liability.

she did not like waiting. if she wanted something, she got it herself. she drew silver linings of her own. VIOLETA NOTT. 27. slytherin alumna. manager of the tutshill tornadoes.

He nodded, confused. “Of course. You’re always welcome here.” He took her hand and led her to his room.

vi followed james back to his room, drawing comfort from his fingers interlaced with hers. the truth was that she was more shaken up by the riot than she cared to admit, but she just gave him a shrug and a smile as she started going through his drawers, looking for an old shirt she could wear to sleep. “ i figured i should probably ask after letting myself into your house and waiting to ambush you. ”

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“Well, I meant in a legal way,” she commented, taking a drink of tea. “You know I don’t condone your actions.” She never had. She understood them, however.

“ i don’t condone them either, and yet... ” vi shrugged her shoulders in a gesture of both helplessness and self-derision. “ i’m a mess, vic. i haven’t even told james. i hate keeping things from him, especially now, with everything going on. ” 

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“Very true. Your parents are actually dementors - sucking the life and happiness out of everyone. If you ever want to ruin them, you know where to find me.”

vi smiled, but it was tinged bittersweet. “ i think i’ve ruined them enough. but thanks, vic. ”

[ofvioleta]

siriiuslypotter:

He laughed. “You’d probably get through the doors quicker.”

“ i feel like now i’m just tempting you to get yourself into danger, ” violeta teased. she paused for a second, biting her lip. “ it’s alright if i stay here tonight, right? ”

as team manager of the tornadoes, one of vi’s many responsibilities was to oversee the hiring of new members. normally players just transferred from another team, but every season they would hold tryouts for a batch of new hires to act as reserves. it was violeta’s least favourite time of year. the great majority of people who tried out either were half as good as they thought they were, or just wanted to meet the players on the team and were sorely disappointed when they found out that team tryouts were only for applicants who’d made it to the next round. they had just gotten through the initial rounds that morning, and violeta let out a sigh of relief as she sent off the last of the declination letters from the owl post office. “ honestly, ” she muttered to herself in frustration, “ who tries out for a professional quidditch team when they’re scared of heights? ”

[ofvioleta]

siriiuslypotter:

“You could wear anything - or nothing - and it would suit you.”

“ flatterer. but i wouldn’t wear nothing when i was rescuing you, that’s just impractical. ” she paused, smirking. “ that would be for afterwards. ”

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“Quidditch is pretty badass too, so don’t think that limits you.” She grinned at the mention of her parents. “See, you only think that because you’ve only known them a few years. You missed all the times they were absolutely horrid.”

“ trust me, i don’t regret quidditch. i love my job. ” vi smiled wryly. “ not to outdo you or anything, but i think i actually own the market on horrid parents. ” it felt strange, joking with victoire about something she hadn’t even dared to tell james for fear he hate her.

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“No, I completely get it. Vulnerability and.. being seen as that girl that can’t defend herself is frustrating.” She lowered her voice. “Especially when you’re not helpless or the one that needs saving.” She shrugged. “I’m a control freak too. Which is why I don’t live with my parents anymore. I’d go mad with nothing being how I want it. I think they also call that spoiled, though.” She laughed.

“ i wish i had joined duelling club, back in hogwarts. maybe then i would’ve felt more prepared. i was too focused on quidditch. ” she raised her eyebrow at victoire. “ oh, please, you’re totally just spoiled. your parents are so cool. ”

[ofvioleta]

siriiuslypotter:

“Yes, but we established that being an idiot is in my blood. My father was Harry Potter. It’s part of the life to be reckless and stupid.” He smiled and nodded. “Good. Next time you’ll just have to rescue me like the damsel in distress I am.”

she laughed. “ i always did think shining armour would suit me. ”

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“I understand. I wasn’t there for any of it. I had someone with me that told me to get out immediately and I listened, so I was spared the worst of it all. But, I heard it was scary. I’m glad you got out okay.”

“ i just hated feeling helpless, you know? i like being in control. ” she paused, then laughed. “ i’m not a psychopath, i swear -- just a control freak. ”

[ofvioleta]

siriiuslypotter:

“Glad you’re safe too,” he told her. “If anything had happened to you because of me, I couldn’t live with myself.”

“ says the one who ran into a dangerous riot to be a hero, ” she said wryly, but she was smiling. “ nothing’s going to happen to me. i know how to keep myself safe. ”

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“Nightmares or just worry?”

“ both? ” vi gave a half shrug with a small, sheepish smile, taking a sip of her tea. “ i’ve just been on edge since the riot happened. ”

[ofvioleta]

willavictoire:

“You look exhausted. Did you get any sleep last night?”

“ you got me. i had a coffee way too late, i didn’t get to bed until about 4 am. ”

[ofvioleta]

siriiuslypotter:

“You knew exactly what you were getting into the moment you kissed me.”

“ mm, and i’m going to do it again, ” vi said, leaning in and kissing him softly. “ i'm glad you’re safe. ”

[ofvioleta]

siriiuslypotter:

“You’re not,” he told her. “You’re wonderful and talented and powerful, but.. I’m a Potter. It’s not in my blood to let other people do anything for me. Besides, I had it handled for the most part.” He smiles, though. “Yeah, I’m alright. Not even a bruise on me. They were very nice - you know, other than the kidnapping part.”

“ well, i’m glad your kidnappers were nice, honey, ” vi replied dryly. she shook her head, allowing a small smile to form on her face as well. “ i guess this is what i get for falling for a potter. ”
