“Death Eaters?” Amelia shrieked as she looked at the Prophet. “Just when I thought these fucks couldn’t get any worse. Death Eaters…”
Ava glanced up from the Quidditch formations she'd been examining over her toast.
"Death Eaters?" She said, incredulously. "That's what they're calling themselves?
littlebird-macmillan:
“We’ll get through it together,” Ava grinned and started walking towards the maze. She loved the atmosphere in Hogsmeade at Halloween. “You don’t need to get back to the pub any time soon?”
“Nope! I’ve been working the booth since this morning so mum is taking over for now. I think it’s only fair that I get to enjoy some of this.”
"You sure do, we've all come down from the school and you're stuck in a booth?!" Ava said in mock outrage. "It's despicable. Come on, let's go get lost and then you can't be made to work again!"
Laughing, Ava entered the corn maze, glancing over her shoulder to make sure that Rosmerta was following her.
littlebird-macmillan:
Ava bit her lower lip, considering how to answer. She wasn’t mad at him any more. She just felt sorry for him. He’d started by saying it would be bad for her to hang out with him, and now he was actively pushing her away. She wondered if he was still trying to protect her, or if he actually was this difficult.
“I got it. You don’t like people that aren’t your people.”
She smiled sadly at him and shrugged, half turning away again.
“I’m sorry to have bothered you, Severus.”
Severus rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, flustered. “I take it we’re not going into the maze then?”
"I'm not one of your people, Severus," she responded, still not looking at him. "Youre not looking for friends, remember? Why would we go into the maze?"
littlebird-macmillan:
Ava had opened the classroom door with her elbow, as her hands were full of an enormous textbook. She didn’t answer Lucinda until she had dropped the book onto the nearest table with a large bang.
“Merlin, sorry, that was loud,” she let out a heavy breath, standing with her hand resting on the cover of the book. “6.30? Damn. He should have been expecting me. I wonder if he forgot.”
Ava looked around the room, hoping what she was looking for would catch her eye.
“He didn’t say anything about leaving out some books for me, did he?”
“Probably. He was in such a rush to get out of here it seemed like he had something else planned. That or he was just happy a prefect agreed to cover this time for him.” Lucinda made a face, clearly not happy at being said prefect. “But he didn’t say anything about books.” She shook her head, glancing around the room. “They might be somewhere, though.”
"And you have to just... Sit in his classroom?" Ava glanced around the empty room. "Until he gets back?"
She bent down to get a closer look at the spines of a stack of books on a nearby table, but after a few seconds, straightened back up and shrugged. "He didn't even say what the books were called, just that they would help, so I wouldn't even know what I'm looking for. Do you mind if I hang about a little while and see if he turns up?"
littlebird-macmillan:
“I really want to go in the Haunted Corn Maze, but I do not want to go in on my own.” Ava put her hands in her pockets and rocked side to side, an encouraging smile on her face. “Come with me?”
“Well, I’m not going in there alone, am I? While people think me a bit mad, m’certainly not that crazy.”
"We'll get through it together," Ava grinned and started walking towards the maze. She loved the atmosphere in Hogsmeade at Halloween. "You don't need to get back to the pub any time soon?"
“Professor Slughorn will be back at 7:30,” Lucinda said without looking up, the words automatic as she heard the door to the classroom open.
Ava had opened the classroom door with her elbow, as her hands were full of an enormous textbook. She didn't answer Lucinda until she had dropped the book onto the nearest table with a large bang.
"Merlin, sorry, that was loud," she let out a heavy breath, standing with her hand resting on the cover of the book. "6.30? Damn. He should have been expecting me. I wonder if he forgot."
Ava looked around the room, hoping what she was looking for would catch her eye.
"He didn't say anything about leaving out some books for me, did he?"
littlebird-macmillan:
Ava counted to 10 before she answered. She didn’t want to prove him right when he said that everyone who was friends with James Potter was out to get him.
“You say that anyone who’s not your friend has been hired to make you miserable, but you won’t let anyone who’s not your friend become your friend. Not the best business plan, Severus.”
She raised an eyebrow as he got defensive about having friends. “You’re right. I shouldn’t have said that, of course you must have friends. Forgive me if I mention it, but that kind of sounded like a veiled threat.”
“I am not in the business of making friends, Ava. I have the ones I want and so far I haven’t been all too impressed by anyone else. Forgive me for being particular.”
“It wasn’t a veiled threat. It was a statement of fact.”
Ava bit her lower lip, considering how to answer. She wasn't mad at him any more. She just felt sorry for him. He'd started by saying it would be bad for her to hang out with him, and now he was actively pushing her away. She wondered if he was still trying to protect her, or if he actually was this difficult.
"I got it. You don't like people that aren't your people."
She smiled sadly at him and shrugged, half turning away again.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you, Severus."
littlebird-macmillan:
“I meant me, Snape. I meant deciding that I don’t look like I could take on James Potter.” Ava laughed incredulously at him. “Seriously? Maybe not everything is about you and James bloody Potter. Maybe not everything is a big attack on Severus Snape, because life is so tough for him.”
Ava took a couple of steps towards him. “And let’s be honest, it’s not like you can be fussy about who you make friends with, love. I’m pretty sure you don’t actually have any. So don’t insult me on mine.”
“Severus. My name is Severus.” He glared at her, crossing his arms, not the least bit intimidated by her. “You can blither on all you want about your opinion but seven years of torment is more than enough reason to assume anyone who isn’t my friend has been hired by him to make me miserable. Wouldn’t be the first time. Won’t be the last.”
“I have plenty of friends, MacMillan. Simply because we do not share any does not mean I do not have them. If you don’t believe me feel free to speak with Alecto or Narcissa. I’m sure they’ll both be very glad to prove your smart mouth wrong.”
Ava counted to 10 before she answered. She didn't want to prove him right when he said that everyone who was friends with James Potter was out to get him.
"You say that anyone who's not your friend has been hired to make you miserable, but you won't let anyone who's not your friend become your friend. Not the best business plan, Severus."

