While she's mostly moved on from the community, Fowler (@literatirps) is easily the most supportive and involved admin I've ever come across and deserves all of the Valentine's Day love in the world, as well as her adorkable Ryder from A Very Gleeful Hogwarts.
Cal, Fow and Penny were the funnest admins I've ever role-played with. I'll never forget averygleefulhogwarts and I solemnly swear I'm up to no good, Admins Ravencal, Hufflefow and Slytherpen!
Someone looked pretty eager to have this written out. XD
Marley Rose and William Leroux, domesticity meme.
Who cooks normally?
I’d like to think that they would both cook or take turns… The real determining factor probably would be who gets home first, between Marley earning for her teaching degree and Billy’s work in the Department of Mysteries. If he’s working late, she cooks. If she’s going to study for something, he cooks. If they’re both free, they help each other out.
How often do they fight?
It’s a rare occasion for the two to fight? But if they do, it’d most likely be about their shared ability to keep a few things secret from each other, and it’d be a giant blowout that would always end in either profusely apologizing to one another before doing little make-up treatments like a dinner outing or a walk somewhere or just cozying up in general.
What do they do when they’re away from each other?
If they had to separate from each other (most likely because Billy has to travel away on business), I can imagine them texting and/or sending owls. He would send trinkets, goodies, and photographs to Marley for her to collect/hold onto, and she’d send care packages… Mostly filled with candy, admittedly, not that Billy ever minds!
Nicknames for each other?
Well, Billy has Marls. I dunno what Marley would call Billy though since he doesn’t really use his name, instead using his nickname. And that nickname’s already simple as is? How about Bunny or Puppy 'cause I dunno, he's got expressions as cute as one of those? XD
Who is more likely to pay for dinner?
Gentleman he is, Billy is far more likely to pay for dinner. That is undeniable.
Who steals the covers at night?
I pin the blame on Billy, always accidental, and he never notices until the morning. But that’s okay because it always gives Marley an excuse to siphon warmth from him by cuddling really close against his frame and nuzzling into his chest.
What would they get each other for gifts?
Both would get music- or candy-related things, that’s practically a default theme right there. I would guess that the both of them would be a little corny when it comes to ideas too? I dunno, haha.
Who kissed who first?
Technically, if we count forehead kisses, Billy.
Who made the first move?
Hmm… Could we pin this as a mutual thing? Because honestly, being the awkward penguins they are, it was an instantaneous connection. Plus it helped that they’re both Ravenclaws, naturally caring for and worrying over each other as housemates at first.
Who remembers things?
I think, overall, Marley. Not that he’s forgetful or anything, but Billy does suffer lapses in consciousness the more stressed and/or burdened he feels. I would guess that, when it comes to important dates and things, he could sometimes crack under the pressure, and she would set him straight by guiding him along into remembering again.
Who started the relationship?
In some way, both would’ve made it official together. Sure, Billy would be doing the asking but, like I always say, it’s a two-way street.
Who cusses more?
I would guess Billy, perhaps, even if the two aren’t much for cursing at all. But if and when he does, it’s always curses in French out of politeness with high hopes that nobody in around him understands.
What would they do if the other one was hurt?
Firstly, it’s necessary to establish that Billy is super-protective physically while Marley is super-protective emotionally. While he would always be the one to go out of his way to do whatever he can to please Marley and keep her safe and comfortable, she’d be the type to nurture and, if necessary, keep distance knowing that Billy has times where he just needs to be alone. All in all, however, they will never be deterred in babying the hell out of each other until the other’s feeling better.
Give me Marilly. I wanna see a hate one, and kiss one? ;)
WHY ARE YOU SO TERRIBLE TO ME. Fine.
William Leroux/Marley Rose, Glee/Harry Potter/Marvel crossover verse.
Ees all under le cut~
Hate: I’ll write our characters hating each other.
They used to be the best of friends.
What happened?
Sometime after the death of Marley’s mother and the young woman’s slow but imminent decline as a personality, shutting out anyone and everyone, William just… Gave up. Gave up on trying to get through, gave up on caring about her, gave up on them in general.
He started to avoid her, and whenever they were in the same room, it was as if they were mutually giving each other the cold shoulder.
Sure, it hurt for a long, long time. But it was a sort of pain, like with many other things in life that he knew he regretted in secret, he got used to and simply lived with in a constant state of cope. There were moments when he would glance at her when he knows she isn’t looking, times he would ask Lily about how she’s doing.
If she didn’t want him around, however, he wasn’t going to go knocking.
And, as time passed, William’s heart grew a little more colder as he marooned himself on a faraway place, concentrating mostly on what little friendships he had left, moving on and only giving as much attention to her as other students as she slowly bled into the background amongst the crowd of others he had the duty of protecting as a prefect to the castle.
There was a point, eventually, when Marley came back after the days in Hogwarts, some odd years later. By then, his heart had completely frozen into his dedication for his work as an auror for the Ministry.
What is love again?
Kiss: I’ll write our characters sharing a kiss, it can be innocent or passionate. (Yeah, I’m sticking with innocent. :P)
It’s been four years now.
Eventually, the chaos caused by Loki came to end by the valiant work of all the Ministry, the professors of Hogwarts, and various students alike. No more grief, no more loss… Just no more.
A calm came over Hogwarts in time for her graduation, and what a lovely ceremony it was, and it was great to see the last of the Weasley-Potters - especially fellow storyteller and sweets lover Lily, pass as fully-fledged wizards and witches.
With it, came a peace in William’s mind as he no longer had to constantly worry as he toiled with his internship-turned-job at the Department of Mysteries, always peering into the Prophecy Room to make out what the future held, even if it always was changing.
Not so much for working in the wizarding world, Marley went into muggle education, gaining a degree in English and Child Development before going on to teach elementary schoolers, sometimes volunteering to tutor for the more impoverished Londoners.
Honestly, neither were too sure when the two finally came together amidst the madness way back when, but they did and, he’ll admit, she was the one to calm his storm just as he was the one to shelter her from her own.
Finishing the last of his monthly paperwork, he shed his glasses, tiredly rubbing his eyelids before lightly massaging his temple. That’s certainly more than enough paper filled with tiny print to last me a couple of lifetimes, he thought to himself as he sat back from his spot on the couch in the living room. Shaking his head softly, William filed them neatly away in his suitcase before standing up and making his way to the bedroom.
Spending a moment or two to adjust his eyes to the lack of light, he couldn’t stop the smile that crossed his lips as he leant against the door frame, peering at the dark, comfortably blanketed form of Marley, fast asleep for a couple of hours now. Too exhausted to care much on shedding his work suit, he shrugged off the coat and his shoes before taking off his tie and a couple buttons of his shirt, slipping into bed behind her curled-up figure, instinctively wrapping an arm around.
She stirred a little, shifting to better fit against his larger body, her hair tickling his chin and nose. Leaning up to give an affectionate peck on the top of her head, William could sense her turn around, knowing Marley was gazing up at him in the shared darkness before feeling her warm breath against his lips as she came in for a soft kiss.
Glad she couldn’t spot the blush on his features, he returned the gesture before pulling away just enough to give a breath before he whispered, “Night Marls.”
I know it only has been closed for a few months and I only joined a few months into it, but I already miss A Very Gleeful Hogwarts. It was the first real rp that made me feel a part of a family. Thank you for being awesome admins Cal, Penny, and Fow. We miss you dearly!
