Claire Parkinson

Was that LUCY HALE I just saw walking down the hallways? Oh wait, no - that was CLAIRE PARKINSON. The FEMALE is a 20 year old HUFFLEPUFF who is in 9TH YEAR. I heard the PUREBLOOD has chosen to STAY NEUTRAL which explains why SHE is STRAIGHTFORWARD and INDEPENDENT, but also SPITEFUL and OVERBEARING. But who really knows?

Claire’s outfit: Siry Wedding Reception

[clairexparks]

Alina swallowed the lump in her throat as Claire ushered the girl, her head turning slightly away from her friend. “Madam Pomfrey isn’t exactly the best guard.” Her voice was soft as she stared at the ground next to the bed. Even with how close she and Claire have been over the years, there was something embarrassing about the bandages covering her right cheek. “I’m fine,” she found herself saying, the words feeling odd for how many times they’d passed her lips. Alina knew no one believed her when she said it, but she had to try to make them believe it. “I’m just not too keen on being stared at.”

“She is the worst guard.” Claire rolled her eyes. She sighed as the other claimed to be fine, she doubted if that was anything close to the truth. But she also didn’t know how to make her tell her to truth without being her signature annoying self. She figured that was not what Alina needed right now. “Not staring, I promise.” she said with a smile but I can hang out here for a while if you want the company?”

rita was quik to wipte at her eyes, and used her want to dispose of the ashes at her feet. “nothing,” she assured her friend as she turned back towards claire. “just…family stuff.” she muttered, “…what are you on about, then?” she asked a moment later.

“Well, I think I have bad news for you.” Claire sighed. She didn’t want to make her mood worse but this wasn’t something she could just hide from her. “So it looks like Sirius Black is planning a wedding for himself with Mary MacDonald?” she told the other. “Vivian just said we are planning the entire wedding reception.”

rita was quick to wipe the tears from her eyes when she heard footsteps behind her, entering the astronomy tower. she’d spent the better half of an hour being berated by a howler that her father had sent, and the lesser half crying about it and the rest of the stress and frustration she’d been feeling from being…well, alive. “what do you want?” she muttered as she tried her best to conceal the redness of her eyes, incinerating the howler on the spot with her wand and turning to face whomever had joined her.

[clairexparks]

“I am getting pissed off with my --” Claire began as she walked towards Rita before realizing that the other was in no mood to hear her petty ramblings. “What the hell happened?”

Everything was still a bit of a shock–the pain, the memory, the situation as a whole–but it was all she could think about. She had bandages wrapped around her ribs that needed to be changed every few hours, as well as the one on the right side of her head, covering her from cheekbone to neck. There were various other cuts and marks on her arms and legs, but none as serious enough to be wrapped or cover. When she was brought in to the Hospital Wing, she’d been in so much shock that the pain hadn’t registered until Madam Pomfrey applied a salve to help it heal. Once she had calmed down enough for them to wrap her wounds, they told her that she couldn’t tell anyone about Blaise being a werewolf and left her to get some rest. While Alina understood why they’d asked that of her, it made her oddly upset. Halfway through the day, Madam Pomfrey came by and helped her sit up before tending to her other patients, leaving Alina to sit and stare at the wall opposite of her. “I don’t want company,” she said when she heard someone walk up, her voice hoarse. “So if you’ve come to stare at the injured girl, you can go ahead and leave.”

“Fuck off.” Claire told the girl Alina was talking to before she hurried over to the blonde. “You’d think they’ll be a little more strict about who they allow inside the hospital wing.” She shook her head in exasperation, they wouldn't be having this problem had they been in Ilvermorny. Hell, Alina won’t have been fucking attacked by a wolf had she been there. “We should complain against the school, they are so lax with security. This is a place supposed to keep us safe.” she rambled on before a small sigh left her lips. “Are you feeling any better?”

Corban took the bottle, taking a long drink. “Wait, sorry did you just say Sybill?” His eyebrows shot up and he almost choked on his drink. “Yeah, as in bang her. Bloody hell, Claire, she deserves far better than me.”

“You want to bang everyone, Cor, just go with it, okay?” she rolled her eyes. “No, what she deserves is better than your whining. Now get going and plan what you are going to do with her this Saturday night. I’d plan it out for you -- but I doubt you want me to because I’ll make it way too elaborate and romantic for you to handle.”

“One drink, that’s it.” Phineas rolled his eyes playfully, taking a sip of the firewhiskey with a grimace. “If I make any dumbass life choices today I’m fully blaming you,” He warned her before gritting his teeth. “What a fucking asshole, where the fuck is he?” Phineas searched the party.

“You always make dumbass life choices, so no. I am not going to take the blame.” she grinned. “I don’t know where he is, but as a big brother you should throw him in the lake and drown him of course.”

“I, thanks,” Winnie cheeks flushed darker. “Guess all that practise paid off, right?” She joked lightly, eyebrows knitting together as the other summoned a box. “Oh, Claire — you didn’t have to get me anything.”

“Yes, it did.” she chuckled. “Thanks for putting up with me through this. I knew you had it in you.” She beamed at her proudly before leaning in to kiss her cheek and leaving her to meet the rest of her team. 

END.

Amelia shrugged, starting to look through some of the other clothes Claire brought to try to act casual around their discussion. “Trying to get more experience means that I at least have some. I don’t,” she told her. It was easy to be open to Claire about these things. “How are you suppose to tell someone likes you? Or when you are suppose to kiss them or not kiss them? Also, how do you even kiss someone? And why? Touching each other lips just seems weird and wet.” She didn’t realize she was babbling now.

“How have you not kissed anyone before.” Claire said mostly out of surprise. “I mean -- you are gorgeous, so many boys must have been after you.” she mused. “You are thinking too much into this Amelia, you should let your heart take the steering wheel and tell you head to shut the fuck up.”

