Open Starter! Marauders Verse, Astrid Cromwell (Herbologist)

As Astrid stepped outside of Dogweed and Deathcap for her lunch break, she was grateful to see that the fog that surrounded Hogsmeade early that morning had burned off into a beautiful partly-cloudy sky. At the edge of the town she could hear birds tweeting as they flitted about from tree-to-tree and she felt an indescribable peace wash over her. These were the days that she lived for, doing a job she loved and being close enough to nature that she could enjoy it in all of it’s majesty when she had a spare moment. With that thought in mind, and her small lunch basket on her arm, she headed toward the edge of town to find a bench upon which to perch and eat her lunch. 

Gaze ever toward the tops of the treeline, scanning for the signs of life from various creatures, she’d hardly realized there was anyone around until her body collided with another person’s. Instantly an embarrassed flush spread up her neck and across her cheeks. “Oh! I am so so sorry! I did not see you there! Are you all right?”

Closed starter for Gale Wright ( @starry-nxghtss​ ).

There were few aspects of her job that Astrid enjoyed nearly as much as she did the days where she was brought in through her company to be a substitute interpreter at the high school. Between her love for the job, and the opportunity to steal but a moment of Felix’s time during lunch made the gig that much sweeter. She’d been angling to get a full-time position with the school for the better part of a month but thus far only substitute things had opened up. The blonde hoped that eventually one would open, but for now she would take any chance to be here that they would throw her way. Plus, she’d gotten loads of opportunities in Windham to experience aspects of this job she hadn’t before -- in the hospital, in the city hall, and one day she was even asked to assist at the police station.

Today, though, she’d been told her assistance was needed at the high school -- in the classroom of one Mr. Gale Wright. This was not a teacher she’d had the pleasure of meeting yet and, as she always did, Astrid had spent far too much time that morning making sure she looked prim, proper and professional. Her outfit had been carefully selected to represent herself as a confident, mature individual while maintaining enough close-knit material that her hands were free to be seen and understood without pesky material getting in the way.

She thanked the lady in the office for the directions for Mr. Wright’s classroom and headed that way, intending on arriving before the students so as to introduce herself. Her black mary janes echoed in the relatively empty hallway in a calming rhythm as her piercing blue eyes scanned the doors for the correct one. It took a few minutes before she located the correct room and she gave a gentle knock before stepping inside, offering a kind smile to the man before her.

“Hi! I am Astrid Cromwell, I am substituting for your ASL Interpreter today.” As she spoke, her hands moved in time, instantly launching into her job from the first moment. “Are you Mr. Wright?”

[Astrid’s Christmas gifts for Felix. The first gift is a ‘little bag of love’, the second is a jar of chocolate body paint, and the third is a ring box - but instead of a ring it contains a key and a paper with the phrase ‘You stole the key to my heart, now here’s the key to my home!”]

Closed starter for Marcus & Astrid ( @creatvresoftheniight​ ).

There were days in her life, ever since she had been a young girl, that Astrid Cromwell found herself feeling as though she were an americanized version of Belle from her favorite Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. As a toddler, and well into her early childhood, she would often dress up in the costume and prance around her home declaring ‘bonjour!’ to any soul that she laid her eyes on. To the fact, one of the first bits of magic her mothers ever taught her was how to revive a near-dead rose and it had warmed Astrid’s heart greatly to be able to ‘remove a curse’ from the rose.

As she grew, so did her magic and she found herself greatly enjoying the horticulturalist magic that her mothers had instilled upon her. Rarely did she find herself wishing she was Belle, now finding herself to be far more strong of heart and able to care for herself -- and others -- in a way that made her proud. What she could not learn from her parents she would research in books, selecting a few stores in her small hometown with the best selection to frequent.

Since moving to Windham, Astrid had set about browsing the local bookstores in her free time. One in particular had caught her eye, and on this particularly nice day off she’d made her way there and begun to see what she could find. Much like Belle, she found herself in wonder of the stacks of books and the information that lay before her. Piling six books into her arms, barely able for her to carry, she’d made movement toward the register when she’d heard what sounded like footsteps drawing nearer. “Hello...?”

Astrid Cromwell on her 30th birthday (April 17, 2020)

Astrid Self-Para: She Don’t Wanna Marry Me

Characters --> Astrid Cromwell, mentions of Cromwell parents, ex-fiancé, and Felix ( @wildhcartcd ) Location --> Astrid’s car Time Frame --> April 13, 2020; approx. 10 pm Summary --> Astrid reflects on her brief return to Arundel, and the thoughts in her head. TW --> None

The steady sound of tires against the gravel road that lead from her family home to the main street in Arundel had always had a calming affect on Astrid. Many times that very sound had soothed her, a welcome home when she’d been away or a ‘see you soon’ as she prepared to depart for unknown lengths of time. Today, though, the sound had evoked a feeling akin to a cheese grater being dragged across her heart. 

Neither of her mothers, nor her siblings, understood why Astrid had chosen to leave when - and how - she did. Even after she explained the overwhelming anxiety she had felt at planning a wedding she was not truly invested in, and needing an escape, they did not understand. Tears had been shed, a lecture given, and the confident woman that the witch had become had drawn into herself like a teenager at odds with the world.

She wished that they would see things from her point of view, but she knew it would take weeks before the Cromwell’s would ever consider such a thing. She had, after all, left in the dead of night and been gone over a week without contacting any of them other than to say she was safe two days in. They were angry, justly so, and as the sight of the home that she had been raised in faded in the light of the rear view mirror all she could do was hope that they would eventually forgive her.

Forgiveness. How selfish of her to wish for such a thing from anyone, especially her family and her fiancé. Before she had seen her family, she had returned to the apartment she shared to pack her things and leave the ring. She had been expecting to be alone, but fate had other plans. The conversation had been difficult, each word from her lips spinning like a dagger into their heart. The ring sat between them on the kitchen table in a puddle of tears, a mix from both of them. Astrid spoke each word on her mind, an attempt to be comforting only serving to twist the knife in their heart as she did. It had been no secret that Astrid’s heart had always been torn - but to hear that she had accepted the proposal and had no intention of getting married stung worst of all. 

They had asked questions -- where had she been, why now versus sooner -- and Astrid did her best to answer each with all the honesty in her heart. She saw the pain as realization dawned, and she bowed her head as she admitted to having seen Felix again. She could feel the emotions rolling off of her ex-partner, and she longed to ease the pain but she knew that was not possible.

Her lips brushed their cheek with a whispered goodbye and her heart clenched as they flinched away from her. Astrid had never felt like such a horribly selfish person before in her life, and as she carried her bags to her car all she could hope was that this was still the right choice for her. The move to Windham was risky, most of her savings fund had been spent on the hotel and the deposit for the apartment. She had found work, thankfully, but there were still many unknowns about the situation. Normally the unknowns would eat the witch alive, but this time... they excited her.

As she pulled away from the town of Arundel, merging onto Interstate 90-E near Buffalo, she headed south east toward her new home, intent on forging her own destiny. What awaited her in the town of Windham was a mystery to her, but the chance to be in Felix’s life again was a chance she refused to pass up.
