delaney sat next to daphne almost immediately. many minutes ago, her companion lost himself into the cheering crowd and there was literally no one to help delaney to look for the former gryffindor ! and, sure, the ravenclaw witch has always been a social butterfly since day one, a friend to anyone who stood lonely in a crowded room in need of some company, but this time... this time she was a little overwhelmed. merlin----- she didn’t even got to enjoy the rally as much as she wanted to ! she smiled, greeted and talked with the students and professors that stopped her from walking further into the stands, asking her questions about her well being and her life outside of hogwarts, but she still stood rather... awkwardly. either it wasn’t the greatest day for her to root for her former house, or the bludger of life had just reminded her that she was no longer a student at hogwarts but a young adult in the wizarding world.  the pretty sound of daphne’s voice was like an angel calling a mortal into it arms, gentle hands smoothing down the fabric of her short pleated skirt as she sat down. “ fancy seein’ ye’ here too. ” she said with a tender smile, giving her bronze and blue scarf a little fix. “ i came here with robert. you know, fellow trainee darcy ? he called it a date for him to leave me at the end. ” rosy lips pouted adorably, lips twitching until she was giggling. “ such a gryffindor thing to do, right ? ” delaney snorted, looking out to the quidditch pitch with sparkling eyes. “ he said he was goin’ to bet for gryffindor with this one guy or something. it’s sad because we all know ravenclaw got this. ” or at least she hoped.  「 ✨  delaney attended a match. 」 「 ✨  delaney watched the rally. 」 「 ✨  delaney spectated from the stands. 」 「 ✨  delaney has used a wizarding idiom. 」 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a magical subject. x3 」 「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x3 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned something from hogwarts: a history. x5 」

“ yes i am. ” delaney’s smile was both sweet and tender as she fluttered her eyes open, hazel eyes beaming with excitement at the mere mention of the meteor shower. her grip on her satchel’s bag tightened a little. the witch has been waiting for the cosmical event for weeks ! she would have been beaming on her heels right now if it wasn’t for the fact that her heeled, strappy shoes weren’t meant to be used to jump, run and skip with. had to learn that the hard way when she skipped her way out of st. mungos on a rainy night once. and not only that ! head girl delaney saw her life flashing through her eyes when a heel broke as she ran after a group of fourth years to stop them from causing magical mischief at the great hall. she grimaced at the memory before chuckling. “ i am most excited to see the shooting stars than the wish itself, actually. ” she hummed. “ but my mom passed me the family’s grimoire after graduating, and i am pretty sure there’s a wishing spell waiting for me to use it. sadly i haven’t thought of anything. pretty sure i will wish something dumb like, oh, i wish i was a cat and then i will be a cat forever. ” delaney pulled a face. 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x3 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x5 」 「 ✨  delaney has mentioned something from hogwarts: a history. 」 

delaney lifted the bernkastel family grimoire with a grin on her face, holding it up as if she was holding the house cup that ravenclaw did not win in her seventh year. she giggled. that didn’t matter, not when it was time to put this baby in yet another good use ! the french braided witch held it close to her chest and sighed happily, as if the magical knowledge the book held in its off white pages were transmiting through her veins. she was so happy her grandparents decided to pass their pride and joy to their daughter for her to pass it to delaney. it always made her remember how there was always something about the odd, yet pretty book on top of her mother’s book shelf drawing her to it, even when she didn’t even know she was a witch. and now she was the owner of it, ready to be used to grant her with a wish. the blonde giggled to herself. she lifted dimple off the comfort of her bed and grabbed the handle of the tea cake stand she brought from the kitchen. but not before casting a levitating charm on said book so it would follow behind as she walked to the living room. she got there just as a cauldron cake passed before her, making her stumble on her feet before picking her pace again.  “ since we eatin’ nothing but sweets, ” she eyed the candies damon brought, already pointing to the chocoballs as if she was mentally telling them that those were hers and only hers. “ i made a few sarnies. ” placing the cake stand on the coffe table, dimple jumped off her arms to lay down on the edge of one of the sleeping bags. delaney moved to the window and looked up to the twinkling sky, a smile on her face before she looked down to the muggle watch around her wrist. “ me’ silly calculations say that the shooting stars will happen soon. ” she giggled, turning to them as she grabbed the grimoire that was still levitating behind her. “ do you already know what you’re gonna wish for ? i’ve been thinking about it since i left st. mungos and i still have nothing. ” she started to page the book with a concentrated look, humming lowly.        @unfocuseds . 「 🍵  delaney has used a veritaserum boost.  」 「 ✨  delaney has cast a spell. 」  「 ✨  delaney has brought up a magical subject. x2 」 「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x10 」

