juliet had always avoided the bathroom that was moaning myrtle’s, she knew what was in there too, the entrance to the chamber of secrets. a place created by her ancestor and opened by her father twice to kill muggleborns. she had never seen it, but she was always drawn to it. and today was a day that myrtle wasn’t in the bathroom, so juliet entered it. she went over to the sink and felt the snake on one of the faucet but before anything could be done next she saw someone behind her and jumped back. “i wasn’t expecting anyone to be in here.” she said honestly.

ever since rose heard what happened to her uncle, she has been trying to find her cousins to check in on them. while they all might not see eye to eye all the time or be in the same house, the potter-weasley clan was always close and learned at a young age that family was the most important thing. the hardest cousin for rose to find was albus. she was happy when she finally noticed him in the great hall. she sat down next to him. “hey al, how is it going?” she asked her cousin. @charmedmcrks​ (albus)

elias just got off of quidditch practice and was entering the slytherin common room when he noticed his girlfriend sitting on a couch. he dropped his bag and sat down on the couch next to her. “can i just say how nice it is to enter the common room after practice to see such a beautiful woman here?” he asked her with a bright smile. @slivermxgic​ (vienna)

felicity was sitting on a bench in the hall, just reading a textbook for one of her classes. she wanted to always make sure she was caught up on her school work especially in her o.w.ls year and when she had to worry about the rise of a dark wizard and fighting in her father since not everyone was on the same side. felicity looked up from her book and saw her grandmother walking down the hall and got up. “hello grandmother, how is your day going?” she asked her with a smile. @headmistresstravers​

“ is what at is at this point. the damage is already done. ” he said rolling his eyes and glancing over at the gryffindor that he recognized to be in his year. the slytherin hqd noticed the girls tears almost immediately; however, he stayed quiet for a moment while he decided if he should  make a comment about them. “ what’s wrong with you ? ” he finally offered. he figured that though it may have not been the nicest way to say it, he at least tried.

usually someone giving her this much attitude would make lovelynn feel insulted, but she knew what happened to his father, so she was going to give him a pass for once. “nothing that you should worry about, just some slytherin mean girls being mean.” she admitted to him.

albus recognized the voice immediately as one of his fellow sixth-year slytherins. he rolled his eyes and got up intending to push past the girl but something in her comments made him stop. “ thanks for the suggestion. i’ll consider it next time this happens. ” he said with a little bit more of sarcasm than normal. “ do you need something, malfoy ? or you simply talking to me to be a bother ? ”

“while i’ll never usually want anything from you, for once i actually do.” the slytherin said to her classmate. “and that is to help make your miserable life even worse.” she smirked. the redhead grew up with her parents trash talking the potters, so it was good news that albus’ father was dead.

Alice instinctively took a step back at the warning, it was not like she was going to say ‘I’m sorry’ after her warning, but it was something that she didn’t think about, her body just reacted. “I’m not going to say those words” she said softly as she flashed a warm smile to the girl in front of her. “I was going to ask how are you” she said softly. She knew about what happened to the girl’s father, and she felt really sorry for her, she couldn’t imagine who she would be feeling. Alice father was missing, but she still hope she was okay, she knew he was okay, but that for sure was not the same that happened to Evelyn’s father. “Do you wanna talk?” she asked softly.

“if i’m being completely honest, i’m not doing well. but i think that is to be expected.” since her father’s death, evelyn has been more closed off and distant from people, she wasn’t grieving her father well and threw herself into her school work like a lot of ravenclaws did when life was hard, it was easier for her. “i’d really rather not, i’d rather forget everything.” she said.

Alice saw the whole scene, she saw how her sister burnt the girl’s homework and how she ran away. The Hufflepuff knew that after her father got set free, her sister hasn’t been the same, she just acted like a whole different person, she was no longer the good girl who had always a shiny smile on her face.  She was just dark. “What is that look for? Are you really asking me that?” scoffed Alice “I don’t know why are you doing this, but you should stop” she warned with a serious look “Do you really think this is what dad wants? See his daughter just acting that way?”

“you really think i care what dad thinks of me. i don’t care what anyone thinks of me anymore.” the brunette told her sister. ever since her dad was released, kali has gotten dark and less cares since her dad was safe, so she didn’t have any worries anymore. “and i’m not going to stop just because you tell me to alice. you don’t know how good it feels, it feels perfect.” she smirked.

cho had always instilled that education was more important than what was going on in the world. but susan had always said follow your heart and his heart leaned more towards the way leilani was feeling. “all i’m saying is o.w.ls are more important than stopping a dark wizard. plus you’re only a fifth year, what are you going to do if you fail? you can’t repeat a year, trust me it’s better if you stay ahead, i’ve already started to prepare for my n.e.w.ts” edgar explained, he had almost gotten all o’s in his o.w.ls maybe that’s why he was so adamant on need for education. “i can help you if you’d like i think i still have all my notes.”

