marlene couldn't help the grin on her face at the sight of remus lupin being on the fun side of tipsy. "i'll keep that in mind," she started," not admitting that she did, in fact, know that about a long island iced tea. she didn't want to ruin his buzz when it was clear that this was a much-needed night for him to relax a bit. "i think you are definitely drunk," she continued, "and it's just sad that i'm not right there with you." it was also something she fully planned on fixing immediately as she held up her bottle of firewhiskey and took a sip that burned less now than it had when she'd started it. "don't worry. i can catch up pretty quickly."

" did you know . . . " words were already slurred and remus lupin, surprisingly and rarely, was a bit intoxicated, " that a long island iced tea . . . " he inched closer to the person nearest him, " doesn't actually have tea in it? " the wolf shook his head in disbelief, despite the fact that he was now a bartender, he had a lot to learn. " so don't . . . don't get the long island iced tea if you want tea. learned that the hard way and now i think i'm drunk? "

andromeda had already seen her parents at the event and had done her best to avoid them, not that they would have spoken to her anyways. she'd done her best to avoid of the crowd that she'd grown up with, but hadn't managed quite to avoid her own sister. if she were willing to admit it, she'd subconsciously searched for both bellatrix & narcissa in the hopes of running into them solo rather than surrounded by those who would undoubtably pry them apart. "they are rather cute," she admitted softly, looking at the thestral instead of her sister and just hoping that narcissa would stay long enough for a civil conversation before they would be pulled in separate directions once again. "you always did have a soft spot for the creatures people are frightened of though. i've always admired that about you."

open !  where : thestral night flight .

narcissa had been waiting by the side of the line with the thestrals that were grazing in the grass, she smiled down at the little babies grabbing the treats that she seemed to always carry on hand for the baby dragons. grabbing them out of their pocket they reached a hand out for the baby thestral to take thumb rubbing it's forehead. "honestly, they're very cute creatures." she says looking up, "if you can't see them there's a baby right here." she didn't know if she actually wanted to go on the ride, but this was a far enough place away from her mother and father who were undoubtedly searching for her.

"there's no way!" marlene's claim was followed by a rather healthy drink of whatever the spiked punch of the night had been. it wasn't like she had an early morning tomorrow to worry about. well, she did have quidditch practice, but she was always late for that anyways; being 'fashionably' late was one of her many charms. but marlene swore up and down that the ghost wouldn't leave the halls of hogwarts for something like this, and marlene had had her fair share of unpleasant run ins with moaning myrtle that she wasn't eager to repeat. "but if she did, do you think any new gossip from hogwarts? i bet she'd know exactly who's boning who in the broom closets."

closed ; lily & marlene . ( @bewitchcd )

lily is more surprised that the pair found seats in the three broomsticks than by the rather obtuse quantity of spiked punch left despite watching students grab their second and third drinks elvishly . ❝ you reckon that moaning myrtle will actually show ? i've never seen her wander from the second floor . ❞ lily was more intrigued to see the apparition of the ghost she had seen the most at her time of hogwarts . moaning mrytle never really said much to lily when she'd wander into the second floor girls' bathroom between classes but she'd always listen before vanishing . ❝ and i wonder what ghost story she's going to draw up . ❞

andromeda turned her head slightly so he couldn't see her attempt at keeping herself from laughing. it definitely wasn't the best carved pumpkin at the contest, but it certainly wasn't the worst ( upon second glance, it may have been, but she never would have told him that ). but there was a certain charm to it that she couldn't help but to love. it was such a simple thing, carving pumpkins, and yet ted somehow made it feel like this monumental event. "no, of course you shouldn't forfeit," she insisted. "yours has..." her voice trailed off as she tried to think of an inoffensive way to phrase it, "character," she finally finished, though even she winced at the word choice. "yours has far more heart in it than the others, i'm sure."

