Summer Dream | 1979 | Coven

@conniesewlyn

Come the end of his seventh year, Maven was sure of a lot of things regarding how his future was going to shape up. He knew that he was going to start healer training only a few weeks after graduating. He knew that he was going to be spend a lot of time and energy avoiding a very specific conversation with his father and he knew that he wanted to spend time with Connie. 

They’d grown close since he’d met her in the kitchens a few years back, and over the last couple of weeks, he felt as though things had shifted slightly, from strictly friendly to possibly something more. He couldn’t speak for her of course, but now that NEWTS were officially over and he didn’t have to spend every moment of time he had sleeping or studying or eating, he thought it was a pretty good time to have a chat with her and see if she was feeling the same way. 

Their Charms practical had been the last of their exams and a lot of the students were headed out to the grounds, but Maven had asked Connie to meet him in a small turret that they had found earlier that year. It was out of the way and faced the mountains and Maven had taken to thinking of it as their spot, even if they didn’t hang out there all that often. He grabbed some cookies from the kitchen on his way to meet her, and took a seat on the stone bench when he saw that he was the first to arrive.

In the End | 1981 | Rovan

Evan didn’t much remember how he’d gotten to St. Mungo’s, or a whole lot of the event that had led to him needing to be at the hospital, but when he finally managed to keep his eyes open for more than just a few seconds, Maven’s face was above his and he’d never seen his little brother more scared in his life. He wanted to ask him what was wrong, and then he noticed the the ceiling was rushing by above him and Maven’s mouth started moving but he couldn’t quite make out what he was saying and he started shaking his head, but that only caused a terrible pain to rip through his chest and make it difficult to breath. 

“Don’t move.” Maven said clearly and Evan clenched his fists at his sides, but found it best to listen to him. Soon he had passed out again. 

When he woke up a again, everything was much quieter. There was a steady beeping noise somewhere to his left, but that was it. He slowly turned his head around, looking over where he was as more of what had happened started to come back to him. Things had really gone to shit quickly. He tried to reach up to push his hair away from his eyes, but his hand got stuck on something and he looked down carefully to see that he was chained to the bed. He thought that was a bit unnecessary as he couldn’t move off this bed if his life depended on it. Luckily his other hand wasn’t chained and he was able to lift it, very slowly and brush away his hair. The whole action seemed to hurt more than it helped and his arm fell limp against his chest. 

“You’ve got to stop moving,” Maven said, walking through the door with a nurse. He moved to check his vitals, his eyes glancing down at the handcuffs, his eyes wide. 

“Why are you looking at me like that, MJ?” He asked quietly, his voice scratching at his throat. Maven glanced up at him and then looked back at the floor. 

“You’ve been unconscious for almost twelve hours.” He said. “I didn’t think you were going to wake up.”  

“Yeah, but I did,” Evan said, pressing against his chest slightly as a sharp pain started to travel through him. “I’m going to be alright, yeah?” Maven didn’t say anything to that and Evan clenched his hands. “I’m going to be alright, May.” He said, deciding that it was best not to put that in the form of a question. Maven nodded. 

“I’m going to try and get Rory in to see you.” He said quietly, acting as though he didn’t want the nurse to hear him, not commenting on what Evan had said. “And mum was called in to the Auror department, Belle went with her. They’ll be back soon I imagine.” 

“You’ll try to-” Maven’s look cut him off. 

“I’ll come back as soon as I can, alright?” He said, marking something on his clipboard and then walking off to go and find Rory again. He’d promised to tell her if Evan woke up.

Hoping for Forever | 1996 | Coven

@conniesewlyn

They had been talking about going to Paris for a while now, but Maven had wanted to save it for a special occasion, and their one year anniversary seemed like the perfect kind of special occasion. Of course, he had more planned than an anniversary dinner and the like, but Connie didn’t know that. 

They’d made plans and packed up their things and left early in the morning, arriving at their penthouse suite and checking in. When Maven pushed open the door he grinned as the entire back wall was almost entirely windows and they had a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower, even if there weren’t many places that you couldn’t see it from in the city. He had both of their bags and he set them down on the end of the bed before looking over at her. “So? What do you think?” He asked. They hadn’t seen anything yet, but Connie already had her camera out. It seemed glued to her hand whenever they were traveling and Maven was glad that she liked to capture everything. It was fun to look back over all the things they’d done together.

It’s Not All Sunshine | 1996 | Coven

Marven was running late. There had been an emergency surgery that he’d been pulled into and he barely had time to ask one of his underlings to owl Connie for him. They were going out to dinner tonight and he wasn’t going to be too late so that they couldn’t go, just that they were going to have to rush a bit. He asked her to meet him at his flat instead of him picking her up like he usually did. 

Things were going extremely well for the two of them. They’d been seeing each other quite frequently for some time now. He kept waiting for some type of issue to arise, but there were never any problems. They just kept making more and more plans and doing more and more things and he couldn’t stop smiling when she was around and his heart was always thumping loudly in his chest. Everything seemed to be perfect. 

As soon as the surgery ended, he flooed back to his flat and shrugged out of his robes. Connie wasn’t there just yet, so he went into the bedroom, grabbed the clothes he was going to wear out tonight and then headed into the bathroom to shower. He hated going out after working without showering. It made him feel like he was still carrying around the days work with him.

Bella Notte | 1995 | Coven

Maven had become pretty anxious about his date with Connie on Saturday. He got home after seeing her at the pub and walking her home, and he realized that she was eleven years younger than him. He’d known this before of course but it didn’t really hit him until she was no longer with him. He knew this wasn’t completely terrible, and it clearly wasn’t a deal breaker because he was still going over to her flat for dinner. 

He put on a nice shirt, combed his hair back and grabbed a bottle of red wine before he apperated to her street. He started towards her door, his heart beating a bit faster than normal but he figured it was more to do with excitement than nerves, he really did want to see her again. He reached up and fixed his hair before knocking on the door and waiting for her to come and greet him.

Medical Advice | 1979 | Maven & Marlene

Maven had started his Healer training as soon as he graduated Hogwarts, instead of opting to take the summer off as most people did. He didn’t want to be under his fathers gaze any longer than he had to, if he hung around the house too much, he was afraid that his father might suggest he join the fight, take the mark and become a Death Eater, and that wasn’t a conversation he was ready to have. He knew Evan didn’t want him to join the ranks, and that he was the only reason their father hadn’t yet talked to him about it more than in passing. 

So the end of July came around and he was already preparing for his first round of medical examinations, but of course there were other requirements, and that included interning at St. Mungo’s to help counteract the problems they were having with under staffed shifts. His job was to do what just about anyone off the street was qualified to do, which was run discharge papers and make sure the patients felt confident enough to leave without being seen by a healer again. This freed time up for the Healers and the nurses. 

He was headed to his next room when he caught sight of the name that was on his clipboard. Marlene McKinnon. He sighed heavily as he pushed open the door and saw the blonde for the first time in over a month. She and Evan had split, and though Evan had told him this, he hadn’t offered up many details and so Maven hadn’t asked. 

“Good evening, Marlene,” He said, smiling in a way he hoped wasn’t awkward.
