Anthony Selwyn

“Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it."

"As I just said, you are her best friend’s brother. I asked Matt already,he didn’t know and since I can’t find Charlie or Rose I’m guessing the two of them are together." Emma explained once again, rolling her eyes. What was so hard to understand about that? "No, nothing’s wrong. The designer just sent sketches for the bridesmaids dresses and since she is one of them and my other ones are currently in France, I need her opinion on them."

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony's confusion lifted as Emma revealed her reasons for needing to know the whereabouts of Charlie Nott. However, it was in her answer that Anthony became overrun with guilt. How could he forget about her engagement to Matt? It hadn't even been that long since the party that was held in honour of the two. 

"Oh, I completely forgot about the engagement."

"Well, perhaps someone else has seen the book with legs, then? I feel like there’s a metaphor I’m missing out on. Something about our education walking away from us," Remus answered, turning his head to look up and down the corridor. Anthony’s offer made a grateful smile tug at Remus’s lips. 

"Help would be greatly appreciated, if it’s not too much trouble." 

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

A smile was all Anthony needed from the older boy to know what he had offered would help tremendously. Anthony laughed slightly at the metaphor realised by Remus. "It really could be, I mean, the knowledge that is being taught to us is lost on many of the students. It's sort of sad, actually."

         Help would be greatly appreciated, if it’s not too much trouble

"Okay, I need to know where you have looked already before I can start. I don't want retrace your steps, it would be pointless." Anthony said, his features becoming more focused with every word that left his mouth.

[loonyxmoony]

Having not realized he wasn’t making much any sense, Remus took a pause before trying again. “I’m looking for a book that may or may not have legs and perhaps a tail and some ears, I didn’t get a good look. In short terms, the result of a Transfiguration class gone wrong. Would you have happened to see it?”

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony's face relaxed to show what seemed to be a grin of sorts. "A book with legs?" he questioned the prefect of Gryffindor with amusement. "Nope, I am absolutely sorry that I am no help, but I have not seen your book with legs." Anthony said with a small laugh that tailed the end of his sentence.

"I could possibly help you look if you wanted."

[juliademir]

"That you would know where Charlie is, since she is your sisters best friend. What was so confusing about that?"

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

"Why in the world would you think that I would know where Charlie Nott is?" Anthony asked with a expression of curiosity resting subtly on his face. "...Wait, why do you even want to find her anyway? Is something wrong?"

[mr-matthew-nott-deactivated2014]

"That you’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny…" he said with a shit eating grin as his hands slid the other boys things. "But seriously man get your shit off mine."

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

"I will have you know, sir, that my mother dresses me better than you dress yourself." Anthony retorted with a small laugh chiming between his words. His hand then reached for his stuff from across the table, "If you're stuff didn't slob up the whole desk, then there would be room for all of our things. Wouldn't there?"

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony's face contorted with slight confusion. "What exactly are you trying to say?" 

[ofandyblack-blog]

Looking towards Anthony, she tried her best to keep the look of relief from washing over her features - it wouldn’t do her any favours to offend anyone that ran in the circles her mother expected her to be a part of. “You have no idea how glad I am to see you right now.” Raising a brow at his question, she simply shrugged, nodding towards the other students hanging about. “Not really, he’s just a tad bit late. What are you doing here?”

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony laughed slightly at the look she gave him. "What? Can't deal with the brain dead bunch?" He tilted his head to the side, trying to make his question seem more sincere than intended.

Anthony frowned slightly as he kicked the air. "I was hoping to talk to him before your class started." Anthony said with a small shrug. "I need a new partner for this 'all-school' project he is making us do. The one I have now makes your group of hot air look like geniuses."

[cordelia-candus]

"Oh." She frowned, dropping the Ravenclaw scarf on the couch she found it. "Sorry, do you know who was sitting here?"

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony shrugged, a small frown formed on his face. It really seemed as if genuinely cared about returning the scarf to its owner. 

"Sorry, I haven't the slightest clue. I could, however, help you look for them."

[ofandyblack-blog]

Letting out an exasperated sigh, she looked around, hoping to spot the professor walking over. An annoyed expression breaking across her face when she saw no sign of Slughorn. Andromeda turned back to the group of girls standing around her, tuning them out, trying to look around for a familiar face to distract herself with.

