‘’Aren’t you being a tiny little bit para—’’ she stopped mid sentence at is words, about the order needing her, about him needing her, her family and friends needing her and she stopped for a moment. ‘’What? Why does anyone care what happens to me? I’m not important?’’ she asked, raising an eyebrow.

‘’What I mean is, what do I bring that’s not already here? I’m nothing but a body, when all is said and done who’ll remember Marlene McKinnon? Some random girl who died for something she believed in?’’ she let out a sigh. ‘’You would all move on without me, you’d be fine without me.’’ she crossed her arms over her chest.

She listened to what he had to say about her mum. ‘’I know… I understand, it won’t happen again.’’ she let out a sigh. Her anger ebbing slightly. ‘’What? It’s for the best if all I do is watch people die and get hurt, people that I could have saved or at least helped by being on a mission. Great.’’

He wasn't there to do anything other than assert the importance of her role in the team. He wasn't there to make her feel special and right now, he wanted to carry on distancing himself from her. It always felt as though he was struggling to find balance on a teetering tight rope between personal and professionalism when it came to Marlene.

“ Look, I am not talking to you about your relevance beyond the Order. It is not my job to ease your worries beyond that. ” he breathed in deeply. “ But the team is stronger with you and you want to be in the team, so stop being silly. ” He approached his desk once more to reach over and pour himself another drink, as he chose to sip this one instead. “ You're too emotional at the moment, that's why you need to take some time out. I'll find you some work behind the scenes. Don't fight me on this. ”

“Don’t deflect this conversation because you don’t like my driving, it was your idea for us to follow these guys with this…. contraption.” Sturgis muttered, motioning to the car. “And you couldn’t figure out how to do this, so let me drive. I was merely asking what happened at the party and you’re getting all fluffy. It’s rude, Moody.”

“ And when I tell you to do something I don't expect a huff and puff. ” Alastor snapped back as his hand came down harshly on the dashboard as though to silence the other man's insolence.

He pinched the bridge of his nose between thumb and fore, “ Nothing happened, dummy. If something had, you would've heard about it by now. I wanna know why you weren’t there to know that. ”

“Funny, you don’t look very sorry,” Mary laughed, tossing him a shirt that was stashed at her place for moments such as these. “You’re more than welcome to shower here anytime, but you know, we do have towels.”

He caught the shirt with a quick snatch, hoarse chuckling emitting from his tiers as he slipped it over his head and fitted it against his frame. Alastor threw his hands up in surrender. “ Didn't know where they were. Didn't wanna go through your cupboards and find something that I don't wanna see... ”

Molly patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry about it. I’m just trying to look out for you.” She was, but something deep down also worried Moody was going to catch unwanted attention to her and her pub.

Molly shrugged playfully at his remark. “Not now, but after a little rough housing, when they’re stronger, they’ll thank you for it. Or at least, that’s why I’d like to think my brothers aren’t tired of me.” Molly sat down beside her friend. It had been some time she had talked to someone who wasn’t an employee of hers. She figured she’d make the most of it to catch up. “Ah - there’s always trouble, but nothing I couldn’t handle. But rest assured, if I ever need your help, you’d know about it.”

“ Isn't that meant to be the other way round? ” he quipped with a faux frown before his lips pulled into a wolfish grin.

He lifted his glass to sip from it slowly, nodding rhythmically as he savoured the taste before placing it down once more to cast his friend a wink. “ I don't think anyone could get tired of you. ” Alastor remarked, offering his own light shrug. “ Good. Don'wanna be worrying about you too. ”

James laid on the ground, having been practicing his spells with Moody when the other had caught him with a very good stunning shot. A middle finger shot up as he gestured to the other. “That’s right where you can shove your karma, Alastor.”

Alastor finally ceased his attack on the other man and lowered his wand, nudging James with his boot. “ That’s Moody to you, Slick. You done whining? ”

❝Brains’ll only get you so far and luck always runs out.❞

His lips spread grimly at the other’s smile, his own lips twitching in slight amusement. “ Good thing you’ve got me to cover you since you’ve got neither, Bones. ”

alice-forts:

Alice nodded at his words. She realized that a lot of her training would be physical, and that was why she had spent a majority of her last year at Hogwarts getting better at dueling and fighting.

Alice smiled slightly when he gave her permission to go at him with everything she had. “Okay.” She shrugged, pulling her wand out from where it was secured in her hair. She wasn’t exactly confident that she could beat him, after all there was a reason he was in charge, but she knew she could hold her own.

After observing him for a second, Alice began her assault. She fired a quick nonverbal incendio at her teacher, not particularly wanting to set him on fire, but rather she hoped to back him into a corner. After her first spell, she put up a shield, knowing it would shield her from at least some of his attacks.

Moody’s brow frowned at Alice’s first chosen spell. Incendio, well, at least what she lacked in tardiness, she certainly made up for in courage. Most decided a stunning spell, occasionally a stinging hex. Fire was indeed dangerous, but it looked as though she could handle it. He had to admit he was somewhat impressed.

Deflecting the spell with swift ease, he shot back an array of stunning spells to try to diminish her shield before firing a non-verbal alarte ascendare towards her as he advanced on her, gasps of the other people echoing about the room.

“ That all yer got?! ” he mocked with a raised brow, tongue running along his teeth in disdain. “ I wanna see more. ”
