Albus had no idea what to say as she slowly took her drink from his hands, watching from the corner of his gaze as they both drank. A moment of silence carried before she finally spoke up, bringing up the only subject he was terrified to discuss. “Look, its uh.. it’s fine, I mean, I understand why you di——”

“——Oh no!” He was cut off by the crash of the bottle, watching as the glass shattered beneath their feet. Albus took a deep breath and pulled his wand from his pocket. “Its fine.. Reparo!” He mumbled as he flicked his wand forward and watched the spell take form, mending the bottle back into his hand. The next spell his father had taught only him specifically, and taking a deep breath he thought of the words and watched as the bottle refilled itself. “There you go.. luckily I hadn’t had much to drink yet.”

"No—there is no reason I should've walked away. That was a cowardly thing to do. It's just—I'm not used to this, Al. I'm not used to actually feeling things for a guy that might possibly have these odd feelings for me too. As cliché as it might sound, I've never felt this way about someone before. Ever."

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

"Of course I’m not tryin’ t’be just like you or anythin’!” she rushed to explain, “I just want people to…well, see me. I guess. I feel like I’m just kinda here. I want to be important. And not just because I’m a Prefect.”

[avapiercex]

"I get what you mean. I know just the place to start." Ava crossed her arms over her chest, a smug smile forming upon her face. "You. Me. Hogsmeade. This weekend. Meet me in the Great Hall at exactly ten. Be late and you can forget about having my assistance."

He nodded softly at her statement, keepin his eyes on the glasses before him as he slowly attempted to pour the whiskey into each of them. “Well I suppose you can blame it on Scorpius, he has a bad habit of getting me into these sorts of situations.” Albus exclaimed in response as he handed over the glass to her.

"Something tells me that he was just saying that to get you drunk, since I always have the worst of sleeps after drinking with Scorpius." Albus retorted with a slight smile. "But then again, what do I really know?— Cheers." And with those final words he took his third drink.

[avapiercex]

Ava took a swig of the drink, sighing in relief as she felt the liquid burn her throat. She loved the feeling it gave her...it seemed as if it burned away all of the bad things in her life for just that moment. Ava drank the rest of what was left in her glass. "Listen...I shouldn't have walked away from you that night." - Anxiously, she reached over to pour herself another glass. Her hands shook and her mind was traveling a mile a minute. She didn't understand the effect this boy had on her. She looked down, only to find broken glass and a damp floor beneath hers and Albus' feet. "Oh my god..." Her hand flew up to her mouth in shock. "I'll buy you another bottle. I-I don't know what has gotten into me."

Not on me, but have you ever been down to the kitchens? The house elves practically force it on you. I could show you where it is if you’d like.

[avapiercex]

"Very well." Ava nodded, spinning on her heel.

She stopped mid-step, glancing over her shoulder. "Coming?"

[cassie--walker-deactivated20141]

"No need to look so terrified. I’m not about to tell anyone…"

[avapiercex]

"In that case—"

"—care to join me, Meriweather?"

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

Lillian thought for a moment, her brow crinkled as she weighed her options. “Ava, could you help me be that girl? You know, the one whom everyone listens to. In control. Like…Well, like you.”

[avapiercex]

"I'm flattered, but in all honesty, there's only room for one me, sweetheart."

"Although, it might be fun to revamp the fiery Fenwick." Ava smirked. "You don't need to be me to get people to listen to you, Lillian. We'll work on revamping your look and from there...all of should come naturally."

Ava Pierce — The Slytherin Princess

[avapiercex]

[alicelongbottomx]

"Ava," She said warningly. Alice knew for a fact she couldn’t sound stern if her life depended on it but she would try her damn best. "Although I hate her, I will accept those compliments of hers. I’ve always despised my cheeks, thought they were too chubby."

[avapiercex]

"You and Scorpius..." Ava gave a look that told Alice she was deep in thought. "Scorlice? Alpius?" She teased, stepping closer towards Alice.

"I've always had a feeling Scorpius had a thing for wittle baby chubby cheeks." Ava pinched Alice's cheeks the way a distant relative did whenever they came to visit. She laughed at herself and a look of pure amusement found its way onto her face.

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

"I— Really?" She questioned, looking down at her hair hanging over her shoulder. "I’ve never thought about it. I just kind of lays there naturally, bit of a wave, but there’s so much hair that I never had anything to do with it."

[avapiercex]

"All I have to say is...If you want to be that girl, you need to make an effort to be that girl."

