“Yes, I know. I get that. It’s good to be competent in more than just obliviating.” What would his uncle say about him riling up a coworker during his first week of work? ‘You must be more careful, John. You’re going to get yourself killed.’ He could hear him already. 

“But, don’t you see…” He leaned in to whisper in her ear. “There are people here that you think you can trust, but will turn on you in a single instant if they get the tiniest piece of information about you. That singular piece of information that you must bury deep within yourself and never bring to mind.” Taking a step back, he cocked his head to the side ever so slightly as he gauged her reaction to the comments. “I can, um, give you some names of people that I don’t completely trust, if you’d like. Sorry for the mind experiment. I think I got a little sidetracked with it.” 

     And just like that, Attwater lost her cool. She didn’t even bother grabbing her wand but instead hurled her fist forward and collided it with his face. Most of the time Marjorie was able to hold things in and keep her cool, head down and attention elsewhere. Only every once in awhile would something really hit her and cause the woman to lose her ability to hold things in. Apparently, this man knew just the thing that her ticked her, pushed her well over the edge.

    “Next time, just...be quiet.” She warned him, eyes giving a slight role as she took some steps back. Marje didn’t even give a shake of her hand as if it had hurt, simply flashed him a stoic yet warning look.

regardless of how tina felt about the rules, she wasn’t one to discriminate. and she certainly wasn’t one to double cross someone who had confided in her. “i can promise you, your secret’s safe with me, miss attwater.” she had no way of proving her word, though she hoped marjorie would believe her. that she wouldn’t regret or become fearful from telling her. “i imagine it’s nice not to be carrying such a burden anymore.” can’t imagine holding in a secret like that for all that time. “i’m sure telling me doesn’t lighten the load all that much though.”

     she was glad to have someone so willing to help her, to keep her secret for her. sometimes it was hard to know if someone was a threat or not in this world, if someone could be trusted, but marje was glad that her instinct had lead her to tina. it had clearly been the right choice. “it helps. i promise,” the woman reassures her with a gentle smile on her face, tucking a piece of hair from her face. “thank you for understanding. it’s nice that someone does.”

WHAT TO SAY?  Such kindness is alien; he knows not how to receive it, nor how to respond. He flinches at her touch, turning away only more to hide his face. But when he pulls away, his palms are uncovered for but a moment, revealing lines of abuse on youthful skin for the blink of an eye. Quickly, Credence presses his hands together and hopes she did not see.     ‘ I really shouldn’t be talking to you… ’

         “Why not?” She asks, head dripping down slightly in an attempt to capture his gaze. At this point Marjorie just simply couldn’t leave the boy alone if he was so scared of kindness, only leading her to her assuming that something was wrong at his homeplace. Marje was even tempted to reach out a hand to touch his shoulder but she had to be cautious, to be careful not to scare him off.

“just saying you ought to be careful who hears you saying that, that’s all.”

              “i can handle myself. but...thanks.”

“If there’s nothing else, Miss Attwater, I’d like to be left ALONE.” Percival didn’t really want the solitude again but it was preferable to talking about the dark wizard, divulging the information that she was LOOKING for against orders. And the woman was starting to get a little too chummy with him at the moment simply because he’d shown her a kindness.

     She offers a nod then stands from her seat, moving towards the door. This had been quite the visit and took a little bit of a different turn than Marjorie had expected but, at least, he had promised to keep her secret. “Get well, Mister Graves.” And then after flashing a smile, she leaves the room.

her father was a no-maj. her parents had done something illegal, though there were worse things, she was sure. and it wasn’t as if it were marjorie’s fault anyway. she can’t imagine anyone doing anything to her personally — perhaps to her parents, but surely not to marjorie. “and you’ve never told anyone before?” she asks, eyebrows furrowing in concern. it wasn’t as if tina would be telling anyone. sure, she was a stickler for the rules, but it wasn’t like she’d double cross anyone like that. 

