Since returning home from Greece, Tory had been going through the motions and had barely spoken a word to anyone. Her father and brother kept looking at her with disgust, and her mother had only spoken to her that morning to tell her that the Rosiers were coming and to look presentable, but then she had left Tory alone. Tory was dreading their visit, she didn’t think that she would be able to fake it in front of them, and all she could hear were Christos’s screams every time she closed her eyes. More than anything she wished that she could go back and change things, she wished that she didn’t go to see him that night. Then maybe…maybe he would still be alive. It tore something inside of her every time she thought about it. Evan’s knock at her door startled her, and she scrambled up and went to the door. “Hey,” she greeted him with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “It’s good to see you. We spent some time at the beach and we went to the Parthenon which was kind of cool. It was nice. How was your trip?”
evan had never had that much fun of a time when it came to family holidays and he had his parents to blame for that. it was always some kind of alternative plan for his father to do business with foreign officials and spinning it in some way where the family could go. his youngest sibling always had more fun than him and jess and he was fine with that, the two eldest had always been closer than most but this last holiday was spent in a lot of silence and looking over at each other wondering when it would get better. he can hear from the hallowed halls his mother making pleasantries with tory’s mother and he knew that he was meant to eventually be married to tory but he was trying to prolong as much as possible given the political climate and the fact that: evan had no idea what he was doing with his life much less getting married. when she opens the door he gives her a soft smile before entering and shoving his hands in his pockets listening to her adventures. “we went to romania.” he says with a sigh, “it was more my father’s business than anything.” he shakes his head now, rolling his eyes. “parthenon, yeah?” he had heard many things but never experienced himself. he had looked over at her for a moment before he walked towards her bed and sat down. “i brought you something.” he had grabbed it from his small bag that he had brought. “they’re chocolates, though maybe i’m biased and say that ours are better.” it was meant to be a nice gesture but he didn’t know if it came across that way. “are you alright?” he asks, it’s not that he would clearly know if she was being herself, but she seemed much sadder now than when they had last seen each other at a family dinner party. “did you get into any kind of chaos you want to spare? our trip was pleasantly boring.”

closed - evan rosier.
all she had seen was FIRE – the heat was what stunned her awake from the trance that was the first explosion, her ears ringing –
“fuckin’ hell —” relieved when her fingers found her wand – directed at the monster of a fire, “aguamenti –” glancing back to see her partner, "evan, get the hell up – i can’t contain it by myself” more relieved than she could describe to see the man in one piece.
@evanrcsiers
he had been thrown back, into what? he wasn’t sure, but he couldn’t see anything for a minute the smoke clogging his throat and his eyes. he remembers closing them for a moment and when he had woken up again there was screaming, he had forced himself to get in upright position trying to look around for anyone that he knew, the impact of the hit had discombobulated for him for a moment before hearing the sound of emme’s voice in the crowd. he snapped right up then, shaking it off and grabbing his wand that was still, thankfully, on his person and pointing it towards the monster fire looking around him again and shaking his head. “what the fuck just happened?” he says, still coughing up smoke.

throwback of summer, 1971 / @torygreengrass
the greengrass house had been one that he had been to plenty over the years, their families been close friends and a betrothal hanging over both of their heads. his mother had come with gifts of the rosier family vacation that they took themselves on, and he could honestly say that it wasn’t very fun, but he tried to make it that way for his siblings. by the time they had arrived to the house he had gotten that cold chill that he always seemed to get in big estate manors, too much room, too much space, not enough light to fill the voids of the long halls. he had knocked once on tory’s door before knocking again. “it’s evan,” he says, never really know what to say or how to act around tory—its not that they didn’t not get along—and evan could say they were friendly enough but that was about it. “how was your trip? did you do anything fun?”

“Oh f- duck!” Ned bellows, barrelling his way over to the stands atop his trusty Comet 220 and slamming his bat hard into the rogue bludger that comes just inches away from taking someone’s head off.
he hadn’t realized it until it was almost too late, he had ducked seeing the bludger just a second before it had hit him square in the face, “thanks,” he breathed out a sigh in relief before shaking his head, “are you alright?” he had placed a hand on his arm, trying to assess any damage knowing he wouldn’t be able to do much either way.

