The Chaser Gets Chased (Chapter 4 Preview)

Author’s note: Hello again! I have finished the first scene of the last chapter of ‘The Chaser Gets Chased’ and figured I’d share it with you guys as a 1.5k long preview to the entire chapter. I’ve kept you waiting long enough - and I do feel sorry about it. Blame my French exam: I do, too.  Also: a special thank you to the anon who sent me a lovely message and gave me a much-needed kick in the butt to get started.  Anyway, do let me know what you think of this first scene and I hope to have the entire chapter finished sometime this weekend!

CHAPTER 4 - PREVIEW

The Sixth Year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws have a free period following lunch on Wednesdays and much like every other week, William Magnusson finds himself holed up in the Arithmancy section working on next week’s assignment. He’s hidden behind a bookcase filled with overly large and stuffy books that don’t seem to have been touched in decades, enjoying the solitude for as long as it’ll last. (Erik has never been good with numbers – William’s expecting his friend to come find him as soon he’s finished with his Herbology essay.)

The Ravenclaw is halfway through his Arithmancy homework when the chair in front of him gets pulled from underneath the table. When he looks up, it’s not the blonde Ravenclaw he was somewhat expecting but rather his Gryffindor best friend clearing some of the cluttered workspace for himself. Chris initially doesn’t offer any explanation for his unannounced presence and William just greets him silently before continuing with his work.

Chris seems distracted – more so than usual without his girlfriend around. He wiggles around in his seat, opens his mouth as if he’s going to say something and then closes it again, before sighing while listlessly leafing through his textbook. Frankly: he’s driving William nuts.

William understands there’s something Chris wants to say but figures it can wait: unless the castle is on fire or someone has died, the Prefect would very much like to have this assignment finished before patrols tonight. It would upset his entire week’s schedule if he didn’t. Nonetheless, Chris’s shifty behavior keeps William from completely blocking out his surroundings and because of this less-than-optimal focus, the Ravenclaw notices someone occupying the desk on the other side of the bookcase.

The student pulls a couple books from the shelves – creating a little window for William to peek through – and makes themselves comfortable to begin an afternoon of studying. When the thick robes come off and the student ties up her long blonde hair – for it is definitely a her – William catches sight of scarlet-painted lips. His heart skips a beat before a scowl creeps across his face almost subconsciously.

Chris immediately takes notice and looks around hoping to find the cause for the change in his friend’s attitude. When he too, spots the pretty blonde, the words he’s been forcing down ever since the Patronus incident burst free.

The Gryffindor taps his wand on the side of their table and casts the Muffliato-charm, filling the ears of any person who might be trying to overhear their conversation with an unidentifiable buzzing sound. Then he clears his throat, making William tear his gaze away from Noora Sætre – which isn’t as easy as it probably should be for someone who hates his fellow Gryffindor as much as his best friend claims to.

“William.” Chris snaps his fingers in the brunette’s face. “Knock it off, would you? She doesn’t even know we’re here.”

William’s scowl deepens further. “Oh, really? I suppose it’s just a coincidence then that she’s in the library at the exact same moment that I am? That she’s occupying the table next to mine? She doesn’t even take Arithmancy!”

“Since when do you know Noora’s class schedule?” Chris raises an eyebrow in surprise. William glares.

“I don’t. I just know she’s not in my class, which means she’s not in Sixth Year Arithmancy.” He states matter-of-factly. “No, you’ll see: she’s just here to bother me some more. She didn’t get the last word the last time we spoke, so she’s come to try and convince me to go out with her.”

Chris scoffs. “Maybe come off your high horse, William,” He advises. “The last time you and Noora interacted, you humiliated her in front of the entire student body. I doubt she’ll be up for a date anytime soon…”

“Huh?” William turns his harsh glare away from a blissfully oblivious Noora and faces his friend. He seems confused which in turn confuses Chris. “What are you talking about?”

“The whole ‘Boggart in Slughorn’s closet’-thing?” Chris tries. “What did you think I was talking about?”

William swallows nervously – Chris smells something fishy. “Nothing.” The Ravenclaw sputters. “That, uhm, the Boggart-thing, just like you said…”

“You’re a rotten liar, Magnusson.” Chris’s eyes have turned into slits: he’s onto something here. “When did you speak to Noora?”

“I haven’t.” William takes another look at the blonde girl. Could it be that she hasn’t told her friend – who then undoubtedly would’ve told Chris – about their thing atop the Astronomy Tower?

“Are you sure?” Chris isn’t stupid: he and William have been friends since their first trip aboard the Hogwarts Express. He knows when his best friend’s lying to him. William throws him another glare. It’s defensive – Chris takes notice of that.

“Fine. If you say you haven’t spoken to her since then, I believe you.” Chris concedes.

“Thanks.” William turns back to his work – at this rate, he’ll never be finished by the end of his free period. He can already feel his eyes itch with the lack of sleep because of Chris’s (and by extension, Noora’s) interruption.

“It’s just…” Chris continues. William groans. “If you did talk to her…”

“Which I didn’t.” William interrupts. He almost growls.

“Which you didn’t,” Chris agrees. William hates how his friend’s agreement sounds smug. “But say you did, hypothetically, talk to Noora…”

“Is there a point to this?”

“There is, if you’d just stop interrupting me.” Chris deadpans.

“Get to it, would you?”

“Don’t make me hex you, Magnusson.” Chris threateningly waves his wand. “As I was saying: say you did talk to my dear fellow Gryffindor, I hope you used your manners? Said ‘thank you’, maybe?”

“Why should I?” William doesn’t like this: Chris knows something he doesn’t. That’s never a good sign.

“Remember that dolphin Patronus in the Great Hall?” William raises an eyebrow in question. Chris elaborates. “That was Noora.”

“Huh?” Chris’s smug little smile is back on his face.

“You heard me. That little display of magic which so greatly amused you after that Magical Creatures class? That was Noora.”

“Why?” William’s shocked: Patronus Charms are notoriously difficult and a Corporeal one, like Noora had allegedly cast, requires an even greater level of skill from the witch or wizard who conjures it.

“A little birdie must’ve told her you were a little down after Professor Hagrid’s class. She probably wanted to make you feel a little better after your encounter with the Thestrals.”