     she wasn’t entirely sure how tina was going to react to such news. in marjorie’s eyes, miss goldstein was one of the better people here at the congress and she felt as though she was someone to confide in. “you’re the first person i’ve ever told.” the woman confesses, letting out a rather heavy breath. “it actually feels good to finally tell someone about it. i’ve kept it a secret for so long.” then eyes grow wide and meet tina’s gaze, “you won’t tell anyone, will you?”

rules in america between magic and muggles were absurd in every way, newt only wished things would change them very soon. back in london, the man had a few conversation with muggles he’s saw on the streets, just SMALL CONVERSATION, but he thought they were very interesting. their way of life was different from his and he only wanted to learn more about them. he sighed silently, “ someone hasn’t hurt you, have they? “

his question catches her off guard, possibly because marjorie never expect any wizard folk to ever care about half-bloods. yet, somehow, this man did. she could only chalk it up to his upbringing across the ocean. “no. no one even knows.” marjorie assures him with a gentle nod, trying to muster a smile but finding her muscles too tired to offer the simplest of movements. she carried too much weight on her shoulders to smile all the time.

“Perhaps I’ve been giving you the wrong impression but I’m still your SUPERIOR, Miss Attwater, on leave or otherwise.” Percival furrowed his brow slightly. He didn’t appreciate unprofessionalism and while for the moment they weren’t at headquarters or around co-workers, he certainly didn’t want the to CARRY through to work. And maybe he also didn’t want the young woman to start thinking they were friends. He still barely knew her.

“And here i thought we were having a moment.” She jokes, even allowing a laugh to accompany her words so he knew no piece of it was serious. Marjorie knew very well that he was still above her when it came to ranks and that was something she had come to terms with long before. Nothing was going to change it.

ofcongress:

John was far too pleased with himself to let even the smallest amount of fear register on his features. Usually he played along with such threats and tried to make it seem like he took them to heart. The family one had gotten to her, which was what he had been counting on. “I suggest you take a step back before it gets you hurt,” he spoke with a bit of a lilt, making it clear that he truly was enjoying himself. 

She stills wears a look of annoyance, a bubble of laughter escaping at his attempt of a threat. “You don’t scare me,” Marjorie replies with a rather sadistic smile, “I could take you down in a second.” Even though most of her job was spent behind a desk, she had proven herself more than once in the art of spells and combat. Looks can be very deceiving with this one.

“You sure about that?” he continued, giving a half-hearted shrug. “How do you know if a no-maj happened to get away when you were busy rounding up a group to obliviate? How do you know that the family you tore apart wasn’t already expecting?” John knew full well that he’d gone too far with that particular insistence, so he gave out a light chuckle in an attempt to quell any of her fears. “But of course those are extreme cases, I’m sure.” 

Something about the way he grills her, like an investigator of some sort, pushes Marjorie a little too far. Maybe it was his attitude as well. What probably really pushed her over the edge was the mention of a FAMILY. After giving a quick glance around them, she steps closer to them to close any distance as well as to allow her voice to be lowered, to avoid anyone else from hearing her speak. “I recommend you stop asking questions before it gets you hurt.”

“For being one of the most basic concepts in life, you’re rather confusing.” The female muses, hands rubbing at the temples on her head. All she could do is ask herself how in the hell she got in the position, talking with something that had only been a concept hours earlier.

nathanfell:

            nathan had never liked being alone, growing up he always wanted people around, whether it was his friends or family…it didn’t matter. he just always found a way to push people from him in the end, blaming the crazy ideas that came out of their mouths. either way, he could never live in mystic falls again…or be honest with himself for that matter. this woman? she had something inherently GOOD about her, at least nathan believed that. his expression softens as she sits down.

              “ you’re saving me from being a hermit, ” he quickly grinned again, he had a good feeling about this. “ –i’m nathan. ”

     “and here i was planning on being a hermit, today. congratulations, you broke me of my shell.”

     marjorie teases with a gentle smile, picking up her spook and stirring her coffee a bit. the man so far seemed to be kinda and gentle which was rather a rarity here in new york. she could not help but wonder if he wasn’t from around here. he looked a complete stranger and marje liked to at least think that she knew most of the people in the neighborhood. maybe work had been taking over her life so much that she didn’t even know what was happening around her.

    “are you new around here, nathan?”
