Marlene bites down on her lip. However unlikely it was - it could, honestly, be anything. Could be one of Hagrid’s many w o n d e r o u s creatures; or even one of the creatures she had spoken to Xeno about. “Sorry; only speaking the truth,” It varies with Marlene. Some times she’s joking (often at times where she really, really shouldn’t be.) “Wouldn’t you?”

“I mean - who wouldn’t? But that’s - that’s completely besides the point right now,” Her voice became hushed as the noise approached them, and every time it got closer to them it felt like something was bursting in the girl’s eardrum. If anything were to attack them, Emmeline felt like she and Marlene could h a n d l e it. They were both thick skinned ( they were both great at duelling ) but Emmeline felt her heart start pounding as the noise grew, and with her hand tightening, she muttered under her breath, “I swear to Salazar.”

“An IMPASTA.” He snickered.

“How were you even allowed in the castle? And how did you become who you are today, Rosier?”

“ ‘ JUST got to cheer up ?? ’ there is nothing small, nor trivial, nor ‘ just ’-ish, about happiness, emmeline. you owe it to yourself to be happy -— and once you realise this ; wrackspurts will never be a bother to you anymore. they’ll never make you hear things you didn’t really, ever again. ” xeno replied with a smile, his head giving a small nod ; as if to affirm his point. “ let’s leave these dungeons and go for a bit of a walk about the grounds, then ?? nothing makes me feel down like spending time in the potions dungeon does, and i’d like to see those wrackspurts try and hang about your head after you’ve spent even a few short minutes immersing yourself outside in nature. ” xeno’s hand fell from its place upon emmeline’s shoulder -— and moments later, his arm was now extended her way ; ready for her to link with.

Xenophilius was definitely not the type to deal with wrackspurts, Emmeline thought. And if he described them to be things that only came when someone was in a dark place, Emmeline would be less than amused. But she had to remember that it was Xenophilius and there was no actual evidence of these things e x i s t i n g. 

She did need to be out, he wasn’t wrong. He also wasn’t the worst company in the caslte and it’s not to say Emmeline didn’t need more friends. She gladly wrapped her arm around his, though she didn’t do things like this often.

“Let’s go,” She turned with him and tried a small smile, to show that she was excited to be walking around. “The weather’s been nicer lately anyway - it’s the perfect time for a walk. And thank you for being so n i c e. What brought you down here in the first place? Just finishing potions?”

—- “you’re NOT going to cry, are you?” narcissa, reluctantly, marked her spot in the novel and rose to a stand. “i suppose i am now, aren’t i? salazar, emmeline. there’s nothing lurking in the shadows, it likely just was peeves. don’t most people leave behind their ‘ monsters - under - the - bed ’ phase when they’re children?” 

[ohemmeline-blog]

“How old do you think I am?” She couldn’t be more annoyed by her company. The Black family felt it fit to always be rude and see to it that everyone else was incompetent. “I don’t need you h o l d i n g my hand and walking me back. If you’re fine sitting and reading on the floor, I’ll leave you to your book and thoughts. I hope Peeves doesn’t get you.”

[mcritzaisms]

“Yes, honey, now would you move out of the way. Hard to move through the halls with little nobodies wandering about like they don’t have anywhere to be.”

[ohemmeline-blog]

“There is nowhere to be right now, Bella. It won’t actually k i l l you to ask nicely, or to be in less of a terrible mood.”

[maeums]

“ WELL, ” xenophilius began -— a slight quirk of his left brow and an accompanying half smile indicating that he was possibly about to go off on a tangent about a creature that may or may not exist : the wrackspurt. “ emmeline, when one’s ears are filled with wrackspurts -— all one has to do is simply think positive and HAPPY thoughts to dispel them. a bit like you’re trying to produce a patronus, i suppose. ”

[ohemmeline-blog]

She wasn’t shocked by the answer given to her. Xenophilius was the king of Hogwarts when it came to all things odd and usually dangerous, but that’s because he truly believed in them. And Emmeline couldn’t say what he believed in was false - she herself was standing in a castle designed for magical beings.

“Right, so I’ve just got to cheer up,” She snorted halfheartedly. “I can try and do that, but then maybe I shouldn’t go back to my Common Room.”

