“i’d be upset, but the music speaks for itself most of the time i think. at least that part you liked.” she could make cherry a list of muggle terms, artists, books but that sounded like a lot of effort when they could just keep listening to records in doris’s room during the summers. “you want to start a collection? that’s so exciting! ok let’s go now then, oh cherry, how wonderful!” did she detect a hint of jealousy there? probably not, right?

           “  it’s  so  nice  to  fall  asleep  to  sometimes,  don’t  you  just  agree  ?  and  then  the  music  that  helps  you  wake  up  in  the  morning  ?  i’ve  never  been  much  of  a  music  guru,  but  i  guess  that’s  why  i  have  you,  ”  she  quirked  with  a  nudge  of  her  elbow.  “  i  want  to  start  small  —  maybe  stick  with  the  bands  or  people  i  can  recognize  off  the  bat.  i  know  these  things  can  sometimes  run  a  fortune  —  ”

Charity’s lips broke into a wide smile at the sight before her. “Yes, my grandest sacrifice.” But to her question, the girl just shrugged. “Just that the last snack you need to have on the Hogwarts express as a seventh year, must be your absolute favorite. And how tragic would it be if that were a chocolate frog? You may end up with the same card you have thirty of and it is harder to keep that memorable. So perhaps I’ve traumatized them, but it’s all well worth it.”

           cherry  cringed  slightly.  she  didn’t  mean  for  charity  to  have  to  steal  the  seventh  years  favorite  treat  on  their  final  train  ride  home,  but  the  guilt  was  also  washed  over  by  her  own  love  for  the  chocolate  goody.  “  then  i’ll  just  have  to  throw  the  others  out  and  only  keep  this  one,  ”  she  challenged  back  with  a  wrinkle  of  her  nose.  “  i’m  sure  the  poor  lad  will  be  fine,  right  ?  they’ll  soon  have  a  big  job  where  they  can  afford  tons  of  chocolate  frogs.  ”

“Well, considering Ellie fucking hates me now, Charity’s snogging my alleged fiancee and all I can think is she can do better, like merlin.. she knows he’s a dickhead, right?” She said not sure what to make of the whole situation. “Don’t get yourself into a state about this… I’ll tell her, but maybe she knows? maybe he said something? But it’s not even going to happen so what should I care who he snogs? And charity knows I hate him…” 

           “  wait,  ellie  hates  you  ?  what  happened  ?  ”  her  head  was  spinning  now.  cherry  not  only  felt  like  she  knew  a  lot,  but  also  not  enough  to  keep  up.  “  i  mean,  i  don’t  know.  i  didn’t  really  stay  for  the  rest  of  the  fireworks.  ”  she  shook  her  head,  her  hair  flying  in  all  directions,  as  a  coping  mechanism  to  get  the  sight  out  of  the  back  of  her  eyes.  she  let  out  a  deep  breath  as  ivy  told  her  to  relax  and  she  nodded  her  head  slightly.  “  okay.  i  just  think  its  best  if  you  tell  her  because  i  definitely  don’t  trust  him.  ”

“and i yours, but by now you should really know some of the lingo cherry, or i’ve failed in educating you in muggle music.” she frowned playfully. “you’re right though, should we just ditch and floo to the nearest city, find a little hole in the wall shop and strike gold?”

           “  well,  i’m  not  going  to  lie,  i  did  tend  to  space  out  during  those  talks.  the  music  was  just  so  soothing,  you  know  ?  ”  she  mentioned  with  a  small  smile  before  bursting  into  short  laughter.  “  oh,  yes  !  plus  you  can  help  me  pick  out  some  of  my  own  vinyls  —  that  way  you  and  charity  aren’t  the  only  ones  with  them  next  year.  ”

“I got the last one from the trolly.” Curls bounced as she called, hopping off the platform. “Quite literally, had to present an argument to a seventh year as to why I should have it instead.” Charity presented the treat to the friend next to her, who had desperately wanted the chocolate covered treat only moments too late. “I think a thank you is in order.”  @beforedawnstarters​

