Callum: May I ask how the ceremony was for Anthony?

Allegra: You may.

Allegra: It was nice but sad.

A Spoonful of Sugar | Finn & Allegra

Glancing over at Allegra Finn nodded, not really knowing what to say to make her feel better. Or rather knowing there wasn’t a lot anyone could say, even though people tried. But just being there for her maybe that would be of some comfort. That and the muffin she seemed to want. “Nah you take it I’ve got enough blubber to last me till lunch” Finn grinned at her as he let her take it feeling a bit better about his presence now. Not that muffins were the end all or be all, but at least Allegra wouldn’t be sad and hungry. 

Turning toward her though as she started to talk about Erik Finn bit his lip slightly “Why would that ruin anything?” He asked eyebrow raised. He’d been out of most of the loops so he was unsure as to what he might have just stepped into. But in all honesty it didn’t matter. Allegra was his friend and he could talk to her if he wanted to. “I mean yea Erik is my friend but he doesn’t get to pick and chose who I talk to.”  He shook his head vigorously make a small face. Yea Erik was the last person who got to decide that. Especially when he was all wrapped up in Leia, and ignoring the fact that Finn liked him right now.  

“You really don’t have to give it to me.” She blinked, but took it from him anyhow. She didn’t so much mind the sympathy that some had developed for her, though Finely wasn’t her first choice for a source of comfort. But since Lucas was elsewhere, he would do. “Also you’re not fat.” Allegra glanced over to him. “You’re in lovely shape, especially for someone who doesn’t play Quidditch.” She picked at the top of the muffin, taking a few crumbs and placing them into her mouth before chewing them lightly and swallowing. “Not bad.” She said with another small nod.

“Erik hates me.” She blinked at him, before letting her eyes widen slightly. “S-so if you talk to me and he finds out, he won’t be happy. At all.” She took another small bite of the muffin before chewing and swallowing and looked back over to Finley. “Well he hates me and my -- and Lucas probably the most in this school, so if you’re willing to take that risk feel free, but you really don’t have to.” She shook her head, letting her hair spill over her shoulders and blowing a few errant strands from her eye. “Were your classes today good so far?”

graham-fraser-sterling:

Oh.  Okay.

“Sorry. I just can’t help it.”

[harrisallegra]

graham-fraser-sterling:

Why?

“I -- I guess it’s just how I am. Highly emotionally attuned, or some such thing.”

A Spoonful of Sugar | Finn & Allegra

Sitting on the stairs Finn let out a small sigh turning the banana chocolate chip muffin over and over in his hands. Magical theory had been a doozy especially since he’d overslept his alarm this morning and had to run there, grabbing this muffin as a breakfast consolation. But looking at it now there was something in him that just wasn’t up to it, the somber note of the last few weeks still ringing softly in his ears. 

Looking down at his muffin, Finn almost didn’t notice the golden head of hair that belonged to Allegra over the chocolate chips. She was sitting alone on the bottom of the stairs, something of which Finn thought was unusual until he remembered. The funeral. He’d seen her Genie post about it. Looking at her now it made a lot more sense. 

Biting at his lip slightly Finn hitched his bag up on his shoulder mind made up as he descended the stairs. “One of those days too huh?” He asked as he sat down on the stairs next to her “I mean I don’t know if its scientific or anything but I hear sugar helps make you happy” Finn gestured toward her with his uneaten muffin. “And I know what you’re thinking” He continued with a grin “but I didn’t make this so it should be totally safe to eat if you so choose.” 

Allegra sat herself down on the bottom of the stairwell. She fiddled with a few strands of her hair, wrapping them around her fingertips before letting them fall against her shoulders. It had been worth it to go home, and she was incredibly grateful that Principal Llewelyn-Aikens had allowed her to do so, but that didn’t mean that going home hadn’t brought up a whole new well of memories and feelings.

Especially when she’d felt Danielle’s warm arms around her and when Adam had braided her hair and stayed over at their parents’ house (she’d forgotten that he’d even moved out). She’d even considered not coming back. Withdrawing from Ilvermorny and going to public magical school back home.

But Anthony had been so proud when she’d gotten in, and so she’d returned. But some part of her still felt lost, and she knew that thinking in that way was probably not healthy, but she couldn’t help it. So she sat and pulled her legs against her chest, the skirt of her dress spilling out around her. 

She didn’t even notice when Finley came up behind her. “Oh.” She jumped slightly and glanced over to him. “Lots of those days, if I’m honest. Not just one.” She sighed. “It might. Or at least it’ll be something nice to eat -- but don’t you need it? Isn’t it yours?” Allegra bit her lip. “I’ll take it though, if you’re totally sure.”

“You’re friends with Erik though, aren’t you?” She blinked. “You probably sh-shouldn’t talk to me if you are. I don’t want to ruin anything.”

Based on facts and not emotions.  

“I can’t help but act with my emotions, though.”

GENIE: @allegraharris added a photo

Being home for the weekend to celebrate Anthony’s life was better than I would have hoped; though he’s still incredibly and horribly missed. Danielle can always make me smile though, thank you for coming to the ceremony, I wish I could bring you back to Ilvermorny with me. ♡

“I would depend. What position were you looking at?”

“Likely Keeper or Chaser.”

[harrisallegra]

graham-fraser-sterling:

“I guess that is true.  Though I don’t know if kindness is necessarily the most important way a person should act.”

“What is the most important way that one should act, then?”

[harrisallegra]

jinrimoon:

“You should. It’s a great distraction.”

“Do you think I’d do well?”

[harrisallegra]

hartofaspen:

“I’m sure it will, love. Let me know if I can help at all, okay?”

“I’ll be sure to.”

[harrisallegra]

graham-fraser-sterling:

Why would someone abduct my clothes and put them in another cabin?  This whole situation doesn’t make sense.

“That I don’t know. Some people can have moments where they show a lack of kindness.”

delaneywhittaker:

“Well, I mean..I was offering sympathy and you snapped at me. Which I mean, you’re allowed to do– you’re upset. But it just felt pretty damn confrontational”

“My v-voice wasn’t above a whisper.” She looked down at the ground. “I’m sorry. I’ll just go now.”

[harrisallegra]

jinrimoon:

When they pulled up beside her, Jinri let a small, crooked smile fall on their face, “Nice job.”

“Thank you.” Allegra bit her lip. “I -- I was thinking of trying to play on a team next year, maybe.”

Callum: I'm fine. All good again after the thing around Halloween.

Callum: A much better question is how you are doing?

Allegra: Been better, been worse.

[harrisallegra]

graham-fraser-sterling:

“Yes, that would be especially convenient.  Do you know where people would hide clothes?”

“I don’t see why anyone would, but perhaps another cabin?”
