Lyra's Introduction:
"like the clarion morning bells greeting the friendly townsfolk" - @creampuffcloudsdreaming
The new 5th year at Hogwarts, sorted into Gryffindor
Muggleborn and therefore pretty overwhelmed by the turn her life has taken
Her father Gottfried Prag was from the German Empire and came to England in 1873 to work at the embassy. He met Dorabelle Finch, who was from a well respected, rich family. They fell in love and married against her fathers wishes, which left them in a precarious financial situation
After the birth of their second child Claire (1884), said child and Gottfried get smallpox in early 1888, of which Gottfried dies eventually. Claire survives, but is left with a disabled leg.
Lyra is at school at the time and gets no chance to say goodbye to her father. This led to her not really reckoning with his death. These events however help her relate to Natty later, as she herself feels guilty over not being there when her father died and not grieving properly.
Lyra was born 4th of October 1875, making her only 14 when being accepted into Hogwarts, as in 1890, the rule is that everyone who reaches the age of 11 until December 31st of a year will start school that year. It's Professor Weasley who advocates for a change of that rule to make it that they have to be 11 before they start school, so next time there is a student like Lyra, there will be more of a chance they won't have to start school in their OWL year
Fig shows up at Lyra's school in early August 1890 to give her her acceptance letter. He needs to proof he's actually telling the truth by making her belongings dance across the table. She instantly likes him as he makes her feel truly seen for the first time.
Lyra is an outsider at her old school, with the other girls not exactly being mean, but also not nice. The popular girls make an effort to isolate her from others. Everyone being so welcoming at Hogwarts almost makes her cry.
Lyra is usually very quiet, loves reading and all sorts of animals. Attention of crowds makes her uncomfortable, but she likes being asked for input and will happily talk about her favorite books or the pretty bird she saw for hours.
At Hogwarts:
Wand: Alder, 10¾", phoenix feather core
Favorite subjects: DADA, Beasts, Potions
Least favorite subject: Astronomy (It's not that she hates it, but it's the least fun)
Academic pursues:
Lyra does pretty well in classes, but doesn't often attract attention, so she neither wins nor loses many house points. (Especially since she manages to hide her spare time activities of fighting poachers and sneaking into forbidden places pretty well.)
As for her OWLs, well, take a look for yourselves:
Future Career:
Lyra will be an Auror one day. She wants to keep protecting the people of the Wizarding World, not only by fighting dark wizards (and poachers), but also by trying to help those who turn to the Dark Arts in desperation and fear. She feels if she is the one deciding who to arrest, she can figure these things out and perhaps make a different call, like she did for Sebastian.
Best friends:
Natsai Onai
Easy one. Natty is the first to be kind to her at school and also the first person Lyra tells about her Ancient Magic after their eventful trip to Hogsmeade. As they are both Gryffindors and have nearly every class together, they quickly become inseperable. They're both new and they share a quiet nature and a strong sense of justice. They also bond quite a bit over the loss of their fathers and the guilt they both feel on this matter. Over the course of the year, their bond grows ever stronger and soon becomes unbreakable.
Sebastian Sallow
Lyra is sold on this friendship the moment he doesn't berate her for besting him in a duell, but doesn't quite know how to handle him, as she never had much contact with boys her age. Luckily, Sebastian is the kind of person to persist. After the events of the Restricted Section, she is hopelessly infatuated. He is the second person to learn about her abilities after he's shown her the Undercroft. Lyra sees him spiralling after they found Slytherin's spellbook and tries her best to get him to stop searching into Dark Arts without making him feel like he's alone in his fight for Anne. After the unfortunate outcome, she is there for him as much as she can, just as he is there for her after the fight against Ranrok. They understand each other perfectly and often without words after all they've been through together.
Poppy Sweeting
Lyra, who loves animals so much and who is delighted to find out magical beasts exist, of course takes an instant liking to the girl that introduces her to a hippogriff. She also sees herself in Poppy, who is a bit of an outsider at Hogwarts, just like Lyra used to be at her old school. Poppy learns about Ranrok soon, but doesn't ask many questions. At the end of the schoolyear, Lyra tells her the whole truth about what was going on.