[albusxseverusxpotter-blog]

  As he placed the shot glass back down he heard a familiar voice from the corner of his eye, glancing around to find himself staring directly at Ava. “Uhh..” he swallowed hard, biting down on his bottom lip as he attempted to sort through his racing thoughts. “Well.. Scorpius was suppose to be back a while ago.. and well, I really could use a drink so I started without him.” Albus managed to explain, turning to grab a second shot glance.

"Umm.. do you uh, what a drink?" Albus let out, taking a long deep breath as he felt the liquor rush to his mind as he held the glass up.

[avapiercex]

"It's ironic." Ava laughed, pausing to slide over the top of the leather couch to sit beside him. "A prefect breaking a major school rule." She resisted the urge to smile at Albus—she still had yet to figure out how things were between them at this point. "I won't tell." Ava said in a teasing manner, her trademark smirk finding its way onto her face. - "I'd love one." Ava took the glass from Albus, her fingers brushing his as she did so. "A boy I met in Bulgaria once told me that a drunken sleep is the best kind of sleep." She smiled to herself as she recalled the memory.

[albusxseverusxpotter-blog]

Albus glanced around with the shot in hand, his eyes scanning the Common room. Scorpius said he’d be back by now. Shaking his head he shrugged softly and downed the firewhiskey shot, his eyes clenching shut as he managed to hold the taste.

"Disgusting." he mumbled as he went to pour himself another. After the unexpected week he’d had, he deserved many a few drinks.

[avapiercex]

It was late at night and Ava could not manage to fall asleep. She needed air. Her belief that she would be alone in the dark common room was proven to be false, especially when she heard his voice mumble. Go back to your room, she told herself. Ava's heart began to clench and she began to turn around—clink! The sound was familiar. He was drinking. Alone. There was no way she would leave him by himself, especially in the state he could possibly enter.

"If it is so disgusting—" she paused, swallowing the lump in her throat. "—then why are you drinking it, Al?"

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

  Lillian stared back at the girl, a look of confusion on her face before the expression softened a bit. “I’m sorry— I shouldn’t have— I just assumed because you’re so beautiful and everyone calls you the Slytherin Princess. They all talk about how wonderful and powerful you are, how everyone listens to what you say and no one has ever called you stupid.”

[avapiercex]

Ava looked away for a moment, attempting to compose herself. She was quick to change the subject. "You know, I think you'd look a lot prettier if you did something with your hair. It's a little bland, don't you think?"

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

"I’m not a girl that’s like you, Ava," she replied, looking down. "I’m not confident all the time. I don’t have hoards of friends and boys chasing after me. I don’t have people to constantly tell me how wonderful and amazing I am like you do."

[avapiercex]

"You've got it all wrong." Ava whispered, her voice barely audible. She offered a smile to the girl sitting in front of her. "We all have something we need to work on, yeah? Keep your chin up." Ava laughed, lifting Lillian's chin gently. "You're not that bad."

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

"Well, it’s stupid but…yes. It’s odd, I wouldn’t have been bothered were it anyone else, but my da’ told me she used to do things like this all the time and created so much trouble."

[avapiercex]

"Seriously, Lillian." Ava rubbed her temples. "You need to get ahold of yourself and I mean that in the nicest way possible."

"We all know Skeeter is a washed-out tosser." Ava rolled her eyes. "She has nothing to do, but write bullshit about students at Hogwarts in hopes of not being her dragon-lady-looking self."

[avapiercex]

What in the bloody hell?

[albusxseverusxpotter-blog]

Albus immediately noticed that the question caught her off guard, her emotions taking control of her for a moment. “It’s not that, I mean— Scorpius cares about me, I know that.” He attempted to explain, biting down on his bottom lip as she forced her gaze onto his. “It’s just.. he’s always tried to help me and I don’t want to hide anything from him, okay?” Albus added, nodding his head. He wasn’t that he didn’t want this— he did. He just wanted to make sure his best friend was on board and not in the dark. Scorpius’ friendship meant everything to the young Potter boy.

[avapiercex]

She nodded, regaining composure of her senses. "I should go." Ava mumbled, spinning on her heel to head towards the dormitories. She felt foolish for losing control of herself.

[missmeganplease-deactivated2014]

  "You’re in a good mood, then."

[avapiercex]

"And you're not."

"Let's talk." Ava glanced over at Lillian, who had a blank look on her face. "If it is that stupid wench, Skeeter..."