" thank you. ” delaney beamed at the end of her little show, coming into a stop with a final pose. compliments always succeed to make the ravenclaw gush, and this fact goes waaaay back to when delaney was a little, cherub angel with zero knowledge about her being a little, cherub witch. she may not be a celebrity in the muggle world--- merlin, she was probably just a ( pretty ) face in the wizarding world who once upon a time walked down the halls of hogwarts with a head girl badge, but that never stopped muggles to shower her with nothing but compliments, attention and love. she didn’t crave compliments but she always took them with a beautiful smile. briar-rose mentioning that she looked beautiful made her beam as she folded her hands in front of her. “ i bought the robes weeks ago or so. the best purchase i’ve ever made, not kidding. sadly this is making me think how many galleons i’ve been spending on clothes. ” she made a face. “ nothing but robes. ” 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x3 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned something from hogwarts: a history. x2 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned something from the kiosk. 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x6 」

delaney was a giggling mess when they clinked their glasses against each other’s. and yes, she was still a giggling mess ---just a bit quieter, though--- as the other ravenclaws talked. she was lost in the lovelace land that she been growning in her brain ever since she was a kid ! the witch was listening, yes, but at the same time she couldn’t stop thinking about how badly she wanted another red currant rum. yep, she was on the verge of getting drunk ! the french braided witch giggled, cradling her cheek upon the small of her palm as she looked down to her drink. “ oh, me ? ” she pointed to herself with a tilt of her head. she beamed, then. “ ‘m under healer cat de garcia ! not literally, right, but yeah. ” she giggled, taking a quick sip from her the drink. another sip and she would be done with it. “ i loooove he’. i was shakin’ in me’ robes when i first started the program, right ? but she made me feel sooooo safe. but, ye’ know, ‘m ready fo’ eve’one to call me healer lovelace now ! ” she beamed, almost clapping her hands until she realized she was still holding her glass. “ oh merlin. ” the french native giggled, finishing the liquid with a quick sip before calling out for the bar maid with a loud, lullaby like tone. yeah, she was lost.        @ofprodigals  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned something from hogwarts: a history. 」  「 ✨  delaney has used a wizarding idiom. 」 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a magical subject. 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x2 」

“ at least you’re free now, no ? ” delaney’s smile was soft as she eyed the former gryffindor from her spot, a little pout warming up her features. “ have you tried the coffee from the cart next to wiseacre’s shop ? ” her inquiry may have been a little bit too haphazard, but she promised ( to no one but herself, really ) that she had a point. “ their coffee is not only good, but it will help you stay with energy after such a long day. ” the blonde grinned. “ just ask them to add a bit of sugar, though. it’s too bitter. ” she stuck her tongue out, scrunching her nose as if expressing disgust.  “ yeah, what was the name of ye’ quidditch team again ? ” delaney couldn’t help but cringe at her own question. she really was so clueless at topics that involved quidditch... as clueless as the way she used to be when she first walked into her first transfiguration class as a first year from hogwarts. it was like if rowena ravenclaw had casted a confudus charm on the witch ! not like she would do that, though, but still. delaney shook her head and gave her surroundings a quick look, smiling at the wix that were enjoying their afternoon in the likes of diagon alley. she was looking over whizz hard books when she opened her mouth. “ from former head girl to former head girl, ye’ also got worried that the castle would fall on you, too ? ” she said that giggling before looking back at the older witch, eyes sparkling with amusement but curiosity, too. “ you know, i miss it. many first, second years made me see me’ luck and i may have cried more than five times ‘cause people just wouldn’t listen but it was fun. i miss hogwarts, too. even when i was scared of it fallin’ on me. ” delaney sighed softly, closing her eyes as if she was looking at an interesting film behind her eyelids. “ ye’ believe my wish will come true if i wish to go back to my seventh year of hogwarts when the meteor shower happens ? ” she giggled. she was obviously not going to wish that ! 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x11 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x13 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned something from hogwarts: a history. x5 」 

