HEADCANONS

-Lucas is an only child, his parents tried to have kids for many years, both of them wanting at least three but eventually gave up on trying. It was several years after that that they fell pregnant with Lucas. As a result, he’s been spoiled since birth. They showered him with anything he could possibly want and love him unconditionally.

-He’s always loved learning, his mother would take him to all sorts of museums growing up,history, art, science, he was like a sponge with the way he soaked up all the information. Despite his love of learning though, he did not want to go to hogwarts, he was more than a little bit of a mamas boy and the thought of leaving home for an extended amount of time did not sit right for him. It felt even crueler that it happened on his birthday of all days.

-Of course he went anyway and despite being as upset about leaving home for the term as he was, he still somehow managed to end up sorted into Gryffindor. Even in his 20s now, he doesn’t think the hat had it right.

-There isn’t a subject he doesn’t enjoy So much that when it came time to pick his major he struggled with it more than anything. He had gone back and forth for days between Muggle Studies and Ancient runes especially. He had been so fascinated with the career of a curse breaker since he was a young boy though, hearing the stories his uncle Oliver (aside from his parents, Lucas’ favorite family member) would tell about the cursed tombs in Egypt he had to break into would fascinate him. He hopes to do just that once he graduates.

-He has a greenhouse of magical plants back home that hes started with his mother, shes the only one he trusts to take proper care of them while he’s at school. He won’t even let his dad set foot near them.

-Ever since he got donut (cleverly named because he found him breaking into a package of mini ones that was in his families pantry) he has slept with him on his chest, he would happily let Donut stay in his cage at night but the rat does nothing but scream until he’s let out. Hes more needy than his owl by far.

He’s aware of how much his parents had longed for more children, he’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel the weight of that growing up either. His parents loved him, he was sure of that, but sometimes he feels like he’s trying to fill the shoes of several people.

Eavan was enjoying the Yule Ball, she had an attentive date who was a good dancer and wanted to spend as much time on the dance floor as she did. True, she might have chosen different music if she’d been in charge, the mix of modern pop and rock didn’t lend itself to any ballroom styles, but she’d decided not to complain. Still, it was overwhelming, the feeling of being on display and the constant demand for performance. She’d been dancing gracefully, smiling brightly, and laughing sweetly all evening, and it was beginning to wear. So she’d made vague excuses to Lucian and planned to catch her breath in one of the corridors off the Great Hall.

If anyone suspected that Eavan changed her destination to follow Lucas Wood outside, there were no witnesses to provide proof; she’d checked. Eavan had long since given up pretending that her interest in Lucas was simple curiosity. She couldn’t deny that his presence was soothing, that she preferred his company to anyone else’s, nor could she entirely curb the instinct to seek him out, but she could choose to ignore the reality of it. And she was very good at ignoring things. 

She ignored the cold that cut through her dress, the crunch of snow beneath her heels, and the familiar voice of reason telling her this was a bad idea. She did her best to ignore how good he looked in his suit, and the way his soft smile made her heart stutter and flip. She couldn’t ignore the answering smile that grew on her own face. 

“I’m fine, I’m just slightly hiding.” Something Eavan wouldn’t have admitted to anyone else, but she could say to Lucas because she knew he was hiding from the melee of the ball, too.

Lucas was admitedly, always happy to have a conversation with Eavan, he'd be lying if he said he hadn't always had a crush on the other, she was gorgeous, okay? and despite the popular belief Lucas wasn't blind, he was just better at keeping those particular thoughts and feelings to himself than others were. Besides, its not like he had any actual hope of anything happening with Eavan. As much as he liked her, he wasn't stupid, he knows the kind of family she comes from, he knows she had many things expected of her including marrying a pureblood, which, he wasn't. He knows he doesn't stand a chance so why should he get his hopes up? Why should he set himself up for that disappointment when he was perfectly happy just being friends with the other? It was better the have Eavan in his life in some way than to not have her at all because he went and opened his big stupid mouth. He frowns at her answer "hiding?" he asked curiously "What are you hiding from? Your date being an ass?" He doesn't even know who her date is, that doesn't mean he wont kick his ass if Eavan even hints at wanting him to. Thats what friends did, right?

When: The Yule Ball Where: Outside Who: @valeriaeavan

Lucas was having a fun time at the ball, he really was, he just needed to step out. He's never had the greatest social battery, especially in comparison to some of the other people in Gryffindor (seriously that house *loved* to party, it drove him mad sometimes. He would be fine to go back inside and rejoin the festivities in a moment, he just needed air and some peace and quiet. It's a beautiful night, too, really. There was a light snowfall but the sky was clear enough that the moon and stars were both bright enough to illuminate the grounds, or, maybe that was the light shinning out the windows from the party *inside*. Not that it mattered, really. It was almost a shame that the ball wasn't being held *outside*. There wouldn't have been such a need for the decorating committee because the scenery was perfect, in his opinion. He's so enthralled with watching as the snow falls, he almost doesn't hear as Eavan steps outside and approaches him. Almost. An easy smile falls on his face when he looks at her. She looks gorgeous in her outfit, really, he has no idea why shes out here alone, the idea of her not having a date by her side was incomprehensible, in his opinion. "Hey, you okay?" he asked.