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony furrowed his brow with annoyance as he walked to the Potions classroom. He knew very well that he didn't have Mr. Slughorn's class until the following day, but he need to speak with him about changing partner for their all-school assignment. It wasn't that he didn't like the partner that he was assigned with, but she wasn't exactly known for her intelligence. Anthony needed someone that could give the edge he needed to achieve the marks that he truly thought he deserved.

As he approached the classroom entrance, Anthony's face dropped; the classroom was empty. With a heavy sigh, he began looking around for someone who could possibly know of his whereabouts.

"Hey, Andromeda." Anthony shouted, spotting his Slytherin friend next to a band of giggling airheads. Gracefully, like all Selwens, Anthony made his way over to her. "Do you by any chance know where Professor Slughorn is?"

[cressmyheartandhopetodie-deacti]

The castle seems a little different than what I remember...

Dirk laughs, only slightly breathless after the run since he wasn’t going at full speed but instead only going fast enough to just beat the ravenclaw. “Thank God we didn’t eat before racing. I’m not sure how much of your food would have stayed down.” Dirk teases, patting the younger student on the back as he catches his breath. 

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Anthony's face turned a bright shade of red as the older, goofier student's hand clapped against his back. Anthony gave a quick cough and the stood to face Dirk with a grin plastered on his lips. 

"I don't think any of it would have stayed down. Just imagine how much up-chuck would be all over you if I had something in me."

[officialevanrosier]

"What do I spy with my little eye?"

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

"A Dick that you could never get." Anthony said in a quiet voice he thought was only audible to himself.

[rosewiithsteelthorns-blog]

"Sorry but I think I took your letter by mistake"

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

"You should really pay attention to that first initial, Rosie."

[hotoffofthepresses-blog]

[She paused, her smile flickering and her step faltering as she stopped to blink at Anthony, tilting her head to the side.] 

Aren’t you feeling catty today, Anthony? You know, never have I once met a boy who could pull that hairstyle of yours off. Still haven’t met one, but I’ll make sure you get the memo when I do.

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

[ Anthony couldn't hide his amusement as he began laughing at Rita's comeback. It was hard to forget what good friends they used to be; You wouldn't be able to even tell now. ]

Are we really stooping this low, Rita? Please, if you do meet one, give him congratulations from me. 

[cordelia-candus]

"Hey, did you drop this?"

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

"I haven't seen that before, so probably not."

[hotoffofthepresses-blog]

[Rita had been walking to her next class when she saw Anthony upcoming in her path. Being the bitch lovely girl she is, she held her head a bit higher as she started by him.] Lovey day, isn’t it? 

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

[ Anthony looked toward the source of the familiar voice and spotted Rita walking his way. He crinkled his nose and contorted a disgusted look on to his face ]

It certainly was until the smell of fish wafted through the airways. Forget to wash the nooks and crannies, Rita?

[rosewiithsteelthorns-blog]

Pure? What does being pure have to do with it? I don’t care about purity, it doesn’t concern me at all. She’s a girl, Anthony. When was the last time you heard of two women from respectable pureblood families to marry each other? That’s right, never, because these kinds of things aren’t allowed. In a perfect world, maybe, but I can’t afford that kind of thinking. And neither can you.

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

Where are these rules, Rose? Have you pulled them from your ass because I have never heard them. Life should be more than expectations and made up rules. We have been taught how to be proper, we were raised up with the do's and don'ts, and frankly, I have been sick of it for a long time. 

[ Sighs. ]

 Okay, Rose. I know it's all about appearances, so if you really want to keep your reputation you need to stop with what you are doing with Charlie. It wouldn't be fair to her for you to lead her on if nothing is going to happen from it.  

[whichway-lulu]

I’m doin’ okay circumstances being what they are. But what about ya? What’s going through that head of yours. Is everything alright, look a bit lost.

[ravenclaw-boywonder]

That is good, I guess.

I am a bit lost, to be completely honest. I should be happy, right. I mean, my sister's back so everything should be returning to normal. But she's different... I don't know.
