diamond in the rough

Bellatrix hadn’t gotten much sleep and that tended to always result in her being in a less than fair mood. All she could hear is someone going on and on and she was fed up. “Would you please do me a favor and please shut up? I wouldn’t want to make you. Or I would, but this is your only warning.”

“Pretty sure that’s referred to as sexual harassment in most places.” It wasn’t that she was looking for an argument, but avoiding one with someone with a superiority complex was never really on her list. “Besides, it usually takes a few shots of tequila before I’m into that high horse riding type.”

Amelia groaned and ran her fingers through her hair. It was her lunch break and she was trying to catch up on a bit of paper work. She loved every bit of being a Hit Witch but trying to adjust to the pace of it was the hardest bit. Amelia finished off her coffee. Amelia lent back in her chair and smiled once she saw a familiar face looking at her. “Hey. How are you?”

Dorcas wasn’t meaning to stare at anyone. Truth be told she was looking for someone who looked the least curious of her presence, for she was sure at this point she looked a bit like a lost puppy. “Oh—” with a quick glance behind her to make sure it was she the girl was speaking to, she took a step forward, sheepish written all over her face. “I'm—well, lost would probably be the best term,” she admitted after a pause. “I don’t suppose you’re in the mood to point me in the right direction?”

Flynn ran a hand through his hair, testing the waters for a moment before letting out a snort. “No way, I can live with being Jesus’s bleached asshole. I don’t know what you’ll do with your witchcraft and devlish magic. I don’t know if my hair, or my dignity could handle any more today.”  He joked lazily




“Ah— I thought I had you there,” she joked, snapping her fingers together. “But, for the sake of this conversation, don’t be surprised when I refer to you as The Son of God in meetings.”

Michael hesitated, scanning the room. “What is it that you want?”

[infalliblestorm-blog]

She smiled even wider. “Hmmm,” she drew out, strumming a few fingers along her jaw in thought. “Why don’t you surprise me? Something strong, though. Make it burn.”

Narcissa shook her head, there was no need for her to find anybody else, this was the kind of thing she could do in her sleep, which was a good job really as she was half way there. “No, no it’s fine.” She took out her wand and pointed it at the other girls arm and simply thought of the spell that would fix the other girl and just seconds later the girls arm was no longer green.




Alright, So maybe Dorcas held her breath wile the girl worked, but in the end it only made her look foolish. Before her eyes the skin renewed itself and turned back to a normal color. A sigh of relief fell out at the sight. “You, dear girl, are a miracle worker,” she exclaimed softly, a smile forming. She ran her hand along her forearm. “I was beginning to fear I would look like an alien forever.”

"I’m not even angry about that, I like food more than I like most people in general.” He hummed lazily. “Well that was anti-climatic. I was expecting it to be blue or something crazy like that, but instead I look like Jesus’s bleached asshole.” 


Shoulders lifted, head tipped to the side at his admission, for anyone who chose people over food were clearly doing it wrong, but a laugh managed its way out at his dramatic snippet. "If you weren't so against me and my dark magic I could give you that wow-factor with a wave of this wand?" She waggled her brows at her own words.

“If it works then it works.” Lily replied, trying to at least understand her motives. Lily nodded at the others question, “Yes. I’m Lily.” She said, tucking some lose hair behind her ear, “There’s lots of faces, I totally get that you nearly forgot me.” She said nudging her.

Her face scrunched momentarily before she nodded. "If it wasn’t for the hair, I don’t know if I would at all,” she admitted with a pull downward of her lips. “I’ve always had a thing about red hair, as weird and freaky as that sounds.” She gave a small laugh before offering her hand. “But, anyway, I’m Dorcas. You wouldn’t happen to be the Lily I’ve been hearing about in intelligence, would you?”

“Alright, deal.” He promised, offering her his arm, “So,  where exactly are you going?” He inquired, curious. He’d never really traveled outside the UK before.

Her arm laced through his with ease as she looked up at him. "You’re a real gem, Weasley, and I don’t hand out that compliment lightly.” A small laugh escaped, followed by a drawn out sigh and a shrug. “So far it’s Brazil then a place about thirty miles south Benghazi. I’ve been to Libya once, but this’ll be my first time to South America. Not to sound like a first year on the train or anything, but I’m slightly excited about that.”

Disgust settled onto Amycus’ features at the booth, but a voice captured his attention just enough for him to stop, the face attached to it being enough to make him linger. “You’re going to put that shit on your skin?” he questioned, eyeing the vial with a look of distaste. He was nothing short of a snob. “I wouldn’t trust putting anything from here on my owl.”

