Marlene Mckinnon

Was that MALESE JOW I just saw walking down the hallways? Oh wait, no - that was MARLENE MCKINNON. The FEMALE is a 21 year old GRYFFINDOR who is in 10TH YEAR. I heard the half-blood has chosen to SIDE WITH THE ORDER which explains why SHE is OPTIMISTIC and TENACIOUS, but also STUBBORN and RECKLESS. But who really knows?

Laughter left Mary’s lips as she sipped her drink, eyes roaming the festivities around her. Her thumb mindlessly playing with the ring now on her finger, the smile wide on her features. Ever since they’d decided to get married, the smile had never left Mary’s lips and she was the happiest she’d been.

She’d been watching her husband as he talked to someone, smiling fondly. It was only until she vaguely heard someone say something that she turned to see someone standing besides her. “Oh, sorry, I— yeah I have no excuse, I was too busy staring at Sirius.” She admitted with a grin.

[mcxmarls]

Marlene couldn’t help but roll her eyes -- it was playful though, and she was happy for her friend. “That is no excuse, you have all your life to stare at him.” she said teasingly. “I was saying congratulations and asking you if you wanted to dance. But if you’d rather just drool at your husband, I’ll find another partner.”

“Don’t make me beg you, it’s part of my duty to make sure everybody’s in high spirits.” The redhead smirked as she pushed the champagne glass into the other’s hand. “Drink up, we’re celebrating.”

[mcxmarls]

“I am in high spirits, Lils.” A laugh left her lips as the other handed her a glass of champagne. “I am just trying to not get too drunk tonight. Don’t want to end up doing something stupid.”

Elon grimaced as his wound on his chest was prodded. It wasn’t the first time he had ended up having to go to the Hospital Wing after a session with the dragons. It didn’t happen ever single time, he was very careful when it came to dealing with them, but today was just one of those days and it was part of the job. “I swear it is worse than it looks,” he told the other. “You should see the other guy.” ( @finestra-starters​ )

[mcxmarls]

Worry was evident on her features as she stood by his side watching Madam Pomfrey work on his wounds. Although when he spoke, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the other’s words. “The other guy as in the dragon?” she laughed. “Pray, tell me what happened to the other guy.”

Addison didn’t entirely enjoy being home. Pretending they were a happy family when they clearly weren’t was tiring, she didn’t want to have to pretend. It was why she spent most of her time at home cooped up in her room, head buried in a book.

Hearing footsteps, a small groan left her lips as she didn’t bother to look up from her book. “Whatever it is, can it not wait like, five minutes?”

[mcxmarls]

“Can I just stay here for a while?” she asked the other, not really concerned about her disinterest -- it was how Addy was. “They are -- well --” she shrugged her shoulders just as her father yelled yet again, fights between the parents was a common occurrence in the Mckinnon household, Easter or not.

“No, no – don’t blame yourself, the only person to blame is the one who killed him. It’s not your fault.” She didn’t know if she was making a difference at all but she wasn’t going to let him blame himself. She’d say this over and over a thousand times till it stuck in his head that he wasn’t the one to blame. She ran her fingers through his hair as he thanked her, feeling her heart break on hearing his sobbing but there wasn’t much to do for her except to just be there. “You’ll be okay.” she murmured, unwilling to let him go.

“I should have saved him,” He murmured hoarsely, hands trembling. His arms wrapped around her, holding her close to him as he cried. His tears soaked her shoulder, his body trembling. “I’m so sorry,” He whispered.

[mcxmarls]

It was heartbreaking to see him like this, he, wasn't holding it together but she couldn't expect more after losing a sibling. "I know, it's okay." she murmured hoping that her staying with him would be of some comfort if nothing else.

END.

“She is trying to cope! Would it kill you to be a little more considerate of your own sister’s feelings?” she snapped at him. “It looks like you have gotten to the point where you’ve decided to say ‘fuck everyone else’ just because you are in pain and honestly, there’s absolutely no reason to be this fucking selfish no matter how fucked up your life is.”

“We’re all trying to cope! I am trying to spare her fucking feelings, it won’t do her any good to worry about me. I’m not fucking worth it,” He spat out, shaking his head. “Fuck you, Marlene, you don’t get to call me selfish.”

[mcxmarls]

"Oh, please." she scoffed. "And you can't spare her feelings nicely? You know she's sensitive. This is not you sparing anyone's feelings. You're just being a dick." she snapped at him. "I thought you needed time to get back to normal but you're getting out of hand, Cain. You need to stop." She glared as he said she can't call him selfish. "What's that supposed to mean?"

[baredwitche-deactivated20200830]

mcxmarls‌:

“I did not trick you.” she insisted. “It’s vodka, try another sip and you’ll know.”

“Do you think me for a fool?” She sighed at the other. “I know how vodka tastes.”

[mcxmarls]

"No, but I am pretty sure your tastebuds are dead." she tried again, struggling not to laugh. "You really don't think this is vodka?"

