love is the whole core of the earth. hate cannot hope to conquer us. we remember our nature. we hold on.

louis-w:

As if Louis wasn’t already impressed with what he’s seen since being at Maladah, discovering just how much more useable space there is here has certainly sealed the deal. Hogwarts is huge, of course, but finding space to run through a routine without worrying about crashing into bookshelves or cold stone walls or even the odd wandering ghost has proven tricky in the past.

“Okay, you’re definitely going to have to DRAG me back to Hogwarts at this rate.  This place just gets better and better. I mean, come on! Look how much room  I have to move here.”

“you big dork,” annette’s grin was wide, her voice full of affection as she pounced on her cousin’s back. “if anything, i’ll drag you back to beauxbatons. hogwarts can’t have you back----i’m taking all my cousins back to france with me. you’ll love it, obviously, because i’ll be there.”

After hearing the story, James felt more like this was a beginning for Annette then an end, but he would humor her ‘sorrows’ for the moment. “But then who would watch the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice with you?” James held up the DVDs in display. “How about today we binge watch and tomorrow we see how we feel about going to class?”

“i’d let you visit,” her voice was muffled, mostly due to the fact that her arm was now laid across her face, a dramatic sigh accompanying her statement as she moved to look at him. a moment passed before she relented; how was she supposed to resist the offer of no classes and a pride and prejudice marathon? “FINE----but you know, lizzie bennett never knocked mr. darcy off a pier into the ocean. i bet he wouldn’t have proposed to her twice if she had.”

“no, i can’t go to class today, james----i can’t go anywhere---my life is officially over. maybe grandmama will let me raise cats on her land and i can live out my humiliation in solitude. bernard could always use a few siblings.”

rhysbae:

rhys had avoided drinking that night despite the beautiful surrounds and dex’s hands filling with drinks only to give to him. usually he would be more than happy to drink his share but in unfamiliar surroundings and anxiety in areas that didn’t always respect personal bubbles; he decided it’d be best to stay sober. – and luckily he did. rhys returned to the pier just moments before she did. what was her name again? his small preparation to say a quick hi had gone to waste as she stumbled– and stepped off the pier. it took him two steps to get to her, arm circling her waist to pull her into him but his momentum paired with gravity ( thanks world ) sent them both into the water. 

the waves were, thankfully, rather calm making it easier for him to swim and bring her along until his feet hit the sand. from the moment they’d fallen he’d held onto her, keeping her close and making sure that her head, other than initially, never went below the water. “괜찮아요?” he asked wiping the saltwater from his eyes before sweeping his hair out of his face.

it all happened so fast; one moment she felt herself falling, the next she and whoever had helped her were both in the water. while she tried---and failed---to swim in heels, he held her close and pulled her along, and annette clung to him as she blinked the water out of her eyes and finally recognized the boy from earlier. “i-----what?” she panicked for a moment, not understanding him and not feeling the same reassuring sand under her feet that he did, “i can’t---i don’t know what you’re saying----oh my god, i----i knocked a cute boy into the ocean and i broke our runic bracelets. i’m never going to live this down.” she murmured, more to herself than to him. breathing deeply, her eyes finally met his, apologetic as she floundered for something to say that he’d understand, “i’m sorry,” was all she came up with, “are you----did i hurt you?” her eyes trailed over his face, fingers skimming his jaw as she looked for any injuries.

pippagraves:

Pippa found herself in an apathetic haze ( not one of her own design ) but the POP!! of a champagne cork whizzing close to another bystander finally sparked a reaction. “Did it hit you?? No?? Take a glass or take the portkey —- either way, it’s a party, not a funeral.”

annette laughed, apologizing to the disgruntled party-goer for her cousin, “she really is sorry----” she managed to get out before they left. “more for us, then!”

maxxflint:

max tried his best to follow the girl’s outlines of the constellations she was naming in the sky. he had love for the stars, but clearly nowhere as much as she did considering he only knew a handful of them, books being one of the constellations he didn’t know about. had she said books? or had she said boots? he had no idea, but he didn’t want to ask for clarification. “that’s amazing. and you’re right, they are pretty.” a smile was on his face, his attention still up at the night sky. “where are you from?”

