Chapter Nineteen: The Wounded Trio.
Erick was still out of it by the time it was Ron's birthday, although he would speak in his sleep.
Pomfrey told her that sometimes people just fell into a deep unconscious state after a grave traumatic experience. He was almost ready to leave the hospital wing, but he was keeping himself senseless.
Mel tried really hard not to resent him. She wanted the conscious part of him to remember he had someone in the real world he could rely on, that she was still waiting for him and that he had to fight, at least to be able to speak about what had been going on that year.
Gifts would appear on his nightstand daily: notes of encouragement, sweets, all anonymous. She knew they had to come from Slytherins who weren't ready to step into the spotlight, Mel was happy with the support they were showing anyway.
Daphne would visit only when no one was paying attention, both girls had thought that his rivalry with Faustus and Griffin was nothing to worry about, but Lucas Darcy, one of the few Slytherins that attended the D.A. meetings, told Daphne that Griffin and Faustus were doing everything to keep Erick miserable and scared, but he'd been impossible to intimidate, and they had gotten tired.
Mel didn't understand why he'd hid this from her, she thought that Erick trusted her, that after their talk in Grimmauld Place he was determined to be more open about his problems... Apparently, she'd been wrong.
She had to keep going, if not for herself, at least for her mother, who would send her letters with Reggie's pictures as a way to cheer her up. Harry was a great help during those days too, keeping her busy with Occlumency and his lessons to ground himself. Hermione and Ron were still fighting and Ron was almost always snogging Lavender, it almost felt like the old days, Harry wouldn't nag her with questions about Erick, or even ask her to speak, and in return, she let him read his potions book as much as he pleased, as well as the Marauders' Map.
Harry knew it was completely selfish of him to enjoy his time with Mel. He knew it was wrong, that Mel was miserable—Erick was her boyfriend, not him! He could claim that he was mad on her behalf, but he knew he was angry at the fact that he couldn't express out loud what he was thinking: If it weren't for Erick, right now they'd be strolling around the castle hand in hand... but that wasn't true either. They couldn't be together if they wanted to keep the lifeline, and keeping it was far more important than his feelings.
That morning though, Harry's mind was miles away from her. They ran into each other as she was walking down the stairs.
"Morning," He said gravely. "We have a problem."
"What now?" Mel groaned.
Harry signed towards Ron, who quickly caught up with them with a weird expression on his face.
"Hi!" He beamed. "Harry's going to introduce me to Romilda Vane!"
Mel stared at the boys. "What?"
"I forgot I still had the chocolate cauldrons Romilda gave me—I was looking for the map and I threw them out of my trunk, Ron must've thought they had fallen from his pile of presents..."
"Oh," Mel looked back at her friend and her expression grew worried. "Oh, no..."
"Now he wants to marry Romilda," Harry wasn't smiling, but his eyes were bright with amusement.
"And, er... where are you taking him?"
"Stop talking and walk!" Ron whined.
Harry obliged, but seized Mel by the arm gently so she would walk with them.
"I'm taking him to meet Romilda," He explained. "She's with Slughorn, taking extra lessons..."
"Right!" Mel looked ahead, her voice trembling. "You should fix your hair, Won-Won, you don't want to meet her looking like a madman."
Ron hastily tried to brush his hair with both hands, Harry snorted lowering his gaze to his feet and shaking his head.
"You're late, Won-Won!" Lavender greeted them at the door. "I've got you a birthday—"
"Leave me alone," said Ron, pushing her aside. "Harry's going to introduce me to Romilda Vane."
Harry and Mel tried to apologize to Lavender, but they were too distracted to stop and talk. When they reached Slughorn's office, they discovered a very sleepy-looking professor.
"Children... This is very early for a call... I generally sleep late on a Saturday..."
"Professor, we're really sorry to disturb you," said Harry, "but my friend Ron's swallowed a love potion by mistake. You couldn't make him an antidote, could you? I'd take him to Madam Pomfrey, but we're not supposed to have anything from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and, you know... awkward questions..."
"I'd have thought you could have whipped him up a remedy, expert potioneers like you two?" asked Slughorn.
"It was too sudden," Mel prompted, used to come up with tales on the spot. "We thought he was ill and we were halfway to the infirmary when he started to ramble about this girl... We don't want to make things worse..."
"I can't see her, guys—is he hiding her?" Ron complained.