delaney blinked when she looked up from her little, silly purchase--- a magical object that was not needed ! but still dropped galleons, sickles and knuts on the counter as if her life depended on it, a maroon colored bag long forgotten as hazel hues trained on briar-rose’s face. the pony tailed witch grinned immediately. “ briar-rose, hey ! ” the former ravenclaw beams, her next stop to honeydukes coming into a stop for a moment. “ maybe. i am in the mood for some sugar quills and knowing me, i will leave with the entire store. ” delaney giggled, feet clad with strappy heels walking her closer to her former housemate. “ wanna see what i just got ? ” the witch was beaming as she motioned to the bag she was holding, not even bothering to wait for the other’s response as she pulled out an indigo, velvet like pointed hat out of the bag, grinning as a child in a christmas’ morning. “ isn’t she pretty ? i fell in love the moment i saw her. it even has a little bow here. ” delaney giggled as she rotated the hat and pointed to the silver bow. “ i am thinking of changing the color of it, though. maybe a bronze. muy a la ravenclaw. ” she pulled her wand out from her bag and pointed it to the bow. apparently, she was too impatient to wait until she was home. “ colovaria. ” she mused, watching how the silver changed into the perfect shade of bronze. “ ah, perfect. she’s prettier now. tell me, how do i look ? ” in a swift, the witch pulled it over her head and grinned, starting to model the hat and the pristine short dress she was wearing under an indigo cloak she bought at madam malkin’s weeks ago. a very witchy delaney lovelace was feeling herself ! 「 💘  delaney has used beautifying potion boost. 」  「 ✨  delaney has bought a pointed hat. 」 「 ✨  delaney has cast a spell. 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x13 」  「 ✨  delaney commented on something found from the kiosk. 」 

delaney’s response was just an amiable simper, a head tilting just the slightest to the side. “ applebye carrows are bein’ hard on ye’, fatima ? ” the short in height witch knew she had just mispronounced the famous quidditch team in a very grandiose way, but she still smiled. she just hoped that the former gryffindor wouldn’t mind, not when almost everyone knew how, dare she say it, ...delayed she was on topics regarding the popular wizarding sport. delaney liked watching it when she was in hogwarts, yes, but she never understood what was going on ! truth be told, fatima black may be an idol, an inspiration to the likes of delaney lovelace, but the former ravenclaw only knew fatima was part of the appleby arrows because of her life as a vivid witch weekly reader. not like she reads the quidditch columns, anyways... she would just beam at fatima’s name and say something like, i know her ! before flipping the page. the wavy haired witch chuckled. “ i mispronounced that, right ? sorry. ‘m not the greatest when it comes to quidditch... stuff. ” she giggled, gentle hands working on the zipper of her satchel. “ it’s so good to see ye’, fatima. i believe our last conversation involved me almost getting a panic attack ‘cause i was scared of hogwarts falling apart while i was a head girl, right ? ” she giggled. “ hogwarts stands still so getting a calming drought that night was for nothing. well, for calmin’ me down, of course, but yeah. ”  「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x6 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon magical object. x10 」 

“ oh no, i won’t leave. ” delaney shook her head, luminous curls bouncing behind the movement. “ imagine spendin’ months trainin’ to become a full badged healer for you just to say, to the underworld with this ! and leave it to work somewhere that isn’t as... extensive and grueling. oh no, imagine all the wasted time. ” the strawberry blonde gasped at said thought, a hand settling on top of her chest. “ oh. okay ! that sounds like a plan. ” she giggled, fixing the strap over her shoulder. “ of course i would like to ! i am gonna meet you at the leaky cauldron with my shopping bags, then. ” she said with a grin, starting to walk backwards to the exit. “ good luck if you do end up in the spell-damage ward. hopefully you won’t see the witch that has been trying to transfigure her ears into the perfect bunny ears for days. i keep telling her, ms. grandum, you can’t do this if you don’t understand what you’re doing, and she always says that she just wants to hear better while looking cute, like, what ?  ” delaney was giggling when saying that, waving her fingers to collette as a goodbye before leaving the wizarding hospital. 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x6 」  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon object. 」 

