𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽  :  the lion & the snitch pub, horizont alley  !

barwork, as the age old saying goes, wasn’t much ; but it was honest work. healing was only really considered a transferrable skill if she had the appropriate documentation to practice in muggle london - which in her circumstance was difficult to come by - or a wand to make use of what she had been taught during her first war years at st mungo’s. returning to the wixen world was not a decision that they had made lightly but for mary, actually rejoining it, accepting a place within it, was another story altogether. she’d made plenty of promises to caradoc over the past year about appointments at ollivanders to solve the main issue and letters written for jobs at the hospital, and these white lies were remarkably easy and totally unsustainable, in the long run. she knew it was only a matter of time before something or someone prompted her further, so she made sure to appreciate the hours spent behind the bar. working at the heart of wixen london while remaining so firmly off the beaten track was a nice middleground - one foot in, one foot out, still with the freedom to leave at any time. it kept her busy and taught her plenty, and mary was in no rush to change that and so makes herself inexpendable as the best barmaid she can be, moving to action before she’s ever even called upon. “can i get you a top up, pet?” she asks with a friendly smile, wiping away a spill from the surface of the bar with the rag that she’s carrying. “or anything for the road?”

🌟 …someone my muse trusts.

maisie has a problem in that she trusts entirely too many people. but the one person she trusts completely and without fail is her mother.

👀 …someone my muse likes, but doesn’t trust.

at the moment, marcus flint would fall into this category quite nicely. she doesn't know him well enough to trust him, but she'd like the opportunity.

🍓…someone my muse has never met, but wants to meet.

⧼   olivia cooke, cis woman, she & her   /   ironic by alanis morissette + make yourself a priority. she’s always struggled when it comes to putting herself first. she’s always been the kind of girl to put the needs of others above her own. even when it comes to her own self detriment. but she’s slowly and surely learning that sometimes, it’s okay to put yourself first.  see the good in all things. she looks at the world through a pair of rose colored glasses. despite all that she’s seen and all that she’s experienced - she’s still capable of seeing good in the world. it’s a rare talent. don’t compare. two words that have had an insurmountable impact on her life. first spoken by her mother as a reminder to be herself. she took to saying them in front of her mirror before the start of each day, still a reminder to be herself. and even now, in adulthood she carries them with her.   ⧽   ━━   hey, isn’t that MARGARET “MAISIE” CATTERMOLE? i read a daily prophet article on them, once ; the TWENTY NINE year old half blood WITCH is a HUFFLEPUFF alumnus who has gone on to be a HEALER. i’ve heard they can be quite BENEVOLENT & EBULLIENT, but i don’t know… they came off very CALLOW & IRRESOLUTE in that interview. it really is hard to know what to believe these days though, isn’t it? 

👮🏻‍♂️- how does my muse see authority? Is it something to be respected at all times, or is it okay to call out injustice hiding behind the letter of the law? Are they a rule-follower or an iconoclast?

☀️ SUN - are they a morning person? what is the first thing they do in the morning? maisie is without a doubt a morning person - the concept of sleeping in is incredibly foreign to her. she always starts her morning off with some light stretching and a cup of hot tea. 

𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽  :  malfoy manor, wiltshire  !

“listen, i’m not really meant to give my opinion, but between you and me…” and the rest of the malfoy’s guests, though no one was really paying them much attention ; luca had dropped her voice a couple of octaves, but she needn’t have bothered. everyone was so caught up in their inane conversations ( or just plain giddy off of scoring an invitation to the event of the year ) that they weren’t exactly taking mind of a lowly serving girl taking time out of her busy schedule to impart some simple wisdom, “i’d go with the moon glow cocktail over the others. the rocket fuel is all spirits, and if you want to be able to remember your night at all, you don’t wanna be downing any of those.” 

Lorcan needs a moment–they find themselves in a corner the Shrieking Shack, taking labored breathes with their eyes closed as they try and stop the hunger. Being around so many bodies certainly did not help. It’s been a while since the vampire had fed, but they thought they had some time. And the copious amount of alcohol they consumed certainly did not help one bit. “Fine,” Lorcan replies dryly. In any other occasion, they might have brushed the little girl’s hand off their shoulder, but the vampire leaves it there. They stare at the smooth skin of her neck, stomach grumbling. It would be so easy to take a bite. But they would like to think they aren’t as savage anymore, to take a drink without asking. “A breath of fresh air would be nice, my sweet.” The vampire allows her to take them towards the exit, inhaling deeply when they are surrounded by the cool air. Still, their stomach grumbles loudly.
