         ❝Sorry about ruining your early morning vicious fight❞ Isobel said with a small smile, ❝it’s just me❞ she took a few steps towards Daisy. Daisy Hookum in Isobel’s book was the dictionary description of the perfection, while Isobel cared little for the opinions of others, it was undeniable that Daisy was who the perfect Hufflepuff ought to be, kind, loving, pureblooded. Isobel didn’t even belong in her own house, cold, distant, an outlier, and if people were to be believed, she didn’t even belong in the magical world. 

         ❝I take it you had the same idea as me, fresh air before facing the vapors of potion’s class❞ Isobel liked potions, she thrived in class, mainly because she was a perfectionist, and following instructions sorta came with the description of being a stickler for the rules, she went as far as being a member of the potions club, but she knew that plenty of her classmates didn’t share her same enthusiasm, so she complained about the only thing she wished could be changed about the class, the incredible humidity that came with running cauldrons at full steam. ❝How was your summer?❞

A SWEET UNASSUMING LAUGH ESCAPED DAISY AS SHE CONTINUED TO KICK HER feet just above the water. Vicious fight really was a laughable notion. Daisy was too kind, too soft to actually fight with anyone. The comment before about as close to fighting as she will even get. “You aren’t ruining anything Isobel.” Daisy chimed in that easy way of hers.

She sighed softly, though she had been thinking about potions since the moment she came out here she didn’t really enjoy it being brought up. She whipped her head around to face her fellow puff, a sweet smile still perched on her lips, despite the subject. “I was actually sitting out here debating if the trouble I would get in would be worth it to skip the class. I don’t think Slughorn likes me, of course I accidentally mixed up Powder Unicorn hair with A Griffin Claw last year and the potions classroom had to be evacuated for a few hours. So like I can’t blame him, but still.” She admitted though she was certain Isobel had been there for that incriminating mistake. Hogwarts was great but it seemed so hard to hide mistakes at times and that was super frustrating. 

She grinned brightly, glad to be on a subject she actually cared about. There was a light behind her hazel eyes that couldn’t be quenched. “It was fantastic. Obviously I missed all my friend but I went to this muggle festival and spent most of my time painting. How was your summer? are things getting better with your family?” she asked genuinely, almost feeling guilty about her own family dynamic.

It was like a breath of fresh air and suffocating at the same time being back at Hogwarts. Charity did tremendous work during the break between semesters, basking in the presence of Muggles going about their daily lives and on the outside looking in. Notes upon notes upon notes. And while she was happy to be among her peers and those like her, that same enthusiasm was met with bitter disdain and accusatory glances from others. The latter ignored, naturally, Charity had learned years ago to take the high road, keep her chin up, grin and bear it. 

The Black Lake was a favorite place on the grounds, along with many. Relishing in the last of summer’s and what it had to offer, Charity was going over her class schedule, making that list and checking it twice to ensure her success for her sixth year. Spotting a familiar shade of red, Charity whipped up her parchment and snapped her books shut with the flick of her wrist and skipped over to Daisy. 

“One hot-air charm and you’ll be good as new.” The retort came easily to her fellow Hufflepuff and someone she considered friend, but she held up her hands in mock-surrender, placing them behind her back in a sign of peace. “All in good fun, Daisy, you know I would never.” But a taunting tease played on the curls of her lips as she amused herself with the thought. 

HEARING CHARITY’S VOICE MADE DAISY VISIBLY RELAX. KNOWING IT WASN’T ONE  of those hateful purist who called her blood traitor or numerous other names made it easier to smile and laugh. “I’m pretty sure I could get over being wet, what I cant get over is sharing space with the giant squid.” Daisy quipped, light hearted turning her gaze until it fell on Charity next to her. Daisy hadn’t exactly expected alot of people to be out here before classes started. Merlin knows most of her dorm-mates would be sleeping till the very last moment, but Daisy just wasn’t like that. She loved Hogwarts before classes. It was so quite and serene, but then again she didn’t mind sharing it with others if she liked them. And Daisy liked Charity. “If you did I would pull you in with me.” Daisy’s eyes twinkled with the mischievous promise. Perhaps she was spending too much time with Sirius. “How was your summer by the way? I didn’t really get out much to see anyone so I fell so out of the loop.”

Greta had found herself wandering outside despite the nagging in her head to stay tucked within Hogwart’s walls. Normally she’d be too nervous to go near the Black Lake, both because of the creatures that call the lake their home and the fact that it was near the slytherin dorm, but she wanted to lounge around the water before her potions class began. She was a bit caught off guard at the presence already there, but she relaxed when she realized it was only Daisy. Greta enjoyed the girl’s company, and she was the only one she told about her crush on her best friend. Greta held her school books close to her chest before she sat down next to the witch. “I wouldn’t push anyone into that lake.” She paused a bit before changing her statement. “Well, maybe a few people, but you’re not one of them.” The death eaters that picked on her were a different story, but she knew that they’d most likely get the better of her before she could attempt such a thing. “What are you doing out here?”

