Augustus Rookwood + Sun Sign

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and those who are born under this sun sign are always picking up on information around them, just as a parabolic antenna with a very horizontal form of knowledge. They have a very strong intellectual movement, arranging ideas internally so they can turn them to the exterior. Very curious and flexible, it is very common for them to go into many directions and have many interests. Not much is definitive when it comes to this zodiac sign, since it is an air and mutable sign, so it is known to be very adaptable. Those with this sun sign placement could learn to set their energy and focus to a greater goal, instead of discarding their interests once they get bored with them.

Oh, no, no. I think Summer’s boyfriend has a worse secret than being married. I do not see Declan that angry just because Summer is going out with a married lad.

Então… Mad e eu até já tivemos algo no passado. O que me leva a pensar é que talvez ele não esteja interessado em mim. Talvez eu e essa história de trisal seja só um bode expiatório que ele criou para ficar com você… 

Alguma mensagem? Eu? Que isso… não quero nada que você não quiser…

Worse as in... him being completely depraved? Or someone that has wronged Declan in the past...?  A criminal, maybe?

Engraçado, não me lembro de saber desse algo entre vocês dois. Longe de mim ser o namorado ciumento, mas quer dizer então que, no passado, todo aquele seu desdém sobre as muitas bocas que o Maddox havia beijado era na verdade desejo de saber como era, ou justamente por já ter sabido, hm? Et tu, Davina? Huh. 

Bom, Mad é um cara bem-apessoado, mas não sei... Se o Declan descobrisse, creio que teríamos um cisma pior do que aquele entre ele e a Summer. I couldn’t do that to him.

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

Or even worse… you know, Declan is very flirty… even with people in a relationship. Not sure if he does this intentionally but I don’t see him that monogamous.

Ele disse, é? Provavelmente tava indo lá implorar minha amizade de volta. Desde que nós viramos um “casal”, ele tem tentando reatar amizade comigo. Se me recordo bem, acho que até mencionou algo sobre um threesome. Deve ter sido esse o motivo da visita.

What exactly are you implying, Davina Travers? That Declan wanted to be a... throuple with Summer and whoever is her mysterious paramour? And that he is mad he was shut out?

Engraçado. Não sei se pensava no Mad como alguém que gostava de compartilhar... Mas se ele estava interessado em você, por que não te procurar antes de ficarmos juntos? Enfim. O tema de ménage e trisal parece estar um pouco recorrente, hm? Você está tentando me passar alguma mensagem, Dav?

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

Hm… yes. She did not tell me who is this person. But you do have a point. I mean, Savage must hate him.. and I didn’t even know he was capable of hating anyone. I mean, he always looks to the bright side of everyone.

Quer dizer, ele continua amigo do Maddox até hoje. Até eu desisti dessa amizade.

Exactly. For Declan to disapprove so strongly of someone, there must be something seriously wrong with him. To be honest, I think that the lad is married. It explains why Summer has always been so secretive and why Declan doesn’t like it, as he rather values loyalty and cheating is clearly out of question for someone like him.

Come on. Você não deixou exatamente de ser amiga do Maddox, não é? Eu cruzei com ele no Ministério há um tempo e lembro d’ele até mencionar uma visita ao Wizengamot...

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

Sure. Of course you do. You’re probably the second…  you, see? Almost the first.

Yes, she refuses to talk to him. I am trying to support her, because, you know, according to her he was very sexist. But, I do believe it’s just a matter of time for the two of them to get back together. 

Almost the first, right.

I also think they’ll make up soon, but I confess it’s been longer than I thought it’d be. This thing really shook their relationship. I wonder who might this guy be to have made such good friends to fallout like that.

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

Always a pleasure, dear…

Oh, geez. Now I am the one who’s surprised. Você se referindo a alguma pessoa como namorada? Achei que isso só aconteceria daqui uns 15 anos em alguma noite de lua cheia…  Mas, fico feliz por ser a pessoa em questão… 

The same as always. I woke up, went to Wizengamot, worked, had lunch with Summer, worked more, Savage asked me to be here and then I just found out I am Augustus Rookwood’s girlfriend… I am glad you’re not the hottest guy in the ministry anymore, by the way. Otherwise, I would receive threatening letters from your secret (or even not so secret) admirers… but how was your day?

Well, I’d say it was about time I fancied myself as a boyfriend, huh? ‘Cause, let’s be honest, you’ve always been girlfriend material, but me... I had to grow into it. I’m glad you could bring it out, though.

Ahn, good to hear you’re not receiving any threats? Although I guess I still make pretty good competition to whoever is the new hottest bachelor around. 

Anyways, my day was fine, same old thing. Oh, by the way, is Summer still not talking to Declan? He hasn’t mentioned her much and I belive it’s a bit of a sensitive topic for him...

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

@rookwood-a​

‘ello, Rookwood. Eu sei que não sou exatamente quem você esperava encontrar hoje, mas já estava indo para minha casa quando Savage me abordou dizendo que era meu dever substituí-lo, uma vez que sou a sua “segunda melhor amiga”…

Inclusive, ele pediu desculpas, mas ficou preso no QG. Assuntos sigilosos, disse ele.

What a nice surprise, miss Travers.

Uma pena para o Declan, mas creio que eu tenha dado sorte com essa substituição, já que você é a primeira namorada... Anyways, thanks for coming, dear. How was your day?

[rookwood-a]

declansavages​:

I will act on my crush on Ava, of course I will. But on the day I want to commit suicide. I am her best friend since our first day at Hogwarts.. which means it has been like… more than six years. With each passing year, the lie grew even bigger. I can’t do anything else but keep this lie. Not without her getting mad at me and wanting to kill me. I mean, I didn’t used to have a crush on her. At least not until last year… I even used to have a girlfriend. And now I just think we would make a great couple together. Am I pathetic, mate?