           “  thank  you  times  a  bazillion  —  ”  cherry  called  out,  grabbing  charity’s  hand  in  hers  before  accepting  the  chocolate  frog  as  a  new  prized  possession.  “  i’ll  keep  the  card  in  here  forever  in  remembrance  of  this  moment  and  your  sacrifice.  ”  at  that  point,  cherry  was  oozing  sarcasm  and  just  wanted  to  mess  with  charity  and  her  dramatics  over  the  treat.  “  now  i’m  curious,  what  was  your  argument  ?  ”

umbridolores​:

       the  curve  of  her  brow  must  give  away  her  peeved-ness ,  a  small  nod  as  cherry  explains  how  she’d  manage  to  slip  by  the  number  of  classmates  who  still  had  a  sense  of  responsibility .  “ i’d  beg  to  differ , “  still  a  dispassionate  shrug  as  dolores  leans  against  the  post  of  her  bed .  her  gaze  is  fixated  on  the  brunette .  “ i’d  recognize  you  easily ,  even  without  someone  saying  your  name .  it’s  easy  when  there’s  so  many  valentines .”   the  distant  cadence  of  her  voice  is  the  bitter  result  of  their  previous  affair .  cherry  couldn’t  know  that  there  was  still  a  small  part  of  her  that  still  wished  the  best  for  the  valentine .  “ that’s  precisely  why  you  should  watch  yourself , cherry .  people  talk  and  i’ve  heard  that  not  long  ago  some  muggleborn  managed  to  peeve  someone  here .”

           the  shrug  of  her  shoulders  were  paired  with  a  small  sigh.  cherry  thought  dolores’  reasonings  were  ridiculous.  not  only  were  the  valentines  an  entire  family  of  adopted  kids,  but  that  meant  their  blood  status’  were  vastly  different  as  well.  yasmine’s  pureblood  status  never  made  her  treat  cherry  any  different,  so  why  did  dolores  feel  a  need  to  warn  her  ?  what  cherry  didn’t  know  was  her  naivete  and  insistent  need  to  trust  everyone  would  result  in  much  worse  than  what  dolores  was  warning  her  against.  “  so  what  are  you  saying,  lola  ?  you’d  recognize  me  and  do  nothing  about  it  if  someone  tried  something  ?  ”  her  eyebrows  were  knit  in  confusion,  hoping  it  wouldn’t  be  true  if  that’s  where  she  was  heading.  “  someone  got  hurt  ?  why  —  just  for  not  being  born  to  wixen  ?  don’t  you  get  how  ridiculous  that  sounds.  ”  the  questions  never  ending.

Ivy looked at cherry a bit worried, unsure what was going to happen, she listened tot the story intently focused and shook her head. “I mean I meant too, but is that really it? fuck, you had me scared,” She said with a bit of a relief. “There’s nothing to tell…we’re going to have this shit ended by the summer solstice, we better… it’s not like we love each other and he’s snogging someone else… it’s not going to happen.” She said stubbornly as put her arms firmly on the other girl’s shoulder.

             “  but  —  ”  she  began  to  stutter.  “  you’re  not  worried…  at  all  ?  i  mean,  shouldn’t  charity  know  ?  even  if  your  engagement  is  ended  by  the  start  of  next  term  ?  ”  her  stomach  was  in  knots.  she  understood  why  ivy  didn’t  care,  it  seemed  to  make  sense  with  her  personality.  and  maybe  cherry’s  nerves  made  sense  with  hers.

         “  a  howler ?”  it  sounds  silly  to  even  repeat ,  especially  as  yasmine  is  reminded  of the  amount  of  voice-automated  letters  she  had  received  in  the  past  year  alone .  however ,  it’s  not  her  turn  to  judge -  she’d  always  known  that  cherry  would  struggle  without  her  nearby .  the  pair  were  probably  the  least  expected  to  mesh ;  opposites  even  down  to  the  molecular  level .  her  hand  moves  from  her  lap  to  join  with  cherry’s  hand ,  a  tight  squeeze  given  before  she  continues :   “  i’ll  send  you  all  the  letters  you  want .  i’m  sure  once  i  start  to  make  some  of  my  own  gold ,  i’ll  be  able  to  afford  sending  you  a  gift  or  two  ,  as  well .  plus ,  you’ll  be  able  to  meet  me  in  hogsmeade  too .”  she  continues  to  list  hopeful  ideas  to  her  sister  as  she  notices  the  tear  that  threatens  to  wet  cherry’s  cheek .  it  was  yasmine’s  intention  to  keep  her  hand  intertwined  with  her  sister’s  for  a  moment  longer ,  fully  hell  bent  on  supporting  her  sibling  through  anything  until  there’s  the  vague  mention  of  amycus .   her  hand  retracts  back  to  her  side  peacefully ,  the  twinge  it  provided  magnified  in  the  way  she  moved  to  immediately  clear  her  throat  before  speaking  once  more .  “  that’s  exactly  how  i  felt ,   yes ,  but  i’m  almost  positive  that  whoever  this  is  won’t  end  up  in  the  same  way .”  there  is  sincerity  laced  in  her  words ,  even  if  they  do  hurt  to  say .  “ who  is  it , exactly ?”

