“  i don’t think you’re evil.  i think you’re just lost.  and alone.  and you don’t know anything else.  ”

Draco looked at her, humming softly at her statement. He tilted his head as he considered her words, wondering how to answer them. His younger self would have been appalled that she had, in fact, called him out so bluntly. Now? He knew better. He knew she was right. He knew she had hit the nail on the head sharper than anyone had before her.

"I'm glad you don't think I'm evil." he murmured softly, his eyes downcast as he spoke. "Lost? Not so much anymore."

A beat passed as he considered the next part of her statement. "I've been alone for a very long time; so I absolutely cannot disagree with you there." he murmured softly. "I can't say that you're wrong. Years ago, I definitely didn't know better. I'd like to think I do now, though." he finished, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his thigh, the only tell of his discomfort.

‘If you don’t mind, I would appreciate it if you could lower your wand.’ {Any Harry Potter muse of your choice ^^}

“Hermione!” Ron hissed, lowering his wand automatically, the other hand coming up to run fingers through tousled, red hair. 

“Don’t sneak up on me like that. Bloody. Hell.” Ron paused after each word, inhaling deeply as he puffed his reddish toned cheeks with his exhale. Blue eyes roving around the room, normally Harry was there as a buffer but he was at Quidditch practice that day. 

Of course, Ron never had an issue spending time with Hermione alone but these days their friendship was becoming slightly strained. But then, they were always stressed with Harry and did not have much time for themselves. “Sorry, “ Ron murmured, sheepishly.

🎄  ─  decorate a Christmas tree together from @gentlepuff

"You know, I think Ron would mock me endlessly for doing it by hand." Harry murmured, "But there's something about Christmas; about decorating that feels so much better without magic, you know?" Grabbing an ornament he slowly hung it off a higher off branch of the tree, "You're sure you're okay doing it this way?" he questioned finally.

@gentlepuff Sent in: ❛ I’ve heard about you, but this is our first time talking. ❜

"My reputation precedes me or some shit like that?" he asked with an amused smirk. "Well er, it's good to meet you. I'm Steve but, you probably already knew that." He shifted awkwardly and then extended his hand politely. "Are you- uh, Are you new to Hawkins?"

@gentlepuff | liked for a starter

Fingers tapped against the desk as his head tilted in thought. Rookwood. Rookwood. He was the one behind Anne's ailment, not goblins. It had to be good news right? Dark magic would be easier to overturn than goblin magic right? Eilidh hadn't spoken to him in a few days, to busy trying to get Ominis to not turn him in.

A pang in his chest tightened, the crushing weight of his Uncle's death falling over him. Merlin. Hands moved to scrape over his face before he noticed he wasn't alone. "Odette! Sorry, I was a million miles away, how are you?"

spotify wrapped has arrived. send me a number from 1-100 for a starter based on that song, or a lyric from it, or send a 🎁 for me to shuffle. from @gentlepuff

"It's done in steps, y'know?" Steve shrugged, "You say you need to talk- he'll try to walk away and so you it's just a talk." he hesitated, "At least that's how it always goes when I try it..." The young man glanced over at the other, offering a small awkward smile. "Sorry, I'm getting lost in my own thoughts." He was still trying to figure out where he had went wrong in his own story. "For what it's worth I'll pray that they hear you."

@gentlepuff asked: ❛ I’m not as strong as you think I am. ❜ {To Ominis ^^}

"No, no, no-" Ominis' lips tightened into a thin line. He stopped himself. He was beginning to get frustrated with Odette. After reluctantly offering to help her with her spell work, he quickly realized her spellcasting wasn't the problem. She was more than capable, but was the lack of confidence that got in the way of her casting.

Unfortunately for Ominis, he wasn't sure how he could help her overcome insecurity. Consoling friends was something that Ominis was never good at. Instead of warmth and comfort, he usually went with cold and candid. However, he knew Odette. Odette was a kind soul. To Ominis, she was the epitome of the Hufflepuff house. He was reluctant in understanding that training someone like Odette versus someone like Sebastian required a different approach.

"I'm only going to say this once. Your incantations are perfect. I felt the energy in your spell. Sebastian's seen your wand work. You are strong, you have it down-- Do you understand what I'm saying?" His brows furrowed before he buried his face in his hands. He sighed before looking up in the direction of her voice.

"Odette, you are strong. You just need to believe it. Now, try again."
