"But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?" Tamsin Borgin Seventeen Slytherin

@txmsnbxrgn 

    there weren’t many good reasons she could think of as to why Tamsin asked to talk to her after dinner. if the head girl asks to speak with you privately, either something has gone wrong, you’re in trouble, or you deserve some kind of reward you hadn’t the slightest idea about. Christa figured the last two of the three were very unlikely, but that didn’t make her any less nervous. did she need to cover for someone tonight? now that she thought of it, she hadn’t been doing very many rounds at night. maybe someone got sick last minute.        she glanced over her shoulder just as Tamsin entered. well, here goes nothing, right?         “you wanted to see me?”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

       she had misgivings about doing this. serious misgivings at that. despite her personal feelings of total disinterest in blood purity ( after all she was a realist and realistically there was no real way the wizarding world could continue to go on without everyone having at least some  muggle ancestry at some point ) she knew better than to be actively seen with a muggleborn  just for the things that could be done to her reputation alone. but this was important, though perhaps not as important as her reputation and the way it would make the good borgin name look, but it was important enough for her to at least ask Christa to meet with her in private just so Tamsin could check in on her. truthfully, it was her duty as head girl, and Dumbledore had even suggested that she’d check in on the muggleborn prefects to see how they were feeling, but actually going to check on them now made Tamsin nervous in a way that she couldn’t manage to shake no matter how hard she tried to rationalize that she was just doing her duty.

holding her breath for several moments she stood outside of the old storage room with her  hand gripping the doorknob before finally letting herself in.

     “er—”       she paused for a moment glancing at christa before turning and flicking her wand at the door,  just to  make sure no one accidentally walked in on the conversation or that any particularly nosy passerbyer happened to eavesdrop.

    “sorry yeah, take a seat. I actually just wanted to talk to you and see how you were feeling, considering all that’s happened since break ended.”

“What? No. I’m not callous. It’s usually if someone’s being an asshole, you asshole back, but if I’m not here to ruthlessly tear people down.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“Then I suppose we’re the same in the regard. Anyways you can criticize me if you want, I don’t care. I’m not made of glass.”

[talithathcmas-deactivated201602]

“So how ‘bout straight up criticism, will that make you cry?”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“Well I doubt I could stop you from your criticism even if I said yes it would make me cry, so have at it.”

[talithathcmas-deactivated201602]

“Hey, instead of abusing your power, you can appreciate the fact that I’m willing to say things to your face and not talk about you behind your back like you obviously want everyone to. Don’t worry, I can start doing that instead.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“Has anyone other than a masochist ever wanted to be called that to their face? I think not. I’d rather people not talk about me behind my back either, but that’s inevitable so I can accept that a bit easier. Thank you for being proactive on your duties though.”

[dirkcresswclls-blog]

“I didn’t, so you don’t have to be concerned about that. That comment was more of just an aside of my own that I thought of. The industrial boom would be quite a lot to explain, but we’ll just leave it at the fact that it brought a lot of pollution into the air, thus why the rivers are in the state that they are today. There isn’t so much that concern in the Wizarding World as it seems that the environment is mostly left alone, which is comforting to me.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“Oh well that’s unfortunate I suppose, I mean there are environmental issues in the wizarding world mostly due to improper potion dumping but I believe the wizarding population isn’t even a tenth of the muggle one so it doesn’t make much of an impact. Anyways I just wanted to check in on you about the whole muggle born crisis and see how you were feeling. If you’re not up to it we can always cut your prefect duties down a bit, I understand.”

[talithathcmas-deactivated201602]

“So here’s an idea, stay with me here. We should do a study about the various reasons Slytherins insist on being abasing cunts, because, yeah, you know, I really think there’s something there.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“As your head girl, I would expect a prefect of Gryffindor to do a little bit better and at least not insinuate that I’m an ‘abasing cunt’ to my face. But I guess we’ll find a way to correct that, how does nightly patrol duty for the rest of this week sound?”

[argcntvm-blog]

“Excuse me. I happen to need that.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“I’m sorry, I happen to need it to. You wouldn’t mind waiting would you? Or we could share it if you like.”

[frigidvm-blog]

“I don’t. Though, of course, like any other individuals, I too need some time on my own. Surely you’d understand that, wouldn’t you, Borgin?”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“No I wouldn’t solitude is absolutely a foreign concept to me. I just abhor the idea of seclusion.”

“If I’m going to be a river, I’m going to be the Severn. The Thames is deplorable in large part due to the industrial boom whereas the Trust set up to keep the Severn clean does rather well, and it is the greatest river in the United Kingdom. So let’s say I was as pure as that. Though obviously not the same pure that you are.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“I’m sorry, I hope you didn’t take that as me slighting your blood status, I assumed we were talking about purity as far as character goes. But I’m sorry, I’ve no real idea what you’re talking about as far as the industrial boom but River Severn is a good river to model oneself after.”

❝I was as pure as a river.❞ @txmsnbxrgn

“Which river though? The Thames is incredibly dirty, were you as pure as that river?”

“As long as lying for you doesn’t end up stabbing me in the back,then I likely would, yes. Unfortunately know, and whoever did it better hope it stays that way because I have no tolerance for those who touch my things. You haven’t heard anything, have you?”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“You know Emma, I’m surprisingly considerate; I don’t generally set up other people for sacrifice when they’d be much more useful as an ally. I’m sorry though, I haven’t heard anything about it. If I had to bet money I’d say Fletcher, Schmidt, or Peeves made off with it— and if it were Peeves the Bloody Baron would’ve had his head by now. So one of those thieving hyenas have probably sold it by now. Well that or one of those silly gryffindor boys did it.”

[frigidvm-blog]

“That’s a rather kind offer, though I do believe that I can manage on my own just fine. Besides, what if I wish for you to leave me alone?”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“Then I’d leave you alone, it’s not as if my ego would be bruised if you told me you disliked my company.”

[vainasthynxme-blog1]

“We Slytherin girls do need to stick together, after all. Was this your subtle way of asking if I can lie for you about something?”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

“Well no, I don’t need you to lie about anything right now. I was just curious if you would do it. Anyways, have you found out who stole your broom yet?”

          “for once, borgin, i actually DIDN’T do shit.” ( well, that wasn’t necessarily true, as the galleons stashed securely in her pocket were profited from selling emma vanity’s broom, but shiloh plead the fifth and that was besides the point. ) “it was some twats playing quidditch, fucking about where they shouldn’t be.”

[txmsnbxrgn-blog]

tamsin raised her eyebrow and gave shiloh a discouraging look, “i’m sure you’ve just been a complete saint all day long.” looking around the empty classroom tamsin made a move to leave before pausing and looking back over at shiloh, “shouldn’t you be in an actual classroom instead of an empty one right now?”