“what can you tell me from what you saw?” evan had asked the young wix, there were a lot of things happening behind the scenes, but had genuinely cared about their opinion of what they had seen, “do you need me to help you with that wound?” he eventually asked, seeing that they hadn’t gotten the wound looked at.

she happily sat down at the table in the kitchen on this strangers flat, something she should’ve been more cautious of, but what else did she have to lose. the greatest thing was how nice he seemed, and that his actions actually showed them other than those of the woman who did this to her. ❝ messed with the wrong person, i suppose, ❞ she said with a half sniff of a laugh as a stray tear fell down her cheek. she wiped it away before the other handed her the warm cup. she let her hands wrap around its heat as she stared down at the cloudy liquid. ❝ she knew i needed to be at that meeting, too. do you think somethings going to happen to me ? since i didn’t show my face ? ❞ that’s what she was the most petrified for.
if it had been up to him he would’ve chosen a different kind of career path, maybe playing on some quidditch team and things would’ve been easier, but because of who his father was all of that seemed impossible now and he didn’t know what to do with it. when he looked at the girl it had reminded him of his younger sister, one that he would do anything to protect from this world even if she was moving up in the ranks much faster than he did when he was her age. what he sees now is a scared girl trying to make it through day by day. “i’m not that great at healing spells but i can do my best,” he offers with a small smile, grabbing his wand. “that always seems to be the case, doesn’t it?” messing with the wrong person, there were many death eaters that took the kill because they could but not because it mattered. he used to think that he’d be one of them but now he couldn’t see much of a reason to. it was all just so useless, the whole thing. he hears her worries and he shakes his head. “not if i have anything to do with it.” he says, now vowing to himself to protect this girl that felt like she had the world on her shoulders. “i’m evan, by the way,” he says, grabbing a wash cloth and the bowl of water and reaching out to dab some of the dried blood. “i can try and keep you safe as much as i can,” since he was more trusted than most.

her brow upturned the moment the bottom of evan’s bottle was faced towards the ceiling, challenging her to do the same. ❝ did you know i hate you ? ❞ thankfully, she was able to finish hers just as quickly before making a sour face and shaking her head. ❝ there’s somewhere else open later right ? there’s no way i’m ready to go home. ❞
“i somehow don’t believe you,” he says, his eye crinkling as he gives her a smile and attempting to finish what was left in his bottle before closing time. he had understood all too well the want to not be home, which was why he couched surfed as much as he could until he was forced to actually be home. it’s what made them so compatible. there was an understanding there that no one else got. “there should be,” he thinks, before shaking his head, “and even if there isn’t i have a bar full of things we could drink,” together, alone, he thinks before placing the glass down. “up to you.”

❝ you haven’t got to tell me what happened , ❞ rosine says as she inspects evan’s face closely now that both her hands are settled on either side of his cheeks . and with a gentleness , she tilts his head to the left - ❝ you tell me if it hurts , though . ❞ there’s that concern laced in her voice , the one that was reserved for only a few and it is not surprising that the male had crept unto that list . he’s lucky to only have a few marks , some that would disappear over night and the others fade into a light purple . ❝ and you always come to me if this happens again , okay ? i simply don’t like the idea of you getting hurt - but i’d be foolish to think i have the influence to stop it . so , you come to me when you’re hurt and i’ll patch you up every time . ❞
it had been a case gone bad, and he knew that he should’ve gone to st. mungos like someone had suggested but he had just wanted the day to be over with, there was a part of him that had thought about going back to his old home but he found himself here like he always did, using the key that was kept secret and walking in and laying in the bed until rosine had gotten home. he knew that she would see his face sooner or later and when he had tried to explain what happened he had just sighed and laid back down until she forced him to deal with it. he wasn’t very good at dealing with a lot of things as of late with how this case was going. he had been out of town for a couple times a week catching up on leads and reporting back to emmeline with what he could find. this was one of the first days that he had time for himself after the direct hit. they had casted a stinging jinx and it was finally starting to sting less by the time that rosine had looked over it. he winces slightly at her assessment smiling briefly, “you do care for me.” he says, jokingly, knowing that there was some kind of unspoken agreement between the two when it came towards caring for the other. it had always been that way. “it’s okay now,” he says, thinking that it was at least better now that he was here. he moves a hand to rest on top of her arm moving so she could get a better look at it. “i’m just tired more than anything.”

