Gillian’s afternoon was clear and she hadn’t a class to attend, so she decided to give enjoy some downtime in the common room before dinner. Well, she’d cleared her schedule herself - she did have class that afternoon - she was just looking forward to not having to do anything from the moment she woke up. Still in her everyday clothes, neglecting to put on her robes until she absolutely had to, she lounged in the couch of the common room. A fire glistened across from the couch, it was warm, and she had hot cocoa from the morning still in her hands. 

The atmosphere was perfect... except he was there. Normally she didn’t mind or didn’t think much of the company of James Potter, but she couldn’t ignore his presence. Perhaps it was the feeling that he was sitting too close or being too loud, but she was just bothered. “Could your feet be any closer? Come one Potter, that whole half of the couch is yours. No need to invade on my space, now.”

@albvsism:

Albus watched as she deftly ran and caught the rodent in her hands, raising an eyebrow as he was actually pretty impressed at her skill in the situation. He gave her quick round of applause at her capture.

‘‘I didn’t really do anything, just came along for the ride.’‘ he shrugged his shoulders. ‘‘Oh god, I don’t even want to know what kind of torture you have in mind for that poor person.’‘ Albus chuckled, before he cocked his head to the side a little at Gillis comment. ‘‘If I was shit on a broom, I think it’d be fairly obvious I was adopted. Being in Slytherin was the first nail and that would be the final nail of the adoption coffin..’‘ he rolled his eyes. ‘‘Short answer is… I’m alright.’‘

Attentively, Gillian listened as Albus described his status with a broom, holding the gopher in her hands, just tight enough to make sure it wouldn’t get away again. After considering it for a moment, she was sure she’d seen him on the pitch before. 

“That’s right, you’re a Potter. Should have known you would have at least the basics down on a broom, not to mention that you’re on your quidditch team. Beater right?” she questioned with a grin, beginning to walk back to the Ravenclaw common room to plant the rodent. She would leave it up to Albus as to whether he followed or not. “I’m a beater, too. I have to say, and I’m not biased whatsoever, beater has got to be the most fun of all the positions.”

activity notes —

the problems with my computer have returned, and the keyboard and trackpad aren’t functioning anymore *again*. i’m doing my best to fix this issue so i apologize for not getting to my replies. if this problem persists, i’ll likely have to invest in a new computer as the manufacturer says this is an incurable issue.

thanks for understanding!

@albvsism:

Albus had been enjoying a somewhat quiet afternoon, he’d gone to charms and was now working on the nights homework, sitting quietly leaning against the wall, overlooking the courtyard. He all but jumped three feet when he heard Gilli shout, he turned to see some kind of creature scutter past him. He raised an eyebrow at the situation at hand; debating for a moment whether he should help. Before, swiftly jumping down from his space and joining in the gopher hunt. ‘’Why in the name of Merlin, are you… and now me chasing after a small rodent? Or should I even ask?’’

Gillian ignored the questions from the young slytherin boy until she had the rodent in her hands again. After a great deal of scurrying around the halls, the creature was finally cornered and Gillian managed to get a hold of it with only a little squirming making the ordeal more difficult. 

“Thanks for your help,” Gilli said, brushing off the gopher best she could before finally turning to her helper. “If you must know, it’s for a ‘special’ friend of mine who’s just about the worst person you’ll ever meet. This little guy is gonna make a burrow in their mattress, aren’t you little guy? You’re quite a fast runner, how are you on a broom?”

“Avocado! ... Alberta! ... Algebra?” 

Wand in hand, Gillian stood defeated outside the girls lavatory on the third floor, babbling made up spells in attempt to unlock the door. All she wanted to do was use the bathroom, but she couldn’t for the life of her remember the spell that unlocks things. Had it not been for her stubborn nature, she would have gone a level down to use a different lavatory, but the spell was on the tip of her tongue, so there she remained. Damn the wizarding world for sticking to latin opposed to something more practical. There’s no way she would forget a spell like ‘unlocko thisdooro’. After getting tired of standing, she decided to sit crosslegged about two yards from the door, still waving her wand at the thing, hoping she’d get it right eventually. 

