake at first

but then once she got to classes em discovered this.... voracious love of learning. she found that nothing made her happier than reading and discovering new things and she was super driven in her classes. she found out that she was actually really gifted in magic and suddenly everything that the hat had told her made sense

THE WAR

Emmeline has never been one to enjoy conflict, so the rising tensions over the past few years were incredibly uncomfortable for her at first

eventaully she found her voice when she saw a first year muggleborn being picked on by older students. after that, she started convincing her friends to keep an eye out for the younger muggleborn students and protect them if needed

Her family has always been fairly moderate, but she has taken it a step further by being openly against blood supremacy and anti-muggle rhetoric. sometimes she worries that her vocal opposition will endanger her parents positions, but she knows that she couldn’t forgive herself if she stepped aside and let people get hurt

her position ended up driving a wedge between herself and her former best friend (wanted connection), which has put a lot of strain on her emotionally. she doesn’t want to give up on people if she can potentially bring them back from the dark side, but she also doesn’t feel right in associating with people who openly advocate for evil

her intentions after graduation are to join up with the aurors, which shouldn’t be too difficult for her with her grades and training. she has been taking dueling incredibly seriously lately, which is what really prompted her to join the competition. she needs to know whether she is strong enough to protect people

PERSONALITY

okay so my girl is just like… a sweetheart.

all she wants is to keep Her People safe. unfortunately, this is not particularly easy when you’re at war. she’s basically the consummate mom friend tho tbh. takes notes for people who are sick, makes sure that they’re eating regularly. she knows how hard things are right now and she just wants to help however she can

she’s one of those people who see the best in everyone and so she has a bad tendency of giving people too many chances

one thing that’s really tough for her right now is that she doesn’t want to give up on people affiliated with the Dark Lord- they’re just kids, and most of them are only following in their parents’ footsteps. but she also can’t forgive them for the way that they’re treating others, and she doesn’t want to associate with that level of hate

highkey loves to laugh so like she loves anyone who will laugh with her

i’m so excited to plot with all of y’all and to get started!!!