Amit Thakkar
No matter what anyone says, Lyra loves this blubbering mess of a Ravenclaw to pieces. He is so smart and knows so much, but is also so nervous and erratic all the time that she can't help but like him. When they go find the first astronomy table and they see the lyra, Amit says it might be a sign. He is her go-to source whenever she needs to know anything specific or obscure and more often than not he can help her out or point her to the right book. Amit on the other hand loves hearing about the muggle world and their inventions from her. He learns about Ranrok in the mine and also gets told the whole story at the end of the year. She feels she owes him that. In their sixth year, Lyra takes him to all the astronomy tables so he can do his research safely.
Ominis Gaunt
After a bad start, these two bond after the whole scriptorium thing as they both become more and more worried about Sebastian and try to work together in bringing him back to reason. Lyra, knowing nothing about the hatred of pureblood families against muggleborns and how the use of dark magic is tied to this until he and Sebastian explain it to her, doesn't have the same Gaunt bias that most other students have and is honestly curious about the old traditions. She is amazed by his ability to speak parseltongue and his general competence, as someone being blind in the society she's grown up in wouldn't be deemed capable of going to school with non blind people. Ominis likes that she is not afraid or resentful of him for being a Gaunt and that he can speak his mind freely around her. They love to bicker every now and then, especially in History of Magic class. He is the last person to learn about her Ancient Magic, because Lyra feels like he has enough to worry about already. He is told at the same time as Poppy and Amit and nearly freaks out that she was carrying so much and still helped with Sebastian. And Harlow? And the poachers? Seriously, when and how does she rest?
What do they make of it?
Lyra in her sixth year decides to hide Isidoras Magic again, with new trials and some more memories. So she chooses new keepers: Natty, Poppy, Amit and Ominis. Sebastian gets why he wasn't chosen to protect a source of immense power, but is still a little hurt. They'll figure it out somehow.

thinking about the fact that this is their first stargazing date.
their first kiss.
their first “i love you.”
all under the same sky.
saoirse spends the entire evening looking up at the stars because she’s convinced they’re the prettiest thing she’s ever seen.
dan spends the entire evening looking at her because, to him, they stopped being the prettiest thing the second she sat down beside him.
she tells him she loves him so quietly that he could pretend he didn’t hear it.
instead, he smiles, cups her face like she’s something impossibly precious, and kisses her.
For @baby-snakey <3,
Thank you for letting me borrow Saoirse 😭🤍
Genuinely, I don’t think Dan and Saoirse would’ve become what they are without you being so willing to throw ideas back and forth with me. Every time I send you a headcanon, you somehow manage to make me love them even more. AAAA
One of my favourite things has honestly been how enthusiastic you’ve been about them. Usually I end up yapping into the void about my OCs, or the ship headcanons , so having someone match (or somehow exceed???) my energy has been such a nice surprise. It’s made creating them so much more fun. 💕💕💕
Thank you for screaming over every drawing, every tiny detail, every little “what if” and every stupidly soft moment with me. I genuinely look forward to our daily Dan & Saoirse yapping sessions. 😭🤍
You’re officially wife of the year for feeding my OC brainrot instead of enabling me to be normal. 😂😂😂😂
(Now prepare yourself because I fear there is approximately 17 years worth of Dan & Saoirse art and headcanons headed your way. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💯💯💯🤺🤺💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻)
i fear i may have accidentally given myself irreversible emotional damage over these BABIESS AHHHHH.
Finally finished part three of six (sorry for taking so long, art block hit and now I'm back to uni 😭) with @ravenothere's drop-dead gorgeous girl Myrna! I was so happy you won the raffle because I've been meaning to draw her; she's so gorgeous! I can tell a lot of love and thought have gone into her character design! I'm so glad she's in two of my other upcoming challenges cause huhurghuguhgr I think I might be crushing
If you'd like any variants or adjustments (like with no bg, any extra stuff, inaccuracies to fix), or if you'd like me to send you the image, please let me know! I'd be happy to do it!

A/N: So uhh…I apologise to anyone who loves Imelda. I personally think she’s a great character, but she’s like, a very serious person, and I thought this would make sense for her. Also, has anyone else read the Moneky's Paw?
Ch. 5 | Ch. 6 | Ch. 7
Wyanne
“Oh come on,” Wyanne groaned as the Devil’s Snare’s abhorrent crawling sounds surrounded her. “I swear, the maintenance in this place is horrible.”
She casted several orbs of light to surround her, the Snares hissing angrily at the burn of the bright lights as she passed. “Who even owns a castle so big and not bother to hire a few people to clean the place? Or, better yet, just implant a few lamps in these dark corridors! Hire a group of investigators to explore and properly draw a map for this place! I’m sure there are plenty of people who could use a job.”