“Aardvark! Anchovy. Alchemy for Merlin’s sake...?”

“CATCH THAT GOPHER!”

This was only the beginning of Gillian’s misfortunes for the day. With classes beginning again she found herself with an extra hour set aside to get back at a Ravenclaw who’d had it coming for a real long time. The idea of a gopher living in the mattress of her rival was an idea that had been stirring in her mind for a while, and after a successful transfiguration class, she was prepared to finally let the little creature settle into its new habitat. To do so, though, she would have to catch the blasted thing first. Chasing quickly after, she rounded the corner of a hall with students scattered here and there, calling out to whoever was willing to help her. She needed that gopher, damnit. 

“DAMNIT, SOMEONE GRAB IT!”

TASK 03. write a letter to a family member or a journal entry explaining how your character is feeling about the future. the letter or journal entry MUST be about the recent plot drops. are they scared about the birth of a new war ? are they afraid that they might be attacked next ? are they upset about the attack on dominique weasley ? 

Dearest Nanna, 

You’ll have to forgive me for not visiting or at least writing to you at Christmas. I miss you, and I promise I’ll stick to your schedule until I come see you in the summertime. The thing is, something’s happening at Hogwarts that’s got all the students and faculty stirring in their seats. I’m not even sure of what happened myself, but I know that war is being waged once more, and a dear friend of mine suffered because of it. 

I wish I could have done something but all I could do was stand and watch. I’ve not been allowed in the hospital wing to see her - at least I haven’t tried again since I’ve gotten booted out twice -, and all of my nerves are at their ends. Let it be known, though, that your little girl is well equipped to defend herself. There’s no way in hell this is happening to me or anyone else if I can help it. Whatever form that takes I’m ready. Don’t be worried for me, I’ll be just fine. 

I’ll take a day off sometime soon when the snow melts to come visit. You can’t tell mum, though; you remember our deal. I love you, Nanna.

Sincerely,

Your Gilli Bean

‘‘I feel very weird about it. I mean obviously I knew I had some family out there, but never in a million years did I contemplate that my twin sister, would come up to me in the library and announce her existence.’‘ Cat ran a hand through as she tried to figure out her thoughts.. ‘‘I need to talk to my Dad, I don’t know if he knows, or if he did and didn’t want me to know.’‘

‘‘Yeah, as far as I know she’s lovely. We haven’t really talked through all the semantics, or even really gotten to know each other, it’s not like the parent trap in the slightest. Well I’ve always known I was adopted, but Sofia only found out this past summer, she found a letter written by our mother, in her Mums study. I have a similar letter. So I guess she did some digging and found out her name and get out birth certificates and then she looked for me..’‘

“Cat this is such news! I’m really happy that you’ve found them. Or... rather they found you, but no matter,” she gleamed, trying to understand why she was the only one who was really smiling. If Gilli had found out she had a family vastly different from her own, she would be elated, but surely her case was not the same as Catriona’s. She tried to joke, but the ending wasn’t quite how she imagined it would sound, “What’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like your dad could disown you at this point, right? Maybe... I don’t know. You should just talk to him. Try to learn more.”

“You’re saying this is nothing like the Parent Trap but honestly, Cat, this is sounding a lot like the Parent Trap,” she teased, “All you need now is a dress boutique and a vineyard worthy of glamorous horseback riding.”

@thelouweasley:

It was easy to let his inner demons out. It was easy to blame all his problems on this girl and to give him a physical human as a target. Hating a group was hard to do. It made him feel powerless. Right here, right now the power were in his and Gillian’s hands. His smug smirk widened on his lips as Gill literally picked the girl up. He was almost in awe of her brute strength. Though fleeting, he recognized the the look on her face. She didn’t want to be seen as the monster everyone wrongly thought she was. And neither did he. If anyone was going to give this girl a lasting warning it would be him.

He stepped in front of Gill and raised his wand. It was a hex he had never tested but it was something he read in his uncle’s journal of mischief. Something Fred and George had cooked up for St. Patrick’s day, though tonight’s intention weren’t as comical. “Here’s a little something to alert everyone of the snake you truly are.” The hex left the girl’s hands green and shimmery almost as if she had snake scales on her skin. “Mess with anyone else and I swear to Merlin, I’ll turn you into a damn snake and throw you into the woods.”

