the lights had been dimmed, the sign on the door flipped from ‘open’ to ‘closed’ with a wave of her wand, and leda was nearly ready to go home as soon as she finished cleaning up her station and locking the register, when the tinkling of the bell above the door gave her pause. had she forgotten to lock the door? “uh, sorry, we’re closed, actually. we open at ten tomorrow----” she said, making her way to the front of the salon.

Send “slurred words” to hear my muse describe yours whilst ridiculously drunk.

it probably wasn’t the wisest idea, but leda could always claim plausible deniability (how could she have known members of the order were going to this same bar?) and she’d never been one to turn down a night out on the town----even if that town were a village, it was easy to blend in with the many muggle students. walking----not stumbling, definitely not---up to the bar, leda reached out to grab the bartenders attention, accidentally bumping into the person in front of her, “oops, sorry, didn’t see you there----if i spy a good margarita, it gives me serious tunnel vision.”

woah woah woah intro time again (dj khaled voice: another one)~~~

leda avana is a halfblood born on march 12 2003. because of her status as halfblood and her family’s seemingly neutral stance (and their luck at remaining somewhat inconspicuous and nonthreatening), leda was able to attend hogwarts under the guise of being at least somewhat deferrent to voldemort’s regime and was sorted into hufflepuff.

anyWAY hogwarts was pretty chill and leda was basically able to survive hogwarts, it wasn’t great as you can imagine but for what their family does it’s pretty important for them to seem like sort of okay w/ the status quo?

anyway leda’s older brother isaac helps the order basically he runs a flower shop that also doubles as a way to send messages to and from order members and other anti-voldemort agents (it’s actually very cool like different flowers will mean different things etc rian is a creative genius) but this only works under the guise of like, the avanas being a very mild-mannered harmless family.

anyway leda is a beautician working in hogsmeade at a high-end salon, it’s a really great way for her to eavesdrop and gather intel for the order since lmao ??? people tend not to pay attention to her while she’s doing their hair and such.

she’s not really active as a fighter in the order but will pitch in if need be, though she isn’t a fan of the thought of physical violence though she knows it is necessary w/ the way voldemort and the death eaters operate.

leda comes off as pretty shallow and superficial but it’s kind of a front (even tho like, she is a bit superficial and vain lbr) because it makes people more likely to underestimate her. her personality is pretty mellow but occasionally bubbly which also makes it easy for people to write her off but she’s actually very perceptive and intuitive?

anyway leda’s bomb dot com so come plot w/ me

When they tell you you are made of stars, do not let them forget what stars are made of. Stars are not glitter, not stickers on the ceiling, not there for decoration. Stars are chunks of collapsing galaxy. They are hundred-thousand mile wide nuclear furnaces that consume their surroundings into death.    They are not friendly; they do not exist to write poems about.

❝  They say Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel with paintbrushes no bigger than his finger, but could he paint a masterpiece on his face, at seven in the morning, with his daughter pulling on his skirt, and his husband hollering about how breakfast is late, and only 20 minutes to get everyone off to school? It’s funny, how when men create beauty it’s a masterpiece and when a woman creates beauty it’s just what she’s supposed to be. ❞
