breathe (just barely)

@xxdolohov

It was nearly silent. 

Of course, that was the general ideal for a library, but this was different. It was a hushed muffle that permeated the halls, voices never rising above a mellow chatter, laughter few and far between, immediately stifled once it escaped the lips of a smug Slytherin. It seemed that everyone at Hogwarts was desperately attempting to make up for the raging maelstrom on Saturday, lungs too tired from screaming to speak loudly the Monday afterwards. Remus was simply counting his blessings. His friends at remained unscathed with the exception of a few, and even then they were all alive and well -- as well as one could be, recovering from such a traumatic experience.

However, this small comfort did little to assuage the permanent sense of unease that prickled softly at the back of his neck. Remus could feel it creeping up on him at the periphery of his vision at all times, whether he was alone or in a crowd or attempting to study as he was now. His eyes had barely moved from the first line of the page since the beginning of the hour, his quill almost perfectly still between his fingers. Studying was a lost cause at this point, but Remus clung on to it in an attempt to retain some sort of normalcy in his life.

THE HOUSE OF MALFOY

      "It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand. Independently wealthy, with no need to work for a living, they have generally preferred the role of power behind the throne, happy for others to do the donkey work and to take the responsibility for failure. They have helped finance many of their preferred candidates’ election campaigns, which have (it is alleged) included paying for dirty work such as hexing the opposition."

MUSE CHALLENGE OO2 | A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BURKE FAMILY; 

                                       CINDY CRAWFORD AS PHILLIPA BURKE                                      ANDRE VAN NOORD AS GREGORY BURKE                                      JON KORTAJARENA AS MARCUS BURKE                                           ANDREI ANDREI AS TOBIAS BURKE                                     LEIGHTON MEESTER AS ADELAIDE BURKE

While the Burke family has always been part of pureblood high society (their name being among those listed on the Sacred Twenty-Eight), there is not a surprising lot people know about them. This is not for their lack of public appearances or social contacts, no ━ the Burke family is just incredibly private, and they prefer to keep it that way. While they have not always been this way (about eight generations they were probably one of the most well-known families out there), there is definitely reasoning behind the extreme lengths they go to for keeping their privacy. The first, of course, being their immense wealth. 

The Burke family is old money, like most of the families that shared a spot in the pureblood directory of Cantankerus Nott, but many fail to grasp just how large their fortune is. With a real estate portfolio that included properties all around the world (including two castles), at least four vaults at Gringotts (and two more in other countries, in case the economy took a turn for the worst), and a jewelry connection most museums would’ve killed to get their hands on ━ even some of the other old money families would be shocked at all the assets they possessed. 

From an early age on, it is instilled by either the parents or grandparents that retaining their privacy and never acting like the nouveau riche is the most important thing when it comes to their family. They must never speak publicly about their assets, never mention where they stored their money and how, and most importantly, act humble enough to make sure no one suspects a thing. The right families would know enough about them anyway. 

Phillipa Burke (née Parkinson), was often referred to by her mother-in-law as the child she was meant to have. While Gregory was not a disappointment in his parents’ eyes, he was not as cunning as they’d wished him to be, he had a weak spine, a tendency to let things slide by. Phillipa was the opposite, which was exactly why they had chosen her to be his match. Nowadays, she is the true matriarch of the family, the old Lady Burke having passed away not two years after Adelaide was born and Lord Burke spending most of his time running his shop. Gregory handed her the reigns to their family without so much as an argument, and Phillipa keeps them all on a tight leash. 

Marcus and Tobias Burke almost right after each other, with Marcus being the firstborn and Tobias forever stuck as the middle child. Both were complete and total Mama’s boys ━ perfectly following the path Phillipa had carefully laid out for the both of them, sorted into Slytherin, marrying respectful pureblood girls their parents had picked out for them, making their career at the Ministry while their wives stayed at home taking care of the children.. There was not much special when it came to them. 

