"Why are you always so happy?" areyouinthebeyond

@areyouinthebeyond

This wasn’t an uncommon question she was asked. The blonde witch was often questioned as to why and how she managed to stay as up beat as she did, “Because I know better things are to come. Exciting and wonderful things I can all make happen with a single decision and it doesn’t make sense to me to make the world seem so horrible by letting negative thoughts get to me. Why let something eat away at you when tomorrow that thing may not even matter to you anymore?”

“And when you are feeling down what makes it better? Friends, maybe family? Imagine being upset and someone you care about needing you… That is another reason to stay happy. To look on the bright side, at least in my case. I feel for those I care about. I feel their pain, sorrow, and glee all quite literally as they approach me. If I cannot keep my own emotions light and happy then I would drown under the weight of those I care for as all.. It is just something I have been able to do since I was little and I learned to be happy to balance it out, but I am not always happy. I just hide when I am not..”

areyouinthebeyond:

“J-just everything. The things I See, the emotions you feel from everyone… it’s just too much sometimes.”

Sybill went silent for a moment, forcing herself to believe that Pandora wouldn’t disappear if she were to let go. Finally, she raised her head, though she couldn’t bring herself to look the other witch in the eyes.

“Does it ever tire you? Staying happy for so long even when you don’t want to be?”

Pandora nods understanding and for the silent moment that they had she gently rocked the other that was in her arms. Slender fingers running through Sybill’s wild hair.

“I always want to be happy..” she starts softly, moving a hand to cup Sybill’s cheek her thumb gently stroking it as she shifts Sybill’s head so that she would look at her, “Happiness is all I want, but sometimes it is tiring and I break. And it’s not because I don’t want to be happy in that moment, because I would want n o t h i n g more, but it is because I am exhausted and overwhelmed. Everyone has those moments, even me..” she speaks so soft and sweet.

Sybill allowed herself to be turned towards Pandora, but couldn't bring herself to look at her. "I want to be happy. And I should be, because I have you, but..."

Her voice broke again as she felt a mix of sadness and anger course through her. "I'm not. And I'm not sure I know exactly why."

Marriage Act|| Sybill & Severus

areyouinthebeyond

Whatever sympathy Sybill felt for her colleague vanished as he spoke. As if her slap had been anymore painful than his words.

“And if you find yourself inconvenienced and resorting to cruel insults like a spoiled little child again, you can expect similar consequences,” she all but snarled at him.

“Now, if you don’t have anything helpful to say about this situation, then you can see yourself out. I have better things to do with my time than listen to your complaints.”

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Severus face, as if he had been waiting for her to try and threaten him as well. Taking a step towards her, he caught her wrists in his hand and squeezed painfully tight, cocking his head as if to say ‘I warned you’.

‟You do not want me as your enemy , Sybill„ He hissed.

‟Do not for once think you can outperform me- I’ve seen things you cannot imagine and I know spells you wouldn’t dream of casting- so by all means…think before you speak to me so indignantly again.„

Oh, it was petty to threaten the poor woman like that, for she was as unwilling in this as he was- and in all fairness he had started this off with his cruel remarks and harsh treatment. Nevertheless, Severus went on, glaring down at her with as much contempt as he could muster.

‟And I would very much like to leave you here- but unfortunately we are expected to sign the papers in less than 2 hours, so I am afraid we have certain things to discuss.„

Sybill yelped as he grabbed her wrists, his grip nearly bringing tears to her eyes. All at once, he was too close and she was suffocating, finally cowering under his gaze. No, she did not want him as her enemy, but he seemed determined to make himself as such.

She wanted to fight back, to express her doubts in his words. To tell him things she herself had Seen, to prove she was far from the incompetent witch he seemed to think she was. But in all honesty, something about him had always made her uneasy, and the pain he was putting her through only confirmed her fears.

"W-what do you want to discuss?" she asked, refusing to raise her head and meet his intense glare.

Sybill rarely had visitors during the summer, so the knock on her door was a surprise. It may have been a few years since she had been in school, and even longer that Sybill had had her as a student, but the Seer recognized her immediately.

“Amaria! It’s so wonderful to see you! Come in!” Opening the door wider, she moved to the side to let the woman in.

It had been too long since Amaria had visited Professor Trelawney, although she gave up her class soon after O.W.Ls she had forged a friendship with the Professor when she had been going through a hard time and now she considered her to be quite a good friend. Wandering up the winding staircase to the Sybil’s tower room she smiled knocking on the door and seeing her old professors space.

“Hello Professor!” She spoke embracing the woman briefly before wandering into her classroom and falling into her favourite chair. “How have you been?”

