A very happy birthday (whatever’s left of it) to my lovely friend, Alice.

What a meme, am I right? Alice is so good, and deserves all the happiness on this, her birthday.

Here’s to many more conversations equating US government leaders to Harry Potter characters, screaming about Dance Academy, and geeking out about various facets of academia.

Happy happy happiest of birthdays to my clone, @seriouslyprongs

Driven mcgonagall into retirement yet, Puck?

McGonagall: Mr. Prickett, please get to class.

McGonagall: Puck for the last time please get to class. *mutters to herself* Why do I put up with these students?

Confession #009

12, 20, 27! ~

Ask me! I'll answer honestly

12: Do you prefer tea, coffee, or cocoa?

It really depends. I have a hella bad caffeine addiction so I have to have at least one coffee every morning, but after that if I’m craving a hot drink I’ll normally go for tea. Hot Chocolate I like but it kinda makes me feel sick if it’s too sweet.

20: Do you like space or the ocean more?

The ocean. Easy answer. I grew up by the ocean and moved to landlocked Alberta, Canada when I was 16 and I miss the beach ever day of my life.

27: Any phobias or fears?

I have a strange irrational fear of animated frogs; but on a more rational note wolves scare the shit out of me, same for coyotes. My dorm room in my first year of uni had a window facing a valley and I heard coyotes almost every night and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry sometimes.

The Stag and the Doe, Chapter Twenty: This Means War

((OOC: James: @actinganimagus, Dorcas: @seriouslyprongs, Marlene: @askwhathasthiscometo, Sirius: @astroboletos)) Previous Chapter Masterpost

The following days inched by in deafening silence. 

The seven friends found themselves sitting around the fire, barely speaking a word, but waiting endlessly for news.

All of them hoping it would be good.

But knowing deep down…

That they would never see their friend again.

And their lives would be changed forever.

The students gathered in the Headmaster’s office, silent and solemn, enduring the somber stares of the many portraits adorning the walls. Albus Dumbledore stood behind the desk, Minerva McGonagall to his right, both with looks of heartache etched across their features.

No one spoke for a long time.

Remus’ voice was the first to break the silence. “She’s gone?”

Dumbledore held up a hand, silencing then all. “There is nothing worse in this life than the pain of losing someone we love.”

“And many will, Miss Evans, with everything they have. I must ask something of all of you, now. But first, I need to know that nothing we discuss will leave this office.”

“Your word?”

Remus nodded, and Peter murmured, “...sure.”

Dumbledore’s head lowered. “We believe this was not a random attack, but one orchestrated by Voldemort himself.”

Lily clutched onto James’ wrist, knuckles white in fear.

“As all of you know, Miss MacDonald mobile and attacked once before. We believe the students behind her attack have joined Voldemort’s legions.”

"But why now?,” Remus said, his tone even and composed, despite his face betraying every single emotion. “And why Mary? Why orchestrate an attack on a random school girl?

"I mean...she is muggleborn?,” Peter said. “Do they really need a reason?

Albus sat back in his chair, the bright eyes jumping between the youth in front of him. The want for answer, justice, revenge...it was to touch and feel between them. Before Albus could speak-

“This...” James said, his voice breaking slightly, “wasn’t random a random attack.”

"The Ministry is hunting him, aren’t they?” Peter asked.

“Sirius!” Remus exclaimed, “Let them talk for Merlin’s sake!”

“and while we do, people outside the castle are being slaughtered! Now a student has fallen victim to that fascist monster, and here we are, still bloody TALKING!!” 

The golden instrument that previously lived on one of the headmasters desks went sailing into the air, before hitting the wall, a loud bang solidifying the silence that followed Sirius’ outburst. The piercing blue eyes of Albus Dumbledore noticed them all. They all wanted to do something similar. Sirius’ anger had somehow calmed them all. That was just what he needed.

“I believe something very rare has happened in this room,” Dumbledore’s voice echoed.

Everyone looked at Albus, puzzled.

"Lily Evans just said something very false indeed…”

"What did you say about the current balance of power?”

“They’re fighting a losing battle.,” James added.

Dumbledore silenced the group again with a raised hand. “I ask you now: if given the opportunity, will you fight back?

A sad smile crept onto McGonagall’s thin lips. Dumbledore cleared his throat.

“In secret, I have gathered forces from around Britain, and inside the Ministry of Magic. A growing resistance. It is a secret society, known only to a few chosen members as... the Order of the Phoenix.”

The group looked at each other. That silent glow was back. The urge to fight. They all listened with earnest intrigue as Dumbledore continued...

“It is our mission to defeat Voldemort and his followers—“

No one laughed, but looked at their Headmaster in earnest. Yes, this is what they wanted: their own rebellion. To fight in Mary’s name. To take down those who would bring more harm to the ones they cared about the most. To fight for a world where the people they loved didn’t have to live in constant fear.

As they all left the Headmasters office an hour later, the tension, and sorrow that had been eating them alive earlier was replaced with a fire. 

A fire as strong as the blaze of a dying phoenix.  

Every one of the seven young Gryffindors was ready to watch Voldemort and his Death Eaters burn.

And Albus Dumbledore was offering them a match.

Noir et Blanc: an Interlude

((Part 1 | Interlude | Part 2

Bellatrix Lestrange by the beautiful @seriouslyprongs

Text taken from Chapter 30 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling))

“We have heard the evidence against you.”

Andromeda slips into Courtroom Ten just in time for the trial to begin

“The four of you stand accused of capturing an Auror - Frank Longbottom - and subjecting him the the Cruciatus Curse believing him to have knowledge of the present whereabouts of  your exiled master, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.”

Bellatrix catches sight of her estranged sister

“You are further accused of using the Cruciatus Curse on Frank Longbottom’s wife, when he would not give you information.”

Andromeda shudders and breaks eye contact with her sister

“You planned to restore He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to power, and to resume the lives of violence you presumably led while he was strong.”

No longer receiving the attention she was so enjoying from Andromeda, Bellatrix speaks for the first time during the trial

“I now ask the jury to raise their hands if they believe, as I do, that these crimes deserve a life sentence in Azkaban.”
