( &. RABASTAN LESTRANGE )

rabastan’s smile didn’t waver even as the smaller girl snapped at him; if anything, his grin grew wider and a soft chuckle escaped his lips. “ yeah, you’ll be a lot busier when you finally topple over from the weight of those goddamn books, vanity, ” he shook his head while he proceeded to take the majority of the books into his own hands- “ BLIMEY, these must weigh about twice your size ! ”

“ AH, rabastan. ” her expression eased and her toned cooled at the realization of the one coming to her aid being a familiar face. “ well, y’know me - top grades or nothin’.” she quips with a light laugh reaching her lips. “ got a long ways to go if ‘m goin’ to be prepared for n.e.w.t.s. aiming high this year. i’d carry the weight of YOU if it meant i could pass them exceptionally well. “

( &. LILY EVANS )

“I was simply going to ask if you needed some help, which you clearly do by the way… But now I’m not so sure if I want to help.”  

“ i can manage just fine by m’self, thanks. ” she quips coldly. once she collects herself and comfortably manages to carry the LOAD of books without issues, she offers a sour smile. “ don’t need your help at all. “

( &. MARLENE MCKINNON )

“And here I was hoping the summer would take the bitch out of the blonde, but seems you’re still my same boring cousin. Shame, sometimes I wonder if I was adopted.” Marlene shook her head, suppressing a smirk.  “Oh no, I have plenty other to do, I just enjoy seeing your expression turn sour over nothing.” 

“ NOTHING? i don’t think anythin' about being an irritatin' brat qualifies as nothin’. ” emma’s expression turns to a cruel smile, curling up at the corners with nasty intentions. “ seems you’re still the same ‘ole marlene -- whiny AND judgmental. just can’t accept me for who i am, yeah? ”

( &. XENOPHILIUS LOVEGOOD )

Xenophilius nodded in agreement. “Oh you must, sneaky little buggers if you ask me.” he said. “I supposed I should, but they’ll turn up unexpected.”

“ maybe if you bettered your attention on your notes, they wouldn’t ‘ave disappeared, xenophilius. ” she says, tutting softly at him. “ 'ere’s to hopin' they do - unharmed. ”

( &. ALECTO CARROW )

❝  aw, i’m offended !  ❞   alecto dragged her lips into an exaggerated pout, leaning her hip against the wall.   ❝  haven’t you got any time left for a housemate ? thought we was supposed to stick together, or did i mishear the sorting hat’s song at the welcome feast ? house unity and all that nonsense.  ❞

upon recognizing the voice of the unidentified female and raising her gaze to meet theirs, emma’s lips form an almost sour smile, a hint of sarcasm detected in it. “ ALECTO - how sweet of you t'a make an appearance. ” she speaks, her tone as smooth as silk. “ mustn’t mishear anythin’ nowadays, yeah? clearly i missed that part. ”

( &. DAISY HOOKUM )

          “ hey at least you’re an example of WHAT TO DO and not the other way around. “ daisy mused with a roll of her shoulders, she’d been on the other side of that far too many times. it wasn’t a feeling she was fond of but she suspected no one ever was. “ well i don’t know how great a term it will be without my casual disasters in his class, between you and me i think he grew FOND of me by the end of it. “ snorting the ravenclaw wiggled her nose.  “ but it’s already a good term, i’ve got news i’m finally taller than fltwick! “ she happily uttered before clapping her hands, so she wasn’t that much TALLER but a few inches were a few inches. “ i’m on my way to becoming a giant, i’m sure of it. “

“ that’s fair, but you nearly blew off your own eyebrows last year, hookum. you nearly took off MY eyebrows in the midst of all that. ” emma recollects the memory in her mind, remembering sixth year potions like the incident had only happened a day prior.  “ i doubt you’ll make giant standards, you doorknob.  i’m not even five-seven and i’m considered short. ”

( &. BARTY CROUCH JR. )

❛     the fact that it’s past curfew and we’ve learnt to be in the common rooms by  nine,  maybe ?     ❜   the question as to why she was here late into the hour still remained an unanswered, though BARTY was making no effort to inquire due to the fact that he, too, should’ve been encaptured by sleep’s soft lull right now.   ❛     i can see that, i have two eyes, thank you. maybe if you’re intent on breaking the rules, consider sitting some where less public.    ❜

emma scrunches her nose up at barty, clearly displeased with his tone. “ honestly, i was just on my way home, barty. ” she mutters coldly, “ not that it’s ANY of your business. but because you’re clearly making a fuss, i’ll have to go. ” rolling her eyes, emma goes to move out of barty’s path, annoyed with the boy.

( &. DAISY HOOKUM )

           " absolute ray of SUNSHINE, that’s me ; daisy hookum at your service. “ she sarcastically replied before scrunching up her nose. bouncing the books she was now carrying in her arms. “ leave it to slughorn to start the torture early. “ school work was enjoyable, well most of it but if there was one thing she couldn’t stand it was potions. earning an OUTSTANDING mark in the subject during owls had been a nightmare. “ one of the many reasons i’ve ditched the subject this year. i’d offer my services but you know me and potions… i’d blow something up. “

 emma rolls her eyes at her fellow brunette and shakes her head again. “ not that i don’t adore the subject, but it’s absolutely not 'kay so use me as a particular example each class. ” she points out, remembering slughorn’s utterance of her name on amortentia. how ABSOLUTELY horrid that was. “ here’s to hopin' for a better term. ”

( &. XENOPHILIUS LOVEGOOD )

“I wasn’t asking you to do anything Emma” He said smiling. “I was just stating an occurrence that has happened. I do ask you though, to watch out, they might steal a few of your belongings as well.”

