if you were to ask her what just happened she wouldn’t have been able to tell you in so many words—just the fact that she was standing there and then the next she was being trampled on by people running in fear. milene had never been a blessed witch when it came to her health and she had already been standing on her feet long enough today with alexey that she had just got swept away in the crowd. “i’m fine,” she says, wiping her hands on her pants and making sure she still had her wand on her. “are you alright?” she asks, there’s still a bit ringing in her ears and she’s now side stepped herself out of the way of the groups of people running. “should we hide?” she wonders, thankful for once, that she had let their kids stay at home instead of bringing them here but wondering what was even going on the outside, surely they could apparate out of here?

WHERE: DIAGON ALLEY || OPEN 

it wasn’t just that sturgis’d grown tired of repeating himself, no that had happened ages ago;  the same set of lines, over and over, as he made his way up and down the alley. “Just stay calm, there is no need to push and shove! If you need assistance, get to an auror or flag one of us down! if you are uninjured, I need you to vacate this alley immediately! immediately! let’s go!” he snapped his fingers, hand rotating in that circular, universal, let’s hurry this along way, but …. really, crowd control was the least of his concerns – it wasn’t like he was going to be getting out of here anytime soon, no matter when the crowd thinned, and this clusterfuck was not going to be thinning out anytime soon, he was sure of it.

a cleared throat from behind caught his attention, though, and he put his game face back on, already speaking as he turned. “you alright there, mate? you hurt? looking for someone?”

she had been watching the whole thing from a distance before eventually cooperating with the aurors that were asking questions. “i guess you won’t have much of a clue when we can apparate out of here?” it seemed like everyone was just as confused as she was with the whole thing.

        the whole plan had felt shaky from the start as far as jess had been concerned, but there was little she could’ve said that would’ve mattered to anyone with the ability to change the plans - so when they’d gone in too early, it hadn’t been much of a shock to see everything backfire spectacularly. a quick word to patience - by godrick it was good to see her out doing what she was clearly more suited for, even if the only reason she’d been brought along was because they’d needed every remotely capable pair of hands they had - and they were off weaving through the crowd, checking in on people as they passed. “you should get out of the street - the cauldron was spilling over when i passed by, but if you think you can make it through the crowd the pestle and mortar was still letting people in.”

she had lost who she had come here with unsure of where they had gone now, she had looked at the wix for a moment before sighing, she was feeling claustrophobic and if she was being honest? not feeling all too great now. “thanks,” she offers them with a small smile. “i’m just trying to look who i came here with,” hopefully he had gotten out before her, but she wasn’t one-hundred percent convinced seeming as most attempts to get out of here were down now. it was getting darker, too, which didn’t help anything. “do you know what happened?” she was clueless, not having a word from anyone on either side.

“  fuck  ,  come  here  .  ”  in  a  strange  turn  of  events  ,  it  seemed  that  irina’s  first  day  off  from  work  had  blown  up  in  her  face  .  .  .  spectacularly  .  realistically  ,  she  knew  that  none  of  this  was  any  of  her  business  and  she  should  just  find  a  quiet  place  to  let  the  storm  pass  over  ,  but  for  all  her  aloof  nature  ?  irina  smirnova  had  her  principles  ,  and  while  she  was  not  a  healer  now  ,  she  knew  perfectly  well  how  to  do  the  job  —  she  supposed  making  herself  useful  could  come  in  handy  .  as  she  pulled  the  wix  by  the  coat  in  all  her  five  foot  glory  ,  she  let  out  a  tsk  —  eyes  moving  to  scan  the  crown  and  voice  clipped  as  she  continued  .  "  what  happened  ?  need  help  ?  "

there had been a moment of clarity of what she had been doing for her children, but all of that had been quite literally thrown back in the explosion, sending her back into the brick wall where she had been rested against with alexey, and then the chaos started. she was sure she had some kind of concussion now at the impact of it all and had gone to the healer that was most available since they were all hands on deck. “i don’t know what happened,” she says honestly, thinking of her children and if they were safe, always the worse when it came down to her kids. “i’m fine,” she says instinctly, holding the back of her head as if it had been missing. she was looking for alexey in the crowd having lost him.

