“Oh, I, um…well…because I don’t really want to be here. I came alone, Cain and I are dodging each other, and the only reason I came was to make an attempt at being social. Which clearly isn’t going that well.” Mira let out a sigh, lifting her gaze to meet his. “Sorry, you didn’t need all of that. Go, have fun. I’ll be fine.”

“He’s still being weird about everything then?” Marcus asked, shaking his head a bit. “Hey- you’re being social! We’re talking, are we not? You look lovely by the way.” He said kindly, offering her a smile. “No need for apologies, but I’m having fun. You should be too- it’s a celebration after all, yeah?” He reasoned. “Have you even danced yet?”

People seemed to find the couple’s happiness a bit boring, but with the amount of issues that had popped into her life over this year and Marcus’ lifetime, she thought it was rather fitting for them. After all, shouldn’t a couple be happy together? Fights occurred, and they had their battles when they arose, but this…this was what she wanted. A relationship that didn’t take too much thought, one that just flowed the way it was supposed to. “And that’s enough to scare him away and I’m perfectly content knowing that.” Bella giggled. “Smart move, Goyle.” She teased, her smile growing as they reached the floor. She didn’t hesitate for a moment to grab his hand and easily follow his lead. She had her lessons that her mother forced her into, a way for her to get off the pitch and into proper society, but nothing was as impressive as Marcus on the ballroom floor. It never fell short of taking her breath away at how natural it came to the other.

“Poor kid- doesn’t seem to even have a chance.” Marcus said with faux sympathy for the boy that had a more than obvious crush on his girlfriend. “I have my moments.” He told her, laughing a bit. Some would say they were exaggerating the level of protective Oliver Wood was over his youngest daughter, but Marcus knew better than that. Once she took his hand and stepped to him, the young man didn’t hesitate before leading them across the floor in a graceful waltz. Their moved together perfectly and his hand slid from her waist to the small of her back as he pressed her a bit closer while they moved. “Were you excited for tonight then?” He wondered, looking down at her as they moved and keeping only half of his mind on not running into other dancers as he didn’t even need to think about the rhythm of his steps at that point. They’re dancing then reminded him of the time out on the pitch that they had danced as well, the pair of them laughing as he spoke about his strict instructor. It seemed ages a way- back when their relationship being what it was didn’t even seem like a possibility.

“You could never fall short of my standards. You could be wearing nothing but a bag and you’d still look amazing.” Bella smiled. Marcus Goyle could never be anything short of extraordinary in her eyes. He was a total package and he made her happy, so, what else was there to know? “I think you intimidate the second year that seems to be in love with me. That should count for something.” She teased him quietly. She smiled into their kiss before linking her arm with his. Her eyes moved around the room as they made their was to the dance floor, still taken aback by how beautiful the Great Hall could be. “You know my father’s here, correct?” She asked curiously, wanting to just make sure he was aware they’d be watched for most of the night until the Scamander’s party.

The Hufflepuff male couldn’t do more than simply offer the witch a fond smile in response to her words. Oftentimes it seemed that others grew quite tired of the couple’s kindness to one another, but frankly, Marcus had enough fighting and drama in his life outside of his relationship- so to him how they were with one another was nothing short of perfect. “That’s because I’m three times his size and he doesn’t know anything about me aside from my name.” Marcus reasoned with a laugh as they walked through the crowd. “I do- which is the exact reason I stole that kiss while I could.” He explained, looking at her with a fair bit of amusement then. He knew better than most how overprotective her father could be. As they reached the floor, Marcus turned to the witch with a smile, bowing a bit as he offered her his hand. Though he was pretty quiet and awkward with most things, any type of ballroom dancing was something he had been taught to do since a child. It was like breathing at that point.

“And you look absolutely handsome.” Bella smiled as she walked over to her boyfriend, admiring him as she did. “In love.” She confirmed. “This is your only competition, though, so at least that’s some good news.” She teased him, a small giggle escaping her. As he pulled her closer, she couldn’t wipe the smile from her face. “Dance with me?” 