She noted the furrow between his brows, amusement settling in her chest, before, “I don’t think I stuttered.” Stowing away the vial, she snorted at his last bit. “Well I would hope not. Mr. Lee doesn’t sell salves for animals. That would be Mrs. Lee.” She knew the bloke could care less, but she enjoyed getting her kicks where she found them. “I could introduce you, if you like?”

“I can try, though I highly doubt I’ll find anything around here. Though I guess I could always find a sleeping potion.” She muttered the last part to herself genuinely wondering if it would help. Narcissa followed the other girls gaze, finally noticing that her arm wasn’t quite the colour it should have been. “Do you want me to fix that for you? Shouldn’t take too long.”

She laughed, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes considering the muttering at the end. Dorcas offered her arm out for inspection, slowly, but offered it nonetheless. “I would love to have it fixed, but if you’re too tired I wouldn’t mind finding someone else instead.” She wasn’t trying to be rude, not that intentions masked the vibe at all, but considering her arm was already green. She wasn’t trying to go down the rainbow with colors.

“I hate bandages, that is not a good simile to get me to do things. It works better if you bribe me with food.” He replied with a huff. “Fine.” With a sigh he yanked the cap off his head, the once brown locks now replaced with that of a golden blond. 

“I like food more than I like you,” she replied simply, one shoulder shrugging lightly. Then, when the hat came off, she was rather reaction-less before, “It looks….” But she had no words for it except, “Alright, I don’t remember what it looked like before. You sort of look like one of those marble statues they do of the gods in muggle museums though. You know? The ones that have the gold flaked hair, so I wouldn’t worry.”

“Before I fix you one, I must ask if someone will be coming to walk you home? For your safety.”

She was stuck for a moment. Walk her home? What was she? 12??? "Ahhh— yeah,” the belated response drew out. “Sure, my uh, my good friend…. Paul. Yeah, Paul, he’ll be here shortly.” Her brows rose triumphantly. “Now how about that drink.”

“Is it?” Bilius queried, glancing at Dorcas with a laugh, grinning at her, “and you think you’ll get bug bites in England?” He asked, teasing tone in his voice as he steppped forward, “But, suit yourself, buy snot. But, let me buy you a drink.”

“It is,” she mused, only managing half the reply in a mockingly serious tone before his laughs drew out a smile. “England might be safe from blood sucking, six legged vermin, but I can’t say the same for my line up with the bank this month, which lends me to accept your offer.” Her head tilted. “As long as you make it two drinks…and dinner!” One finger shot up. “Who knows what slop I’ll be forced to eat next week.”

narcissa b.

Narcissa shook her head to try and wake herself up, now was not the time to be looking for a pity party. “What I need is a good nights sleep and for a large percentage of the population to grow brains and let the professionals do their jobs rather than trying to fix minor injuries that they just make worse.” She let out a breath she didn’t realise she had been holding. “Sorry, I didn’t mean that, well I did. But it wasn’t aimed at you.”

Dorcas nodded emphatically. “Well if you find that good night’s rest, promise you’ll send it my way.” But the second bit caused her to look down at the haphazardly wrapped bandage at her arm, the one that labeled her guilty of the second reason the girl was lamenting her job choice, and a shrug followed. “No, no, you’re completely right. At this point I have no problem in admitting I should have left well enough alone. Maybe then my skin wouldn’t be green.”

“Don’t you dare touch my hat with your witchcraft, and dark magic.” He replied over dramatically. “I don’t even know what’s under here, It could be blue for all I know.. I just hope I’m not a fucking ginger."

She rolled her eyes accordingly. "And a piano could fall from the sky as soon as I walk outside, but you don't see me sticking to this dump. C'mon. Treat it like a bandage. The quicker you rip it off, the less likely it is to hurt."

Michael sighed and leaned against the bar. “Look, I would totally serve you but you look so done.”

[infalliblestorm-blog]

Her dance stopped as soon as his words did, and with her lack of movement came a scowl worthy of a thousand galleons. “Just because I’m enjoying myself doesn’t mean I’m over my limit, sir.” Then a smile and a smack of the counter. “I’ve just returned from a place that didn’t even know what whiskey was, so if you would….”

As much as I’d like to believe you, I really can’t.” Lily told her, trying not to look at her like she was crazy. “I would not want that stuff in my pores.” She attempted not to make a face, but she did as she found the idea of putting that on her own face.

With a shrug she stuffed the vial into her bag, then, “That’s what I figured.” While it was a pity more people didn’t open their minds to new approaches, it wasn’t her job to force them to. “I wouldn’t have tried it myself if I hadn’t been desperate to stop itching myself bloody at night.” Then she sighed, actually looking at her company. “We know each other, right?” Eyes squinted in thought. She didn’t want to name drop the Order, just in case, but since she was having trouble keeping up with the new faces it was a possibility. “Correct me if I’m wrong.”
