Amortentia | Narcissa & Open

The smell of vintage wine, burnt wood, and fresh linen met Narcissa as she entered the room. She almost salivated as the smell filled her lungs. Godric. She was captivated by it as she wandered further into the grand room. She almost hadn’t come, leaving the house wasn’t advised at the moment. With her father on the prowl, she had to watch her back every corner she turned. Truthfully, it was probably neither safer nor more dangerous to be at the party. Here, Cygnus could disguise himself, or slip through the throngs of people unnoticed. However, she had Lucius, Evan, and Amycus here. All of whom, she was sure would protect her. And she’d rather enjoy herself than stay cooped up at home. 

She was thoroughly caught up in the gravitas of the house and the delicious smell that filled the halls until she met a pair of eyes from across the room. Ones which seemed to captivate her as much as the smell did.

Resisting a party, of any occasion, was impossible for Ezra. Always toeing the line between extrovert and introvert, the man made it a habit to smile brightly at all party goers. Inciting conversations, dancing, whatever warmed his facade to the public. But by the end of the night, he usually stood alone, observing the guests who’d take one too many shots of fire whiskey.  He was ready to trail into this shift, finishing up a methodical conversation when the scent of spearmint filled his senses. Strange...his mind trailed off while eyes searched for the source. 

Pausing as they met a blue clarity. He breathed in orchids as a charming grin slipped onto his lips. He’d noticed Narcissa’s beauty before, but tonight it was rather extravagant. “Miss Black, how are you enjoying yourself?” 

[unspeakableshadow]

There was no reason not to enjoy the occasion before it’s ultimate downfall. Unmasked and in attendance if only to continue the facade towards colleagues from the Ministry, Ezra had no doubt his presence would be lost during the chaos. Though there was one presence he hadn’t lost throughout the night. Lucinda had walked in with her political rival, and the companionship was enough to gain a chuckle from Ezra. 

It seemed now, in the safety of such a public event she was left alone for a moment. Privacy he was sure she craved given their last discussion; but his urge to interrupt was far more overpowering. “I’m sure you and your date will be the talk of the town in tomorrow morning’s paper.” A lie flowing easily as his hand hover near her back. “Care for a dance or is it saved for your partner?”

Having been away for about a month and a half at this point, Frank hadn’t seen very many people since. Actually, he had only seen Alice the time she visited, so it was nice to be back in his own world. “Nothing like a big event to bring everyone together.” 

[unspeakableshadow]

“It’s nice isn’t it?” Ezra wasn’t much for the extravagant traditions of matrimony and love but he had no issues masking his indifference. “No one can resist an open bar with a beautiful union.”

maleficmoony:

a bound attached itself to remus’ stride as he moved towards his friend. this was the longest time he’d ever gone without seeing ezra and he’d loathed every second of it. 

remus pushed the door halfway between them, head peaking to poke out behind it. “if you’re going to mother me about it, i’m not letting you in” remus stated bluntly “besides, i didn’t even do it this time!”

Rolling his eyes had become a constant at Remus’s retorts but the smile that spread wide revealed his true intentions. “You’re not going to lock me out. Who will relentlessly critique your interior decorating skills?” His hand rested on the door before before he reached for Remus’s chin, to examine more closely. “Yeah? Then who did? You look like you walked through a room of enchanted razor blades.”

silenthxntress:

“Absolutely, Sir!” she replied with a wide smile. “Excellent choice,” she added with a wink. Cue gagging, she thought to herself. Although, English Breakfast Tea was the nicest they sold, so it really had been an excellent choice. She knew the man before her was a witch. However, she didn’t know which witch he was. A familiar face didn’t always negate to a name.

Ezra didn’t consciously settle into routines but visiting this particular tea shop was starting to become the norm. As usual, his first instinct was to satisfied his curiosities. “Have you been working here long?” A need to know about any aspect that was unfamiliar. 

[unspeakableshadow]

With meetings far and few between within the past months, Ezra was glad to finally feel the relief of walking through the threshold of Remus’s home; even if it was a new apartment. The expensive champagne in hand was more of a compulsory gift than one he thought the man would enjoy. “Rem. It’s been a while.” His arms almost raised as the door open, but fell seeing the wound that distorted innocent features. “What..?” The objection fell silent for a moment as a deep sigh escaped. “What did you do this time?”

[silenthxntress-deactivated20190]

“I’m afraid we don’t have any chai tea left, can I interest you in something else?”

[unspeakableshadow]

“Ah,” He mulled over the other available options for a moment. “I’ll just have a classic English breakfast then.” 

