“I wouldn’t sit there if I were you,” he warned.

Cecily’s brow raised in reluctance, she didn’t sit just in case. “Why?”

[cecilybeckett]

“The point is that you’re – you’re obviously still angry, or upset. And,” now he did let out a sigh, albeit a small one. A lot had changed after the past few months. “And maybe I deserve it, but I don’t want you holding onto that. Not when it still affects you.”

“I am upset, yes.” She admitted with a nod. There was no point of lying. Her arms crossed against her chest as she waited for him to continue. “But I will get over it eventually.” She sighed too. She let the silence linger for a second, frowning.

“What are you suggesting? Do you really believe we can be friends?” She stopped to correct herself. “Well, not friends but at least friendly.”

Fabian, too, had seen a muggle movie or two, but never had he seen a depiction of such horror. He felt himself pale at the thought. “You really think that could happen?”

Cecily paused for a second, shuddering at the thought. “I hope not.” She turned to Fabian, eyes widened. “Besides, we have magical abilities, we can stop the door from closing...” She wasn’t sure though. “Right?”

WHEN: 8 July, 1979 WHERE: Ministry of Magic WHO: Cecily Beckett @cecilybeckett​ & Fabian Prewett

“Hold it, hold it, hold—” Fabian gasped for breath as he narrowly slipped between the doors to the lift before they slammed shut. His sigh of relief was loud enough to drown out the soothing voice announcing their floor. He turned to the person nearest him, and grinned sheepishly. “Close call, eh?”

Cecily extended her arm to hold the lift, luckily Fabian managed to slip between the doors before it’s too late. Forcing a grin, she turned to him. “It really was.” She said, adjusting her bag’s strap. “I wouldn’t have tried. I am even terrified of the idea. Like what if I got stuck in there? That happens to people apparently, I have seen in a muggle movie once.”

[cecilybeckett]

Frank bit back a sigh of his own. He really didn’t understand why she still held so much animosity. It’d been almost a year since they were together, and even then she seemed so angry, so hurt, any time they saw each other. “I just meant, there’s no need to actively try and avoid me. We can be civil.”

Letting go has never been Cecily’s strong suit, she held onto her grudges forever. It didn’t matter how much she loved Frank back then, her grudge always overshadowed what they shared once. “What’s the point, Frank?” She shrugged. “I will be leaving soon.” Cecily said, voice shaky. “We will probably never see each other again.”

[cecilybeckett]

franklongbooty​:

“You don’t need to do that, you know.”

“It’s better in that way.” Cecily sighed. “It’s not like we can be friends.”

[cecilybeckett]

franklongbooty​:

“It’s fine – they’d have blown away otherwise.”

“I know they’d have.” Cecily sighed. “I was just making a point.” She pressed her lips together. “And trying to avoid you, just like I promised.”

[cecilybeckett]

franklongbooty​:

Frank was walking back to his flat, eyes half on the person currently walking towards him, carrying a pile of boxes and papers stacked so high their face was hidden. He was just thinking to himself that there would be much easier ways to do it, when the person tripped, and their belongings scattered everywhere, some even landing near his feet. Frank crouched down to pick them up, glancing upwards to meet eyes with none other than Cecily Beckett. He offered her a weak smile as he stood, holding the papers out to her. “Here.”

@cecilybeckett​

As usual, Cecily was in a rush, running one class to another. Usually she would be complaining about her busy schedule but now that she was aware these were her last days in Hogwarts, the rush didn’t bother her. Books carried against her chest, she accidentally tripped on her shoelaces and dropped the books on the ground. With a quiet groan, she reached for her books, only to meet a familiar gaze. Great, she thought. She tried to keep a straight face as much as she could, then forced a smile. “Thank you.” She took the papers. “You didn’t need to though.”