Sybill hugged her back tightly before closing the door and turning back to her guest.

“Well, I suppose you can call me Sybill now, dear,” she said with a laugh. Sitting down across from Amaria, she continued. “I’ve been fine. Same as always. How about you?”

Amaria smiled looking to her Professor, it would seem to weird for her to call her Sybil but still as strange and peculiar as it now was to call her Professor which meant she as unsure what to actually do.

“I’ve been well, Mungos is keeping me busy now and I’m still working the odd shift at the three broomsticks.” She commented contently, Amaria was happy now in her life.

“That’s wonderful! How is it working at St. Mungos?”

Sybill couldn’t help the pride she felt for Amaria. She had always been an excellent student and determined to succeed. No longer did she appear to be the young girl mourning the loss of her father. It was both strange and heartwarming to see a rare light shining in the girl’s eyes.

Amaria looked up to Sybil and smiled. “Working at Mungos, it good. I feel proud as if I’m actually working towards making the world a better place and that I might actually be achieving something more important.”

Despite dropping Sybil’s class after OWLs she still maintained a good relationship with her of teacher.

Sybill smiled, happy to hear how well she had been doing. “I always knew you would make a great healer. Though I imagine it’s not the easiest position.”

Amaria looked to her old professor thoughtfully. “You are the seer so I suppose you certainly did know… although I’d hardly call myself great.” It wasn’t Amaria being humble but honest, she felt that she should always have been pushing herself harder as she was the hardest upon herself.

Sybill shook her head. “Nonsense. I know how hard you work, and you would excel at any job you do.”

Standing to make some tea, she asked, “How about life outside of work? I can hardly find anything to do with myself when I don’t have class.”

“I barely have time for anything outside of work! I’m almost constantly at Mungos and if I’m honest Professor, that’s just how I like it.”

Sybill laughed, glad to see Amaria so excited. "Well, I hope you aren't overworking yourself."

Bringing two cups of tea over to the table, she settled back into her seat. "So, I take it this is a rare time off for you if work keeps you so busy."

A new acquaintance

“Oh, this is my first teaching position,” Sybill answered, finding the trip up the North Tower to be as tiring as before. The mention of her unsuccessful jobs took her by surprise. Minerva was far from her employer; why did she care so much about looking into her background?

“N-no, but it will involve me using my divination skills, so i-it is an excellent opportunity.”

Grimacing at the doorway, she bent to fit her tall figure under the frame. “Yes, it’s very nice,” she said with a smile. Anything was better than her rented one-room at the Hog’s Head.

Perhaps Minerva had been too judgemental on Sybill, too hard but that was how Minerva was. She couldn’t let just anyone in to teach the school, of course it wasn’t her school but it was her home, it had always been her home and the students, her family.

“I couldn’t agree more”, Minerva replied, her tone lighter than it had been.

Minerva was a lady who enjoyed her space, looking around the quarters it was far too cramped for her liking but she could see how it could become very homely. “Do you have more belongings coming?” She wasn’t trying to intrude it just seemed rather a little amount she had with her.

Sybill wasn’t paying much attention, letting her mind wander as she scanned the room. She had never had anything as grand as this, and a small smile spread across her face.

“Hmm? Oh, no, this is all,” she said, patting her suitcase gently.

Minerva’s brow quirked ever so slightly at seeing the smile spread across her face. Looking around herself it was rather a beautiful room, huge windows and great views, of course however she preferred her rather cold stone walls, her dorm was just the same when she was a student, it wasn’t much but it was now their home. She nodded slightly as her reply, she wasn’t surprised. “Well I’m sure you know can find your way around, the elves will see to any food you may need, although the kitchens are easy to find if you require a stroll. If you need anything I shall be in my quarters.” She gave a rare smile. “I hope you settle in”.

Sybill gave her thanks and soon found herself alone in the dusty room. Setting her suitcase on her bed, she began putting way clothes and other belongings she had brought, though they hardly took up any room at all.

A few days passed before Sybill decided to speak to Minerva. The new school year was approaching fast, and the young woman found herself struggling to set up appropriate lesson plans. On top of that, she wondered how she even know how to handle her students. She was barely older than them, after all.

“Professor?” she said, rapping a knuckle against the door frame of Minerva’s office. “Could I speak to you about something?”

Minerva hadn’t seen Sybill the last few days, she had wondered if she should have checked on her however being in a new place, different surrounding, she assumed she would have just been settling in. The past few days had been rather hectic for Minerva, not that that was much different from usual. Minerva has just finished a pile of paperwork when she heard Sybill’s voice, she looked over her spectacles to the girl in front of her. “Of course, dear.”. She stood, pulled a chair in front of her desk for her to sit on. “Would you like some tea?.”. Minerva could tell just by looking at Sybill that she was a fragile sort. “Are you.. having second thoughts?.” Minerva had already started making the tea, her back toward Sybill. “I know it can feel rather daunting on your first time”.

