。.✦ ☾ RITA SKEETER.

she nearly rolled her eyes as the girl continued with her questioning, having hoped she’d give up as soon as she revealed the cat had run off. “yes, yes. ginger with little white paws.” rita let out a thoughtful hum, eyebrows furrowing together as she tried to search her sleep-rattled mind for which direction the animal could’ve gone. “i think he went left. he didn’t seem to be in too much of a hurry.” she waited for a beat, and then, “shall i help you search? two eyes are better than one.”

there was an inkling of a thought in the back of her mind that made her hesitate before accepting the other’s offered help. did she really want to help? or was a simple polite offer meant to be declined? she hardly looked in the mood and she had spooked him only moments before. but she was also right, two eyes are better than one. emmy’s head tilted to the side ever so slightly as her eyes flickered over the other’s features. “are you sure you wouldn’t mind lending another pair of eyes? it would be helpful but—if you have somewhere else to be.”

。.✦ ☾ INNAMORATA. 

          with     a     faint     sigh     and     a     fluttering     heart     ,     the     puff     dreamily     watches     today’s     prospect     from     afar     .     he’s     a     ravenclaw     ;     of     average     height     ,     his    face     decorated     in     freckles     and     head     tousled     with     strawberry     -     blond     hair     .     the     staircase     beneath     her     begins     to     stray     away     ,     she     pouts     in     petulance     for     only     the     slightest     moment     .     “     he’s     quite     handsome     ,     isn’t     he     ?     “     she     chirps     ,     her     words     directed     to     no     one     in     particular     .

         fingers     brushed     at     the     hair     tickling     her     cheek     as     a     huffed     breath     escaped     her.     apparently     she     hadn’t     been     listening     to     a     word     she’d     been     saying.     maybe     they’d     been     bordering     on     unimportant,     but     still.     though     instead     of     dwelling     on     the     feeling     bubbling     in     her     chest,     emmy’s     eyes     turned     to     focus     upon     what     was     actually     capturing     innamorata’s     attention.     her     her     nose     scrunched     up     ever     so     slightly     as     eyes     settled     upon     a     ravenclaw     boy.     the     freckles     dotted     across     his     nose     were     endearing     but     she     couldn’t     say     he     was that handsome—     at     least     not     in     her     sense     of     the     world     handsome.     “     mmmm.     ”     she     started     as     her     head     tilted     to     the     side.     “     he’s     got     something     —     i     will     admit     that.     but     you     know,     looks     aren’t everything.     personality     is     really     the     only     teller.     which     you’re     not     going     to     be      able     to     tell     by     staring     at     him.    ”

。.✦ ☾ ELEONORA.

       “       i don’t know        ,       should  we  tell  her       ?       ”       her  piercing  turquoise  eyes  concentrated  on  the  ball  sitting  at  her  feet        ,       as  it  had  for  some  days  now        .       the  damned  thing  had  crept  into  the  dungeon  late  one  night       .       a  couple  of  eleventh  years  had  been  itching  to  try  a  new  hex  on  it       ,      but  years  of  tolerating  it  had  jogged  her  memory  in  time  to  claim  the  poor  thing        .       had  she  not       ,      well        ,      there  would  be  nothing  left  to  tell  emmy  except  a  sad  story       .      but  now  was  the  problem  of  how  to  return  it       .       if  she  invited  emmy  into  the  dungeon       - - -       a  hufflepuff       - - -        things  would  turn  out  worse  for  her  than  the  cat       .       and  she  wasn’t  a  fan  of  strolling  around  these  corridors  with  a  squirming       ,       shedding  animal       .       

       then  there  was  that         ,        a  friendship  that  slipped  through  the  cracks  by  mere  prejudice        .       she  had  no  one  to  blame  but  herself       ,      really      .        well       ,       herself  and  death  threats  from  the  mouth  of  her  dear       ,       sweet   mother        .       but  since  redeeming  herself  with  the  order       ,       eleanora  felt  there  were  things  to  be  taken  into  account       ,      one  of  them  being  those  that  deserved  an  apology       .       what  better  way  than  returning  a  lost  possession       ?       color  her  determined        ,       as  she  donned  her  immaculate  uniform  and  stole  out  the  door        ,        backtracking  only  to  cast  a  steely  glare  at  the  cat  stretching  along  her  silk  sheets       .       “       stay  where  you  are       .       i  can’t  promise  everyone’s  as  cordial  as  me        .        ”        

    - - -       fate  works  in  funny  ways  sometimes        .       here  she  was       ,      requesting  the  one  thing  that  only  she  could  provide       .        “      get  out  of  my  way       ,       badger        ,       ”       eleanora  snapped      ,       making  sure  that  as  her  shoulder  rammed  into  the  other’s        ,       their  hands  met  briefly        ,       planting  a  note  flawlessly  into  hers  and  sauntering  away      .