Pandora had barely slept while thinking about the wedding, the time had really passed too quickly and suddenly the wedding day had come. However, she had never been a good example when it came to good sleep routines and organized schedules, yet her energy never runned out. Just like now, Gilbert and Cecily were sitting while Pandora paced back and forth, unable to keep quiet, not because she was nervous, but because she was finally with the two people she most respected. “Of course!” replied Pandora to Cecily enthusiastically, looking with a smile at Gilbert, before her gaze caught something interesting which distracted her from the conversation “Should we play a game ? ”

Nodding, Gilbert gestured to the game as he took another drag from his joint. “Sure, that sounds great! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do anything like that. Speaking of whiles, it’s been one since I’ve seen either of you as well… I really am sorry for that.”

Offering both women a small smile, Gil shrugged slightly, “Things have been… a bit chaotic.”

“A play sounds great, Gil is right, it has been a while since this trio has played one.” Cecily went along with Pandora’s idea, smiling. They all were busy with their lives, graduation was approaching and frankly, Cecily couldn’t wait to leave this chapter of her life behind. “No need to be sorry, we know how busy you were.” First his mother’s sudden death, then the wedding. “Apothecary, wedding, family business... Must be really hard to keep it together.” @rohmantiq​

“Less than an O? You’re reaching,” He scoffed, until he realized – “Oh, you’re serious. Well, you’re in good hands, because,” He brought the joint up to his lips, “I guarantee I’ll make this baby happy as a clam.”

“Of course I am.” Cecily sighed. “I really want to trust you Davey because this is so important for me, okay? We will make sure this mandrake baby will stay alive and happy for a week, then we both will get our Os and move on with our lives.”

Fabian gaped openly at Alice. “That’s not true,” he protested, with little evidence to back his claim—though he saw little evidence to back hers. “What are you on about?”

“Amelia?” Hogwarts was a rumor mill, and while Alice hadn’t exactly been on the pulse of what was happening, she heard enough to figure that much out. “I’ve been sleeping with Frank. I’m going to stop sleeping with Frank.”

[cecilybeckett]

Davey began to laugh. “I’m thinking about the little dirt mustache I’ll get from kissing it.”

“Now you got me thinking of that too.” She grimaced a little. “Not a sight I want to imagine nor witness.” Cecily told him with a sigh. “I need you to take this seriously Davey, I am going to graduate in a month and the last thing I want is getting anything less than an O.”

[cecilybeckett]

daveygudgeon‌:

“You mean, like, kiss it?”

“I meant like hugging it once in a while,” She stopped to look over the mandrake baby. “But if you really want to kiss it, be my guest.”

[cecilybeckett]

daveygudgeon‌:

“Hey, I have a toad named Juan. He’s alive.” Right, he didn’t mention the fact that he didn’t know where said toad was at the moment. He’d just hop out at any given moment, give ya a right scare. That’s what Davey loved about him most. “Okay, okay, so I won’t smoke around the thing. Any other rules while we’re alone, mummy?”

“Is he, really?” Cecily wouldn’t believe it until she saw the toad with her two eyes. “Thank you, the least you can do.” Her eyes rolled at the word mummy. “Just try to keep it alive, don’t give any drugs to it. I assume you would also have to be a little affectionate towards it, which is something I am incapable of doing.”

[cecilybeckett]

daveygudgeon‌:

Stay-at-home dad, huh? Opposite of deadbeat, that was for sure. Davey flicked his cigarette’s ashes off into the Mandrake’s pot, bringing it back up to his lips, “I like the way you think.”

“Don’t do that!” Cecily widened her eyes at Davey as she saw him flicking the ashes off into the pot. This felt like she was going to take care of two children and to be frank, she didn’t have the patience to be anyone’s babysitter, yet here they were. “Have you ever taken care of a baby before? Wait, let me rephrase; have you ever taken care of anything before?”

[cecilybeckett]

“Mhm, and that’s precisely the reason I’ve never seen that film.” Daphne finished off the rest of her champagne. “I’m going to find something to eat. Can I bring you back something?” 

“I haven’t watched too many muggle movies but I have seen that one.” Cecily tried to keep up with muggle world as much as she could, there were some aspects that she truly appreciated but she’d always pick wizard lifestyle over muggle one. “That would be great, bring whatever you pick for yourself.”
