I just finished reading A Christmas Carol and oh wow, I am still under its effect. It was such a power story even though it was such a short one. I loved it so much. I attached the book to the letter, thank you for letting me borrow it, it was definitely worth reading.

      Lily Evans.

                                                        W h o ?

     She wracked her brain, her silver-tinted eyes staring at the hard-edged name on the piece of parchment. 

       And when it dawned on her that the name she had chosen was the fiery Mudblood one year her junior, Bellatrix Black could not contain the subtlest hint of displeasure upon her demure expression.

       What on this godforsaken Earth was she thinking participating in such childish games? Secret Santa? Perhaps she had foolishly assumed that she would receive someone fun, like Emma or Alecto or hell, even Rodolphus. It would bring her untold pleasures to purchase one of them something, even if said something was a joke for her betrothed.

      But it was Lily Evans’ name that she had drawn. Quickly, her expression fixed and she headed immediately to Hogsmeade.

                                                  M u d b l o o d s . 

      They were all such simple-minded, delicate creatures. Like children, their minds were underdeveloped and pliable and they needed stimulation to work and grow and function. Although she detested the idea of spending hard-earned money on one of them, she knew precisely what she would get her. 

     A toy. The one she had chosen was, perhaps, the least expensive in the shop (no need to go overboard on someone who was unlikely to understand Wizarding money, besides). It was a horse that was enchanted to rock. It would be too small to hold the nearly full-grown woman (if she could call her that), but perhaps it would amuse her simple mind to watch it go all on its own.

      Frankly, she did not care. At all. She’d wrapped it in patterned, shiny paper and attached a note, though she was uncertain if there was any use in the latter. Bellatrix was uncertain of Mudbloods could read.

“Oh, I adore Lily. She’s one of my truest and closest friends. I admire her courage and her strength. She’s one of the strongest women I know, and true to herself, always. I miss her, I know it’s my fault, but we’ve grown a bit distant lately.”

- name: Cornelia Rose Snape- likes / dislikes: bruises, yelling, bad jokes, baking, the first snow / unfairness, fire, dirt under fingernails, stupidity, the smell of onions- first word: “Stop”- appearance: Her features are clearly her mother’s apart from the greasy hair, but her personality is so closely her father’s that sometimes it seems she’s a carbon copy.  She is more often seen frowning than smiling, her patience with others is short.  - which parent they look more like: Lily, but her expressions are 100% Severus- which parent they like more: Lily, mostly.  Sometimes she and Severus are too alike for their own good, however her favorite family member is Dom.  - height once fully grown: 5′2″- job ambition: Professor- faceclaim: Heo Jung Eun

She found her on one of the benches in front of the Transfiguration class and she flashed her friend a smile as she sat down next to her. “Hey, I haven’t seen you around in a while. How are you doing? I come bearing chocolate.”

🚼 - for a voicemail after my muse has taken a pregnancy test

[voicemail to Lecto <3]: Lecto, I am starting to question if this was a good idea if this is something we can handle. But there is no going back now. If you have doubts or not sure about this, put them all aside, because if you leave me alone with this I am going to hunt you down and kill you. Oh, yeah, if it wasn’t obvious, I made the pregnancy test today. It was positive.

It was really great cuddling last night without my crying into your arms. I wouldn’t mind doing that again sometime soon.
