Thank God For Girls | Morena and Valentine

Morena’s parents had never been particularly good at enforcing their rule that their daughter should attend regular family dinners; the rule was there and Morena was constantly reminded of it, but her parents never raised a fuss when the girl rejected dinner plans because of work. Morena often suspected that it had more to do with their embarrassment of her than any desire for her to work hard, but the girl didn’t mind either way. Still, the last time she had used her job as an excuse not to attend a family dinner, the look on her father’s face was enough for Morena not to push the issue the next time they asked. 

So here she was, sitting at her family’s giant table; the true irony was that her parents were nowhere in sight. Her parents and brother were running late from a Death Eater meeting, so it was just Morena and Valentine alone at the table, and the girl couldn’t have been more annoyed. She always avoided her sister-in-law when she could help it, but there was no escape this time. Resting her head on her hand, Morena leaned against the table and raised an eyebrow at the blonde seated across from her. “If they don’t arrive in the next two minutes, dinner is cancelled and we can both go home. Deal?”

Send me a ؟ for a random thought my muse has about yours

Morena really likes Yana’s bravery. She doesn’t know her well, but the few interactions Mo’s had with Yana, she’s been struck by her nerve.

Alton hadn’t meant to have such a noticeable reaction obviously making her feel bad when it wasn’t her fault at all. “It’s nice to escape into books, to be somebody different,” he mused wistfully a light blush on his cheeks. “All I can manage is getting most of the food into my mouth while I read. You didn’t, don’t worry,” he offered her a small smile. His family was to blame for that. “I was at the end of a chapter anyway, a good leaving off point before something interesting happens and I can’t put it down.”

Morena relaxed at the boy’s words. He didn’t seem to be upset at anything, but she was especially grateful that it wasn’t at her. She moved to the edge of her seat to hear him a little better before continuing, “I can’t put down books and start again later. I end up forgetting a lot of what happened, so I have to re-read half the book anyway. It becomes an all-day event, really.” Morena looked over at the book that was now on the table, and nodded towards it. “What book were you reading by the way?”

All Time Low | Morena and Anna

[morena-avery-blog]

annahiggs:

As of late, there was never really a good time to hang out with Anna. Right after work was when she was the most awake, but six or seven in the morning seemed to be a horrible time for other people. Midday seemed, to most, a great time for socializing, but that was when Anna was at her lowest, sluggish and sleepy. It didn’t fit the time of day. Her body clock was running at different hours than everyone else’s clock. Still, she knew she couldn’t avoid hanging around people forever, and blaming it on your work schedule didn’t go by easily with most of her friends.

Morena was one that Anna hadn’t seen hide nor hair of since school let out. Maybe it was because the pair were both working, but a midday meeting seemed to be the only way they could see each other. And, for once, she was really in the mood for a friendly face. One from her own house. After a rather nasty encounter with Atalia, she was more than eager to talk to someone more honest. Someone who meant what they said. Entering the pub, she easily spotted her friend, actually quite excited to be there, no matter how tired she was. She meandered over to the table, lazy smile on her lips. “Hey there, stranger. Is this seat taken?”

Eventually, a blonde head appeared close to the door of the pub, and Morena felt a rush of happiness race down her spine. She had seen others from Hogwarts after the school’s closing, that was true, but Anna was one of the few that she hadn’t bumped into. It felt strange, having to plan to see someone that had always been in the next bed over from her own for years. It’s what would have happened upon graduating after seventh year, and Morena knew that. But it was hard to get used to nonetheless. Upon seeing Anna stroll over to the table, the girl couldn’t even pretend to be coy and playful like Anna. She jumped up and immediately threw her arms around her friend, holding on tightly. 

“You have no idea how good it is to see you up and walking again, you honestly have no idea.” The last time Morena had laid eyes on Anna was when she was still recovering from the Hogsmeade attack. The school had closed only weeks later, and Anna was still in rough shape by the time it did. Morena pulled back only a little bit, ,still keeping her arms around her friend, her smile wider than it had been in a long time. “It is taken, actually. Girl named Anna is supposed to be here soon. She’s a total bombshell. Anna Higgs, maybe you know her?”

DEATH EATER LADIES: title sequence

𝒹𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝒹𝒾𝒶𝓇𝓎, my teen angst bullshit          now has a BODY COUNT

     Even if she wanted to tell anything, this wouldn’t be the place to do it. A crowd full of people, any one of whom might hear them talking? Morena was already taking far too many risks.‘ Keep your voice down, ‘ Avery hissed, grabbing her cousin’s arm tight enough to hurt. ‘ Do you want to get arrested? Because I’m sure there are Aurors here tonight who’d take you in just for talking about this. ‘ How was she not meant to be on edge, when there was so much that could go wrong? ‘ What does it matter to you, anyway? You can’t do anything about it. If something happens, it happens. That’s how it works, remember? We don’t get a say in it. All we get to know is what they tell us. ‘

Before she knew it, Avery had a death grip on Morena’s arm, and the girl couldn’t help but grimace in pain. She tried taking a step back from her cousin to get her arm away, but Avery was stronger than she looked. “Of course I don’t. But I don’t want to nothing either. And I certainly want to warn people who deserve to be warned, Avery.” She tried to keep her voice even, but she was certain that her cousin could see the fear in her face. “Because my friends are here, and they don’t deserve to be hurt. And even the people who aren’t our friends. You don’t want people to get hurt. I know you don’t. But we can warn them, Avery.”

