i've always been a storm.

she liked thunderstorms, because she knew that chaos existed, not only in her veins, in her mind, but in the universe and if something as infinite as the universe needed to release its chaos, then so could she, a mere speck on the universal spectrum emmeline vance. ravenclaw. proud muggleborn. herbology enthusiast. she/her.

“Mum wasn’t happy to hear I talked pa out of grounding him” Amelia chuckled, “I don’t like reading under pressure, I really struggle to read anything that doesn’t interest me or I have to read it. I like to read everything on magical and non magical law.”

“Ah, well, parents just have to accept that their kids are bloody good at saving each other from punishments like grounding. My sister and I are bloody professionals when it comes to that kinda stuff,” said Emme, laughing softly. “Me neither! I mean, reading is really cool when you think about it and I do it a ton, but when you’re forcing yourself to get through a book it’s ... that’s just impossible. Law’s interesting, yeah, but I do find it a tad tedious at times.”

“ i never get called a genius on a regular basis so i’d let this pass, vancey. “ he chuckled before shaking his head. “ yes. my mom never let me set foot on the kitchen after that. i guess she has trust issues with my cooking, anyway, i wanted to cook her a meal ever since…. yeah. “ he wanted to talk about how his father left the three of the notts under his mum’s care, but rather chose not to in the end. “ i’ll be taking up on that offer. a miracle might happen, who knows. jus’ don’t panic when i begin to cry. i do it a lot when i’m drunk.. “ the sound of bottles clinking together prevailed.

“you’re a genius. period. let’s move on,” she said, voice extremely serious. “understandable, to be honest. i’d not trust you with any fire after that, either. still, you’re a wizard, aren’t ya? it’s not like it’s hard to put out a fire if you are one.” then, emmeline frowned and asked, in a more quiet voice, “since what? anything can be said here, tonight. in confidence, and all that.” she gave the other a small smile. “i’ve got a sister who cries a bunch, so i’ll be fine. really, if those tears do start to spill, don’t even worry. sometimes you just gotta let those emotions fly free, y’know? maybe i’ll even join you and cry too.”

hcneyandgunpowder:

It was true, she was right, they were scarily the same height and Alice couldn’t hide her frown ( though, it really was a pout and rather comical ), “WHATEVER you say, you’re still younger than me.” She stuck her tongue out, “it would be funny if I grew a tail and had to come back to Hogwarts in September with it just to get rid of it. Something unpleasant like that. At least you’d see me in the fall.” 

“Oh, you got me now ... I’m younger!! WHAT a disaster,” Emmeline exclaimed, hands thrown up in the air d r a m a t i c a l l y. “What will I do now?!” Then, she laughed, head shaking at her own ridiculousness. “Oh shit, that’d be actually amazing. I hope you do, and if you don’t, I’ll just owl you a curse that’ll give you one either way.” She was quiet for a moment, before adding, “I’ll have to figure out how to do that first, though.”

[emmelinc-a]

mafxlda:

“Yes, studying. How important.” She laughed, taking the bottle that Emmeline passed to her. “Well, I’m about to down a whole bottle of wine, so that should probably give you an indication.”

“Am so bloody glad I’m not graduating until next year; my ickle brain isn’t mature enough to focus on all that revision yet, but maybe it will be when I’m a tad older.” A frown, then. “If you wanna talk, go ahead, yeah?”

[emmelinc-a]

ofmetagoldstein:

“Don’t need to tell me that. Nothin’ weirder than a bunch of kids showin’ up at your door callin’ themselves brownies and manipulatin’ ya for cash with cake.” She tutted playfully before uncorking her own. “Shut up, you’d have been proper mad if that had smashed all over the floor. You’re lucky I’m so fuckin’ talented.” Rory grinned, winking playfully as she took a sip.

“Thank fuck they never showed to my neighbourhood; I bet the parents of those lil’ buggers were scared to let them run ‘round there,” said Emmeline, chuckling a little. “Smart of ‘em, too. And yeah, ‘f course I would’ve been. At you, ‘cause I expect you to be able to catch shit when I throw it at you. And hell no, I wish you were less talented. That way it’d be easier to score some goals during Quidditch.”