She kept grumbling on as she moved through the dark corridors, which seemed to swell and shrink rhythmically. Sometimes it shrunk small enough for Wyanne to bend down and carefully manoeuvred her way out(Luckily there were no snares), and then it would expand into a hollow tunnel large enough for a Graphorn to move through. When she came upon crossroads, Revelio and Ellis helped her make a choice. Some corridors were more narrow than others, there were stairs and slides, and a few times she was almost convinced she had come back to the same spot, but it was just the illusion of the darkness.
“Ellis?” ]̸̰̖͔̟̼̲̮́̓̉͆̈̒͜ͅ/̸̛͖̝͔́̐̈́̿̔͘#̴̦̖̍̽̈́̃%̴̢̥̫̳̤̫͛̇̋$̶̞̓̈́͜^̶̛̻͖̼̽͊̇̾̏͊̂̍ͅ “How much further?” #̷̛̞̺́͋̈̾͘͝^̷͍̜̲͔̰͍͕̫̔̆̿̔̏̉̈́̎͘̕(̵̩͈̌̍͒̏̒̄̉̓͆͘&̵̡̘̆̍̕$̴̡̻͖͆̓̋͋͗͆͠͠?̴͔͎̟̳͉̺̯̀̄ She groaned. “I hate you.”
Everyone
“I swear, you won’t succeed,” Imelda rolled her eyes as everyone stood outside the library, waiting for the others to floo over.. “We all tried! The gates are not accessible!”
“How about you be quiet and let them do what they know?” Zachary hissed. “You’ve been going on about the same problem since we left! Give it a rest!”
“I’m just saying that it’s impossible, Thorns!” Imelda defended. “Okay!” Andrew pulled Zach away. “Let’s not argue? Please?” Ray joined in and grabbed Zach’s flailing arm to stop his struggling.
“This is pointless!” “Now, Imelda —” “We were here just half an hour ago!” Andrew nodded, “I know, I know it feels pointless but maybe the door’s unlocked now!” “We could be spending this time on searching other places instead of here!” Zachary rolled his eyes. “As if we haven’t already?!”
“Please just stop talking…” Mylene whispered from the nausea of hearing everyone else’s angry opinions, loud and noisier than a crowd of Quidditch onlookers.
Vincent and Castiel both looked pretty pissed off. Lukai and Myrna were exchanging awkward glances as Imelda and Zachary bit each other’s head off (with Andrew trying his best to reason with each statement). Lyra was rubbing Mylene’s back in an attempt to soothe her discomfort. Leander was playing with Tony’s hair while his boyfriend inspected the very interesting curves on his wand. River had just arrived and had no idea what was going on, but the tense atmosphere and shouting among the Bombarda Trio and Imelda told him enough.
Emcy finally arrived with Carina being carried in his arms. “What’s going on here?”
Imelda noticed the couple and turned her frustration on them. “Are you seriously playing princess right now, Savage?”
“I’m what?” Carina stared at her in bewilderment. “Playing princess? What are you talking about?”
“This!” Imelda gestured at Emcy carrying Carina in his arms. “We’re looking for a missing person and you’re — what, worried that you’ll dirty your shoes?!”
“Imelda,” Andrew tugged her robe worriedly, “please, I know you’re frustrated, but this isn’t helping anyone! Everyone’s worried, and I know your heart’s in the right place, but we have people here who could go to the Restricted Section without Restrictions, and it’s possible that Teddy is in there somehow. We cannot skip this place just because it was locked for us.”
“And for the record,” Emcy had a vein popping in their forehead despite their casual tone, “Carina's feet hurt from running around, looking for our friends. I offered to carry her. You don’t have to be so bitter about how I choose to treat my girlfriend, as it is none of your business and will change nothing for you either. Keep your frustrations to yourself and don’t ruin others’ feelings when everyone has their own worries plaguing themselves. You can leave."
Imelda’s face was beet red. Andrew was gaping — almost everyone was, actually — and Carina as looking up at her boyfriend in shock and awe.
“Now,” Emcy was still carrying Carina without an ounce of shame, “the Restricted Section?” He went into the library first, and the others soon followed.
Vincent nudged Castiel. “Do you want me to carry you like that as well?” Castiel sputtered and smacked Vincent’s backside.
