He had done a double take at the dash for a moment. The girl looked so similar to Lucy, her hair that same shade of blonde. Of course she looked nothing inherently like Lucy, the drive wasnt there, the fire. This girl was much more muted, she was a sea of white against a violently colored sky, blending in to the ordinary. She was remarkably plain if he were being honest. Marley, a name he had only heard with herding dogs had offered to show him around.

She didnt have much in the way of manners, didnt use titles, Nate made a mental note to speak with other professors here about her. If his suspicions were correct; she either did not know how to speak to a dominant or chose not to in order to be punished. Both required different approaches bit she could be broken all the same. Nate opened his last box of pictures. He placed them on the bookshelf by his desk, his most prized photo was of him and Lucy, arms wrapped around each other in front of his family ranch. He smiled, bittersweet pressure in his chest and he pulled his phone.

Nate: about your offer to show me around, I'll take you up on it. Consider this my cashed in raincheck. We can meet at the gardens in fifteen minutes. Don't be late

As a pirate on the Black Trident, Elias has faced all sorts of danger. Being a gunner was no easy task, there was a constant pressure on doing his job correctly or else he could blow a limb off, or even worse, destroy the entire ship and blast his crew mates into the oblivion. Despite all this danger, there was something he considered far more dangerous than gunpowder and smoke. That danger was in the form of a woman. A princess. Princess Wilhelmina of Germany, to be specific. The two had history. What seemed to be only a fling eventually transitioned into feelings Elias had manifested for the woman. She captivated him in a way no one else did which frightened him immensely.

Elias had never allowed himself to love any other woman ever since his wife passed but after twenty years, he longed for companionship and maybe even the possibility of love. Of course, he considered it plenty of times but constantly denied his feelings for Wilhelmina, trying to convince himself it was only ever a fling. She’s a princess after all and he was a pirate. But if it was only just a silly fling, why was it that he couldn’t stay away from her? Elias shook his head slightly, feeling a bit pathetic for being a grown man. He walked up to the room she was situated in before giving it a knock. “It’s me.”

Evelynn walked into Albus’s classroom with a small grin on her face. She always had loved the room. It had smelled of books and dust, a scent of home. Where she accompanied Albus most days,since he had started teaching at Hogwarts. There was enough books in there, to last a lifetime. Even Evelynn hadn’t read them all.

Lily’s head turned with ease as Severus’s hand moved it. Her green orbs wet by tears,that flowed down her face. However, a thin smile crossed her lips. Severus always was good with his words. He knew how to cheer her up,even in the darkest of days.The small girl laid her head onto his shoulder,

 “It doesn’t mean it hurts any less,Sev.”

“Self control?” The redhead laughed, at the blondes anger. Draco was so easy tempered. “If you had an ounce of self control you won’t be screaming at me.” The Slytherin girl chuckled.

“Have you lost weight?” Evelyn asked, her eyes widened as her finger slowly dragged down his spine. Gently, her finger circled back. “You’re always so thin.” Her voice, was small.

Magdalena turned her head over her shoulders to see the boy with the glasses. She turned his way,quickly, her dress flowing like a river around her thin legs. “James Potter, do my eyes deceive me? Or are you staring at me again” She smirked.
