   “I mean, I guess you could say that.” Dani stated as she took the flask, she poured some into the punch. She had told herself she wasn’t going to drink anymore. She had been doing so good since last year but now her anxiety was getting the best of her. She was about to hand it back to him when she poured a bit more and shrugged and then finally handed it back. She took a drink and made a face afterwards, “Thanks.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” He knew Dani must have been through more bullshit than most others their age. And while Callahan couldn’t necessarily relate, he was always willing to listen. He watched as she poured in a large serving of the whiskey, but he didn’t object. He had a natural protective instinct over others, especially girls, so he would be sure to keep an eye on Dani to make sure she stayed safe the rest of the night. “No problem.”

     Dani couldn’t help but look at him for a moment too long. Mostly because she was in awe with how beautiful his hair was. She wondered to herself what he did to keep it looking so.. soft and with so much shine. She brushed that off of her mind when he brought up that he had something stronger. Back before she had finally started HRT, she used to drink quite often to at least help with her bad thoughts and right now, they were coming back and strong. “Care to share?”

“Be my guest,” he said, handing the flask over to her. He raised an eyebrow as he did though, asking, “Drinking to forget something?” 

[daniburke]

  She had decided to go dressed as Wednesday Addams and had thought she had done a pretty decent job until someone said something rude to her and now her spirits were down. She looked over at the person next to her, “Is the punch spiked? Tell me it is, please.”

[callahan-collins]

Callahan loved any excuse to 1) drink excessive amounts of alcohol and 2) wear as little clothing as possible. He was dressed in a toga, most of his chest proudly exposed and his long hair flowing beautifully past his shoulders. He was several drinks in, but felt hardly a buzz. It was, in his mind, his only genetic curse. “It is.” He confirmed with a nod. “But I have something stronger if you’d like.” He said, tilting his head towards the flask of firewhisky he held in his hand.

She couldn’t help but laugh, she didn’t think she mentioned it all too often. Maybe once in a while for sure. “I think it’s mostly because I might still be in shock. I could have punched you ya know, you’re lucky.” She thought about having a boyfriend, her cheeks turning pink. “I don’t know, I fall for people all the time, they just don’t ever like me back. That or they can’t handle me.”

“But you didn’t,” he teased like a five-year-old. “Admit it, I’m a good snogger. Go on.” He grinned before laughing as her face became rosy in color. “The later would be my guess. Or they’re afraid of me coming after ‘em. After all, any git who hurts you is gonna have some explaining to do.”

Leonard sighed, looking around to make sure no one was listening. “You gotta give me more notice or your wallet’s gonna suffer, Callahan,” Leonard warned before shrugging. “What’s the essay on, how long does it have to be, and what grade do you want?” He ran his fingers through his hair, gripping it a little to stop the stress headache that was already forming.

Callahan shrugged with a smile. “Sorry mate, I forgot, innit?” He didn’t have all the money in the world, but spending what he did have on forged essays seemed like a great investment plan to him. “It’s only six pages on Fanged Geraniums. Doesn’t have to be good. P or A.” Anything too exceptional would clearly not have been Callahan’s. And sure, P technically wasn’t a passing grade, but it spared him from having to the essay itself and that’s seemingly all that mattered.

“Honestly? Yes I can. If you ever decide to actually go after one of those poor girls that catch feelings with you,” she teased knowing fully well how many of his drunk snogging partners wound up actually falling for him, as well as plenty of sober girls. “You even snogged me once, remember? You’re just lucky I’m a tough catch,” she joked taking a sip from her coffee.

“Poor, poor girls,” he agreed with a fake nod of sympathy. He chuckled, adding, “You know, I may have forgotten it by now if you didn’t bring it up so often.” He was teasing, of course. “A tough catch indeed. Gonna make some bloke real lucky one day, though, I reckon.”

Leonard never did his homework (or anyone else’s) in the library, since that’s where everyone usually went. If he did, more people would notice him doing the same assignment three times in one sitting. However, at this point of the day, the Great Hall was usually pretty empty, so this was his study spot. He had been sitting there for around an hour, headphones on, world out, until he realized someone had appeared in front of him and seemed to expect a response. He placed his headphones around his neck before asking “Sorry, did you say something?”

Callahan was relieved to find Leonard in the Great Hall. He was nervous that the Hufflepuff boy might have retired to his respective common room by now, leaving Cal S.O.L. “Just the man I wanted to see,” he said with a grin. When the boy didn’t initially answer, Callahan waved his hand near the other’s face, prompting a response. “Yeah, bruv.” He chuckled, sitting across from Leo. He wasted no time with small talk. “Herbology essay by tomorrow. How much?”

        “That’s the start of Anarchy,” She teased and she looked around. “The potion will eventually wear off once it’s out of their system.”

He chuckled. “Well, then, we ought to make the most of it.” He raised an eyebrow at the Slytherin girl. “I’ll see you around then, Adelaide?” He silently hoped the answer would be yes. 

