❝she was a beautiful dreamer.
the kind of girl who
kept her head in the clouds,
loved above the S T A R S
and left regret beneath the EARTH
she walked on.❞
daisy chewed nervously on her lip, fiddling with her wand in an attempt to keep her shaking hands occupied. she knew she was being stupid and she knew she was being selfish ( lily must’ve been just as scared as she was and yet she put on a smile to keep her sane ) but she couldn’t help it — she was just SO. DAMN. SCARED. ❝ lils, are you sure? i don’t want you to get hurt. these things are… dangerous. ❞
❝exactly, which is why we have to get him out of here, don’t worry, it’ll be alright. we have a grip on this situation, we are two strong independent witches completely capable of defeating that slobbering excuse for a monster, right?❞ her confidence wavered slightly as she heard the distant roar followed by a cloud of dust and debris littering the floor but her smile remained intact, her hand gripping daisy’s firmly.
❝two minutes tops and you go get help alright? you don’t come back unless its with at least three more wands and at least one professor.
❞
daisy nodded again, attempting to keep her eyes trained on lily’s and away from the beast. ❝ alright… okay, i think the nearest exit is that way. ❞ she pointed down the corridor towards where the beast was approaching, positively HATING that she was implying they would have to run past him. ❝ okay… i’m ready to haul ass. the count of three. ❞
lily nodded, peering out from behind their makeshift hiding place to survey their escape route, a soft grimace settling upon her features. she didn’t want to make too many negative comments due to her fear of scaring her friend so instead she struggled to shoot the girl a bright smile. ❝i’ll distract him and you get to the exit. if i’m not behind you in the next five minutes, go find help, alright? that way, we make sure both of us don’t get hurt.❞
daisy could only nod at lily’s words, eyes wide with FEAR. her free hand was still shaking when lily gripped onto it, her fearful gaze falling onto the creature that made its way towards them. ❝ …okay, ❞ she gulped. ❝ we can do it. we can do it. okay, so… out of the castle… m—maybe, since it’s following us we could just… run towards the entrance. and then if it’s trailing us, we’ll have led it out. d’you think that’d work? ❞
❝it can. it will. it HAS TO. listen it will be okay, alright? we can do this.❞ lily glanced over at daisy, unsure of whether she was convincing the girl or herself. ❝how about this? on three, we bolt and i mean haul ass down this corridor and out towards god knows what exit we can find as soon as possible.❞
in her panic, daisy thought she’d gone frozen. it was only when she heard lily’s screams that she ducked for cover, wand still tight in her grip though her attempts at saving them had been no use. ❝ LILY, oh my merlin lily what’d we do? i think i just made it angry, i — i think i just made it worse, i don’t… i don’t know what to do. ❞
❝don’t blame yourself daisy don’t do that, listen we just.. we need to find a way to get it out of the castle so it doesn’t hurt anyone.❞ lily took the girls hand, trying to reassure her though her attention was mostly on the creature approaching them. ❝we can do this daisy. whatever it is we need to do.❞
❝over HERE!❞ lily scurried behind a column in hopes of gaining some sort of cover from the best that now swung his club in her direction. the girl reached for her wand, creating any sort of diversion possible, aiding others as they looked for cover as well.
“ mistress of SOMETHIN’ … but the thought is kinda sexy. not sure they’d let my american ass in power. ”
“ i’ll tell ya this though … don’t gotta have a title to pull some strings. ”
❝you’ve got my vote that’s for sure. i’m all for the globalization movement, the wizarding world could expand it’s horizons. plus, i’ve got a soft spot for americans, met a goldstein once and he was quite spectacular. now you, and you’re wonderful as well. you’ve got me hooked now, please do elaborate.❞