“i’m here on the basis of getting drunk and having a good time,” he says as he walks through the door with a bottle of whiskey and some food that was partly cold now, though he didn’t think that mattered as much as the whiskey. “i’ve had a long fucking week and there is nowhere i would rather be than right here,”

“ i’m not having this debate because i want to solve it , i’m having this debate because i’m right . “ she usually was — being right was second nature to one irina smirnova . . . or so she thought . and when she wasn’t right ? well , she found a way to spin it to her side : being right was , after all , easier than people thought . maybe it was her third drink talking , maybe it was the sheer boredom that seemed a staple of wixen london , or maybe it was her bubbling urge to pick a fight with the broody wix in the corner she’d caught staring at her tits twice , but whatever it may be kept her talking . a good distraction at the very least , as she set down her empty glass and motioned the bar keep for another one . " you’d do us both a favour if you admitted it and we could change the subject . "
“are you though?” at this point, evan was causing problems because he could and he had checked the wix that she was looking out, rolling his eyes at them from across the way before he turned his back to them. he grabbed the drink and pulled it closer towards him. “i like to think i know what i’m talking about given this situation but i’m willing to change the subject,” he says, not letting up, a smile still on his face as he took another drink from his pint. “you’ve been staring at them for a while now, is there something going on between you two or are they just a twat?”

a shrug graces her shoulders in response to his statement , that very smile still on her lips as she draws on a simple and content sigh . ❝ i will admit i might have been a bit of a menace until my sixth year . but after that , i swear i matured . ❞ it partly had to do with her relationship with aydin but there was no need to sit on that memory . just the thought of the other tempted to leave a sour taste in her mouth that no fire whiskey could compare to , which only encouraged her to turn on her heel when they were promised the privacy she wanted once outside . even with the difference in stature , rosine catches her hand against evan’s chest to stop in so he’s forced to look down at her . ❝ what were you like back then ? ❞ a simple question , but one she had never taken to ever imagine . the two had attended hogwarts at the same time briefly but there several years apart and oh , that felt like another lifetime . even she had been different back then . ❝ i could promise to apparate us home , ❞ but instead of even drawing the sentence further , her eyes move down towards the bottle that evan held in his other hand . instead of moving hers from the divet of his dress shirt , rosine uses her left hand to guide his arm so that she can take a drink . its with a certain purpose that she forces the drink to spill on her person . and she waits , hoping that evan catches on .
evan blocked out a lot that happened during the last couple of years of school, too much trauma with his father and relationships that lead to nowhere, it was a surprise he remembered anything that had happened. but when rosine asks the question, he doesn’t know wha to tell her. “did you?” he asks, raising an eyebrow before letting it go. “i was a bit of a menace,” most of their professors would have agreed, he had a secret relationship with a man that wasn’t ready, and josie who he swore never loved him, then his father died. he was a bit numb after that. “i had good intentions.” he finally says, watching her hand on his chest and then watching her grab the bottle of alcohol, tipping it back, he gulped and saw bits of alcohol run down her lips, past her mouth and then on her neck. he had a smirk on his lips, getting closer towards her, his hands on the small of her back bringing her closer towards her, “can’t say the same for now,” he whispers, his mouth inches from her before leaning down to lick the alcohol off of her neck and then where her shirt cuts to a close V; he looks her in the eyes, pressing small kisses where he can before he says, “i guess we’ll just have to stay here for a while,” he muses, trying to get her as close as he can; he makes small marks on her neck, tasting both the alcohol and her perfume, his hand going lower than her back to pull her close, and his hand traveling up her skirt.

My dad
was a star collapsing. The first thing
a dying star does is swell, swallows
whatever is near.
Donika Kelly, From the Catalogue of Cruelty
He lay on the couch night after night,
mouth open, the darkness of the room
filling his mouth, and no one knew
my father was eating his children. […]
What could be more passive than a man
passed out every night — and yet as he lay
on his back, snoring, our lives slowly
disappeared down the hole of his life.
Sharon Olds, Saturn

❝ since when did it become closing time ? i swear i haven’t been here that long, but i guess the empty glasses count the hours for us, yeah ? ❞
“i’m not even done with my drink,” he wasn’t that drunk, but he knew that he was pretty buzzed for his standards, the room wasn’t spinning or anything but he had quite the appetite now after all the drinks and the lack of food he ate today. “well, down the hatch,” he says finishing the rest of his drink in one gulp looking at amelia, challenging her.

“No, it’d be cost effective. Hitwix get paid.. not enough, but some money. Seagulls could be paid in chips and they’re already ready to attack.”
“some money,” he says with a humourless laugh. “could get paid more,” he muses, “especially since i’m the one who is always tasked to train your arses,” he jokes, he didn’t mind it, but the first few weeks of training were the worst trying to break every eager young hitwixes bad habits.
