“If you don’t pay attention, I’m walking away right this second. I’m not sat here for my own benefit, you know?” 

[roxawley]

“What?” Roxie said with a shake of her head before looking up at Alecto. “Sorry, is just this wand, it’s not good enough.” 

[adelaofnabar]

“Sorry, can I bum a light?”

[roxawley]

“I don’t smoke anymore.” Roxanne said, pushing her hair aside to see who had spoken. “Oh, uhm, here.” She said, handing her lighter. “I thought you were someone else.” 

[prettylilmolly]

“I’m sorry what’d you say? I was too busy eating to listen.”

[roxawley]

“I was just wondering if the mail has come already?”

“If only more people around here realized that, we’d have a lot less poisonings.” Emme muses before shaking her head. Her expression changes to one of sympathy but not pity as she pauses for a moment before continuing on. “Sometimes it might just be better not to remember. Maybe it could be a fresh start.” 

Roxanne sighed, she had let that slip her mind after the problem with the boggart. Initially she had been thankful to have come back after the poisonings, because chances were the dim witted people in the castle would have blamed it on her again. “Yeah, if only... that’s why I’m here though... for a fresh start. A better start.”

“lucky” Glenda rolled her eyes, not appreciating how she was twisting her words to suit her. “Yeah, maybe we don’t have to thank you for that one, we’d hate to feed your ego to the point of having to go to the hospital again.”

“Now you are just being nasty and if you see me as that much of a monster then shouldn’t you be afraid?” Roxanne said, taking a step forward. The insults and teasing and name calling were part of coming back but she was not going to allow it to become the norm, not as long as she could help it. “I mean, according to you I am so good at ruining things, correct?”

Al freezes in place as soon as her voice reached his ears. Can it really be her or have I lost it, he thought to himself. He sits up as his eyes find her through the smoke. “Well, I had to make sure you could find me.” Al remarks with a smile, a tear threatening to come from his eye. After taking a few steps closer to her, he pulls her into a hug. “You’ve been away too long Betch.” 

“Your brilliant mind you came up with a decent plan and look, here I am!” She said smiling widely. There had been only two people she had wanted to see ever since coming back. One no longer attended the school and the other was Al- at least his traces of smoke made him easy to find. “Well that wasn’t my fault, was it?” Roxanne said, hugging him back. “Don’t answer that.”

“So a second year asked to do my hair ten hours ago and now it looks like I’m a fucking gopher but I don’t want to be mean and take it out. Does it look that bad?”

[roxawley]

“You’ve been getting your hair done for the past 10 hours?” Roxanne asked dumbfounded with her eyes glued to her hair. “Could be worst, could be better, very tres chic.” 

[smuggler-jedi-marajade]

Alastor lay relaxed against the window; his face hidden behind the plume of smoke from his cigarette. Hearing someone walk into the room, Al rests his cigarette into the dish beside him. Clearing his throat and without looking up at the person he begins to speak to them. “So, what brings you to this side of the castle?”

[roxawley]

Roxanne made about ten disgusted faces as she cleared the smoke around her before responding. “The god awful smell that could only bring memories of you.” A grin formed on her face as she stepped closer. “I figured I’d find you here.”

Dropping his crystal ball from his pocket, Basil winced as it landed and sighed in relief when it didn’t crack or shatter. When it rolled away, toward a girl, he followed it with a sigh. As it rolled behind her foot, he sighed again and opened his mouth to ask for it when she spoke. “No, I was sick,” he replied automatically. “My ball rolled behind you, may I please have it?”

“Good, you didn’t miss out on a lot.” She was being sarcastic, of course, but sarcasm had turned out to be her best friend since her return to school so she couldn’t desert it. Turning around she bent down to get the ball and handed it to him. “Do you always go around carrying crystal balls?”

“um, yes? Thank you for ruining a good time by the way. You won best trick.” glenda said, rolling her eyes at her. “Like, you can’t be serious, right? You know what you did, are you asking for other perspectives now or do you want to know details about the detention we all have to serve?” 

A smile tugged at her lips as she heard Glenda complain. She wasn’t surprised, and any other answer from her would have shocked her. “I won and I didn’t even put any effort.” Roxanne commented with a slight shrug. “I’m pretty sure that detention has nothing to do with me, but hey I’m glad you made it out of there okay. You definitely came out the same from that ordeal.”