Wyanne
She reached the top of the stairs and sighed. A trapdoor. "How very original." Ellis slipped out and made a sound. “Well. You know what to do.” It didn’t complain and slipped through the cracks.
She took a good look around at the walls around her as she waited. The stones were grey and smooth, like the ones in Slytherin’s Scriptorium, only there weren’t diaries or notes scattered about. There was only a stone plate with words carved into it.
Only the true Heir of Slytherin will wake the Sleeping Beast.
Wyanne snickered. So the Heir of Slytherin is the Prince Charming to Sleeping Beauty?
A few seconds later, the trapdoor lifted, and Ellis pulled Wyanne up.
*̶̛̪͋̾̒̅̆̚^̷̛̣̬͊͗̓̍̆̿͠͠$̸̖̹̯̥̍͛̋͂̈́̓͂͂̏̓)̶̦͍̪̔͒̓̎̑͠#̶̡̢̫͓̞̍͐͋̐̀̉̚̕͘͘!̶̡͍̰̟̣͓̭̣͛̋́̎̽̋̌͒͝!̸̛͙̻̳͖̜̑̈̈́̐̀͋͂͗̀!̸̛̩͛́̒̈́͐̃͌̿ “Thanks.” She patted the dirt and dust off her robe and looked around her. She snickered, "no bloody way..." The ridiculous situation Ellis had put her in had just become incredulously laughable.
Everyone
“Imagine the scandal we’ll cause for this,” River snickered when Ray opened the gates easily, making Imelda even madder. “I don’t know,” Lyra looked at the other Hogwartians in the library as everyone ran in, “it seems they’re all quite absorbed in their own studies.” She walked in after Mylene, and River shut the door before following.
“Three on the ground level, five on the basement,” Emcy quickly instructed, “everyone else keep going!”
No one complained. After all, the two missing individuals were Emcy’s closest friends in Hogwarts. Lyra, Myrna, and Mylene stayed on the ground level, then River, the Bombarda Trio, and Imelda searched the basement. Everyone else rushed through the door to the storage room.
Imelda was still trying to understand what Ray did with the gate, Andrew comforting her as the two stood guard at the stairway. Zachary and Ray were practically strolling through the storey, looking through each identical section to find nothing. Then their interests were piqued by the antique in the display case, leaving only River walking to the last section and finding nothing.
Meanwhile, upstairs, the girls had finished searching and found no sign of either the Gryffindor or the Hufflepuff. Mylene sat down for a brief moment of reprieve, with Myrna at her side. Lyra didn’t want to make the Legilimens feel any more uncomfortable with her own thoughts, so she went off to the other side of the library and looked down the balcony surrounded by the bookcases. A head of white hair at the edge caught her eye.
“Hey, River!” Lyra smiled when her friend’s head popped out. “Hi!”
“Hello!” River waved back happily. “What’ve you found up there?”
“Books and scrolls,” Lyra looked down. “What’s in that display case?”
River looked through the glass and tilted his head curiously. “A bunch of shriveled hands.”
“Have you ever heard of wish-granting hands? It’s a sort of dark magic. You get a dead hand or paw, do the ritual, and it’ll grant you as many wishes as it can depending on how many fingers the hand has. The catch is that with each wish, a horrible consequence will occur.”
“A horrible consequence? Does someone die?” “Most likely.”
While the people on these two levels caught their breaths, the rest of the search team had finished searching the storage room and bolted for the swirling staircase.
“Is it possible he’s in the Athenaeum?” Vincent asked worriedly as the spiral stairs came to an end.
“I’m not sure,” Emcy whispered. He prayed it wouldn't come to that…
“The Athenaeum?" Lukai asked. “The first trial the Keepers placed for Ancient Magic wielders,” Carina explained, now running on her own after convincing Emcy. “You don’t suppose those Sentries could respawn?”
She was met with silence. Dreadful silence.
Emcy opened the door. There the portal stood, glowing in the dark chamber. “That’s the Athenaeum?” Lukai asked incredulously. “It’s a portal,” Vincent deadpanned.
“Is it alright if I transfigure the stairs into a slide?” Emcy asked. After getting everyone’s agreement, he went through and turned the stone stairs into a long slide. “Go ahead.”
