JAMES:

The Gryffindor common room was packed, and judging by the amount of people outside of their common room as well, James had a feeling that their professors were letting them have this one. Most of the upperclassman were in partying to their hearts content, and he did catch sight of a few of the younger years in joining in. Having seen a couple seconds years with firewhiskey in their cups, James responsibly took their cups off of them. A few of them had been at the quidditch tryouts and at least one of them had made the team and the last thing James wanted was a bunch of drunk twelve year olds making stupid decisions. Having poured their shots into one cup and added soda to it James took the drink for himself like the responsible upperclassman he was. Turning from the drink table back to the crowd, he nearly ran into someone that close by. Seeing one Narcissa Black was a bit of a surprise, and he knew the verbal sparring match was likely about to ensue, so he took a breath and braced himself. “Ah, little Black, lovely to see you here. I’m surprised to see you in such an undignified place,” he greeted with a smug grin.

The common room was so large and yet it so easily crowded with so many hyper, drunk (and frankly a little sweaty) students. How her friends could enjoy this kind of atmosphere was beyond her, but she tried to make it work for a little longer solely for the fact that Mercy and Helena were around and could hopefully keep her sane until she left. She needed to get away from a fourth year that was practically breathing down her neck and headed to the drink table in an attempt to lose him. Her head was turned to look over her shoulder to make sure she was alone only to turn back and almost bump into James Potter. Narcissa huffed already annoyed that she had to run into him when there were so many other people she could have been stuck with. "Oh perfect, it wouldn't be a trashy Gryffindor party without you, Potter. Someone had to class up this party and unfortunately, that someone had to be me but don't worry I'll be out of that greasy hair of yours soon enough. I just need a drink."

REG:

There were few people Regulus would choose over being alone with his own throughts, and Narcissa was absolutely one of them. Someone he could fully be himself around. Even though he wasn’t entirely sure what it was like to be fully himself lately. So when his potential company for the night grew from none to one, Regulus couldn’t keep the smile off of his face. “Oh well…” That certain smile turned into a bashful one as he glanced away, remembering the sight he’d seen in the common room, a sight which included Mercy Flint in that beautiful dress. “…I contemplated for a moment too once I knew Mercy was going as well, but… I still slipped away.” He glanced back at his cousin then. “I was actually thinking whether you would like to walk for a bit? Go up the astronomy tower, perhaps?”

There was a glint in her eyes as she smiled at her cousin as he mentioned Mercy. Narcissa wasn't blind, they were her best friends after all so there were times where she believed she caught a hint of...something between them. None of them addressed it but if they ever did she would have no problems with it. "Oh yeah? Mercy was part of the reason I was thinking about going as well. She got this absolutely beautiful dress for it, maybe if you'd like, we can meet her there later?" She suggested, shrugging her shoulders not really minding what he chose either way. "You know me so well! A walk up to the astronomy tower sounds perfect!" She linked her arm with his and was already starting to make her way with him down the corridor. "How's that book you've been reading by the way? You've got to lend it to me when you're done, it looks really interesting."

For Tonight || Cissa & Lena

HELENA‌:

By the middle of the night, Helena was more than a few drinks in and feeling more alive than she had all summer. The weight of an arranged marriage, her parents impossible expectations and ever watching eyes, and of keeping the most important parts of herself locked away fell from her shoulders with each twist and turn of her body. Music pulsated around and through her and Helena’s body reacted accordingly. The dancer and musician in her were at peace for the time being, and Helena couldn’t imagine a better feeling than the one she had at this moment. It was as close to euphoria as she would ever reach without drugs, and she wanted to live in this moment, in this feeling, for as long as she was allowed to.

Catching sight of a familiar face, Helena smiled brightly. “Cissa, hey!” she grinned. Helena made her way towards her with a surprising amount of grace as she said, “I didn’t expect to see you here, but I’m glad you came. Are you having fun? You should come dance”. Helena had known Narcissa since they were toddlers, and she was both loyal and mildly protective of her. Giving her a smaller smile she mused, “I haven’t seen you since the school year started, how has it been?”

@princissa

Narcissa took her time before showing up to the party. She preferred spending her time with Regulus but also why wouldn’t she take advantage of an event to get dolled up for the evening? She liked dressing up for social events but also hated social events. Her plan was to show up, have a look around and pretty much be in and out. Make an appearance looking absolutely fabulous and then leave just as quickly as she had arrived.

