which students do you find to be most attractive?

Dj makes an awkward face somewhere between a snarl and a grin before answering the question with a sigh. “Aestheticly, I guess Ted is okay looking. And Briony is just- adorable.”

would you share your sweets with James?

“I’m just going to pretend the innuendo isn't in there, because nope,” She shouts the last word. The sound of her voice bouncing off the walls causing her to chuckle. “Honestly I’ll share my sweets with anyone, and by that I mean actual sweets. I probably shouldn’t eat any more anyways.”

[defiantdjhookum]

what do you want to do after school?

“I probably should have given this more thought at this point in my life, but I really don’t know. Maybe I’ll take a year off and just travel. I heard a rumor about a Occamy sanctuary near Machu Piccu so, I have to go there at least.”

“there is always another option.” caius had never been a forceful individual, always respecting that sometimes people would rather keep themselves closed off than to allow a stranger, or even a friend, to pierce their walls and know what was on their mind. “you could always… walk away, or maybe just sit in silence and enjoy the silent company? or maybe even talk but about a different subject? there are numerous options you could choose from!” it was near impossible for him to not laugh at himself, a shake of his head accompanying the chuckle. he was well aware of how ridiculous he sounded. “— sorry, i get carried away sometimes.”

She listened as he listed off all the other things she could do instead of talking about the letter from her mum, her face scrunched of it’s own violation at the mention of sitting in silence. “It’s like you don't even know me.” She quipped, unable to stand silence even for a moment.

She let him finish, her smile growing as he prattled on. “It’s all good dude, no need to apologize. I sometimes get lost and the next thing i know its five minutes later and I haven’t answered the question I was asked.”

James clenched his jaw as Dj went on about how many sweets she ate. He truly cared about her, but as his headache throbbed the more he couldn’t stand mindless conversation. “Wait please – wait,” he held his hands up not wanting to fight her so hoping he could at least bring her down. “You’ve eaten that much already? Wow, I wish I had your stomach,” he hoped that maybe playing as if he wasn’t dying of exhaustion it would go away. “I wish whatever energy you got flowed through to me.”

Dj just shrugged her shoulders. James wasn’t the first person to comment on her eating habits. Her dad had been fighting to get her to eat better for the last year and a half and well, she was eating cookies for breakfast so she obviously won that argument. “This is what happens when you wake up and got for a run before dawn.” She offered, picking at another cookie she had picked up from the basket. “And then eating your weight in sweets. This was a very bad idea, I have no idea how I got here. I think the sugar made me black out for a moment.” She teased, exaggerating everything that had happened that morning in an effort to make James smile.

“twenty? now that’s a loss. why did you bet so much when slytherin was projected to win?” she’d never spend THAT much on a bet but who was she to judge? she didn’t even have twenty galleons to waste.

She heard the disbelief, Peter had given her the same look when she had made the bet. “My dad would say it’s because I’m bad with my money but I like to think I’m just that loyal to my house.”

Dj offered the approaching girl a soft smile, as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. The pitter patter of the rain against the castle walls making her eager. “I couldn’t really stop you, but we are going dancing in the rain.” She said dancing slightly in place.

“Ouch.” Dj huffed, placing a hand over her heart in, true to her, dramatic fashion. “Really cutting me deep there. I can’t believe I lost 20 galleons. I was so sure...”

“yeah so? i only lost one galleon in my bet, i can live with that. what about you?”

bri-ony​:

“— so… what I am hearing is that you are available right now and miiight be up for checking out some of the abandoned areas of the castle?”

“With you?” She asked, quickly glancing between Bri and the rain splattering on a window nearby. It was an easy decision even if it threw a wrench in what she planned for the day. “Always. Anything to avoid going to class. Where are you thinking?”

[defiantdjhookum]

High on endorphins and sugar, Dj didn’t even mind James snapping at her. In all honesty she couldn’t really blame him. Her insistent repeating of his name had been unintentional but grating. “I’ll ignore your bad mood because I’m hoped up on sugar, but be nice to me or I wont share my treats.” She teased, sitting down across from him and setting the care package Mama Hookum had sent her on the table. “Mum went a little overboard. I already ate six cookies and I think I might have eaten a cupcake too.”

