he should pull away from her, keep her safe by keeping her away from him. he'd been breaking the law for two years now. he didn't deserve her. and still he held her hand, his thumb caressing soft circles into her skin. ' lily, ' his voice was practically a whisper. he should walk away from her, let her find someone better, instead he wanted to pull her closer. ' i need to tell you something. '

☢ What fads/trends are you so over? // @vivaciousandcharming

THIS style of deep-fried over-sharpened unspeakably tiny icon. I look at things like this and think why use an icon at all? At best, there's no way anyone can see what is going on with it. At worst, it's a massive eye strain to everyone else. i don't even mind any one asset here on its own -- longer than they are tall icons, cool borders, framing, text on icons, high-contrast and brightness, playing with PSDs or colorwash, whatever. It's your blog, do whatever.

But I refuse to believe anyone actually thinks this looks good. i cannot wait for this 'aesthetic' to die.

prompt: river song dialogue.

Thus Lily's voice chimes from behind Mary, and the sound causes her to tense up. For a moment she considers lying to her, tell her that nothing is wrong, what makes her think so ?, but this thought is pushed aside just as quickly as it came, with added disgust at herself for even thinking so.

It's wrong to lie, even worse it's to lie to Lily and not tell her that… ❝ there's… ❞ Mary begins, but her voice falters. It's here that she turns to face her friend, and after a moment of visible hesitation, she walks towards her. ❝ Snape is outside, that's what's wrong, ❞ she tells her then, and the trembling note of fear in the tone of her voice sounds clear despite its low volume. She could have told her this without leaving the entrance, of course, and much louder, but she didn't want the sound to carry outside and alert Snape that she was talking about him, referring his message.

Lowering her head, Mary looks up at Lily from under her lashes, then flickers her gaze away, looking around to make sure there is no one else in the common room or is about to make an appearance from the dormitories. It's just them, now, but soon their housemates will return, and if they, too, see Snape outside what will they do ? What will happen ? Will they tell him to leave, like she should've ? ❝ Before I entered, he told me that… that he doesn't want to leave, that he is going to wait outside until morning for a chance to talk with you, ❞ she continues, then adds: ❝ what should I do, Lily ? Should I go tell professor McGonagall ? ❞

♥ What's the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise?

I had to think about this, to be honest, because I really try to just sit in my corner and stay out of things that seem like they might go bad. But a long time ago, like... idk probably early 2010s I joined a group rp for a friend. Our muses always had good chemistry and apparently someone in that group took issue with it and decided to make my life miserable because of it. That was the first and only time I joined a group rp haha. In hindsight it doesnt seem like a huge deal but at the time it put me off the whole thing.

♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?

When i came back to the RPC I had to deal with a lot of crap in the stranger things RPC. The mildly annoying one that comes to mind is someone constantly sending me anons about someone i didnt even write with constantly.

A dull roar in the background rose and fell in various pitches and volume, chatter blended between excited and obnoxious, echoing throughout the Great Hall. Close to summer and the students were antsy, eager to finish last exams and essays and burn off all that eager energy by applying what they’d learned the past year at Hogwarts and unleash it out in the real world. Those that were of age to practice, anyway. Which was why the Hall and the corridors were sparkled with various colors, away from the observant eyes of the faculty staff, who always seemed to know what was going on regardless.

Marlene was being nosy as usual, catching the smallest bits of conversation around the Gryffindor table and the like, amused endlessly as she continuously shot Lily her reactive expressions to each tangent she caught that was interesting. “Someone’s getting kicked off the Quidditch team from Ravenclaw — er, no… scratch that. Someone’s trying to get someone kicked off the Ravenclaw team cause they’re terrible. Why not just bench ‘em? Bet the complainer is worse~” Snickering to herself, Marlene dove over and the table, plucking food off of Lily’s plate, just within ear reach to hear Lily’s inquisitive inquiry. ‘Do you think a dog Animagus could have puppies?’ If it was in the text Lily was reading, or an essay, or a spontaneous thought, Marlene didn’t know — all that happened was Marlene proceeded to choke on her biscuit, stuttering between being caught off-guard and wanting to find a joke in there somewhere.