“She couldn’t have sent some chocolates, like any normal person?” William doesn’t know why he can’t just accept the idea of Noora doing something nice out of the kindness of her heart.

“You’d probably accuse her of trying to poison you. Or trying to slip you a love potion.” Chris is leaning back on the hindlegs of his chair and fiddling with one of William’s spare feathers. He’s the epitome of relaxation whereas William’s body becomes tenser by the second.

“No, this is something else.” He racks his brain for some kind of ulterior motive Noora must’ve had. He finds one, too. “Merlin! This is classic Sætre-behavior! And you fell for it! Merlin, you almost had me falling for it!”

Chris is frowning as William glares through the little peephole on the bookshelf at Noora. She’s furiously scribbling away on a lengthy scroll of parchment. If that’s the Transfiguration essay they’ve got due, she’s definitely reached and foregone the required length of 2 feet. William notices how she barely looks at her notes from class or the large number of books spread out around her.

Is she really writing a Transfiguration essay for Professor McGonagall without so much as consulting one reference work? The arrogance of this girl!

“What are you talking about? Classic Sætre-behavior? Have you completely lost your mind?” Chris sounds disbelieving - almost angry - when he pulls William out of his musings.

“Don’t you see?” William is well aware that he sounds slightly maniacal when he explains Noora’s supposed motives. “She didn’t conjure the Patronus for me, she did it to show off for everyone else! To show how talented and superior she is to everyone else! I bruised her ego, so she had her ass-kissers sing her praises and make her feel better about herself!”

Chris’s mouth is left hanging open: who is this narrow-minded individual ranting and raving in front of him and what happened to his best friend, the rational and level-headed guy he knows?

“Are you serious right now?” He finally voices. “Because if you are, you ought to know that I am about to punch you. Hard. Repeatedly.”

The crazy look in William’s eyes dims somewhat. Chris continues. “I don’t know what happened the last time you spoke to Noora, but it has rattled you. She hit a nerve and you’re unwilling to confront what she said to you.”

William goes to disagree, but Chris won’t let him. “Get your head out of your ass, Magnusson. And use your manners next time you talk to my Housemate.”

With one last angry look, Chris gathers all of his belongings and leaves William to his scattered thoughts. The Ravenclaw doesn’t finish his Arithmancy homework – too busy being ashamed of himself.

Author’s note: That was it! The first 1527 words of the last chapter of ‘The Chaser Gets Chased’. Do let me know what you think! I love reading your messages and your thoughts on the story. I’m working on the remainder of the story while you’re reading this and I hope to have it uploaded here soon! Have a great rest of the week!

12, 15 and 16 for the character thing

thank you! Have some Crescent-facts!!

12. How does this character handle stress?If the stress is Major Really Bad World’s Ending -type stress, then quite well, Crescent can function, but if it’s a minor inconvenience, such as misplacing a sock or dealing with a cold, then Not Good Very Bad I’m Going To Die -reaction.

15. What is the best gift they could receive?A quiet night with the crew when everyone’s happy and safe and content, or you know, just having their crewmates be happy and safe - that or a friendship pie.

16. If they could instantly kill one person in the world without consequence, who would it be?I don’t think Crescent would be the type to kill, they much prefer words as their weapons rather than violence. They’d feel that death would be too easy for the people (their parents) who they think deserve to be punish the most. Although, I must admit, they were quite keen on trying to find a certain president-to-be in Washington when they ended up there around 2012 so that’d be the type, but they took the wrong turn. But, Crescent would prefer to see the bad guys live with the consequences of their actions.

Fandom: Skam Ship: Chris x Eva Summary: Eva is not dating Chris. No matter what he and her Divination homework say. Hogwarts AU. ao3

Eva didn’t know that she believed in Divination, only that she was good at it. That whatever she made up about her tea leaves, her tarot cards, her crystal ball was exactly what Professor Trelawney was looking for. Every time.

Of course half the school would consider the only class that came remotely easily to her a complete joke.

To be fair—she’d signed up for it as a joke in third year, back when she was still friends with Ingrid and crushing on Jonas. Back when Ingrid had thought it sounded like fun, Jonas had thought it sounded like a hoax, and Eva had thought it sounded like an easy way to bond with one and mess with the other.

But here she was, three years later, no longer friends with Ingrid, no longer crushing on Jonas, and still going strong with Professor Trelawney.

Now, shuffling her tarot cards in the library, Eva squinted from her Celtic Cross spread to her tarot journal. For all that Trelawney claimed she had the makings of a seer, she couldn’t just look at the cards and know what to make of them. She knew what they all meant, of course. Contrary to Jonas’s teasing, she did put some effort into her studies. There was the Fool card for new beginnings; the Page of Cups for new possibilities; the Empress for growth or fertility or motherhood or something. All the rest for something else.

She picked the right cards, according to every grade she’d ever received. Deciding on one interpretation though—

Eva shrugged, brushed her hair out of her eyes, and started jotting down notes about the Fool.

That part always felt like dumb luck.

None of the cards warned her that a familiar black bag was about to flop down on her table, set there by an even more familiar Slytherin. “You look hot when you’re telling the future.”

Eva rolled her eyes up from her cards. “Hi, Chris.” He was already sitting beside her, leaning towards her, close enough to touch. Probably going to touch her. Probably going to get them both into trouble with Madam Pince before they left. (It was a miracle of good timing and quick exits that they hadn���t both been banned from the library after their last attempt at studying together.)

His tongue darted out across his lips. “Now you’re supposed to tell me that I look hot too. Where’s your Gryffindor chivalry?”

Tilting her head in mock contemplation, Eva flipped a new card over from her stack. “Sorry. The cards think you should try again tomorrow.” Then one more. “And that Gryffindor chivalry doesn’t apply to Slytherins.”

Chris scooted his chair even closer to hers, dropping his eyes to hers. “Not even to your boyfriend?”

She pressed her lips together, but didn’t quite manage to swallow her giggle as she plucked another card from the top of the deck. Without bothering to look at it, she added, “The cards also say that I’m not your girlfriend.”

Chris’s grin struck her before the reason for it did. “Really?” So smug, from his face to his voice to his posture.