“How long does this go on?” Castiel asked as Vincent led him through. “A while.” Vincent settled his boyfriend between his legs. “I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise.” “...I trust you.” Vincent kissed his cheek and, together, the two Slytherins slid down. Castiel’s shout( mixed with a few French curses) echoed through the tunnel.
Leander and Tony went through next, the couple grasping hands tightly before pushing themselves off together. Leander’s high pitched scream was even louder than Castiel’s.
“I love slides,” Carina settled herself against Emcy’s chest, and he grabbed her waist lest she slip away. “I…” Emcy scooted a little forward. “I don’t really like them.” He scooted the last inch, and the couple slid down way too fast for comfort. The smooth stone slide erased almost any existing friction, making them speed down faster than you can scream “Arresto Momentum”.
They stopped at the end, where the slide had finally flattened to a stop.
“I’m never doing that again,” Leander’s face was whiter than Emcy’s hair. Castiel looked a little better than the other redhead. Tony and Vincent hugged their respective boyfriends while Emcy walked up to the door…and kicked on something. The something rolled a little ways away before stopping at the base of the staircase. Carina picked it up.
“Do you recognise this?” When Emcy shook his head, Carina raised the wand handle up for everyone to see. “Does anyone recognise this?”
Vincent’s eyes widened a fraction upon recognition. “That’s the gift I gave Teddy for his birthday.”
This piece features @lyra-prag Lyra, Leo @vagrandeer Castiel and Tony @cherryray-hl Vincent @mayui-ao Andrew, Ray, and Zachary @amus2110 Carina @ravenothere Lukai, Myrna, Mylene @mostboringcrossover River
Roselight shenanigans for my beloved @ravenothere. Because I adore Myrna so so much and I love all of my Tobi ships.
3k words… Help! How did that happen??
Rating: T for teen, tooth rotting, and Tobi being…well…Tobi.
Tobi made his way into the library with purpose and far too much curiosity. The note in his hand from Nurse Blainey had been tormenting him since she’d pressed it into his palm. She had worn an oddly pleased smile as she told him to bring it straight to Carina.
He had considered peeking. Only briefly. Ok, so he was still considering it. He cleared his thoughts and returned to the task at hand.
He scanned the library tables for her, privately hoping she had not disappeared into the Restricted Section. Madam Scribner would likely have his hide if he started wandering down there uninvited.
As it happened, he did not have to look far.
Behind Madam Scribner’s desk sat Carina, her hair catching the lamplight. She was chatting animatedly. And it wasn’t hard to see why. Seated beside her on top of the desk sat Myrna.
Tobi’s steps slowed and an easy smile broke across his face.
His interest had first snagged when he first met his best friend's sister with the pink highlights that scattered through her hair. He had been fascinated from the first moment he saw her, though at the time he had convinced himself it was only because she happened to share his fondness for pink. To this day she still seemed so unimpressed by him.
Now, unfortunately, his problem had grown. To the point Luke endlessly teased him about how much Tobi fancied his sister.
He spent enough time in the library these days, determined not to fail his classes, but also enjoying that it let him spend time with Myrna. Ever since doing so he started to notice things. The way Myrna tucked herself into corners like she never meant to leave them. The way her face changed when she was truly lost in a book. The way she muttered to herself when something on the page captured her fully. The little huffs, the tiny eye rolls, the small smiles she gave when she was so absorbed in her own little world.
And what made matters worse… he had apparently become incapable of behaving normally around her. His grin stayed plastered across his face at the best of times, like now.
“Tobi?” Carina looked up at him, one pale brow arching. “You look as though you’re up to no good.”
“Aye, perhaps I am,” he said, grin widening, then held up the letter. “Nurse Blainey asked me to give you this.”
Carina took it, but Tobi’s attention had already betrayed him. Myrna had glanced up at him. That was all it ever took to make his thoughts turn to mush.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, giving him a look that said, here we go again, though the twitch at the corner of her mouth was awfully close to a smile. Tobi’s grin softened causing Myrna to look away first.
Carina broke the letters seal and scanned its contents. A second later she snorted, then covered her mouth as a fit of giggles escaped her.
Tobi blinked. “Is that good?”
“For me?” Carina said. “Probably.”
“Now I want to know?” Myrna reached out for the letter before Tobi could even ask why.
Carina passed it over. “It seems your brother still can’t stay on his broom.” She huffed, rolling her eyes. Tobi bit his lip to keep from chuckling.