“if i fail, i guess i will go to muggle college and get a job in the muggle world.” the witch said with a soft chuckle. “the good thing about having a muggle father and a witch mother is that i can survive in both worlds.” the girl said. “also, i highly doubt i will fail every o.w.ls.” she stated to him. “and how is defeating a dark wizard not more important? since if we just sit around in like a year grades may no longer matter.”

class had just ended and she walk into the hallway when she heard a familiar  voice. she looks up it was her twin sister it felt forever since she last seen her maybe that was her fault , after their dad’s disappearance she tried to push her siblings away. “i am your only sister”  

“can you not just take the compliment without pointing out the flaws in it?” she asked athena curiously. aurelia knew she needed to stay close to her sister no matter how much she pushed her away since the gryffindor needed to make sure she was okay.

kali wasn’t one to easily deal with others annoying her, she use to ignore them and put on a careful face, but other since she started to embrace the darkness inside of her, she felt it much better to just curse those who annoyed her. sometimes she felt bad for what she did, but for the most part she didn’t mind doing it. and she liked to show off some of the new spells she was learning. and as long as a professor or a prefect didn’t see her do it she never got in trouble. “incendio.” the girl said as she lit another’s student’s homework and clothes on fire and laughed as they ran away crying. she turned around to notice her sister standing there. “what is that look for?” she asked alice. @magicaldisasterx​ (alice)

In the amount of short years he had known Juliet, the topic of her father wasn’t a regular conversation. James knew she was related to a Black, a member of no doubt Death Eaters in his hay day as most Black family members were. And considering how quiet Juliet got around the subject of her father, James never pushed for further details. It was a sore spot and as someone who didn’t exactly have had a great relationship with his own father, James understood and therefore never asked.  

He gave her a small nod, processing her words, trying to appear as well thought-out as if afraid if he didn’t that he would be seen as dismissive. As much as he hated thinking it but having a dead father one never met wasn’t comparable to growing up with one and losing him. She meant well, even acknowledging this fact, trying to comfort him but there were no real comfort in her words. How could one be comfortable with Death? But she was trying and he couldn’t blame for her for the sentiment not reaching. “Losing parental figures are always hard,” he started, looking down at her. “I don’t know if I believe the paper just yet.. But I need to go find my mom. Maybe she knows what happened.”  

“it is. i mean, there are always things that i would want to ask my father that i’ve never been able to.” her father might’ve not give her the best advice but she could’ve at least asked him. it was hard for juliet to have never had her father. “i mean and for you losing him is worse than my loss since my father died years before i was even born, for you, you’ll have to hear all the i’m sorry.” she said. “my dad... well i think the only people who were sad about his death were a very small amount.”

“if you want to go find your mom, i can try to help you get out of here.” she knew she needed to be there for him, and she would do anything she could to help him. “you.. are my friend. and i will do everything i can to help you james.” she said taking his hand in hers and giving it a light squeeze. “i mean while my mom might not be the mothering type, when i’m upset i still know that going to her will make me feel better.” she added.

Harry Potter Dead. He must have stared at the news article for hours, words meshing together until they became meaningless in front of him. His vision blurred and it took him way too long to process the very fact that right here, right in his very hands was a real reporting of his father’s life. Dead. Sacrificed. Hero. Always to be remembered. Admittedly, he wasn’t too close with his father especially in the later years but he couldn’t help but feel the weight of the world on his shoulders and a wounded sorrow puncturing his melancholy heart. The only positive thing that came out of this article was his mother’s safety. She was currently at St. Mungo’s and James, glad for once to not have Hogwarts’ supervision, was preparing head out. The distractions of the festival were enough to allow him to slip out without causing any scenes and the eldest Potter was banking on this as he walked down Hogsmeade. That was until beautiful doe eyes locked on his that he found himself slowing to a stop, delaying his quest for an evitable meeting. 

Juliet. Her name was on the tip of his tongue but before he could speak, loving arms circled around him and he found himself hugging her right back. Last time they’ve spoke, her lips were on his and he remembered how he could barely breathe – something he didn’t even mind. His world spun and yet Jules had kept him grounded in her hold, face in her hands as she spilled unspoken feelings. He could have sworn his heart leaped out of his chest at one point. But the kiss ended and suddenly Jules was gone, convincing James for almost a split-second that the kiss was simply imagined. It wasn’t until he saw her the next day in passing that he realized this was not the case. 

“Hey,” his voice was soft and low, knowing she could only be hugging him right now because of his father. They weren’t exactly on speaking terms beforehand. Slowly he pulled back and gave the girl a small smile. “Thanks.” 

juliet hoped she wasn’t doing anything wrong, when it came to thinking about her own father’s death, the brunette never shedded a tear. she was born to a terrible man, however, james’ father was a great man. one that when she was little she use to wish he was hers. someone that a person could look up to who would sacrifice himself to save everyone. and she knew that no matter what she was feeling about james, he needed a friend and she needed to be there for him to help him and make sure nothing bad happened. 

“i wish i could’ve met him. by how negatively my mum would speak about him shows how great of a man he was.” though she knew he probably wouldn’t have liked her, well once he found out who her father was. it was why juliet kept that her dark secret. “and i wish i could know how you are feeling, my father died before i was born and i’ve more missed never having a dad than missed the man my father was.” she admitted.

Alice after she knew the news she found herself happy and devastated at the same time she felt devastated. She knew that all the families that got their parents and mother’s back were going to be happier than ever, but knowing that the great Harry Potter, her father’s friend, was dead just made her extremely sad. But at that moment the brunette had to found her sisters, she needed to hug them. The brunette ran across in front of tall the little stands when she found Kali. “Kali” she said walking towards her. “I told you dad was okay” @redvmvncy​

reading the news articles made kali feel conflicted, while the girl has been giving into her darkness, she was still a kind soul; so hearing about harry potter’s death made her second guess what she was doing a bit. “you act like i really care about dad’s well-being, maybe in the beginning, but not anymore.” she replied to alice.