Her own smile hitched as she followed Chris’s gaze down to the card she’d just drawn. The Lovers. One of the prettiest cards in her whole deck, if also marked by the most explicit artwork. Naked bodies intertwined, lips not quite touching, eyes trained pensively over each other’s shoulders.

They’d been arguing about whether or not they were together since last weekend, after one of their (admittedly frequent) Room of Requirements hook-ups. She’d been doing a solid job of staying strong so far, and wasn’t about to let her tarot cards ruin her resolve. No matter how many times Chris declared himself her boyfriend.

She liked how things were between them now—hooking up at most parties, hanging out together with Noora and William most weekends. She’d seen him in a relationship. She’d seen herself in a relationship. That road wouldn’t lead anywhere but jealousy and heartbreak, with a side of awkwardness, and she liked the benefits of their friendship too much for that. Never mind if her chest went warm every time Chris called her his girlfriend.

Eva didn’t say any of this, only shoved her shoulder against his and huffed another breath of laughter. “That was a coincidence.”

“Or your cards think you’re my girlfriend.”

“It wasn’t a real reading. That’s not even the whole meaning of the card.”

Chris reached for said card, fingering its golden edges. “Explain it to me then.”

She squinted at him. “You want me to explain tarot to you.” No one, except maybe Vilde, wanted to hear her talk about Divination—and Vilde was really only looking for a pep talk about her future, not an honest to Merlin reading.

He just nodded. “Tell me my future, gf.”

And even though he was being ridiculous, definitely not taking her seriously—he was still looking at her seriously enough, waiting for her to explain seriously enough. Eva coughed, and took the card from him. “Right. So the deck is divided into major arcana cards and minor arcana cards. This would be one of the major ones.” She trailed off, waiting for his eyes to glaze over or for him to pull her in for a kiss and then off into the stacks.

Chris nodded for her to go on, playing with the ends of her hair.

“And it can be about a new love or relationship,” she admitted, earning a wide grin from her not-a-boyfriend. “But also about a serious decision.”

Another nod. “Like whether or not we should get together.”

Eva shook her head, even as she slid her smile against his lips and toyed with his tie. “Maybe you should read the cards,” she murmured between soft kisses.

Stroking the strip of bare skin that lay between her skirt and her knee socks with his free hand, Chris nodded his chin against hers and said, “Pick them for me.”

Pulling far enough away to slant another skeptical look at him, Eva shrugged at his insistent eyebrows, and leaned back to shuffle the deck. “Just a simple spread.”

Chris watched the movements of her hands, of the cards without blinking. Then, after a few more moments—“Now.”

Eva paused, spread the cards out facedown in a half-circle across the study table, and then ran her hand above their edges. “Do you even believe in tarot cards?” she asked, almost smirking, but mostly concentrating. Looking for the cards that felt the warmest, the most loaded with energy.

His voice and eyes dipped, husky to the point of cheesiness. “I believe in you.”

She halted, hand suspended above the cards, and then scooped them back together into a pile.

“Something distract you?” Chris asked, too innocently.

Eva wrapped her arms around his neck, and tugged his face to hers. “Shut up.”

Later, in the dustiest of Hogwarts’ many stacks, Madam Pince caught Eva with her legs wrapped around Chris’s waist, her arms wrapped around his neck, and his hands wrapped around her hips.

They received a detention and a stern warning that she and her boyfriend should restrict their library activities to studying. Chris’s grin lasted all the way into the Great Hall.

“She thinks I’m your boyfriend,” he whispered into her ear, his breath warm on her cartilage.

Eva rolled her eyes, but relaxed against him when he wrapped an arm around her waist. “We’ll see.”

The Chaser gets chased (Noorhelm) (3/4)

Author’s note: Hello everyone! Here it is: a drama-filled third chapter to this fic. Hope you like it! Do let me know what you think: I love reading your thoughts. I hope I can write the fourth chapter this week and have it uploaded by next weekend, but I’m not going to promise anything. I’ve got a French exam to study for and I still have a way to go... Anyways, enjoy the third chapter! It’s almost 3k and entirely full of Noorhelm! Hope I lived up to your expectations! Thank you for reading!

CHAPTER 3

Noora’s last class of the week is Astronomy. At midnight. On Friday. She’s not happy about it. The entire week has been hellish: classes were hard, she fought with William, it kept raining buckets all day every day, if she happened to run into him by accident William glared at her, Eva and Chris were being disgustingly cute celebrating their anniversary, William pretended she was completely invisible. All in all, Noora was proud she hadn’t hexed anyone to release some of her pent-up frustration.

Despite it all, she still showed up to class tonight. Her fellow Astronomy N.E.W.T. students are an interesting bunch. One more so than all the others combined. Noora wasn’t about to not jump at the chance to drink in as much of William Magnusson’s presence as she possibly could while he couldn’t run away from her. It would take more than some spiteful words and some – admittedly heartfelt – glaring to scare her off.

She chooses a workspace that’s a few spots down from William’s – he’ll be less likely to notice her staring if she isn’t directly beside him. She sets up her telescope and folds out the chart she’s working on, weighing the parchment scroll down with her inkwell and her textbook. She also sneaks another glance at the Ravenclaw Prefect.

William’s wrapped up in his thick winter cloak and fingerless gloves, his beanie and scarf in matching Ravenclaw colors keeping his head and the lower half of his face shielded from the icy winds. Noora thinks he looks cute and huggable – and wishes she could snuggle up to him. The sharp look she receives from Professor Sinistra alerts her that her wistful sighing wasn’t as internal as she’d hoped. She quickly looks away from the aging woman and through the lens of her telescope.

Noora works diligently for the next hour or so, but during the last thirty minutes of class her focus slips away from Astronomy. She tries really hard, she really does, but she’s had a long day and and an even longer week and every single movement William makes just draws her attention.

When she sees him shivering, she imagines running her hands up and down his arms to get him warm again. When he blows on the frozen tips of his fingers, she wishes it were William’s instinct to slip his cold hands under her knit Gryffindor sweater and heat them up against the bare skin of her back while smothering her entire face in kisses to distract her from the uncomfortable feeling. Noora’s so caught-up in her daydreaming of sharing body heat that when Professor Sinistra dismisses their class, she notices she named one of Saturn’s moons ‘William’ instead of Atlas. She blushes.

