THE GIRL IN THE TREES

Hello! I'm Marie Brightwood. I just finished school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Currently living with George Weasley II and attempting to sell my artwork. If you need me, I'll probably be working on something in a library in London. {Wizard Renegades Next Generation: I will rp with anyone}

Let's Start a Riot || Miranda & Marie

"It happens. And hey, no judgement…I used to date the arse who got us into this mess." Miranda leaned against a wall in waiting area. She tested her wand. A light stream of bubbles floated to the ceiling. Marie emerged from the other room. Miranda could breathe a little easier now. The Aurors probably had questions. She’d never been a witness before. And now that the threat of imprisonment seemed more distant the prospect of helping catch the Crimson caped ones was a little thrilling."They’ll probably take statements like in the movies. Just tell the truth and we’ll be fine as candyfloss."

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

"Shit, really? That would explain things a bit." Her mind flashed back to the man roughly kissing Miranda earlier. "Who are they, exactly?" Marie asked as she joined Miranda in the waiting area again. She'd heard little bits and pieces of stories about the people in the Crimson Capes, but she'd never gotten a full explanation. "God, I hope so. If I'm stuck down here for any longer than I need to I think I'll go insane."

I feel like I've been a hermit recently.

He had already pivoted on his heel to turn and leave, but the girl had caught his attention.  ”You sure?  Better make up your mind because I don’t normally talk to wallflowers.”  Cade was trying to be nice, but in the span of a few seconds he had been easily irritated.  ”Do I at least get a name?” he asked, realizing that they never actually exchanged introductions in the first place.  He rubbed his jaw with his hand as he watched the girl.

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

She bit down hard on her lip, swallowing her words as she did so. She had to start letting the little things pass. She was a wallflower, no matter what her feelings about it were. "Marie Brightwood," she replied, hopping off of the ledge and walking over to where he stood. She slid her pencil into the side of her sketchbook and tucked it under her arm. She could feel his irritation as she neared. "Look, I'm sorry for snapping. I just haven't had the best day and it's taken a toll on me."

"I can deal with being a witness."Miranda thought all the shushing was unnecessary. "Recognize you from what? I wouldn’t have pegged you for running in with Aurors…" She meant it teasingly, but her nervousness leaked through more than her sense of humor.She slid her wand over to the tester. The shadowy echos of spells she had used recently hovered above her wand. The Auror readjusted her glasses and gestured to a door to her right. "We’ll still need a statement and contact information." She sighed in relief and gave Marie a reassuring thumbs up.

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

"Rhett and I got into a bit of a fight with some kids over the summer. It was nothing, really." She frowned slightly, remembering the fine she'd had to pay. Being the only legal adult in that situation was terrible. She waited patiently behind Miranda as her wand was tested, and stepped up and handed hers over to the Auror as Miranda was ushered into the adjacent room. She watched as her wand was tested and the echoes of spells played out above it. It was sort of depressing, seeing that her most recent spells had been things like retrieving spells and things to help her clean up. She really needed to get out more. The Auror that followed her into the same room as Miranda gave her an odd look as she stepped through, but maybe that was just her nerves. "All good," she whispered as she walked up to the other girl. "Hopefully we'll be done soon."

"All points that work in our favor,"agreed Miranda. She was feeling a little more optimistic about the situation. Still, the line was long and she didn’t particularly want to be here.The Aurors removed their handcuffs. Miranda massaged her wrists and drew her wand out. "Do you think they’ll interview us or something?" She quieted when they passed a particularly stern looking Auror with a grim glare.

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

"God, I hope not," she muttered to Miranda. The line had moved up, and she shuffled quickly to catch up. "I suppose they might, though. Only witnesses and all." She put up her hands in a gesture of defeat as another one of the Aurors shushed her. "I wonder if any of them recognize me," she whispered, mostly to herself. She chuckled slightly, remembering the last encounter she'd had with Aurors- it had been in Diagon Alley in late August. She and Rhett had gotten into a fight with some Hufflepuff who'd been harassing them.

Marie pulled her free. They ran. Marie swore under her breath. Aurors cuffed them and they were herded into the larger group. Marie tried to reassure her that it wasn’t her fault. “We could’ve left earlier, but I stayed to chat.”Miranda bit her tongue when an Auror told Marie to be quiet. She wasn’t about to voice her initial angry thoughts. She stiffly managed a more civil phrase.”There’s no need for that, sir.”

The Aurors gathered small groups around portkeys and the one in charge counted down. There was the uncomfortable unsettled feeling of traveling by portkey and they arrived in some sort of processing place. 

"Please form two queues and present your wands for inspection,"said a cool, professional female voice. Miranda tried to see what was going on.It seemed as though they were testing wands to see the most recent spells cast. She whispered to Marie. "They’ll be able to see we weren’t part of it…"

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

Marie winced as they landed in an industrial looking room. The hold one of the Aurors had on her had made it a bit hard to get a steady landing as they arrived by the portkeys. Luckily, they removed the handcuffs that were digging into her wrists so that she could pull her wand out of her boot. Miranda whispered to her as they lined up, and Marie nodded in response. "We're the only two not in those crazy robes as well. It's pretty damn obvious that we aren't with them."