OPEN STARTER @petrificusstarter​

James couldn’t remember the last time he had a decent nights sleep. With helping the marauders, dealing with the constant thought of Regulus in the hospital wing and just in general the world’s current state it was no surprise he couldn’t sleep a wink. These were the times James Potter wasn’t very – James Potter like – he was quiet and his head down so no one would pay attention to him. So when someone did he was quick to snap. “What?”

[defiantdjhookum]

“I know I should be in class but it’s raining....”

@petrificusstarter​

[defiantdjhookum]

Dj should have known better then to think she could hide her emotions. Her mum use to say she wore everything on her face and that has yet to be proven false. “Is there another option because I choose that...” she offered with a forced smile and a breathless sigh.

( gender queer | they/she | china snne mcclain ) —— isn’t that DAISY JANE ‘DJ'  HOOKUM? yeah that is them, sitting there at the HUFFLEPUFF  table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees bruised knees and knuckles, magical blanket forts to light up the night, a longing to touch the clouds, rain ruined textbooks, a heart full of thunder and lightning, cozy sweaters and coffee dates, graffiti covered walls and paint stained fingers. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty IRASCIBLE, DARING, and COLORFUL. apparently they’re a FOR THE LIGHT and HALF BLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related. ——

Hi, I’m Ro. You can message me here or on discord but honestly im too lazy to look up my name at the moment. I’m open to most any plots. the angstier the better!

character Inspo: Bay Kennish (switched at birth), Sam White (Dear White People), Jake Taylor (work it)

name: Daisy Jane Hookum

nicknames: DJ, Deej,

wand: dried grapewood vine, sliver of moonstone core, 10 1/2 inches, slightly springy

orientation: polyamorous pansexual

clubs: creature club, stargazing

About Deej

Her parents wanted a child so much, they had been trying for years and when Deej was abandoned at their front door they didn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. They never kept her orgins a secret and while kids at school teased her and made fun of her for being unwanted she knew that was false.

Deej was never a quiet child. She was loud and rambunctious. Her parents would often send her on runs to try and get her extra energy out, though it never worked. Though now when she’s stressed or feeling too much she goes for a run to try and deal. doesn’t work but it calms her down. she did alot of running last summer.

Deej’s life at hogwarts was not at all what they expected. they had had it good with the Hookum, a couple of pure bloods who tried to shield Deej from the purist mentality. Though they couldn’t hide it from Deej once they were at school. It Hit them in the face. Deej got into three duels in their first 2 weeks of school, which made them learn that they need to find a different way to fight injustices.

Being sorted into hufflepuff was no real surprise to anyone who actually knew Deej. She was kind hearted and loyal to a fault. Though she still gets a bit of flack for as loud as she is. People from other houses however tell her she’s too agressive, too boisterious, not soft enough to be a hufflepuff. She tells those people to Fuck off, maybe proving their point...

Deej always knew the story of how she came to be with the Hookums but there was never alot of information. They didn’t know who her parents were or why she was left. At least none of them did till last summer. Eloise Zabini turned up at their door and told them the story. It felt like a nightmare and it only got worse as the Hookums made her spend the summer with her birth family in London.

Summering in London was the worse. The Zabini family, other then her mother and half sibling, didn’t want her there. She almost left so many times but her parents made a good point before she left. If she didn’t give this a chance she would always wonder who her people were and where she came from. Now she doesn’t have to wonder. The Hookums are 1000% better people then the Zabini’s

As soon as the school year started she joined For the Light and like everything in her life, she isn’t quiet about it.

Head Cannons

you can always find Deej outside when it is raining. She will routinely skip class for a warm rain.

She’s an artist, though she’s reluctant to call herself that. Often distributing propaganda pieces against purists (if you know liberal jane think her peices) She was actually caught doing graffiti; a call to action for FOR THE LIGHT, when she was caught by someone in the organization and asked to join. Deej didn’t even need to think about it. She said yes with her fingers still stained red.

She is bright, though not very good at school. the only subject that can hold her attention for longer then a minute is Charms and even that she’s doing poorly in.

If an aesthetic was assigned to her it would be goblincore. She loves mushrooms and frogs.

She has an amazon milk frog named Echo, she carried it everywhere.

calm is not a word you would use to discribe Deej. She’s a bit of a hothead and not one to sit quietly by while injustice is happening. She has spent more then her fair share in the hospital wing.
