never love a wild thing

I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself. Roxie Weasley. Slytherin. 16.

She wasn’t always the most quiet person in the halls, but for that night, she walked with the lightest of steps, hoping that she wouldn’t bump into a prefect or a professor. She was holding her breath in most of the time, only letting out a sigh as she reached the Room of Requirement. She opened the door, and upon seeing Roxie already seated with a box of cookies, she beamed. “I did! I hope you didn’t wait too long.” She made her way over to Roxie, taking out a huge insulated thermos flask from her bag. “My special hot chocolate,” she announced, before setting down packets of little white marshmallows right after. “And of course, I didn’t forget these. Ta-da!”

   “Not at all. Just a couple minutes. I wanted to make sure that Ximena had already finished her rounds before I snuck out.” She explained, Roxie grinned when she saw the marshmallows, “Perfect. You can’t have hot chocolate without marshmallows. That would just be upsetting.” She stopped and moment and looked around the room, it had set itself up to look immensely comfortable with blankets and so on. She looked back at Aura, “It’s almost like it set up for the perfect sleep over.”

“Only time will tell,” she said. What was wrong with her? Could she only speak in overused nonsense? Probably. It just seemed safer than her own words. “Let’s just get you to the hospital wing.”

  The trip there felt almost eternal and there were a few moments that she had to stop. She wasn’t sure why she felt so weak when the last full moon she was fine without being checked up on. Perhaps Quidditch just had wore her out more. Once they got to the hospital wing, Roxie decided to take a seat on one of the beds, too tired to hold herself up anymore. She glanced up at Beulah, “Thank you.”

Without hesitation, Halcyon wrapped his arms around Roxanne’s waist. He held her up as much as he could. “I found ya! Are ya havin’ a good time?”

   Roxanne giggled and nodded, pulling back to be able to look at him. “Yes. Probably too much of a good time but I did win one of those giant bears earlier so that was a call for celebration. What about you?”

She wasn’t opposed to it. She really wasn’t. But before she could say anything, Roxie had come closer with a hug, and Aura was ready with open arms. She loved hugs, especially hugs from Roxie. She giggled. “I’m really happy you’re here too!”

    Roxie gave her a gentle squeeze in the middle of the hug. She kept a hold over Aura for a moment before she pulled back, “Let’s go and play some games, yeah?”

“Thank you,” she whispered. Beulah held onto her tighter, helping her towards the school. “Seems like this was a–a rough transformation this moon…” She no longer knew how to talk to Roxie. And that realization was met with the most painful or pangs. 

    Roxanne winced a moment as they started to walk back towards the school. Her ribs hurt more than usual, she sighed softly. “I thought this one would be easier but it wasn’t.” She whispered, “It feels like it’s never going to get easier.” Was she talking about the transformation or was she referring to their friendship? She wasn’t sure.

“i’m glad you had it even though it was difficult,” she said, always finding hard conversation to start or carry on. she knew she had many that needed to be held, but she was too compliant and afraid of confrontation. “i’m just heading to one of the courtyards. it’s so nice out when it’s been so rainy – it would be a shame to not soak up the sun a bit,” she said. she ruffled through a small bag the hung on her shoulder, pulling out an apple. “i have two if you want to join me for a small while,” she offered.

     “I would love to. It is a nice day and thankfully, it’s not humid. Humidity and me aren’t friends. My hair doesn’t like it when it’s humid and gets all frizzy. I end up looking like a hot mess.” She shook her head while clicking her tongue.

“Pffft,” Halcyon said, walking up with a smile and his hands shoved in his pockets. “Ya already know what ‘m inta.”

   “That is very true.” She had finished her drink and then got up to go and wrap her arms around her friend, practically crashing against him, “You found me!” It was evident she had been drinking by now.

“consider yourself threatened,” he continued to joke. he knew some would be skeptical about spending time with someone bit, but gabriel wasn’t an idiot and there were no reports about anyone getting hurt by the other or anyone similar to his companion. “it is pretty funny. now if only i could tell people that my costume was funny because i was actually royalty. alas, i’ll settle for just looking better than prince charming – less responsibilities that way,” he gave a small laugh. “so, you looking forward to see anyone? got some hot date to get to later?” he asked, always curious for gossip.

   “If you want to tell people you trace back to royalty, I wouldn’t mind filling in and saying that it’s true.” Roxanne said with a laugh, “However, you do have that going but I don’t think Prince Charming had many responsibilities to begin with. Aren’t Princes like.. supposed to have a carefree life until they’re kings or something? I dunno how all that works.” She thought over his question, “Um.. I didn’t exactly make plans but I’m sure I’ll run into my friends Halcyon or Aura eventually. Not really dating anyone. I think especially now-- no one will want to date me which is fine. I’m fine.” She said as she took another drink.