DAISY OPENED HER EYES, GLANCING BACK AT GRETA AND CHUCKLING SLIGHTLY AT the girls comment. She had missed Greta, Sirius and Severus had taken up her time at the ball and Daisy couldn’t even remember seeing the girl at the dance, though she was doubtfully there. Greta was very similar to Daisy in that aspect, though hopefully she had much more fun then Daisy did that night. “I would most definitely push Rod in, but I’m pretty sure he has eyes in the back of his head.” Daisy mused, amused with herself. She sat up a little straighter, kicking her feet over the rock she was sitting on, her toes skimming the water. “I didn’t feel like going to potions and I was sitting out here contemplating skipping it or not... What about you?” She asked with a quirk of her brow.

WHERE: Black Lake WHEN: September 2nd, early morning WHO: Daisy & anyone

AS THANKFUL AS DAISY WAS TO BE BACK AT SCHOOL, SHE WAS NOT LOOKING forward to Potions being her first class of the new semester. She should have been with the other students getting ready for class instead of being outside soaking up the early morning sun. She sat perched on a rock over looking the lake, enjoying the slight breeze blowing off the waters surface. If she was braver she might have even taken a swim, Giant Squid be damned. She didn’t bother to open her eyes as she felt something stiring beside her. she probably should have considering the aurors now wondering the halls. the last thing she wanted was to get into trouble before classes could even start but she was enjoying herself and couldn’t be damned to care. Not really at least. “Don’t even think about pushing me in.” she warned her voice soft but timid. Her warning probably falling on deaf ears anyway. “I will not be responsible for the things that happen if you do...” It was a weak threat and anyone who knew Daisy knew she would never really retaliate...

     If this was any other year prior, Sirius probably wouldn’t have slowly recognized Daisy Hookum, mostly because he didn’t pay her much mind before she had yelled at him. It was hard to forget that, even now, he began to respect her after that. It wasn’t often that Sirius gave respect to just anyone but Daisy earned it. His smile grew, maybe a little on the wild side, but her words entertained him. “It might be tamed but it’s all about the build-up. Do something small, something overlooked, and the whole place will lose their minds.” He adjusted his mask just slightly, already annoyed with the thing as he looked around the crowd real quick.

     “Unless you have a better idea? Flying Aurors is great and all but I’m pretty sure that would get us in trouble faster than something small like bubbles.” Sirius wasn’t about to get himself kicked out of the ball, even if the whole thing has been uncomfortable for him. “My edge is not lost, just working its way up, mind you.”

In the way he smiled at her Daisy could understand why all the girls she knew went wild for the Older Black boy. It was like taking a walk on the wild side, something Daisy didn’t really have any inclination to do but she could appreciate the view from a far. “The build up huh?” She arched a brow underneath her mask. Damn this stupid thing masking her facial expressions. “You know that makes alot of sense. Last year someone moved everything in my dorm 3 inches to the left and I nearly lost my shit.” She admitted with a slight chuckle. when it was happening and her stuff was moving seemingly on their own it hadn’t been so funny. Maybe it was OCD but Daisy liked things to be orderly.

“I thought you enjoyed getting into trouble. You definitely get detention enough.” She teased, while giving herself a moment to think about what he said. He was right that sending Auror’s flying would be a bad idea. the two of them would probably be taken down to the Aurors office. She still didn’t think bubbles was enough to make this party salvageable. “Wait.” She said an idea coming to her. Her face broke into a great big grin as she turned towards him again. “So this might be a little convoluted, but what if we charmed the punch to make anyone who drank it break out into song? I think it’s better then bubbles and it would be hard to pin on us.”

       HER BLUE CRITICIZING eyes were on the girl that seemed to keep dancing even when everyone else had been done, in her own world she seemed to be enjoying herself, just like everyone seemed to be amused at her behalf. “Quite,” Narcissa answered with a drench of sarcasm and clear amusement of the girl. “You usually unravel in solo dancing? Or was that just the mood of tonights endeavors?”  

Daisy cringed, the girls astute observation stung despite the fact that her words weren’t actually mean, just a little glib. “I’d like to say it was just a tonight thing. That all the ministry workers were getting under my skin...” her words petered off as she glance around at the older people meandering around the room looking like they wanted to be here even less then she did. “..but I don’t normally dance solo so there really is no way of knowing.”

“No names? Well, it’ll be your fault if they question us and our stories don’t match up because we don’t know each other’s names,” he scoffed, though he wasn’t too upset about it. Most people would quickly leave the conversation if they realized they were talking to Severus Snape. Which - as it turned out - he was surprised she had yet to notice, seeing as his hooked nose made his mask sit awkwardly on his face, and his greasy black hair kept falling into his eyes.