[callahan-collins]

She rolled her eyes, her smile wide, “Of course I can’t. Because I do love having you around. Is it sad that I kind of dread the day you actually do find someone?“ She was sure that when the day came she would take second place.

“Oh, come on,” he said, wrapping his arms around the girl. “Can you really imagine me dating someone?” He really couldn’t. It wasn’t that he had never fancied anyone. It was just that he never knew how to pursue those feelings. Other than the occasional drunken snogging session. The only committed relationship Callahan was in was with his own love of shotgunning muggle beers.

“Oh really? Is that why you keep me around then?“ she joked, ignoring the small mess since she was used to it at this point, easily cleaning it up with a handkerchief she kept in her robe pocket. She rolled her eyes at his last comment, wondering why he was so dense when it came to things such as romance. There were plenty of girls who thought he was charming enough, it was simply his lack of attention towards it. “Right, so you plan to stay single and pamper me forever then?“

Callahan chuckled. “Oh, totally.” He smiled at her proposition. “Doesn’t sound so bad.” He was wearing that big, goofy grin that he was so often associated with. “Come on, Lu, you can’t tell me that you don’t love having me around.” 

[callahan-collins]

adalheide‌:

            Her smile grew, “well thank you, handsome.” Her brows rose and she looked around once more. Everyone else looked stressed and she was simply glad that she was the type of person who was cautious when it came to what she put in her mouth. “A fan of anarchy, I take it,” she tilted her head and looked him over.

Callahan laughed at her calling him handsome. How sweet. He shook his head. “No, not of anarchy. Just of a good time.” He reached across her, grabbing an apple and biting into it. Once he had chewed and swallowed it he grinned. “It’s about time some people around here loosened up.”

[callahan-collins]

       Adelaide arched a brow in the young man’s direction and slowly, she gave him a pleasant smile. “Piacere di conoscerti (Pleased to meet you), I’m Adelaide. Is this a normal thing for this school?”

Callahan had no idea what she said to him, or even what language it was in, but he smiled ignorantly. “Adelaide. Cool name.” He said with a grin and a nod. As to her question: “I wish,” Callahan lamented. All this commotion was what he lived for. And if he were to be completely honest, he was a bit bummed he hadn’t been given the truth-telling potion just for the banter. 

[callahan-collins]

         Taking a bit of her toast, Adelaide watched as all the rest of the students rushed around and freaked out around her. It was honestly, one of the most entertaining things that she had seen in awhile. She leaned back and rested on her elbows as she looked around. “I guess as a new student, this is the best way to get to know everyone.”

Callahan was walking by the Slytherin table, observing as much as the madness as he could, when he overheard the girl. “This is the best it’s ever been,” he admitted enthusiastically. “I’m Callahan. Callahan Collins. Welcome to the madhouse.”

[callahan-collins]

She laughed lightly at the sight of his clumsy magic, thinking it was rather cute and endearing. “You know, sometimes I think you really spoil me,” she said lightheartedly. “If you keep this up what will I do when you finally find yourself a girlfriend?” Moving over to a table she placed her book down and pulled out two seats, one for herself and one for him. “Yes please, but not too much.”

“You’re easy to please. That’s all.” Callahan smiled as the coffee mug landed on the table in front of them with a clink, and the coffee pot began to fill it, occasionally splashing and spilling some onto the table. “Oops.” Once the pot was sat on the table, a second flick of his wand summoned the milk and sugar over sloppily. He had them land on the table so she could pour them herself- he knew she liked to do things without magic. “Ha,” he said, finally acknowledging what she had said about him getting a girlfriend. “As if.” 

[callahan-collins]

Ordinarily she would have protested being doted on by someone, being much to self empowered to accept it. But over the years he had become used to it when it came from him. She only had an older sister, with whom which the roles of whom was being over protective of the other seemed to be slightly reversed, and a good deal amount of cousins whom never worried for her due to her independent nature. So having him worry over made her come to think of him as the brother she never had. “I’d ask for some coffee but that might be pushing it,” she joked.

“Coffee? You got it.” Callahan couldn’t explain why he was wrapped around her finger. Ever since they met he just felt a natural instinct to protect her. Not that he found her to be fragile by any means, but she felt like family, and he would do anything for his family. He whipped out his wand and flicked it: as he was not the most proficient at magic, a coffee pot and mug clumsily made their way towards to duo. “Milk and sugar?”

Hearing the familiar voice Lucy’s frustration all but disappeared, causing her to sigh loudly as she stood up at normal height and faced her friend. “Yes please,” she responded with a small smile. Of course it would have been Callahan who had come to her aid when she needed it, it seemed to be that way most of the time. Which although freaky, was much appreciated. 

With a big, goofy grin, Callahan bent down, grabbing the girl who was practically a sister to him by the knees. He stood up, making her more than tall enough to grab the book she needed. Once she had it, he bent down again, landing her feet softly on the floor. “Anything else I can help you with?” He joked as he let go of her and stood back up normally. Although, if there was, he would be on it in a heartbeat for her.