Myrna read it and sighed. “What has gotten into him?” Tobi fought to keep his mouth shut, ducking his head. He was not about to spill Luke’s motives.
“Since Nurse Blainey's making him my charge for the afternoon,” Carina sighed, a bit too cheerfully, “I’ll need to rely on you to return these to the Restricted Section for me.” She turned and tapped the large stack of books beside the desk. She then slipped a worn key into Myrna’s hand with a folded note.
Myrna stared at the teetering stack. Then at Carina. Then back to the stack.
“I can’t carry all of those by myself.” She huffed, pouting.
Tobi grinned, he thought her pout was the cutest thing he had ever seen.
Carina, who clearly noticed everything and spared no one, turned to him with a look of pure innocence. “Tobi can help you.”
His ears went pink so quickly that they might have caught fire.
“Aye,” he grinned. “Course I can.” Time alone with Myrna sounded fantastic, especially without her brother snickering at his horrendous flirting and moonstruck expressions.
Myrna looked at him, then at the books, and let out a small sigh. “All right. But if you ruin any of these books, I’m letting Carina hex you.”
Tobi perked up. “Deal!”
Carina made a tiny choking sound that was definitely a laugh as she grab her bag and practically skipped out of the library.
Myrna hopped down from the desk keeping her gaze fixed on the stack. “Do try not to set anything on fire.”
“Aye, absolutely,” Tobi said, scooping up the stack, causing it to immediately wobbled in his grasp.
“Why don’t I believe that!”
He grinned. “Probably because you make me nervous.”
Her eyes flicked up to his face, then away again. “That sounds like a you problem.”
“It is,” he admitted cheerfully. “A terrible one.”
She shook her head, but there was a softness to it now as she led the way toward the Restricted Section.
Once she unlocked the gate and they stepped inside, the light dimmed, and so did the noise of the rest of the library. The whole place felt tucked away with nothing but shelves and dust.
Tobi shifted the stack of books he carried and followed after her.
“So,” he said, his voice low, “any idea where these actually go?”
“Perhaps.” Myrna slid Carina’s note from her pocket and took the first volume from Tobi’s stack. She eyed the first low shelf and tucked it into place with a little hum. She turned back to glance at Tobi, who of course, was shamelessly watching her with a stupid grin on his face.
“You’re staring.” Myrna sighed.
“Aye, I am.” He grinned a bit wider. “I like to enjoy the beauty in my everyday life.”
Myrna scoffed shaking her head as she grabbed the next book and consulted the note to see where it should go. Tobi couldn’t miss the blush coloring her cheeks. It drew attention to the deep blue wisps of color along her left cheek. Tobi couldn’t help but think that they were beautiful, like brush strokes.
Myrna glanced back to him, her cheeks darkening further as she caught him staring again. She turned back to the shelves. “Staring isn’t going to help you shelve books.”
“No,” he scratched his brow and chuckled, balancing the wobbling stack of books with one arm. “But it does improve my afternoon.”
She let out the tiniest huff that might have been a laugh and held out her hand for the next book.
He gave it to her at once, far more pleased with himself than he had any right to be.
They moved shelf by shelf, Myrna consulting Carina’s note while Tobi handed her books or reached up to put the taller ones away at her direction.
A few minutes later she took a worn book from his hands, one with faded pink and brown stripes along the spine, and slid it beside a taller volume whose red binding had long since softened toward a dusty rose.
Tobi stared at the pair for a moment. Then he chuckled and pointed. “That’s us.”
Myrna blinked. “What?”
“Them.” He nodded toward the two books, smiling helplessly. “The little striped one and the rosey faded one, that’s us.”
For a moment she looked at the books, then to him. She covered her mouth, looked away, and tried very hard to stifle the giggle threatening to escape. It didn’t quite work. The sound of it sent a rush of warmth through him.
“Oh, that’s lovely,” Tobi chuckled. “I’ll be saying things like that again.”
Myrna shook her head. “You’re ridiculous.”
“Aye,” he grinned, delighted. “But you laughed.”
She cut a glance at him, cheeks still pink, and the fondness in it shocked him. His perpetual blush stretched to his ears.
With every shelf they finished, she seemed a little less guarded. At one point he reached over her shoulder to put away a book on a higher shelf, and she looked up just as he turned to look at her.
He smiled without thinking.
Myrna furrowed her brow as she looked at him. “What?”
“Nothing.” He shrugged.
“You’re smiling at me.”