Summer likes her. Other day she even hinted that I had a crush on Ava and said that she was very attractive. Maybe Summs has a crush on her as well… I cannot blame her.

You’re not pathetic, Declan. You’re just... in your head. But it’s not as if our relationships with other people were static, impossible to change. It’s actually not that rare that two friends become romantic partners. So it’s not a lie, it’s just a development of what you two have. 

Or maybe Summer is giving her stamp of approval and seeing what we all see about your feelings towards Ava.

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

You have a similar reputation. But I do not think this a good reputation. I mean, many of them kiss you or Mad thinking they might become the oficial. Not sure it’s healthy. Actually, I am sure this is not.

Unlucky? Would you like to be kissing Maddox? Really? Argh… have you ever imagine how many mouths Mads’ mouth has already touched? Anyway, see you soon.

Well, hello again, miss Travers. Fancy seeing you here. 

I managed to get two glasses for us, so we’re going to keep things sanitary, and you won’t have to worry about sharing saliva with a mouth that has touched many mouths, to quote your words on Mads’ reputation. See, I listen... sometimes.

[rookwood-a]

declansavages​:

I have two rich friends. And you, mate, make me believe that rich people are not snobbish.

I am glad you haven’t killed each other, honestly. But, don’t know. I think it would be nice if we all hang out together, you know? I have to manage my time between Summer and you… sometimes I feel like I don’t give you two the attention you deserve. I mean, we could be a really cute triad… or tetrad if we put Ava on the count.

Really? That’s touching, mate.

Well, I personally have nothing against Summer, so I’d be fine hanging out with her, but I suspect the feeling is not exactly mutual. And it’s fine, you don’t have to play matchmaker with us either, you know? Although you should probably act on your crush on Ava... Unless Summer doesn’t approve of her either...?

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

Girls like gossiping and I was told he is a good kisser. So, maybe that is it. Girls are curious to be make sure this not a fake news.

I could talk to Fawley, but I am afraid she is the Mads’ random girl of the day… Geez. This family does have a bad luck, huh?…  but, yeah… we can just be low profile. See you in five minutes in front of the fountain? I have already an Ogden in my purse, by the way.

I knew he had a reputation, but seems like it’s a good one, then. I’m curious, though... What do girls say about me, Dav?

In this case, maybe we are the unlucky ones, not Fawley. Anyways, we have a deal, Miss Travers. And I appreciate your preparedness. See you in a bit.

[rookwood-a]

declansavages​:

Would you do that for me? Geez, mate. You’re the best. I do not deserve have so good friend as you are.

But I do get stressed abou this. I mean, you two and Ava are my best friends. Summer and you have so much in common. You two do not believe in monogamous relationships, you both are good-looking and have a crush on me. You could get married if you were not against this kind of things.

I just agreed to lend you five Galleons, mate, so yes, I got you.

Well, sometimes having a lot in common doesn’t mean getting along, you know? Isn’t it enough that we’re both your friends, and that we haven’t killed each other yet?

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

I know you always have the best intentions… unfortunately. But people around do not know you as well as I do.

Sure Maddox will join us, expect if he have already disappeared with a random girl. And I am afraid he have already done it.

No, they don’t. And, well, a boy and a girl our age... No one needs to be very creative to have ideas about it.

Merlin, Mads can’t keep it in his pants, can he? Huh. Aren’t you friends with anyone else around here? Or maybe we can devise a plan to discreetly sneak out, each at a time, maybe with different people?

[rookwood-a]

declansavages​:

He doesn’t need the money indeed. But it seems that he needs to throw the fact I owe him in my face whenever he see an opportunity.

She does not dislike you. She does not know you, mate. You two would be best friends if you gave each other a chance. And let’s not put the cart before the horse. Next month is a problem for future Declan. And soon we will graduate, I will earn a decent salary as an Auror, and if she needs it, I can help her without asking you for help. And pay all of my debts, of course.

I think Mads just likes to see the look on your face when he does that. Don’t sweat it, Decs. I can pay off you debt with him, if that puts your mind at ease.

Whatever you say, mate, I don’t stress too much about it anyways. Well, future might be sooner than expected, but I think there’s no talking you out of it, is there?

[rookwood-a]

davinatravers​:

Geez… that is exactly what I need. But people will gossip about us and my parents will kill me. So, I am afraid I cannot.

But if we can get Maddox into the plans, the gossip might just be a bunch of young people doing bullshit. And my parents are used to being more condescending when people don’t insinuate that I disappeared from an event with a good-looking guy.

I see. Well, you’re probably right. We’re inside the snakes’ nest, and they’re usually pretty thirsty for gossip.

I’m sure we can convide Maddox to hop along. Maybe we can get others on board, too. Although my intentions were far from being ill, I think more people will certainly look less... suspicious to your honor. 

[rookwood-a]

declansavages​:

Nothing to worry about. Jus the same as always… I owe him money.

Hm… you must know, I think. Actually I want to help Summer to rent an apartment for her and her sister. And she probably must not know that part of my contribution will come from your money… otherwise she won’t accept it. Not that she has anything personal against you, but I’m not even sure she’ll accept the contribution from me.

You know that Mads probably doesn’t care that much about what you owe him, right?

That’s actually quite nice of you, Declan. And I won’t even take it personally about Summer’s dislike of me – that’s no secret, by the way. I’m fine with lending you the five Galleons, I just don’t know how you plan to keep this up? I mean, what about next month’s rent?

[rookwood-a]

@davinatravers​

What do you say we sneak out this dinner party and take Ogden’s here with us? I suspect I might fall asleep if someone else decides to give a speech again.