[unspeakableshadow]

regulcs-black:

“Most of those great wizards were Merlin himself or somewhere in the same category was he. I’m certainly no Merlin.” Regulus knew that he had a point a Hogwarts education hadn’t been everything at this point but currently it seemed if you didn’t graduate from somewhere your employment options were slim. The question was heavy and he hadn’t mused on it greatly as he exhaled for a moment and gave a light shrug. “I suppose I’d look into becoming a Broom Maker. I’d like to create the next Silver Arrow.”

“No one knew what Merlin was capable of before he did it.” Every person had a purpose, a pawn in play within the universe; and Ezra found potential in all those he set his sights on. “A Broom Maker?”  A smile slipped onto his lips. It wasn’t the most common answer that he heard. “I’m sure we’d be able to find you an apprenticeship somewhere.”

rodolphuslestrxnge:

There were of course incredibly few people who had known of Rodolphus’ plans. He’d had trusted friends in The Ministry assist with hiding Ted’s body and they had all been sworn to secrecy. When you has as much in the air as he did it was good to have separate pockets of people you could trust with different things, to avoid showing all your cards to any one person. “Obituaries?” He echoed with a coy confusion, smiling, “I’ve been overseas taking care of my mother since late last year, of course. She took ill suddenly and since our father passed some time ago leaving me as the man of the family it was my responsibility to see her back to good health. Now that she’s better I have returned home.”

“How very kind of you Rodolphus. I’m sure your mother is very grateful to have a son like you.” His curiosity was peaked; things within their realm were never consequence. Situations and events were fabricated only to further their cause. The rumors, the truth, it was all spun together for one purpose. Fingers drummed against the table for a moment, thoughts mulling over true intentions. “I’m glad she’s feeling better. What are your plans now that you’ve returned? Pick up things where you left off?” 

[unspeakableshadow]

lxcxndatlkalct:

She paused, considering whether she wanted to give her thoughts as she so often did. For so long Lucinda had chosen to keep him out, “Oleander. Honey might be sticky enough, but it’s sweet, and there’s nothing sweet about what anyone is doing.” She spoke bluntly, the toxic flower however; as pretty as it sounded, nothing good came from being so strung up in other peoples games. “I’d very much rather Skeeter be left to do her own dirty work, it’s not as if rumor is lacking. I already gave her the interview she wanted.” Dropping her gaze, she worked dark tresses over her shoulder to further shield herself before she looked back up. “That sounds promising,” She laughed, not believing it for a second; as if any of them were capable of minimum consequence. “I even utter the word privately and they warn me against it, apparently polyjuice potion has become a real issue lately.”

“Beautiful yet toxic, that is unsurprising.” A small intimate moment that for once met his expectations. Small moments that symbolized that perhaps he was getting somewhere albeit slowly. “I look forward to reading what she has to say about your campaign.” His eyes grazed to the locks falling in strands over her shoulder, the scent drifting just as poisonous as Oleander. “Polyjuice potion? Who’s got into trouble now?” He motion for them to take another step further away from her detail, before settling against the wall. “They’ve taken away all of your time alone?”

rblcstrange:

“You might be,” he could probably find work anywhere, someone skilled enough in curses could make a name for himself within the ministry or out of it, depending on what he was willing to indulge in and as of late, there were all too few things Rabastan said no to. The incredulous look he cast Ezra wasn’t nearly cautious enough, “More exceptions? Like we need more of them.” Of course, he wasn’t alluding to simple things that would allow him more leeway within ministry walls. “They don’t understand much of it, the higher ups – still scares them I guess.”

Tongue in cheek, Ezra allowed the chuckle to slip from his throat. Cautious as ever. If he hadn’t been a perpetrator of the many games and lines drawn by purebloods, he may have wondered if it was possible to converse with anyone without the undertones of hostility that marked territory. “The law continues to evolve until it’s a broken shadow of what it once was under the guise of progress.” Slow and calculated, the easiest way to reform change with the least resistance. “If only they actually listen to our reports...or even sat in on sessions.”

“Well, in case you forgot my last house elf was murdered so either I clean or the flat remains in a state of… filth.”

[unspeakableshadow]

“Are you not looking for a replacement, Ms. Skeeter? What actions are you taking against the culprit?” 

[a-force-of-alice]

alice leaned against the wall of the break room, she was focused, green hues locked on the wall ahead of her. she thought and thought. arm crossed around her chest the small auror had a case seething in her head. she was missing something and she couldn’t figure it out. on the counter a cold cup of coffee lingered, and she began to pace. alice turned towards wall and kicked it. “oi bloody tits on toast! fuck it.” the brunette rolled her eyes, “fuckin’ brain is like a wall, nothing is gettin’ in.”

[unspeakableshadow]

With hands clasped around a cup of tea, Ezra leaned against the wall, eyes closed. A moment of relaxation under the mountains of articles and paperwork that swarmed his desk. There were far too many magical breaches. The corners of his lips turned hearing the colorful curses filling the room. The string of words easily caught his attention. “Anything I can help with?”
