What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

“A rubber duck? Strange….. it appears you’ve found one of the rare subjects of which I’m not expertly acquainted. Perhaps it will be the center of my next page-turner! Reveling with Rubber Ducks sounds like a promising title if I’ve ever heard one.”

Name

Ezra Alexander Bones-Rosier

Gender

Male

General Appearance

Bored glances, a pen behind his ears, Italian loafers, and the scent of fresh parchment. As expected, Ezra was a stunner. Unlike his mother, he gravitates towards neutral colors. He despises pastels, believing bright shades are only suitable for toddlers.  Never seen without his signature obsidian ring or perfectly styled hair, it’s clear Ezra is a sharp dresser. Though he has a weird habit of refusing to wear the same designer/label as his father. 

Personality

First thing to know about Ezra is that he’s calculating. Each move he made, each word spoken, and even his outfits are intentional. He’s planner, rarely leaving anything to chance. Maybe it’s because of his trust issues or maybe it’s because of his pride that he (unfortunately) inherited from both of his parents. Like his parents, he has ambition and drive though his aspirations are rather apolitical. In Ezra’s eyes, the Ministry is useless no matter how much his mother lectures him on politics. Unfortunately, he’s just as stubborn as her. Instead, he dreams of becoming an architect in the wizarding world. Fascinated by the theory of magic and space, he envisions revitalizing the drab section of Diagon Alley. Unlike the Ministry, Ezra was going to get shit done. Much to his parents’ chagrin, Ezra lacked tact making him rather notorious in the Pureblood community. Not that he cared what a bunch of stuck up brats thought of him. A tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep. That goes for Halfbloods and Muggleborns too. Ezra doesn’t discriminate. 

Special Talents

He’s a better Qudditch player than both of his parents, a feat that he loved reminding them. Too bad, he’s not much of a team player.

 Ezra is also good with plants. Tending his plants served as a stress reliever and gave him inspiration for designs.

During his Hogwart years, he dabbled in fashion design mainly out of experimentation with automation charms. He charmed his ring to alert him when someone is lying to him though. Again, trust issues.

Who they like better

Neither, he doesn’t play favorites. Their egos are large enough. 

Who they take after more

The nerd inherited both the best and worst traits of his parents. Let’s all pray for the wizarding world. 

Personal Headcanon

He has been named in Witch Weekly’s Top Ten Most Eligible Bachelors six years in a row. Never number one, a fact that greatly pissed him off. Not saying he plays up his aloof facade to win first place one day, but not denying it.

He owns three cats, all Egyptian Mau. Their collars most likely costed more than your entire year salary. Some would say his cats are his true friends.

As a child, he always dreaded attending Ministry events so he turned to extreme means to miss them. Once, he ran away to Spain.

He’s actually an excellent gift-giver. Ezra’s the type of person to take time into finding the perfect, personalized gift.

send yellow for some headcanons about our muses.

their first meeting happened by complete accident. she was leading her weekly study group with fellow hufflepuffs in the hogwarts library and he was busy studying for a charms exam. all it took was amelia to make a side comment correcting him on charms theory for the fuse to light. when they saw each other on the qudditch field, things were known to quickly escalate. 

each year, amelia has an entire argument prepared for why evan rosier shouldn’t be one of witch weekly’s most eligible bachelors. for each reason they listed, she had an entire argument disproving their claim. she dreads the september issue of witch weekly, because small talk in the office becomes centered on one of the biggest thorns in her side. all amelia wants is to get the ‘top ten best ways to hide dark circles’, not see a magazine cover of evan rosier winking at her. 

in the mind game they played, one of the unspoken rules was to never break eye contact. the issue with being as intelligent as amelia is that she never forget anything. she always been one to carve control, because success was more likely of an outcome when you’re prepared. yet, she never could explain what happened her fifth year. both her and evan were attending the birthday party for a pureblood heir, some self-indulgent pig from france. her dress was the only fond memory she had of the night. although amelia denies it, there was a moment when her breath was caught in her throat because of her usual stare downs with evan rosier. 

[modern au] amelia bones, one of the ten recipients to be accepted for the prestigious (and exclusive), slughorn fellows program. evan rosier, second year and member of the exclusive board of the slughorn fellows program. only natural for them to be paired together when amelia does her campus tour. atlas, due to a combination of horrendous first impressions and fragile egos, amelia declined to attend the university and chose to attend a rival university. of course, amelia would never tell her parents the true reason why she declined the offer. there was nothing mature about wanting to run evan rosier into the ground, but the first place trophy looked perfect on her bookshelf. 

send red for an honesty post on what my muse dislikes/hates about yours.

it should be natural for amelia to respect someone who could keep up with, but all evan rosier does is frustrate her. despite the composed and down-to-earth reputation she created for herself, she hates how easy it is for evan to get under her skin. she had gone head to head to with actual serial killers before and kept her cool, but something about evan rosier sends all of her nerves on edge. in short, she hates him for the effect he has on her.

contrary to evan’s belief, amelia saw the ministry for what it was. underneath all of its protocols and laws, she saw a system that existed and mutated itself into benefiting the privileged members of wizarding society. the foundations of the their government were slowly crumbling on itself as she learned from the in depth conversations she had with her parents. hufflepuff was built on dedication and fairness, each promotion at the ministry was a result of her hardwork. abolishing an entire system was too radical. twisting its arms with its own laws? easily done for her. hence why nothing infuriates her more than seeing evan rosier play the exact same game as her, only he’s doing it out of self-interest. saving family friends and housemates went against the set of beliefs she held for herself. 