[ohemmeline-blog]

“You called me?”

[wynonna-waverly]

[offionagallagher-blog]

“Fucking hell, yeah, I did, and you – you caught that? I’m not just imagining things?” Rosmerta stopped dead in her tracks, looking around to make sure that Emmeline wasn’t hurt, that anyone wasn’t hurt – if there was anyone around. “You’re alright, right?”

[ohemmeline-blog]

“Yeah, I’m... fine,” She told the girl who seemed to be in a small haze of her own. “I think it was just a cat. I hear tip toes. Are you alright?”

Remus turned as he heard the noise, he furrowed his eyebrows and started to shrug it off. He was pretty sure he was probably just hearing things. It wasn’t until the girl in front of him turned to him.

“I believe so.”

[ohemmeline-blog]

“I’m hoping it was an elf,” Emmeline said. Her sudden fear turned into something of a happy surprise when she saw Remus was walking behind her. “I didn’t know you were down here, what’s your business?”

[rosierisms]

“No.” He replied smugly before continuing, “What do you call a fake noodle?”

[ohemmeline-blog]

Emmeline held herself, “What?”

[alprwett-deactivated20160114]

—— she’ll admit the noise was louder than she was used to ( perhaps even a bit startling at first ) but by the time alice looks back at her companion she’s calm as can be, words leaving her lips in a playful tone. ’ oi, lighten up vance. ’ an encouraging nod mixes with a look of confusion. ‘ the dungeons are OLD, n o i s y. don’t tell me you’re scared someone’s gonna “GET” us or something? ’

[ohemmeline-blog]

“Nothing’s going to get us,” Emmeline couldn’t stop herself and rolled her eyes. “I’m not trying to be paranoid - there are some mean ghouls and ghosts down here. All bitter about us being youthful and alive. Sometimes they’re mean. Other times it’s Filtch. That’s worse.”

[rosierisms]

“want to hear a joke?”

[ohemmeline-blog]

“Do I have a choice?”

[acsetics-blog]

ohemmeline. 

—- narcissa instantly regretted her inability to resist glancing up, ( consequent of the sudden noise, ) from the novel held between her fingers. she would have been  p e r f e c t l y  pleased to return, undisturbed, to reading. until the voice sounded out. “——— what, the UNMISSABLE, ridiculously l o u d bang? no, emmeline. i didn’t catch that at all.” 

[ohemmeline-blog]

“No need to be intolerable,” Emmeline snapped. She looks around the dark corridors. The Dungeons were by far the least welcoming area of the whole school, it was no wonder the entirety of Slytherin was the was the way they were. “It better not be Peeves with another egg show. But are you headed back to the Common Room?”

[maeums]

“ oh -— i wouldn’t go worrying myself if i were you, emmeline, ” xeno placed the palm of his hand upon his companion’s shoulder with a kindly smile ; casting a brief look over his own shoulder to scope out their surroundings with an untrouble gaze. “ it’s probably just some WRACKSPURTS clouding your mind. they’ll make you think you’ve heard things that you really haven’t, you know ?? ”

[ohemmeline-blog]

She would’ve flinched at the touch, but it was Xenophilius and everyone knew he meant absolutely no harm. Some people found his airiness hard to deal with, and he surely wasn’t someone the Vance family would approve of, but he wasn’t mad or anything. He was just... Xeno. “I’ve, um, never come across them, honestly,” Emmeline wasn’t quite sure how to act. “How would you get rid of them, Lovegood?”

[hurricanedorcas]

Marlene glanced around her, half hiding the pudding she’d gotten from the Elves up in the Kitchens. She didn’t really know when she’d intercepted Emmeline; and had just decided to take a stroll through the dungeons with her. 

[ohemmeline-blog]

“Yes, and I’m vaguely aware of the fact it could be literally anything.”

“I don’t particularly enjoy hearing that, Marlene,” Emmeline said. There had been incidents where wild animals had made their way into the castle and while the girls were both out too late - they didn’t deserve any sort of trouble. “I - did you really come all the way down here for pudding?”

[ohemmeline-blog]

Emmeline froze, her hand tightened around her sleeve. She was used to hearing noises in the dungeons, but that had been particularly loud. The person standing next to her seemed to have noticed the bang as well.

“You caught that, right?”