“Pretty sure I’m not judging them by appearances. They’ve made it abundantly clear they dislike me for seven years.” He rolled his eyes, this chick lived under a rock apparently. “”If you consider James and his herd friends then I think this conversation should be over. I’m not looking to make friends with sheep.”
“I meant me, Snape. I meant deciding that I don’t look like I could take on James Potter.” Ava laughed incredulously at him. “Seriously? Maybe not everything is about you and James bloody Potter. Maybe not everything is a big attack on Severus Snape, because life is so tough for him.”
Ava took a couple of steps towards him. “And let’s be honest, it’s not like you can be fussy about who you make friends with, love. I’m pretty sure you don’t actually have any. So don’t insult me on mine.”

Regulus quickly pulled away from the girl, “Merlin, I-what are you doing here?”
"You're in a Potions storeroom, Regulus. What do you think I'm doing here?" Ava indicated the shelves behind the girl that was most definitely not Regulus' girlfriend. "Not that I should have to explain myself, as I'm not the one doing anything wrong... I'm helping Slughorn with some extra healing potions. I needed some stuff."

“No offense but you don’t exactly look like someone who can take on Potter. But whatever.” He shrugged. “Yeah. Potter probably isn’t going to like you being nice to me. He’s a predictable asshole.”
"Firstly, have you never been taught you shouldn't judge someone on appearances? Secondly, if someone is actually being nice to you and invites to you to hang out, maybe try not calling their friends assholes. 'Cause that isn't going to make you many friends."
argentumviridis
“I-I’m not saying no…I just…You realize if Potter and his herd realize you’re being friendly to me they’ll probably stop being friendly to you.”
"Look, I can handle James Potter, and his friends." Ava put emphasis on the word friends, clearly indicating that she didn't like them being compared to animals. She shrugged and looked away from him. "And if being nice is one of the things Potter likes about me, he'll have to get used to me being nice."
“You’re sure no one can find us?” he asked the girl, but was cut off before he could even finish.
"Oh Merlin, I am so, God, I'm so sorry," Ava stuttered, jumping when she saw the couple in the otherwise empty room. "There's never anyone in here, so I didn't think to... I didn't..."
Ava narrowed her eyes slightly when she realised who she had walked in on. Her eyes flickered from Regulus, to the girl, and back again.

James walked up behind Ava and made an exaggerated sigh. “Haunted Corn Maze? I don’t know, we live in a castle with dozens of ghosts, how good could it be?” Shooting her a wink and a smile, he twitched his head towards the maze. “But I guess you’ve convinced me.”
"Oh, yeah, it was so difficult to convince you," Ava smirked at James. "Playing real hard to get. I'm impressed."
She turned off the sarcasm as she started walking towards the maze entrance, glancing over her shoulder to make sure he was following her. "I've heard that there's some pretty jumpy bits in here, you know.."

“I’m not scared of what’s in the maze.” The disdain was clear. “I was simply surprised you wanted me of all people to join you. I’d have assumed I would be the last person you would ask. If you asked at all.”
Ava rolled her eyes, wishing she hadn't bothered asking. "Look, you don't have to. I just thought, because we're both stood here, alone, we could team up. Interhouse communities and all that. But if you don't want to, don't."
Ava started walking towards the entrance to the maze.

“I mean…I guess? But I kind of promised my sister I’d be with her for the evening too.”
“Your sister has wandered off, by the looks of it. How about I promise to help you find her after we’ve done the maze?”
argentumviridis
“Y-Your’e asking…me if I…You want to go in there with me?”
“Look, I’m not above admitting that I’m a little creeped out by the maze, but I’ve also heard that there’s something really cool in the centre that I want to get to. You’re capable of blasting some creepy animated skeleton away from me, so yes. I would like to go in there with you.”
