“Me? Never,” he replied. Evan kept his gaze down, jaw clenching at the small touch. It produced an ache, one that he was determined to forget about. Determined to keep hidden so far beneath the surface that it would soon become irrelevant. “Maybe that’s the point, Araminta. Are you too daft to take a hint?” 

♕ – — She let her knee linger there against his, feeling heat blossom in her cheeks from the slightest touch. But, as usual, his words came out biting and cruel. Her clear blue eyes flamed with annoyance, but underneath that was the colder undertone of hurt. “Well,” she snapped, “your hints do often send mixed signals.” She stood, breaking the small amount of contact between them, “but if that’s what you really want then fine. But may I remind you,” she leaned forward, the challenge clear in her gaze, her voice lowered, “you kissed me first.”

♕ – — Araminta Valentine, daughter of Freyja Norse Goddess of Love, Lust, Battle, Witchcraft and Beauty.

Hail Freyja, Vanadis, I ask for protection, Under your falcon wings And war-maiden’s shield. Help me to make peace among my enemies. Give me the courage to fight again For if I am battle-slain in truth May my actions be worthy of your choosing.

Hail Seidhkona, Holder of Magic and Keeper of Mysteries. Teach me to see the magic in all things. Help me to move between the veil, Allow me to walk among the worlds. May I glimpse in your forge of dreams By Seidhr rune-wise and true as words from your tongue.

“Do you think dear Sluggy would be offended if I wore robes better than his to his own party?” Gwenog mused, looking over at the other. “I mean, I don’t think it’ll be too hard to accomplish, but… He is the host.”

♕ – — Araminta pursed her lips, glancing over at the other person. “I think I would be offended if you didn’t wear robes better than his to his party,” she said with a small smile, “he’s sweet enough but the man has never had the best fashion sense. You should definitely outshine him.”

She’d heard that far too many times lately. “It already has, and yet I still do it. I believe that everyone needs help at times and I guess I’m not afraid enough of certain people to lend a hand, or a shoulder, or a bandage.” She nodded, noting the girl’s curiosity peaking. “I don’t remember doing anything scandalous, so being told there’s a target on my back was… a surprise, to say the least. Although I’m not exactly quiet about my beliefs.”

♕ – — “Well then, you’re either incredibly brave, or incredibly naive,” Araminta teased, tilted her cup of tea towards the girl, “perhaps you should have been a Gryffindor.” She pursed her lips slightly at the mention of a target, “well, I think everyone who’s like us has a bit of a target on their back at the moment, don’t they?” If anything, she and Harriet were united by sheer virtue of their blood, “I wouldn’t worry about it, I’m sure everyone has much bigger things to worry about.”

“Avoiding you?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. “Now why would I waste my energy on something so idiotic.”

♕ – — Araminta shrugged innocently, “you have been known to do idiotic things every now and then.” She gave him a knowing look, her leg bumping subtly against his beneath the table. The library was empty enough that she felt somewhat hidden, tucked away among the bookshelves. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in weeks,” she commented, not quite meeting his eyes, trying to act as if it didn’t make her heart twist, the thought that he’d been ignoring her.

♕ – — jimi·:

Jimi grinned, waggling her eyebrows. “Aw come on, ya’ can’t say that thing wasn’t entertainin’, it’s kinda cute how she thinks anyone gives a shit about what she saw, eh?” It didn’t bother her in the slightest that her own proclivities were mentioned in the writing. Jimi snogging someone was hardly front page news. “Don’t you worry yourself none though lass, I just needed a place to sit while I poke holes in pics for some new necklaces.” Jimi set down a small screwdriver and a handful of guitar pics. “Can make you one if ya’ like.”

♕ – — “She thinks that because most of the school does give a shit about what she writes,” Araminta said with a roll of her eyes, “everyone loves knowing the gossip, no matter how much they deny it.” She sipped at her coffee, watching what the girl was doing with muted interest, giving her a polite smile at the offer. “Ah, oh no thank you,” she cleared her throat, “I’m not particularly fond of necklaces.” It wasn’t completely a lie, she was very particular about the necklaces she did wear, and they certainly didn’t have guitar pics on them. “You go ahead though, don’t let me distract you.”

The opportunity to help sparked something within Harriet and her eyes widened, “That’s understandable. Although, if you do need help next time, come find me and I’ll see if I can ease your pain, alright?” She gave the girl a genuine smile, although it faltered a little at the mention of what she’d spent her evening doing. “Ah. Well, it definitely wasn’t how I expected the night to go. I’ve been warned to keep my head down, actually.”

