Despite the thick wall of ice around herself that Mary had built brick by brick, Jan's response elicited a genuine smile from her; even if she tried to fight it and mask it with a cough. Her cheeks still burned brightly. These damn Polat's and their genes. She sometimes forgot she was a girl still, and not one of Dumbledore's empty and hollowed out soldier, even if she didn't recognise the ghost staring back in the mirror anymore. "Oh I'm not, believe me Jan. But I'm usually remembered for all the wrong reasons," Mary said to him, paired with a joking wink.
Mary nodded along to his words, humming in agreement. It was hard enough to wrap her head around the fact she had died, only to come back during Christmas of all times. And without any presents to give anyone, though she'd argue her presence alone was a gift enough. "At least we all didn't kill each other on the streets. That would've been a real bummer."
Jan's next question was a loaded one, even if he had no idea. She remembered the etchings on their tombstones, the way the edges curved around, how smooth the sides were. She remembered sitting next to Lila during their first welcome feast. How Mary had never been the older one, not until now. The way their pinkies would link and whispers about promises filled the air. How hollow she had become after their deaths; a hurricane of a girl with nothing left to lose. Mary tried to swallow the lump that formed in the middle of her throat, looking away quickly. "You could say that. Lila and I were girls together in a world we knew nothing about. I dated someone close to Jan, so we were close adjacent, but gryffindor's close like family. Always. Is that still the same here? Your house mate's being close like family? Or is that different too?" She tilts her head curiously.
His eyes caught the Christmas lights that traced the inside of the bar. The garland that draped over the bottles that lined the bar. A reminder of the holiday season and that, despite everything that was happening around people like Jan and Mary, the world still went on. Muggles and wizards alike still exchanged gifts, children anxiously ripping the wrapping off of the gift they wanted most while adoring parents watched. The world still spun.
And strangers still met in bars, just perhaps not under such unusual circumstances. "You don't seem easy to forget," he replied earnestly with a smile. Her company sure seemed to beat many of the usual ones he spent Christmas with.
He let out a short laugh. At least someone could find humor in this situation. "I think Christmas was overwhelming enough for all of us there was no need for a repeat," he said. No need for another excuse to pretend things were okay. No need to get another bloody nose.
His grandparents. They were figures he had really only known through photos, distant memories from a man who barely knew them. Essentially strangers. "Were you close with them?"

The last New Years Eve that Mary remembered was a few months after lila and jan's passing, where she'd spent it not quite alone but not with other people. Choosing to drink the night away to forget the memories of the year instead of making new memories with the people that were left behind. Despite it haunting her memory, Mary chose to spend some time outside of the place she was staying at, to perhaps get a feel of the new world around her.
She felt out of place, sitting at the bar in the three broomsticks. The booth her, Lila and Marlene would frequent were taken up by two incredibly drunk men, her usual bartender was no longer there and it didn't feel like a celebratory night. Her fingers lightly traced the rim of her glass that held amber liquid; clenching her jaw against the barrel of thoughts that were tumbling through her mind. How did I get here? Where did I go? Until a kind of familiar voice pulled her from the depths of her mind, and Mary looked up with a somewhat polite smile on her face.
It was like she was staring at a ghost ; the face and name of her best friends husband - yet an entirely different jan all together. She took a moment to respond, before clearing her throat and slipping her hand in his and squeezing gently. "I'm surprised you remembered over all the long lost reunions," Mary replied cautiously, yet the smile remained on her lips - as if she was stuck between being polite and not knowing what else to do. The old Mary would have, but it seemed to be she was still dead. "I'm sure it's nice to meet you, Jan. I would've thought you were back at grimmauld, getting acquainted with your newly revived grandparents. What a bloody christmas present, hey?"
Where: The Three Broomsticks
When: December 31st
Who: @siinvrs
New Years Eve was meant to be a joyous occasion. A time to drink and sing Auld Lang Syne at the top of your lungs despite your parents' wishes to keep your voice down while they were sleeping. With Daisy purposefully stating she had other plans that didn't involve him tonight and no family or Order celebration in sight (indeed, what exactly was there to celebrate at the end of an abysmal year?) Jan found himself lost.
A drink in his hand, not exactly sure what and not entirely caring, he retired to the bar before noticing a face not entirely unfamiliar to him.
"I know you," he said in leiu of a greeting. "Mary, right? I saw you at Christmas." You were dead, he almost let slip his lips before he remembered his manners. He plucked out his hand for a shake. "Jan, in case we were never formally introduced." It's my fault you're back.

