#aes. emmeline

just as promised, a prefect had been waiting to escort him to slughorn’s classroom for his first detention of the week and he had to laugh, emme was a woman of her word. but he hadn’t expected to see her in the room as the other prefect left. he clenched his fists, open and closed, open and closed before heading down between the desks toward her, his hands slack. “hey.” was all he could think to say.

spending the day with emmeline was all he wanted, holding her hand as the weather warmed up, stopping in shops to browse and chat. something exceedingly normal and slow paced. but the moment they got into hogsmeade he was greeted by a poster emblazoned with his brother’s face and his entire body tensed in an instant. “is that --- “ he didn’t want to get closer and froze where he was. rodolphus was going to be in hogsmeade and he was completely unprepared.

the scenery around him was a blur as he all but ran outside and down the front steps of the castle, breathing hard and needing as much fresh air as he could suck in to his lungs. everything felt tight and cold and he couldn’t catch his breath but he finally stopped by the lake, feeling like he needed to scream. “did he really just say that? did he ---- did he actually ---- i mean, the mark?” he wasn’t making enough sense and forced himself to calm down, hands in his hair as he looked at emme. “he can’t be serious, but he was so calm suggesting it, like it’s easy. and i agreed! i -- i said yes, what was i thinking?”