                                                                  owlery now.

      there     should     have     not     been     a     single     ounce     of     surprise     within     the     brunette.     why     would     she     of     all     people     be     willing     to help after     all?     she’d     after     all     had     so     easily     discarded     her     like     a     piece     of     paper     meant     from     the     rubbish     even     after     years     of     what     she’d     thought     was     friendship.     maybe     if     there     had     been     an     attempt     —     emmy     would     be     able     to     understand.     but     it     was     if     one     day     emmy     was     considered     a     friend     and     the     next     ?     emmy     who     ?     emmy     had     lost     many     people     she     considered     a     friend     after     the     sorting     house     had     exclaimed     ‘     hufflepuff     !     ’     clear     and     true,     but she’d     never     been     able     to     understand     how     it     had     been     so easy for     eleonora     to     act     if     they     weren’t     once     close.

      but     still     the     clipped     shoulder     and     brush     off     not     only     caused     her     to     lose     her     footing,     but     also a     crease     to     form     between     her     brows.     maybe     she     could     have     allowed     her     eyes     to     turn     to     focus     upon     eleonora’s     receding     figure,     but     emmy     stayed     frozen.     her     eyes     glued     to     the     ground     just     a     few     inches     from     the     tips     of     her     toes.     always     just     a     badger.

     it     took     her     a     few     minutes     to     finally     process     the     edges     of     paper     that     brushed     against     her     palm     and     though     the     clipped     shoulder     and     snapped     words     had     shocked     her.     a     piece     of     paper     brought     more     shock     than     anything     else.     slowly,     her     fingers     unfolded     the     paper     to     reveal     the     two     words.

                                                owlery     now.

     fingers     tightened     around     the     paper,     crumpling     it     easily,     as     finally     she     turned. searching for     any     sign     of     the     old     friend,     but     all     that     remained     of     her     was     the     piece     of     paper.     emmy     had     no     clue     what     it     was     entailing     to     and     half     of     her     wasn’t     even     sure     she     should     venture     up     to     the     owlery.     not     only     because     she     didn’t     know     what     was     waiting     for     her,     but     also     because     she     didn’t     owe     eleonora     anything.     however,     there     was     no     denying     there     was     a     pull.     an     urge     to     find     out     what     she     wanted     after     all     of     these     years;     and     before     emmy     could     second     guess     her     decision,     her     feet     had     started     off     down     the     hall.

    slowly,     emmy     took     step     by     step     up     to     the     owlery.     carefully     attuning     her     ears     to     any     hint     of     human     sounds     coming     from     within.     but     as     she     neared,     only     the     hooting     of     owls     and     the     beating     of     disembarking     owl’s     wings     greeted     her.     clearing     her     throat,     she     spoke     as     she     poked     her     head     through     the     entrance.

    “     hello     ?     ”

。.✦ ☾ PETER PETTIGREW.

peter knew he needed to start paying more attention to his surroundings while roaming the castle. case in point, after skipping the corridors he was meant to make a turn on several times that day, he also bumped into emmy devereux as she came to a sudden halt in front of him. peter lost his balance for a moment, but was quick to regain it before collapsing on the ground ( that would have been so embarrassing ). he made sure all his belonging where still on his arm.

‘ crap i’m so sorry for that. you okay, right? ’ with a shrug of his shoulder, he readjusted a book that threatened to fall. despite her friendly smile, emmy looked rather frantic, as she fidgeted with her sleeve. ‘ what is it with cats and always running away? i could never understand them. ’  they didn’t seem to understand him either, he thought, even though he’d spend hours and hours of playing chase with them as a rat. hell, he even entertained the idea of having played with tiberius as well, but that was a story for another time. ‘ uh, i’ve heard that they fancy observing and hissing at the owls in the owlery. have you checked there? i’m, ’ he recovered a letter from his back pocket and held it up, ‘ actually going there myself. ’

hands rose quickly in aid towards the other just in case some of the other’s belongings were jostled out from his arms or, god forbid, he was the one to end up on the floor. not that emmy imagined she’d be much help if he had started to collapse—she’d most likely end up down there along with him. she should really be a little bit more careful. but as books settled calmly in arms once more, there really was no harm done, right? that however, didn’t stop her from waving off the other’s offer of apology with a flick of her wrist. ‘ me? i’m fine. you’re the one that would have ended up on the ground covered in books. i should be the sorry one—which i am. ’ 