“Am I not allowed?” Tobi’s brow lifted in question.
“You look terribly pleased with yourself.”
He laughed softly. “Can you blame me?”
Myrna’s mouth tugged at the corners. “You’re hopeless.”
Tobi pressed a hand to his chest. “That I know.”
Myrna only shook her head and reached for another book, though he noticed she was smiling to herself now.
His flirting, if it could even be called that, only got worse from there.
“You know,” he said as he passed her another book, “I think this is the nicest task I’ve done lately.”
“It’s shelving books.”
“Aye, but you’re here.”
Myrna looked down at the book in her hands, studying the faded title much harder than necessary. “That was a very shameless thing to say.”
“Aye,” he said. “It just slipped out.” This always happened when he was around her. He became a hopeless idiot, not that he ever tried to fight it.
“That seems to happen to you a lot.” Her fingers traced the binding of the book she was studying.
“It does when I’m around you.” Tobi shrugged.
He watched as Myrna’s cheeks darkened at his admission, and Tobi immediately wanted to clap a hand over his own mouth. Instead he tried to recover and only made it worse.
“I mean… not that you make me say foolish things. I do that well enough on my own.”
Myrna looked up at him then, soft and amused. “I know.”
He laughed helplessly.
A few shelves later she caught him watching her instead of the titles in his hands yet again.
“You’re staring again.” She sighed.
“Sorry.”
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “You say sorry, but you never stop.”
He shrugged. “Would it help if I said you’re lovely to look at?”
Myrna made a small sound under her breath, somewhere between exasperation and fond disbelief. “No, I don’t think it would.”
Tobi chuckled, grinning a bit wider .
By the time they reached the final book, he felt absurdly buoyant, all warm and bright from nothing more than being in Myrna’s company.
“That one goes up there,” Myrna said, pointing toward a high shelf.
Tobi wiggled the last book in his hand “See? We’ve done quite well. No casualties. No fire.”
Myrna gave him a look that was a bit soft around the edges. “You’re very proud of yourself.”
Tobi smiled hopelessly. “Aye, suppose I am, I got to spend time with a beautiful girl.”
Myrna froze for half a heartbeat, then tilted her head. “You really can’t help yourself, can you?”
“No,” he admitted. “I can’t.”
Her gaze lingered on him longer than usual. As if questioning, why her?
Tobi became very aware that he was still smiling at her like a complete idiot. He quickly turned toward the shelf with the final book. And caught his boot on a low stool.
Everything happened at once.
He lurched forward, splaying his arms, the book nearly flying from his hand as he tried to save himself. In doing so, he knocked into Myrna. She let out a yelp as they went down together.
Tobi twisted hard at the last second, one hand slamming to the floor beside her head, the other clutching the book. He caught himself just enough to keep from crushing her, his body braced over hers in a graceless heap.
For a second, the whole world stopped. Myrna lay beneath him, wide-eyed, hands tangled in the front of his sweater.
Tobi’s pulse roared in his ears.
“Duilich,” he gasped, voice rough. “Merlin, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… did I hurt you?”
She shook her head still staring up at him with wide eyes.
He should have moved. He knew he should have moved. Instead his eyes caught on the fine, wispy markings along the left side of Myrna’s face and neck, curving faintly over her cheek in the low light. Tobi sighed. They were beautiful like the most delicate brush strokes on the finest canvas. Without thinking, he let the book slip from his grasp and lifted his fingers tracing the edge of markings with the lightest touch.
Myrna went very still. His gaze dragged from the lines gracing her cheek to her eyes. One the richest brown and the other midnight blue. Both soft and impossible to look away from. Tobi wished he knew what she was thinking. He swallowed hard. His voice, when it came, was low and thick with nerves.
“Myrna…” He hesitated, searching her face and gently cupping her cheek. “Can I kiss you?”
She didn’t answer, she only looked at him, her brow furrowing ever so slightly, her eyes fixed on his as though she were trying to make sense of him. Of the question. Of whether he truly meant it.
Tobi felt his heart thud hard against his chest. He could almost see her mind reeling. A nervous breath escaped him, and then he chuckled, his thumb brushing over her cheek where his hand still cradled her. His eyes softened as he looked at her, warm and hopeful.
“You needn’t overthink it,” he murmured.
There was no pressure in it. If the question made her uneasy, he would take it back. He swallowed his own nerves and tried to steady himself long enough to say what he really meant. He let out a shaky breath.
