          from the moment the first scream had weaved it’s way through the castle & terror-stricken students rushed about  ( most likely in search of some form of asylum, worrying over the horrific things infesting the school )  xenophilIus grew worried about the girl he had began to care for immensely : PANDORA. had it not been for the thought of her, the ravenclaw would have stuck to the confined space in which he’d been hiding rather than venture out to find her, to make sure she was going to be okay -—  but he had to, and conjured every bit of courage his body could accommodate before taking to the hallways. 

          the sights were harsh, repulsive ; every body of a child who couldn’t defend themselves that lay on the floor made xenophilius SICK to his stomach & upset beyond all means. the fear of the possibility that one those bodies could be pandora’s make his heart constrict and the need to find her increased  ( though in his mind he knew it was not likely, as she was tougher than he could ever be ) -— with some form of luck the boy found the other. eyes now transfixed on the dark figure, a lethifold, near her and shaking hands removed the wand from his robes ; gripping it tight, xeno chanted along with her.  ‘‘ EXPECTO PATRONUM ! ”

           teary blue hues watched as the creature drew back, disappearing from view & a tiny speck of relief washed over. however, once he stepped closer and the evident pain in pandora resounded within xeno after looking upon the face of the body held in her arms -— a young, boy… his potential & life completely drained from him.  ‘‘ pandora… you have to let him go. ”  his voice was low & these words were incredibly bitter in his mouth but it was not the time to grieve.  ‘‘ we need to go ! ”  his hand  ( still trembling )  rested on her shoulder to give a comforting squeeze as the other returned the wand to it’s place until he’d need it again  ( which he hoped that they wouldn’t ).

        ◢ ╳ ❛ &. lungs screaming with need for air, pandora drew in a deep breath as the suffocating black shroud withdrew back into the darkness from whence it came ; a quiet relief washing over the quaint gryffindor as she realised her spell, against all odds, had w o r k e d ( she’d been successful in casting a fully formed patronus many times before, but never under such terrifyingly harrowing circumstances -— with chaos around every corridor of the castle ; death in her very own a r m s ). “ you’re okay now ; -— we’re okay now. ” the girl breathed shakily, reassuring the lifeless form in her arms that he was now safe -— in denial about his light that had slipped away, all because she was too slow, to weak to protect him when he really needed it.

          the sound of someone calling out her name startled pandora, grounding her -— anchoring her back down in what was really happening. the cold hands of reality gripped around her ankles and began to DROWN her in the chaos of a world that was too horrible, too raw, too familiar to terrors of the house she’d grown up in. “ xeno . . . i -— i couldn’t save him. ” the reality of her failure was more painful than she could bear. for years on end, delilah -— NO, pandora, had been unable to save herself ; and the thought of not being able to save anyone else who might need saving, just like she did, tore a terrible, bleeding hole in the gryffindor’s heart. 

          ‘ we need to go ! ’ -— the coarse d e s p e r a t i o n in xenophilius’ voice contrasted against the careful & tender palm he placed against her shoulder, struck pandora in more ways than one. despite the DEATH & misery that had been unleashed upon the castle, the ravenclaw still retained his remarkable inclination for softness & heart. with the utmost care -— and against her every wish -— pandora reluctantly placed the small boy in her arms back down upon the cold castle floor, placing a hand upon his cheek for a moment and uttering a heartbroken apology, before turning to xenophilius ; her blue eyes filled with determination and tenderness in place of the sorrow that had been welling there just moments before. “ i’m going to get us through this, xeno. if it’s the last thing i do, i’m going to protect you. ” pandora would unleash all the evils of PANDORA’S BOX to ensure this, if she had to.

Tears welled in her eyes as she turns the corner and watches the other hold him, the stranger who had died because no one was there for him. Her heart broke each time she found another person and Mary was quickly falling to pieces because of it. How was she meant to use a spell that requires happiness and pleasant thoughts when all Mary can think of is death and her broken heart. She drops to her knees next to Pandora and slips an arm around her, leaning into her with silent reassurance. She lifted the boy’s wand, turning it in her hands with slow and careful movements. Hers was gone, she wasn’t going to be seeing it anytime soon nor did she hold out hope that it was going to magically turn up. 

A shaking hand points the want at the Lethifold and she adds to her classmate’s spell. “EXPECTO PATRONUM!” Her voice rings out and a silvery veil joins Pandora’s until the creature is pushed off and away, turning to find a weaker target to prey on. “Come on, Dora. We’d got to move.” She can’t look down, she can’t look at the boy- she’s looking everywhere but.