Screams echoed in the stadium when Winnie caught the and Claire punched the air before she got to the ground, doing a group hug with all of her teammates. She was more elated than ever and her team her performed impeccably. As they began to disperse to meet her friends, she grabbed Winnie by her hand to stop her, throwing her arms around her in a tight hug. “You were absolutely amazing today, well done, and thank you.” she said with a bright smile on her features. She always knew Winnie had the talent, and this was the first match she had won for them, she was extremely proud of her. @winnieabbott 

Winnie couldn’t believe she’d caught the snitch, her face aching from grinning so much. All that extra practise to distract herself had helped, apparently. She didn’t particularly want to stick around, wanting to get changed quickly when someone grabbed her arm. She spun around, just in time for Claire to fling her arms around her. “Oh! Thanks, Claire,” Winnie smiled brightly at the girl, cheeks flushing at the compliment. “We did played so well. The whole team did amazing.”

[clairexparks]

“Yes, of course, I am proud of everyone. All of you did your best.” she agreed, glowing with pride as she watched the rest of her team make their way to the dressing rooms. “But you especially were amazing.” she said bouncing up and down. “You won the game for us and I wanted to thank you. I always told you that you had it in you, Winnie.” She waved her wand and a small wrapped box appeared in front of them. “This is for you. I bought it when you joined the team to give it to you when you caught your first snitch. Congratulations.”

Claire was clearly elated about her team’s win that day. “Go Team!” she sang happily as she walked right into someone, tripping and almost losing her balance. “I’m sorry, maybe I’ve had a little too much.” she giggled, waving a bottle in the air. 

Parties had never really been his scene, usually only staying for a short time before going back to his dorm. And if it hadn’t been for Claire, Max wouldn’t have even gone to this one. But he knew she’d be disappointed if he didn’t show up. “Claire!” He said when she bumped into him. “I’d say maybe you should slow down a little but… I know you won’t listen. Especially not after that win.”

[clairexparks]

“You are wrong, I should not slow down.” she said with a laugh, glad to see that Max was at their victory party. “I thought you wouldn’t come. And then I’ll have to come find you and express my disappointment tomorrow, but look at you, finally learning. Have something to drink, Max!” she said and handed him the bottle she held in her hand, one which was almost empty.

“Alina!” Claire sang, throwing her hands around her in a hug. “I know, but we really needed this win to stay in the running for the quidditch cup and I’m really happy we won!”

“I’m happy for you,” she said with a laugh, hugging her friend back. “You know that if I played, we’d have to be rivals, but I’m fine rooting for you from the sidelines for now.”

[clairexparks]

“You will always have to root for me. Even if you played and we are rivals.” she insisted as she took another swig from her bottle. “Why does it feel like everything is getting blurry?” she asked the blonde, her words slurring together.

[liljuliet]

clairexparks‌:

Claire grinned widely. “And well done you too. I see your Gryffindor pals are all grumpy.” she laughed and offered her the bottle. “More?”

“Well we kicked their asses,” Juliet grinned, “Besides, if you’re talking about Sirius, he’s always grumpy.” The girl joked, before happily accepting the bottle. “Oh you’re the best,” She murmured, taking a swig before handing it back.

[clairexparks]

“We did.” she grinned. “Well, he is one of them. And he wasn’t really nice when he was doing commentary, was he?” She would normally be pissed but they had won now, so the joke was on him. She handed her the bottle and laughed. “I mean, their team too.”

clairexparks‌:

“You are not allowed to be alright with water, Phin!” Chaire laughed and pushed a cup of firewhiskey into his hand. “But I need a favour. James Potter pushed me into the lake, we have to murder him!” 

“Shouldn’t you be proud I’m not drinking of something?” He mused, eyes falling down to the firewhiskey. One wouldn’t hurt, right? “Wait, he wait?” Phineas’ eyes narrowed as he glanced back up. 

[clairexparks]

“Why would I be proud that you are not drinking on the one night I am letting you?” she grinned before she huffed angrily. “Yeah, the jerk pushed me in the water because his team lost. Asshole.”

[phinparkinson]

clairexparks‌:

Despite his, warning, she could feel herself hope that maybe this was their way out. “Okay, how do we do this? What do you need me to do?” she asked her brother curiously.

“Not here, we should discuss this later. Meet me in the boathouse after curfew? No one should be around then.”

[clairexparks]

“I am not walking all the way till the boathouse after my skin care routine for the night. Meet me in the kitchens, okay?” she told her brother before she pressed a kiss to his cheek and walked away. 

END.

[vivianvane]

clairexparks‌:

“No I don’t want water.” she chuckled. “We won! I get a free pass to get drunker than ever today!

“Alright, I’ll give you that one,” Vivian laughed, shaking her head. “You guys did so well, I wanted to congratulate you.”

[clairexparks]

“Thank you.” she grinned at the other. “We really needed this win or we would have been out of the running for the quidditch cup, but now that we have secured the chance, I am so happy!” she told the other, clearly pleased with herself and her entire team. 

[coryaxley]

clairexparks‌:

“Thanks you, Cory!” Claire grinned at the other. “I have good news for you, by the way. I found you a date!”

“Oh fuck me, I’m not drunk enough for this,” Corban muttered, taking another gulp from the bottle. “Alright, who is it?”

[clairexparks]

“That’s easily remedied.” she giggled and handed him her bottle. “I am setting you up with Sybill. Don’t even pretend like you don’t want this because I see both of you giving each other that look.” He poked at his chest. “And she agreed. She said ‘if that’s what the fates want’.” she scoffed. “I guess fates is my new nickname now.”
