Was working on this a while back, before the Great Computer Crash of '23 (I lost so much art and stuff, ugh.) Don't know if I'll ever get around to finishing the background, so figured I'd go ahead and post it.
This is Talbott from Hogwarts Mystery with my character Aurelia in their final year at school (they're 18 here, to be clear.)
HPHM April prompts 2021 - Day 1 by @stupendousbookworm
Since Talia Hayes never met anyone from the gang apart from Talbott for a brief moment during her limited stay at Hogwarts, I had to stop for a hot minute to think. But she did meet the twins in chaper 17 of Late Night Enchantments, titled Mischief Managed, so I used this as a sort of continuation.
Peering over Talbott’s shoulder, Talia’s eyes turned to slits as she set her gaze on the Weasley twins enjoys breakfast at the Gryffindor table “Still mad they used Boggarts as a prank?”
Looking over at Talbott, she shook her head “What is up with them? Bill appears to be the exact opposite of those mischievous kids.”
Shrugging his shoulders, he just tilted his head, mind digging up numerous pranks he himself witnessed during his last year at Hogwarts “Truth be told, maybe we have a thing or two to learn from them. You know in case we need to prank Jasper and his hoard of brainless monkeys.” he smirked.
Throwing her head back, Talia actually let out a loud laugh, the very idea tickling her funny bone. Jasper would deserver each and everyone one of those pranks for what he put them through “You’re right.” Getting up, Talbott cocked a brow, suspicious of her intentions “And after cracking my belt against their butts yesterday, perhaps this can be a way to make peace.”
With a confident strut, her feet led her near the two boys, who stopped giggling, their eyes widening to indescribable proportions as she sat down, requesting to partake in the pranks they had planned for the last day of the school year.
“Does this mean you will teach us your animation spell?” Fred beamed at her, a large smile lighting up his eyes.
“Looks like you two still haven’t learned your lesson.” Talia grinned back at them “So what were you planning for Filch?”
True to her word, she did accompany the twins, them mumbling something amongst themselves if to trust her or not. After all, they didn’t know her, they barely knew Talbott and now the woman he came with suddenly wanted to help them with their final prank with Filch? What if she ratted them out? But what if she helped them since she was more versed in spells than them? What if she was just curious?
Opening the door to Filch’s office, George and Fred took off the backpacks they had “Come on, we need to place these all over the office.” Working quickly, they carefully placed small bags of colorful powder inside file cabinets, under the desk and every corner they could possibly find.
Turning around on his heels, Fred clapped his hands together “So we enlarge them and then BOOM!”
“BOOM!” George beamed.
“BOOM!” all three froze, stealing glances at the door as Filch quickly opened them, Ms. Norris hissing showing off her teeth “I have you now you filthy kids."
“Well now, this is interesting.” Talia chuckled, Filch quickly realizing he did not have a name to address her by as he did not know who the girl in front of them was “Obliviate.” Her wand came out, spell leaving him in a daze as they slipped by, shoving him inside, Ms. Norris trying to scratch George.
“That bloody cat is a menace.” Only to receive a slap upside the head from Talia.
“Language. Now, please.”
The twins pointed their wands towards the ajar office door, powder bags exploding causing Filch to scream as they ran behind a corner to assess their handy word, snickering along the way. As him and Ms. Norris came out covered in bright colors, they almost gave away their locations as Filch took to the corridors yelling out curses and chanting torture methods one by one.
By the time she found Talbott, she was laughing, holding on to her stomach. Detailing the events, he listened carefully "But water would make a bigger mess. Oh and glitter, you can never get rid of that stuff. Creative right?"
(Imagine how easy these asks would be with a ship name, hihi xD)
Hi hi hi, NO, no ship name XD
1. What's the biggest wish the members of your otp have for the other? Is it a wish that could come true? Do they actively work towards it?
Talbott wishes for Talia to manage to find that calm and settle down, stop running, stop fearing for her life. Alas that's a wish that doesn't come true, not even in later years.
Talia wishes for him to be safe. There's a constant struggle in her head and heart, as long as she is with him there is a risk, but she also loves him too much to stay away. It does come true in a sense for him but not for her.
5. What's your otp's ideal vision of the future? What would they want to happen? Where would they want to live?
They get to have a family and a home of their own, which is what they normally gravitate towards lets say. Ideally would have been for all of them to stand the test of time.
11. What is your otp's most special moment? If they could travel back in time to relive it, would they? Would they change anything?
Now see we aren't there yet, in the moment that they consider special, not in the story and it's right at the end so no, no spoilers. But they would go back to relieve it and would not change a thing