He made a gesture of dismissal. As long as it’d get him out of here, he’d put up with this girl’s requests for the time being. “Fine then, Psyche. I’ve got twigs for arms, but luckily magic is on our side. Just act like you’ve gotten too hot, nothing too serious or else we’ll be off to Saint Mungo’s…”

Severus pulled his wand from his pocket, sliding it into his sleeve. Leaning towards her, he murmured, “Go ahead when you’re ready. I’ll catch you and bring you to the door, hopefully they’ll let us right through.”

His grumblings made sense to a point but Daisy didn’t much care. Ration and sense could go out the window when faced with the hufflepuff’s fantastical imagination. She grinned softly beneath her mask when he called her psyche, of all the greek names she could have chose... Merlin she was a nerd. “I can do that no problem.”

something switched in her as she leaned against the boys side, careful not to drape herself against him for fear it would look too campy and fake. The boy had been right, they just wanted to get out of her, not get her sent to St. Mungo’s. Spending the night in the hospital might be a step up from this party though. She fanned herself lazily, looking up at the boy. this close there was something familiar about him that she couldn’t quite see before, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. She ignored it for the moment and began acting. “I think I just need some air. It’s so hot in here.” She said as they passed one of the ministry workers who hardly gave them a second glance.

“I know what you mean,” Theo said, tilting her head to listen to the latest track. “Warbeck’s warbling isn’t really fun dance music. But I’m sure there are more exciting artists lined up.” There had just been that one song after all. Theo definitely hoped there were more.

“Don’t worry darling, I got you covered,” Theo said, a broad smile making its way across her face as she led the way to the drinks table. She circled it a few times, peering at the cups and turning her head this way and that (mainly for dramatic effect) before picking up two cups and offering one to the other girl. “Here, this should be good.”

Daisy liked to think she could dance to anything but the girl had a point. Warbeck was pretty bad, though it was almost the only thing her mother listened to. She tilted her head to the side and let out an exaggerated sigh. “What I wouldn’t give to hear some Beetles music. Of course if that happened in this crowd a riot might break out.” she chuckled picturing the stuffy ministry workers and Purists familys rocking out to the muggle band.

Daisy followed at the girls heels. the drinks were a little foreign to her. she didn’t normally drink, really only champagne at fancy parites so she had no idea what anything was. She felt a bit relieved when Theo picked something out for her. She took the cup and smiled brightly. “I’m sure anything you pick out would be loads better then if I had to do this myself. I’d probably pick something with tequila and I’m just not about that life.” She laughed before taking a sip. It actually went down pretty smoothly. “So what do you think of the ball so far? think we have a chance for peace?”

[mischievouspotter-blog]

James could not deny that the place looked quite grand when he entered in his burgundy suit and gold mask. The ministry was respectable in their intentions with having the ball but he wasn’t quite sure he believed one night of extravagance could solve the growing tension that had been brewing for a long time now. With a deep inhale James decided to leave that thought alone for now and just enjoy the night for what it was, making his way straight to the beverages. Maybe he could find Sirius or Remus in the crowd after grabbing himself a drink. “Oh, excuse me,” he said, dragged out of his thoughts as his shoulder collided into another. “Wasn’t paying attention.”

[daizandhooks]

The mask her mother had chosen for this particular night was itchy and hot. The red haired badger couldn’t wait for the moment she could take it off, though she wasn’t about to be the first one to remove her mask, even if it was uncomfortable and made drinking her champagne difficult. She didn’t seen the boy coming until he bumped into her. It wasn’t hard or malicious in anyway but the contact was enough of a shock that the delicate champagne flute slipped from her hands. Embarrassed her cheeks flushed bright red, a stark contrast to the ivory and lace of her mask. “Don’t worry about it. these things happen.” A soft smile spread across her lips, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly. “Though I would not object to getting another drink. Maybe from a cup that’s less breakable, I think I have proved I can not be trusted with glass.”

“It was a great show,” Theo smiled at the girl, clapping her hand on her wrist a couple of times. “I was tempted to join you - let’s go back next time a song like that comes on, yeah?” She didn’t want to pressure the girl, but she also didn’t want her to feel embarrassed for having a good time. Parties were about having a good time, not being scared about random people judging you. “In the mean time, wanna get a drink?”

Daisy tilted her face downward, the heat still rising to her cheeks. The compliment did little to quell the embarrassment she had felt. Though the idea of dancing again not alone helped a little. “If only they would play something with more of a beat.” She said with a shake of her head, a smile spreading across her lips at the thought of getting a drink raising her spirits. “Oh yes, hopefully we can find something alcoholic here.”

