The pair of large wooden doors creek open as Cooper enters the library. He quickly scans the room, spotting a familiar mop of dittany green hair. He waves to them and approaches, greeting his friend.
“Hey there Jordan! It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other face to face, I’ve missed you.”
"Ah... hey."
Is it just them, or did the air just feel tighter just from knowing he's looking at their nervous face?
"Glad to see you made it," they croak out, clutching the envelope in their scarred hand. "The library is... certainly more your speed, huh?"
This isn't going to get any easier. He looks so happy seeing them, too - and the gnawing guilt in their heart says hi again. He looks so happy seeing you and all you did last week was rot under the covers like a cadaver.
You ought to join him.
"So what are we catching up on?" they offer. "In fact - what's happened on your side since you last showed up? I hope it's more interesting than what I got," they add jokingly.
“Aha,” Cooper turns his eyes away from Jordan, “Interesting… is one way to describe it, hah…”
Cooper makes a bit of a face at that question. Jordan was already familiar with his family and their— circumstances, but he feels that airing out their current grievances would have to come another day.
He cracks a smile and exhales short puffs of laughter, “It’s a bit of a long story, maybe another time?”
The pair find themselves an empty set of chairs and sit down, a certain— awkwardness hangs in the air.
Cooper clears his throat,
“Ahem, so, what did I miss while I was away? A blue fire in the forest?”
Cooper turns his gaze back to Jordan, a smile still strings his lips, but it wavers when he sees the expression on their face.
They couldn't even meet his eyes as they murmur their response.
"Y-Yeah, about that circle of blue fire..." Their nervous chuckle quickly dies out into a shaky sigh. "It was - it was big. The whole side of the castle facing the Forest, they saw it. They couldn't see who it was, though."
Or who became "was".
"There's been lots of rumors recently," they manage, rubbing their tired face. "About what the blue fire was, first of all, since they didn't see the dam - if there was damage," they hastily amend, "and - and if anything happened before or after it. Aside from a bunch of people running around under the trees, but no one saw any faces..."
They blink fast. As if there's something in their eye, or the library light burning images into their vision.
Hey isn’t that… yeah with the green hair… in the forest… Wait that’s also… together..? The fire…. Really? The fire… I saw… scary… think..? No… so blue… yes…. He’s also… Prude… Saw him… really..?
“Jordan..?”
Really… You don’t think… who would have guessed..? The fire… The fire…. Blazing… Pureblood… better than us… the fire…. Blue… Magnum…. How could this have… such a shame… scary…
But you don't think... really?... no, but I thought... and I thought that they...
They're not... Merlin, no, you don't mean that!... and I trusted... can't there be... should've thought better...
Should've... done...
I should've done...
Shit.
This can't be right. Their eyes flit down back to Cooper - and it's his worried expression that snaps them out, the shadows melting back into the bookshelves as they get up, their chair screeching backward.
"Come on, Coops."
"This isn't the best place to tell each other everything."
Cooper is dragged behind Jordan, their footsteps clatter as they descend the steps of the Grand Stairwell and leave the library behind. Cooper’s mind is racing as he tries to understand what happened; were people whispering about.. them? About Him? Jordan? He can tell something is wrong, dearly wrong, about the fire— about everything, but Jordan hadn’t given him any clear answers.
“Huh? Wait— Jordan tell me what’s going on- where are we going??”
"Some other place where people won't care enough to surround us!" they mutter back to him, hair whipping back in their hurried pace. "People talk about us and what we did enough - but let me talk to you about what really happened, bloody hell!
“Alright but just— slow down for a second, we don’t have to go far—“
Cooper quickens his pace to catch up to Jordan,
“I have an idea,”
Jordan slows their pace and the two come to a more relaxed stride. Jordan, still fuming from the library, lightly cocks a brow at him.
“Alright, let’s hear it then.”
Cooper turns his gaze to an unsuspecting broom closet and Jordan’s eyes follow.
“…Really..???”
“Well, we’re guaranteed to not be surrounded?”
"Because we're surrounded by walls. Sure."
Cooper frowns, “It’s not like we have much of a choice. I’d suggest my dorm, but Felix is currently using it as a meeting spot for his band— not that it would be easy to sneak you in anyhow.”
A gruff sigh. "Okay, but if anyone catches us coming out and I hear one bit about sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, I'm not shouldering that shit alone. Come on."
Their grip on his arm is a bit too rough as they drag him into the broom closet, snagging their foot at the corner to swing it closed behind them.
. . . . . The dusty darkness inside the cabinet claws at Jordan's throat, but they clear it as quietly as they could as they station themself in front of Cooper, as cramped as they are in its shadowed walls. Can the castle go so far as to clamp them and regurgitate them back out into the hallway like a bloke with his phlegm? Hopefully not.
"Okay. We good? Now listen."
