Remus listened to the girl, nodding slightly as she nervously spoke. He smiled at her nervous chuckle and ran a hand over his face. “I’m not going to take any points away from you, that’s for teachers to do and I’m never going to be a teacher.” He smirked at her. 

He stood up straight and looked over her, “Right, so what we can do as my patrol is nearly over, we could both go outside and get some fresh air for about 15 minutes and on my way back to my dorm after finishing my patrol I could drop you off at your common room. So that if we meet anyone else, there is less chance of you getting caught as I can explain that I already deducted house points when in fact I haven’t.” Remus said in a very long winded fashion.

“Sound good to you?” He asked already heading towards the stairs to head towards the main entrance hall.

For a very long moment, Glenda simply blinked at Remus. “Oh.” That was...an unexpectedly positive outcome of the situation. A wide smile quickly took over her features - she knew there was a reason she had always liked the boy.

“That..that would be great, thank you,” she said, happy that everything turned out to be okay, but still somewhat on the edge, as if she was expecting him to change his mind any second now. She quickly caught up to his step, sending him a warm smile. “I know my common room is not exactly...on your way,” Glenda started, knowing she was heavily toning down the fact it was on the other damn end of the castle. “But I really appreciate it, it’s very kind of you to let me bother you like this,” she added with a light chuckle even though she actually did kind of feel like a bother.

She stayed quiet for a while until they reached the Entrance Hall and the moment there was no longer a ceiling above her she lifted her face up to the sky and smiled. “It’s not that I don’t love the castle, because I do, very much so,” she started calmly, “but there’s something incredibly relaxing about not having walls around you, don’t you think?” She felt, sometimes, that she could only breathe freely when she was outside, which was one of the reasons for her nightly strolls. “It’s sort of a pity we can’t see the stars so well because the moon is so big tonight, but it’s beautiful, anyway.”

Remus was glad that he hadn’t ran into many people that night, he didn’t have the energy or mental capacity to run after them. When he made it around the corner he could already feel a stitch for his face paced walking. He raised an eyebrow to see the Ravenclaw girl, he wasn’t used to catching Ravenclaws out of bed.

He listened to what she said and frowned slightly. “Walking…” He repeated. “And do you know its after Curfew? That you’re not allowed to leave your dormitory after 10pm. That doing so can risk you loose house points and maybe even a detention if you meet the wrong prefect or teacher along these corridors?”

Remus was always surprised when students were scared by him catching them in the corridors, he was never one to take house points away and usually gave them a tip of how to get back to their common room without being caught again, but he did like playing with the other students, scare them a little bit.

Glenda grimaced slightly at his words - of course, he was right, but she was not at all used to getting caught. She had developed the skill of sneaking around the hallways after hours a long time ago. Plus, there was the fact that her excuse to him had ben embarrasingly bad, pretty much not an excuse at all. “Yes,” she started slowly, “I am familiar with the school rules.” Despite her nerves, a part of her wanted to roll her eyes. She understood why he had asked, but the words sounded like he was talking down to her, which she despised. Still, she pushed down the urge.

She opened her mouth to say something else, something which could perhaps help the situation, but she found herself at a lack for words. Finally, she let out a sigh, her shoulders dropping, tiredness making an obvious appearance on her face. “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t sleep so I decided to take a walk around the grounds for some fresh air - I mean, it seemed like a good idea at the time,” she said honestly, a small nervous chuckle leaving her lips.

Resignation had already taken over so she just shrugged, a small sheepish smile on her face. “I understand if you have to take away some points, but, uhm, please don’t take away too many? I mean, I’m unfortunately not too big on the whole house pride thing, but I would rather not have the other Ravenclaws ostracize me because, well, because of obvious reasons and I - I’m rambling, yes, sorry.”

Remus walked down the corridors, he was on prefect duties that evening and he was rather glad about it. He was sure that the rest of the marauders were up to something in the south side of the castle, so he continued to check the north. He was beginning to feel rough as the full moon was coming up very soon and his aching bones were not ready to deal with running away from the teachers.

As he walked he ran a hand threw his hair, he always became nervous and anxious as it came up to the full moon. Not to do with his upcoming transformation, it was enevitable and he had grown to accept it. His anxiety about everything just grew, about his friends, his family, the bad things that showed up on his newspaper every morning. As he walked he chewed on his fingernails and stared out threw one of the large windows along the corridor.

He patrolled along the fourth floor corridor when he saw a swoosh of robes around the corner. “Excuse me, what are you doing out of bed??” He called as he paced forward to look at where the robes had gone.

It was well past curfew, as Glenda knew very well, but after about two hours of laying in her bed, trying and failing to fall asleep, she had decided to give up. So she had sneaked out of the Ravenclaw tower, slowly making her way towards the Entrance Hall. She would have loved to just roam the castle and enjoy the peace of the empty corridors, but she would rather not increase her chance of getting caught, so she decided to slip just outside of the castle walls, find someplace quiet and safe and stay there until some hope of sleep appeared.

Of course, the very obvious problem was that, to get to the Entrance Hall, she still had to creep around the hallways for a while and pray to whatever higher power there may exist to prevent her from getting caught. Obviously she did not pray hard enough as she heard a voice call out to her just as she had turned a corner. Glenda cursed quietly to herself. She had been a mere minute or so away from her goal. She considered making a run for it, but decided not to in the end - there were no classrooms she could slip into anywhere near and there was no way of knowing she could outrun whoever had caught her - so there was nothing to do but stay put and hope her housemates would not hate her too much for losing housepoints.

