A smug, accomplished smile found its way to his lips at her comment. “It’s a good thing you only live on the first floor, then, or else I probably wouldn’t have been able to impress you with my climbing skills.” He joked. He was doubting his ability to get to her window as it was – another story and he may well have given up on his grand plan. Riley was glad to hear the brunette laugh, even if his impression had been more on the side of awful than great. “If I had a pound for every time I’d heard that…” He offered a smile. That smile grew, of course, when she returned his wink and her hand moved to his shoulder. His head fell back against the bed once again and his gaze met hers. “Perfect. I think you have a backup career lined up now.”

Daisy laughed lightly to herself then shook her head. “I mean to be fair, the height that you are you could have just jumped and reached my window so, come to think of it.. It’s not all that impressive.” The brunette teased him with a quick wink, hand moving to tuck a couple of curled strands behind her ear. “My parents did always call you Ridiculous Riley.” She smirked, it was her attempt at a joke and yet.. The mention of her parents only brought a somber expression to her face. Quickly shaking her head, Daisy then allowed her gaze to shift back to settle on his face, the smile that graced his lips immediately forcing one to hers. That damn smile.. Merlin, it was something she could certainly get used to seeing. In response to his statement, the brunette laughed lightly then delivered a gentle slap to his shoulder without thinking. “Crap, sorry!” She exclaimed, laughing as she massaged his shoulder once again, head rolling to the side to rest her cheek against the mattress as she peered toward him.

He would admit, the idea was kind of amusing. Riley would usually be the first to say that he was not cut out for that sort of thing, nor did he want to be. But, contesting her belief was providing him with amusement. “Hey, we’re basically secret agents now.” He retorted with a reasonably smug smile. “And, I am sure there are plenty of missions involving six foot windows only…. They may usually be called doors, but it’s all the same.” He laughed some more. At the witch’s comment, Riley attempted a poor impression of a sheep, but scooted closer to her nonetheless. His head fell back against the bed and he turned to look at her again, smile still firmly on his lips. “Be gentle.” He said, offering her a wink.

Just the thought of Riley taking on the role in question was amusing for Daisy. Although she didn’t really know much about the man he had become, she really could not imagine the Riley she knew holding any kind of subtlety. Chuckling quietly to herself, the brunette then laughed lightly. “There’s still hope for you yet. Besides, you are pretty talented when it comes to scaling walls.” Daisy offered him a smile before shaking her head slowly. The impression that flitted through the air toward her made a light laugh pass her lips and she quickly shook her head once again. “You’re ridiculous, Riley.” She spoke softly, a smile crossing her face. Merlin, she had missed him. “Always.” Daisy offered him a wink in return then shuffled around on the bed, giving herself a better position to gently rest one of her hands down on his shoulder, massaging it delicately. “How’s that?” She asked with a slight smile crossing her face as she peered toward him, azure pools meeting his deep brown ones.

Riley laughed at the brunette’s comment but simply shook his head. He waited a moment, letting the room go silent and listening out for any sign of movement in the house. When he concluded that he’d listened for long enough, he spoke again. “If your brother didn’t hear it, then I’d say I could make a living of it.” He pushed himself up into a sitting position on the floor and shrugged. “If your window was the slightest bit taller…” He looked back at the window and chuckled again, his hand moving to one of his shoulders to massage it a little. “I think my shoulder broke my fall you know.” His gaze met hers again and a smile came to his lips again. 

Daisy laughed lightly to herself then cocked her head to the side ever-so-slightly. “I don’t really see how a six foot something guy could be a secret agent but, go ahead and prove me wrong.” The brunette laughed once again then tucked her arms beneath her chin, propping her head up a little. “Six foot something secret agent only eligible for missions that include six foot something windows.” Daisy mused to herself, a smirk settling on her lips. A slight, mocking pout crossed her face as he spoke. “Aw..” She cooed softly, pushing her bottom lip out. “Come here, let me take care of the injured little lamb.” The young witch teased.

When Riley had considered this arguably idiotic idea, it had seemed foolproof. Now that he had scaled the garden fence and was half way up the wall and almost at Daisy’s window, he was second guessing his brilliance. He’d remembered the multiple times he’d attempted the climb up to Daisy’s bedroom through the window when they were kids. Yet, somehow despite being a good three feet shorter, he had also been a far better climber – even if he had fallen a few times with those attempts. Still, despite the struggle, he’d managed to get up to her window. Luckily, he had checked that her window was open before attempting the climb and managed to fumble through the window. His tall stature did not help him fit elegantly through the window, though, and so his entrance was a mixture between a fall and a forward roll directly into the room and onto the floor. His head fell back against the floor as he caught his breath and looked up towards his friend, a lopsided smile on his lips. “Thought I’d drop by…” A light chuckle left his lips.