Gillian stood behind Louis with her arms folded and her hands balled into tight fists as she exchanged glances with the girl and the floor... mostly the floor. As the words of the slytherin echoed through her brain, she was forced to rethink a great deal of what had led her to the slytherin common room in the first place? The legitimacy of her claims and accusations toward the girl were all likely too quick in the making, and now Louis was finishing the job she never should have started. Gilli knew better, however, than to get in between the happiest boy she knew when he was at his angriest. 

Her eyes stuck to the girl as scales unfolded across the skin of her fingers and hands, a glimmering green that reflected the little light in the room. The part of her that still wanted to push the girl through the wall was satisfied, but the part that didn’t was too much of a coward to try to explain to Lou that perhaps they had been wrong. Now that was something she never thought of herself as... “Well done, Lou, now let’s leave the snake be,” she proposed in a quiet voice, leading herself out of the common room after giving Lou’s sleeve a light tug.

@fairchildpuff:

“Ouch!” He did nothing, but laugh as she tried to take it back. “I mean, I hope so at this point!” He still wore a small, teasing smile. Even if it had been a little one sided thinking they were friends until now, he didn’t mind. “Pfft, sounded like you did.” He lightly joked, mouth opening to politely disagree. Gillian saw right through him though. “Academic torture!” He found the exaggeration funny. “Come on! The Demiguise would’ve been fun, but this will be better.” As his favorite class, he had nothing, but endless optimism.

“A woman’s touch around the boy’s bathroom, is that something you think about often? We might thank you, you never know.” What a prank that would be, too. “Great, I’ll catch up with you in the library then?” He proposed, figuring he could dig around his room for books before hitting up whatever the school had to offer. He glanced at her then, giving a small nod. “Yeah, no problem. We can get more done this week then, that way next week isn’t as packed for you.”

Caught in an circle with fault at every turn, she pushed Mercer in the side. “Alright! Alright, forgive me, friend. You’ve made your point. And if you think the demiguise is in anyway interesting, I have no hope for you. Perhaps I should start looking for a new partner before we make too much progress?” She enjoyed that Mercer was someone she could joke with without hurting his feelings. They seemed the same in that way. 

She’d do her best to work on her share of the assignment prior to the moon changing, that way it was more likely that it wouldn’t interfere. “I think Hufflepuff and Gryffindor have a shared-pitch practice coming up? Let’s meet after that.”

@thelouweasley:

Gillian seemed to have had history with this girl so he let her take the reigns. He stood behind her in full support though most of it was so that he wouldn’t lunge at their target. One wrong word could easily set him off and several were leaving her lips. “Oh don’t act like you didn’t know or you didn’t do it. Everyone is literally scared out of their minds and yet here you are all comfortable and cozy! I guess that’s how evil people celebrate after they nearly killed someone!”

His lips curved into a wicked grin when his eyes fell upon her, “But now I get where the jealousy comes from. With a face like that, I’m sure no one bothers to look at you.” He got closer to her, hands gripped both of the arms of the chair she was in, “You couldn’t help but take out someone who looked better than you huh?!” His eyes narrowed as he scanned her face for remorse and found nothing. In a huff, he let go of the chair to let Gillian take lead once again.

Watching Louis only fueled her fury as she looked on, ready to grab the slytherin girl the the shoulders and lift her out of her chair, then shake the truth out of her... So that’s exactly what she did. She lifted the girl by her arms and pushed the chair underneath her away. “I don’t know what you’re taking about,” the girl pleaded, “Put me down, Greyback! You’re scaring me!” 

Gillian hadn’t even gotten to the root of her interrogation yet and she’d already put the girl down, looking her straight in the eye as Gilli’s face switched from vexation to worry. The lycanthrope’s biggest fear had always been being feared herself. She tangled her hands behind her back and stepped behind Louis; if he still wanted to retaliate, she would let him, but there was no way she was continuing.