“Had to at least attempt to look like I am up to your standards- fear I may have fell short though.” Marcus said, his gentle smile letting her know that he was more complimenting her rather than truly insulting himself. “Brilliant news- I’d hate to try to intimidate anyone that took an interest in you. I fear I’m not intimidating in the slightest.” He joked, shaking his head a bit then. “It’d be my pleasure.” Marcus replied to her request, stealing a soft kiss from her before pulling away to offer his arm so they could make their way to the dance floor.

Mira sat silent in the corner of the Great Hall, hiding alone in the shadows. Her father wasn’t in attendance tonight, so she’d come to the celebration alone and was hoping to avoid Cain for the night. Lost in thought, she didn’t notice when someone sat beside her until she heard them clear their throat. “I’m sorry, did you say something?”

[marky-goyle]

“I asked why you were hiding out back here?” Marcus repeated himself, having wandered over when he spotted the witch that he had talked with when she was upset the other day. He had noticed she was keeping herself away from the crowd and wanted to not only make sure she was alright, but say hello as well.

“Isn’t this dress just fabulous?!” Bella asked excitedly as she gave a small twirl of her dress. “Mum surprised me with it for the celebration. One of her cousins in France made it for me. I think I’m in love.”

[marky-goyle]

“You look gorgeous, Bells.” Marcus told the witch, smiling brightly as he watched her twirl around to show off the dress. “In love, eh? I don’t have to be jealous of a dress, do I? Will I be trying to steal your attentions from it all evening?” He asked, teasing her as he stepped closer, reaching out to gently grab her wrist and pull her closer to him.

“I might just take that bet. Never underestimate what a kind word and a smile can get you,” Mira mused, not entirely sure if she could achieve the goal he’d set. “Maybe you don’t, but I do. It’s alright though, I’ve come to terms with it.”

“Never have and never will.” Marcus replied, smiling brightly then. It seemed that him and the witch at his side followed a bit of the same guidelines. His gaze softened at her words, noting the bit of defeat in them. “Don’t give up on your life just yet. Don’t settle. This is the only life you’ve got, you know? I get the feeling trapped thing- I’m pretty sure half of what I want to do in this lifetime is just a ridiculous hope, but I think I’ll really lose when I actually sit back and accept it.”

hiddenmira:

“Maybe we could start a club,” she joked, already feeling a bit better thanks to him. “One where purebloods can hang out in secret discussing all the things that are seen as improper by our parents. Like…muggle culture and…well, that’s really all I’ve got right now, but you get the idea.” Her smile grew as she took his hand and gave it a light squeeze. “What we deserve and what we are given aren’t always the same thing.”

“That sounds brilliant honestly. I dare you to try to get one of the Notts to show up.” Marcus said, laughing lightly then- glad to see that she was relaxing a bit. He gave her hand a small squeeze in return before nodding his head. “True enough, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept what we’re given.”

[marky-goyle]

hiddenmira:

Mira lightly placed a hand on his shoulder, offering him a weak smile. “I know what you meant, and you’re doing fine. Besides, I’m fully aware of how terrible my father is, that’s not news to anyone.” She sighed softly, running a hand through her hair. “I think I can trust him, he’s never given me reason not to. I just worry that if I push him…he might…snap. Does that make sense?”

Marcus relaxed a bit under her gentle assurance, feeling like a bit of a mess as he usually did when he got a bit flustered. He was constantly worried about offending someone because something he said came out wrong, but it seemed that the crisis had been avoided this time. “My dad’s a jerk too- as everyone knows as well. So I understand.” He told her, voice quieter than it had been as he spoke of his father, but it only took a moment for him to brighten back up to his normal sunny self. “It makes sense- and again I don’t know him, but I do hope he has your best interests in mind. You’re a nice person, Mira- you deserve someone who cares.”