rambling words of apology were halted however as the offer of the owlery as a possible place to locate a certain ginger cat was given. why hadn’t she thought of that? it seemed like such an obvious place to look as soon as it had left peter’s mouth but alas, she’d never once thought about it. her lips parted as her eyes drifted in the vague direction of the owlery, ‘ of course! talk about obvious. ’ the words were muttered under breath before eyes lightened as they focused back upon peter,  ‘ if it’s not too much trouble, would you mind checking for him? or— ’ words hesitated for a moment. the last thing she wanted to do was trail along behind him in case he wanted a little peace, but if he was up there—she didn’t want to risk him disappearing once more leaving her back where she started. ‘ if you don’t mind, is it alright if i tag along with you? four eyes are better than two after all. ’

               ANNOYANCE   WAS   PAINTED   CLEARLY     over   darkened   features   as   delicate   hands   (   though   weathered   from   quidditch   )    went   up   to   cross   over   her   chest     .     emma   did   not   take   lightly   to   students   getting   in   her   way     ,     let   alone   bothering   her   with   trivial   problems   such   as   a   house   pet     .     ❛     please   tell   me   you   aren’t   serious     ?     have   you   not   trained   it   to   behave     ?     ❜     there   was   a   scoff   that   fell   off   her   lips     .     yes   ,   she  was  judging     .     emma   vanity   was   as   arrogant   as   they   came   especially   in   the   public   eye     .     she   couldn’t   risk   her   housemates   thinking   she   went   soft   ,   now   could   she     ?     the   answer   was   no     .     giving   the   hufflepuff   a   quick   look   over     ,     disgust   being   forced   through   ink   hues     ,     emma   shook   her   head     .     she   didn’t   enjoy   being   cruel     ,     but   appearances   were   appearances     .     ❛     seriously   ‘puff     ,     can   you   be   any   less   daft     ?     ❜    

              IT   WAS   A   FEAT,   TO   SAY   THE   LEAST,     to   keep   the   soft   smile   upon   her   lips   from   faltering   at   the   words   that   spilled   from   between   the   dark   haired   girl’s   lips.   harsh   words   paired   with   darkened   eyes   were   not   something   emmy   was   new   to.   but   no   matter   how   accustomed to   it   she   was,   it   was   never   easy   to   try   and   ignore   the   disdain   that   was   evident   upon   another’s   features;   and   though   the   curve   of   her   lips   did   not   falter,   a   tightness   appeared   in   the   corner   of   her   lips   as   her   hands   fell   to   her   sides.   nails   digging   into   the   skin   of   her   palms.   ❛     i   don’t   know   if   you’ve   ever   attempted   to   train   a   cat,   emma,   but   it’s   a   little   tricky.    doable   but   tricky.     ❜   she   was   careful   to   keep   her   words   light   as   she   took   in   a   small   breath. ❛they   have   quite   a   mind   of   their   own   after   all.❜   the   main   reason   why   she   loved   the   furry   little   creatures   the   most,   at   least   out   of   the   more   muggle   friendly   category.   ❛     he’s   usually   quite   well   mannered   though.     ❜  it’s   probably   exactly   why   you   haven’t   stumbled   upon   him.   the   words   wanted   to   escape   from   her   lips,   but   instead   she   gestured   vaguely down   the   hall,    ❛     safe   to   assume   he’s   not   down   there   then.     ❜

。.✦ ☾ RITA SKEETER.

it had been a dreadful morning ; rita could feel bags under her eyes start to form from the terrible sleep she’d had. she staggered through the halls like an undead creature, slightly hunched forward & eyes droopy. it’s like this, at her most pathetic, leaning against a wall with her eyes closed & about to take a nap right there when the creature sets its sights upon her — she hears a quiet meow, eyes opening to see a ginger cat staring at her. she hisses at it & the thing leaves, frightened, while rita is content to have the hall all to herself again.

and then the girl appears only a few minutes later, far too loud for whatever hour it was. she was about to tell her off when the mention of the cat made her pause. “why, a little kitten did try to disturb my morning rest.” she hummed. “but i scared it off. no idea where its run off to now.”

odd. it was the first word to spring to mind as the other spoke. how odd it was that one would chose to spook an animal rather than attempt to lure it closer—not that she imagined tibers needed much luring, the cat could attach itself to anyone that would have him. but that was hardly the point. she’d never understand some people’s dislike for animal kind. 

emmy’s lips parted as her eyes diverted from the dark haired girl to flicker over the otherwise empty hall, attempting to spot the creature in question. he couldn’t be too far could he? turning her attention back to rita, her weight shifted between feet. “ was it a ginger ? with little white paws ? you wouldn’t have any clue in which direction he ran ? left ? right ? ”

[dcvereux]

           he was always there. he was always curled up upon one of the cushions bathed in the morning sun whenever emmy finally managed to drag herself out of bed. but as her eyes had settled upon the cushion it was empty. no ginger cat was found purring contently. maybe if it have been one time, emmy would have written it off but he hadn’t been there for the last few mornings. she knew he was most likely gallivanting around the castle—hogwarts was his favourite place after all—but she knew she wouldn’t stop fretting until she caught even a glimpse of ginger fur. 