“ i’ll be sure to watch out for them. ” emma replies, shaking her head slightly. “ SNATCH your notes back from them though. best not lose those so early on. ”

( &. DORIS PURKISS )

“No need to get your wand in a knot, you dropped a roll of parchment, that’s all, I figured you might want it back.”

“ parchment? ” emma glances down at her bookbag to see her parchment MISSING, and she just shakes her head. “ yeah yeah - i’ll take it back. thanks. ” she replies coldly.

( &. EMMELINE VANCE )

with her mouth slightly agape in response to the other’s words, emmeline merely tutted. “i dunno…” she trailed, jaw clenching. “blonde hair, blue eyes, plastic smile?” && with a simple shrug, “you seem to fit the description quite PERFECTLY.”

“ HARDLY plastic - i usually don’t even smile, so we can rule that petty insult out, can’t we? ” folding her arms across her chest, emma just scoffs and shakes her head ever so slightly. “ i hardly think that’s any way to talk to a fellow quidditch player. ”

( &. DAISY HOOKUM )

               " well, i was coming on over offer my help but after that ever so CHEERFUL greeting well… “ the brunette’s voice trailed off as she folded her arms over her chest. “ i bloody ‘ope that the mountain you seem to be attempting to move grows even larger only to squish you whole. “ daisy snapped before a small smirk appeared on her lips, reaching forward she pulled some of the books out of the stack and groaned. “ bloody hell em… it’s been a week even i’m not this immersed in homework, what gives? “

“ glad you’re just SO pleasant today, daisy. ” emma scoffs, proceding to shake her head and focus on the stack of books she was already carrying in arm. “ i’m up to my neck in potions, and if i have to do one more impromptu explanation on why spells are pronounced certain ways, i’ll blow a FUSE, i swear it on me ma. ”

[vcnitys]

“ WHAT? ” the small slytherin snapped, obviously annoyed by the presence of a face she hadn’t even seen yet. carrying a load of books in arm and trying to collect herself, emma didn’t have the time of day for another person to have. “ can’t you see ‘m BUSY ‘ere? "

( &. ALICE FORTESCUE )

          Alice would never get tired of coming back to Hogwarts in the fall. The grounds never ceased to amaze her and she’d found many spots to hide away and read with views that she’d never tire of over the last six years at Hogwarts. The start of her seventh was no different. She’d been settled on a grassy meadow just outside the halls that overlooked the lake when, out of nowhere, it started raining in a downpour. She grabbed her things quickly and ran the couple of yards for coverage. A smile was still on her face as she stood dripping wet. Noticing the look on the person’s face, she shrugged innocently. “It’s raining out there… Just, in case you didn’t know.”

“ oh, i know. ” emma remarks with a sarcastic smile, which quickly soured and turned into pursed lips and an almost unreadable expression. “ with the sound of it pourin’, i woulda NEVER guessed. ”

( &. BELLATRIX BLACK )

「 starters: open ! 」

a year ago, a sixth year bellatrix black was enlivened over the thought of what her seventh year at hogwarts would entail. this was the year, that, merlin willing, she would be the star of her house’s quidditch team ( so that she could be recruited by puddlemere united, of course ), planned on scoring the highest marks in her year on the infamous N.E.W.T.’s, and overall, having the greatest possible year a seventh year could have. now that she was eighteen and living the first day of her final year, however, it was almost painful for one to witness the contrast between what bella had wanted and what she was actually presented with. a shift in her demeanor, the result of what she considered a traumatic summer, was the least of it: while she’d normally be greeting everyone she emerald hues caught sight of, today, the otherworldly snake, dressed in black from head to toe, was standing against the castle wall, arms crossed over her ample bosom, and a glower illustrated on her features. a glower, that, was soon replaced by a smirk after she’d extended a leg out in front of a student that was sauntering past herself and her new equally unpleasant comrades, causing a roar of laughter to come from her five-man group. “ watch where i’m goin’, ” she spoke through red stained matte lips, the mocking smirk on her face still apparent.

seventh year came all too quickly for the blonde snake. what had been a summer and a half had turned out to be  just too short for her liking. she was almost attached to her parents’ hips, constantly following them around, or she was tossed aside and left to fend for herself for weeks at a time. however, being back at hogwarts was MUCH better than being holed up at her home in dublin  - a place the tiny girl wasn’t too fond of. scampering through the halls toward the slytherin dormitories. the stroll was cut short though when a foot was stuck out just as she rounded the corner. being quick on her toes, emma narrowly avoids it and slightly stumbles despite the laughter from her peers. “ pickin’ on the wrong house, bella. ” emma replies snidely, collecting herself and readjusting her clothes ( much like bellatrix, clothed in an all-black ensemble ). “ has it really been so long that you just DON’T recognize me anymore? ”

( &. AMELIA BONES )

            “ ah — i see it’s time for my daily scheduled studying interruption, ” amelia remarked, glancing up from the ALARMING piles of work that were divided neatly into piles on her desk. she raised her eyebrows and grinned at the other, resting her chin on her hands, blinking expectantly. “ well ? did you actually need something ? ”

“ quite frankly, i wasn’t acknowledgin' you. ” emma quips with a cold tone, her facial expression showing no regard for emotion. “ so don’t go ‘bout makin’ assumptions. ”
