🤞 ~ Brenton

“Ah, Brenton Avery,” Bellatrix said with a grin. “I know I should be talking about him, but I’m quite certain he hates me. I mean, it’s fair, I’m not the nicest to him. Or anyone, really.” In Bellatrix’s mind, though, that made someone weak. If they couldn’t handle her, why should she tolerate them? “He’s good for the Death Eaters, sure, but he drives me insane. I know he’s not much younger than me, but sometimes being around him feels like babysitting. So much energy in one person. It’s maddening.” Bellatrix blew out some air. “At least he’ll commit to some chaos. I’ll give him that.”

🤞 Melaina

“She’s definitely complicated,” Adonis said, mulling over her thoughts about the woman for a second. “I appreciate that she’s willing to fight for her family. Fight for her nephew. I know that feeling well, and I resonate with it. Then again, she does have a murky sense of right and wrong. These days, I find myself in that situation as well, so I suppose I really can’t fault her for it.”

⛄️ James & Mary

It didn’t take much convincing to get James outside after a snowfall. He loved the winter, even though it made quidditch a hell of a lot harder. Still, something about bundling up in the cold weather and doing festive activities made his heart warm. Once he was dressed head to toe in winter attire, James laced up his boots and excitedly took Mary’s hand, pulling her outside. The moment they set foot onto the snow, James did not hesitate to take a snowball and playfully toss it at her, running away and dodging any return fire. 

Picking a spot for their snowman was perhaps the most important part. It would ideally be somewhere with a level surface, and where everyone could see it. Though it took a few minutes to find the perfect spot, James sprung into action once they did, helping Mary by rolling the largest part of the snowman first, which was the base. Mid roll, James had fallen forward into a mini snowbank, which of course was hilarious to watch, so he hadn’t blamed Mary at all for laughing. “Think it’s funny, do you, Macdonald?” he teased, picking himself up and dusting off the snow. “I think I have something even funnier. Come here!” James lunged forward toward her, just missing her as they ran around in the snow trying not to topple over. 

Among the laughter and silliness of it all, James couldn’t help but feel like this side of Mary was something he hadn’t seen in a long time, and he wanted to enjoy it as long as possible. When he finally did catch her, James spun her in a circle before falling backward so that she practically landed on top of him. Once the laughter wore off, James helped her up so that they could continue, building a rather impressive snowman. “Now, for the finishing touches.” James gave a wave of his wand and watched as the sticks for it’s arms slid into place, along with rocks for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. The scarf he took off of his own neck, and let Mary put the nose on. “Well done, Mary. I think we did quite alright. Well enough to deserve some hot chocolate, I’d reckon,” he smiled confidently, giving her a nudge to follow him back inside.

your opinion on werewolves

It wasn’t an opinion Lucius would ever publicly give, but he didn’t actually mind werewolves. They were uncivilized brutes, of course, but they were useful tools in the Dark Lord’s quest to create a better, purer world. He’d implemented several attacks where the sheer strength they could generate was an incredible asset.

In the future though, he’d never allow his son to fraternize with one. Or worse, be bitten.

Name someone who’s failed you. What did they do wrong? How do you feel about them now?

She doesn’t know there name, or their face, or why they were in her house, but she has suspicions. Someone knew she ran a safe house for the Order. Someone knew she was taking care of Harry after the disastrous Easter Festival. Someone knew, and they took advantage of it. They broke in, they took the boy, and no one saw him alive ever again. They ruined her safety and her job. And it’s very likely that, whoever they are, she knows them. She knows them well. Maybe she’s even friendly with them. Because most likely, they’re a member of the Order -- and a spy for the Death Eaters. Even if she unknowingly smiles at them now, she hates them.

11. Have you ever been abandoned? Why do you think you were left behind?

“I’ve never been abandoned so I can’t answer either your first or second question.”  I don’t think I’ve been abandoned just overlooked. When you push enough people away with being so busy with work that you want to do people tend not to remember you. God I hope I haven’t been abandoned.

14. What’s one of your most prized possessions that got destroyed or taken away?

“A professor once took my lighter from me, one time. It was a real expensive one, real silver with engravings and shit. Loved that thing, never saw it back. I’ll bet you a hundred galleons that that damn professor still has it. Anyway, I try not to get too attached to material objects. I, of all people, know all too well how easily they can get taken away.”  He grins guiltily. “Though I did rue the day my doc Martens were beyond saving.”

your opinion on what happened to your brother

“He was killed. I couldn’t tell you why, or how, or who did it, but something doesn’t add up. There’s no way in Merlin’s name that it was an accident. I’m going to find out what happened, and even if it kills me, I won’t stop trying. Elias was never the type of person to just let things happen, he wanted to fight. If I had to bet every galleon I had, I’d say that he got himself into a troubling situation.”