milene had to go back to france to do some work at a couple of events, it had always been a complicated matter going back to france since the last time that she had spent more than a couple of days there she had found out that isaac had died when she got back. she didn’t like having to task people with taking care of her children but she knew that it was important to both of the women that her girls had spent quality time—especially amelia who looked so much like her brother. it was almost comical how she had ended up with twins in the same way. she gives herself a minute before knocking on amelia’s door, having brought gifts back for her, though their relationship was always a bit complicated but she had so much grief and love stored for her twin—that she didn’t know what to do with. “i know it’s early, the girls are probably still alseep i just wanted to see them as soon as i could.” milene never liked being vulnerable when it came to showing emotions of the heart, but they were her children and she’d do anything for them. “it’s not much, but there was this bakery that i loved as a kid that made the best croissants and macarons,” she holds the tiny box in her hands, “celestine and elodie like the pink ones so unfortunately you can’t touch those but the rest is yours.” she smiles briefly, never knowing how to hold herself since it had only been a couple of years since all of the deaths. “thank you for watching them, i appreciate it.” she would never leave her children with their grandparents on milene’s side, she’d rather gouge her eyes out than that, and they had been asking about amelia for a while now.

@hufflepuffkazimir​​

she wasn’t expecting kaz to show up, but she was glad for it anyway since her daughters, celestine and elodie, seemed to be his biggest fans. though if she were being honest, they just loved anyone that gave them a speck of attention. she had given the elves the night off making dinner herself and had always had enough food to feed a couple more people. when dinner was done and it was near the girls bedtimes she had walked over to kaz giving him a cup of tea before saying, “do you plan on staying the night?” she had tilted her head towards him, “it’s fine if you are, i know the girls would love to see you in the morning for breakfast.” she knew that JL must have been busy hence why kaz was here, she had quite the open house for family and kaz seemed to be on the list of family for her as of recent. “it’s fine if you are, just let me know if you need more blankets since it gets quite cold at night.”

milene wasn’t an easy person to get to know or like, and she had always known that. she was a paranoid person by default, the eldest in the family tasked with a too big of a responsibility when it came to caring about people in her family. she didn’t know what her feelings were towards barty other than unsure. she didn’t know his intentions when it came to her sister but she would always protect her siblings before anything else. she watches him like a hawk, keeping track of his movements before trying to loosen up, but she didn’t know how, she wouldn’t know relaxed if it slapped her in the face. “sure.” she says, her voice a monotone, her smile polite despite all things. “i’m sure you’ll be exceptional.” she says, her voice still neutral, “otherwise, what’s the point?” her parents had raised her and her siblings to be the best and expected nothing else, unfortunate for her she expected the same unless it was her own children. maybe that made milene to be a little bit cruel to others that weren’t her own family but she had dealt with enough trauma in her life to be so. “well, you know how family expectations go.” she says, reaching over to grab her glass and taking a drink. she had known that ellie was somewhat fond of the man before her so she would play nice, but if he had even faltered for a second she had no guilt in destroying him before it even started. “if you’re looking for commiserating about family issues i assure you that i’m not the one to go to.” she says with a slight chuckle. “better off with eric or viviane.” she didn’t give out commiseration to people who maybe deserved it, milene was very hard to please when it came to her sisters affections, thinking that ellie deserved the world and more.

bit of an usual place to catch up on her writing, but with the start of the school year approaching and having to keep feeding the death eaters new information, rita hadn’t had time to do her actual job, the one that paid the bills. the lack of sleep only made the noise even more of a bother to her. “excuse me? tone it down, would you? some of us are trying to work here.” 