“You’re certainly welcome,” said Severus, his crooked teeth showing as he smiled. The rest of his face was hidden behind his silver mask as he glanced again at the exit, trying to think of a plan that might save them from this disaster of a party.

He looked to the girl again. “Well, I hope you got in all of your dancing, because I bet we can sneak out of here if you pretend you’re going to be sick,” he suggested, remembering those sketchy-looking shrimp he’d seen at one of the tables earlier. Surely the Aurors would let them go if this poor girl was about to projectile vomit, right? 

“Interested? What’s your name, anyway?”

Patience was something Daisy had heaps of, which was helpful as she watched and waited for the boy next to her come up with a plan. She kind of liked not knowing who she was talking to, no sides were drawn, he wasn’t scoffing for her not choosing a side or calling her a blood traitor. it was actually kind of nice.

“I was alone on the dance floor earlier. I think that experience will scar me enough that I may never want to dance again.” she admitted with a slight grimace. Daisy thought about what he said next, before nodding. “I think I can manage that. I could pretend to faint. Think you could hold up my weight?” she asked. She was pretty tiny, part of why she was such a good flyer, but she didn’t want to assume the boy could hold her up.

“No names, takes the fun out of things if I know who you are. You can call me...” She paused thoughtfully, not sure how the dark haired boy was going to take this. It was a bit fantastical but right up her alley. “psyche” it was cringey even to her but if she was going to dress like a greek goddess why not get some use out of it.

A grumble escaped Severus as he turned to see who had spoken to him, putting his jailbreak on hold for the time being. He couldn’t quite place the girl by her voice, as her mask obscured most of her defining details. Perhaps this was a friend of Dorcas’s…? If nothing else, she certainly seemed familiar.

“I’d take a hex right up my arsehole if it meant that I could leave this stupid party…” he huffed, crossing his arms over his chest and after brushing a few strands of hair from his face. Maybe this girl could help him ditch this joint? “Why? Do you want to get out of here too? I can’t stand feeling like those Aurors are listening to my conversations…”

Daisy’s nose scrunched though more out of reflex then anything else considering her smile did not budge. If anything it grew wider, shinning more brightly even among all these twinkling lights. “That is not an image I wanted burned into my brain but thanks for that.” She chaffed, lifting a hand to press her fingers to her temple only to remember her mask was in the way. It was so light and delicate that she almost forgot she was wearing it most the time. “As much as I normally love dancing in all it’s forms this is a farce and I want nothing to do with it.” She muttered, feeling a bit guilty for saying the words. A meeting for Peace wasn’t a bad idea, in fact Daisy was all for it. This just wasn’t the way to do it. “If you have an idea of how to get out of here, please take me with you.”

[daizandhooks]

Daisy had been weak to the twinkle of the lights and the face paced melody that rang through the halls. It wasn’t any music she would have played for herself but she still got lost in it. It wasn’t until the song change that she realized she was the only one dancing with eyes on her. Blushing bright red she brushed past a group, growing too hot under her horned mask. “Quite a show huh?” She said to no one in particular, making a joke at her own expense to feel a twinge less chagrined.

A  MASQUERADE  BALL  .  it  was  a  nice  distraction  ,  or  at  least  a  nice  attempt  of  a distraction  .  while  she  wanted  a  better  world  and  peace  ,  she  was  certain  silly  masks  and  a  fancy  ball  wasn’t  going  to  fix  it  .  still ,  she  attended  with  a  smile  , her  face  concealed  with  white  and  gold   .  distracted  by  everything  around  her  ,  she  wasn’t  paying  much  mind  to  where  she  was  going  ,  until  her  body  collided  with  someone  else  ,  the  drink  in  her  hand  crashing  to  the  floor  ,  spilling  over  both  of  their  shoes  .  “  oh  bloody  hell  ,  i’m  so  sorry !   ”  mary  quickly  apologized  .  “  i  really  hope  those  weren’t  your  favorite  shoes  or  anything.   ”

[daizandhooks]

For something thrown together for the sake of peace, the ministry really did not pull any punches. The room was beautifully decorated, dazzling and distracting. Despite growing up around magic Daisy still found herself in awe of its power and just how much magic there was out there that she didn’t know. Her eyes were glues on the floating orbs, illuminating the guests with ethereal light, only snapping out of her daze when a body crashed into her. She shook her head as the masked girl apologized. “It’s fine. these things happen.” She offered more worried about the hem of her dress then her shoes. One hand grasped the sea colored chiffon of her dress to inspect the damage. Nothing major was stained and even if it was it could be replaced. “These aren’t my favorite shoes. My favorite shoes are a pair of scruffy looking trainers, super comfortable but probably looked down at in this group...” She grinned sweetly, chancing a look around the room at everyone dressed in their finest. “I think we should probably get you another drink though.”
