                pink stains her lips as they rub together, the scent and taste of bubblegum suddenly overwhelming her senses. ( she doesn’t know why she’s nervous. quinn bought her this metro pass for a reason -- to use it. surely a visit isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility, right? maybe a little unexpected, especially considering the lack of heads up from rachel’s end, but... still. )

@gcldenhearted​  :  “ my reputation’s never been worse.”  /  blair ( x. )

stood before the brooklyn boy was a ravenette,  ----   the socialite of the city that never sleeps in all of her 5′5 glory and intimidation.   ( mostly intimidation. )   beneath the poisonous exterior dan knew to be a girl far more fragile than she would ever lead on.  typical blair,  heightened by ridiculous-sized stilettos ;  of course her reputation would be the hang up that ravages her mind.  quite frankly, he didn’t give a damn about appearances, nor could he ever understand her personal peril.  she constantly reeked of blind privilege and Chanel No. 5.  despite differing opinions and upturned noses,  he didn’t hate her.  as much as she embodies his antithesis, accompanied by a deep-cut loathing of the new york elite,  dan couldn’t bring himself to hate her.  and maybe she knew that. 

Lucius knew, had always known that his wife had been the STRONGEST out of the pair of them, the strongest witch he knew, in fact. She was what held their family together, and lord knows that he was lucky that he had her. UNDESERVING of her resilience when it came to sticking by him as he ventured down dark path after dark path. He knew she likely never would have wanted Draco to end up following him down those paths either, but that is what had happened while he had been in Azkaban, and she’d remained strong for him too.

Truth be told, though he was glad to be out of Azkaban, the situation that they had found themselves in now, in their own home? It filled him with FEAR. Fear that one wrong move and The Dark Lord who was now under their roof would punish them. And though his wife was skilled at keeping a brave face, he had no doubt that things were starting to weigh her down too.

he doesn’t want to be here much. ever since he went to hogwarts, these birthday parties have always felt less like parties and more like events to show their heir off. the times celebrating at hogwarts, those feel like real parties now. the things that james and peter describe after their birthdays with their families are parties. 

he’s always been comfortable in dress robes, but right now he feels like a prize to be shown. itchy. strange.

                   star’s hollow was getting ready for halloween. they always took things to the next level, hoarding decorations and forcing others to celebrate, even when they didn’t want to. luke, he wasn’t really a holiday guy. that’s not to say he didn’t appreciate the traditions, nor did he necessarily want to ruin anyone’s fun. he just thought he should be able to sit out of their festivities, if he wanted to. and he wanted to. but no. every season, luke is forced to participate, and every season, he complains about it. that, in of itself, is another holiday tradition.