“As much as I want to say that I’m okay, my recent actions say it all.” Serafina cupped her face right after admitting that there was something wrong. She was known to be a close book, not wanting other people to mind her business but as her feelings got heavier, she couldn’t help but be affected by it. “You’re a good tutor and you’re nice as well. No one would ever tutor Serafina Fawley for the reason they knew it would only end up worse but hey, you survived.” She said, trying to change the conversation.

“If you are wanting to talk about anything... then I’m here to listen. Judgement free and it won’t leave this moment.” Marcus told her, completely honest in his promises. He wasn’t known as the shoulder to lean on for no reason- he was as trust-worthy as they came. “Thank you- I appreciate that, but I think they sell yourself short. I think you do as well.”

[marky-goyle]

hiddenmira:

“Oh, no, he’s never hurt me. Not on purpose anyways, he would never. My father may have little care for me, but I doubt he’d marry me off to someone who intentionally harm me.” At least she hoped he wouldn’t, not that she’d voice her doubts aloud. “It’s just that Cain knows things about me…things that if he told my father…let’s just say my father isn’t a kind man and he has very little tolerance for me.”

“Good- I mean, good that he wouldn’t and hasn’t hurt you. Not good about your father- I mean, I didn’t mean anything by that either. It’s a complicated situation, trust me, I get that. All I meant was- never mind. I’m going to actually shut up now.” Marcus rambled off, turning a bit red as he cut himself off finally, shaking his head at himself then. “I just, uh- I hope that you can trust him and that he wouldn’t rat you out.”

[marky-goyle]

serafina-fawley:

“This tutoring thing is so unnecessary, Marcus.” She let out a deep sigh, running her fingers through the book before closing it. “You’ve been discussing it for days and I’m-” Serafina paused, not wanting to step out of the line. “I know you’re only helping me but it’s not sinking in.”

Marcus fell quiet then, resisting the urge he had to sigh and instead just nodding his head. He felt like a bit of a failure as a tutor and was about to ask her how he could help to clarify the material, but he suddenly realized that it might not have been his teaching that was the issue. “Is- uh, is everything okay, Serafina? Like- as far as life goes?” He asked.

[marky-goyle]

hiddenmira:

Afraid of caring for someone in such a way, Mira silently repeated to herself. Well she certainly hadn’t thought about that possibility. “I just wish he would’ve talked to me, but it was like once I said the words he didn’t want to even be near me anymore. All I want to do is talk to him and understand, but…I’m too afraid of what he might do if I try…”

“Well, he might not know it himself.” Marcus said, trying to see both sides of what had happened. At her admittance of being afraid of the boy in question, the Hufflpuff’s brows drew together. “What do you mean? I know he was angry at you but- he’s not mean to you, is he? I mean... he hasn’t hurt you or anything, has he?” He asked, knowing firsthand that sometimes pureblood men felt no qualms over such a thing.

[serafina-fawley-blog]

“You’ve been talking for like an hour already.” Serafina said with an annoyed tone. “I hate to break it for you but I’m just really not in the mood for school stuff today.” 

[marky-goyle]

“That’s kind of what you do in a study session, Serafina- no offense.” Marcus said, dark eyes looking at the girl with a bit of hesitance. “But... we can be done if you want. I already know this section anyways so it’s not a big deal.”

[marky-goyle]

hiddenmira:

Mira shook her head vehemently. “No, Cain doesn’t get afraid, not like I do. He’s always been the brave on of us two. I’m the skittish, shy, clumsy girl. He’s the one who always knows just what to say or do. Besides, even if he were to be afraid of something, surely it wouldn’t be me.”

“Even the brave can be afraid sometimes.” Marcus said gently before shrugging his shoulders lightly. “I don’t mean that he is afraid of you- more about caring for someone in such a way, but that’s just a thought of mine. I don’t know the guy well enough to know.” He added, giving her a small apologetic smile then. “I am sorry he got angry with you though. That wasn’t a fair response.”