♕ – — She arched a brow at the girl, a bemused smile settling on her lips, “you offer help far too easily Harriet, you should be careful, one day it might get you into trouble.” There were far too many people in the world looking to take advantage of a kind soul. “Oh really?” She said, the other girl’s comments piquing her interest momentarily, “it’s hard to imagine you doing anything scandalous, no offence.”

♕ – — task 13, pairing lyrics Araminta Valentine & Evan Rosier @pointlessresistxnce​ Better Love - Hozier

I once kneeled in shaking thrill I chase the memory of it still, of every chill Chided by that silence of a hush sublime Blind to the purpose of the brute divine But you were mine Staring in the blackness at some distant star The thrill of knowing how alone we are, unknown we are To the wild and to the both of us I confessed the longing I was dreaming of

Some better love, but there's no better love Beckons above me and there's no better love That ever has loved me, there's no better love Darling, feel better love Feel better love

And I've never loved a darker blue Than the darkness I have known in you, own from you You, whose heart would sing of anarchy You would laugh at meanings, guarantees, so beautifully When our truth is burned from history By those who figured justice in fond memory, witness me Like fire weeping from a cedar tree Know that my love would burn with me We'll live eternally

'Cause there's no better love That beckons above me, there's no better love That ever has loved me, there's no better love So darling, feel better love 'Cause there's no better love That's laid beside me, there's no better love That justifies me, there's no better love So darling, darling, feel better love Feel better love

Feel better love Feel better love Feel better love'

Cause there's no better love That beckons above me, there's no better love That ever has loved me, there's no better love So darling, feel better love 'Cause there's no better love That's laid beside me, there's no better love That justifies me, there's no better love So darling, feel better love Feel better love

“If you even think about sitting there, you won’t make it to your next class,” Evan said, not looking up from the book in front of him as he turned a page.

♕ – — “That’s a shame,” Araminta said, sliding into the seat across from him as she tossed her hair over her shoulder, “I do so adore Potions, it would a real shame to miss it.” Her pale eyes watched him intently as she settled into her seat, pursing her red lips, “have you been avoiding me, Evan?”

there was something inherently familiar about the other. winnie stretched out her arms over her head, rolling her neck around. “then I wouldn’t bore you with it anyway. idle minds speak of idle things.” and in order to enjoy a gossip column, you had to give a shit about the people involved. winnie didn’t. “just because I don’t need it, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. sometimes you just have to give into the more pleasurable things in life. like bed sheets.”

♕ – — Araminta hummed in agreement with the other girl’s words, lifting her cup to take a sip of her tea, “well, I can’t disagree with you there.” God forbid anyone think her mind idle. Araminta had always excelled for the best, even if it meant being something of an over-achiever. “I’m afraid rounds have been cutting into my beauty sleep time. It’s like every man and his dog is out and about after curfew,” she sighed, shaking her head in frustration, she’d spent so many nights now writing people up or escorting them back to their rooms.

“A dictator type? Oof, that’s never good” he cringed, though he knew that she wasn’t being entirely serious. Frank could be strict, but only when he really needed to be. Unfortunately, recent events had forced the need to be stricter upon him. He had had to write up two prefects that week, which hadn’t been pleasant. “Exactly” he grinned, “they’re bad enough at the moment with students sneaking about after dark while we are patrolling, imagine what would happen if we didn’t. Lawlessness, rioting, chaos…” he sighed, dramatically.

♕ – — She chuckled softly, shaking her head at his dramatic words, “sometimes I think some of the student body are already trying to start in on the lawlessness. It’s like the crackdown on the rules has made people want to break them even more.” She ran a hand through her long hair, turning her attention back to Frank, “but how are you dealing with everything? It can’t be easy, being Head Boy during a time like this.”

“really? because I certainly didn’t bring it up. which leads me to believe that you’re simply dying to talk about it after reading the article.” winnie smiled. “can’t say I caught the latest edition, though. I was catching up on my beauty sleep.”

♕ – — She glanced over at the girl, pursing her lips, “I just wanted to make it perfectly clear. I’ve already had to have far too many conversations about it.” Araminta allowed her gaze to linger on the other girl a moment longer before looking away, a soft laugh escaping her lips, “I doubt that, you are one of the few people in the castle that doesn’t need beauty sleep.”