That’s what I get for zoning out on William’s shoulders. His broad, broad shoulders that could probably carry the weight of the world… Even the voice inside her head sounds lovesick. And maybe a little ashamed. But mostly lovesick.

Their classmates eagerly leave the classroom, descending the Tower’s narrow staircase, and make their way to their respective Common Rooms. For the first time this week, the universe works in Noora’s favor when only she and William are left standing underneath the night sky. This week’s never-ending rain has let up, allowing a thick blanket of stars to illuminate the two and she thinks the starlight turns William’s pale complexion angelic.

(Noora’s glad Legilimency isn’t a course taught at Hogwarts – she’d probably disgust the entire student body with her sappy thoughts. Sometimes she wonders whether people would look at her weirdly if she were to slap herself in order to stop the nauseatingly amorous thoughts.)

Noora shakes off her musings, opting to focus on packing away her stuff and getting to her bed. Her stomach grumbles loudly – loud enough that William surely must’ve heard – and for once, Noora’s lovesick brain comes up with a somewhat realistic romantic scenario involving both her and William. She clears her throat and turns around. The Ravenclaw is still furiously scribbling away at his own chart.

“Eh, William?” Noora calls softly. He ignores her. She tries again, a little louder this time. He can’t pretend to not have heard her. “William?”

Noora doesn’t need to see his face to know that he’s recognized her voice. To know that he’s aware of who exactly it is he’s left with in the classroom. She can see him squaring his shoulders, most likely mentally preparing himself for another round of Noora’s flirting. He takes his time closing his ink well before turning around to face her.

“What is it, Sætre?” He’s got his walls up, an obvious defensiveness to his voice. Noora tries not to be hurt by his behavior.

“I’m planning on stopping by the kitchens on my way to the Gryffindor Common Room, see if the elves have any hot cocoa to warm up a little.” William raises his eyebrows questioningly – the only indication that he’s actually paying attention to what she says and doesn’t just pretend to be listening. “Would you like to join me?”

The distance between her and William has been killing Noora all week. She misses being around him – even if their conversations rarely go beyond her asking him out and him rejecting her. This is her extending an olive branch to him, hoping that it’ll get rid of some of the tension between them. William clearly misinterprets her intentions. He sighs deeply – clearly exasperated.

“Really? We’re back to this?” His face is stony when he looks her in the eyes. “The first opportunity you have, the first moment we’re alone together, and you’re asking me out? Again? What is it about you that doesn’t understand the words I’m not interested?”

And after the week she’s had, Noora could’ve foreseen herself making a joke out of his comment, maybe she might even have bet on her fleeing from the Tower. Hell, she’d sooner have guessed she would’ve started crying (and Noora Amalie Sætre does not cry – it’s never gotten her anywhere in her life) than what actually happens.

She yells at him. Loud. Unashamed. She channels all the hurt from his cutting remarks and allows it to feed her heartache-induced fury.

“I’m not asking you out, you pompous… prick!” She bellows. “I’m waving a white flag at you, Wilhelm! I want us to bury the hatchet, to put Monday’s argument behind us! I want us to no longer force our best friends, our best friends who are dating each other, to have to choose sides!”

William’s eyes have widened: he is obviously more than a little surprised by her outburst. He opens and closes his mouth a few times, struggling to find words but Noora doesn’t let him. He’s opened the gates; now he’ll have to listen to her flood of thoughts.

“What is it about me that disgusts you so much? That makes you lose your appetite when I join you for breakfast or lunch or dinner? That makes you turn on your heels as soon as possible whenever I walk into any room? That makes you lose your patience when I so much as breathe?”

Noora imagines that her head must be as red as the Hogwarts Express at this point. Still, it’s difficult to care about her looks right now. Even if she’s standing in front of William Magnusson. “I’m sorry, you know. For whatever it is.”

William blinks, still wearing a shocked expression, and for a moment the duo just stare at each other in silence. Noora trails her eyes over the Ravenclaw, re-learning and memorizing him as if she’d never see him again. When she speaks again, her voice has lost all resemblance of anger and fighting.

“But the one thing I won’t apologize for, William Magnusson,” By using his full name, Noora forces William to look her in the eyes. It’s important that this next bit rings through. “The one thing I refuse to apologize for, are my feelings for you.”

His eyes turn to slits when she says that. Noora wonders what it is that makes William go in lockdown whenever she puts her heart on the line.

“I agree that maybe it isn’t ideal that it grew to be so public. That it might make you feel uneasy: everyone having their own opinion about it, pushing you one way or another, shoving their input down your throat. I get that. I can understand that it might make you feel like you’re a zoo animal, stared at and pointed at. And I’m genuinely sorry for that, William.”

She breathes, deeply, before continuing. “I’m loud and I’m unapologetic and I voice my thoughts and opinions. And I wear my heart on my sleeve, William. I don’t hide my emotions or my feelings.”

And then William finds his voice again. He clears his throat, voice still a little shaky but progressively growing stronger. “So, what then? We forget Monday’s whole scene and become best friends? Braid each other’s hair and have sleepovers?”

Noora’s answering grin is a little hesitant but William isn’t joking. “What is it you want from me? Am I supposed to believe that you care about me? You don’t care about me.”

Noora feels as if he’s slapped her across the face. She balls her hands into fists – suddenly grateful that she’d forgotten her gloves. The pain of her nails piercing the flesh of her palms gives her something to focus on, something to distract her from the angry tears that are threatening to roll down her cheeks at any moment now. Not even William Magnusson is going to make her cry – no way in bloody hell.

“You care about putting on a show for your admirers, for the masses who are amused by your theatrics. You don’t care about me, Noora Sætre. You only care about yourself.”

“I do.” She closes her eyes. She needs a second without his piercing gaze boring holes into her face. “I care about you. For real.”

“You don’t know me.” William scoffs. “You know nothing about me. How could you possibly care about me?”

“I’ve been trying to get to know you.” Her eyes are open again and she smiles at him. A gentle, but sad smile. “You haven’t exactly made things easy.”

“You have to give up, Noora.” Normally, the sound of her name rolling off his tongue sends shivers down her spine. Now, it just makes her feel empty – empty without the swarm of butterflies in her stomach. “You’re wasting your time. It’s never going to happen between us.”

