Astrid.

Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I’ll choke you with the same hand I FED you with.

His eyebrows raised as she started to speak, almost instantly raising his hand to wipe off the frosting. He’d usually be good at hiding pieces of evidence, but he was almost certain she didn’t want to hear about that kind of evidence. “Oh no, please. You know I’m horrible at baking. Are you certain you want to eat those cupcakes?”

With a single hand placed firmly on her hip, Astrid eyed him, a feigned scolding expression, “You know what’s even more horrible? Stealing my LAST birthday cupcake, how am I meant to blow out the candles now? Nope, you’re not getting out of this, we’ll bake until we get it right, and that’s, that.”

Upon hearing her own stomach, Cordelia couldn’t stop a laugh from escaping her lips. Both because of the grumbling sound, and the words of Astrid. It had been such a habit to wait before expressing she was hungry, she often forgot she shouldn’t worry much about it around her friend. “I suppose I could’ve. But what matters is we both agree, and we’re getting something to eat.” She added on a much more positive note, before waving her hand in the air. “Ah, that’s fine. I’ve sported a lot worse than polish on my cheek. As surprising as that may sound.” Mostly when she stayed up late, or worked longer than usual, turning her hair into a mess and her makeup smudged. With occasionally a few lines of a pen over her face. Everyone had those days, so she never minded much about it when it happened to her. “Please, have some gummy bears.” Lia said, shorty following after the other.

"The more important bit is that one of us doesn't get all the good stuff, but I stalked up the other day, so I don't think that'll be a problem." Astrid both hated and loved going grocery shopping, being an adult meant buying what she wanted but often making poor decisions and ending up with far too much junk food. “Sounds like an interesting tale, you’ve got me curious. Plan on elaborating there? or do I have to allow my thoughts to do the assuming?” She teased, winking at her friend as she pulled open her cupboards, pulling down any snack that drew her attention. “ Feel free to take what you want, mi casa es su casa,” she poorly quoted the little Spanish she knew, hoping it was recognizable to Cordelia. “Ooo, I might not have gummy bears, but I definitely have some penis shaped gummies, Will’s grandma gave them as stocking stuffers.”

“Something like abs, yes.” Florence joked, needing all her motivation to look away from the man and towards Astrid. “I guess he does. Though that’s never been a problem if I only plan on getting a drink, am I right?” She asked with a raised eyebrow. The girl had always been rather open when it came to dating and everything that resembled it.

" But who doesn't these days? I'd rather have someone that has a little chub, but can still make me laugh, in a good way." Astrid pointed out, biting down on her lip as she glanced back. She couldn't help but look, despite not finding him outright attractive, the ongoing conversation about him added some temptation. "Well what are you doing still sitting here in that case? Or are you trying to convince him to come this way?" She wiggled her brows, sipping on her own beverage. Astrid was never one to oppose to a date, but lately she was longing for something more genuine.

wormytailpeter:

“Yes, but that’s not the point! I can’t sing, Astrid. This is going to be so embarrassing. At least my friends aren’t here to see it.”  He laughed, shaking his head as he accepted defeat. 

" And everyone here is drunk, no one cares if you can't sing, it's the confidence you bring to the stage that'll sell the show. If it gets too bad, I promise I’ll start stripping to draw the attention away from you.” The brunette teased, lips curving upward into a smirk. “And what am I ? Your arch nemesis?” Astrid scoffed at the other in defense, already making her way toward the stage.

[shortylike-astrid]

wormytailpeter:

“Astrid. Please hand over the sparklers.” Peter said, holding his hand out to get the sparklers from his friend. “And I thought Sirius and James did stupid shit when they were drunk.” He said, shaking his head a bit. 

" Where's the fun in that, Peter pooper?" the words slurred off her tongue, hardly thinking over her changing of the more commonly used phrase party pooper. “James and Sirius do iconic things while drunk, you just lack in living a little..” Waving the sparklers at Peter as she spoke, a grin remaining glued to her face, Astrid cackled. “ Is there a birthday cake?”

antxnxn:

“I don’t trust you to handle anything sober but if you light yourself on fire, it might solve some of my problems so go for it,” he shrugged raising an eyebrow as he watched her struggle. 

"Why do people assume I'm going to light MYSELF on fire? If I were to set anyone in this place on fire, it’d be the asshole standing in front of me, you. It’s not like you’ll ever have a say in who you marry, so you better get used to the whole parents deciding who you’re going to deflower, as for me, the second I’m done with school, I’m done with my parents.” She needed the extra cash they had to offer, sure she was well off but school was expensive, even if they didn’t know it was being put towards something other than a GRAND wedding and more they did approve of.

“And just because you don’t mind setting this place on fire tonight, doesn’t mean we all want it to go up in flames.” Amycus said. “Give me the sparklers.” He said, holding out his hand. “Now.” He added. 

" I never said anything about setting the place on fire, sparklers aren't dangerous, otherwise parents wouldn't let their kids use them and I’m far more capable than a seven year old.” Astrid insisted with a scoff, shaking her head at Amycus. “Why should I? So you can be a party pooper and ruin my day? Just help me light them, and I won’t set the place on fire.”

“Yeah, NO. Not happening, put the god damn sparklers down before you hurt someone.” Theo sighed, attempting to pluck the sparklers from her hand. “Nope, no shots for me. Someone needs to babysit you and I have no idea where Will is.” 

