@modestybabebone-blog
i am very sorry @wandchoosesthewizard but i will not be doing a starter for you :( i may become active here again at another time, perhaps after the next fantastic beasts film, but at this time I’m not going to restart this blog.
sorry!
Starter call!
ok i’m going to try and get this blog active again, like this for a thing :)
Starter call!!
“i...” Modesty considered for a second- she had wanted to reply resoundingly in the negative, remembering that cooking lessons under her adopted mother’s tutelage had been far from fun, but then decided that learning from Fleur would be a very different matter.
“Yes, yes I would like to learn, so long as it is something nice like waffles or pancakes!” She allowed herself to smile, thinking back to the fond memories she had of being with her first mother, sitting on the kitchen counter while she cooked, watching her and being fed little tastes here and there.
Modesty thought. “I’ve not had them many times, but I think pancakes are my favourite.” She eventually decided. “What do you have on your waffles? Syrup? I’ve only ever had syrup once, but it was really really yummy!”
continued for @incantationis
Modesty screwed up her fists- her heart and mind were boiling and bubbling like cauldrons- she knew they were going to spill over, in some way or another, and usually she wouldn’t want someone to be there when that happened- however, could she do with someone to vent to, at this moment? Possibly.
“I...” She was choking on her distress and rage, and forcing the words out required such a large effort. “If you stay, it may not be pretty.” Modesty warned hoarsely. “And you must promise not to... to call a doctor or get me carted off to an asylum or anything!”
“Maybe there are even more passageways that haven’t been discovered.” Modesty pondered. “I’d love to visit Hogwarts- I’m sure it’s a wonderful place. I’ve never been to a castle.”
She hadn’t even seen a secret passageway, really- little nooks and crannies, good for hiding in when you were scared and upset and you didn’t want people to find you, she had plenty of experience with though.
She was good at finding them, they were abundant in every building if you knew where to look for them. The thing was, Credence had always known how to find them to- he was able to find Modesty when Chastity and Mary Lou couldn’t.
“A map? A magical map?” Modesty found the idea curious. “James and his friends must have known a lot about Hogwarts, and been very clever, to make such a map.”
She thought for a second; she wanted to see the object for herself. “Does Harry have it still?” Modesty though it was probable- it certainly was more likely than Hermione having it, unfortunately.
“I have lots of brothers and sisters too, and I think mother found it hard sometimes.” Not all of them were mischevious, but the choas that would naturally result from so many people, plus financial strain, had been stressful for her mother.
Modesty had not really comprehended that at the time, but she could recognise it now, looking back. “Maybe it’s better I’m not with them.” She said miserably. “I’d just be more trouble...”
Feeling like a burden, a nuisance, still caused her heart to pang, even after all these years.
“I’m not feeling very good.” Modesty replied, frowning in confusion at the question- when was the last time anyone who wasn’t Credence had inquired after her well being, emotional or physical?
Even he hadn’t asked often- he always knew what the answer would be. She always felt terrible, it was a permanent state of being, so there was not much use asking about it most of the time.
“Better than earlier though.” Modesty added. At least she could breathe now, didn’t feeling her heart beat wracking her entire body. She felt tired, and sad, but calm. She had enjoyed the lady’s stories.
Pride & Prejudice (2005) Sentence Starters
“Good heavens…. People.” “Have you no compassion for my poor nerves?” “If every man in the room does not end the evening in love with you, then I’m no judge of beauty.” “How can you tease me so?” “One of these days, someone will catch your eye, and then you’ll have to watch your tongue.” “Miserable he may be, but poor he most certainly is not.” “Count your blessings. If he liked you, you’d have to talk with him.” “I wouldn’t dance with him for all of _, let alone the miserable half.” “Do you like to dance?” “I thought poetry was the food of love.” “What do you recommend to encourage affection?” “No, men are far too easy to judge.” “Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why I will end up an old maid.” “Her Ladyship demands it.” “You’ve liked many a stupider person.” “All the world is good and agreeable in your eyes.” ”So which one of these painted peacocks is _?” “I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine.” “Your skills in the art of matchmaking are positively occult.” “I’m no longer surprised at your knowing accomplished women, I rather wonder at your knowing any.” “Our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask him nothing about it.” “Would you find pride a fault or a virtue?” “No excellence can be acquired without constant practice.” “My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.” “How happy for you, _, to possess the talent for flattering with such…delicacy.” “What a shame, for I dearly love to laugh.” “Believe me, no one would suspect your manners to be rehearsed.” “Dear, oh dear. You must be the shame of the regiment.” “Oh, _, do you never think ill of anybody?” “These are the kind of delicate little compliments that are always acceptable to the ladies.” “It is my intention, if I may be so bold, to remain close to you throughout the evening.” “It would be most inconvenient, since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity.” “Please advise me on what you would like most to hear.” “Oh no, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn.” “I hear such different accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly.” “I hope to afford you more clarity in the future.” “She’s just shy and modest.” “Men are eaten up with either arrogance or stupidity.” “There are few of us secure enough to be really in love without proper encouragement.” “We are all fools in love.” “I will not and I certainly never shall.” “He does not know her character as we do.” “I am perfectly serious!” “There are few people who have more true enjoyment of music than myself.” “You give your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.” “With 5000 a year, it would not matter if he had warts and a leer.” “You know perfectly well I do not believe marriage should be driven by a lot of money.” “Only a man truly confident in himself would admit to that.” “Can’t help but feel at any point someone’s going to produce a piglet and make us chase it.” “You have insulted me in every possible, and can now have nothing to say.” “Headstrong, foolish child!” “If they are amiable, they are so easily led that they have no minds of their own whatsoever.” “You’re free to go off and be jilted yourself.” ”Please understand, I cannot accept you.” “Oh, for heaven’s sake, _, don’t look at me like that.” “Not all of us can afford to be romantic.” ”I think that’s the most unforgiving speech you’ve ever made.” “I must confess, the view from where I sit has been rather grey.” “I’m well enough acquainted with you to know that I cannot alarm you even should I wish it.” “I do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before.” “What on earth have you done to poor _?” “I have struggled in vain and can bear it no longer.” “I love you… Most ardently.” ”I am very sorry to have caused you pain.” “Is that your opinion of me?” “Take care, that savors strongly of bitterness.” “Can you die of happiness?” “You may ask a question, I may choose not to answer it.” “What are men compared to rocks and mountains?” “Do you not think him handsome?” “How can I ever make amends for such behavior?” “You must know… surely you must know it was all for you.” “One word from you will silence me forever.” “You have bewitched me, body and soul.” “Your hands are cold.”

