Isabella Potter ⊰ seventeen · uim · halfblood · she/her ⊱ ❝ she thought she was independent and strong, but she got one small taste of love and she was hungrier than anyone. she was ravenous. ❞
Antoinette clapped a hand over her mouth before the guffaw escaped, but only just. “Mhm, of course.” She nodded rapidly, lips pressed together to hold back the grip that threatened to split across her face. “That’s exactly what I meant. Will we make popcorn?”
Isa’s shoulders relaxed at the confirmation, and the excited grin quickly returned. “Of course. It’s no real movie experience without popcorn. Oh, and chips!! Maybe some candy too?” Was she getting too ahead of herself? Probably. “Just... pitching ideas, of course. We don’t... have to get them all.”
Isa’s face lit up with excitement at the reference. “Merlin, yes!! Let’s do right now. --- Wait, that was an invitation to watch Mean Girls with you, right? Or --- I mean --- am I reading this situation wrong? If I did, just --- pretend I never said anything. At all. Ever.”
miles searched for a drink, quickly finding an unmanned bar and opting to make his own. he’d just finished mixing it up when someone else approached, looking at him expectantly. “i’m not much of a bartender,” patently false, “but i’ll do my best. what’ll you have?”
Isa drummed her fingers against the bar, humming as she contemplated. “Surprise me --- uh, but make it strong. When I wake up tomorrow, I want nothing more than the blissful feeling of remembering absolutely nothing about the night before. But besides that, you know, do your thing. --- Actually, sorry, make it fruity? Like, strong and fruity. I don’t hate myself enough to want to drink something terrible just to blackout. Okay, well, I do, but like if I could have something super strong, but also super nice that doesn’t even taste like alcohol, that would be the best. ..... Also, like, maybe, an umbrella would cool. Just throwing that... out there. No big deal.”
hi hello drizzle back here with the complete mess that is isa potter!! i apologize in advance, she’s gonna end up in so many embarrassing situations but at least she’ll provide some entertainment??
as it turns out a super trashy lite version of leslie knope with no ambition tbh
yeah okay so!!! she’s a descendant of the part of the potter family that moved to america ages ago, so although she knows of the other potters she doesn’t actually know them personally at this point?? she’s an only child with no close cousins so like meeting the potters and the huge fam that comes with them is gonna be like ..................... wait what for her
but yeah it’s just her & her parents and she’s super close to them, she loves them so much she’s just !!! so yeah she wasn’t super excited to go away to boarding school and away from them when she was younger and considering that she just gets more embarrassing with each passing day she’s like why am i not homeschooled @ the folks explain
she’s not planning to go into a political career or anything remotely close to it lmao but her dad is actually the wizarding us’ current president
somehow did not end up nearly as charismatic or smart or anything as her parents tho and is just a mess™ so she mostly introduces herself only with her first name and tries to like not think of the fact that that her dad holds such an important position bc she doesn’t want to bring more embarrassment to the family lmao
she really wants to make her parents proud and everything and tries to behave properly she’s just ??? failing epically. always finds a way to embarrass herself and put her foot in her mouth and once it happens her pride kicks in and she just makes it worse and worse because she can’t just admit that she did something wrong so she just continues to dig her own grave like every second conversation it’s amusing to watch but she’s just a tragic mess
it is honestly a surprise she hasn’t run off to live in the woods and write trashy romance novels yet
she does become an author when she’s older but what she writes now is some truly trashy, unhealthy romance novels yikes but she’s still young and learning so there is hope still
atm working to become a healer tho, so she hasn’t told anyone that she actually wants to write bc she’s like........... i can’t actually do that lmao that’s a Wild thought
dramatic, proud, and hot-tempered af
also pretty insecure but she’s like we’re just gonna Ignore that and pretend i’m not let’s not make this worse than it already is!!
when anything remotely bad happens she’s like this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life and i cannot show my fave ever again so basically,,, the ppl in her school should be used to her Dramatic self by now
so hearteyes for romance but her view of it is............ really bad lmao and romanticised and so many of her favourite ships are unhealthy af which could help explain why her taste in men is too bad to even think about
has been pining after salmon shorts nate tuft for like an embarrassingly long time and like ??? knows he is trash tbh like he makes her cry all the time lmao but she’s used to it by now so she’s just like i’m just gonna stick with this he keeps my ego down
also like enemies to lovers is her fave trope and their families are political rivals so she’s gonna live in her fantasy for a while longer even tho she knows it won’t ever happen lmao
also it’s easier than actually dealing with ppl interested in her she’s just like............. wtf when that happens
lowkey terrified of actually falling in love despite how often she gushes about it and just runs away at the thought
anyways she has like mixed feelings on the tournament like on the one hand she’s !!! very excited about it and just the chance to visit all the other schools, and she’s like gonna try to become one of the champions to say she tried to make her parents proud but she’s not super excited at the idea tbh
but tbh she’s really not worried about actually becoming a champion lmao she may be a really good student but she’s a known Mess™ she can’t be chosen to represent the school she’s convinced she’d be an embarrassment
good at panicking and rambling, weak af for cute boys, has a good heart and tries her best just makes a mess anyways
Aries watched in amusement as the girl (American, he thought) slowly, but surely, dig herself deeper and deeper into a whole. It was kind of endearing. Funny. But endearing. He raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms with a small smile. He reached forward slightly, pushing the plate of chicken in front of the pretty blonde. “No, please, tell me more. How do I compare to one of the fanciest schools in the country and it’s…intriguing walls?”
And now he was smiling, even if was just a small one, which somehow made the whole situation worse. Everyone was cuter when they were smiling. Staring intently at the chicken instead as she loaded a large pile on her plate, she racked her brain for what to say next. Why did he want to keep talking to her? At least he wasn’t laughing at her, though with her ability to increasingly make a situation worse the more she talked, she didn’t doubt it was far off. “Well, they’re --- they’re not just walls. They’re Maladh walls. That’s like --- a whole different thing. There are no walls like these. Like, walls in general are boring, obviously, but these are unique, you know, what with their---” Isa paused, grasping for something to compliment them on, eyes glancing back to the wall behind him, “--- patterns, and all, so. Like, normally, if we were at my school or something, it would be a logical assumption that I was staring at you, because you’re... you, and I’m... me, but... but if we take into consideration the context and the environment around us, this becomes a very different situation. So... that’s that,” she finished awkwardly, shoving a forkful of chicken in her mouth to stop her from embarrassing herself further, face aflame, and unable to stop herself from cringing at the taste.