What stopped that plan rather abruptly was Helena coming over to her, looking like she had already been here for a while enjoying herself. Narcissa smiled and nodded at what felt like a rapid-fire greeting. Normally, a bubbly personality like Helena’s could be exhausting for Narcissa to handle, she herself only managing to pull it off for a select few, but she managed to tolerate it for her. "Yeah, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to come but decided popping in for a few minutes couldn’t hurt.” She replied with a shrug. The question of if she was having fun, made her bob her head from side to side as if contemplating her answer. “I haven’t been here long enough to consider any of this fun but...it sure looks like you are.”

It hadn’t been too long since the school year started and honestly, Narcissa couldn’t say she’s been up to anything of interest. “You know, the usual. Getting a head start on classes, taking care of Prefect duties, reading my books. So I guess you could say things have been great so far.” While some people seemed more upset about the Ministers missing daughter, Narcissa was more focused on herself instead and didn’t feel all that worried. “How about you? You doing alright?”

REG:

@princissa·

It was an annoying sound, the heel of Regulus’ shoes knocking against the cobblestone on the steps of the spiral staircase he sat on as his leg would not stop moving up and down. Impatience was setting in, and the knocking sound wasn’t nearly as irritating as the noise of footsteps and giggles down the hall as he tried his best to hide and remove himself from everyone else who were getting ready to get to the party. He would’ve stayed in his own common room, if it wasn’t turned into a salon of very loud preparation. All he wanted to do was to read his book in silence, but it seemed that he wouldn’t get that anywhere in that damned castle. He let out an exasperated sigh and slammed his book shut, standing up and making his way down once again. He was preparing himself to get through the common room and to his dorm room when he saw a familiar silhouette, seeming to be just as out of their comfort zone as he was. “Cissy!” He called out, the pace of his steps increasing in the hallways towards their common room. There was a soft smile adorning his face as he approached his cousin, not minding some of the boys and girls running past them in their party dresses or their loud laughs. “Y’alright? Don’t tell me you’re going too.”

Truthfully, Narcissa wasn’t one for parties. She loved getting to dress up for an occasion but the socialization that came with attending a social event was exhausting for her. Any time her parents threw a party she would find the perfect time to sneak away into their library, grab one of the books and cozy up until she felt she was ready to go back. That was when she was forced to attend the party but this one, it wouldn’t matter whether she was there or not. Mercy seemed interested in the event, she even had a very cute outfit picked out so Narcissa thought if she was going, it wouldn’t hurt to stop by for a little bit.

At the sound of her name being called in the familiar voice of her cousin, she slowed down and turned to greet him with a grin. She reached out her arms to him as he came closer, placing her hands on his shoulders. “Hey, yeah I’m great. You good?” Narcissa felt she could safely say she knew Regulus very well, they were similar in a lot of ways and as people rushed by in their party attire towards the Gryffindor common room, Narcissa could tell that was not her cousins plan at all. “I was...contemplating, but you know how I am with parties. So if you're planning on staying in, I would much prefer that instead.”

MARY:

Most nights, Mary slept like a baby whilst she was a Hogwarts. By most standards, she was definitely a night owl, but she was good about getting a routine during the school year. A lot of that came down to Lily, and Merlin bless her for keeping Mary on task, or else she might never have completed her courses. It wasn’t that she wasn’t capable of the material, nor that she wasn’t intelligent, but she had a distinct lack of motivation to do anything school related until it was something she was wildly interested in. Which was why, when Mary had realized she was still too awake to sleep (thank you afternoon nap), she snuck out of her dorm and up to the astronomy tower.

There were a lot of comforts that being at Hogwarts brought, but perhaps the biggest one was that at any given time she could see the stars or the lake. All she had to do was go up to the astronomy tower and Mary was able to gaze at her two favourite things in all the world. Her mum’s had always said that her love for the sea and the stars was why she was so balanced, and sometimes Mary thought that maybe they weren’t wrong. Mary was the balance between invigorating and calm, compassionate and passionate, kindness and honesty, and optimism and naivety.

Standing near the edge of the tower, Mary was drawing charts of the stars. Despite the fact that it wasn’t class time, Mary was taking the time to get ahead in her astronomy class. Hearing someone else clear their throat, Mary turned her head and smiled at the familiar person. “Hi, Narcissa, welcome back. I’m here to do a bit of astronomy homework, unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good look at the sky without disturbing any of my dormmates. What brings you up here?” she asked.

She had seen the girl up here a few times before, Narcissa never really cared to remember her name. Marilyn? Maddy? She didn't consider them friends and she tried her best not to let their familiarity with each other become too strong. The girl liked astronomy, so did Narcissa and really that was all she wanted them to have in common. It would be much better for her if they simply enjoyed the stars in silence but it never really happened.