All Time Low | Morena and Anna

This was it. After not seeing her friend at the festival, Morena was officially worried about Anna. She had only limited communication with the girl since they left Hogwarts, mostly because they were both busier now. But the attack had left them both shaken, quieter versions of their former selves. Especially with Marion gone, Morena didn’t know how the bridge the gap between her and her friend. She didn’t know where to begin.

But here she was. Sitting in a pub in Diagon Alley, Morena waited alone at a table, heart racing. Anna was due to walk in any minute. They had planned to meet here a few days ago, and Morena bit her nails subconsciously, hoping that Anna really would come. There was so much to say, so much that she should have told her friend a long time ago.

Alton made a bit of a face, it wasn’t mind reading that had allowed him to guess right just years of experience of how people described him. Those were some of the nicer things said, there were far worse. “When I get lost in a book it makes coming back to reality that much more jarring…” he sighed wishing his reactions weren’t so noticeable. He set his book aside deciding he had probably had enough embarrassment for the day. Reading in public was rather risky it seemed, only for him would that be the case.

Morena watched the boy closely, feeling her insides turn a bit at the face he made at her words. She certainly hadn’t meant to insult him. “That’s happened to me all my life,” Morena explained slowly, her lunch now completely forgotten about on the table. “I’m not what you’d call good at multi-tasking. I get lost in books too. It’s really not a bad thing at all. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad or put your book down.”

averypucey:

               She wasn’t used to this Morena, the one who stood up to her and spoke to her like this. It was confusing, but most of all it was annoying. Who did she think she was talking to? ‘ Why would I tell you anything? ‘ Avery spat back. ‘ I don’t owe you. I don’t like you, and I don’t care what you want. Unless you’ve got some reason that I should give you anything at all, then you might as well go away. ‘ Telling Morena the truth would, maybe, be the right thing to do. But she was too angry to care. It wasn’t like she knew anything anyway - not really. Morena didn’t deserve the truth from her.

Morena’s hands clenched into fists at her sides. Getting information out of Avery would be like pulling teeth. She should have expected this, honestly, but just the sound of her cousin’s voice was enough to infuriate her. She opened her mouth to speak, to fire back, but she paused to take a deep breath of air. After a moment, she unclenched her hands. “I’m not going away. Not until you tell me what you know. So start talking.” She folded her arms across her chest, feet firmly planted on the ground and eyes narrowed. “Because if you don’t, then a lot of people could get hurt. Is there going to be an attack? Yes or no?”

He nodded, eyeing her slightly as she spoke It took a moment for him to realize what she was saying. As soon at the words hit his mind, he took a step back. Half of him was angry at himself for hurting someone like he had, but the other half was angry at her. Angry at the girl who apparently was a Death Eater. “And why should I trust anything that comes out of your mouth?” He kept his voice low, but harsh. He wanted to take heed in her warning, but he also didn’t want to believe that she was being truthful with him. “You’re with them.”

Morena shook her head slowly, biting her tongue. This was the only possible outcome in this situation; Andrew hated Death Eaters, and it was as simple as that. She had been almost certain that he was going to kill her in that alley in Hogsmeade, But there was just enough hesitation in his face that day just enough for her to believe that he might take a chance on her. “Because I am here right now telling you that I think something is planned. Why would I tell you if I was with them? Why would I give you the chance to hurt me again? Why would I tell you who I was?” Morena looked around the crowd, and her voice lowered even more. “I’m telling you, I don’t know for sure. But there’s a whole lot of Death Eaters here right now, and I will point out every last one of them to you if you want. Something here is very, very wrong.”

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

Alton was on break grabbing a quick bite before he went back to his creatures. He could honestly say he loved his job since he had always been more fond of animals than people. How he had lucked into the perfect job he wasn’t sure but perhaps it meant things were looking up for him. He had become quite good at multi-tasking at least when it involved reading, using one hand to hold his book while his other managed to actually get food into his mouth. A loud crash sounded from the shop startling him out of his book and causing him to jump which in turn had a blush spreading across his cheeks. “Uh…yeah, easily startled,” he mumbled quietly noticing someone looking at him.

It hadn’t taken long for Morena to realize that her breaks were better spent in Diagon Alley instead of Knockturn Alley. And here she was now, eating her lunch on a bench outside of Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes. Her sandwich was nearly forgotten about at this point; it laid beside her as she was lost in thought, staring across the way at nothing in particular. Suddenly, a loud noise startled her out of her thoughts...but the boy at the table next to her seemed to be much more surprised than she was. She raised an eyebrow as he spoke, nodding slowly. “I was just about to ask. It’s like you read my mind, Jumpy.”