“Give up?” She echoes. Noora call feel the incredulity painting her face. “I won’t give up, William.”

“Why?” He sounds utterly bewildered. “Why won’t you give up on this little game of yours? What is it about me that makes you want to have me so much? Is it the chase? You want me because you can’t have me?”

Minutes ago, her stomach was a pit full of raging fury. Then it felt empty without the usual fluttery feeling. But now, in this moment, Noora feels as if her fondness for William has been injected in her bloodstream. It’s everywhere. Every part of her body glowing with affection for this confused boy in front of her. She wonders if this is what it feels like to fall in love with someone.

“Listen to me, William Magnusson,” She smiles again. This time it’s amused. “You’re a Ravenclaw, a smart guy. So you have to realize that this,” she waves between the two of them, “is more than me wanting you just because you don’t want me. This isn’t that clichéd love story of ‘every time you reject me, I only want you more’.”

“Then what is it?”

“I don’t know.” She grins, shrugging her shoulders.

“If you don’t know, then why won’t you give up?” He asks. They’ve stepped closer to the other, staying just out of arm’s reach. Noora shivers because of it – delights in this little dance they’re sharing.

“Because I only give up on lost causes. And this, whatever it is, doesn’t feel like a lost cause. I don’t believe it is, refuse to believe it. So, I won’t give up.”

William’s carefully constructed walls have crumbled down during their conversation – and Noora has become even more enamored with the Ravenclaw. They could be so good together if only he’d give them a chance.

“You can’t force me to like you.” He mutters. Every bit of maliciousness and biting snark gone from his voice. Noora nods.

“I can’t. But you can’t force me to not like you.” She points out. “That’s practically impossible.”

William leans against his forgotten desk, his classwork still spread out on top. Noora lets him gather his thoughts.

“I won’t give up, William.” She repeats her earlier words. “Not without a good reason to do so. Not without a fight.”

They’re quiet for another moment. Noora notices how cold it’s become and how an icy wind has picked up. She wonders how long it’s been since the Professor dismissed their class. She’s surprised they haven’t been found yet. The silence stretches out and eventually, Noora’s had enough.

“Alright,” She puts her hand on his shoulder, tugging, and turns him around. He faces her and she squares her shoulders, licks her lips before speaking. “This is what we’ll do.”

Now or never. The voice in her head whispers. This is it.

“Look at me.” He doesn’t. “Don’t make me call you Wilhelm, Wilhelm.”

It works. He looks at her, a half-assed glare thrown at her. She would wink if things weren’t so intense between them. She takes a deep breath, gets ready to once again offer him her - bruised and battered - heart.

“Just… tell me you don’t like me. Tell me you don’t want me. Look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing, not a single thing, while we’re standing here. We’re standing here, shouting at each other at the top of the Astronomy Tower, Hogwarts’s number one make-out spot. Tell me you don’t like me, William, and I’m gone.”

William looks at her, studies her entire being, and Noora lets him. She sees all kinds of things pass through his eyes, all sorts of thoughts reflected in his gaze, and she stays quiet. Eventually he shakes his head. “I don’t. I don’t like you.” He croaks.

Noora’s mouth twitches, a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, but she doesn’t let it show through. Instead she picks something off the ground and takes a step closer to him.

“I don’t believe you.” Noora hands William the cap to his telescope lens, closing his numb fingers around it with one hand and raising the other to stroke his fringe out of his face. “But I’ll let it go… for now.”

Her fingers shake where they’re resting on his cheekbone. She notices how irregular his breathing is. The tension between them thickens, both are aware of it, and neither pull away from the other. When her fingers slide down his jaw, resting below his chin for a second, and before she can take a step back to finally leave the Tower, he grabs her wrist – keeping the physical contact intact. Noora holds her breath.

“You don’t care for rules, you don’t do anything without an audience to applaud you for it, you disrupt class and…” He sounds frustrated. Noora’s doesn’t know if it’s with her or with himself. “And you have a head bigger than the Giant Squid! That’s why I don’t like you.”

“Was that all?” She whispers. William looks her in the eye and they’re so close now that she feels his breath hitting her face. Their foreheads rest together and despite the difficult nature of this conversation, Noora’s pretty sure this is what it feels like to drink Felix Felicis, Liquid Luck.

He whispers a “No” so soft it’s almost lost in the wind. If it weren’t for their proximity, Noora would’ve missed it.

The hand not holding her wrist, the hand not keeping her hand pressed to his face, touches her cheek. Strokes the soft, chilled skin. Neither looks away from the other: Noora vows that they’ll have a moment, someday, where she’ll count all the stars reflected in his eyes.

William leans in and Noora swears he’s about to bridge the slight gap between their lips. She doesn’t move, frozen in this little bubble they’ve created, scared to spook him. They’re so unbelievably close, closer than they’ve ever been, and Noora begs her heart not to give out on her now.

“Who’s there?” A voice rings through the Tower. “The last class has been done for well over an hour now. What are you still doing here?”

The light of a lantern is floating up the staircase, Hogwarts’s caretaker’s voice drifting towards them. Noora curses the man for ruining their Moment.

William jumps away from her, tripping over his bookbag and almost knocking his telescope off its stand, before hurriedly grabbing his belongings and storming away from her.

Noora can hear the caretaker yelling something after the Ravenclaw, but she’s trying too hard to make sense of what had just happened to understand what’s being said. She feels as if she’s floating, drugged on William’s scent and his touch, and barely registers the caretaker now scolding her.

“Straight to your Common Room, you hear me, missy?” He shouts at her back. “And don’t think your Head of House won’t hear about this! I’ll personally suggest some punishments!”

Noora’s so out of it she can only focus on setting one foot in front of the other. Somehow, she makes her way to the kitchens. There’s never been a problem a cup of hot-gone-cold cocoa wasn’t able to fix.

She sits there, at the copy of Gryffindor’s House Table, mulling over the conversation she and William had, until long after the House Elves start preparing breakfast.

Author’s note: And there it is! The third chapter. So sorry I didn’t upload it sooner: I got home late last night and fell asleep before I could finish proof-reading... Hope you enjoyed it and do let me know what you think! I love reading your thoughts!

