It was all but fact that he would be taking someone home from the party, but he certainly never expected it to be Cassandra Wilkes. Perhaps Emmeline, or Emma and Marlene both, or someone he hardly knew. This, though, this was a surprise. He nodded, still feeling the heavy weight that clouded every thought in his head. He looked between her eyes, gaze starting there and making a heated trail down her body, but only after stopping to stare at her lips.

“It was supposed to happen this way.” He agreed, voice sounding harsh and emotional. He look at her for another moment longer, and then shoved his mouth against hers. He couldn’t help. They were standing so close, and this was exactly what he ought to be doing.

His gaze sent a chill through her, and with it, Cass knew that this night was going to end far differently than she had expected. She had chosen to ignore Ludovic - she wasn’t one for awkward tension, but perhaps that had all been a mistake. There was tension, but it was far from awkward.

Her thoughts were silenced as soon as his lips crashed into hers, and Cassandra quickly pulled him in tighter, letting out a soft hum against him.

Ludovic had never faced a situation like these, being this close to a girl his brother was with, once upon a time. All the girls Otto’s age were too old for Ludovic when they’d attended Hogwarts, and the girls Ludo’s age too young for Otto. It was nice, their ages lining up in such a way, but he supposed that had to end sometime. Today, apparently. 

He couldn’t care, not even about Otto. Nothing mattered anymore, not Quidditch, not his friends, not Emmeline, not even his own freedom meant very much to him. 

His fingers curled into her waist, grabbing the material of her clothing hard as he pulled her towards him. “Looking for you, silly.” He whispered, eyes flickering between hers. “This is strange, isn’t it?”

Cassandra had never gone for siblings before, but perhaps there was a first time for everything. She had never felt such an intense pull to one person, and that had to mean something. Anything before was a distant memory - the boys at Durmstrang, Otto, even what she had done earlier in the day - nothing mattered, not as long at Ludovic stayed near her.

She stumbled a bit as he pulled her, but caught herself against his body, grinning all the while. “How lucky you found me.” Her voice was low, and she pulled his head closer to her own, her lips dancing close to his. “It feels like it was all supposed to happen this way.”

WHO: Ludovic Bagman and Cassandra Wilkes WHEN: Saturday, March 18th, 1978. WHERE: The Room of Requirement

He couldn’t even remember why they were throwing the party anymore, only that he needed to find her. He often had a one track mind on the best of days, but this was just something else entirely. His head was so heady, so full of emotion, that he thought he would fall over from the weight of it all. There weren’t many words in his thoughts, only red and pictures of her face. He pushed his way through the guests, knocking snogging couples and all out of the way, until he found her by the wall. 

He walked slowly, like he was in a trance, stopping in front of her. “Wow.” He said, reaching thoughtlessly for her hands and grabbing them in his. “Look at you.” @cassandrawilkes

Cassandra had barely had time to finish her first drink before her head was pounding - though it wasn’t because of the alcohol. No, this was different. She was very suddenly overcome by a need to find him - nothing else at the party really mattered anymore. She left her drink on a table, surely, she wouldn’t need it where she was going, and moved closer to a wall to survey the room.

Before she could get a good look, he was there, and a shiver went up her spine as he took her hands. “Mmm.” She smiled, moving her hands to rest on his shoulders, letting his fall near her waist. “Where have you been?”

[cassandrawilkes]

Taping her wand on the goblet of pumpkin juice in front of her lightly, Cassandra raised a brow as the consistency, and certainly the color, appeared to change. She gave it a small snif, before downing the contents. Placing the goblet back down, she gave a small grin to the person across the table. “Well. It worked.”

WHO: Cassandra Wilkes and anyone WHEN: February 17, afternoon WHERE: A corridor, near a window

Cassandra felt as if she were trapped in a cage, and she hated it. She had chosen to come to Hogwarts to be closer to Logan, but with the amount of thing that had happened just since Christmas, she was beginning to wonder if she should have remained at Durmstrang. Yes, she was making friends, and yes, she had been having a good time, but with the aurors, the new rules, the attacks, and the missing girl, Cass was itching to get out.

Sensing that she was no longer alone, the brunette didn’t make the effort to turn, her focus still out as she spoke, not looking at her new companion. “You know, they invented these things called cameras. They take photographs, which, weirdly enough, you can look at and not give someone the creeps.”