she lets out a tinkle of a laughter at sirius' words, shaking her head in mild amusement. " well, it wouldn't be the first time, would it? curses tend to tickle in the end. " mary is glad to have him back, at least - well, she's glad to have everyone back, even if she doesn't know how to bloody talk to any of them, so she clinks glasses with him and pretends that everything is okay, and she's not drowning.
it's not fine, but mary decides not to push on it, merlin forbid mary allows sirius to have another dramatic moment in one night. " surely there's more to be grateful for. hey - maybe this time round, we won't die sudden tragic deaths we can't remember. there's always a bright side to things, apparently. " this, mary wasn't sure, unable to shake the very off feeling inside of her since the night they all came back.
" careful, macdonald. i wouldn't go advertising your intimate knowledge of you-know-who's proclivities. you might end up on the receiving end of a nasty curse. " and just like that, the tension breaks. sirius dutifully clinks his bottle against her champagne flute and takes another sip, waggling his eyebrows.
" it's fine. " fine is a bit of a stretch. his side is still tender with phantom pains, and he's still going to be quietly vexed about the fact of his so-called friends having lost faith in him for the foreseeable future, but he's content to stew in his feelings for now. " i get it. but merlin's balls — if that's all i have to be grateful for, the bar is subterranean. "

sirius black was never a name on mary's list of people to fight, but watching his initial reaction to her question causes a half-smirk to dance at the edges of her lips, almost as if she welcomed it. " bloody merlin, have you always been this dramatic? or is this a new undiscovered personality trait we're just unearthing right now? i always thought he was into freaky shit like that , though. " she pauses for a few moments for dramatic effect, as if mary was waiting for the weight of her words to sink in. she takes another sip of champagne while silently sizing sirius up just in case things did get ugly.
but sirius was also the one person that understood her love for the polats, sirius was jan's brother just as lila had been her sister. " oh i don't know, that it was better to ask first before swinging? forgive me for not inciting violence the first time laying eyes on you, i'm sooo horrible. " mary huffs out with a pout, before muttering out a rather quiet " i'm sorry. that wasn't fair of me. " offering her half empty champagne bottle as a flag of truce.
25 DECEMBER 2030 / 𝟏𝟐 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄
a beat passes between them in silence. it's unreasonable, maybe, but the question causes sirius' eyes to darken a shade; his mouth turning down into a barely perceptible grimace. " yeah, macdonald, i betrayed them. that's why i'm sitting here with a glass of champagne in my hand, making small talk with their grandkids as opposed to, i don't know, dancing naked with my bashit crazy cousin and tonguing the dark lord's arsehole. "
so much for festive cheer.
perhaps it's childish, but he's jan's best friend. his brother. he'd have sooner died than put the polats in harm's way. he sits back in his chair and downs the rest of his drink, ignoring the creeping suspicion that he's taken things too far in favour of reaching for a stray bottle of peroni. " what the fuck do you think? "

bay tree
bay tree : does your muse seek glory & accolades , or do they favour a simpler , more personal life ?
she has never wanted recognition for surviving or for successful crimes in war , nor has mary wanted the keepsake for being the last one left , until she wasn't . she had always craved a simple life ; a quiet healers life with her own practice and her pet cat . a life she never got the first time , but perhaps this was why she was back . to live the life mary never got the first time .

zinnia
zinnia : how has the loss of fallen comrades and/or loved ones affected your muse ? has it taught them anything or given them any new perspectives ?
it has defined mary in a way she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy . she had become a shell of herself ; torn between who she had been - bright , compassionate , charming - and the hurricane of a girl she had turned into . it has taught her not to keep anyone close , despite the progress she had made in her life before death mary has found herself back at square one , trying to navigate the new world while dealing with her grief from the old world .

aloe!
aloe : how does your muse handle grief ?
mary has a tendency to carry her grief around with her as if she was lugging around a suitcase , not wanting to face facts and deal with it . she will claw and scratch and beg the gods for a do-over rather than face a life without the absence of her loved ones . she learned to turn her grief into anger , and it since has been the driving force behind her reckless decisions .

mary for once in her life, has no idea how to react after waking up three days earlier from being shoved through the veil without a care. and now she's supposed to celebrate christmas? right. that fact didn't sit well with her at all, frustration peeking at the edges of her voice whenever she voiced her concerns, so mary found herself a quiet corner in the bustling and overly festive room, with a champagne bottle in hand, keeping to herself. until a familiar voice spoke up, and mary looks up slowly, turning to lock eyes with the person who supposedly betrayed everyone she loved.
" well, did you do it? " she tries not to sound accusing or hurt, when she asks him the question that had been playing on her mind since she came back. sirius had never been one for a liar, mary knew that much for sure. " and i swear to merlin, black, if you lie to me i'll throw this brick they keep calling a cellphone at your head until i can get my hands on a wand. so, did. you. betray. them?" a sentence only broken by her taking a swig of the bottle, staring at sirius expectedly, waiting.
25 DECEMBER 2030 / 𝟏𝟐 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 ( OPEN )
sirius takes a long, slow sip of his champagne and looks around ( not for the first time ) in wonder. grimmauld place, once as suitably dour and dilapidated as its name-sake might suggest, is lit up in shades of red, green, and gold; warm lights strung between the doors and curled around the bannisters. the memory of his mother, and of a childhood spent kneeling to her tyrannical regime, has never felt quite so festive.
" i've never needed a reason to get pissed, but if i did, i reckon this would be an absolute belter. "

