Creatures of the Night

Prof. Markus- Care of Magical Creatures

[lady-guinevere-archive-blog]

“Then the astronomy tower it is.” Guinevere was trying to lead the topic into another direction, away from Noah flattering her constantly because it made her blush and giggle like a school girl. “But only if you stop making me so many compliments because…. well, I honestly can’t even tell you a good reason.” She had blurted the words out without a second thought, and looked away from Noah while heading to the entrance door of the castle. So much about quietly leading the topic into another direction. “And I don’t really understand it either. Magical music I mean.”

Noah chuckled when Guinevere told him to stop complimenting her. “Alright, Alright. As you wish.” Noah winked at Guinevere. “I couldn’t help it.” He admitted. “The lyrics in magical music seem so odd and eccentric.” He shook his head. “I love looking at stars. I think stargazing is a really nice pass time at night. Sometimes I like to take my animals up to a nice hill and we all just hang around under the stars. What about you? What does Guinevere do around this vast castle?”

“That’s a pretty big statement to make, but if you’re confident enough to make it happen then I most definitely am.”

[oliver-mason]

“I mean come on, what’s cooler than riding a hippogriff?”

[astridarchived-blog]

“Oh, but that’s where you’re most definitely wrong. I have plenty on you.” Astrid poked her tongue out, gasping dramatically at his name calling. “Aren’t you meant to be the mature one?” She teased.

[oliver-mason]

“Oh yeah? How do you plan on winning with your small frame, pipsqueak?” Noah stuck his tongue out at her like she did him. “I may be old, but that doesn’t mean I’m mature!”

“To Kill a Mockingbird.” She said fingering the frayed pages. “I’t my favorite, Professor.”

“An excellent choice, really. It was one of the few muggle books I’d decided to read and has become one of my all time favorite books.”

[lady-guinevere-archive-blog]

“Are you sure? Because I honestly do not think my 15 year old self was that interesting with always sticking her nose into books….” Guinevere chuckled, blushing and brushing some strands of hair out of her face. If her students would see her like this now she would for sure be the topic of the school gossip again tomorrow. “And I know…. the thing with magical music I mean. Some of it is weird indeed. Like, disharmonious so to say….” She turned away from the library again. “Well we are both rambling so it is fine I guess? And we can go either to the Astronomy Tower or to the Owlery now. Your pick.”

[oliver-mason]

“I’m sure I would have found her to be very knowledgeable, as you still are. My nose was always in a book as well, I can’t say they were all educational, but books nonetheless.” Noah eyed Guinevere as she chuckled and brushed strands of hair away from her face. “I think the reason I find magical music so odd is because I honestly don’t understand it.” Noah admitted. “I haven’t rambled like this in a while,” Noah turned to Guinevere and offered her a genuine smile. “You’re very easy to talk to, Guinevere. I personally prefer the Owlery, as animals are my weakness, but the Astronomy Tower sounds interesting, too.”

“If I had a way out of it, I would but she’s threatened the lives of people I care about, so I can’t really back down. The only point is money and status, that’s all any of them care about. My mother needs to do a lot of things.’

[oliver-mason]

Noah paused for a moment. “She’s threatening lives? I’m sorry to tell you this but that’s insane. Is divorce an option?” Noah asked, concerned.

[treblesomexcamille-blog]

“So, where are these hippogriffs?”

[oliver-mason]

“They’re just outside. Are you ready for the awesomest time of your life?”

[astridarchived-blog]

“It’s not me you need to worry about. I said laundry and fire whiskey, I’m sure I’ll come up with something more before the snow falls. Oh, it’s on.”

[oliver-mason]

“You got nothing on me and you know it. Prepare to lose!” Noah childishly put an ‘L’ to his forehead while repeatedly calling Astrid a loser.

[wildlyimpossible-me-blog]

“Can I help you?” Rory asked as she looked up from her book.

[oliver-mason]

“Sorry, I was just wondering what book you’re reading?”

[vera-katsopolis-blog]

“Don’t look now, but I think that girl is staring at you.”

[oliver-mason]

“I wouldn’t be surprised, I am the most attractive professor on campus.” Noah joked.

[lady-guinevere-archive-blog]

“You are kidding me now - right?” Guinevere asked in response, her eyes a little wide. “I have been a Ravenclaw too! Even still am one now….” She shook her head, laughing a little. “We’ve really been both blind during our school years it seems…. that’s the only explanation that would make sense.” Then they finally reached the library and Guinevere had to chuckle again at Noah’s reaction to it. “Sort of, yes. Also because a lot of muggle creature was added for those who study things like fine arts and music.”