[unhclyisms]

       ◢ ╳ ❛ &. the sturdy hold of mary’s frame against her own trembling form is an incredible form of reassurance for pandora amidst the absolute horror & HELL that had been brought down upon the innocent, unsuspecting students of the castle. “ why is this happening? ” the words are quiet -— almost whimpered, and spoken in a brief moment of vulnerability and weakness that nearly consumes the gryffindor whole. slowly & carefully, pandora places the boy’s lifeless figure back down upon the floor, tears welling at the very corner of her eyes before she wills them away. now is not the time for weakness. 

          mary’s right -— they’ve got to move. from their position here ; out in the middle of the corridor, completely exposed ; both mary and pandora are in complete danger. they could be attacked by anything from any & all sides, and so pandora, with a heavy heart, picks herself back up from off the floor ; rising to her feet alongside mary. “ i’m glad to see you. ” the blonde adds, eyes filled with all kinds of emotion and she clutches at her wand, keeping it drawn in front of her, ready to defend herself & mary -— “ have you seen anyone else safe ? ”

[unhclyisms]

          ◢ ╳ ❛ &. “ please wake up ; p l e a s e. ” pandora’s voice was hushed & wreaked with sorrow as she held the lifeless body of a first year in her arms ; the boy’s small figure bloodied and pale -— the light & look in his eyes absent and cold. she hadn’t known him, and she never would because she couldn’t SAVE him. the gryffindor had watched the basilisk TEAR APART at the boy from afar ; and as she ran to save him -— the sounds of his screams of terror & cries for help ringing in her ears -— the serpent slid away ; leaving more bodies strewn along the castle corridors. 

          holding the boy’s small figure close, pandora noticed a BLACK SHROUD begin to settle down upon them ; the cimmerian cloud wrenching the air from her lungs. “ YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM. ” -— the words escaped her in a yell of sorrow and desperation, and pandora wracked her mind for an answer to what this shrouded creature was as she clutched the small boy’s body close. suffocation ; a black shroud -— hopelessness & death. lethifold -— “ EXPECTO PATRONUM ! ”

         “look, i’m NOT in the mood… why don’t you go BOTHER someone else with whatever it is you want to talk about right now.”

[unhclyisms]

        ◢ ╳ ❛ &. “ CONGRATULATIONS, james douchebag potter -— you’ve been chosen as the winner of the ‘ i’m a massive butt-face with no manners ’ contest. high five, pal. ” pandora remarked, inching over and clapping her hand against james’ -— not leaving him the chance to protest the action before she went ahead and sat down next to him ; making herself comfortable upon the common room couch. “ i was just gonna’ ask you if you wanted some of the tea i just made -— but i guess not. what’s gone ‘en gotten your knickers in a twist, my dearest sour sally ? ”

“Oh beautiful. Another letter from my grandmother. This should be fun.”

[unhclyisms]

◢ ╳ ❛ &. “ oh ! hearin' you read the letters that your grandma sends is what i look forward to each week ! -— it’s what a LIVE FOR, even. ” seated at the ravenclaw table in the great hall, pandora was three-quarters playful cheek & one quarter oatmeal as she quipped at kingsley while eating her breakfast. “ if she’s inquirin’ about your relationship status again, i can definitely pretend to be your girlfriend to get her off your back for the next small while, kings’ -— just get me a pumpkin pastie to seal the deal & we’re good to go ! ”

‘ it appears that i have misplaced my w a n d. either that or someone took it… ’ his tone is just barely accusatory, not wanting to come off as rude. ‘ i doubt it was the NARGLES …again. ’ yes, again and honestly it probably happens too often. ‘ you haven’t seen it, have you? ’

[unhclyisms]

         ◢ ╳ ❛ &. “ you’ve gone ‘en lost somethin’ again, xeno ? next you’ll be forgettin’ your head . . . ! swear to jaysus, were it not stuck to your neck, ‘m sure you would’ve found some way to lose it already. ” pandora’s blue hues are wide with incredulousness, smiling lips delivering the quip with a certain air of endearment. “ n a r g l e s ? i need to have a long chat with these nargle folk that seem to keep harassing you, hey ? stealing’s a crime -— ‘en if the law won’t punish these nargles, i’ll hex them for you & teach them a lesson myself. ” in all honesty, the gryffindor wasn’t entirely convinced that these NARGLES that xenophilius so often spoke of truly existed, but she wasn’t in the business of dismissing people’s beliefs ( especially not xenophilius’ beliefs, of all people. there was a certain childlike, wide-eyed innocence and capacity for belief about him that pandora somewhat cherished ; . . . something about him that she wanted to protect, even. )

“Yes, that is mine. Thank you.”