" Oh calm down, party pooper, I'm not going to hurt someone," Astrid insisted, diving down to the ground and crawling under his legs to avoid them getting snatched. "I do not need a babysitter, and Will is likely off shagging someone or dodging the tinder date I set up for him, who knows?” she called out, digging into her pocket for a lighter she’d snagged earlier off someone in the party, now concentrating on lighting the sparklers. “Just have fun with me, or are you afraid you might have TOO MUCH fun?” 

[shortylike-astrid]

julesjcrdan:

“I was just wondering if you were gonna steal all the sparklers for yourself,” Jules wiggled her eyebrows, “I mean, I’ve already lost count of how many shots I’ve had, but if you want more shots I can do more shots.” 

" Not all, just most, after all, you only get to use the excuse of turning twenty-one once in a lifetime. ” Astrid teased with a giggle, waving them in the air, “ But I AM having a bit of trouble lighting them, might need to find someone that’ll definitely have a lighter.” She considered aloud, nodding in agreement. “Let’s do around together.”

“Touch my memory and I swear I’ll – well I’ll probably cry.” Theo wriggled his nose, “Ever since you introduced me to pizza, I keep eating it. I think I’m getting fat,” The boy huffed, glancing down at his stomach.

" If you can't remember, you can't cry about it, can you? You'll just have to go back to a world without pizza.." mimicking a contemplating expression, the brunette brushed her fingers along her jawline in thought. “Which means more pizza for me, so maybe it’s not a bad idea after all...” she considered aloud with a soft chuckle, gaze following Theo’s. “You’re far from fat, if anything, I’d say you look even better than you did back at Hogwarts, but that’s just my opinion.” Not that it mattered, much. She was just one, out of billions of people in the world.

liiilypotter:

“funny you say that as if i would be one to judge,” lily replies, a light-hearted chuckle escaping rose tinted lips as she takes a sip from the bottle of fizzing tea she was holding. the redhead would be lying if she said she wouldn’t be as tipsy as the girl beside her had she not been pregnant and on the clear to have alcohol. being a mother-to-be, however, didn’t mean lily wasn’t allowed to have fun, right? which is why she was currently hanging around the bar, hoping to find some proper amusement. “i could help you with that if you’d like?” she offered, nodding towards the sparklers astrid was trying to light up. “i’m afraid that couple of shots have already taken its toll on you.”

" didn't see it was you, even if there’s very few with red hair as fiery and gorgeous as yours, otherwise I wouldn’t have questioned it, but GOOD TO KNOW, i’ve spent enough of my life being judged to the max.” astrid’s chuckle echoed lily’s, always enjoying the other’s company, despite only seeing her on occasion and during order meetings. “just good to see that you’re not one of those pregnant ladies that starts fuming when others drink around you, because honestly, why are people like that? if it pisses you off that much, don’t go to parties..” the words slurred out of her, the amount of alcohol making it even easier to ramble on than usual. “ that might be a good idea, otherwise i might set my next round of shots on fire and that sounds like a recipe for disaster.” she agreed, holding out the sparklers for lily to light. “ you can have one if you’d like, too.”

eddbcnes:

“I always look good, don’t kid yourself,” Ed let out a groan before letting out a not so manly shriek at the spider. “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, ASTRID?” He yelped out, jumping to his feet and halfway across the room. “two pm? ahhh, shit.” Running a hand through his hair, Ed raised an eyebrow at her before almost laughing at her comment about Agnes — before deciding to play along. He feigned shock before shaking his head, “Shit? You know about Agnes and I? Look, just because she’s old, doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what she’s doing in the bedroom – in any sense, she’s very experienced –”

" That's definitely up for debate, maybe if you’re walking around a senior center,” Astrid insisted in a taunting voice, holding a hand over her mouth to suppress the giggles, the pillow returning back to its normal state. “Hey, you wouldn’t have gotten out of bed had I not done that, consider it your morning wake up call.” Smirking, the brunette couldn’t but take pride in her mini prank, even if she didn’t have enough hands to catch it on film, the memory was gold. “ I think the entire block knows about Agnes and you, think she might’ve even snatched your phone up and changed all your relationship statuses to taken. That’s DISGUSTING, but as long as your needs are getting fulfilled, who am I to judge?”

halfparkinson:

Truth was, Cordelia had been hungry for some time now. Which wasn’t surprising, she was always eating. More like she would always be eating if people wouldn’t judge her so much for it. So instead, she’d grown used to acting like she wasn’t starving, and doing nail polish was just the perfect distraction. Although this wasn’t why she came here in the first place, she could never say no to nail polish. But feeling the brush against her cheek, she quickly raised a hand to feel it, getting some of the pink polish on her fingers. She let out a small giggle before nodding at her friend. “I was waiting for you to say that! I’m craving… anything you have, really.”

The brunette almost always had a craving for something, but often tried to suppress it around other people. Some people were uncomfortable with her binge eating, and she respected it. So, she often reserved those times for days she was by herself or with Will, or someone she knew wouldn’t give a damn or her parents, to piss them off. So, as the night drew closer to the clock striking midnight, it wasn’t a surprise that her cravings were getting worse and worse. So, glad to be the one to break the conversation in a desperation for food, she was even more pleased to learn that Cordelia was as hungry as she. “You’re just as able to say something too, you know..” she teased, chuckling at the lingering polish on the other’s cheek. “Don’t worry, that’ll come off, I have some baby wipes in the kitchen...they do wonders when you have a puppy running around.” She pointed out, though she preferred them to regular makeup wipes, as they weren’t as harsh to the skin. “Only one way to find out,” she wiggled her brows, closing up her nail polish and standing, starting towards the kitchen and expecting the other to follow.