Logan waited impatiently for Cass to get to the point and explain just why they should know who the auror was. The explanation did bring back some vague memories, but as Logan had spent any dinners at home pretending they weren’t there and pointedly not paying attention to anything, they really didn’t remember seeing him. “Oh, well, they’re always telling me I need to find a good Greek man. I can do something right for once.” Their brows went up at the remark. Strange could be good or bad, and honestly Logan didn’t care either way. They weren’t actually interested in the future their parents had planned for them - marriage and children? Not appealing. But this Icarus Pyrites was hot and that was enough for them in the moment. “Strange how?”

Being twins, there were many things that Cassandra and Logan could communicate without speaking. Shared looks, thoughts, and feelings were easy between the two. As they both had grown older, and further apart, though, it had proven to be harder. Cass found herself wishing for their old level of communication, as she let out a short huff of breath in frustration. Why couldn’t Logan just agree, and move on? “And when have you ever listened to them? If you find a Greek man then they win - everything they’ve ever planned for you comes true - yay!” Her final word was biting and sarcastic, and her eyes were soon following Icarus again, watching as he moved. There were goosebumps forming on the back of her neck, and she was sure it was more than the February air causing them. “He’s just... too...” She couldn’t find the words and she finally threw her hands against the cot in frustration. “I don’t know, Logan. There’s just something off there.”

Logan was not made for empathy. Even with Cass, there was often something in the way of Logan’s attempts to be considerate and gentle. They just expressed their love in other ways, or at times when they were alone. And so despite Cass’s obvious discomfort, Logan hadn’t been overly quiet or careful with their twin sister. They turned to her at the question, brow wrinkling for a minute before they looked back at the auror in question. He did seem a little familiar but Logan wasn’t sure at all where from. “Should he? I don’t remember him.” They attempted to modulate their tone though, as it was pretty clear that Cass was hungover, and Logan could be mindful of their voice.

How could Logan be so thick? Cass knew they had spent the majority of their shared childhood rebelling against anything their parents had wanted, but surely, they had to have some recollection of the visitors that had come to their home? Especially concerning one Icarus - Cassandra was sure she’d never forget his strange white gloves, or the way she always just felt off around him. Her parents and grandparents had adored him though, and she was surprised that Logan had no memory. Even in her less than sober state, Cass could remember awkward and uncomfortable dinners. “That’s Icarus Pyrites. Papou and Yaya know his family from Greece, mum and dad adore him -” She looked to her twin, trying to gauge any sort of memory. “He was at our house for Christmas a few years ago. He’s... strange.”

WHO: Amara Zabini and Cassandra Wilkes  WHEN: Tuesday, February 14th, 1978. WHERE: Courtyard, Valentines Dance

@cassandrawilkes

When she had conspired to have a good time that evening Amara hadn’t imagined just how well that was going to work out for her. She’d even managed to have a somewhat decent conversation with Emma and if that wasn’t a miracle she wasn’t sure what was. Admittedly, it was a bit surprising to find how many people were willing to hand roses over to her in exchange for a kiss but she definitely wasn’t going to question it. Especially when it provided her with the opportunity to approach leggy brunettes who seemed just as actively participating in the game as she was. 

Amara wasn’t completely sure of who she was, but it didn’t exactly matter. The woman had piercing blue eyes that were highlighted beautifully by her red and gold mask, her fashion sense was impeccable, and perhaps the most important - she exuded confidence which just made her all the more attractive. She weaved her way through the crowd, stopping just long enough to collect another rose, before making her way to the woman. “Having a good time?” she asked, offering her a smile and indicating the clutch of roses in the other woman’s hands as she came to stand before her. 

The night had proven to be an enjoyable enough distraction from the real world, and Cassandra could even feel her old self returning. This was the girl that knew how to have a good time, how to command and hold a room, and how to get what she wanted. It felt good to be back, she mused, and looking at the small collection of roses in her hand, she couldn’t help but grin. 