          ◢ ╳ ❛ &. “ well THIS is awkward, aubrey marie -— here i was, standin’ here thinkin’ that this was MY collection of erotic short stories. ah well, i must’ve left mine in the girls’ bathrooms, then. here ya’ go. ” with a playful little smile, pandora returned the ravenclaw’s potions book. not a collection of erotic short stories in the least. 

[unhclyisms]

so it’s me :~) evie :~) here to bring you precious pumpkins a new muse !!!!!!!!!! 

SO, LIKE -— i’ve played xeno quite a few times here & there in various marauders rp’s -— but i’ve never had the chance to play pandora before ; and because you’re all so lovely and you are all just MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE B/C YOU’RE ALL SO NICE AND KIND i have decided to try my hand at writing up ‘dora here !!! :~) 

a few things about pandora !! ( tired, pls bare with me !! i’m nOT usually this illiterate like you guys kNOW this ) 

YEAH. PANDORA. 

was born with the name delilah tallulah healy

v religious parents

v religious upbringing

HAD a lot of faith before THINGS happened

“ what things though, evie ???? ” you may ask

VERY GOOD QUESTION. A++++, my loves

my cupcakes, i shall tell you :~) 

grew up in the irish countryside. the healy’s were / are quite poor -— but they make do and still get by :~)))) yay for human resilience !!!!!!

when pandora was a little bub, her parents just thought that she was the most perfect thing in the world ! with golden hair & bright blue eyes, pandora ( at that time, delilah ) seemed like god’s gift to the healy’s, tbh.

delilah ( let’s just call her delilah until we get to why she changed her name to pandora !!!!! ) was practically christined AS SOON AS her umbilical cord was cut tbh. all like *pops out into the world* *has umbilical cord cut* *CHRISTENED*

“ what a holy child !!!!!! an angel !!!!!!!! ” — everyone would say this to the healy’s, and the healy’s were like HECK YA our angel faced cute patootie is the gr8est

........... and then one day day STRANGE THINGS started happening. 

when delilah would get excited, inanimate objects would begin to float, and when she got angry or became sad, the ground beneath them would shake. 

“ WOAH DEVIL CHILD, OUR CHILD HAS THE DEVIL IN HER. ” — the healy’s. 

mr. healy began to beat delilah every time something magical strange would happen

for a small while ???? this actually seemed ???? to solve everything ?????

delilah believed this was a test from god to prove her faith in him and her worthiness

she prayed every single minute of every single day — prayed through her tears, and prayed as she nursed her cuts and bruises

until one day around the age of 10 delilah turned around and was like “ NOT TODAY SATAN ” @ mr. healy :o 

and she accidentally pushed him against the wall with a cupboard

untamed preadolescent wandless magic be CRAZY

mr. healy got injured p bad BUT HEY he’s still breathing

lucky lad

anyway, after this, ‘dora began to believe that she really DID have the devil in her

JUMP A YEAR FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE THO and delilah receives her letter from hogwarts that literally tells her she’s a witch. she realises that she isn’t alone, and that there are people out there who are just like her. she’s a witch :o 

her parents are all like “ KNEW IT. BURN HER. ”

delilah : “ not today satan x 2 ″

delilah packs up and leaves — just before she walks out the door, her mother spits at her as she leaves “ you’re a plague upon this house. you’ve unleashed hell, and misfortune. ”

delilah is like “ yep. dis true. ” and she names herself pandora. because that’s fitting. she feels like she was a bit of a curse. 

cool. 

pandora is radically different that delilah though !

she doesn’t believe in god

believes in herself

very capable

exceedingly kind

but pretty sharp most of the time

will hex u real good if you’re mean

she’s actually amazing at charms ??? she’s trying to create her own spells ( SPOILER ALERT in canon pandora dies by getting killed by a backfiring spell ) 

pandora doesn’t like the thought of the death eaters b/c she perceives them like they’re her parents ?? “ we’re doing god’s work and wiping the planet of muggles / muggleborns ” and she is OH HELL NO about that

but she is non-discriminate in her dislike of people and will just hex anyone being mean

so she’s neutral

b/c she will hex her own housemates when they’re being asses too

equal opportunity amirite

OKAY, PLS COME LOVE HER ! :~)
