It’s actually super funny that all it took was fattening up one dude for Lise to attract a media shitstorm because by the time Ariadne graduated, she had run off to join a Russian circus, architected a political prison for a Dark Lord, fought the war, doomed her best friend to an early death by slow-burning curse, mercy-killed her vegetative father and used that murder tomake a freaking Horcrux and the media said not one word
pottersgal71 okay but
y’know how clae closed her parents’ coffins in an outrage at the funeral because just like lise she had strong feelings about corpses and how they shouldn’t just be left on display for everybody to stare at if they were people you cared about/respected, and then cam did the same for her
well I think that tradition definitely started with lise closing ari’s coffin at HER funeral
so now I’m stuck with the mental image of baby 9 y/o lise freaking out and closing the coffin and running off to break down in a funeral home bathroom
so, there’s that
ariadne definitely at some point between 1960 and her death in 1969: “I can’t believe the government let denise reproduce”
denise in the dorms one year over xmas break: “I think this year I’m gonna make a new years resolution to lose some weight. yeah!”
ariadne, who can’t believe she’s been forced to share a dorm with this obsessed nutjob for all these years and whose head is about to explode from listening to her talk about salads all break: “while you’re at it why don’t I make a resolution to lose my fucking MIND because I know I’ll be able to keep that one if you’re around honestly”
ariadne to phillise at some point probably if she was still alive when they got together: “do you need anything? some snacks? a condom?”
This may be too out there, but considering the number that have murdered people, did any of your OCs consider making horcruxes?
Ariadne made one. She wasn’t so much interested in immortality so much as dulling the emotional pain she was in after all her life’s hardships, and what better way than to remove part of her soul? (She murdered her own vegetative father to do it; it was more or less a mercy killing really, and she put her soul in his old compass. She intended to destroy it, but shortly thereafter she found out she was pregnant with Billie and decided she couldn’t go through with it. She left the compass in a drawer of her mansion and after she died, that part of her soul remained trapped there, having to watch as her husband abused her daughters...she was never strong enough to stop him but sometimes she would throw angry fits and make objects fall off of shelves. Lise always liked to scare her friends and tell them that her house was haunted by a malevolent force, but they never got to see any proof because Ariadne actually liked them and wouldn’t pitch angry ghost fits in their presence.)
[and it hurts even more when you know that ari dies while billie is still in her first year at school. wow I am so done with myself. bye]
Ariadne’s fucked up a great deal in her life, and she knows it. She’s run off to war, she’s lain waste to other people’s enemies for no other reason than the rage she felt at the demons of her own past. She drinks, she fights, and six in the evening on any given day finds her in a different stranger’s bed.
But if there’s one saving grace in her life, it’s her children.
They’re ten, eight, and seven when she takes them out to the diner for milkshakes and chips, both to celebrate Mother’s Day and to get away from her Arschloch of a husband, who’s threatening these days to keep her chained by the ankle in the basement because she keeps coming home smelling of another man’s cologne.
“You should try it like this,” she tells the kids, dipping one of her chips in her strawberry milkshake.
“Is that any good?” asks Maksim.
“Try it!”
Liesel is the first to try, and when she makes a little mm sound and grins in delight, Billie follows suit. Maks stubbornly keeps his chips and milkshake separate.
Each of Ari’s children has a lovely hand-drawn card for her. She spends the longest time puzzling over Liesel’s; that girl has an artist’s eye like a flashbulb camera, but it disturbs Ari a bit that Liesel chose to draw a startlingly accurate picture of her as she was a few mornings ago, slouched on the couch with a hangover, prying off her high heels. “I saw you in that dress and thought you looked pretty,” says Lise.
She doesn’t understand.
She lets Billie order an extra scoop of ice cream and as they’re waiting for the server to bring it over, she wraps an arm around her oldest daughter’s shoulders and gives her a soft squeeze. Her eyes are a little moist, but she’s trying to hide it.
“Is something the matter, Mum?” asks Billie.
“Nein, it’s just...”
It’s just that last year, she received word of Chris’ death, and now all that’s left in the world of the man she loved is Billie and some brown-haired little girl she saw at the funeral, accompanied by the pretty Muggle woman he’d married after Ari wiped herself from his memory, thinking that would be enough to keep him safe.
“It’s just that this is the last time you and I will be able to spend Mother’s Day together until you’re out of school. I’m going to miss you, meine kleine Mausipupsi.”