[oliver-mason]

“I thought you were a Ravenclaw from the moment I met you,” Noah laughed. She spilled of Ravenclaw qualities. “I guess so, which is quite sad. I would like to have known 15 year old you. I wonder what she was like.” Noah confessed honestly. “That’s good that they added muggle culture here, for the students with muggle parent. I have to honestly say that I prefer muggle music over magical music. Magical music is just too...weird.” Noah rambled on. He turned to look at Guinevere with an apologetic look. “Sorry, I’m rambling. Where to next my lady?” Noah joked.

[finding-ingrid-blog]

“No, most of the time when she does something, it’s for her own selfish agenda, nothing more.” Ingrid sighed, “I am trying, I’ve tried to do that but now with her forcing marriage down my throat, it’s hard to. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t have any sort of feelings for, hell I don’t know if I even want to get married. My life is a never ending bad year, once things start to good, something comes around to destroy it again.” She complained with a heavy sigh, “Sorry, I don’t mean to let this all out on you, I think I’m going insane.”

[oliver-mason]

“Don’t let her force you to marry someone you don’t want to marry. Marry who you feel attracted to and who you love. There’s no point and a forced marriage. No, no, don’t apologize. You’re absolutely right. I think your mom needs to loosen her leash.”

[astridarchived-blog]

“No, I was saying the opposite actually but fine,” Astrid laughed. “We can have a snowball fight, though you shouldn’t get so cocky, so quick. I am both Captain and Keeper of my team, that has to count for something. Deal, and when I win, you get to be in charge of doing the teams laundry for a month and bring me firewhiskey, but perhaps not whenever I ask for it.”

[oliver-mason]

“Well then Mrs. captain and keeper, lets see how well they’ve been coaching you. Psh, laundry? that’s all you got? Bring it.”

[lady-guinevere-archive-blog]

She chuckled, shaking her head. “Then you underestimate how huge the library actually is Noah. And I did, yes. And I guess it depends….,” sherugging slightly Guinevere ran her tongue along her bottom lip. “Which house have you been in? Like, it is really hard to keep track of all the students. I remember I’ve even had trouble to get to knoe everyone in my own house….  But still, you are right - it is really odd we haven’t met before then. But maybe we have and just don’t remember it?“

[oliver-mason]

“That could also be true. I’m better at judging sizes of animals rather than sizes of objects and rooms.” Noah chuckled. Noah paused when he saw Guinevere lick her bottom lip, reminding himself to keep his eyes on her rather than her lips. “I’ve always been a Ravenclaw. What about you?” Noah asked. He was almost completely positive she was a Ravenclaw, too. She was too smart not to be. “I’d most certainly remember you, Guinevere, if we had met before.” Noah told her. “Well, at least we’ve met now.” Noah gasped when he walked into the library. “This place...it’s never ending...”

[treblesomexcamille-blog]

“Thank you, that’s very kind of you and I don’t have doubts, you are a professor in your field for a reason.” 

[oliver-mason]

Noah chuckled. “Yeah, I guess that’s true. Well now I can actually my degree for something.”

[finding-ingrid-blog]

“Her reasoning?” Ingrid raised an eyebrow, “Her reasoning was to distance me from my brother, because she felt he was a bad influence on me, turns out the only reason why he was considered to be a bad influence was due to him being gay.” She spoke openly, she’d already gotten this far, what more was there to hide? Aside from the few other details. “The worst part, is that’s not even the worst of it all,” she shook her head. “I don’t think most can relate, it’s not exactly a normal situation. I guess I had just hoped that being back with my brother, being in a place where I actually feel at home would change everything, but thing after thing keeps piling up.” Ingrid nodded, forcing a weak smile. “Thanks,” she murmured, hugging Noah back.

[oliver-mason]

“I take that back...maybe she didn’t have a good reason.” Noah admitted. “You just have to keep your head high, and smile every chance you get. I understand that it’s not easy and everyone has their bad years or months, but you have to pull through and it’ll get better. It will.” Noah told her, putting his hands on her shoulder.

[lady-guinevere-archive-blog]

Even with her office being already full of books Guinevere couldn’t deny that her father had passed his love for them to her. “It is indeed yes. I bet there are still books I haven’t been reading yet, even when I’ve went to school at Hogwarts as well already.” Hopefully Noah wouldn’t think now she was a silly one - Guinevere normally wasn’t talking that much about herself, and even rarely joking around with others when it wasn’t in private. “And yes I know this here isn’t the same castle, but still… alright we’ll have to take those staircases over there. The library is down at the other floor.”

[oliver-mason]

Noah couldn’t resist the smile on his face that appeared when Guinevere talked about herself and let him get to know her. “Really? I find that very unlikely.” Noah replied when she mentioned that she might not have read all the books in the library. “You went to Hogwarts as well?” He questioned. “Considering we’re around the same age, I believe we would have studied together. I can’t understand how I could not have noticed a girl like you around the castle. But then again, my heads were always in some book studying.” Noah admitted.