“if it’s broken then it can be fixed”
“all you need is time”
“we promised the world we’d tame it”
“i wonder what keeps us so high up”
“could there be a love beneath these wings?”
Modesty scowled, angry- for a moment, she had been filled with so much hope, but she realised it had just been another one of those things adults said, a reassuring statement that wouldn’t come to fruition. “If you don’t find them, I’ll do it myself.” She declared fiercely.
Then the girl clenched her fists. “Of course it would be safe for me, they’re my parents!” Even as she said it though, she thought about the times when their protection had faltered. “There couldn’t be any place better.“
Modesty shook her head. “Credence will want to stay with me. And my parents would be happy to take him in, I promise.” She knew they would, even after all this time.
She frowned. “But... why?” Why would anyone do anything like that for her, of their own volition? No one would, surely, unless it was for some selfish reason. It also astounded her that this woman had enough money for this- no one Modesty had lived with, or even known, really, had ever been wealthy.
Modesty shook her head. “No, my parents haven’t seen any of my other family members since they moved to America, which was years before I was born.” Perhaps that was why her parents had had so many children, to stop them feeling alone without family here.
Modesty smiled- it was a thrilling prospect. She wanted to keep the pieces of the wand her mother had given her, after all it was the only thing she had remaining to her from any family members, but a proper wand, which did the best magic possible, was supposed to have chosen you.
Modesty’s knowledge of witchcraft was only limited, but she had picked up on that at least. “That will be wonderful- I’ve never really had anything of my own before, something new, that wasn’t a hand-me-down.”
Next, the girl frowned. “Why particularly nowadays? What’s going on that means people need to be careful?”

“Someone is an evil bitch.” Modesty hissed venomously, before going suddenly pale. She didn’t even know for certain it was their mother, it could have been another Second Salemer, or even Chastity.
She shook her head. “Shut up for the moment, I’ll talk to you about it after I’ve got it sorted.”
Modesty steered him by his good arm over to the door frame and set his arm against it in what she hoped was a suitable position. “Ok... ok, this might hurt.” She breathed out the words as steadily as she could, positioning her hands, one on his shoulder and the other on his arm.
She took a deep breath, her stomach twisting itself in knots. She had no idea what she would do if this went wrong. Please let this work, please let this work... Her plea was desperate, but silent.
Modesty pushed sharply, felt a strange movement, whether it was good or bad she couldn’t be sure. “I... was that ok?” The words were gasped out.
“For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.”
Modesty raised her eyebrows mockingly. “Really? The first time?” She found that hard to believe. Then, however, she turned more serious, in an effort to give her brother some genuine support.
“What is it?” She asked. Modesty could tell that turning to God for advice when going through hardship, as their mother believed was the best way, would most likely not bring Credence any comfort or guidance, so they simply had to help and advise each other.
“A doctor without a hospital....” Modesty considered for a moment. “Like... a private doctor?” She had had little experience with any kind of medical care, and this was new to her. She hoped it meant, however, that it might be a little safer than going to a hospital.
Modesty looked up at the building in front of her- it looked rather normal to her, but she was still a little apprehensive. Her ankle was hurting a lot, however, and she was desperate for a chance to sit down again.
“Thank you.” The girl murmured- politeness had been schooled into her a long time ago; she had learned to show it instantly and unquestioningly, even to people whom she was wary of.
Ok guys, tomorrow I am leaving to go and live and work in India for twelve weeks. For the first few days I will be doing some training in Delhi and staying in a hotel, and I should have wifi, however after that it will only be limited, I expect, as I will be in a small rural village. I will try to be as active on here as I can, but just so you know I may not be as fast as I otherwise would, but it depends on how often I have wifi access. sorry! Hopefully will still be able to be on here with you guys lots :)
“Is this what a dislocated shoulder feels like?"
“I don’t know what a dislocated shoulder feels like, but I know what one looks like, and I’m pretty sure that’s one.” Modesty replied, eyeing his right shoulder warily, taking deep breaths.
She strode over to him steadily, doing her utmost to keep her composure. “What can we do?” She murmured, distraught. Modesty knew that taking Credence to a hospital or doctor would result in punishment for both of them, more hurt…
But if she tried to fix Credence’s shoulder herself, she might end up hurting him even more. The fact was, however, that they had no insurance and no money, so they couldn’t pay for proper medical treatment anyway.
“Ok… ok, I’ll sort it.” Modesty assured him, steeling her stomach and mind in preparation.
There would be questions to ask about the injury later, but beforehand she needed to take care of his shoulder.