"What I'm about to tell you about those blue fires isn't something just anyone knows, okay?" they hiss. "And if that git hears me talking about this to you, he'll probably take it as some ammunition to say I'm even more troubled than I show and try to drag me into that support group - if it even is one!"
“Wait wait— so the fire- the missing raven claw- the group I’ve been hearing of- all these rumors that have have been tossed around— there’s some truth to them?”
Cooper missed so much, it felt like his head was spinning. Support group? Git? Something that Jordan knows about the fire that no one’s else does.
“Start from the beginning, what happened?”
"Well, if you want it from the beginning," Jordan's gaze steels as they look right into Cooper's eyes, "tell me first if I could trust your judgment after I drop this bombshell on you."
"What's... what's a bombshell?"
Jordan sighs. "Never mind. Point is - can I trust you with the truth? Everything about that fire?"
"I thought that's why we're talking about this," Cooper replies, bright blue eyes helpless in the dark room. "I wanted to catch up just with you, but if I have a lot more to hear - tell me, Jordan, please. Tell me what's on your mind."
"So I can."
"You can."
"... Okay."
A deep breath in, and a heavy one out. Another one, and yet another, each breath more parched than the last as if smoke has filled their lungs and mind.
"Cooper... I made that fire."
“What—?”
“But why would you…”
"I didn't want it to happen!" they cut in, voice sharp but brittle. "I didn't know I had it in me - and he - they wanted to hurt us! I thought it was just going to be some other benign bullshit, that Muriel bloke made it sound like so, but then the Ravenclaw came with buddies and..."
"I thought he'd be over it after that duel challenge letter. After I'd defeated him over and over, but... Daniel still has bruises from that trip to the Forest."
And I still have scorches in my mind.

Is it just them, or did the air just feel tighter just from knowing he's looking at their nervous face?
"Glad to see you made it," they croak out, clutching the envelope in their scarred hand. "The library is... certainly more your speed, huh?"
This isn't going to get any easier. He looks so happy seeing them, too - and the gnawing guilt in their heart says hi again. He looks so happy seeing you and all you did last week was rot under the covers like a cadaver.
You ought to join him.
"So what are we catching up on?" they offer. "In fact - what's happened on your side since you last showed up? I hope it's more interesting than what I got," they add jokingly.
“Aha,” Cooper turns his eyes away from Jordan, “Interesting… is one way to describe it, hah…”
Cooper makes a bit of a face at that question. Jordan was already familiar with his family and their— circumstances, but he feels that airing out their current grievances would have to come another day.
He cracks a smile and exhales short puffs of laughter, “It’s a bit of a long story, maybe another time?”
The pair find themselves an empty set of chairs and sit down, a certain— awkwardness hangs in the air.
Cooper clears his throat,
“Ahem, so, what did I miss while I was away? A blue fire in the forest?”
Cooper turns his gaze back to Jordan, a smile still strings his lips, but it wavers when he sees the expression on their face.
They couldn't even meet his eyes as they murmur their response.
"Y-Yeah, about that circle of blue fire..." Their nervous chuckle quickly dies out into a shaky sigh. "It was - it was big. The whole side of the castle facing the Forest, they saw it. They couldn't see who it was, though."
Or who became "was".
"There's been lots of rumors recently," they manage, rubbing their tired face. "About what the blue fire was, first of all, since they didn't see the dam - if there was damage," they hastily amend, "and - and if anything happened before or after it. Aside from a bunch of people running around under the trees, but no one saw any faces..."
They blink fast. As if there's something in their eye, or the library light burning images into their vision.
Hey isn’t that… yeah with the green hair… in the forest… Wait that’s also… together..? The fire…. Really? The fire… I saw… scary… think..? No… so blue… yes…. He’s also… Prude… Saw him… really..?
“Jordan..?”
Really… You don’t think… who would have guessed..? The fire… The fire…. Blazing… Pureblood… better than us… the fire…. Blue… Magnum…. How could this have… such a shame… scary…
But you don't think... really?... no, but I thought... and I thought that they...
They're not... Merlin, no, you don't mean that!... and I trusted... can't there be... should've thought better...
Should've... done...
I should've done...

The pair of large wooden doors creek open as Cooper enters the library. He quickly scans the room, spotting a familiar mop of dittany green hair. He waves to them and approaches, greeting his friend.

Hello Jordan,
My break was good! I feel well rested, if a bit groggy, it’s as if I’ve been asleep for a while (even though I’ve been awake this whole time, aha). You’re going to have to catch me up on what I’ve missed, I’ve been hearing wind of many developments. We should arrange a hang out in the library some time.
Thank you as usual for the cauldron cakes, they arrived safely and delicious.
Sincerely,
- Cooper D.M.M.
Cooper,
Yeah! I think we can set up a little get-together sometime. In the library, by the courtyard - ooh, maybe by the lake? No? I'm probably pushing my luck there, sorry.
