      the collection of barrels outside the hufflepuff common room had become like dear friends to andromeda in the past twenty minutes. she was stood next to them the whole time, but with nothing else to entertain herself, she began to memorize the different intricacies of each barrel: the one closest her was the most beat up, as if many a student had crashed into it in the past. then, there was the third one in on the second row, which was every so slightly a different color then the rest. 

      she was so distracted by figuring out what made each barrel different, that she almost missed the reason she was waiting near them in the first place; ted was approaching. several things had been weighing on her mind lately, and she just needed a moment with a friend outside of her usual social circle. when he drew near enough, she smiled and waved a quick hello, (and because it suddenly occurred to her how insane she must seem to anyone for waiting twenty minutes outside another common room) offering an explanation for her presence before he had a chance to ask for one himself, 

     “sorry! i wanted to talk to you, but i couldn’t figure out where you’d be, and i couldn’t wait inside, because- well, you know, slytherin.” 

Lienna was outside with the class, enjoying the nice day. She was laying on her back in the grass, eyes closed as she soaked in the warmth of the sun when she saw a shadow lean over her. She opened her eyes gently and instantly giggled the moment she felt a flower slip behind her ear. A blush of course found its way onto her tanned cheeks as she reach up to touch it lightly. “Thank you.” Enna grinned, but the grin disappeared when she realized he didn’t have one. “You need a flower too.” She said as she slowly sat up and started to glance around. @tonkated

Andromeda sat up with a jolt, a rush of air filling her lungs as she moved from sleep to rigid awareness, awake at last. The dim light slowly came into focus around her, attempting to help gain her bearings. When has she fallen asleep? Where was she? The smell of parchment and old books came next, paired with the towering vision of the library. “Bloody...” Andromeda muttered to herself as she sprung up, quickly packing her bags in the realization not only had she fallen asleep in the Library, but it was past curfew as well. Scurrying from the Library a bit frantically, the Slytherin tried to keep quiet thinking it wouldn’t be too hard to go back unnoticed, a mere shadow on the wall. As a figure turned the corner in front of her, Andromeda stopped in her path a bit startled, but even in the poor light she recognized the man to be Ted. “I’m aware it’s past curfew, but I’m just heading back to the dungeons.” Perhaps he could simply agree and let her go, no need for a conversation and certainly no confrontation.

Send “slurred words” to hear my muse describe yours whilst ridiculously drunk.

          it’s only a little past midnight; however, to andromeda, it feels as if it’s been ages. she’s sitting on a stone bench, her back rests on a colourful tapestry, her eyes are heavy from exhaustion. it's andromeda’s turn to patrol the hallway and even though she started off fresh, she's not sure whether she’ll manage to stay awake for any longer. no one seems to be around, for which meda is rather glad. just as she is about to rest her eyelids for a few minutes, she hears footsteps nearby, a pleasant, familar scent in the air. 

Doc!

Are you trying to ignore me again? I had come to the castle a few weeks back, but I didn’t get to meet you also..

Anyway, how have you been?

Its been really long since I’ve heard from you, everything alright, mate? How’s everything going on in the castle

Your brother from another mother, Ted Tonks

Hey bro-seph,

No, I am not ignoring you. I think our owls are being searched before we get them because I didn't know you were coming until after you'd already left. Sorry man.

I've been pretty good. Super busy with N.E.W.T.s and stuff, but that's all almost over. Just trying to figure out where to go to after graduation - which I'm hoping you'll be at, yeah?

Also, since I'll start applying for jobs soon, can I use you as a reference? Since you're all impressive as a healer now maybe your name can actually carry some weight, haha.

As to the castle, I'm actually going to be relieved to get out of here. As dangerous as the outside world can be, I'm also not too happy with being confined in a (rather large, I know) castle with some dangerous people. We've had a couple attacks on muggleborns and I'm ready to get going.
