@wolfstarmicrofic September 15 - prompt 15: DADA Class [word count 508]

“Hurry up and get in pairs, one boy and one girl please!”

Marlene sighed as she dropped the two volumes on Kappas on the desk and sat down. By her side, Sirius rolled his eyes.

“Why can’t we just be with the same gender,” he grumbled, taking a fresh roll of parchment out. “No offense, McKinnon.”

“None taken, Black. As long as you get us both a good grade on this essay.”

“Please,” Sirius smirked. “You know I live at the top of the class.”

“Yeah, along with Lupin, Potter and Lily.”

“I love switching places.”

“Come on ladies and gentlemen, get to work,” the Professor clapped her hands. “You have two hours starting now.”

They were barely through their introduction, Sirius putting the calligraphy that had been drilled into him since he had started writing to good use when a whacking sound made them both raise their heads from their books. To their right, James was looking down, a red bruise blooming already on his cheek while Lily was putting a heavy book back on the desk, her green eyes blazing with anger.

“Of the dangers of mixing sexes,” Marlene rolled her eyes, wondering what new obnoxious thing Lily would later on tell her and Mary James had said.

“Leave us with our peers and no one gets hurt,” Sirius sighed.

But when she turned to look at him, he wasn’t looking at James and Lily. His gaze was focused one desk over, to where Mary was pointing at a page while Remus nodded. To be more precise, Marlene mused, Sirius’s gaze was fixed on Remus, as if he didn’t want to miss any movement the other boy made, be it a bare flutter of eyelashes. And there was something, there in Sirius’s eyes, something so tender and so sad at the same time. Something Marlene recognised instantly, something she had seen quite often while looking at herself in the mirror. Marlene hadn’t told anyone, despite the number of times either Lily or Mary had had to nudge her back to reality when she got lost looking at Dorcas Meadowes across the Great Hall. She had a hunch her friends knew but she still hadn’t said the words out loud. She didn’t know if she was ready for that. She didn’t know if she would ever be. But this, this was different. This was a pull she couldn’t ignore, and didn’t want to, like finding a long-lost brother again when you didn’t have any hope left.

Sirius finally looked away from Remus and back at her desk and at her, catching her looking at him. He blushed slightly, his hand already moving in a dismissing manner. Marlene didn’t stop to think, the words coming out of her mind as the easiest thing on Earth.

“You too?” she whispered.

Sirius stared at her, then slowly nodded. They smiled to each other, a new form of relief washing over their faces.

They didn’t get a good grade on their essay. They didn’t care, not really. They weren’t alone anymore.

fun fact! Ivory Wraith says, "You are wedded to calamity" only if you've gone through the rite of promise with Sydney

Wait for real?! :0

That’s actually super interesting. Especially since if you consider the opposite outcome (rite of defilement) ends in Sydney becoming possessed (possibly by ivory themselves) in the prayer room 🤔

It’s also weird how the two of them have the same phrase..

“Together as one”. “Forever as one”

Does that mean ivory has connection to Sydney…?

(high love wraith will be softer, i think. encounters with it will always start with a gentle brush of cheek, a firm - but not painful - grip on the arm, a soft kiss on the forehead, the neck, and the lips, and whispered words of affection. if u stole its necklace then perhaps it'll start off a little rougher to tease. a reminder of your sin against it. but it'll always, always only take one apology to see its face shift to a softer expression before it continues. i like to think that encounters with it will be more frequent. its powers may not be as potent as they are during blood moon, but it will try to make an effort in making its presence known to you. ofc, i don't think it can control what u will feel whenever u feel its presence (the | + stress | +trauma during encounters since u can't really… do a consensual encounter w it while it's in town), but it likes to be with u! it likes to be known! be perceived! you intrigue it. deeply so. is it wrong to wish to be in your presence at most times? if u have set romantic partners, it'll def try to possess them (more often). it makes/can make you uneasy, but this is the only way it can experience what it is to be in a relationship with you. must u really deprive it of this feeling?