“beauxbatons, can’t you tell?” to be fair, her accent was perhaps not as pronounced as some of her classmates, thanks to her extended family, but it still slipped out every now and again. “i’m annette, bardon----and i recognize you from the durmstrang group. is durmstrang really as scary as people say it is? you don’t seem scary.”

[annxttebardon]

@rhysbae

it was late, annette was tired (and only a bit tipsy), and with rory, nat, or james nowhere to be found, she’d gone to get a portkey back to the pier by herself. she grabbed the shot glass that was handed to her, waiting a few moments for the familiar tug of the portkey----except this time, it made her dizzier than usual. as the world slowed down, she moved her left foot back to steady herself---which might have worked, had she not landed on the edge of the pier, her foot finding nothing but air as she felt herself falling, “oh----!”

@annxttebardon

“So, I’ve come up with a plan – next weekend, Aquaventure group outing? We could all grab an inner=-tube and brave the rapids of the waterpark. You think anyone would be interested?” Of course, they were there to interact with their fellow wixen about all, as was the point of the Colligo tournament, but James couldn’t fathom not taking advantage of them all being together like this and making the most of it. “A brochure even mentioned snorkeling.”

“i think everyone would be interested, jamie----and it sounds perfect! can we try the zip-lining, too? i know we can fly, but it seems like the muggle way would be a lot of fun, too.” annette knew this tournament----getting to see so many places and meet so many people----would be a thrill, but the best part was undoubtedly getting to spend the year with so much of her family, family she didn’t get to see nearly as often as she’d like to. she linked her arm with his, scooting up to rest her chin on his shoulder as she asked, “are you having fun? have you made any new friends? has everyone figured out what a total grandpa you are?”

roxannexxolivia:

“I always thought so. The curse of being a Weasley, aye?” Rox leaned into the table, finishing off her cider with a cheeky smirk. “Well, we already know that you and I get along just fine – perhaps you’d care to introduce me to a few compatible signs from your school, hmm?”

“i had always heard that the curse of being a weasley was the red hair,” annette mused, drumming her fingers against the table, “as for beauxbatons, i don’t want to brag or anything, but we’re clearly an attractive lot. and no secret weasleys, so you can have your pick. or we could go scouting out fresh blood together.”

maxxflint:

after an hour long internal self-debate, max decided to attend the after party. he wasn’t normally one for parties, but he was one for alcohol. others usually preferred his drunk self over his sober self—or so he had been told multiple times before, on many different occasions.

max raised his glass to his lips and took a sip of his drink. he looked up at the open night sky, noticing the stars. he furrowed his eyebrows, focusing his eyes as best as he could. “is that—merlin, is that a constellation?” he asked out loud to no one in particular. he didn’t know if his eyes were deceiving him or not.

annette laughed, leaning her head back, drink in hand. “of course they are----can’t you see them from durmstrang?” she sighed; she couldn’t imagine; beauxbatons may not have the most noted astronomy program, but they still had a beautiful view, even with the naked eye. “that one,” she traced, “is hercules, and draco right next to it, though you can’t see all of the stars in that one. the end of draco, see, snakes between ursa major and minor, and then the big one to the left, the kind of boxy one? is boötes. it’s pretty, isn’t it?”

roxannexxolivia:

“Okay, I’ll bite —-” the brunette laughed, pleased to see someone else trying to make the most of the masses of students they had packed into the ballroom. “Sagittarius. The archer – a fire sign.” 

“fiery---seems like it fits,” annette beamed at roxanne, glad someone was playing along, “now we just need to find one of your most compatible signs: aries, libra---moi, actually---aquarius, or leo.”

clarasmoreau:

     It was overwhelming – all of the people. It had been YEARS since Clarabel had to navigate something like this and she felt equally fascinated & anxious. Still, it was a privilege she’d enjoy, a privilege she’d take in though she didn’t have much time to just observe before a girl – who was from the same school Caleb was at & also French. Her …. sign? Her face twisted into something mixed with confusion and interest, “I was born May 16th, is that good or bad?? This does seem very VERY fun. ”

“it’s good, of course it’s good---you’re a taurus, by the way. the bull, which some people say means stubborn but really it means loyal, and patient, and grounded.” annette rattled off, “does any of that fit? am i the next cassandra trelawney?”