"Was this potion within date?" Slughorn asked, adopting a more serious tone. "They can strengthen, you know, the longer they're kept."
"That would explain a lot," Harry grunted, he was firmly gripping Ron with both arms trying to keep him from running into the office. "It's his birthday, Professor..."
"Oh, all right, come in, then, come in," said Slughorn. "I've got the necessary here in my bag, it's not a difficult antidote..."
Ron stormed into the room and fell over, he quickly stood up and seized Harry by the neck whispering frantically.
"She didn't see that, did she?"
"She's not here yet," Harry pushed him away hastily.
"That's good — How do I look?"
"Very handsome," Slughorn replied brightly, he had a cup of something already, Mel hadn't even seen him move. "Now drink that up, it's a tonic for the nerves, keep you calm when she arrives, you know."
"Brilliant," said Ron, taking it all down in one long gulp.
He stood there excitedly for at least ten seconds, then his face changed and his eyes widened in shock.
"Back to normal, then?" Harry smiled. "Thanks a lot, Professor."
"Don't mention it, m'boy, don't mention it," Ron sat down heavily, pushing his hair back in distress. "Pick-me-up, that's what he needs, I've got butterbeer, I've got wine, I've got one last bottle of this oak-matured mead... hmm... meant to give that to Dumbledore for Christmas... ah, well... He can't miss what he's never had! Why don't we open it now and celebrate Mr Weasley's birthday? Nothing like a fine spirit to chase away the pangs of disappointed love..."
Mel softly rubbed Ron's back while Slughorn poured the drinks, she stood up to grab hers.
"There you are then," said Slughorn. "Well, a very happy birthday, Ralph —"
"Ron —" whispered Harry.
Mel raised her cup and smelled it, she tensed.
"— and may you have many more —"
"Don't drink it!"
But Ron had drunk half of the cup already.
"Ron!" Harry called when their friend fell to the floor. "Professor! Do something!"
"What — but —" Slughorn flushed.
Mel fell to her knees and turned Ron to his side.
"IT'S POISON!"
Harry moved faster than she'd ever seen him move, he opened Slughorn's case and searched through it desperately while Mel did her best to keep Ron from choking.
"HURRY!"
"FOUND IT!" Harry shouted and threw the bezoar, Mel caught it.
Harry kneeled next to her to keep Ron from moving while she forced Ron's mouth open and pushed the stone as deep as she was able down his throat.
Ron violently spasmed one more time, took a staggering breath, then stopped moving.
Now two of the people she loved most in the world were in the hospital wing.
Fred and George had travelled to surprise Ron for his birthday, instead came to the awful news of their younger brother almost dying. To top it all, they also found an inert and terribly beaten Erick. They offered to fight every seventh-year Slytherin; but her boyfriend was still out cold and Mel was growing more and more worried without having to think about more fights. If he continued like this, Madam Pomfrey told her, he would have to be sent to St. Mungo's.
The girl wrote a letter to his cousin after a long night of deliberation. Joseph visited, he was helping Madame Maxime ever since he'd graduated, they were the Order's agents in France. When he found out Mel was dating Erick, Jo said he'd suspected he would end up loving her, he'd never been close to any person the way he was with her.
That's the word he used. Love.
Mel didn't think Erick loved her, if he did, he would've been honest. He would wake up. It was unfair, of course, Mel knew he was feeling alone even though he was surrounded by friendly faces. He was new to a life she had known for years, she could only imagine how stressful it must have felt for him. That one talk they'd had years ago as a terrible echo of what she'd decided to ignore:
"I know you want to see it as this endless world of possibilities, that if we try hard enough and live our lives how we want to, no one can hurt us—but is not like that... not for the most of us."
She'd refused to believe him, but it was hard not to now, staring at his unconscious form. People could hurt you if they wanted to, even if you were unafraid of living your truth.
She was making daily visits to the Hospital wing along with Harry and Hermione, who'd finally made peace with Ron. It was good having her old group of friends reinstated, most of all the fact that Harry and she were once again the best friends they used to be, rarely you'd see one without the other, and Mel fell into a comfortable routine by his side.
However, she made a point to spend most of their time accompanied by either Ron or Hermione, she didn't want to get too comfortable around him, she knew that was a dangerous thing to do. Harry took the hint and started to leave her alone during her visits to Erick, and Ron would take naps during those to give her more privacy.