Face painted with a genuine sheepish expression, she turned around to face one Remus Lupin. Okay, it could have been worse, she told herself. Slytherin prefects sometimes had a habit of taking away just a few points more than needed and she wasn’t sure if she would ever hear the end of it if it had been someone from her own house. Lupin seemed nice enough to her. “Um,” she started dumbly, without absolutely any idea of what to say. “I was...walking?” she more asked than answered and then visibly flinched at her own lack of eloquence.

genie: if you had one wish that would come true and couldn’t be reversed, what would you ask for?

Peace. Really, I would just ask for all the close-minded people to stop spreading hate and prejudices around and maybe finally the wizarding world could start improving things that need to be worked on without this dangerous threat hanging above our heads.

Faerie & Nymph

faerie: if you could get away with anything, what would you do?

Oh, this is a tough question. I’m not sure, I would probably leave for a while - like travel around the world for a while, get to know myself a bit better before returning to finish school and find a job when I actually know what I want. But I would really love to do it completely alone, not staying in contact with anyone, including my family, but without anyone feeling hurt over this.

nymph: what are you like when you’re by yourself?

I don’t think there is a universal answer for this one, truth to be told. Sometimes I just sit in silence, immersed in one book or another, sometimes I wander the school grounds, either lost in thought or exploring, sometimes I dance and sing at the top of my lungs (don’t tell anyone, though, it’s pretty embarrassing sight), but most of the time I just feel really fucking sad and do everything to numb that down while trying to tell myself getting drunk alone is not pathetic and one day I will know what I’m doing with my life and things will get easier. All in all, it just depends on the day.

Vampire: Someone offers you a chance at immortality. Do you take it, and why or why not?

Hm. While eternal life sounds interesting at first I think my answer is still a firm no. I mean, I would have more time to travel and learn new things, but living while my loved ones slowly got older and eventually died? No, I think an eternal existence would be a very sad one.

The sun hung high in the sky, blissfully free from the shadow of clouds; January in Scotland’s highlands still made sure to keep the air cold and crispy, but Glenda figured that as far as she did her best to catch some sunrays, she would be okay. Besides, heating charms were simple, even for her mediocre skills in that particular subject. However, for now she was content with the cool breeze against her cheek and the sunshine in her eyes.

Glenda sat on a wooden bench, one hand holding a large cup of coffee (and if there was a chance it was spiked with some unfortunately cheap whiskey, well, that was her business only) and the other a copy of Bathilda Bagshot’s Decline of Pagan Magic. In all honesty, she should have her nose burried in Advanced Potion-Making, considering the test scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but she couldn’t quite bring herself to waste such a nice sunny day on forcing herself to study when doing some recreational reading in the courtyard was an option. Just as she absentmindedly put the cup down on the bench beside her to tighten the blue and bronze scarf around her throat, a figure paused in front of her, suddenly cutting off the warmth coming from the sunrays no longer reaching her.

Her eyes shot up as she blinked at the person, looking a bit surprised. “Um - sorry, but could you perhaps move just a bit to the side?”

Benjy chuckled and stood in front of her. “No being a buzzkill. It’s a fantastic night.” He held out his hands. “You need at least one dance. Come on.” He said with a smirk. He knew he was supposed to be here with Amelia but she wasn’t here yet and he couldn’t help but try to raise someones spirits. 

Glenda paused for a moment, eyeing the extended hand. A part of her wanted to get up and accept his offer, have some fun, but a slightly stronger part of her was terrified of the prospect of dancing sober. “I, uhm,” she started, hating herself for the way her nervousness made a very obvious appearance. Biting down on her lower lip, she tried to tell herself the music would be enough to make her relax and that this was Benjy for heaven’s sake, she’s known him for years. After a too-long moment, she got up, forcing a smile both for Benjy’s and her own sake. She always told people they shouldn’t care what others tought of them and that making an idiot of yourself was fun, so maybe it was time she took her own advice. “You know what? You’re right.” She took his hand with a grin.

Benjy was glad to see his friend, though he was disappointed to see her alone. So he happily sat next to her. “Of course I am. I’m the greatest of course.” He said with a chuckle and a large smile. “So how are you enjoying the ball so far? It looks pretty awesome. I’m surprised Hogwarts can pull this off.” He said as looked around, admiring the work that went into this. 

She let out a laugh, leaning back in her chair. “The humblest as well. Of course.” Glenda paused at his question, scrunching up her nose for a moment, making it obvious she didn’t quite agree. In the end, she sighed. “I don’t know, honestly. I mean, the Hall is beautiful, there’s no denying that, but...” she trailed of, unsure of what to say exactly. “Oh, I have no idea, sorry, I’m just being a buzzkill.”

Yule Never Be Alone || Open

Benjy definitely had someone he wanted to see and dance with here but he also definitely didn’t want someone to be alone during something so festive and happy. So he approached the first person he saw, without even paying attention who it was. “Hey, don’t worry. Your friendly neighborhood Benjy is here. No need to be alone.” He smiled brightly. Benjy fixed his bowtie as he looked at the person across from him. 

[glenchittocks]

Balls were not exacty Glenda’s thing. Sure, she loved the music and all the fun lights and drinks and okay, she loved parties - the Yule Ball was only somewhat that. The music and the beautiful decor were there, but so were professors and alcohol-free drinks. She couldn’t really bring herself to have that much fun while there were professors around, certainly. So she currently sat at a table in the corner alone, her chin resting on her palm, looking somewhat bored - she would much rather be somewhere jumping around to rock music with a cup of something fun in her hand; plus, the fact that she had no one to go with to the ball was also maybe bothering her just a little bit. Barely, though.

Suddenly, a voice broke her out of her thoughts and she looked up. Her fellow 6th year housemate was honestly just what she needed at the moment - if nothing else, Benjy was always fun. Glenda grinned up at him. “You are a saviour, Fenwick.”