Daisy had been preparing to head to bed for the evening. After having said goodnight to Kieran, the door had been shut and her bedside lamp lit. The dull orange flame lit the room, causing a cozy atmosphere to fall over the interior. With a smile, the brunette hopped into her bed and grabbed the book that sat beside the lamp, opening it in her lap as she settled beneath the duvet. The brisk night air licked its way through the open window, with it being the beginning of summer, a cool breeze was certainly welcomed. A light gasp fell through the brunette’s lips as she saw a figure move through the window and a thud sound on the floor beneath. Sitting up, the young brunette then smirked hearing the voice that emitted from the being that created the thud. With a roll of her eyes, Daisy then placed the book down and shuffled to the edge of her bed, laying on her tummy she peeked over the edge of the mattress, looking down on her best friend. “I see..” An amused smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “Don’t ever think of becoming a secret agent or anything that even remotely involves grace or subtlety, will you?” A smirk crossed her face as she peered down at the male, eyes sparkling in the dim light.

Riley rolled his eyes at his friend’s comment, but laughed all the same. The action that accompanied the brunette’s words was honestly adorable and Riley couldn’t help himself from smiling. An expression of shock and hurt found it’s way to his features as he pretended to be offended by her words. “Then your memory must need some fine-tuning.” 

Daisy raised an eyebrow toward the male then laughed lightly as she shrugged her shoulders. “Go ahead, prove me wrong - it has been a few years since I last saw you, perhaps you have changed.” The brunette sent her former best friend a quick wink before she moved to placed the photograph back on the bookshelf, smiling to herself she then picked up the mugs she had earlier placed there. “...Could you show me some more of your work? I’m honestly really interested.” She smiled, blushing ever-so-slightly she then dropped her gaze to the ground.

“You know,” Kirean started, handing his sister the cup of hot chocolate that he had made for them both. “Staying in the house all day isn’t exactly healthy.” He sat down on the sofa next to her. “I would know, being a Doctor and all.” He joked, a small smile finding its way to his lips.

“Staying in is safer than being out there..” Daisy huffed with a roll of her eyes before she took the hot chocolate, took a sip then placed it on the table to the side of her. She lay sprawled out over the sofa in the living room of the home she shared with the male whom she called her half brother. “I can’t die in here.” She shrugged her shoulders before rolling over and shoving her facing into the cushions.

Riley raised his brows slightly and nodded his head in agreement – she had a point. “You have to wonder where the smoke is coming from, though.” He pointed out, a smile pulling on the corners of his lips before a light chuckle filled the space around them. “That would be impossible,” he said, tilting his head to the side questioning her comment. “I am an angel.” That was, of course, a lie. His step-sister certainly had her hands full with him at times, but he liked to think it was a give and take kind of situation. 

Daisy narrowed her eyes for a moment as Riley spoke then laughed lightly as she raised her hands, palms facing toward her friend. “It must be magic.” She spoke, a mock mystical tone to her voice as she wiggled her fingers, laughing lightly to herself as she shook her head, dropping her hands back to her sides as she realised how dorky her gesture must have looked. Another laugh spilled past the brunette’s lips as her friend spoke, his comment making her raise an eyebrow toward him. “An angel? That’s not quite the Riley I remember.” Daisy spoke, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

Ever since arriving in Portharne Daisy had chosen to make the library her safe space. When she wasn’t on duty, the young brunette had her nose in a book, whether it be a muggle book or a magic one, she couldn’t get enough. It wasn’t often that she had company yet, when she heard the door open her eyes slowly moved to settle on the figure that passed through the gap. Her lips parted for a moment and she blinked a few times, recognising the other before she quickly snapped her gaze back to the book in her hands. Daisy couldn’t remember the last time she had seen the other girl, yet she remembered every part of their time together just like it was yesterday.

Riley tilted his head slightly and his features turned into an expression that suggested he was wounded by the comment. Of course, he was only joking which was solidified by the laughter that left his lips shortly after. “That’s probably for the best,” he said, shrugging and nodding his head. “One of my home brews resulted in me breathing smoke for a good couple of days afterward. It wasn’t the most healthy thing in the world.” He explained to her. There were a lot of side effects when it came to brewing one’s own stuff, and Riley liked to test the limits a little. As the brunette spoke again after a moment’s silence, he pulled away slightly and smiled down at her. “I did – though she’s a pain in the ass sometimes.” A light chuckle left his lips. He wasn’t ready to tell her about everything that had happened in their time apart. There were so many things that would dampen the mood, or even change her opinion of him and he didn’t want that. He didn’t know who she had turned into in their time apart, either.