           cherry  could  only  muster  a  small  smile  on  her  lips,  the  outer  corners  quivering  only  slightly  and  only  for  a  short  while.  “  okay,  ”  she  whispers.  “  but  please,  no  gifts.  save  your  money  to  buy  yourself  something.  you’ve  done,  and  still  do,  way  too  much  for  me.  ”  she  was  never  sure  how  she  would  ever  be  able  to  repay  yasmine  for  the  gratitude  she  had  shown  her.  yasmine  easily  could’ve  hated  cherry  —  she  was  the  girl  who  came  into  the  valentine’s  life  later  and  with  no  idea  what  to  expect.  she  was  just  thankful  it  became  a  real  family.  she  felt  her  stomach  knot  at  the  sudden  retraction  of  yasmine’s  hand.  cherry  had  never  been  the  best  at  keeping  her  questions  to  herself,  or  knowing  the  right  time  to  bring  anything  up,  and  now  was  one  of  those  moments.  i’m  sorry,  she  wanted  to  say  in  place  of  the  emptiness  in  their  hands,  but  a  simple  nod  of  her  head  was  all  she  could  give.  and  at  that  point  she  was  too  disappointed  in  herself  to  be  excited  about  telling  her  sister  about  dianna,  but  she  muster  up  the  excitement  to  do  so  anyway.  “  her  name  is  dianna  hooch  —  she’s  in  gryffindor.  she’s  incredibly  kind  and,  well,  i  just  hope  she  likes  me  too.  ”  she  mentioned  as  she  pressed  her  lips  together  to  fight  a  worried  smile.

bouncing to the music, dianna was sure she looked a mess but she didn’t care because she was having fun and cherry was right there with her. she wasn’t sure what her feelings were toward the other, they were friends of course and dianna had met with disaster last time she got feelings for a friend. but she was more than willing to take the risk again, what was life without a bit of risk? cherry was gorgeous and she had blushed but maybe dianna was too eager to move on, she shouldn’t make any decisions while drunk. “me, a professional?” she laughed, what a thought. “is that an option?” she said into cherry’s ear. 

           cherry  was  overly  giddy.  she  couldn’t  help  the  way  dianna  made  her  laugh  or  the  way  she  so  easily  gave  cherry  butterflies  in  her  stomach.  the  night  was  going  better  than  she  could  have  ever  planned  —  it  was  the  perfect  way  to  end  out  a  year,  and  it  just  made  her  anticipate  what  would  come  of  the  next.  especially  if  dianna  would  be  more  involved  in  it.  “  if  i’m  the  judge,  i’d  say  you  are  !  ”  she  answered  loudly  over  the  music  as  she  spun  dianna  in  her  place.  “  hey  !  come  with  me  to  get  some  water  ?  ”

Ivy was chatting up a seventh year who’d looked like he was trying to be way more friendly than she’d been expecting, after all she is engaged, or going to be? or was? she really didn’t know and he was kind of boring her, she turned from the boy relieved to see cherry. She nodded, suprised at the tone cherry was using, she took her hand and lead them away from the crowd. “what’s wrong? You look like you just saw peeves kissing the grey lady, are you alright?”

           she  couldn’t  help  the  awkward  laugh  that  left  her  lips  as  she  looked  around  the  two  to  make  sure  there  was  no  one  eavesdropping,  especially  someone  like  ellie.  “  no,  but  i  did  witness  two  other  people  kissing,  ”  she  started.  “  so  i  was  going  back  up  to  the  towers,  right  ?  i  needed  to  grab  something  to  show  one  of  my  sisters  and  when  i  snuck  in  —  oh,  you’ll  never  guess.  ”  she  added  clutching  ivy’s  sleeve  while.  “  i  saw  éric  and  charity  kiss  on  the  couch.  please  tell  me  you  told  her…  ”