When the stranger approached, she offered a smile, before tilting her head to the side. Hogwarts had proven to have quite the student body, and while she was meeting knew people every day, Cass wasn’t sure that she could place this figure. She was sure the masks were doing no help, nor was the alcohol in her system, but she found that she couldn’t care. Straightening her head, her smile only grew. “I can confidently say that I am now.” She offered with a slight shrug. “Cassandra Wilkes.” She introduced herself, the smile still wide.

Having their twin at school had been an interesting experience - a good one, to be sure. Logan was more than happy to spend time with Cass, but there was a thin line to walk between getting too involved in her relationships but still trying to keep an eye on her. Although Cass was older by a few minutes, Logan had always felt protective of their sister. But that didn’t mean they wanted to get too involved in anything that was going on, unless they were specifically invited.

However at the party, when they spotted Cass, they wasted no time in going over to her, elbowing  people out of the way to get to her side. “Be assured, I am not making any moves right now. Just came to say hello to my favorite sister.”

Cassandra grinned as she recognized Logan, moving a bit so that she was closer to her twin. Attending school with them had been interesting, to say the least, and there was a lot that Cass didn’t fully understand about her twin and what all they did, but all the same, they were twins, and Cass would never think to ill of them. For the most part, she stayed uninvolved, meeting new people and learning her way around. It had proven to be quite interesting, and she was content with her decision to finish her schooling at Hogwarts.

“I’m going to ignore the fact that I’m your only sister and take that as a compliment.” Her grin was shining, and her eyes scanned the crowd a bit, before returning to Logan. “Seems like an interesting enough crowd.”

There was alcohol a-flowing at the Valentines Day Party, despite the best efforts of the professors to halt the stream. Surprisingly enough, Ludovic hadn’t really had all that much to drink, choosing to move through the crowd collecting roses and giving out kisses. He’d done a fair bit of exchanging with his roses, giving and receiving them at a fairly equal rate. However, in the past twenty minutes alone, two younger witches handed a rose to him, so now he walked around with five in his hands, a smirk on his face. There was someone watching him, he noticed suddenly, looking over to make eye contact with a masked woman.

Ludovic had a mask on himself, but he was easily recognizable by the hot pink suit he wore, with little cupids fluttering about. It was very much his line of style for an event such as this. He grinned in response to her comment, moving forward. “I could say the same thing to you, you know.” He said a bit teasingly, holding up all five of his roses for her to see.

“Wow.” Cassandra couldn’t hide the surprise in her voice as Ludovic approached. His outfit was quite distinctive, and even though she was new to the school, she would have recognized him a mile out. There was nothing subtle about Ludovic Bagman, she had learned. 

She was already a few shots in, and definitely feeling her buzz, but Cass was not nearly as gone as some of the other party goers. It seemed that he wasn’t either, and looking at the roses in his hand, she raised a brow. Interesting. “That’s quite impressive, I must say. Though I suppose the resident party king of the school is used to girls throwing themselves at him.” Her tone was teasing as she grinned under her mask.

Who: Logan & Cass ( @cassandrawilkes ) Where: The Great Hall When: February 15, when the aurors arrive

Logan was bored. They could think of a hundred things they would rather be doing, and yet they were trapped in the Great Hall with the rest of the student body. Aside from those who had been hurt, of course - they deserved it, siding with Grindelwald rather than the Dark Lord. It was clear which was the correct side. Logan was rather impressed with Charlotte Fawley, although it didn’t seem as if she had been overly successful. And anyway, it would have been better to plan it more so that the students weren’t trapped in the Great Hall. When the door opened, Logan looked up without much interest; that changed though when they spotted a vaguely familiar man. Straightening up, Logan elbowed Cass. “Look at him. Maybe today will be more interesting than I thought.”

Valentine’s Day had proven to be enjoyable enough. Her mind had been cleared for at least a night, but that had come at a price - with the early wake up to get everyone into the hall, Cassandra’s head was pounding. The cots provided were awful, and with every blasted candle lit, the possibility of going back to sleep was impossible. She supposed a part of her should feel some sense of grief for the students who had been attacked, but with the way her head was pounding, she couldn’t quite form the sympathy. When Logan spoke she opened her eyes, and following their gaze, she sat up, squinting, trying to see who her twin could possibly be talking about. When her eyes landed on Icarus Pyrites though, she straightened. “Logan you have got to be shitting me. You do know who that is, right?”
