Cordelia barely didn’t see him. Truth was, she wasn’t looking for him, or for anyone, so her eyes didn’t pick up on the familiar boy at first. She was already a few steps passed him when her brain made the connection. Usually, she would’ve probably just continued and not bother talking to him, but she was bored, and needed some distraction. Doing an 180, she went back and planted herself right in front of him. “Wow, you must really love that book, big bro.” She said after a moment, tempted to knock the book down, but that would just be rude, and she wasn’t that mean.

Alec lowered the book when he heard her speak, sighing as he realized he had been holding the book upside down, not like she would have really noticed. “Hello Cordelia,” he said with a slight smile, feeling as he couldn’t bring himself to be so cheerful around her knowing what he knew. “It’s Hamlet, I enjoy it for obvious reasons, but how are you? I wasn’t hiding from you or anything.”

“Could you be a little more quiet? Some of us are trying to study in here, in case you haven’t noticed.”

“I feel like you are the only one left studying now Sev...” Alec said, glancing around the now more crowded common room.

“Never better, actually” Emmeline said quite loudly as the other students laughed at her. She even smiled brightly, not appearing to be bothered until they left and her face fell. “No, no clue, but I’ve got about three suspects in mind.”

Alec caught on quick with what she was doing and smiled back at her in attempt to make more believable until the students scurried off. “Hopefully none in Slytherin?” He wondered with a slight chuckle. It wouldn’t have surprised him if it had been someone in his house that had done that. Do you need help getting to your common room faster? I know of a portrait passage that takes you directly to the sixth floor, because you are up in one of the towers, right?”

Winter break was slowly approaching and with that the dreaded idea of having to go back home for the holidays. Maybe the thought brought others joy, after all it was a time to relax and be home away from schoolwork and exams, but for Alec it meant a time of disaster away from the only place that kept him safe. His father was growing more vicious and so were his demands, Alec couldn’t help but feel like in the end he was just going to have to join the death eaters even if that meant turning his back on anyone he ever cared about, included his sister. Yes, Cordelia, how was he going to tell her? Better yet, how was he going to tell her about the ultimatum his father gave him... to get rid of her once and for all. The demands were slowly driving him mad though he distracted himself by hanging out in the courtyard reading, or just practicing random spells. He was doing just that when he spotted Cordelia, wanting to continue the charade of avoiding her he turned around and placed the book in front of his to avoid been seen.

the weather was a bit hotter than usual for the time of the year and some students had thought it would be fun to spend the day out by the lake. Emmeline had been one of those students- except she took things a bit further by jumping in when someone dared her. The water was more up to the date with the season and had she not jumped out as quick as she jumped in she would have probably ended up frozen in place. As soon as she got out she noticed her clothes were missing and now she was only in her underwear and the blanket she had brought along with her. She didn’t want to endure the cold and long walk back but without much luck she began to make her way back, “please don’t mind me, someone thought it’d be funny to hide my robes…”

Alec ‘hated’ it when the weather was nice in the fall, it usually led everyone to be more chatty, upbeat, and distracted. He had not mind it when he was younger but now that it was his last year and he could feel his father constantly pressuring him to act, do and say things the way he wanted him to, he felt like was going to go mad. It didn’t take long to notice that most students were heading outside so he relaxed in the quiet common room until it was time for lunch. He ate in the almost empty great hall, watching the sunny enchanted ceiling until he eventually caved in. The Slytherin walked on aimlessly until eventually he spotted Emmeline. “Are you alright?” He asked with a concerned look amongst the laughter that surrounded and then passed them. “Have you got any idea who it could have been?”

rabastan always found great amusement in intoxicated people—he usually found them doing something they wouldn’t normally do and making complete fools of themselves. the morning after they felt invincible though was entertaining to him as well, especially those who didn’t drink regularly. the masquerade ball had definitely been an occasion for some to drink, and rab was watching the morning after effects. he put a hand to his mouth, trying to prevent himself from laughing at a younger year who clearly hadn’t received the memo the punch had been spiked. without even looking at the face of the person beside him, he leaned over slightly and nodded in the direction of the younger kid, “you think he’s alright?”

It was no surprise Alec hadn’t drink at the ball, he couldn’t lose control or mess up appearances; especially since that was one of the most important rules of being a member of a purist family, appearances always mattered. He had been busy, wasting time doing some reading until he was distracted by Rabastan. Alec glanced over at the direction he motioned at and couldn’t help the grin that took over his features, “Does it really matter? He’ll probably get better by tonight... or not.”