it had been a couple of days since milene had last caught up with rita, and if she was being honest? she missed her friend, but would never tell her that. she had grabbed a coffee on her way to see her and had looked at the person that she had snapped at with a smirk before placing the coffee down on the table, sliding it towards the woman. “do you want me to kill them for you?” she says with a tilt to the head, “what are you working on?”

prcttyinpinks​: 

        there  was  a  fine  definition  of  what  dolores  wanted  to  give  milene ,  whether  it  was  to  be  good  or  bad  ,  but  she  knew  that  she  wanted  the  other  in  her  life  (  for  now  at  least  ) .  this  was  fun  ,  and  every  bit  electrifying .  it  was  almost  ill-fated  that  every  instinct  in  dolores  made  it  nearly  impossible  to  promise  a  gentle  future  ,  but  it  was  a  risk  she  was  willing  to  bet  on  the  blond  .  ‘  i’ll  believe  it  when  i  see  it  ,  ‘  milene  challenges  and  that’s  enough  to  egg  dolores  on  .  the  other’s  hands  begged  for  fire  as  they  gripped  her  waist  ,  and  dolores  moved  to  extinguish  it  because  there  was  nothing  more  intoxicating  that  a  woman  who  knew  what  she  wanted  .  there  is  a  small  noise  of  contempt  and  it  was  almost  instant  ,  the  way  dolores’  lips  had  settled  on  milene’s  in  a  fight  of  control  and  by  merlin’s  will  they  could  have  melted  into  that  wall  .  ❝  thought  i  was  the  one  taking  lead  , ❞  she  cannot  help  but  let  her  painted  lips  curve  into  that  wicked  smirk  as  one  hand  moves  to  smooth  over  the  contour  of  milene’s  body  .  a  finger  catches  against  the  draw  of  the  other’s  skirt  ,  trailing  expertly  across  the  stitch  as  if  to  tease  the  other .  ❝  but  you  wantme  ,  don’t  you  ,  milene  ?   ❞   there’s  victory  in  that  observation  and  it  only  further  encourages  dolores  to  slip  a  finger  to  grab  the  other’s  attention  if  it  wasn’t  already  on  her .  ❝ because  i  crave  you  and  your  touch .   ❞ 

milene didn’t like not being in control, she liked taking the lead in everything in every way, but when it came to things of intimacy she had a struggle of wanting to be giving while wanting to be selfish, it was what balanced dolores and milene out when it came to whatever this was between them. dolores was fun whereas milene felt like she was just starting to become who she was again after all of the death in her life. she smirks into the later kisses, her fingers digging into the others sides before she lets go, letting the other do what they want and closing her eyes in the sensation, though she does open her eyes again when dolores starts talking. her finger find themselves hooking into the others waistband, smoothing over the skin before reaching towards her back, she could dip her fingers farther, take over control if she wanted but she wanted to be adorned and taken control of even if everything else inside of her was fighting. 

she leans in, whispering into her ear. “you can have whatever you want mon amour,” she says, moving the other’s hands with her to raise up her skirt, and moving her fingers closer to her cunt in a more provocative way- completely opening herself up to the other. milene’s insides feel like they’re being flipped inside out, she takes her hand off of the others before moving it to dolores’ stomach onto her flat skin and upwards to feel underneath the other’s bra, fingers smoothing over the others breast, her mouth finally rests from their earlobe to their neck and making a mark that shows that milene was there, and this moment beloged to them.

she was skeptical of barty, but only because she knows that he had caused his sister grief once upon a time before. it’s only natural when your only husband is dead to a group that milene was trying to further in the ranks herself. it had been something she would’ve easily been a part of once upon a time but now it was more complicated because she had children. she had pushed the cup towards him. “well if you need it more, then by all means.” she says. watching him with a critical eye. “not much, if i’m being honest,” which, she never was with outsiders like barty, but she would never say for certain. “what about you?” she raises an eyebrow now, getting more comfortable in her seat. she smiles a polite smile at his last sentence with a shrug. “well, you never know with the allaire’s,” they were a sneaky family, and unfortunate for milene, they never told her much.