           “ tibers—tibers——tibers. ” the repeated name fell from her lips as she moved down one of the many corridors. pausing at every bench to search underneath, but each time coming up empty. as she rose from her most recent crouched position, her fingers came to brush a strand of loose hair from her face as a huffed breath escaped her lips. “tiberius devereux, you’re going to have a strong talking to when i finally find you.” words were muttered under breath before she took a pause as a figure came into view. without even a second thought, she stepped in front of their path as they moved closer, “ excuse me! ”a soft smile spreading across her lips, as her hands pulled at the hem of her jumper’s sleeve. “ you haven’t seen a ginger cat around anywhere have you ? he’s been missing for a few days now and it’s getting a bit worrying. ”

* ╰    VICTORIA PEDRETTI┋have you met CLÉMENCE “EMMY” DEVEREUX ? she reminds me of a single star peeking through a cloudy sky, hesitant soft touches, a delicate golden pendant rested upon prominent collar bones, messy beds covered with half read books, windswept daisies dotted throughout a green meadow, soft velvet  bows securing wild hair,  stormy white capped seas,  internal battles that seem never ending  &  smiles hidden behind fingers. a  twenty year old ninth year hufflepuff, the intangible concept is known to be compassionate & observant, yet skeptical & reticent. that explains why they’re majoring in care of magical creatures. rumour has it, emmy is siding with the neutrals in the solemn war that blazes just beyond the horizon. 

hey, hi, hello!!! i’m bronny, i’m 22 and from new zealand ( probably one of the worst timezones but ) and i’m so excited to be here?? i’ve missed playing my daughter emmy (also goes by clém but it’s mostly her family that calls her that, they ain’t a fan of the name emmy ) and i’m so happy to be here and writing her again!!!

anyway, you’re probably not here to listen to me rambling. you’re here for my smol slytherin turned hufflepuff kiddo. i won’t list everything here though because i have a full about page for her here with a bio up ( RIGHT HERE ) that has everything you need to know about her and even though it’s long it’ll really help you understand her!!

extras: this edit is really all that matters!!! there’s also a spotify playlist but you may need to @ me for that if you want to hear it bc i’m pretty sure last time i linked it on tumblr i got hacked, rip.

BUT I’LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO HER PERSONALITY RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW:

basically she appears to be a very optimistic and positive and lowkey just like a lil ray of sunshine and for the most part it’s who she is?? only wants the best for people and tries her hardest to not judge no matter where the person comes from or who they are??  but underneath it all she’s actually quite a conflicted and lost person??  

she’s grown up in a family that is somehow the complete opposite of her and even if she’s tried to keep a hold of who she is or at least who she wants to be, there’s no denying that there is a part of her that fits in with her family and it does come out every now and again bc listen….even if her parents love her, there’s no denying that they attempted to try and drag the more ‘slytherin’ side of her out more whenever they got the chance bc they can’t help but think she’s weak??

but when she’s upset or angry, the harder/darker side of her comes out?? she can almost do a 180 on her whole personality if something pushes her a little too far, like the light you can probably see in her features just switches off and she gets this darkness to her and will do and say whatever she needs to get herself out of the situation and she lowkey hates it. which is why she prefers to try and keep her emotions at bay the majority of time?? she kind of just needs to learn to figure out how to use that darker side of her for something good??  bc even though she feels as if she’s a true hufflepuff ( even if she still has her moments bc how can i be a hufflepuff when i have this darker side of me that would do anything to survive ), all her life she’s been brought up in a household full of slytherin’s and it’s all she’s known and quite a few of the most important people in her life are slytherin’s and all are death eaters/followers of voldemort and it pulls her bc…she’s loyal to a fault but she knows deep down she doesn’t agree with anything her family does but if she leaves them, it means she loses her family and she’s not sure if she’d be able to handle that??

basically voldemort rising and her family returning to his side makes it feel like her worst nightmare is coming true!!!! because she knows one day she’ll ended up having to decide between either the life she’d created for herself at hogwarts and abandon her family or chose her family and abandon her friends and possibly even who she truly is?? help her SHE’S JUST A TERRIFIED AND LOST KID, HELP HER BEFORE SHE DOES SOMETHING IDIOTIC ( someone just convince her to pick a side honestly ).

majoring in magizoology ( i’m just an idiot who put care of magical creatures instead of magizoology on her app ) which her parents aren’t the FONDEST of, they’d prefer if she was majoring in literally anything else and they haven’t been afraid of speaking their minds about it, but it was the first time she put her foot down for something she WANTED and she hasn’t been happier.

currently one of the neutrals but who knows what’s going to happen!!