    “Okay, knowing that you made your ears all by yourself makes your costume about ten times more impressive.” Xan almost wished he possessed the same skill but anything that could be remotely considered ‘arts and crafts’ was something he usually failed at. “Being enemies makes this all the more fun, doesn’t it? The element of it being forbidden makes everything more exciting, don’t you think?” He teased.

   “Thank you! I appreciate that because I was having second doubts before I came out tonight.” She ran her fingers over her ears with a grin, Roxie then finished her drink and set down her glass. “We just have to make sure they don’t catch us..” She went along with their joke as she crossed her arms over her chest, “It’ll be our little secret.” She winked.

              “A little biting isn’t too bad,” Victoire chuckled and made her way over to her younger cousin. She was hoping to see Roxie since they decided to pair up with their costume’s. “You look amazing,” she grinned.

    “Dunno if everyone would agree.” She grinned upon seeing Victoire in her red riding hood costume. “You look amazing too! Your hood is so pretty!”

She let out a laugh, as if the other had just made the funniest joke of the night, though truly it was mostly because of the instinctive mental image Roxie’s words elicited and the fluttering she suddenly felt in her gut. She looked up at Roxie tentatively. “Soooo… if I say yes, do I get a nibble?”

    “You may get a little bite, yes.” She winked at Aura as she set her drink down and made her way towards her friend with her arms stretched out to give her a hug, “I’m so happy you’re here though!”

    The moment his eyes fell upon the other, they widened initially out of shock but it wasn’t long before a smile of amusement overtook his lips. “Holy shit, you actually kind of scared me for a second with that makeup job.” He chuckled softly. “Though I have to admit on second-glance, you look like a total snack.” He was overly proud of his own pun considering the fact he was presently dressed as a vampire.

    She saw the look on his face and it was more amusing than hurtful this time and maybe because she was actually in control. Her famous grin spread as she winked at him, “Thank you, I do take pride in how it turned out. Especially my ears. I didn’t think all those sewing lessons from my grandmothers would pay off.” She giggled at that as she took another sip of her drink, “Oh but don’t you know? We’re mortal enemies.”

“oh, i’m totally into that, but i prefer it to be in private – so maybe next time,” he teased. “but you do look rather convincing. if it wasn’t halloween, i would probably be really concerned and demand you go to the nurse, like, five minutes ago,” he said, laughing slightly. “what about me? am i a convincing prince? or do i just look like an idiot?”

   “Hm, don’t threaten me with a good time.” Alcohol usually brought out the more affectionate or flirty side of Roxanne but she knew most people knew that it was all in good fun and teasing. Unless it was evidently stated otherwise. Roxanne grinned, “Thanks, it didn’t take a lot of effort. I thought I’d be funny since.. you know, I actually did get bit.” She shrugged and then looked him over with a smile,  “Prince Charming should feel ashamed compared to you.” She giggled, “You look good though-- honestly.”

[roxiexweaslcy]

     Roxanne just wanted to have fun and not think about her last weekend. She had decided to be funny and own the fact of who she was by dressing up as a werewolf. She actually thought it was hilarious but maybe not everyone else would but she also thought her make up was actually really on point. She laughed as she took a sip of her drink, “Don’t worry-- I don’t bite. Unless you’re into that.”

As they walked, Halcyon watched his close friend, silent, but reading her every movement and shift in facial expression. “Have ya ever tried ta talk ta an animagus? Maybe Headmaster McGonagall could understand? ‘S a transition. Or ya could put up some flyers? Start a sort o’…AA for werewolf? Might be another here without ya realizin’ it.” Halcyon sighed and looked forward. “Ya mean Miss Luna?”

   “No, I don’t know anyone who is an animagus besides the headmistress and I’m not going to lie, I feel a little uncomfortable speaking to her about it. I’m sure it’s all in my head but I feel like she sometimes looks at me with this pity look in her eyes and I don’t like that.” She confessed, Roxie looked at Halcyon in thought, “You think? That’d be helpful. It’d also feel a little less lonely.” Roxanne nodded, “Yes. I went off on her and I feel bad but I just... I was so angry-- or hurt, I don’t know. I just wanted to see her t-there.” Her voice broke slightly and she cleared her throat.

“I doubt he does. That kid is a wee bit…off. Not that it bothers me. I’ve been called that and worse in my life time.” Albus paused. He took a huge breath. He couldn’t quite look at his cousin and close friend. “Y-Yeah. I’m okay. I just…have some things on my mind right now. Something…happened that day…”

     “He’s quiet and he doesn’t really like loud noises but he is a good teacher. I like him.” Roxie commented, she understood not everyone was as comfortable around him. Roxie then grew worried at his expression, “You want to talk about it?”

“My thoughts exactly. As if the damn things didn’t make you spill your guts out, I can’t imagine what taking expired versions of them would do,” he agreed, ending his sentence with a small gag and a shake of his head.

   “Do you have any idea who has them? That Halloween Party is coming up and I’m scared that they may be used there.” Roxanne was concerned now that she knew someone else had their hands on the product with an event so big coming along since she knew many people were going to go.