“ thank you. ” a whisper was barely heard from the porcelain delaney was holding close to her lips, the idea, the thought, the dream of not talking about st. mungos making her look at the witch with nothing but gratitude in her eyes. “ apologies. i guess i kind of let the dementors of healer training to drain me’ soul the moment i started with the program. it’s sad ! that’s all i’ve been talkin’ about now that i’m thinkin’ ‘bout it. ” she grimaced, a button nose scrunching. “ eiuck. ‘m turning into me’ can’t-stop-talkin’-about-my-work mom. ” she giggled at that, taking a sip of her tea eventually. remind her to owl her mother later, brain. “ what ? ” hazel hues went wide for a moment, glossy lips formed into a perfect ‘o’ shape as she listened to the witch. “ blood bond ? ... is that an actual----oh, good. i thought that was a real thing for a moment. ” the strawberry blonde mused, pulling the witch weekly closer to the cup she had just lowered down. “ i got incredibly scared for vampires’ sake, really. ” she snickered awkwardly, fingertips looking through the magazine to find the article esther was talking about. delaney eyed the title and scrunched her nose. “ yikes. ” she placed her wand down. “ it does sounds like something from the quibbler, yeah, ” fingertips turn the rest of the pages with a bit of disinterest, hues barely paying attention to the bold letters and moving pictures. “ but it makes it... scarier that it is not from there ? you know what i mean ? like, everything in the quibbler is all... silly theories and all that, right ? while witch weekly is, you know, real. so there really was someone trying to blood bond with lorcan d’eath in middle of the street and that’s crazy. and scary. i feel bad fo’ him. ” she giggled at the end, taking hold of the cup before bringing it to her lips.  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon object. x6 」  「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x7 」 

“ i’ve been great. ” delaney responded with a content sigh, hazel eyne fluttering close for just a moment. that was her first mistake. “ what about---- dimple ! ” a loud meow forced the blonde to huff and turn away from the witch, moving quickly to pick the kitten up from the ground before he started to play, tap, scratch, or whatever, the siberian cat that stood in front of his tiny form, teeth out and all to attack the tiny annoyance before it. the ravenclaw supposed dimple was about to attack, too. his claws against her skin made her flinch for a moment. “ ‘m sorry cat, but shoo. ” she mumbled to the older looking cat, motioning him to leave with a wave of her hand and once it ambled away, delaney rose dimple to her face. “ you scoundrel ! why can’t you stop pickin’ up fights with literally anything that moves ? ” dimple was laughing at her and her and she knew that, so the witch just huffed, pulled the feline to her chest and returned to her friend. “ sorry. dimple has been a troublemaker since this morning. pretty sure he has made more magical mischief in one day than those third years that made me shake in my head girl badge at hogwarts last year. ” she hums. “ but yeah. how have you been, sugar ? ”  「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon object. x2 」 「 ✨  delaney has brought up a canon object. x4 」  

the sound of quincy’s voice brings delaney to pull the bag of her purchase closer to her chest. when was the last time she has seen this particular wizard slash half - veela ? a month ago ? maybe two months ago ? the blonde couldn’t remember, but she knew she was seconds away from starting to act the same way she did back in that day; she was starting to get both nervous and shy ! pathetic ! " i... ” the witch gulped, doe eyes blinking as if her charmed alarm woke her up from a long, deep sleep in the morning. again, delaney was a mature witch who was not going to stutter when talking to the other half of an unrequited crush. so, she cleared her throat and raised her chin.  “ ‘m just shoppin’, i guess. i was dismissed from work early and this is how ‘m losin’ my time. ” she giggled, dainty shoulders draped with a velvet beige cloak shrugging a little. “ it is a pretty decent day, right ? i may be in love with spring but there’s something so charming about autumn that makes you to go out once in a while. ” 「 ✨  delaney has mentioned a canon object. x5 」