The two boys took up quite a bit of their time, which was why Adelaide didn’t arrive until 5 years after her brothers. Phillipa had wanted a girl for so long, one she could launch into society wearing beautiful gowns and dresses, one she could see carrying the Burke jewels with pride, one she could marry off to the perfect suitor and Adelaide was that girl, for a while at least ━ but not anymore. Of course, vanity is still one of her favorite sins, but Adelaide had larger ambitions now than just looking pretty and finding a good husband, larger ambitions than both of her brothers, who had their Ministry jobs practically handed to them, and she is terrified of the moment Phillipa finally notices them.

                                           les misérables au

           [ The June Rebellion of 1832 -- The French Revolution of 1848 ]

The streets are filled with the poor, the rich pass by without any acknowledgement, preferring to spend their money at whorehouses than donating to charities hard-pressed for funds. Filled with the fire for revolution, a group of university students known as the Order rise up and barricade the streets of Paris in an attempt to free the people from the tyrannical rule of the French monarchy. They are crushed ruthlessly by the French military, slaughtered in the streets with never a proper burial, a revolution crumbling into dust.

He is left more utterly alone than ever before; a boy shunned by society for his parent’s sins, without friends to find solace in and without a place to lay his head. Yet thirteen years later, an old mentor finds him in a desolate with a whisper of hope: the phoenix of revolution has risen again from the ashes -- this time to truly establish a democracy. And so he works, and rises, and sacrifices, and hopes. He will strive so that his friends did not die in vain.

     Rodolphus was laying on the floor of the spacious living room, dark wood intertwining with the reddish strands of his hair, wand in hand and blood dripping down his lips. His head was pounding not much because of the screams but because of the words.

             “An heir should never lose.”

     Romulus’ voice spread through the room like ichor, all sense of focus and concentration returning to the boy’s brain. Rodolphus took his time to bring up his fourteen years old body, and get into a defensive stance once again. Hazel eyes squinted ferociously while dark crimson dripped down the floor. A quick healing spell and all wounds and imperfections would be gone but now something else was important. Showing strength. His father attacked as abruptly and unexpectedly as last time, a blast of orange met with a protective spell. While taking his rest, the younger Lestrange attacked his inferior just as fast and kept going. A loud groan left Rodolphus’ lips and his father only cackled back. 

     An heir should never lose, the words repeat themselves in his mind and moved his spiritual body somewhere else. In that one night, he had seen his father in action, dueling, but then also beating Rabastan. That one moment, where Rodolphus’ position as an heir did not matter. The idea of the younger Lestrange becoming a pawn in his fathers’ hands was dominating, even though Romulus always stated else — “You are born to be a leader, a king.” — yet abusing his children was all he did. Rodolphus wasn’t blind, he understood and assimilated the importance of showing strength. He would not fail and definitely show his father that what he was doing was not anything loyal towards the family.

     Perhaps the need to become a leader but not a pawn is why the older brother was still on his legs, trying to bring his own father down for mercy. It was the strive to show him he was not a figurine made of wood to be played on a chess board, that manipulators bred manipulators, but he would refuse to obey. He would lead on his own one day, Rodolphus needed no guidance or false words. When the boy snapped back to reality, a red thread of light was flying towards his leg in slow motion, the color of it specific and vague for his hazel eyes. He lunged to his right side and evaded the spell, his own wand attacking with a quick Knockback Jinx which failed to work.

     Romulus stood straight and placed his wand back in the inside of his coat, light-treading steps leading him to Rodolphus. “You need to work more.” Voice cold as ice and an undeniable expression of disappointment; his father’s hands gently landed on the boy’s shoulders, softly pressing down. The touch intensified until it became a force to be reckoned with as if the patriarch was trying to bring Rodolphus on his knees. But oh, the older brother did fight back. He forced his body back, eyes gluing to his father’s and matching his coldness. The heir knew that the finishing spell was the Cruciatus Curse but only made a mental note of disbelief. A gentle, respecting smile and a nod of his head, followed by a twirl of his wand in between sore fingers. 

                                              “It was a pleasant meeting, father.”

     Perhaps one day the two would have a duel, in which both of them would exchange curses as practice. Perhaps that’s what all fathers did with their heirs. It was a matter of time for the heir to win the duel, though — no matter the spells used.