Rosemary’s thoughts were preoccupied thinking of the Imperius curse, and she almost didn’t hear the other’s words. Turning towards Roxanne she pursed her lips thoughtfully. Had she been at the Halloween party? Licking her lips she thought back to the event, and remembers she had opted instead to create a makeshift tub for Gills in the Ravenclaw common room. Perhaps Vale knew something? She tilts her head casually to the side.

“I. I wasn’t. Did you misplace something? I could ask around if you want.” Rosemary offered straightening herself where she stood. “I was spending time with my toad away from people.” She finished awkwardly.

“Yes I did... I misplaced a lot of things but I can’t quite remember how.” Having asked that out loud was dumb. At least Rosemary hadn’t been keen in pointing out the mistakes Roxanne had made or how she had ruined the party, that made her feel slightly better. “Fun.” Roxanne replied after a quiet moment. “It’s good you didn’t go, you wouldn’t have liked it.”

“Sorry,” he apologized once more. “Wha-?” he cut himself off with a shake of his head. “No, that was just a random one I startled. Have you seen a hairless cat with a purple sweater around? She might have looked almost as lost as I am?” He looked at the other with hope-filled eyes. “She answers to Janet if she’s feeling cooperative.”

“That’s very specific but I’m afraid not.” She said, looking around as if it would randomly be lounging around them. Roxanne rubbed her forehead once more and lit up as an idea came to mind. “Hey what if I help you find her? I’m sure there aren’t that many hairless cats around and maybe it will make the search easier.”

[roxawley]

“I mean it is the only paper worth reading.” He offered up. “So…. what do you have to complain about today?”

Roxanne nodded though she had a thousand reasons to disagree with that statement; reasons she wasn’t planning on explaining to him. “You.” 

[roxawley]

Roxanne had no intention of running into a boggart. Ever. She could still remember almost failing miserably when her class that lesson. Her boggart had turned into crazed sphinx and no matter how much she tried to turn into something funny, the image in her mind always remained the same. 

This time around it had been different though, the boggart she encountered didn’t turn into a sphinx but instead into a group of faceless people blaming her for things she didn’t do. It was a nightmare but she had managed to run away from it... but that didn’t mean she had forgotten it.

She was still deeply thinking about it when she heard someone approach and without giving it a second thought asked “were you at the Halloween party?” 

[kaydencarter-blog1]

Wandering through the halls that close to curfew probably wasn’t a good idea but Kayden needed to find her. “Janet! Janet, come here!” he called out, hoping the cat would wander toward his voice as she usually did. He couldn’t even be sure she was in that part of the castle, but it was worth a shot. Back at Ilvermorny, he knew all of her favorite spots and was able to track her down with ease. He sighed heavily, before calling out again as he turned a corner, “Jan- oof.” He ran right into someone, almost sending both of them to the floor. “Oh gods, I’m so sorry!”

[roxawley]

Roxanne was far too distracted by the cat that ran past her that she failed to notice there was someone calling after it, and when she did notice she had already crashed into him. “Wow, it’s fine-” she said taking a step back and rubbed her forehead. “You are good, I’m good... I think. Was that your cat?” She wondered.

Frank didn’t want to bring obvious attention to the fact of him being surprised to see Roxanne again. After all, it had been four months since the fateful Halloween party. She didn’t seem the same though, whether that was good or bad, Frank could only wait to tell. “I run every morning and sometimes in the evening. It’s a great way to rejuvenate but also it’s just my way of de-stressing after the day.” he said with a shrug. 

“That’s reasonable.” She said with a nod as she began to fidget with the broken frame of an old small portrait. “I was forced to do the same when I was away, not run, but walk - a lot - to open up my mind, they said.” Roxanne shared nonchalantly with a sigh before turning her attention back to him. “You’ve always seemed trustworthy, so, can I ask you something?”

“Or perhaps you learn to do baby steps when becoming less boring. Being interesting doesn’t always result in St. Mungos. What exactly did you do?”

“I don’t know, I forget.” She half lied, she remembered what she had done but didn’t remember  the details or why. “You could get a better answer from The Daily Prophet, though.”
