❝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.❞
“ look at ya … bilingual as hell. might have ya trail behind me an’ translate for people. yer not busy, right ? no … prestigious school titles that double as hinky innuendos ? ”
❝sounds like a splendid way to spend my time, certainly much more interesting than my daily chores.❞
❝at least the hinky innuendos carry some truth to them, potter can vouch for that.❞ a lazy smile spread across her lips as her eyes sparkled, enjoying the soft banter that they carried on.
“ couple’a minutes. ” he repeated under his breath, a slight eye roll following as he pushed himself to a standing position. “ alrighty captain, my captain … let’s go. ”
“ how is it … by the way? bein’ the ‘bad guy’ ? can’t imagine it’s easy
—
m’not bein’ snarky, i’m genuinely curious. how does it feel bein’ a so-called narc? ”
❝ a NARC? first time i’ve heard that one. care to enlighten me? is it because i’m in charge of enforcing rules or because im a bad guy in some other sense?❞
“ yeeaahhh. one attack on hogsmeade an’ suddenly everyone is so sensitive. thanks DEATH EATERS. ” the sarcasm dripped from his words, but he understood. made perfect sense. everything was changing.
“ so ye gonna force me to go back or are ya gonna join me for a lil’ bit? ”
❝BASTARDS.❞ lily shot him a weak smile, shrugging slightly. there wasn’t much she could do but she knew it was frustrating. ❝i’ll join you. if anyone asks, i’m escorting you around, should buy us a couple of minutes.❞
“ then give me detention, evans. seriously. doesn’t matter to me. ”
“ s’not like i was doin’ anythin’ wrong anyway. it was loud an’ i wanted some quiet. ye tellin’ me you’ve never come up here after hours? SANS PATROLSobviously.”
❝the hypocrisy of the matter is not lost on me, which is exactly why i’m looking for a way NOT to punish your minor offense. trust me, the badge doesn’t reflect my personal thoughts. let’s leave it at five points from ravenclaw so mcgonagall doesn’t have my ass. everyone’s cracking down on curfew these days.❞
he listened to her apologies and her incessant questions with a subtle smile painted across his features. he appreciated her concern, but he finally felt like maybe his dark days were ending. he wasn’t sure just yet, but the fact that he arrived sober was one starting point
— but he was certainly thankful that the punch was STRONGER than anticipated. long story short … there wasn’t much she could do now (or so he thought until her final question). “ i … actually might. soon. maybe. if you were serious. ”
her concern faded slightly as she watched him, the ease with which he stood before her. sure, it didn’t completely disappear, but she was content to see him at least alright. it was more than anyone could ask for really. ❝i was, it’s a once in a lifetime offer, i’d say you should take it before it’s gone. ❞
“ ye haven’t heard? ” he furrowed his brow, looking at lily in confusion because of her placement as head girl and CLOSE FRIEND to marlene mckinnon. she must not have told her. “ well eh … i’m doin’ great. broke my hand. ” he lifted his cast, now all black as to match his shirt. it was much less of an annoyance now given his ability to use his fingers. he had been practicing. “ what? ye give me shit for complimentin’ ya too much an’ then ya throw that my way? i might have to blush an’ give ye a lil’ giggle. ”
a shameful tight smile fell upon her lips as she shook her head, her head falling slightly. in the midst of her own troubles she’d forgotten to look around and see the pain her fellow students were in, her FRIENDS. ❝i wasn’t quite myself for a while there. i’m so sorry to hear that though, i can’t believe i wasn’t around to help somehow. are you feeling better? is there anything i can do now? any special corridors you need me to clear up?❞ she suggested bashfully, only remembering his previous request. ❝Oy, it’s not my fault i can dish out compliments better than i can take them.❞
“ yeah … think that’s actually the last time we talked. got a habit of disappearin’
—
sorry ‘bout that. ” he looked down at his ensemble, the epitome of ‘fuck you’ with a side of ‘oops i left my tux at home’. he might have cared enough to dress up had he and his dad not been dirt poor. he didn’t even ask, sparing his father the embarrassment of having to say no. “ why thank you. it’s some … fancy designer i can’t pronounce the name of. was incredibly expensive. came from guam. ”
❝that’s alright, i can’t blame you entirely, i’ve disappeared some as well. i’ve definitely missed seeing you ‘round though, how have you been?❞ her smile didn’t waver as she gave him another onceover, reaching out to touch his suspenders. she wasn’t being ironic at all, amidst the see of fancy teenagers she was delighted to see him add a twist to the event. she knew she’d be wearing something similar had it not been for her friends assistance. ❝if there was a best dressed award tonight, i’d give it to you. you definitely surpass everyone here.❞