Sybill entered the room, hesitating before sitting down. “Um, yes, that would be nice, thank you.”

Fidgeting a bit, she sighed and finally admitted. “I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m not even sure I’m cut out to teach. I only took this job because I was desperate, and I’m sure the Headmaster knows that. I don’t know why he changed his mind, I was certain he was going to turn me down.”

Pausing to gather her thoughts, she then said, “I hardly feel like an adult at times. How am I supposed to teach, to be an authority figure to children?”

Minerva still has her back toward the other witch as she began to talk, slowly approaching where Sybill was now sat. Minerva sat her eyes meeting with the others, she didn’t want to come across as a teacher, and her approach would be that of a fellow professor. “Sybill, dear, I know that feeling well” She admitted. “I wasn’t much old than you when I became a Professor, I had no previous teaching skills, the only saving grace was that I knew my subject from heart.” She sat forward slightly, cupping her tea and taking a sip. “I didn’t think I would be able to cope with young people, that I couldn’t really relate to them, I didn’t want to relate to them at first..” It was horrible to say and even worse to feel. “But you get comfortable, not at first, I admit, you get yourself in a groove.” She paused for a moment. “You need to relax, to believe in yourself.”. It took Minerva a long time to do just that. “You will be fine, you have people to support you, it’s a bit of a cliché to say but we trule are a family here”.

#madamprofessormcgonagall

Sybill was both shocked and relieved by Minerva's words. The woman had always seemed so strong and invincible, able to take on the most worrisome tasks. The young witch relaxed a bit, taking a sip of her tea as she thought about the situation.

She stiffened a bit when Minerva said "family." She hadn't considered herself to have anything similar to family in ten years. "T-thank you," she said, her voice catching in her throat.

"Why are you crying?” areyouinthebeyond

Can’t find the meme

@areyouinthebeyond

Luna wiped the tears from her eyes. “I just found out that Professor Hagrid’s Hippogriff is going to be…” she couldn’t even bring herself to say the words. She might have hated the Malfoy boy (though she’d never met him) in that moment.

#butterbeer cork necklaces

Sybill frowned, having heard all about the incident from a few of her third years earlier that day. Wrapping an arm around the crying child, she did her best to comfort her.

"There, there, dear. It isn't right what is to happen to the poor creature, but everything will be alright."

Gellert replied: “In my school days only one person. He helped me a lot with getting a hold on my ability. Sadly I do not know what he does nowadays, leave alone where he is. But I bet he’d pop up randomly when you need him the most. I am not kidding. This man appears whenever he is needed.”

Sybill couldn't help the small smile spreading across her face. "Do you think I could meet him someday?"

She didn't want to get her hopes up, but this perhaps the most hopeful she had been in years. Even if the man before her was the only other Seer she would ever know, she was content in knowing someone else understood her.

Quelling her child-like excitement, she said, "I'm sorry. I'm sure that has nothing to do with what you want to talk about right now."

Sybill sighed, not wanting to get into an argument. She felt guilty for what she had said. Severus was a sarcastic sort, though, and she hadn’t expected him to really be concerned about her. Resting a hand on his forearm, she gave him a small, nervous smile.

“I am sorry, Severus. I didn’t mean any of it.”

His arm jerked back in towards his torso instinctively, as though the touch had burned him. The young man was not used to that sort of gentleness. His eyes had widened in alarm, but the expression quickly abated itself and returned to a neutral mask.

“Don’t think on it.” he muttered quietly.

Severus drummed his pale fingers at the edge of the table and tried to redirect the conversation. His reaction from the contact was something he didn’t wish to linger on.

“Where was your mind a moment ago?”

Sybill dropped her hand back to her lap when Severus reacted, feeling she had pushed too far. Turning her attention back to her food, she almost didn’t catch his question.

“My mind? Oh, no, it was nothing, I was just… thinking.”

It was nothing important, after all. What good would it do to burden him with her feelings?

Sitting along the staff table was the last place he wished to be. Regardless of the intention of showing students that Professors were there to both guard them and keep them out of trouble, it was little more to Severus than a spotlight to burn him. He caught a few seventh years sniggering behind their hands at the display of panic at the touch. A subtle reminder that some of the elder students had been youngsters already present at Hogwarts when he had graduated. They knew him as a student, if only a little. Respect was difficult to come by because of this fact. He wondered if Sybill also had these obstacles. She had been causing a bit of a stir with her vacant expression during the vision.

