11: FleurBill
"May I 'elp you today, monsieur?"
"No, no, it goes like this: 'May I help you today, sir?'"
"May I 'elp you today, sir?"
"No! 'May I HELP you today, sir?'"
"May I be of service today, sir?"
"NO—oh, well, good enough, then. I guess that's one way of avoiding those seemingly pesky h-words… Um, let's see…"
"Would you 'ave dinner wiz me aftair work?"
"What? No, no, that's all wrong. It's, 'Would you have dinner with me after…work…'"
"Well? I do not 'ave zat much patience, William Weasley."
"Oh, um, yeah… I mean, yes! Yes, Fleur. Yes."
12: TeddyLilyluna
Once upon a time, Teddy picked up a young Lily Luna Potter who ran at him, screaming about the amazing first year she'd had at Hogwarts. He picked her up in his arms then.
And then! One day he picked her up when this git—Scorpius Malfoy, his cousin, of all people!—broke her heart. She fit so delicately in his arms that day, too.
And then! Lily walked to him from across the room, her bitten nails hidden in her sleeves like the little girl she'd once been. Not anymore, though.
And, oh, she was in his arms again…
13: DaphneTheo
She'll chew her lips as much as she wants, thank you very much.
Daphne's got plenty of reasons to—Pansy's so bloody bossy, Astoria's doing Merlin-knows-what with Draco (and at their age!), Blaise is being a pompous…well, yes, you get the point.
"You're practically eating your lipstick, Daphne," Theodore states.
She pauses and looks at him. He didn't even look up at her, his nose still in his magazine. He always seems to know what she's doing even if he's not looking.
She sticks her tongue out at him, returning to her thoughts… Draco and Astoria…? Really…? Ho hum…
14: RowenaGodric
The castle was a beautiful find. It was good that Godric had had the presence of mind to claim it and come to them with the school idea. Well, the school idea was one they'd shared for a little while now, but now their dream was coming to fruition.
Rowena mused who would claim what part of the castle. Salazar was probably already hiding out in the dungeons. Helga was likely to be down in the kitchens, making a meal for them.
All Rowena needed was this, her library. Her books, her peace and quiet…
…here comes Godric…to "ruin" it.
15: ColinRomilda
Unbelievable!
Colin will always clearly remember how he was mesmerized by Harry upon his arrival to Hogwarts. Colin will always feel the same way. Harry will always be his idol and friend, and Colin would never shirk that for anything. Honestly, Colin might trade his camera if he has to make sure he and Harry always stay in touch. Harry's just that great a guy. Dennis is almost as amazed by Harry as Colin is, but Dennis doesn't get it the way Colin does.
However, Harry doesn't seem that great a guy now that he's unwillingly wooed pretty, pretty Romilda.
16: PetuniaSirius
Every now and then, Petunia would see them. It didn't matter that Petunia didn't like them coming around—Lily and their parents were fine with it. But visit they did, and Petunia narrowed her eyes, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder so as to ignore them.
"Oi, James, I thought you and Lily were friends," the tallest one, Sirius Black, calls to James Potter, who's snogging Petunia's sister.
"Leave them alone, Sirius," the frail one, Remus Lupin, says as he fiddles with the fraying edge of his sweater.
Sirius winks at Petunia, who scoffs. She really hates their kind.
17: SybillSeverus
Insanity runs rampant. Sybill knows that better than anyone.
She was there in their school days. She didn't know he'd been there when she made a startling prophecy also about which she didn't know. But she was there for much of their teaching careers, too.
It stings somewhat, though, watching Severus turn into something he's not. Sybill wishes she hadn't come back this year, with Dark magic clinging to every bit of the school…clinging to every bit of him.
Severus—she wishes she could foresee the Dark powers leaving him alone. She'd make them leave him if she could.
18: LeeMarietta
In hindsight, maybe it was rather cruel that Marietta's attractive face was scarred.
Hermione didn't think of that, did she? Lee knew that not even Fred and George would've been that bad…all right, maybe Fred would've convinced George they would have to do something about Marietta, because she did betray the D.A., but…
Marietta only said something because she was worried—about herself, about her friend, about—maybe even about the D.A. to start. Lee can almost understand that; he might do the same thing for the twins if he were in her position.
So he'll tell her that.
19: OrionWalburga
He didn't want to stick to tradition. He wanted at least some time away from the Black family. He wanted to test the waters of the world outside of Black Manor. He wanted to see if making a name for himself could be worth it.
He was raised to be a good boy, though. He was going to be the next Black patriarch. She was going to be the next Black matriarch.
But Walburga's eyes were on him when his were on the world. When he finally looked at her, her eyes were dead, blank.
Marrying was such a mistake.
20: PiersDudley
When Potter left, Dudley deflated. He kind of became a—a good person.
Disgusting.
Dudley used to be so tough and dominant and—and cool.
Charming.
Dudley now cared about his family and his future. Did he even need it?
Coddling?
Potter was a funny sort, but Dudley never said why. He worried more that his future might lead down the same path.
Not listening.
Dudley tried new things—this and that and even the most surprising of things. Piers couldn't let him go alone, could he?
Shutting up now.
Oh. So Dudley…is ready to try Piers?
How exhilarating.