The expression that laced the male’s face made Daisy laugh lightly to herself then once again shake her head. In the past, what, thirty minutes of regaining a relationship with the boy who she had exited her life almost ten years ago, the young brunette had a happiness within her that compared to no other. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt such a way - yet the feeling always seemed to come from Riley’s doing.. Whether it was a joke, a laugh or even a smile - Daisy was truly happy in this moment having him by her side again. “Surely breathing out smoke is healthier than breathing it in.” The brunette commented, sending a wink in the male’s direction. As Riley spoke about his step sister once again, Daisy laughed lightly then smiled up toward her former best friend. “I don’t doubt that she thinks the same about you.” She teased him with a smirk.  

[durmstrangdaisy]

rileyhenderson:

That almost sounded like she wanted him back in her life. They were already bouncing so well off of one another, that it almost felt like nothing had changed. So, he would have liked that. But, there was the wonder of how much they had changed, but he could worry about that later. He nodded and smiled. “Me too.” He chuckled lightly at her reaction and shrugged. “I would have known you could handle the hard stuff is all,” he joked with his former best friend. Riley could see the concern on her features and it was quite touching really. It was something that he had hated for so long after his mother had died – those concerned looks everyone would give him, the fake attempts to help him. But, he was better at dealing with it now the pain wasn’t so fresh. And he had fucked a lot up in that time, too. He was glad they hadn’t reunited then, for he might have pushed her away too. It might have been too painful. But, he wasn’t going to mention that fact yet. “No, no, it’s okay. It was for the best, mostly.” At the time, Riley had hated his father for pulling him away, and he still held a resentment for it, but he had come to terms with it when he was a bit older and old enough to know that it wasn’t an environment for a child. He hugged her back as she pulled him into an embrace. “Not that I knew that at the time.” He shrugged before wrapping his arms around her waist. Still, the distance had meant obviously being away from Daisy, but also seeing his mother very little and never on his own. That was something he wouldn’t be able to forgive. 

With a roll of her eyes, Daisy delivered a gentle slap to the male’s forearm with a laugh. “From here on out I’m not going to trust a single potion you give me.” She sent him a quick wink as a laugh passed her lips. The relief of being in his arms once again was almost enough to let all of her worries slip to the back of her mind, yet she still worried for the male. Daisy didn’t know exactly what had happened with his mother, and she knew she would only find out when Riley was ready to speak about it - though she knew it couldn’t have been anything good. For as long as she could remember, Riley and his mother had had a very loving relationship, it was something that she envied since her parents weren’t overly loving themselves - they only cared when it suited them. Which is one of the main reasons why her and Riley bonded so greatly, they were inseparable because Daisy never wanted to be home, she only ever wanted to be around him and his mother.. So much so that she had more of a relationship with Riley’s mother than her own. The idea that something bad could have happened to her made the young brunette’s heart ache, not only for Riley.. But for herself too. “Well, at least you gained a sister..” She spoke, hoping to turn the conversation back to a light hearted nature.

[durmstrangdaisy]

rileyhenderson:

“Well, it’s kind of my fault.” He shrugged, meeting her gaze. He knew that it wasn’t strictly necessary but he had felt the need to anyway. Riley smiled and nodded at her decision. “It could come in handy.” He agreed, chuckling lightly. “Well if I had known it was you before I came out of that room, then I might not have.” He winked at the brunette, but of course his tone held a joking note. He could see the shock in the woman’s features and he couldn’t blame her. Before he had been taken in by his father, he had known him about as well as any stranger he had passed on the street. It had been hard, at first. A smile found its way back to his lips as she took his other hand and his gaze moved down to them. “Yeah – he’s kind of the reason I had to leave you behind.” He caught his bottom lip between his teeth. His father was just as at fault as his mother, in Riley’s opinion – perhaps more so. His eyes came up to search for hers again.

“I know, but it’s fine.. Don’t worry - I’m just really freaking happy to have you back now.” Daisy admitted with a deep sigh passing her lips. The brunette laughed in response to his next comment then dramatically placed a hand over her chest. “I’m hurt, Ri..” She teased, the nickname she’d always given him slipping past her lips with ease. Daisy didn’t want to pry any further, though she was concerned now, Riley and his mother had had such a close relationship so she was wondering why he would willingly leave her behind to live with his father. Though.. Maybe it hadn’t been so willing. The brunette shook her head. “I’m so sorry, Ri..” She spoke softly then dropped both of his hands before gently lacing her arms around his neck, pulling him into yet another embrace. Daisy would certainly not mind getting used to such things again.

[durmstrangdaisy]

rileyhenderson:

“I’m sorry.” Riley offered her a small apologetic smile. While it wasn’t strictly his fault, he felt partially responsible for the situation. As he watched her examine the bottle, his smile grew. “Euphoria elixir. Completely official – no side effects in this one, though.” He said smugly. “Though you can save it for another time, if you want.” He shrugged. It was only going to make her extremely happy and excited. It wouldn’t be a bad thing. Some of the other stuff in there might have been, but that was another story. Riley pressed his lips together and took a deep breath when she mentioned his mother but shook his head. Her holding his hand had come at just the right time and provided a great deal of comfort, even though she couldn’t have possibly known it. “My dad, actually.” 

