Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.

A strong person isn’t the one who doesn’t cry. A strong person is the one who sheds tears for a moment, then picks up her sword and fights again.

Small innocent-seeming person that’s actually not pure at all

charles listened, looking up from his textbook, “ do you get them often? the migraines? ” he asked, furrowing his eyebrows. from what he’d heard they could be triggered from stress, hormonal changes or eating certain foods- among other reasons of course. “ ah, it’s very important in case you plan on taking a trip to north america. ” he said, recalling what the professor had said, “ and the n.e.w.t’s ”

along with a good amount of his classmates, the ravenclaw was already making sure he was well prepared for the test. grades weren’t as important to him as it was to his parents, he liked learning. the test and grades he got, although he was satisfied with those too, they were just an added bonus.

“i do,” she said with a small nod of her head when he asked if she got them often. “stress-related, i would think, but i started getting them when i was just a little kid, so i imagine there was an ancestor who decided they didn’t like me much,” ashley told him with a joking smile as she scanned the notes. she didn’t feel particularly bad about missing the last leg of the lecture, as she could have just skipped the day, though she usually felt guilty for skipping class. she loved learning and it was one of the things she was really good at so when she missed a class, she felt as though she were missing out on a part of her education. unfortunately, sometimes, that guilt was unavoidable and she just couldn’t muster up the ability to go to class when a migraine was present. 

“would you ever want to travel to america?” the female asked as she started to copy down his notes, which were helpful. would it have been weird to comment on the readability of his handwriting? she’d seen some ravenclaws with handwriting so awful there was chicken scratch more readable than whatever they could offer, but charles was concise in his notes.

The Ravenclaw common room is located high up within a tower and known for its panoramic views of the school grounds. It is a large circular room filled with bookcases and blue furnishings. It is also one of the only common rooms to feature a statue of their house founder. The entrance requires no password but the solving of a riddle asked by a bronze eagle knocker. Incorrect answers result in having to wait outside for someone else to answer their riddle successfully. Once inside you can sit under the impressive starry domed ceiling and listen to the relaxing sounds of the wind whistling around the exterior of the tower windows.

The brunette nodded, searching for the parchment with the last lessons notes, “ Any particular reason you left early? ” he asked. he was slowly learning how to show interest in things, usually he’d just wait for the other person to talk but this was the person he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with. Charles imagined it’d be a lot easier if he learned how to conversate instead of just listen now rather than later. “ She held us 10 minutes after the lesson ended, so I’m not quite sure what you missed, ” he said, handing her the paper.

“i wasn’t feeling well, i get pretty nasty migraines and it hit me pretty suddenly.” that was something that charles should probably know about his future wife. calling them “pretty nasty” was an understatement because for her they were killer, becoming so sensitive to light and sound that it was unbearable at some points. once she was in her room, she could easily shut out her roommates with a couple of charms around her bed to just kind of bubble herself away from the room into peaceful silence. though professor slughon had offered her potions to help, they weren’t as great as she would have wanted them to be, but she does keep some under her bed in case she needs it. 

“thank you,” she said with a smile as she took the notes and set them beside her on the couch as she shuffled through her own things to find her notes. “i left once she started talking about preparing us for dealing with venomous tentacula.”

“ i wouldn’t really mind it, i imagine it would be more uncomfortable for you than it would for me. ” charles said, sitting down on the floor, his back pressed against the coffee table. he had his copy of the herbology textbook on his lap, prepared to study the new chapter.

[ashleygreengrass]

looking down at her fiancé, ashley almost felt bad that he placed himself on the floor. almost. she sat up, as she had to add something to her notes, and though part of her wanted to offer the seating to him, she didn’t want to seem like she was directing him to take it. “did you take notes during the last herbology lesson?” ashley asked as she jotted something down on a charms essay she was correcting for another student. “i had to duck out a few minutes early and missed the end of professor sprout’s lecture.”

O, when she’s angry, she is keen and shrewd! She was a vixen when she went to school; And though she be but little, she is fierce.

“ good point, as always. you never fail to prove to me you aren’t adopted. you’re just as smart as i am, after all, if not more! ” there was never a single time trys wasn’t impressed by his sister’s cunning and wit. it was what the greengrasses take pride on; and they might even be too ambitious to brand it as their family legacy. intelligence and wisdom are perfect traits after all. as to whether or not they are honing it for the greater good or lawful evil, that was entirely another story. “ our bodily needs vary greatly… and also, i lost my appetite. ” he shrugged rather nonchalantly. “ but alright, if you insist. there’s no stopping you, yeah? well. kindly pass on that shirt, will you? ” the older greengrass motioned the piece of clothing neatly put on a nearby table.

“if i were adopted, it would mean you wouldn’t fully share in the genetic make up of such a perfect human,” ashley told him ( with almost too much authority ) as she gestured to herself with a smirk. his comment about her intelligence, though accurate, wasn’t going to get him out of dinner. “flattery will get you everywhere with any other person trystan. unfortunately, not your little sister,” though her tone would have implied she was teasing to anyone without a trained ear, trystan knew her tones. he knew everything about her; how she spoke, what the different tones were, what the inflections meant, how she stressed certain words and how they changed the meaning to her. lost my appetite was a red flag waving itself around in her head, but for just a minute she’d give him the benefit of the doubt as she tossed his shirt at him, siting on the table as she waited for him.

“ even the mere sight of you batting your eyelashes in an animate manner is annoying. kindly stop doing such a nuisance act. ” he trailed off as he sat on the now-vacant space, plopping rather comfortably on the couch. the very reason why amycus carrow was currently in the library ( what a bizarre occurence, the sight of him there! ) was because of a potions essay he had to work on. the bloke was nowhere in the mood to work on it, thus what more easier way to deal with the matter than blackmail one of ashley’s housemate to do it for him? “ alecto is not violet, do not address her with petty color terminologies you associate with… what, pray you might enlighten me? ”

[ashleygreengrass]

at least he wasn’t going to attempt blackmailing ashley herself. though what he had on her, she’d never know -- she didn’t even have anything on herself. no underage drinking ( sans the parties thrown by pureblood families, but that was a different social circle with different rules ), no partying, never been given detention, had almost perfect ‘o’s in all of her classes ( except for that stupid ‘e’ in divination )-- if he actually had caught her doing something bad, she would have been impressed. “if you’d paid attention in muggle studies -- or potions, for that matter -- you’d know that violet is the color of royalty, power, and judgement,” she looked at him as though her were daft and what she was saying was common knowledge. “in this case, i was referring specifically to power. she has a tendency to use her power for ways that are particularly violent. violet, violent, it all works together.”