“Myrna…I…I’ve fancied you for such a long time,” he admitted quietly, the corners of his mouth lifting in a small, self conscious smile. “An embarrassing amount of time, if I’m being honest.” His thumb brushed her skin again. Myrna remained unmoving, almost frozen beneath him. “So if the answer’s no, I’ll be alright,” he murmured, the smile drifting from his face, "because I truly care about you.”
For a moment she only stared at him, as if caught off guard by how serious he was. Then she swallowed. Without a word, her grip tangled in his sweater tightened as she pulled him closer.
Tobi’s breath caught. It wasn’t much, but it was enough. His eyes flicked quickly to hers again, because he had to be sure.
Myrna’s cheeks were pink, her expression soft and unreadable in that quiet, thoughtful way of hers, but she didn’t let go of his shirt. And she definitely didn’t push him away. If anything, her fingers curled a little tighter.
A small disbelieving smile broke across Tobi’s face. “Right,” he breathed, almost to himself. Then he leaned down slowly, giving her every chance to stop him, and kissed her.
His lips were tentative, as they brushed against hers. Treating the moment as if it were made of something fragile. He could feel her trembling, as if she were holding her breath. He kept the kiss soft, with a reverence that borderlined worship.
Myrna’s fingers curled tighter into his sweater, pulling him flush against her. Tobi gasped against her lips in surprise. The realization that she wanted this, that she was actually letting him, sent a surge of heat coursing through him.
A low groan escaped him against her lips. The gentleness grew in intensity deepening the kiss with a desperate hunger. He tilted his head, his lips sliding over the softness of hers to claim them.
He kissed her like she was the last drop of water offered to a man lost in a desert. His tongue slid against her lips, asking for entry. She let out a small gasp, allowing him to slip inside. He devoured her sweetness, his tongue sweeping through her mouth with a possessive heat, swirling against hers.
His hand, left cradling her cheek slid to tangle in her hair. He held her firmly enough to keep her close, pouring every ounce of the affection he’d kept buried into this kiss.
When Tobi finally pulled away, it was only by a fraction. His forehead resting against hers, their breath mingling as the warmth of her lips lingered on his.
Unable to resist, he smiled and leaned in again, stealing another kiss, slower this time, softer, lingering just long enough to savor it before pulling back.
A helpless, boyish grin spread across his face as Myrna’s eyes fluttered open to meet his. They both tried, and utterly failed, to steady their breathing. Neither of them spoke.
They simply stayed there, wearing the same shy, disbelieving smile. Tobi let out a quiet chuckle as he carefully untangled his fingers from the soft strands of her hair.
“Merlin…” he breathed, his grin growing wider. “I’ve wanted to do that for so long.”
Myrna pressed her lips together, trying and failing to keep a giggle from escaping. The sound slipped out anyway, her cheeks becoming impossibly pinker.
The sound made Tobi chuckle. He wrapped his arm around her waist and, with an easy roll, flopped onto his back, taking her with him.
“Tobi!” she squealed, surprised, landing sprawled across his chest. They dissolved into a fit of laughter, the sound echoing through the Restricted Section.
Tobi looked up at her, unable to believe she was actually there, smiling back at him, that he’d actually been able to kiss her. His heart felt so full it ached. He wondered if they could stay like this for the rest of the afternoon, smiling at one another, and discovering what this shift between them meant.
Beside them, the final book from Carina’s task lay forgotten on the cool floor, while neither one of them seemed particularly concerned about completing the task they were given.

And so, another year has passed. In two days, it'll be two years since we started chatting daily about Hogwarts Legacy, creativity, and life in general. A lot of time has gone by — so many artworks have been drawn and so many texts written together! And our 10k-page roleplay is just something else...
Anyway, happy birthday, dear! I wish you never lose your passion for the fandom, to have an endless supply of imagination and inspiration! And, of course, happiness, health, money — the classic👀
I love you, little wild berry🍒
Of course, no one knows this guy in the art. This is Lucas Noir — the guy Cherry fell for the moment he first appeared in my text in the roleplay. More precisely, Vincent instantly crushed on him when he came to Paris for the weekend. It led to huge problems, but now they've been resolved.
(I don't like Lucas because Vincent loses his mind over him, but I do love Lucas because he has a sad story of the only love in his life. Fortunately, not with Vincent.)