[emmelinc-a]

ncthanielnott:

“ i’m not a genius, em. i just learn things quicker than most — but i’m still not a genius because i suck at so many things. like cooking. i almost burned down our house once when i tried to fry an egg!  “ nathaniel exclaimed with an amused chuckle. “ alright. i was looking forward to the part where we both break down & cry but maybe another night, eh? cheers. “

“makes you a genius in my book,” said emmeline with a shrug. then, she laughed. “you nearly burned the house down cookin’ an egg? man, i learned how to scramble ‘em to perfection at the tender age of nine -- i’ll teach ya how to do it properly sometime. can’t have really burn the house down next time, ‘fter all.” she took a sip of her bottle. “ah, well --- the night is still young, who knows what’ll happen, eh? cheers!”

[emmelinc-a]

ofmetagoldstein:

“Ah boo-hoo. Grow up, the world ain’t all rainbows and girl scouts kid.” Rory retorted, barely holding in a laugh. Her eyes soon went wide as the bottle soared through the air, the keeper just barely managing to catch it. “Jesus Christ, ya nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“GOOD, ‘cus rainbows are overrated and girl scouts are creepy,” said Emmeline, letting a laugh slip past her lips. “Oh, fuck off. You’re a keeper; if you hadn’t caught that, you didn’t deserve to be on the team.” She uncorked her bottle with a flick of her wand. “So don’t be so dramatic.”

[emmelinc-a]

hcneyandgunpowder:

“Oh, that’s right, you’re much younger and much more unknowing. You are a little plant, waiting to grow, I’m a GIANT tree,” nodding, Alice then decided she was going to steal one of them, because why not? Though, she wasn’t sure they’d work. “Do you think they’d even work? I think they might.”

“Hm, sure, sure, if THAT’s what you want to believe,” said Emmeline. “I think you’re probably the only one in this castle who matches my height, but suuuuure.” Then, she shrugged. “I’ve no clue, but even if they didn’t, they’re pretty fancy, aren’t they? I just hope there’s no charms that keep you from taking things like that from the castle.”

[emmelinc-a]

mafxlda:

“See, we can’t have that now can we?” She laughed. “Whatever you’re not drinking, honestly, although, I am partial to a nice Merlot.”

“Absolutely not! I need to use my head for studying, after all,” said Emmeline, clearly tired from poring over her books. “Then the Merlot shall be yours,” was added dramatically, as she handed over the bottle. “How’re you, then?”

[emmelinc-a]

of-bellctrix:

“Never pegged you as a coward Emmeline.” 

“So choosing to get hexed -- unless you were just making empty threats -- over havin’ a drink with you is cowardly? Your logic is ... illogical, frankly.”

[emmelinc-a]

ofmetagoldstein:

“You’re fuckin’ right I am, no bigger than my arm.” The ‘Puff keeper’s lips twitched in amusement. “There ain’t no one better than me to drink with, Vance.”

“I don’t know  ... I know some people who aren’t FUCKING mean to me, just because I’m short,” said Emmeline, voice filled with fake anger. She chucked the bottle towards Rory, though, a grin on her lips. “Catch.” 

[emmelinc-a]

captain-bones:

“My little brother once, apparently saving him from a grounding makes me a hero in his eyes” Amelia laughed, “I enjoy reading so I’m in here often, when quidditch isn’t taking up my time”

“That is pretty heroic, not going to lie,” said Emmeline, laughing softly. “Ahh yeah, I get you; I spend my fair share of time here, too, but mostly in the Herbology and history sections. I don’t read much else just for fun --- kind of a shame, I s’pose. I mean, I tried reading something on Transfig in my free time once, but I just .... I couldn’t do it.” A pause. “What d’you like to read, then?”

[emmelinc-a]

ncthanielnott:

“ now you’re making me sound like a genius when i am not. “ nathaniel commented with a brief chuckle before taking the bottle. “ well i’m not gonna lie— it did seem to me you’re drinking because something is bothering you. “ he took a chug, “ or that you just wanted a drink from all the studying. “

“you’re a ravenclaw, aren’t ya? that makes you a genius automatically, just sayin’,” said emme, laughing softly as she uncorked her bottle with the wave of her wand. “agh, if there was something goin’ on, i’d not want to talk ‘bout it anyway. really, don’t worry. am just looking for some fun.”

“I think anyone crueller than you would actually just kill me. I tell you what, you help me come up with a foolproof excuse and I will literally buy you whatever you want from Honeydukes.”

[emmelinc-a]

“And we would NOT want that,” said Emmeline solemnly. “Deal. Let me think ...” She fell quiet for a moment. “You can always say there was a family emergency; tends to work well, but it could have some consequences that would require you to lie more. Or you can say you lost your cat and that you couldn’t finish your homework because you spent so long looking for her? Be sure to be a bit tearful and all, no one can resist a sad cat story.”