“Bloody hell, Lily. Gotta warn a girl before talkin’ pups at the table!” Sniffing, she neatly, after not so neatly hacking up a lung, dabbed at the corners of her mouth with a napkin. “What brought that on…? Is it cause the boys are stuffing their faces like starved, wild animals?” She jabbed a finger down the table, surprisingly not to James and the lot but others in their House. “Oi! S’not goin’ anywhere! Save some for the rest of us?!” Smirking at Lily, Marlene went back to her biscuit. “You’d think they’d just had marathon sex the way they’re inhaling everything. Highly doubt that’s the case.” It then dawned on her, the reason Lily was inquiring. “… did I miss an assignment… my mind’s on summer time~ cannot be bothered.”

james potter had matured a lot over the past two years. it started in their fifth year -- due to sirius's large mistake (that he was still making up to remus for) and then sirius running away the summer before their sixth (he still sometimes had nightmares about the state sirius had been in when he showed up.) both things really sobered him up. plus, the added pressure of the 'what do you want to do after school' meeting with mcgonagall had gotten him all studious.

his auror answer had even surprised him. he'd always assumed playing quidditch professionally was what his future held for him.

despite this newfound maturity -- he still had a tendency to...do things that one might not deem as mature. james couldn't remember who started it -- he swore it was sirius but sirius said it had been peter, and he hadn't noticed remus hiding his laugh as the three of them argued -- but the four of them began hurling snowballs at each other in the middle of the court yard. james had valiantly protected a few first years and got some of the older students to come and join. snowballs were flying through the air, snow forts built to hide behind -- which was exactly what he'd been doing. he could hear sirius's laugh, so distinctive and something he can pick out from a large crowd of people because of he knew him like the back of his hand. he turned the corner and threw the snowball that sat in his now drenched gloves -- and his eyes widen when sirius ducked and the snowball hit lily evans instead.

well that was certainly a way for his girlfriend to get angry with him.

james cursed under his breath and he quickly called for a time out for him, jogging over to her and offering an apologetic smile. his nose and cheeks were flushed, from the cold and all the running around that he'd been doing. snow stuck into his dark locks that stick up in all different directions from the several snowballs that had also collided with his head. an apologetic smile was on his face as he approached her, tugging his gloves off to reveal just how cold his hands were because of how pink the palms of his hands and tips of his fingers were. "sorry, i didn't know you were there. it was meant for sirius, but he's just too fast." it worked out on the pitch, though. there was a reason he and marlene were the beaters. he reaches up to brush the snow that stuck to her auburn hair away -- clear concern on his expression as hazel eyes flicked over her to make sure that she hadn't been actually hurt. "promise i won't hurl any more snowballs at you."

breathing heavily , remus clung to the stone steps , his face white as a sheet && beads of sweat DRIPPING down his expression . fit to collapse , he clung desperately to the bannisters , trying to remain completely upright . but he was struggling . he would not make up back up the stairs alone . it SEEMED possible that he was going to spend some time here before anyone found him .

turning his head over the side of the stone , remus retched up his very insides , knuckles white as he held on trying to ensure he didn't keel over .

a small string of swears && curses left his chapped pale lips , before coughing up some phlegm . he still had two days to go . if it was bad like this today , then merlin knows what it would be like tomorrow . thoughts turning , he STUMBLED , falling to sit on the ground , face pressed up hard against the rough texture of the cobbled stone , feeling the cooling temperature bring down his raging spike . he just managed barely to open his eyes as he saw lily approach .

❝ i'm SORRY , ❞ he managed . ❝ i wasn't flaking , i promise i was on my way to patrols -- ❞ he closed his eyes again && made to move , hand pushing himself up before stopping . ❝ i just felt ... i felt a little DIZZY . ❞ he finished lamely . // @vivaciousandcharming wanted a sick remus

he was not a stranger to hallucinations. twelve years in azkaban were not kind to one's mental health, and he'd never had a particularly healthy mental state to begin with. so, no, seeing his dead friends was not surprising. ' look, evans, i've told you before, you can't just come in here whenever you please! i've got things to do. ' he didn't. he had nothing to do. he was just sitting in grimmauld place, waiting to be useful, hallucinating all the people he had failed.

I heard a rumour that Marlene Mckinnion is gayer than Angela Davis could ever hope to be.

rumor has it -- always accepting

"and lily has the biggest lady boner for potter." a pause, as she smirked. "oh, sorry. were we supposed to be spreading rumors? i thought we were just stating facts."

@vivaciousandcharming sent a letter to mary macdonald: ‘‘ Mary, my love. My darling, my sunshine. Please come sledding with me. ’’

prompt: impromptu.