closed ; ted & andromeda ( @bewitchcd )

there was definitely no artistic bone in ted's body , but that had not stopped him from entering the pumpkin carving content . by the time ted had finished using his wand to slice the last eye , it looked like it was victim to a rather gruesome massacre . he'd gone for a rather traditional muggle style , he realized as he peered around to the other tables . even the wixen children were urging their parents to charm their pumpkins appropriately . ❝ i should just forfeit , no ? ❞ ted asks the rather beautiful witch sitting at the table beside him . ❝ just tell me the truth - i promise it will only shatter my confidence a little bit . ❞

andromeda was born the middle of three daughters. it's a position that seemed to have more of an impact on her than she would care to admit. always caught in the middle, between her sisters, between her family, between right and wrong, between the 'truth' she was raised with and the knowledge that it was all lies told to malleable children who were too young and trusting in their parents to know the difference. however, being the middle child afforded her the gift of semi-invisibility and the time to explore herself through adolescence, her teen years, and after her time at school.

her early years were filled with a great many expectations. it was stressed that it was of the utmost importance, her sole duty, to continue their most noble lineage. toujours pur. always pure. it was far more than just a motto; it was their way of life, permeating every encounter and experience. it was what she’d grown up with, written in stone and blood. how could it not be true?

her time at hogwarts was far more liberating in ways she never could have imagined. it meant not constantly being surrounded by the cold walls she grew up with. it meant meeting people so far removed from the way she'd grown up that it was nearly a culture shock. although she never believed those without pure blood should be treated horribly, she began to realize blood was just blood; it didn't mean anyone was truly better than another. blood purity didn't mean shit, not really. they were all just witches and wizards trying to make their way in this world.

for a while, she kept up her mask, the one she'd so carefully created as a child. it was easier that way; if no one knew the real her, then there was no one to be disappointed with what was underneath. it became a way of protection for andromeda; the less people knew, the better. her peers could see something changing, and she was sure her family could too. the mask slowly began to crack.

"the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." in a way, andromeda envied bella & cissy; they seemed so certain of their places in life. it made the indecision she was faced with significantly more difficult. and once the choice was made, she knew there was no turning back even as she so desperately wanted to turn around to them and tell them to come with her.

and now, despite having seemingly made her choice, andromeda still feels caught in the middle, between the path she's chosen & the family s

aesthetic : staying up all night to see the sunrise just to make sure it still comes up; having a heart full of fire offering warmth to those close and scorching remarks to those in the wrong (life is trying to douse your fire, but you refuse to lose your spark ); people call you fickle & you laugh in their face ( who would ever want to be known as predictable? ); always having to be the loudest voice in the room even if you have nothing to say, denial doesn't suit you nearly as well as optimism did; glitter in your hair from the night before; you had always been convinced in happy endings, but now it feels like the end, and there’s no happy ending in sight.

marlene wants to always be the life of the party, making others happy while keeping anything serious away from her little bubble. in a way, she was determined to focus on the moment rather than the big picture. slowly the energetic and impulsive child, grew into a woman that was a force to be reckoned with. she was energetic, unpredictable, and completely untouchable by the troubles of this world. 

marlene is in a lil bit of denial rn. like understanding she can't be complacent, but also not wanting to be involved at the same time. she's on the fringes of it because her entire family and most of her friends are part of the order so she's not neutral and is helping the order out when she can, but she’s worried about her family getting caught in something they aren’t ready for.

marlene operates under the life motto "i'm here for a good time, not a long time"

at one point wanted to become a magizoologist if playing quidditch professionally didn't work out, but thankfully for all the poor animals her dream did come true, and she satisfies her love of creatures through the pets she has.

fully expected to be put into ravenclaw because let's face it, there's no one more clever than she is ( total lies ).

adores her family, but has always felt like her path was very different from theirs or that she was letting them down in some way. both of her brothers followed in their father's footsteps while she's out here doing her own thing.

takes polaroids of friends at very inopportune moments just for the memories, but fully threatens her friends ( jokingly ) that she'll release them.

has two ferrets named cherrie and chewie that she absolutely adores and would do anything for. she regularly brings them out for adventures with her. she poorly knits them little hats and sweaters.

has had her grumpy old cat apollo since her first year at hogwarts. her previous cat had just died the summer before she was going to go and she insisted she had to have an animal or she'd be made fun of. so her mother got her a kitten. and he was always the same grumpy old man he is now even then.

more coming soon!