She knew that Cormac and Lavender would stalk Harry with questions, the first one about Quidditch and the latter desperate to hear Ron's opinions of her. Cormac was a terrible teammate, and when she and Harry made their way towards the field on the morning of their match against Hufflepuff, Mel tried to convince Harry to knock McLaggen off his broom.
They ran into Malfoy, who was accompanied by two young girls.
"Where're you going?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I'm really going to tell you, because it's your business, Potter," Malfoy scoffed. "You'd better hurry up, they'll be waiting for 'the Chosen Captain' — 'the Boy Who Scored' — whatever they call you these days."
The students walked past them, Malfoy hadn't even tried to insult Mel. Both stood there, and she could see Harry's mind struggling to move on.
"We'll deal with that later," She said, seizing his arm and pulling him along. "C'mon, lots of people are counting on us today."
The girl needed something good in her life after all the stress, maybe throwing bludgers to the opposite team would make things better.
"Where have you been?"
"We met Malfoy..."
"So?" Ginny raised a brow.
"So I wanted to know how come he's up at the castle with a couple of girlfriends while everyone else is down here..."
"Does it matter right now?"
"Well, I'm not likely to find out, am I?" Harry frowned. "Come on then!"
Ginny gave her a questioning look to which she responded with a shrug.
"Tricky conditions!" McLaggen said once they were all out. "Dumbledore, Peakes, you'll want to fly out of the sun, so they don't see you coming—"
"I'm the Captain, McLaggen, shut up giving them instructions," Harry scolded him. "Just get up by the goalposts!" Once he left, he turned to Mel and Jimmy. "Make sure you do fly out of the sun..."
"Sure thing, Captain," Mel grinned.
Luna Lovegood was that day's commentator.
"And that's Smith of Hufflepuff with the Quaffle... He did the commentary last time, of course, and Ginny Weasley flew into him, I think probably on purpose, it looked like it. Smith was being quite rude about Gryffindor, I expect he regrets that now he's playing them — oh, look, he's lost the Quaffle, Ginny took it from him, I do like her, she's very nice..."
"Oi! Peakes!" Mel yelled, "Five galleons say you don't get to throw Smith off his broom!"
She wasn't being serious, but Smith was close enough to hear her and she couldn't resist. Peakes grinned at her and winked at Zach sort of devilish, the boy looked extremely disgruntled, but he refused to respond to Mel's threat.
"...but now that big Hufflepuff player's got the Quaffle from her, I can't remember his name, it's something like Bibble — no, Buggins —"
"It's Cadwallader!" answered Professor McGonagall.
McLaggen missed the Quaffle by a large difference, he was too busy yelling at Ginny for dropping it.
"McLaggen, will you pay attention to what you're supposed to be doing and leave everyone else alone!" Harry yelled.
"You're not setting a great example!" McLaggen responded rudely.
"And Harry Potter's now having an argument with his Keeper... I don't think that'll help him find the Snitch, but maybe it's a clever ruse..."
McLaggen did not stop, though.
"Seventy-forty to Hufflepuff!" Professor McGonagall shouted into the megaphone, for Luna was too distracted by the shapes of the clouds.
"Is it, already? Oh, look! The Gryffindor Keeper's got hold of one of the Beater's bats."
Peakes was looking at Cormac with a murderous glare, Mel tightened her grip on her own bat and attempted to move towards them, but Harry got there faster.
"Will you give him back his bat and get back to the goalposts!"
Cormac swung the bat the moment a bludger approached him... and it crashed directly against Harry's head. The boy fell off his broom, Jimmy and Mel flew towards him in no time.
Mel wrapped her arms around his middle and guided him to the ground, her heart was pounding as well as the side of her head, Harry was bleeding profusely.
"No no no..." She muttered, pushing Harry's hair out of the way and staining her fingers with blood. "You'll be okay, Glasses, please be okay..."
Some seventh-year Gryffindors took him away, he was left unconscious and the possibility of him not waking up just like Erick made her lose her temper.
The game ended in a flash of red, all she remembered was throwing bludgers around with deadly aim, but without Harry, they were fated to lose, and so they did... by two hundred and sixty points. She didn't notice, but dark, thin lines started to creep up her forearms as she landed on solid ground, her anger increasing with every step she took.