[winterballads]

seamus finnigan and sana bakkoush 😊

Hiii, thanks for asking! 🌈💛

Seamus Finnigan

How I feel about this character: I feel like Seamus is the kind of guy who’d be great to have as a friend (or just around in general), bc he’s got a light and funny quality to him while also being loyal and standing up for what he believes in :)

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Dean Thomas of course 💝

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Gotta say I don’t have any particular thoughts on this one... Just his Gryffindor mates in general? 🦁

My unpopular opinion about this character: Probably not really unpopular, but that bit in The Goblet of Fire where Seamus doesn’t believe Harry didn’t put his name in the Goblet annoys the shit out of me every time dfhgs 🙈 When you see the story from Harry’s POV, it all just seems so massively unfair and infuriating and it gets me every time 😪 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: No one can convince me that Seamus and Dean didn’t get married as soon as possible ✨ Fuck JKR for her abysmal LGBT representation in the books - she wasn’t willing to make their couple canon, but I can and I will!

Sana Bakkoush

How I feel about this character: Really really like her! She’s smart, loyal, kind, blunt when necessary, determined, strong... All qualities I admire ✨💖

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I don’t feel terribly strongly about any ship, but I do like her with Yousef 😊

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Vilde aaaaall the way, they’re very different but I feel like they also complement each other and can learn a lot from each other when they meet halfway ����💕 Also Isak! 😍 

My unpopular opinion about this character: This might not be unpopular, but I firmly believe that Sana deserved a much better title season! As far as I see it, s4 was more a concluding season for the entire series than Sana’s season per say - there was no focal point, it felt very rushed and scattered and I didn’t feel like I got to know Sana as much as I’d gotten to know Eva, Noora and Isak in their own seasons :( Sana’s character should’ve been explored in depth, rather than her episodes being crammed with all sorts of loose threads being hastily tied up... Of course I get that the show had to be wrapped up in a hurry and those things would’ve been hard to avoid, but still 💔  

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Basically what I just said - simply more genuinely Sana-focused content 🌸

Send me a character and I’ll break their ass down 💌

I was tagged by the lovely @davidfors5 thank you so much  😭 😭 😭

1. fave character from each remake and why?

Skam Austin: Poonam Para. I know that she’s a side character and honestly i was close to saying Jo, Kelsey or Shay but she’s my fav. I think i just see a lot of myself in her and i like how she’s a completely new and different character. She’s funny and upfront and unique and I feel extremely understood and I hope we get to see more of her.

Skam France: Imane Bakhellal. Again i was really close to saying Yann or Lucas but i think just purely because of how much i can relate to Imane and understand her she’s my fav.

Druck: David Schreibner. While i definitely relate to Matteo the most and love Amira to no end, David is hands down my favourite. He’s such an icon and he especially makes me love Druck so much. I can’t really explain why he’s my favourite so much, this one is really more of like i feel it in my soul that he’s my favourite and that’s why.

Skam España: Joana Bianchi. I... I wanted to say Amira or Lucas because i love them so freaking much and this one was honestly the hardest for me to decide but it is Joana. I don’t know what it is but i just deeply care for her so much.

Skam NL: Liv Reijners. Although i really do love like all the NL characters. Liv i decided to pick because she can sing and i love her style and she’s strong and independent and i feel like she’s a really unique noora and i just. love everything about her. I can’t find a single fault  🙈

2. fave musical moment?

Skam: håper du har plass playing when the girls go to get Sana, i think we all cry every time and i still listen to that song to this day

Skam Austin: honestly… cloutie 4 lyfe go listen to clout from grandma’s closet on soundcloud i stg their talent… is unparalleled (honorary mention, when Megan’s upset and crying and goes to see Marlon and they play the fricking meme song and stop it at “run.” i die every time)

Skam France: what else could i say other than when Lucas played ‘i love you’ on the piano like chills lich rally chills luv (honorary mention how the music goes all soft the first time Lucas sees Eliott, again iconic)

Druck: this is hard like i kind of just wanna say whenever they’ve ever used a song it’s been absolutely perfect, i think i’ll say during the first kiss clip though when they go to hold their breath and the music with the water sound effects like aaaa ded

Skam España: the last clip when they go to kiss and ‘I Follow Rivers’ starts playing like... it’s just perfect like everything comes full circle and im CRYING

Skam NL: another remake that always picks perfect music, i think my fav is whenever Liv goes to the mic to sing like i love her singing voice so much

3. if you could make your own season, who would it be about and what would happen?

I have thought about this so much it’s almost funny lmao. There’s just so much potential with Skam and then if you factor in the remakes like... absolutely spoilt for choice omfg. I’d love a Jonas season because he’s great but i really dont know what it’d even be about, Mahdi is another character i’ve always felt immensely interested in and i would love to know more about him. In the middle of typing this i’ve come to a decision actually lmao. Two words- BALLOON. SQUAD. They are literally my favourite thing about og ever seriously and Elias is my favourite Skam character. So idk maybe a season about them? and maybe about their friend group and how they’re all drifting apart or brotherhood or like healthy male friendships where they are there for each other and shit or about Even becoming friends with them again or IDK. but i know i’d have loved a season centered on them and if i had a greater mind i’d be able to come up with a good plot for them too lmao.

4. rank the sanas ( I’m evil I know )

This is literally the worst question I’ve ever seen and yes you are evil

Sana, Amira TM, Amira N, Imane, Zoya, Esra, Imaan.

BUT THEY ARE ALL EQUALLY MY FAVOURITE 

5. fave season from each remake and why?

Skam Austin: Unpopular Opinion but i really loved season 1, however, I think i have to say season 2 because of how fucking well they developed all the characters like giving the cast input into the story was the best decision Skam Austin could’ve ever made. Also, Clout From Grandma’s Closet? like need i say more

Skam France: I only watched 3 and 4 and my fav is 3. Very good homage to OG with the story telling and made me absolutely fall in love with Lucas and Eliott. Like I went through the same motions as i did when i watched OG and it was nice to be reminded of that. Also liked the small changes they made like the Polaris thing that was iconic

Druck: SEASON 3. what an emotional fucking roller coaster. They had me hooked every single minute of the day and still do now. I love Matteo and how they changed the story up like im still pissed about the pacing kind of but honestly i loved season 3 and still rewatch it. the music was perfect, development of the characters, the softness. everything was just so good

Skam NL: As much as i love Liv I have to say season 1. it was goregously done, i loved the aesthetic and Isa is such a realistic and relatable character. Also her moments with Kes and Lucas and the moments with the girl squad, like it was just a really iconic start to an awesome series.