And maybe I'll tell you more about these... "developments", at a better time. Some time when I'd feel better speaking about them, and especially not when writing about them just makes me think of how chaotic these past events have been.
I'm going to look forward to seeing you and the rest of our friends in a more friendly setting, I think I --
[The clack of their pen precedes the heavy sigh that escapes their mouth.]
[But there's no use just moping about things now.]
-- would need a good break after everything. Maybe get you acquainted with why people have been gossiping about some big blue fire from the Forest recently.
I missed you.
Sincerely, -- Jordan B.
when i was in fourth year, somewhere between the start of the school year and having daniel find me punching mirrors in the castle storage, i took a walk down hogsmeade. i don't quite remember why.
just plain clearing my head, maybe? it does sound like something i'd do, and back then, i had a lot in my head i wanted to clear. wipe out and wish it didn't exist. not exactly the kind of stuff i'd like to say here, and besides, it's not the point of this post.
somewhere down the line i met this lady. or, rather... the happy calls from the sidelines made me meet this lady.
well, she definitely looked well-off. stood out from the crowd with a clean-cut look that still made her look like she could easily have been someone's caring mother. i couldn't even help but walk just behind her like a duckling.
that was probably my mistake.
"Yes, my sweet?"
"Um."
i choked on my own spit - she smiled so sweetly that i felt guilty.
"No, it's nothing, miss. It's just that, I'd never seen you before, and - and I began coming around here last year."
"No, no, I'm sorry I made you nervous. Coming here was hard then thanks to, mm... I heard of a certain rabblerouser making rounds and scaring some of my good friends away?"
"Ah, yes, that, um... you must have a lot of friends."
"Oh, friends all over, I can say, but you can never have enough - you never know if you need to rely on them, yes?"
when she asked that, faking an agreement left a taste in my mouth so bitter, i immediately thought of dad's oversteeped tea. i thought i was crazy, but she seemed to have seen my face, because then she stepped closer to have a look at me.
"Now that I thought about it, I don't think we have met. You look like a Hogwarts student, yes? My son is in his fourth year."
"Ah, me too. Well, aside the fact that I, um, couldn't... seem to act like one."
"Trouble with studies? Self-study not doing you well?"
"Trouble with... the self. Really."
"The self?"
"Really..."
in hindsight, that was an even bigger mistake.
"If you don't mind me saying this, which I hope does not step over any boundaries - down this road I'm walking on stands a neighbouring village, where I live and work. My son comes home at least once every weekend to see me and to help around, so I simply would like to offer you a space where you may feel well enough to study and not feel alone - if that's what you need."
it was hearing that that loosened up the twines around my throat, and i was speaking with some newfound wonder.
"Really?"
"Or simply, a place to be. Everyone needs one, don't they?"
a place to be safe, where maybe clearing my head would be as easy and easy to lose myself into as cleaning my dormitory room, well... who wouldn't like that? but it wasn't a place i was just going to go to - it sounded far. it isn't, in reality, but that was my first thought. i bowed to her apologetically.
"Thank you for the offer, but... it's quite the distance from Hogwarts, isn't it?"
"That is true. Oh, but perhaps you can look for my son and he can help you when you have a looser schedule. I sincerely do not mind people in my home - there are many others in it, after all."
many...?
"And your son's name, Miss?
and her eyes twinkled.
"Muriel Goshenite. Please mention his mother Vira to him if you consider."
so hi.
it's been weeks since that challenge letter, i know. i actually wanted to avoid talking about it, and that should help explain my... er, long absence, from this place. but i don't think i can avoid it now.
i had to get things sorted out with the headmistress after i B28(#+3U#!$+_R82(4N72+3E73+4D-3+4H;$(#$$I×`×€=€($M+2(@+$+ and then the usual homework loads. i hadn't been sleeping much since, but it's fine, it's not the first. (nor will it be the last)
not sure if everyone saw that thing, and i just hope this doesn't give us too much bs to deal with in the future. in the meantime, after all that, someone started approaching me more often. you know who you are. you disappeared the moment we arrived. and next thing i knew that godforsaken 4@#)$($9jsnd@(#1(@+$2($}|15×~{€{jsd12iUwJD9#(#3@($+KE1// was around my feet and i can't bring those goddamn ashes back into a body can i stoptellingmeaboutyourstupidsipportgroupIKNOWYOUHADSOMETHINGTODOWITHIT.
i think i need tea
Jordan are you okay?!
yes.
sooooo that lake lesson. i am writing this as i watch daniel make an even bigger mess on his table after trying to dry his hair with the hot air charm.
im not about to take back what i said, GRINDYLOW i confuse so often with GRINDELWALD. just cuz i read a few books about his deeds, my brain decided it was worth sticking to during the wrong bloody class!
i wish i could forget him now.