"I suppose you'll be happy, Melissa," Cormac scowled when he noticed Mel was approaching. "Your friend —"
She drew out her wand and with a swift and enraged flicker, glued his tongue to the roof of his mouth, then she petrified him. No one dared to move as she got closer, every student was staring with wide eyes. She kicked his stiff body and McLaggen fell backwards, Mel crouched next to him and whispered in a low growl:
"Look at you, McGill," She tilted her head. "Finally, a position that suits you..."
"Miss Dumbledore!" McGonagall rushed up to her, looking aghast. "What have you done?"
"A favour to humankind, Professor," The girl responded, standing up so they could talk face-to-face.
"Unpetrify him right now!"
"Is it most necessary?"
"Miss Dumbledore!"
Mel lazily flicked her wand, Cormac stood up and gesticulated wildly demanding to speak, several students laughed.
"Remove all the spells at once!" McGonagall demanded. "Twenty points will be taken from Gryffindor!"
"Mackintosh has been rude and disdainful towards the whole team for days, I think it's better if we leave him this way—"
"Detention, Miss Dumbledore!"
Mel swore under her breath, with a snap of her fingers Cormac's mouth started to function normally again. He gasped dramatically and glared at her ready to lash out, but she was having none of it.
"One more word, Carol, and I promise I won't need magic to silence you for good."
She hadn't been able to use her magic this way in months, but the thought of yet another one of her friends in the hospital wing had caused her to snap out of it. Cormac decided it was wiser to just let it pass. Ginny was cackling a few feet ahead, McGonagall took her directly to detention.
Dumbledore wouldn't be pleased about this for sure, but she didn't care. Her mind would go back to Erick, drowned in the stress of his own quest for perfection.
Hours after the game, when she was finally allowed to leave (McGonagall made her write 'I won't treat my teammates like puppets' until her parchment was full on both sides) she went to the hospital wing.
"I don't want to stay here overnight," Harry's voice was the first thing she heard, knowing he was awake quickly improved her mood. "I want to find McLaggen and kill him!"
"I'm afraid that would come under the heading of 'overexertion,'" Madam Pomfrey responded. "You will stay here until I discharge you, Potter, or I shall call the headmaster."
"D'you know how much we lost by?"
"Well, yeah I do," said Ron softly. "Final score was three hundred and twenty to sixty."
"Brilliant. Really brilliant!" He was fuming. "When I get hold of McLaggen —"
"You don't want to get hold of him, he's the size of a troll. Personally, I think there's a lot to be said for hexing him with that toenail thing of the Prince's. Anyway, the rest of the team might've dealt with him before you get out of here, they're not happy..."
"Right you are, my King," Mel casually walked up to them.
"There you are!" Ron said brightly. "How was detention?"
"Detention?" Harry frowned, his head was tightly wrapped in bandages. "What happened?"
"I attacked McLaggen," She sat on his bed, then added gravely: "Once the game ended, of course, I would never disobey a direct order from my Captain. I petrified him."
"Really?"
"She did!" Ron laughed. "Called him wrong names the whole time, kicked him to the ground — Ginny said it was beautiful."
"I can accept Melody," She explained. "But I draw the line at Melissa."
The boys laughed, Harry seemed much lighter now that he knew Mel had taken care of Cormac.
"I could hear the match commentary from here," said Ron, still grinning. "I hope Luna always commentates from now on..."
"So the whole team came to check on you?"
"Nah, only Ginny," Ron responded. "She reckons you two only just arrived on time for the match. How come? You left here early enough."
"Oh... Yeah... well, we saw Malfoy sneaking off with a couple of girls who didn't look like they wanted to be with him, and that's the second time he's made sure he isn't down on the Quidditch pitch with the rest of the school; he skipped the last match too, remember? Wish I'd followed him now, the match was such a fiasco..."
"Don't be stupid, you couldn't have missed a Quidditch match just to follow Malfoy, you're the Captain!"
"Besides, it was only a fiasco after you left, we would've won if it weren't for McDonald..."
"I want to know what he's up to. And don't tell me it's all in my head, not after what I overheard between him and Snape —"
"I never said it was all in your head, but there's no rule saying only one person at a time can be plotting anything in this place! You're getting a bit obsessed with Malfoy, Harry. I mean, thinking about missing a match just to follow him..."
"I want to catch him at it! I mean, where's he going when he disappears off the map?"
"I dunno... Hogsmeade?" Ron yawned.
