she flinches when you touch her, it is a c o n d i t i o n e d response from a lifetime of [battered nerves], and you c a n ' t imagine how it is that she could still ask you to wrap your arms around her, when so many other arms have been c a g e s. &&. josephine everhart. 6th year. gryffindor.

“I am, aren’t I?” He laughed, seeing as he was just teasing. Though in true Gryffindor style he sometimes got wrapped up in pride, he wasn’t one known to entangle himself in his own self pride. “It’s probably because he knows that you’ll react. The angrier you get the more he’ll target you, you know?” He said it as if it was all just a theory, but he indeed knew that to be true from his own little jokes. “Yeah, I’ll tag along. I’m done as well. Plus, we wouldn’t want Peeves to overhear us anyways.”

“doesn’t make it less infuriating.” she started out of the great hall, ignoring the looks from the other tables and some laughs from the far back, nothing she was too concerned with. “he has spies everywhere, i’m convinced of it.” her voice had the tone of teasing, although, she was partly serious. “at least he’s a fair poltergeist, picks on each house equally, i suppose.”

Though Remus felt for the girl and her situation, he couldn’t help but laughing a little. He wished he’d seen Peeves before and been able to warn her, but unfortunately he hadn’t noticed until after the water was dropped on her head. Instead of telling Peeves off, which he knew really wouldn’t do any good, he took off his robes and handed them over with a smile. He was wearing enough layers under his sweater to keep him warm under ten feet of snow, so he really saw it as no big deal. “Here take these so you don’t freeze. I’m also open to helping you take down Peeves. It’d be an honor to defeat that brat.”

“you are a blessing, remus.” she gratefully wrapped his robes around her frame, before even thinking about the size difference. it was comical how large they were on her, but she wasn’t about to complain. she was quite sure though, the anger pulsing through her head would keep her plenty warm. “i don’t know whatever personal vendetta he has against me, but what the hell?” she looked up to try and find the poltergeist again, but it seems he had disappeared off to drench another student. she sighed, wrapped his robes tighter around her. “i think i’m going to go back to gryffindor tower and change.i’m done with dinner anyways. coming along? we can get our revenge plan in motion.”

a splash of water, immediately followed by a yelp of surprised and thunderous giggling echoed through the great hall. josephine looked up at the poltergeist, an empty bucket in his hands and a grin stuck on his face. the young wizard was soaking wet, and fuming with rage.

       “peeves!” she sighed with disgust. “i swear to GOD i will end you, it’ll be my life’s mission.”

muggleveined:

it’s late and dreadfully cold when a shivering head girl steps into the gryffindor common room, COUNTLESS blankets draped around her shoulders. there were something comedic about how they seemed to dwarf her, and that it all implied that she went patrolling the castle looking like that, but it was doubted that anyone could laugh at her. she collapses on the couch that’s closest to the roaring fireplace, thrusting hands that are devoid of warmth right at it, as if it would warm her within seconds. but the sound of some forgotten paper being stepped on has her whirling, eyes wide. “ hello ? ”

she was exhausted. she had just served detention with mcgonagall, third one this week. she trudged back to gryffindor tower, stomping in loudly. “sorry.” jo stood wide-eyed, staring at the other girl, putting her hands up in mock defense. “didn’t know anyone else was in here.” the way the girl looked at her, almost like a deer in headlights, made jo stop from retorting with her usual attitude.

also, if you like this post, i’ll shoot you a quick message if you want to talk about plots, etc :)

(trigger warning for mentions of abuse)

josephine is my lil trash can and i love her so. she’s sixteen and lived in a muggle household until coming to hogwarts. both of her parents are muggles, though she never knew her mother. she did however have a happy life with her and her father, spending their days together in a small town just outside of manchester. it wasn’t until she received her letter, inviting her to hogwarts, did things start to turn south for her. in the mist of gathering her surprise and figuring out about her powers, her relationship with her father turned toxic. her now only escape from his abuse was hogwarts, still having to go back to him during the summer and winter holiday.

still, she remains a fire independent, and brave young woman. her fierce attitude and lack of a filter made her a usual occupant in detention. however, she does have a caring heart and always tries to do the right thing, even if she has to break a couple (a lot) of rules to do so. she is almost always reading. she is constantly trying to improve herself and her skills as a witch, it really being her only defense against the world.
