“I don’t want to go back to school,” Augustine complained out-loud to anyone who would listen to her as her hand scanned across the seventh year Herbology textbooks in Flourish and Blotts. Truthfully, she didn’t know what she wanted to do: go back to school, stay home, or get out of dodge while it was still an accessible option for her. Narcissa’s birthday had always put into perspective how close school was coming, except this time it would be the last year where Augustine would have to feel the incoming dread. The dread for her upcoming seventh year felt worse than the initial six years. “But if I want a good job, I guess I kind of have to go back.” And her parents would be even more furious with her if she didn’t.
Georgie knew Augustine. She was from one of the Pureblood families, even though she was not in Slytherin. Not all of them were. She put a smile on her face as she picked up a glass and one of the bottles from the table. “Champagne is always a good place to start,” she said as she poured the glass expertly. She had been doing this for much longer than she should have. “The bubbles are fun and it doesn’t taste too strong. Just don’t have a lot if you’re not used to it.” She held forward the glass for her to take. “But one or two glasses won’t do much damage.”
Augustine knew most of the Purebloods, including the Parkinsons. Sure, she might not have approached many families, unless they were directly in her personal circle, but she knew of them. She returned the smile, took the glass from Georgie, and took a sip from the glass. “Yeah, it’s not bad at all!” Surprisingly it wasn’t. “Are you drinking a lot tonight? I’m not sure if I will be or not.”
❝ you wouldn’t freeze aggie ! c’mon ! we’re in devon for crying out loud , that’s practically cornwall ❞ practically her old home . ❝ at best it’ll be perfect , and at worse it’ll be refreshing ❞
“ are you quite sure ? ” it wasn’t a difficult task to convince augustine to do something, and now was no exception. “ okay, i’m going to trust you, this will be the first and last time i say yes to something like this. ”
The party might have been last minute but like any good Pureblood daughter, she was ready to go at a moments notice. She had dressed more conservative than she would at another party, though still fashionable. This was Cissa’s day. She was one of the very few people Georgie would do something like this for. It was the same reason she was moving through the crowd, making sure people were not getting too out of line. She smiled back at Cissa before approaching the drink table. She poured a glass of champagne before noticing someone standing by. “Is there something you’d prefer to drink? I can ask the house elves if they can get it. The Black elves are quite capable, I assure you.”
A party was the perfect distraction for Augustine before she was forced to go back to school for her final year. The good thing was that she would be away from her parents and getting back into a consistent schedule that she truthfully craved, and what she planned to do after? She wasn’t exactly sure what would happen to her after graduation, she was hoping it would be something away from this. Augustine had been personally invited by Narcissa, but she wouldn’t dare upstage the Birthday Girl. Instead, she wore something nice, yet suitable for one of her good friend’s party. “Uh, I’m actually not sure. Any recommendations? I’m not much of a drinker.”
“i’m not sure i’m supposed to be here, but someone said it was open invite? i brought a present.” maybe she should have just stayed home today but she had been invited by someone who had been invited by someone else and although she felt like a third wheel she wanted to blow off some steam and have some fun.
“i mean, the fun thing about parties is who might show up. what did you bring her? sorry, i’m nosy.” and truthfully, something to put on own her list for her next birthday or christmas. alcohol wasn’t an interest for augustine, she wanted that cute dress that was advertised in witch weekly or a new pair of shoes. she gave the other girl a half-joking smile. “if you say alcohol, you’ll instantly kill me.”
isn’t that AUGUSTINE GREENGRASS? yeah that is them, sitting there at the HUFFLEPUFF table with those other SEVENTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees pink hair clips or jewelry to compliment her boring hogwarts uniform, dirty fingertips from hands deep in soil, long blonde hair pulled back with escaping strands, the stressed out and anxious middle child, the hate of conflict, which seems about right for that NINETEEN year old. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty AMIABLE, TIMID, and MEEK. apparently they’re NEUTRAL BUT HER PARENTS ARE PUSHING HER INTO VENIT TEMPESTAS and a PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related…

brief biography :
the greengrass family is an old, influential, and powerful family that mainly focused on keeping their bloodlines pure, above all.
margaret and atticus married young, right after graduation. they their first child, luther, in their first year of marriage, then later on had augustine, and had aspen about a year later.
the parents had agreed to raise their children with the same ideals that they were raised with - purebloods were better than halfbloods, halfbreeds, muggleborns, and definitely muggles.
while most of augustine’s parents ideals stuck with her, she second-guessed what they knew about blood status, but she would never dare to say anything against her parents. they were extremely strict with their children, and were not afraid to punish their children anyway they saw fit.
augustine was raised on the morals of staying quiet and to the side, unless called upon by her parents or older brother. she would listen to what they told her without a second thought, and move on.
hogwarts was a relief for augustine when she finally arrived. it was a nice chance for her to make new friends and connections that weren’t solely her family or other purebloods.
sure, her and her brother went to hogwarts, but with them being in separate houses, it made it easier for augustine to drift to the side and keep her head down.
for the first three or four years of school, augustine silently strived in herbology, potions, charms, and transfiguration, but once she started her fifth year, she forced herself out of her shell and began joining clubs. the only club that she didn’t enjoy was the duelling club, which her parents forced her to join.
augustine was not good at defence against the dark arts, so her parents thought that if she was going to join the war and death eaters after hogwarts, she would need to be better at duelling.
in the middle of her sixth year, her parents pushed her to join venit tempestas, but she still remains with no dark mark. it stresses her out and she doesn’t think she fits the vibes of them.
all augustine wants is to focus on cute clothes (any kind of fashion), makeup, hair, plants, and potions.
wanted plots :
duelling partner - someone her parents probably set up for her so she could get better at duelling. involved in the dark arts preferably. could be someone in hogwarts or graduated.
ex-boyfriend - maybe a halfblood, muggleborn or a blood-traitor that she got involved with but when her parents found out, made her breakup with him and pushed her to join the junior death eaters. probably broke up in her sixth year ( beginning - middle )
best friend - literally anyone !!!! love a slytherin/hufflepuff friendship bc what else ??? but ya this would be so cute and pure !!! - billie pettigrew
scared of (0/3) - could be literally anyone !!! graduate or not, she’s a scared lil shit so she would probs be scared of a lot of ppl.
younger sister - she would be soooo protective of her lil sister in a quiet way, but i imagine her sis is a lil bratty and gets what she wants. i also imagine that her younger sister would be more confrontational than augustine lmao.
older brother - close but i feel like their relationship would be jagged. idk i really want her siblings lmaooooo
older brother’s best friend/crush - does not want to admit it but def has a thing for him. down to elaborate deeper with whoever !!!