"I've never seen him going along any of the secret passageways on the map. I thought they were being watched now anyway?"
Mel and Ron shrugged, the three of them fell into contemplative silence, although Ron looked positively asleep after ten minutes.
"I wish I could've seen you attacking McLaggen," Harry mumbled after a while.
"I was too immature, I shouldn't have done that," She sighed. "Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it, though."
Harry smiled a little, then he lowered his head in defeat.
"Hey," She squeezed his hand. "We'll find out what Malfoy's planning, don't let it consume you."
"I'm not—"
"You said I needed a break from my studies and I listened. I'm asking you to do the same... I know what stress can do to people," She looked at Erick, her throat tightening at the sight. "I don't want you to leave me as well..."
Harry's eyes lingered on her face, his hand closed tightly around her bloodstained fingers.
"Mel..." He gulped. "I..."
The faintest groan was heard on the bed next to Harry's. Mel bolted upright, her head turning towards the large figure laying there.
"Erick?" She asked, holding her breath.
She didn't want to get excited, false alarms had occurred before. Harry was looking intently as well, they exchanged a look and Mel crawled towards the left side of his mattress so she could face the Slytherin.
She stood up and slowly sat down on Erick's bed, she said his name again, almost like a plea, and his head moved towards the sound.
"You better wake up for good this time," She grabbed his hand, the fingertips of her free hand grazed the side of his face. "Squeeze my hand if you hear me..."
He didn't move.
"Do anything..." She begged.
"Mel," Harry started carefully, "he's just—"
"Hang..." Erick replied with the groggiest of voices. "Hang on a moment, Princess... I'll dance on top of a table if you want—as soon as the room stops moving..."
"Erick!" She got closer to his face and cupped his cheeks gently. "You're back!"
"I never left," He replied, moving a little without opening his eyes. "Dear Merlin, I feel like I'm made of cardboard..."
"That's what happens when you sleep for too long, mate," Harry replied, staring at him with as much relief as her.
At the sound of his voice, Erick moved his head to the right and opened his eyes a little.
"Harry," He squinted. "Is that Ron behind you?"
As a reply, Ron snored loudly. Erick looked up at Mel and hissed in pain, she noticed his eyes were bloodshot, but she was pleased to see them anyway.
"Hey," He groaned, one hand rubbing his sore neck. "Am I dreaming?"
Her only answer was weak a laugh, thick tears fell down her face as she leaned forward to kiss him.

❝ i like to imagine that 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 a girl takes 𝖗𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖊 for me . she closes her eyes and dreams . she unfolds . she is insignificant and larger than life . ❞ --- odysseus elytis , the girls .
* ╰ in the teal glow of the goblet’s flames , a name simmers . what makes you worthy of eternal glory , romilda vane ? surely not your sordidly vulpine & contumacious nature , for that would undoubtedly stray to failure . perhaps if your prayers to merlin were heard , your prolix & brassy temperament would glean you an edge , but i wouldn’t count on it , especially with the rest of hogwarts against you . one would think you’d known better , as an 18 year old fourth year , but apparently that pesky gryffindor intransigence is particularly fiendish today . after all , these factors make up a champion , but even for a staunchly cis female adhering to she & her pronouns , it does nothing to help that only in the mirror of erised do you resemble brittany o’grady , especially with those bitten lips , perpetually curled into hap - hazard smirk . now , are you slipping that paper in or not ?
𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉 𝖔𝖓𝖊 . ╱ 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙨 .
full name : romilda harriet vane .
nicknames : milly , sometimes . romy .
date of birth : may fifteenth .
place of birth : salisbury , great britain .
gender identity & pronouns : cis female , she/her .
sexual orientation : bisexual .
romantic orientation : biromantic .
house : gryffindor .
𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉 𝖙𝖜𝖔 . ╱ 𝙗𝙞𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮 .
romilda harriet vane , born to susie and jeremiah vane , is the first of two girls that the vane family were cursed blessed with . older by about three years , her relationship with emma is contingent to what kind of day it is , what side of the bed she wakes up on & whether she’s in a halfway decent mood . it’s v much a typical sibling relationship ????? idk what else to say about it
magic has crackled under her fingertips since before she really knew what to do with it . it’s a family trait , really --- --- - susie’s outbursts started before the age of six , jeremiah’s started at eight ; it’s no surprise to anyone that the eldest vane girl was sending toy owls whistling around the living room at three , giggling in delight whilst her baby sister gurgled at the sight .
the vanes are moderately wealthy , i guess ?? susie comes from money & secured herself a high - paying job with the ministry of magic right out of the gate , & jeremiah did fairly similar . regardless , romilda’s very aware that she lives a comfortable lifestyle and that there’ll always be money there when she needs it . she’s also aware that she has the ability to flaunt that modicum of wealth , and takes no shame in doing so .
throughout her early education , it becomes clear that romilda has the potential to be an incredibly talented witch ; it comes naturally to her , as naturally as breathing / even muggle schoolwork proves no particular struggle --- the issue is motivation , something she lacks . she’ll always prefer giggling in a group with friends to actually doing any kind of work . that changes later , but it’s something that lingers for a while .
cue entry into hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry at tender age of fourteen and a whole life is spun into reverse ; she can’t scrape by doing the barest minimum anymore , and finally comes to the realisation that she’s got to put some fucking elbow grease into this shit --- talent is nothing without support . personage shifts overnight and almost suddenly she’s focused , ready to work , ready to do what she has to do in order to prove that she belongs here .
let’s not kid ourselves , she’s still a [ scott pilgrim vc ] gossipy bitch but it’s different --- her free time is spent doing homework , actively working on practising different spells and charms and potions , she’s finally got a drive and it’s pushing her closer and closer to glory every single day she tries at it .
did i mention : i love her
so --- she’s got the right intentions at the best of times , but it’s the execution that leaves her flailing in metaphorical cow shit . she genuinely wants to do right by her friends and by herself , but dramatic nature is inbuilt and has no plans to be removed . it’s head versus nature at the best of times and nature has a tendency to win out .
she’s got a good heart , and all of her motives are good --- she just needs to work on them .
𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉 𝖙𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊 . ╱ 𝙛𝙪𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙨 .
her favourite subject is , far and away , divination . she likes the idea of being able to see her own future and the futures of those around her ; mainly , she loves the idea of being able to peer into other people’s business , nosy cow that she is .
she’s a big old romantic at heart tbh ??? she’s in love with the idea of romance , of being whisked away and cherished whilst simultaneously being absolutely terrified of actually letting people in and allowing herself to fall in love . she forms a million different crushes per day , but none of them last / she knows what she’s looking for , but it’s letting it in that’s the hard part . she’s also literally eighteen , so take everything she says about romance with a grain of salt .
hey google , who’s the biggest fucking gossip in all of gryffindor house ?? you know it . she’ll know the latest rumour about you before it’s even spread ; she’s got so many sources that it borders on scary sometimes .
can’t play quidditch to save her life . she likes the concept , but it’s just not happening for her anytime soon .
big coffee fan . she’s usually got a thermos by her side , because she doesn’t really function that well in the mornings unless she’s had her first two coffees .
shamelessly follows fashion trends . she just likes looking modern and trendy and will wear literally anything that looks even slightly en vogue .
smells like cotton candy with a lingering hint of lavender and coffee . it’s not an unpleasant scent at all , but the coffee is a strange edge to an otherwise sweet scent .
currently owns a beautiful jet - black owl called miranda . at home , she’s got a cat named caliban and a menagerie of other animals --- she’s the biggest softie for animals , really . you’d think she’d be better at care of magical creatures for it , but oh well .
that canon dramatic voice is staying / she literally speaks like she’s performing monologues 24/7 . babygirl needs to calm down and remember that she’s actually not gunning for the magical academy’s best actress award . you’re not hogwarts’ answer to meryl streep , calm it .
𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉 𝖋𝖔𝖚𝖗 . ╱ 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 .
╰ ◦ ♡ ―― girls just wanna have fun . --- pls give her a little friend group that are full on ride or die / it’s giggling on the train and going to bathrooms in a giant group , staying up late in a common room and gossiping and looking out for each other when they need it . it’s a sweet friendship that’s lasted since first year and doesn’t look like it’s about to break .
╰ ◦ ♡ ―― someone tell the boys they’re not important anymore . --- are boys entirely useless ?? yes . is that going to stop her from daydreaming and falling in love with every single one she meets , along with a handful of girls that have the misfortune to enter her periphery ? no . she’s got the biggest gaggle of crushes , all with virtually nothing in common except for the fact that they've all made cameos in her overdramatic daydreams .