“Hey, no.. Don’t be silly. You don’t need to apologise.” Although the apology was appreciated, it was certainly not needed.. Surely if Riley had anything to do with it, he wouldn’t have left.. Or so she hoped anyway. As he explained what was in the phial, Daisy smiled then took it from him. “I think I’ll save it for now. Thanks for going easy on me.” She sent him a wink. His voice filled the air once again, the statement making a confused expression flit over the young brunette’s features. Through their childhood there had not been a single mention of Riley’s father.. Not that she could remember anyway. So hearing it was a shock. “Your dad?” She questioned, taking another step closer to him and taking his free hand in her other one too. Daisy assumed from the expression he held that there wasn’t a happy story behind his decision to live with his father, so she figured he would need the comfort from her touch.. If it even managed to have that effect on him anymore.

“Wait, you’re with them?” He questioned his brow furrowing. How many of them was there? “Are you there, erm… willingly?”

Daisy gaze shifted awkwardly as he questioned her. “Of course. Look..” She raised her wrists with a laugh. “No restraints.” She shook her head at the male who, obviously, had to be a muggle. 

[durmstrangdaisy]

rileyhenderson:

Riley listened to the brunette as she explained the reason that he might not have seen her around. And here he had thought that it was only him that had felt lost after being ripped away from his mother, and his life. “Durmstrang?” He was shocked – he had only heard of it and didn’t know too much about it. But, it seemed like a world away. “Wow. That bad, huh?” He joked, trying to make the conversation a little more light-hearted after seeing her struggle slightly to tell the story. “That’s good, because honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted to erase your memory of this conversation. And, in that case, I can definitely give you this.” He said, holding out the bright yellow potion toward the brunette. He watched as she took in the rest of the photos. But he wasn’t prepared for her next question which forced a laugh from his lips. He should have expected it, but it took a moment to respond. “No, no.” He shook his head. “She’s my step sister.” 

Daisy nodded her head as he questioned her, confirming. “Yeah, losing my best friend was pretty shitty.” She admitted with a light-hearted laugh spilling through her lips as she wrinkled her nose ever-so-slightly. The brunette peered at the yellow potion that he pulled from behind his back, lips parting at its beauty for a moment before she reached for it. “Are you going to tell me what it is before I take it?” She raised a brow toward him with a slight smirk playing on her lips. If Daisy said that she hadn’t felt the slightest hint of relief slip through her mind as he spoke, she’d be lying. “Step sister? Wait.. Someone finally snapped up your mum?” She took a step closer, taking his hand in hers gently as her teeth nipped her bottom lip once again. 

[durmstrangdaisy]

Sam turned to look at the female, “Do you have a better theory?” He asked with a pointed look. “I have it on good authority that they’re part of a cult, so an orgy isn’t as far fetched at you’d think.” 

Daisy shook her head then laughed. “As a member of the ‘cult’ in question, I can assure you there are no orgies to be had.” She laughed once again.

[durmstrangdaisy]

rileyhenderson:

Riley hadn’t expected the brunette to step into him and wrap her arms around him, but when she did, he instinctively wrapped his tightly around her. “It’s me, Daisy.” He said the words quiet and low. He allowed her to pull away and returned her smile. He was silent, just taking in the form of his former best friend – she had changed so much. She was still beautiful, though. More beautiful if it was possible. But then a thought dawned on him. “Wait, how come you weren’t at Hogwarts? Unless – you are a witch, right?” He asked. Her comments had suggested so, at least, and he had really put his foot in his mouth if she wasn’t. Showing her potions and such. “Because I really don’t want to have to do this again.” He joked lightly, though if she wasn’t then she probably wouldn’t understand it at all.

As he spoke, Daisy couldn’t resist the urge to tighten her grasp around him, her lips tugging into a large grin. Listening to his question, the brunette then ran a hand back through her hair, teeth nipping down on her bottom lip. “I-” She sighed and shook her head, knowing what she was about to say would likely sound pathetic. “After you left, I kind of went through a dark time.. Things happened, I changed and my parents thought it would be best if I was kept separate from the bad memories so.. They sent me away to Durmstrang Institute and I studied there.” She told him with a light sigh before shrugging her shoulders. “Still a witch, just a Durmstrang one instead of a Hogwarts one.” Daisy said with a laugh before moving to place the photograph back in its original spot on the bookcase. Her eyes trailed over the rest of the frames, all of which held photographs of Riley with a beautiful woman whom she didn’t recognise. A pang of jealousy settled in her stomach for a moment before she looked back toward her former best friend. “Your girlfriend?” She asked with a smile.