At a loss, Kingsley draws back from the door. But the temptation is too strong. It has been a long time since he has spoken to Evan in anything but a professional capacity. Their arguments in the library are so long ago that they might as well have been different people. Certainly, they had both left Hogwarts with the mutual understanding that they would never speak to each other with anything approaching openness again. Even now, the half-buried rancor of seventh year weighs on him. He replays their small-talk from the last few months, but finds no clue on what has changed. Instead, he finds the ghosts of their last conversation at Hogwarts in every image of the Zabini Estate that has been seared into his memories.

❝ that would be very noble — but i can’t be that man. ❞

“Don’t belittle yourself. You’re more than that.” The words are sharper and faster than he intends, but it is too late to take them back now. All Kingsley can do is stand by them. Something snapped in Evan over the past few days, and it distorted all of their discussions with malice. The days where they argued over the dates of the Goblin Wars and their victors are not long past, but they are gone. Evan is inscrutable in the best of times, but he’d never been spiteful. It must be his father, Kingsley thinks again, wondering at how tragedy can teach one to inflict pain rather than to be kind. The prefect badge sits heavily on his robes. 

He’s aware that he isn’t one to speak to loss. His family, though often overseas, is intact. They saw the uprisings of the 1960s come and go. All that remains is an impression of fear that pales in comparison to death. So he’ll speak of choices instead. That much, Kingsley knows. At eleven, when the Sorting Hat asked him to choose between his ambitions and his curiosity, Kingsley found that the world he saw in his dreams was worth more than any book. And he’s seen, firsthand, his father’s dedication to his siblings. Kingsley knows what it is to give up one’s career to raise a family. 

But the words refuse to come. He is left looking at Evan intently, and they are all of sixteen and seventeen, as if the power of his gaze will be enough to convey all these unspoken hopes. 

❝ is it satisfaction you want? ❞

“No.” Kingsley’s eyes flash. It’s already too far for Evan to assume that Kingsley will take his snide comments in stride. In society, it is different, he wants to tell Evan. In society, he would reply with the expected grace of an heir. But they are among housemates (friends) here, and Kingsley’s patience has been worn thin. Beneath his anger is a hunch that Evan needs more time to adjust. But there are only so many excuses to make for unkindness. 

2. a song that describes them?

alone by halsey. 

15. what is their vice? (wrath, greed, pride, lust, gluttony, sloth, envy)

envy. definitely. daisy is one of those quietly jealous people that bottles up her envy and jealousy - keeping a mental list of every moment that she felt envious or like she didn’t measure up in some way - until she explodes. usually it’s an explosion of self loathing and feeling like she’ll never be enough rather than anger and violence. occasionally, though, daisy can hold a grudge.

18. when was their first real relationship? how’d it go?

daisy dated throughout her time at hogwarts, though none of those significant others were too serious. it wasn’t until after she left hogwarts and started travelling that daisy really started dating. 

fairly early on in her travels, daisy backpacked through germany and found her way to kempton and, since her german wasn’t great, someone to help her with the language barrier. his name was jonas and he ended up being a tour guide of sorts while she was there and their relationship just sort of…happened. they burned hot and bright for the few weeks daisy was in town before she left. it was abrupt and fairly emotionless - no tears or sappy goodbye speeches. they’d both known it was coming, though daisy’d noticed jonas had been dropping hints that he wouldn’t mind if she stayed the last few days she was there, and that made things easier. all in all, it was a pretty positive experience despite the lack of closure to their relationship.

2. A song that describes them?

Primadonna by Marina and the Diamonds. I actually don’t know, I’m really bad at the whole music thing. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know because I’m dying to make a Glittery Poptart playlist!

14. Greatest fear(s)?

Death and dying. Scratch that — growing old. He dreads the days where his perfect hair turns gray and ashen, his soft skin wrinkled and spotted with a life well-lived. There are only so many potions and elixirs that can prolong the inevitable, and his own vanity might wind up getting in the way of him fully embracing his years. If he were to summon a bogart, he would find his own reflection at age 85. Honestly, Bellatrix, do us all a favor and murder him while he’s still young and pretty.

19. Have they ever broken someones heart? Has someone broken theirs?

If so, he hasn’t realized it yet. Gilderoy has definitely gilted an ex-lover at least once. He genuinely believes he’s played no part in the downfall of his previous relationships — how could he? He’s perfect in every way. Anyway, wanted connection alert!

11. biggest lie?

(answered here)

12. biggest flaw?

There are so many flaws.  Severus is stubborn, arrogant, rude and at times rather crass.  Yet the biggest flaw for Severus is his inability to admit when they’re wrong.  It’s something that they’ve never been able to do.  

13. best accomplishment?

Up to this point it probably would have been the spells and potions that they’ve managed to create on their own.  They aren’t anything that were just other spells perfected.  These are the spells and potions that Severus has made on their own.  Some of them haven’t been used by anyone other than them and that’s completely fine.