Skam España: I’ve only watched season 2 but i know even if i watched season 1 i would still say season 2 lmao. Honestly there is not a SINGLE thing they did wrong. like the story was perfect, the honour they did to og, how they switched the relationships up. it genuinely was just fucking perfect (except the whole panphobia thing. if that comment wasn’t said spain would have the best remake)

6. What’s your opinion on s2? what do you like and dislike the most? which remake made the best s2? (españa doesn’t count)

I am going to be truthful here and say that when i was first watching OG and watched season 2 I did like it but after growing up a bit and reflecting I now honestly really dont. like i’ve tried to avoid that season in remakes as much as i can (i’ve failed and the only noorhell i’ve not seen is frances one). I think what got me at first was the whole like layers thing to William. how there was more to him and also like the typical fanfic tropey moments between them. what i like about season 2 is the SA storyline, like that is an extremely important topic that needs to be talked about more so i like how it brought light to that and also how they show Noora handling the situation and how the girl squad are and i <3. What i dislike is how William uses Vilde and is so manipulative and ANNOYING omfg. Like i can’t explain how much his entitled rich ass frustrates me and how broken down Noora is by him.

7. what representation would you like to see in Skam (other than more wlw)?

Honestly i’d like to see more ethnic minorities tbh, especially like maybe some east asian people? I want skam to be the type of thing that no matter who you are you can see yourself represented in it and while the remakes and og do an alright job of it, i’d love to see more. i’ll say this this til the day i die- REPRESENTATION IS IMPORTANT

8. what country would you like to see a remake and why?

My biased ass is screaming Skam Scotland because like i would be able to relate to it so much and I’d love it with my entire soul but also just somewhere where the majority of the population isnt white. would be lovely for it to be in like India or Pakistan maybe so that I could personally relate to it but honestly anywhere with POC would be an absolute WIN for me. i suggest Skam Scotland where the girl and boy squad are south asians/east asians + black with the good ol’ token white friend! Hire me

9. fave head canon?

Honestly any (head)canon that says anyone is not cishet is like 👌 

10. sort characters into Hogwarts houses

I was going to do the characters from all the remakes when i realised... they’re all essentially the same each time I- anyways lmao

Hufflepuff -  Magnus, Even, Chris, Vilde, Mikael, Yousef, Linn

Slytherin - Sana, Isak

Gryffindor - Mahdi, Elias, Eva, Adam, Mutasim, Eskild

Ravenclaw - Jonas, Noora

This is mostly based off pure gut instinct idk

11. tell me your best crossover idea

How all the remakes seem to have the girl squads going on summer roads trips I kinda had this thought that maybe like the groups in each of the different remakes and og decide to go on a big friends holiday and everyone ends up in the same place and they all meet. none of the isaks really get along with each other, all the evens of course become best friends on the spot etc etc. i just want everyone to automatically become best friends im not good at coming up with ideas for these sorts of things sorry lmao

~

For my 11 questions:

Which remake/og sqaud do you think you would personally fit into the most?

What is your favourite remake and why?

What is objectively the best remake and why?

Opinions on each of the girl squads?

Favourite hairstyle out of all the remakes? (this includes any hijab styles of the Sanas)

Who do you think from og/remakes would have a youtube channel and what would they post about? (not including hei briskeby or lucas rubio’s yt channel)

Pick someone you think is underappreciated from og/remakes and explain why you think they should be appreciated more

Favourite outfit/clothing item?

Which character do you think is most similar to you?

Do you like the Eva season (season 1)?

Insert your own question that you’d like to answer!

I will tag @thedavideffect @pansexualevenbech @2ndbest @joanascris @hufflepuff-ish @matteoluigiflorenzi @liveterna2 @bbibbicole @xxrps @happoa @eleaha but don’t do this if you don’t want to! and if you see this but i haven't please go for it i would’ve tagged everyone humanly possible but alas i had to pick 11 lmao but i love reading different peoples thoughts so yeah. pls do if you want to <3

I was tagged by @davidfors5 thank u dani <3

1. fave character from each remake and why? nl - isa: shes so raw and an unapologetically gross young woman and i love her for it  druck - matteo: who knew so much love could be stored in a little rat.  i love well written depression representation even if it was unintentional on drucks part (im not attached to austin enough to have a favourite character lmao)

2. fave musical moment? the woman’s day clip from s2 when jonas walks through the school to blue monday. its hilarious. i also love how druck incorporated mountains through the last three clips of s3 ep 6 

3. if you could make your own season, who would it be about and what would happen? i think a kiki season would be really interesting. it would look at her struggles with her mother at home but also her relationship with carlos and what happens when you move in with someone when youre maybe a bit too young 

4. rank the sanas sana/amira/imane/imaan/zoya (ive not seen the other 2 and whats skam italia

5. fave season from each remake and why? nl - s1: it was a teen indie movie whats better. druck - s3: it was truly the most incredible ten weeks. ive never felt more in a character’s shoes with matteo  austin - s1: there was something very still about season 1 which i enjoyed

6. whats your opinion on s2? what do you like and dislike the most? which remake made the best s2? okay. objectively, season 2 is very important as it shows the highs and lows of a passionate, whirlwind romance. the way they portrayed sexual assault and an eating disorder was very real and very heavy. however. william as a character is so awful and badly written that it prevents me from rewatching the season. its like when i couldnt finish breaking bad bc i cant stand walter white. druck s2 however, incredible. imagine if william was as likeable as alex!

7. what representation would you like to see in skam? more religion! its unrealistic for there to be only member of the squad to be religious and the rest be atheist (or maybe thats me going to a catholic high school speaking). for example the day after the manchester arena bombing i attended a mutli-faith service on greys monument and it was beautiful. im not sure about the rest of the uk but that’s always been common in newcastle. (i also truly think that skam italia wasted their chance in having martino come to terms with his sexualtiy and his catholicism but hey low key lighting, a blue colour palette and saying the n word are much more important right??)