‘ i would rather break the world than lose you . ’
‘ i think you and i have known each other in a few lifetimes . ’
‘ i didn’t know . i had no idea how greedy my heart really was . ’
‘ is that why the idea of losing you torments me so much ? ’
‘ how long have i been without you ? ’
‘ am i foolish for wanting this ? it will end in flames . it always does . ’
‘ sorry about the blood in your mouth . i wish it was mine . ’
‘ if i love you , is that a fact or a weapon ? ’
‘ tell me how all this , and love too , will ruin us . ’
‘ and you realize the one person in the world who loves you isn’t the one you thought it would be . ’
‘ it cannot be a mistake to have cared . it cannot be an error to have tried . it cannot be incorrect to have loved . ’
‘ finally , i plead guilty of adoring you . ’
‘ a child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort . ’
‘ without realizing , i find it in myself that i cannot stop thinking about you . ’
‘ tomorrow , when i wake up , i promise , i will be better . ’
‘ someone has to leave first . this is a very old story . there is no other version of this story . ’
‘ when i imagine myself , i am always leaving . i couldn’t draw my own face if god asked . ’
‘ do we simply stare at what’s horrible and forgive it ? ’
‘ i wanted to let go of the pain even though it was the last thing that felt alive from you . ’
‘ have i endured loneliness with grace ? ’
‘ i’ll be your slaughterhouse , your killing floor , your morgue and final resting , walking around with this bullet inside me ‘cause i couldn’t make you love me and i am tired of pulling your teeth . ’
‘ and then my soul saw you and kind of went , ‘ oh , there you are . i’ve been looking for you . ’ ’
‘ sometimes it feels like someone else is wearing my body . ’
‘ i spent my life arguing how i mattered until it didn’t matter . ’
‘ who knew my haven would be my coffin ? ’
‘ dead is the safest i’ve ever been . ’
‘ i’ve never been so alive . ’
‘ you know what i was gonna tell you before , but didn’t have the nerve ? you got your name written all over me . i got my name written on you , too . ’
‘ you already are something . you always were . and you still have time to be . ’
‘ you know me by heart . it infuriates me that you know me by heart . ’
‘ why am i waiting for you ? hungering and thirsting for you in every cranny of my soul and even in my ribs ? ’
‘ you came with a handful of pain and a smile which broke the ground under my feet as the earthquake does when two people meet . ’
‘ the only good thing is that i’m getting used to suffering . ’
‘ the return to time was not my choice . ’
‘ we are built to live inside each other . this means we are built to ruin . ’
‘ time does not bring relief ; you all have lied . ’
‘ time does not know how to keep our hopes safe . ’
‘ you needed me so much that you had to end me . ’
‘ there are days where i am morbidly in love with you , and this is one of those days . ’
‘ i know no end to desiring you . ’
‘ i fear that i am both too much yet not enough . ’
‘ yes , yes , yes , i do like you . i am afraid to say the stronger word . ’
‘ a heart’s a heavy burden . ’
‘ life , as i see it , is all about farewells rather than reunions . ’
‘ heaven is real and you only had two minutes to prove it to me . ’
‘ it was already love . ’
‘ everyone desires love but also finds it impossible to believe that they deserve it . ’
‘ i’ll love you until i forget how to . ’
‘ i’ll love you until i forget how to and then i’ll fall like my knees aren’t already bruised from doing it and i’ll remember why you’re worth the ache . ’
‘ of course i’ll hurt you . of course you’ll hurt me . of course we’ll hurt each other . but this is the very condition of existence . ’
‘ nothing makes me sadder and nothing makes me happier than you . ’
‘ i love you and i do not want to love you , it is too much and too difficult . ’
‘ grief is just love with no place to go . ’
‘ i felt my life with both my hands to see if it was there . ’
‘ you do this , you do . you take the things you love and you tear them apart . ’
‘ i hope it’s love . i’m trying really hard to make it love . ’
‘ if you touch me again i might burn up in the cold air . ’
‘ i asked you not to leave several times . ’
‘ i’ve only adored you lifetimes ago and here we are . it’s nice to see you again . ’
‘ all time ever does is pass and all i ever do is remember . ’
‘ i feel as though we were never strangers , you and i , not even for a moment . ’
‘ i’d choose you ; in a hundred different lifetimes , in a hundred worlds , in any version of reality , i’d find you and i’d choose you . ’
‘ nothing about this is soft but we pretend . ’
‘ maybe you and i are just a dream . ’
‘ i know you loved me too , you knew me , and it gladdens my heart . ’
‘ i promise i shall never give up and that i’ll die yelling and laughing . ’
‘ i don’t do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision . ’
‘ the world was made so that we could find each other in it . ’
‘ you don’t meet the people you love , you recognize them . ’
‘ i think you and i have known each other a few lifetimes . ’
‘ this body knows fear like a front porch knows welcome – it is always coming home . ’
‘ i miss you more than i remember you . ’
‘ if i could have done it all again , i would have loved you better . but i could not have loved you more . ’
‘ we could have been happy . i know that , and it is perhaps the hardest thing to know . ’
‘ you want a better story . who wouldn’t ? ’