Narcissa glanced up at the sky to see what stars were out tonight, marveling in how beautiful it looked up there. Looking up at the night sky always seemed to relax her quite a bit so as much as she wanted to give the Gryffindor a hard time, she couldn't bring herself to do it. "Just thought I would get a head start for my classes. Fifth years haven't had an astronomy class yet." She explained with a shrug, her eyes still on the sky. "Would you be...almost done with your homework?" She inquired, finally looking over at her almost as if she were making a request for her to leave in the hopes she would get the room to herself.

MERCY:

Mercy had only been making small talk when the conversation was interrupted. Which was why, instead of intervening, she watched Narcissa with polite interest, waiting to see how long it would take for her company to realise her friendship with the girl came before anyone else. After a few seconds too long, and a pointed glare from herself, the boy moved over and allowed Cissa to sit beside him on the bench. She beamed at her friend, knowing she almost definitely had something to show her. When she pulled out a copy of Witch Weekly, her eyes began to shine with excitement. “Oh, you didn’t!” She immediately sat upright, knowing Cissa wouldn’t have had the chance to dog ear any pages for her like she normally did. Instead they could look through the magazine together. “This is why I love you, honesty! Have you opened it yet?”

"Of course I did!" She replied back, matching Mercy's excitement. Narcissa took pride in how well she knew her friend. While she was concerned sometimes about how excited Mercy was already about the prospect of marriage and falling in love, Cissa still wanted to be a good friend and share in her interests even if she herself preferred to keep her mind off of marriage until it actually happened. She shook her head at the question, placing the magazine down on the table between then. "I haven't even gotten a peak yet. I saw it come in and wanted to go through it together. So hopefully, it's not complete rubbish and we can find a few good things in here, but really I’ve never seen a bad issue.”

It was a rare sight to see Narcissa with a genuine smile on her face. Those were usually reserved for her family and her close friends which is why at the sight of Mercy, the smile grew a little wider. She made a b-line to her housemate all the way down the Great Hall crowded with students enjoying their meals. While she was a bit peckish, Narcissa has more important thoughts on her mind.

She stood behind Mercy who had a couple people on either side of her. Rather than making herself known and politely asking them to move, Narcissa cleared her throat and glared at the person next to Mercy when they noticed her. She tilted her head to the side and when they still didn't seem to get it she groaned and sharply told them, "move!" They seemed to reluctantly slide over a bit which was enough for Narcissa to slip in right next to Mercy like she wanted.

"Thank goodness you're here I did not want to go all the way down to the common room to find you." Narcissa started explaining to her, pulling her bag up onto the table and started to rummage through it. "I just got back from the owlery and look what came in!" She said with excitement as she pulled out the latest issue of Witch Weekly out of her bag and showed it off.

Narcissa knew it was getting late, she wondered if her Prefect status would be able to keep her out of trouble for roaming the halls past curfew. There was no reason for her to be going to the astronomy tower, they had yet to even have their first class but she was so eager to start. The Slytherin common room was so far away from the action, how come she had to be trapped down in the dungeons while others could look up at the stars as often as they'd like?

It was a long trip from the dungeon to the astronomy tower but somehow she managed to make it there without a hitch. She hoped that if any of the ghosts noticed her they wouldn't rat her out but they hadn't said anything so, for now, she was good. There was an eager grin on her face as she climbed to the top of the tower looking forward to the precious alone time she would have just her and the stars.

Unfortunately, when she got to the top it looked like she wasn't alone. Just one person, perhaps she had the same idea as her or was there a class and she just happened to be the first to arrive (or maybe last to leave?). Her grin fell and she pursed her lips together in annoyance. Narcissa cleared her throat so she could get the attention of the other student. "Hi, what are you doing here? I didn't think there was an astronomy class tonight."

[ @andieblxck ]

Entering the common room, Narcissa was focused on finding Andromeda. She had overheard talk already about Quidditch practices or tryouts or something that had to do with the sport and she thought it would be best to relay that information to her sister. Once she spotted her in one of the armchairs, she went over to make her presence known by sitting on her lap. “I’ve got some information that might interest you.” She started off, hoping to catch her sisters interest so she wouldn’t get booted off from sitting on her.

“I heard a couple of Hufflepuffs talking about Quidditch, something about practicing I think, probably wanting to make the team I guess.” To nobody’s surprise, Narcissa wasn’t much of a sports person. Quidditch didn’t matter much to her unless she got to use it to rub it in someone's face how much better their team was. The only reason she would bring herself to attend the games throughout the years was because her sisters were on the team. She may not care for sports but she did care for her family so supporting them was always going to be important to her.

“So anyway, it made me wonder what you’re planning on doing. Do you need to do a tryout or do some practicing? I’m not actually sure at all how this works.”