8. what country would you like to see a remake and why? as shit as it would be i honestly think that a skam uk would be hilarious. but i think it would be very good for the generation who were just too young to vote in the brexit referendum and are pretty angry with having our future decided for us by old posh twats 

9. fave head canon?  even goes to film school and eva and jonas dont break up

10. sort characters into hogwarts houses eva, even, magnus - gryffindor/ isak, sana - slytherin/ noora, jonas - ravenclaw/ vilde, chris, mahdi - hufflepuff

11. tell me your best crossover idea even and david need to become friends. maybe isak and even relocate to berlin so even can study art and media at universität der künste berlin and who’s in his class? david

11 questions: 1. what moment resonates with you the most? 2. if you could watch one clip for the first time again, which one would it be and why? 3. where is the best use of cinematography? 4. if you could change one thing about skam, what would it be? 5. what is the best monologue in the show? 6. what clip with very little to no dialogue sticks out to you most? 7. you’ve woken up in your favourite character’s shoes. what do you do for the day? 8. you’re directing a clip! who’s in it, what happens, what music do you use? what do you do to create tension and make us hate you? 9. describe skam to a new viewer in 30 words or less 10. ignore julie. what are the characters up to today? 11. what’s the most unnecessary clip?

tag 11 people

tagged by @davidfors5, thank you lovely! <3

1. fave character from each remake and why? considering i’ve only seen druck and nl it their entirety i’ll only do those:

druck: matteo florenzi - i’ve truly never related to a character the way i have with matteo, the way he processes things and experiences things. I adore him and I think they did a wonderful job at making their isak original and authentic. also david, jonas and amira. 

nl: isa keijser - i love love love isa, i think she is a wonderful friend with a huge heart. i adored her season. 

2. fave musical moment?

from og skam - håper du har plass in the los losers scene druck - i love you too dun dun dun TAKE ME TO CHURCH (i love season three’s use of that song) or clean eyes or you’re somebody else skam nl - mysteries of love in the scene during s1 where they’re sitting on the roof and they start calling out kes’ name. 

3. if you could make your own season, who would it be about and what would happen?

i’d definitely love a season without a romance, i spent a lot of my years as a teenager feeling isolated by all the teenage romance i’d see on tv and not experience so i would love to give other kids a break from that. but also, maybe one that wasn’t set in high school, like i’d do one of like a gap year and someone figuring out what they want to do and take themselves. i think, cause i think a big thing is kids come out of school and they’re expected to know right away what they want to do so i think it would be interesting to give thought and space to people who don’t know what they want to do and know that not knowing is okay. 

4. rank the sanas ( I’m evil I know )

again, considering i’ve only seen druck and skam nl: 1. amira 2. imaan/esra (i love love love the new addition of esra in s2, i think it’s wonderful for the girls to have a mentor like ralph). 

5. fave season from each remake and why?

i’d have to go with season 3 for druck, obviously. i love that they switched things up and took the opportunity for trans rep instead of going with a white 25 yo model - some things could’ve been handled a lot better but experiencing the season was so special to me. matteo’s journey from how incredibly lonely and isolated he felt at the beginning of the season into blossoming into this open and proud and confident happy boy was practically magical to watch. i love david and lukas’ portrayal was phenomenal. it wasn’t just a season about a romantic love, but love for yourself, for your best friends, for your mother and learning that it is okay to breathe and take your time. 

and for skam nl, it’s definitely season one. i loved watching isa her friendships with the girls and seeing the really cool changes they made to the story. the scene were they all throw up after pizza? incredible, bonding, unique. isa’s nose piercing? brilliant fantastic.  

6. What’s your opinion on s2? what do you like and dislike the most? which remake made the best s2? (españa doesn’t count)

the best thing about season two is the music, the easter special episode and the girls supporting one another (at points). i despise william and the penetrator boys and i think season two flushes a lot of what season 1 noora stood for down the drain. william is horribly manipulative and it really really sucks the amount of people that think their relationship started in a healthy and cute way. too many scenes of them making out at random points for no reason. i hate the fact she ditches her friends at the end to go have sex. boo season 2. 

now, i was definitely impressed with the way that druck handled seasons 2. i thought chris veres brought a lot more to the table for alex’s character - he actually had some depth and wasn’t just a wooden asshole. i ended up rooting for mia and alex, which is definitely something i never thought i would do w/ a remade noorhelm. i was incredibly disappointed with how skam nl handled s2. i originally liked noah, i thought they had put a really interesting spin on his character but i can’t believe they kept the gross reaction in and the scene where she runs after him?? how?? in MY skam nl??? and then having liv turn up at his door in a wedding dress only for him to reject her and then let her cry and change his mind suddenly?? it made no sense and was just really humiliating. i ALSO disliked how the characters were still so young, liv was supposed to be 16 into 17? whereas druck made them older which i think makes more sense for the season 2 storyline overall. so in conclusion: i hate season 2 but druck remade season 2 the best. 

7. what representation would you like to see in Skam (other than more wlw)?

i would definitely love to see some more class representation - like looking at the working class and the less well off (kinda with how they were hinting at with vilde’s story) because all the of the characters seem to be in pretty good shape money wise and that aint realistic in this day and age. 

8 what country would you like to see a remake and why?

i’d love to see a remake in an eastern european country or south america. maybe like, russia. 

9. fave head canon?

i have a head canon that matteo works as a social worker in the future whilst david goes to film school and has a pretty successful career as an indie director.

10. sort characters into Hogwarts houses

this is painful ps these are all subject to change feel free to start up an actual discussion 

hufflepuff - carlos, vilde, sam, chris berg, even, possibly matteo? isa? hans, engel, janna  slytherin - isak, sana, amira, kiki possibly? matteo? gryffindor - isa? jonas augustin, abdi, hanna, alexander?, eva ravenclaw - noora, mia, liv, david?, esra, jonas noah vasquez 

squib - stefan

11. tell me your best crossover idea

that the boys on their roadtrip ended up in utrecht for skam nl s3 (kidding) but i would love it if there was just a moment of coexistence between the og and druck. i think skam nl handled it really well w/ eskild turning up and interacting with hans, that was fantastic. i would love eskild and hans to meet. 

i love this game but i’ve already done 11 questions and tagged 11 people and i have anxiety about irritating people so i won’t write any more <3
