Pandora and The Box @pandoraselwyn - Tumblr Blog

Is that PANDORA SELWYN we can see entering the Ministry of Magic? Our records tell us that they were born on OCTOBER 4TH and are a TWENTY SIX year old, PUREBLOOD who currently works as a SPELL INVENTOR AND WRITER FOR THE QUIBBLER. Some have said that they can be described as being CURIOUS, COMPASSIONATE & INSIGHTFUL, however, they also see themselves as being ABSENT-MINDED, STUBBORN & IMPULSIVE. Apparently, SHE look(s) a lot like EMILY KINNEY, whoever that is, and if they had to pick a side in the war, they would choose to REMAIN NEUTRAL

Key information / Biography: - Pandora was a happy child, spoiled with love and affection and being pureblood was hardly mentioned. Her parents were the youngest children of their families (older siblings had already done everything so not much expectation was left for them) and a Slytherin/Gryffindor couple to boot. So they raised Pandora the way they wanted, away from blood purity talk and the underlying violent ways of the sacred 28 - Hogwarts years came along for Pandora and walked through school with an naïve blind outlook, until 3rd year, when she watched one of her Selwyn cousins jinx a muggleborn student just because they were in their way. She had seen similar behavior before but she knew the student this time and it seemed to click in her mind. In the easiest terms, her eyes were opened to the cruelty that her world held. - 4th year went by with a blur of hormones, identity crisis, depression, and stress but eventually she grew resolute with her beliefs. She would be the kindest she could be to everyone, but always stand firm for those who needed it. She also gained her love of making spells and muggle items. - She went the rest of school trying to be the stubborn ray of sunshine that she thought her fellow students needed. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. But she met her Xenophilus during the time and started writing for the quibbler, so the negatives didn’t really matter. - Her family wanted her to work in the ministry, a family tradition but just like time she made clear her views of blood purity, they knew there was no convincing her. She wanted to make her parents happy so she interned in the magical creature department for a few years but everyone knew she was only happy when she was able to spend time with the creatures. She left the internship and didn’t look back. -Though money might be tight, she is the happiest she’s been. Engaged, writing in the Quibbler and trying to blow up the apartment with her spell mishaps. But she is not blind to what is happening around her, the conflicts are just as serious to her as it is to others, but just like in school, she tries to bring some light into people lives.

𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: nearby the shrieking shack fence 𝘸𝘩𝘰: open

It seemed like such a short amount of time had passed since James had last been in Hogsmeade. Not much had changed in that time either, regardless of everything going on in the world. Though he was still figuring everything out, he appreciated that some things didn’t change. Of course being back at the village meant there was one place in particular he had to visit. The shack stood alone on the hill and James hopped up to sit on the fence facing the village with his back turned to the building. For just a split second he was tempted to make his way up to it, except people walking by kept giving him a funny look.

“What? Aren’t you curious too?” he asked, a playful grin on his face. James wouldn’t give away the Shrieking Shack’s secrets, but he’d always been curious to see what other people thought of the place.

Pandora was only passing, every time she has come to Hogsmeade after leaving Hogwarts, she always made a point to look at the school and the surrounding area. Maybe it was a nostalgia, maybe she didn’t need to do it but she had the time so in the end it didn’t matter. She was walking along the outer fence of the village, taking in the snow capped land when she saw someone sitting on said fence. She was just going to walk past when she finally recognized them. She looked around to see if James Potter was speaking to someone else, but everyone ducked their heads and just walked quicker. Was all that really about the shack? She shrugged and headed closer, squinting her eyes at the shack than turning towards James. “I am quite curious, it seems the place has gotten much more haunted than when I was in school. I wonder what happened. ” She answered, a pensive look on her features. “It’d make a good article for the quibbler, don’t you think?”

OPEN

Lily had to admit, she had missed Hogsmeade. It hadn’t been so long since she’d graduated, but there was something like coming home in the twinkling lights lining all the buildings, the stalls and vendors filed along the sides of the street, the shouting of Hogwarts students as they raced to catch up with their friends. It reminded her of a time, not so long ago now, when things had been simpler. She sighed.

She had lost James somewhere in the crowd earlier, and she was standing on her tiptoes looking for him when she turned and bumped right into someone. She managed to right herself before crashing to the ground, but she quickly turned to the person she’d hit. “I’m so sorry about that, are you all right?”

Hogsmeade, such a small unimportant village in the grand scheme of things but Pandora still felt like it was the center of the world. Memories of the school trips and the ridiculous things she would buy just because it was silly. She only regretted not coming more after she got out of Hogwarts. After agreeing to meet up with Xeno later, she went off her annual winter season shopping, hoping to find something unique to gift for all her friends. The war and conflict far away in her mind, she went from shop to shop, coming back out with a bag or two till she had to pause to take a break. Her face turned towards the sky to get some of the cold air to energize her tired body when suddenly she bumped into someone, nearly tripping over her bags before steadying herself. She had realized that she was still moving when she distracted herself and an apology quickly came up but the one she bumped into her was already talking. The red hair and familiar face settled into view and she quickly put a hand out to stop her. “Lily! I am so happy to see you.” Pandora’s face lit up and shook her head. “Of course I am, It was me who wasn’t looking where I am going. Are you alright?”