She snapped at him!  The nerve!  And here, he was only trying to help.  ”Whoa, cool it.  I don’t know who spit in your breakfast today, but I was just lending a hand!”  If this girl wanted to stick herself in the shadows of a large castle of a school, that was damn well fine by him!  He wasn’t her babysitter.  ”Guess it’s best if I just leave then, huh?”

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

Marie flushed at his words, dropping her gaze to the floor. She regretted her words, her tone, everything she had done in the past two or three minutes. She hated how removed she was from everyone at the school, hated herself for not making more of an effort. Her repressed anger and hurt had burst out in a flurry of words that she couldn't control, and now the boy's impression of her was probably ruined. "N-no, don't go. Or, do go, but I'm going to come with you."

Let's Start a Riot || Miranda & Marie

[mugglelovingmiranda-blog]

Miranda tried to wrench her wrist out of his grip. “Marie, you should go…I’ll be fine.” She seemed to have other ideas and moved closer. Marie’s fist slammed into her captor’s face. He gasped and his eyes watered and Miranda was able to free her wrist. She ran for Marie fully intending to get out of there and disapparate. The taller man started running after them, but a gruff voice made all four stop.

"FREEZE. AUROR DEPARTMENT. NO ONE DISAPPARATE." Miranda held up her hands.It was a group of Aurors.”I was just trying to get away. These idiots ruined everything.”

"You’re coming with us until we sort this out."

"I’m not with them!Hey! Ow,"said Miranda as they cuffed her. She glanced at Marie in apology.She should’ve disapparated the second she realized he had shown up.

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

Marie grabbed for Miranda's hand as she pulled free of the man's grip. This was their chance to escape, get away from the bad situation before the Aurors showed up. The two girls ran, the man following behind until a loud voice stopped them in their tracks. "Oh, fuck," Marie mumbled, skidding to a stop. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. The Aurors spread out, grabbing the people on the scene and making sure they didn't disapparate. 

She winced as the Aurors grabbed her and slapped a pair of too-tight handcuffs onto her wrists. She could feel the unspoken apology in Miranda's gaze, so she spoke in a low voice to the her as they were gathered into a group. "Hey, this isn't your fault. You had no idea that this would happen." She was about to say more when an Auror jabbed her none too lightly in the back. "Be quiet. This'll go much smoother if you keep silent until we need you."

"Really?" he asked, incredulous.  "Protein bars.  That’s all you’re going to eat?"  His mouth was set in a straight line.  "If you prefer to be alone, you’ll be closed off to everyone else in this school and your entire student career will fly by with not much to show for it.  Besides grades, of course."

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

"I don't eat much," she said, blushing faintly. Marie felt so pathetic, now, with this boy questioning her routine. He was right, though. Eating protein bars and hiding out in hallways wasn't a sustainable way to go through life at the school. Still, hearing it out loud made her angry. "You don't think I know that? It's true that I don't like people, but it's not like I don't try to involve myself with things. It's not my fault that I suck at inserting myself into established groups," she snapped, her tone sharp. She covered her face with her hands after she finished speaking and took a deep breath before looking up at the boy again. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice quiet. "I didn't mean to snap. It's just a bit frustrating when someone points out your biggest faults like you don't already know them."

"Aurors are going to come and the message is going to be completely lost thanks to your spectacle,"said Miranda.

He stepped closer. “And what exactly do you want to do about it?Hm?”

"I know exactly what I want to do, but you’re not worth it."

"You’re scared? I don’t have that problem." He grabbed her and crashed his lips against her’s. She shoved him back and raised her wand wielding hand,but  his fingers looped around her wrist. “Let go of me!”

"Are you coming with us, Marie? Or would you prefer to leave Miranda with us?"

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

The only thing Marie could do was stand and stare as the man grabbed Miranda, and stare even more as he kissed her. His words snapped her out of her reverie. "You're not giving me mich of a choice, now are you?" She said, stepping closer to the two. Her wand was in her boot, effectively out of reach. If she was going to do something to get Miranda away, it would have to be physical.

She was acutely aware of the numerous figures surrounding her as she closed the gap between her and the man. This is a bad idea, she thought, but she pushed the thought out of her head as she swung a fist at the man's exposed face, connecting solidly with his nose.

[mugglelovingmiranda-blog]

It most certainly is.

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

It's little things like that make me love being magical.

[thesecondgeorge]

*sighs* I knooooow. Maybe I should hire a personal chef…

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

Then you'd be even more broke. I need to be done by Tuesday, so expect actual food after that.

[mugglelovingmiranda-blog]

Yeah. And it’s easy to meet with muggle deliveries. We can usually get in four or five wizard ones with time left over for the muggle ones.

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

Wow. Appirating sure is perk in this situation, isn't it?

[thesecondgeorge]

Takeaway. I’m broke now, no thanks to you. *pouts*

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

*shrugs* Sorry man. I told you a while ago that my commission deadline was this week.

[thesecondgeorge]

*beams, pulling her into a tight* Oh, I love you! How long do I put in the microwave for?

[surreptitiously-normal-blog]

*smiles* Two minutes, maybe less. What've you been eating this past week? I haven't been around to make you anything.
