“When falsehood can look so like the truth, who can assure themselves of certain happiness?” ― Mary Shelley

[calliopexhollis]

  What are you reading, nerd?

[thequieterlestrange]

Something about... a witch being burned because she was a nuisance to those she interacted with. Especially because she was one witchy witch.

  Did you not hear me? [clears throat] It’s past curfew already.

[thequieterlestrange]

Already? Time sure flies when you're reading good books.

[zseungmin]

  I was wondering if I could get that bag that’s behind you. It’s kind of… mine.

[thequieterlestrange]

[Reaches back and gets ahold of the bag.] I wasn't aware I was in front of it. I'm... sorry, really. [Hands it to her.] Here.

[calliopexhollis]

  Am I wasting your precious time?

[thequieterlestrange]

No, not really, Alecto. I was just curious, is all.

[thequieterlestrange]

Why are you even talking to me?

  "I’ll probably just stop caring at some point. Right now, I figured I can at least make it look like I give a damn. In two months? Ploy’ll be up by then." 

[thequieterlestrange]

As long as you get passing marks, right? Doesn't matter how, all that matters is that it happens.

[lunamarauder]

  Well, it’s still after curfew, so you need to be heading back to the dungeons.

[thequieterlestrange]

Trust me, I'm heading back there. There's literally no other place I'd be going to right now. No funny business.

[ofstagsandquaffles]

"Term’s barely started and I’m already fed up with all these assignments."

[thequieterlestrange]

Just wait until we really get rolling into things, Sirius. You think it's bad now, brace yourself.

  "Ah, you have my condolences as well, extra condolences actually because I think you’ve got it worse." She listened to Rabastan with a smile, she could hear the discomfort in his voice. "Listen, love, I’m the poster child for optimism and I can tell you she’ll drive you bonkers. You have to be very careful with her, ya know?” Adeline shook her head and gave him the best disapproving look she could muster. ”I got a warning for you,too, bring a book, and I’ll toss from eight floor up.” She said with a chuckle.

[thequieterlestrange]

I think I need all the luck, seeing as I already practically had death threats from her. We're not even married and she's already telling me to watch-- she's so loving, isn't she? She's confusing though, it's like she wants me to pay attention to her and when I do, she's just a bitch. So, I'll continue to do what I do best: ignore her for the most part. Ads, you wouldn't dare, would you? That's a long fall for a precious book.

[fleurdexacour]

  Come on, have some fun.

[thequieterlestrange]

Our definitions of fun are very different things, you know. I'm pretty certain that the answer will sound ridiculous if I said it aloud, though.

[thelouderlestrange]

  I know. But still, maybe I shouldn’t group you in with the rest of the hormone plagued roaches that inhabit this castle. So she just took her shirt off and expected you to… Wow, as much as I hate to say it, that’s actually not too unexpected from her. She’ll get over herself, eventually. I’m sure most of them do. 

[thequieterlestrange]

You should never group me with them; I'm far better than they are, you know. I guess but the bloody note she put on my bed said talk. I assumed we'd at least try to make some agreement to the ridiculous marriage thing facing us. Had she known I wouldn't have come if she told the truth? No, since she honestly was so surprised I turned her down that she kicked me out the room... What really did she expect? She already told me I should watch out for poison-- then she tries to... Roddy, girls are just... weird.

[thelouderlestrange]

  Shh, don’t spread ‘Roddy’ around again. Merlin knows people made that nickname seem so awful. Yes, fire. Why did I know that would catch your attention? 

[thequieterlestrange]

Why not? 'Roddy' is adorable. I'm sure a lot of people would love that nickname. Fire is fun, except if it backfires and burns the one who created it. Besides, don't you remember all the childhood fiascos with the element?

[thelouderlestrange]

  You… said no? I swear, you’re probably the only sixth year boy in the school who’d turn down Alecto Carrow for sex. Save for a few Gryffindors but still. 

[thequieterlestrange]

Roddy, when I said she's not exactly my type; I meant it. Besides she only ever calls for me if her first choices are busy, so it's pretty pointless. Also not to mention trashy-- just because someone takes their shirt off in front of me, won't make me instantly in the mood for those activities.

[addyrosier-deactivated20140614]

  "Good." She smirked, "Thomas Mulciber." She said, doing very little to keep the annoyance out of her tone, "I can’t think of anyone more opposite that they could’ve paired me off with. Who did you get stuck with?" Adeline could think of few people less like her in the world. "Don’t sound like fun? When did you become such a bore?" She teased, "Oh, wait, I remember you’ve always been like this. Listen, you teach me DADA and I’ll teach you how to have a book-free picnic on the top of towers, hm?"

[thequieterlestrange]

Yikes, I'd actually like to say my condolences on that one. They set me up with Alecto... not exactly who I pictured walking down the aisle to me, but you know how parents are. Even though, I just don't... I don't know; maybe I'll grow to like her. Probably not, but gotta have some... optimism, yeah? Oh ha ha, very funny. But you got yourself a deal. Be warned, I may try to sneak a book or two up with us.