[quevalerosa]

mcxmarls‌:

“I need to up my techniques then.” A chuckle left her lips as they entered the party. “All I see is people, where is the booze?”

“You really do.” Nieves confirmed, her eyes following the same route as Marlene’s. “No idea. Though if these greedy Ravenclaws already drank everything, we’re bailing.”

[mcxmarls]

Marlene gasped. "If that's what they did, we shouldn't invite them you our party when they win." she said firmly.

[mugglebcrnmary]

mcxmarls‌:

“I can, and I will.” she said flatly before a sigh left her lips. “I just want him to be okay.” He shook her head before she decided to change the topic. “Are you are Sirius broken up for real?”

“Mhm, sure,” Mary rolled her eyes, before smiling weakly at her friend. However, as the other changed the topic, she sighed. “I have no fucking clue. We’re on a break right now. It sucks. I love him with all my heart, Marls, I don’t want to even think what will happen if he wants to make the break permanent.”

[mcxmarls]

She wondered if Sirius even cared about Mary if he could hurt her this much but then again, she had hurt Cain when she loved him too. "Why don't tell him how you feel?" she suggested. "Maybe a good talk without him losing it is what you need."

[adelaofnabar]

Alice couldn’t remember a time she’d had so much fun. The Astronomy Tower was pulsing with people, and her friends kept handing her drinks. She was sure it was a conspiracy to get her to loosen up, but it was working so she couldn’t bring herself to change. Someone had turned music on and Alice looked up from the depths of her cup of punch.

“I love this song!” She said, voice approaching something close to rapture. “Come dance with me!”

[mcxmarls]

“I don’t see why not.” Marlene laughed, beginning to dance with the brunette. “What are you drinking? Give me some!” 

[cainabbott]

mcxmarls‌:

Marlene was appalled at the way he was treating his little sister, especially seeing her run away with tears in her eyes. She approached him with a stern look on her features. “Cain, she is your sister. She lost a brother too, just like you, and she is hurting. Why are you being like this?” Her eyes took in the state of him, how he had gradually slipped back into a different person that he used to be years ago. “Cain.” she said softly, stepping closer to him. “What are you doing?”

“Because I don’t need to be mothered, mine is dead,” Cain snapped, before rolling his eyes. “What do you mean, what am I doing? I’m trying to have fun when my life is a shithole, what does it look like I’m doing?”

[mcxmarls]

"She is trying to cope! Would it kill you to be a little more considerate of your own sister's feelings?" she snapped at him. "It looks like you have gotten to the point where you've decided to say 'fuck everyone else' just because you are in pain and honestly, there's absolutely no reason to be this fucking selfish no matter how fucked up your life is."

[cainabbott]

mcxmarls‌:

“Oh Cain.” she said softly once the other admitted that Caden was blaming him for Emrys’ death. “This isn’t your fault, you know that right? It doesn’t matter what Caden said. He was grieving. He probably didn’t even mean it.” It hurt her to see him break right before her eyes and she simply hugged him tightly hoping to hold him together because she didn’t know what else to do. “Yeah, I know.” she said, attempting a teasing tone when he said she was good to him, but she was too worried about him and her joke fell flat. “You’ll get through this, okay? I’ll help you get through this.” 

“It was, Marls. I was supposed to protect him, Winnie and Bryn. Now he’s gone, and I wasn’t there to stop it. It-” Cain swallowed, shaking his head. He wouldn’t admit to her that it should have been him. He didn’t want to speak, instead choosing to bury his head in the crook of her neck. “Thank you,” He murmured weakly against her skin, a muffled sob escaping his lips.

[mcxmarls]

"No, no -- don't blame yourself, the only person to blame is the one who killed him. It's not your fault." She didn't know if she was making a difference at all but she wasn't going to let him blame himself. She'd say this over and over a thousand times till it stuck in his head that he wasn't the one to blame. She ran her fingers through his hair as he thanked her, feeling her heart break on hearing his sobbing but there wasn't much to do for her except to just be there. "You'll be okay." she murmured, unwilling to let him go.

She had arrived a little late to the party with Nieves, and once she came across Lily it seemed like she was already way past her drinking. “Okay, last one.” she said and handed her a glass of water. If she was lucky, perhaps she was so drunk that she wouldn’t even notice the difference. 

“Cheers.” She grinned before taking a swing, frowning when she didn’t feel the expected burn her drink should have had. “Marlene…” She whined as the corners of her lips turned downwards. “You tricked me. That’s a dick move.”

[mcxmarls]

"I did not trick you." she insisted. "It's vodka, try another sip and you'll know."

[quevalerosa]

mcxmarls‌:

“And here I thought I was being all sneaky and sly.” she said with a laugh leaving her lips. 

“You were. I’m just clever enough to figure you out.”

[mcxmarls]

"I need to up my techniques then." A chuckle left her lips as they entered the party. "All I see is people, where is the booze?"