also if somehow, by some miracle, wraith became an li… i rlly, rlly want for there to be a chance to gift it smth lol. esp if u stole its necklace. maybe ur gift will not be as valuable as its ivory necklace, but… idk. it could be a chance for pc to apologize with them taking the initiative instead of just taking care of ur children (tentacle/slime/im not sure if it applies otherwise?) and allowing it to control u during the elk street event? i think it'll be nice. maybe. ur gift can't possibly replace what u stole from it and it might not make it as happy as u want it to be but it's still an act of love! from u to it! depending on its love, the gesture can be insulting as it might take it as u belittling the value of its precious necklace, but otherwise it'd appreciate it still.)

Day 98 of Writing Something Everyday

(365 Day Challenge)

I'm jealous of your phone,

And how it gets held, how it sees your face first thing every morning.

I'm jealous of your bed, how it holds your body - the sheets that entangle you.

I'm jealous of your dog and how he gets to cuddle you.

I'm jealous of your toilet seat as it gets more action.

I'm jealous of your toothbrush, and all the things you do with it.

I'm jealous of the water that washes over your bare skin in the shower and the soap that lathers upon you.

I'm jealous of every doorknob you touch as it gets to hold your hand.

I'm jealous of the mug you use and how the rim gets to touch your lips, how the side gets licked when a drip gets away from you.

I'm jealous of your floor and walls, oh how I wish to be fly.

I'm jealous of the buttons you press and the edge of your kitchen counter.

I'm jealous of the cashier that tells you to have a nice day, as they get to hear your voice.

I'm jealous of your car because you're inside of it and not me.

I'm jealous of the food you consume, how I long to be your mouthful.

I'm jealous of the sweaters you choose as they get to hug you.

I'm jealous...

I'm jealous...

I'm jealous for I long to trade places with these things - just to be near you.

I'm jealous...

I'm jealous...

Wip Wednesday ☔️

I was tagged by @daffi-990 @jamespearce9-1-1 and @eowon thank youuu 💛

Still got the ski fic to finish but I've been posting and writing about nothing but Christmas stuff in weeks, so instead please enjoy some Eddie and Lena from the mudslide fic this time.

Eddie dug a thumb into his forehead, hoping to chase away a headache no doubt coming on with every new word being said between them. “It's not that easy.”

“Okay… why not?”

“I distinctly remember having this exact conversation before.” Eddie grumbled at her and crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned back in his chair; as if the position could somehow protect him from the scrutiny of Lena Bosko's gaze.

“Yeah and I remember you never telling me what’s really holding you back.”

“Lena…” Eddie groaned.

“Eddie.” She mocked him right back.

“It's c–”

“Complicated? Look Eddie,” she put her Jell-O cup on top of the tiny folding table by her side and leveled him with a fond but incredibly exasperated look, “I know it ain’t my business, but the guy’s been following you around like some lovesick puppy ever since I’ve known him and the two of you can't stop making heart eyes at each other wherever you go. It’s frankly disgusting to be around.”

“We don't make hea–”

“Not to mention yesterday.” She cut him off. “Eddie, come on, what gives?”

The memory of last night’s conversation in the kitchen flooded Eddie’s mind, the ghost touch of Buck’s nose against his own haunting even now. Buck didn’t lean in and Eddie… well, he definitely didn’t chicken out, but also… didn’t not chicken out either.

He sighed.

He was pathetic, wasn’t he?

“Okay, okay, fine. How about we talk about something else? Anything else other than my love life?”

“What love life?” Bosko snorted.

“Glad to see your sense of humor wasn't affected.” He deadpanned with a roll of his eyes.

I wish I had the foresight to know that I should've paid better attention or I should've asked... what cologne you wore because if I could buy my own bottle and curl up in a hoodie that at least smells like you, maybe I'd be okay.

But I didn't and I'm not.
