23. What are your muse’s guilty pleasures?

Curling up with a book in bed and reading into the night, buying new quills and/or pens, a glass of wine after work, buying new plants for her little cottage

24. What are your muse’s bad habits?

Making lists of all the bad things that could happen (and then obsessively rereading the list), trying to tell her students how to live their lives when it’s none of her business, staying up too late reading and then sleeping through her alarms in the morning, running into staff meetings late (although she’s usually punctual at all other times) 

25. What is your muse’s biggest regret and why?

Although she’s been very happy with her family the way it is, a part of Aster does regret that she knows so little about her mother. Her father doesn’t speak of her at all, and Aster respects that; but since he won’t say anything and Granny Pomona doesn’t actually know anything, Aster is stuck when it comes to the knowledge she wants.

1. Has your muse ever had to deal with a significant loss? And if so, how did they cope with the grief of that? (Loss does not necessarily have to mean death here.)

Andre lost his mother - and that’s actually not the loss we’re going to talk about, but the lost of stability that followed. His mother had been the glue in the Trelawney family, helping his siblings and father relate with the sometime odd behaviors / beliefs that Sybill and Andre bonded over. And when the glue disappears? Everything falls apart, just like the Trelawney family did after her death.

With his father throwing himself into his work and Andre’s siblings going to visit relatives on her side of the family; Andre was left alone with Sybill who had never necessarily been the best role model and wasn’t coping with the grief of losing his mother well ( the two women had been close; with Rowan ( Andre’s mother ) being the one to suggest that the older woman move into their home after she left her position at Hogwarts ). And so the two, left to their own devices and a crippling fear of further loss began a downward spiral together. After ten years of being sober, Sybill began to drink again, heavily, with Andre frequently joining her.

In the time since, his coping skills have only improved slightly as his father has begun to move on and pick up the pieces of the family that have been left behind. And being at Hogwarts makes it easier to forget what happened - though he still finds himself less than sober fairly often.

38. If your muse had access to a time turner, what would they do with it?

Andre likes to tell himself that he would do something selfless with it - like warn people of the upcoming attacks by the death eaters or perhaps stop Voldemort from ever coming to be. But he isn’t a selfless person in general, and he knows that in truth he would use it to save his mother, and not to give her back to his family. He wants her back - wants back the stability that she provided, the comforting hugs after a vision, the soothing words of advice that can only really come from someone who doesn’t quite believe that it’s real. She always had a way of convincing him to dismiss the fears that visions only enhanced, and he wants that back.

39. What would your muse change about their lives or themselves if given the opportunity? Why?

If Andre could change anything about his life or himself, he would choose to change certain aspects of his personality - which is kind of the biggest part of him if you ask him and thus the thing that he tends to focus on flaws wise. He knows that he can be flighty, jumping from task to task, never quite able to focus on one thing for too long without growing bored. It’s something that he dislikes about himself, because he does have goals / dreams that he wants to see through but often finds himself unable to do so.

16. Who is the most important person in your muse’s life and why?Since her father was arrested, Juliette has been afraid ( shut up, don’t talk about it )  to let very many people get close to her. Her parents treated her more like a trophy than a child by her grandparents - put on a shelf and ignored unless taken down to show off - so she didn’t really have ‘playdates’ or learn how to connect with people like other children. Her closest friend by far is Maddison Bulstrode, whom has become almost like the other half of her personality as she is one of the few children ( if not the only ) that Juliette interacted with on a regular basis growing up.

17. Who is your muse’s worst enemy and why?Time. It teases and mocks her. Also, literally anyone whom has ever been associated with Harry Potter. ‘Cause f*ck him and the broom he rode in on. Especially Lily Potter.

What would your muse be doing right now if the war had never happened? How would their life be different?

I think this depends on where Fenrir would stand in this scenario --- would he still have his pack? 

If not, Kimiko would have grown up with her biological parents and life would have looked very different. She was born to two halfblooded wixes, and would have grown up in the country of Norfolk, England. Life would have been stable and safe and not perfect, but a whole of a lot better than it is now. ( But, to be fair, not much is needed for life to be better than it is now. ) Kimiko would still have been an edgy bastard, would still have been prone to criminal activity, but all in a much lighter way. She would be less apathetic, that’s the main thing. That’s where it all goes wrong, to be honest, in her inability to truly care about most things. She would care more, would have more reason to care --- because what does it matter now if she earns good grades? If she makes friends outside her pack? She fails to see the use in a lot of basic things, and I think she would, then.

If Fenrir would still have been in the picture, I think maybe Kimiko would have -- maybe -- started to look at life more critically and consider her loyalties and wonder about what she truly thinks and feels, rather than follow blindly. But who knows? I sure don’t.

Would your muse ever consider making a horcrux? Alternatively, do you think they’d be capable of destroying a horcrux?

No. Kimiko doesn’t see any reason to have more than one life. She doesn’t really value her own that much to begin with, so to split her soul so she can live on if she dies ... well shit, that sounds bloody exhausting. Death is death. Once it comes knocking on her door, she’ll gladly follow.

And well --- I guess she would be capable of destroying one, but only if she had good reason? Maybe if Greyback had horcruxes, she would want to destroy them, but at this moment I don’t see her having any reason to destroy any horcruxes and put herself through that amount of stress and work.

Would your muse be capable of using any of the Unforgivable Curses? And would they ever do so or have they ever done so in the past?

Only the killing curse. Imperio is the scariest curse to Kimiko, I think, as the idea of not having free will is terrifying ( ironically enough --- she does have free will, of course, technically, but it sure as hell doesn’t feel that way, with the impact Fenrir Greyback has had on her ... well, everything ). Crucio is cruel and harsh and Kimiko might be amoral and apathetic, she doesn’t get off of hurting people physically. Killing someone is --- well, the killing curse is almost merciful, she thinks. Compared to the curses Death Eaters like to use, it’s kind. It’s a quick death, painless and easy. 

Though, I think context is very important here --- if she was put in a situation where she had to do it, if there was pressure from Greyback/Death Eaters, she would most likely do it. Self preservation is second nature to Kimiko, after all.

If your character could have any power in the world, what power would they choose?

Well --- I think, in a world without magic, it would be teleportation, but you know, apparition exists. I think Fenna would really like to be able to be invisible, because ... sometimes you just want to ghost in real life. 

All jokes aside, though ---- Fenna would like to have the possibility to disappear. For their safety, first and foremost, in this world especially, but also just because it’d be nice to be able to just fade away, at times. It sure would make life a lot easier. I mean, Fenna is a passive person and being able to fade away, to become invisible --- that fits perfectly with that. 

What is your muse’s favorite myth or fairytale?

Eros and Psyche!!!!! We love a love story in this hopeless romantic’s house! Fairytale wise, Fenna really enjoyed Hans Christian Andersen’s stories growing up, especially the Princess and the Peach and The Little Match Girl ( again, they’re emo ).

What is your muse’s favorite song?

Already answered, but here is a playlist.

we’re so starving

pretty. odd. answers;

we’re so starving: have you ever left someone high and dry?

Placing a hand ever-so-delicately on his own chest, he gives an over-dramatic gasp. “Me? Never!” The feigned shock at such a question’s barely given a breath to form into other thoughts when Teddy smiles, then half-shrugging. “At least, not that I’m aware of. I’m not exactly the most reliable when it comes to my own credibility – but I’m pretty sure if I’d ever did someone dirty, Vic ( @vicweasley ) would’ve smacked me upside the head by now.”
