“Sorry, no visitors allowed.” The towering bodyguard grunted as he stepped in front of the woman who looked to be seeking an audience with the Hex Girls. “Move along now. No unauthorized personnel permitted backstage.” However, just as he was about to usher the woman back the way she came, the band’s lead singer glanced over her shoulder just in time to spot a very familiar face.

“Velma?”

Heels clicked on the floor as Thorn ducked beneath the bodyguard’s arm to step between him and her old friend. “It is you! Hey, Mikey, back off. This is a friend of ours.” With only a blink of confusion that was soon replaced with understanding, Mikey retreated a few steps, allowing the two women their space. Thorn immediately embraced the other, her dark red lips widening into a grin.

“It’s so good to see you! How’ve you been?” If Velma was here, then didn’t that mean the rest of the gang were? Thorn anticipated the enthusiastic call of Shaggy and the equally excitable tone of Scooby-Doo. She leaned back — hands still on Velma’s shoulders — to look the other over.

“   i  didn’t  think  of  it  like  that.   ”     a  moment  to  ponder,    to  digest  that  statement.      how  true  it  was  without  woman  ever  having  a  way  to  put  it  into  words.     “   i  don’t  exactly  have  the  best  track  record  when  it  comes  to  being  left  with  love  and  nowhere  to  put  it.     i  just  never  thought  about  it  that  way  before.   ”

Theo's Super Depressing Playlist Meme !!! ( shuffled!! - Bittersweet/Greer )

Theo Nott, might just be unlucky, one of those people that life seems to treat a little harsher for no conceivable reason. That thought kept him up more often than not. Maybe that was why he couldn't find it in himself to get a goodnights of sleep, always teetering between four hours on the Slytherin's common room sofa that was growing too small for his ever-growing body, and a night of tossing and turning in a dorm room that reminded him too much of a bedroom he never wanted to return to in Nott Manor. Somedays, Theo did wish that he had taken the rejection from his father and had just been sorted into Ravenclaw.

It would make meetings like this much easier to justify.

Luna Lovegood was an angel, not that Theo believed himself to be a very religious man. If he was, maybe he would believe that Luna's sole purpose was to be an angel among men. As of right now, he had no real excuse to be doing this, standing in the Forbidden Forrest and watching over the thestrals. But she was one of the few that could see them, like he could. And he enjoyed that comfort.

REMUS  GRABBED  TEDDY  ,  LIFTING  HIM  UP  UNDER  HIS  ELBOWS  &&  BALANCING  THE  TODDLER  ON  HIS  HIP  ,  pulling  out  his  wand  &&  giving  it  a  swift  flick  of  his  wand  before  then  glancing  backwards  at  molly  ,  a  small  tired  smile  across  his  face  .  SOMETIMES  ,  just  sometimes  he  missed  the  baby  stage  .  people  said  that  it  would  be  the  hardest  with  teddy  .  but  in  reality  ,  the  baby  stage  was  a  dream  compared  to  his  son  getting  his  sticky  fingers  in  everything  .  as  the  items  on  the  floor  cleared  itself  up  .  remus  gave  a  soft  sigh  .  “  he’s  something  else  ,  aren’t  you  kiddo  ?  ”  remus  glanced  at  his  son  for  a  moment  then  cleared  his  throat  ,  before  then  MOVING  around  the  sitting  room  ,  feeling  a  little  caught  unawares  ,  a  little  all  over  the  place  .  dora  was  sleeping  soundly  upstairs  .  a  midnight  raid  with  the  ministry  had  meant  she  had  gotten  home  at  about  8am  this  morning  ,  a  few  hours  after  teddy  had  woken  remus  up  &&  had  STALKED  straight  to  bed  .

“  molly  ,  how  on  earth  did  you  deal  with  several  children  this  age  ?  ”  he  asked  defeated  ,  sitting  down  &&  holding  his  son  close  ,  giving  him  SOMETHING  to  play  with  ,  whilst  he  looked  despairingly  over  towards  the  mother  weasley  .  “  i  mean  -----  i  only  have  one  ,  &&  i  feel  like  i’m  going  mad  .  like  i’m  not  doing  ANYTHING  right  by  him  ,  ”

Most students didn’t skip dinner. Left early? Sure. Arrived late? All the time! But with the majority of students on that side of the castle, it was easier for Desiree to meet Regulus Black and not have to check over their shoulders all the time.

This friendship is stressful, she thought, but that wasn’t really a complaint. Just a fact. Still, this little meet-up was going to be brief -- she just needed to give him the book he’d accidentally left at the lakeside the other day. She peeked at the parchment slipping out of her notebook, which bore the notes exchange they’d been sending earlier through their enchanted quills.

You left your arithmacy book! Will you survive without it?

No, I won’t. Thanks for grabbing it. Want to meet me tonight to hand it off?

Yeah. What time?

Library at 6PM. Historical section.

OK! See you then. 

He should’ve been here by now. Maybe the other Slytherins were giving him a hard time getting away from the table? Or maybe Filch had caught him. Desiree frowned and held the textbook a little tighter to her. 

I’ll give it five more minutes. She was kind of hungry for dinner, after all. Then I’ll just leave it here, and he can come get it later. That sounded reasonable! Reg would understand.