The more Lily speaks, the more Mary's smile, which started as a small, greeting one, widens, until she can feel her cheeks start to hurt. Chiming laughter follows - bubbling up her throat and past her lips in a short, joyful burst. ❝ Ah, dear, dear Lily, ❞ she says, head turning this way and then that way in short, emphasizing movements at each dear. ❝ I thought you'd never ask ! ❞ when she looked up from her book ( one about healing magic, per suggestion of madam Pomfrey ) and noticed her friend had come to a stop in front of her, what she expected to hear certainly was not this. Which doesn't make her invitation an unwelcome one, mind ! Rather, it comes at just the right time, since she was just about to fall asleep on her book, and it would be nice, she thinks, to take a break - she has been studying for a while, now, hasn't she ? ❝ Do you want to go now ? ❞ she asks her then, bookmarking the book before closing it and placing it on the couch, near her hip. ❝ Do I have the time to put on something more warm ? ❞

@vivaciousandcharming sent: ❛ Still alive, are you? ❜ — From Lily Potter to Sirius Black ✨

‘Still alive, are you?’ Sirius should’ve expected to be met with nothing but disdain given the recent, false allegations floating around the Wizarding World regarding his name, which just so happened to be stamped in bold across every headline the Daily Prophet had to offer. Sirius could handle everyone else thinking he was a murderer.. a traitor.. but to be met with such trepidation and doubt from one of the kindest people he knew who just so happened to be his good friend once upon a time? Sirius didn’t know if he’d ever felt pain like it before. It was agony to be believed capable of crimes so horrid by the those closest to you.

Perhaps lurking outside the Potters’ home unannounced in the middle of the night before Lily caught him snooping hadn’t helped much with his case. But what had he been supposed to do? March right up to their front door and knock when nobody but a select few were supposed to know where James and Lily resided? That would only make him look more suspicious than he already did.

Months of tracking them down in hopes to clear his name all came down to this moment— a moment to prove that he wasn’t the person they needed to watch their backs for. They hadn’t been difficult to find at all, a concerning thought the more Sirius pondered on it. Because if he’d been able to track them down without much trouble? Sirius feared the next person who showed up wouldn’t be a friendly face.

“You sound disappointed.” Afraid, even. The look on her face said it all. “..I know what this looks like. But I’m.. I’m not here to harm you.” Proof of that, Sirius took his wand and tossed it aside in hopes she’d lower her own and hear him out instead of jumping to conclusions. “Lily, d’you really think I’d have what it takes to betray you and James? You and James are my family.” Maybe not by blood, but the bond he’d built with them over the years greatly triumphed the almost nonexistent relationship he had with his blood relatives.

Would his claim be enough to ease Lily with tensions already heightened and trust broken? Probably not. Sirius couldn’t exactly blame her for being wary of him either. Not with her life on the line, as well as James’ and their infant. “I didn’t commit those murders. Someone’s framing me.” And he had a strong inkling as to who the real rat was. He just needed to find evidence first.

You and Wynonna should kiss btw.

Remus is standing there in the common room, a still full butterbeer in his hand when he turns to face Lily, dumbfounded for a moment before he furrows his brow in irritation. He strongly disagrees. They should absolutely do nothing of the sort, but already he can see in his other friends' faces that the idea is gathering steam. Sirius and Peter look ecstatic at the suggestion and Remus would like to curse all of them into oblivion. Ironically, he feels like a sacrificial lamb being offered up to a hungry wolf.

"What's the matter, Lu?" @heartsdefine asks, appearing beside him, a nearly empty drink in one hand, her other trailing teasingly over his back and shoulder as she moves in front of him. Her eyes lift to the ceiling where a sprig of mistletoe hangs before she looks at him and shrugs. "Since you're such a stickler for the rules," she says not hiding her sarcasm in the least. The only person he's ever put any real effort to enforcing school rules on as Prefect has been her, which they are both well aware of.

"Everything going on right now is against the rules." It's well past curfew and she's not even supposed to be here at all.

Wynonna laughs, toying with the tie he's still wearing, despite the fact this is supposed to be a party and he's supposed to be relaxing, one last celebration until everyone leaves for the holidays. "Oh, come on, don't you know how to have any fun?" Her blue eyes meet his with a knowing look. They had a little fun once before, but she'd been the one to initiate it...now it's his turn.

There's a few murmurs from the onlookers but Remus only hears one voice, Sirius, saying if Remus doesn't, he will. Wynonna looks over her shoulder, laughing, grinning and before he knows it, he's moving. His hand reaches out, taking her face in his hand to turn her back to face him. He barely registers the hint of surprise on her features before he pulls her closer, kissing her, a real kiss, a proper kiss, no mere peck. He doesn't even hear the hoots and hollers from the others anymore.