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

any of the plots below can be expanded on or changed slightly!! so feel free to use them as a guide and we talk out any changes you’d possibly like to make!!

we come from the same side, i know you; it's always been the two of them. they were the shining light during the family gatherings and events growing up for emmy. they were the one person she could always count on no matter what and no matter how different they may appear at times they brought out the best in each other. the day emmy was sorted into hufflepuff, and them in slytherin, was something she'd been hoping and praying wouldn't happen—they were meant to be her rock and her theirs and as time went on, emmy always expected them to pull away from her like many had. but they never did. they'd always known she was different to many slytherins before they were even officially slytherins, nothing had changed for them and emmy couldn't be anymore grateful for them sticking by her side. losing them would have to be one of her worst nightmares, especially since danger has been brewing. they're the only person that truly knows her and she’d do anything for them no matter what. ( open to a slytherin )

offended that I walk the line; for all emmy’s life, they’ve been there by her side. maybe it was their families that first put them in front of each other but for the first 14 years of their lives they were deemed best friends. but the day emmy was sorted into hufflepuff was the day they began to lose each other. though emmy desperately tried to keep their friendship, it was impossible for them to wrap their heads around the fact emmy was a hufflepuff and beginning to show qualities they’d been taught to never display. with every passing year, emmy drifted further and further away from the life they were both meant to be mixed up in. it was obvious to them that emmy no longer held the same beliefs they and their families had and it’s a struggle for both of them to accept the fact that they no longer stand on the same side. ( open to a pureblood and/or slytherin )    

to help me see myself clearer; meeting them was the first step in emmy slowly beginning to turn away from everything she knows. all her life she’d been taught to be one thing, act in a certain way. but meeting them made her rethink everything. they showed her that the way she was wired, the way she was different to her family, was okay. who she was, was okay. though in return, emmy showed them that the world wasn’t just black and white. she came from a world full of darkness but she still managed to let the light in. they both taught each other something they never thought was possible, nothing is straight forward. ( open to anyone but a slytherin )

so I wait at the gates of your fortress; they are the one person that showed her what it’s like to feel loved and truly cared about. they are the most important person in her life but emmy can’t even begin to think about getting them mixed up in the nightmare that is her family. she’s done everything in her power to keep them away from her family but as the threat and danger grows emmy wanted them nowhere near the world she may eventually be dragged into when the time comes to make a decision. after a year or so of dating, emmy broke things off. she left a lot of things unsaid and hardly gave them an explanation about why she was breaking up with them. all she gave them was a “it’s for the better, trust me, you deserve so much more than what I can give you,” as she left them standing by the great lake. but she couldn’t let them go completely, they’ve stayed friends but it’s almost impossible for them to be in the same room. it’s clear the two still love each other but emmy refuses to let them put themselves in the line of fire. ( open to anyone but a slytherin and/or a pureblood )  

Emmy’s looser plot ideas can be found here!!

i’m all for plotting, so if you’re interested in any of the above plots or the looser plots on her connections page, just let me know by im-ing me ( i’m the worst, please don’t be afraid to do so, i’ll love you ) or giving this a little like!! i want to attempt to plot with you all!!! i also have discord, so if you’d rather plot there i’m up for that as well

i’m also in the process of developing another muse ( caoimhe “kiv” walsh , a northern irelander muggleborn, gryffindor order member ) but i’m making/waiting to see if anyone makes resources for the fc ( emma mackey ) i have in mind for her before i bring her on in officially!! if you’d like to know more about her...i....won’t pass up the chance to talk about my new emerging kid.

i think that’s enough rambling for now, i can’t wait to get started and write with you all and bring emmy to life again :’)

( p.s. i forgot to add, if anyone would rather plot on dis.cord, my # is bronny#0752 !! )

What do you do when you’re in one place, but the people you care most about in the world are in another ?  

How do you choose between them without  d e s t r o y i n g a part of yourself ?

She apologized all the time, as if it was a habit; but you could see it in her eyes that she meant it. Every apology was sincere. She was sorry for the way the world worked. She was sorry for everything.
