“Well, perhaps it’s time for you to learn to keep your nose out of other people’s business.”

-

Aurora’s tone was a surprise. Rita pushed the wand down, saying, “ That’s a little difficult for me, but if you were a little bit more specific, then we could talk about this rationally. ”

“I’m on to you Skeeter! If you dare talk behind my back again, you won’t have a friendly warning this time. Got it?” Annabeth threatened her before slowly put away her wand.

-

Onto her? This rather amused Rita. She was surprised to be confronted about something so trivial. She couldn’t even remember off the top of her head what she said that must have been so angering for her fellow Ravenclaw. “ You know, threats are far more incriminating than mere chatter. So I’d watch yourself if I were you. ”

 ⚡  “Well, as fun as that sounds, I think my wand likes you, and she’s been dying to hex something.”

-

Without realising entirely, Rita’s feet shuffled her backwards away from the brunette. She could feel her heart rate pick up, but ignored it, pushing the phrase, “ Come on, you know I don’t want any trouble. ”

with a slight sigh beneath his breath, regulus got himself involved. that was what friends did, right? “— clear off.” outwardly, perhaps not the most intimidating, the slytherin had a certain threat to him: made obvious within seconds as the boy with the wand had scarpered.

-

The blonde gave a sigh, she was still annoyed from the encounter a few seconds ago, although glad to see him turn up. “ I could have handled that on my own, ” she told him, “ but thanks, Regulus. ” Denial was something that Rita was practised at, so she had no problem acting as though her and the Black in front of her had been friends for a while, with no prompt.

“Talk about compensating. Is everything okay, Rita?”

-

It’d turned out that the git had only attempted to scare her, and he’d continued walking after it not working. The blonde gave a laugh, turning to her friend. “ Pathetic, some of these younger years, aren’t they? ”

GLENDA lowered her wand away from her housemate’s face. “Rita, haven’t you ever been told it’s a bad idea to sneak up on an armed lady?” The Ravenclaw sighed, tutting– an apologetic smile appeared a few moments later. “My sincerest apologies. I was just trying to findsomething…”

-

“ Glenda. Sorry. ” The older girl relaxed her tone somewhat. “ It’s just been the kind of day that I wouldn't be surprised at anyone threatening me, and it’s tiring. ” Rita took a moment to run her hand through her hair before putting on a smile, and asking, “ And what is my favourite fifth year looking for? ”

on odd occasions, mary found herself displaying an unusual urge to actually befriend the girl. it wasn’t like they spent much time together, or were the best of friends; but she’d always been quite intuitive, and there was something strange about the girl she could never quite place. “couldn’t let you freeze out here. i’d have mcgonagall on my back,” she managed to laugh quietly, in an attempt to alleviate the silence around them. a bubble of hope rose within her at the girl’s gesture, but her heart quickly sank at the colour of the petals. “bloody hell,” she exclaimed, pushing a stray curl from her face in agitation. “we’ll be stuck here forever. we’ll end up as ghosts, still looking for the bloody black flowers.”

-

Although she doubted Mary’s sincerity, it definitely was a comfort to have her here. But at her disappointment at the wrong flower, she was becoming increasingly distressed. “ You know, I’ll be sure to write an extremely harsh piece to Dumbledore himself about the cruelty of this particular punishment. ” her tone was solumn, but her expression was much less serious, eyes darting around her as she took a stand. “ It’s.. it’s practically human labour, come to think of it. ”

He blinked twice as he listened to the blonde talking, was she for real? So, she really took these things seriously. He WOULDN’T.  “ It’s a friendship there.” he replied, already bored of the conversation. “ We’ve been hanging out, but we weren’t filrting.” Or were they? He had no idea. “ Are you done now?”  

-

Rita gave a small smile, as she felt like she’d struck a nerve for good reason. “ I only investigate what my sources tell me, it was a reasonable enough question, Longbottom. ” she justified, giving a shrug. “ So yes, I’m done. ...That is, until this comes up again and I’ll be back for a comment from you. ”

“quite a temper, that one. what did you do to set ‘em off?” for once someone was staring down a wand and it had nothing to do with him. slughorn would be proud.

-

Seeing that they weren't alone, the other person dropped their wand and pushed past Rita, mumbling something inaudible but obviously aggressive. Rita rolled her shoulders back and stared after them, before acknowledging Tom. “ I’m not entirely sure, but it’s probably something to do with me exposing that he’d cheated on his girlfriend, in the gossip section of last week’s edition.. ” she rolled her eyes at the stupidity of it.  This kind of thing wasn’t regular for her, but it did happen often enough for her to be tired of it.

 “ Anyway, did you want something, Tom? Or did you just stop by hopeful to see me hexed?”

“Nope, nobodys in here right now. Go away unless you are a very hot single chick..”

[beetlexskeeter-blog]

“ I do fit that category, and I’m here to see you, actually. ” The blonde gave a grin, and held up her notepad - quill at the ready - before continuing, “ How would you address the claim that you’re the most desperate bachelor at hogwarts? ”

“Okay. You’ve got three wishes. But you can’t wish for more wishes or more genies. What do you wish for?”

[beetlexskeeter-blog]

“ Right now? Hm... To have graduated already with all O’s behind me, for one. To be living in my dream place the centre of London, and probably to get a job at the daily prophet to launch my journalism career off. ” Rita took a moment to smile at the thought of it, a realistic yet amazing dream was only a year or so away, that’s all she wanted: to be there already. “ What a great question, Remus. I might use that in interviews, if that’s okay with you? ”

[beetlexskeeter-blog]

“ As charmed as I am by your attention, I’ve got places to be. So if you’d kindly take your wand away from my face... I’ll be going. ”

“d’you think i’m wasting my saturday looking for slughorn’s stupid plant? and to think, i actually liked this place. i think this detention’s gonna ruin it for me.” mary grumbled; but her complaints were careless, more to fill the silence than anything else. at the girl’s question, she was almost tempted to say ‘yes’, but she kept quiet. of course she wouldn’t leave her. maybe mary didn’t exactly like her, and maybe they weren’t the best of friends, but even she heard the uncertainty the girl’s voice had previously held. “’course i won’t. you’d freeze to death.”

It was clear that Mary didn’t want to be there, and she did sound genuine in her suggestion to just go, but for whatever motive, being told that she wasn’t going to leave, comforted Rita. “ Right. ” was all the blonde said in response, giving a small smile as thanks ( that didn’t convey her relief genuinely in the slightest ), before she turned and began walking again. It wasn’t quite the kind of cold that caused teeth to chatter, but Rita couldn’t feel her ears. Just off to the left from their direct path stood a tree stump on it’s own. For a moment Rita thought she had found the ingredient, she glanced over at Mary and gestured for her to have a look, but as she squatted down to pick the flowers she saw that they were a deep purple, instead of the desired black. “ Just brilliant... ”