His posture straightened. One eyebrow raised, though he made no effort to shift his eyes from his own dinner plate, the whispers of students heavy in his ears. Carry on conversation to show that you are ignoring them, he chided internally.

“If you were thinking, then it was not nothing.” he reasoned. “But if you would rather keep to yourself it is perfectly understandable, of course.”

Sybill absent-mindedly poked at her food with a fork, oblivious to the attention they had been garnering from students.

"Just a vision. And as far as most are concerned here, that is nothing," she said, her voice sounding more tired and distant.

She thanked her with a smile, taking a huff of the tea- She always enjoyed the selection Sybill had, perhaps the one other professor with a collection of tea that beat hers. Maybe she had it in her indeed- But then again, if it were true, this gift didn’t make itself known for quite some time…hundreds of years worth of time.

“It could be true-…you are the specialist here, after all.“ she laughed, taking her first sip of the tea. “What would be your favorite then? We should try that, for a change.“

"Ah, yes, palmistry is one I greatly enjoy. Let me see..."

Turning away, she walked over to her bookshelf and scanned for the proper text before bringing it to the table.

"Palmistry relies more on techniques. It can still get very difficult when it comes to reading the palms of certain individuals, but this may help you through that."

Skimming through the contents, she opened the book to page containing images that labeled and explained the various lines of the palm.

Sybill tried to suppress a laugh, but she was tired of being polite to a student who couldn’t even be bothered to act respectful to her.

“Dropping Divination to take yet another course about divination… That’s interesting.”

“What? No!” It blurted out of her before she realized that she was talking to a professor. It didn’t matter if Hermione was taking her classes or not anymore, she was still a Hogwarts professor. “Sorry, but…Divination is nothing like Arithmancy. There’s science and accuracy–” She stopped herself before she dug her grave any deeper and took a deep breath.

“I’m sorry, Professor.” And she truly meant that. They had different opinions, but being rude was no solution.

Sybill frowned at the girl's insistence about her new course. "If you had bothered to research the subject, as I know you usually like to do, you would know that Arithmancy is a branch of divination, and a challenging one at that."

Settling herself back into her work, she merely shook her head. "But no matter, my dear. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors."

Marriage Act|| Sybill & Severus

Sybill flinched as he aimed his wand at her, but she wouldn’t let that stop her. She had suffered through years of her mother’s cruel words and humiliation from her colleagues, and she’d be damned if she let her would-be husband speak to her like that.

Her face softened, though, when she noticed a hint of fear in his eyes. Which was ironic, considering she was on the wrong end of a potentially painful spell.

“I’m sorry, Severus. Perhaps we’re both a little high-strung given our circumstances.”

Eventually Severus lowered his wand, ensured Sybill wouldn’t dare lay hands upon him again, and the potions master immediately regretted ever showing such an unrestrained reaction. For a moment he thought he might have seen understanding in the other’s eyes, and he didn’t need that. He didn’t want that.

❝As is to be expected.❞ He shrugged, willing to make clear that he didn’t forgive her behavior simply because they were ‘high strung’. Over the years, he had heared enough of such poor excuses for violence, and though he was quite short tempered himself, the professor barely every forgave another person for that flaw.

❝However- I expect thing to be uncomfortable for quite some time to come, and if you do ever find yourself tempted to lash out again, I suggest you are ready to accept the consequences of such actions as well.❞ A threat, and nothing less.

Whatever sympathy Sybill felt for her colleague vanished as he spoke. As if her slap had been anymore painful than his words.

"And if you find yourself inconvenienced and resorting to cruel insults like a spoiled little child again, you can expect similar consequences," she all but snarled at him.

"Now, if you don't have anything helpful to say about this situation, then you can see yourself out. I have better things to do with my time than listen to your complaints."

"Why are you always so happy?" areyouinthebeyond

Sybill melted into the kiss, feeling tears brimming in her eyes.

“Why does it have to hurt so much?” she asked, sniffling as she buried her head into the crook of Pandora’s neck. It wasn’t fair that maintain a happy façade after everything they had been through. Sybill closed her eyes as she remembered the vision that had taunted her in her sleep the night before.

“Don’t leave me.”

“Why d-does what hurt?” Pandora asks now slightly confused, which often could happen with Sybill but she really didn’t mind. She understood sometimes it was hard for the other witch to get out what she had seen or just what she wanted to say so Pandora worked through her confusion rather than getting frustrated like most people did, until she understood.

Slender arms wrap tightly around the other witch as a hand began to play with her hair, “I’m not going anywhere..” Pandora promises in a gentle whisper, “Not ever my love..”
