LYSANDER SCAMANDER.

“yes..one day..” she hadn’t put a time limit on the idea, that was a crazy idea to say you would do it in a year or so. a small smile settled on her lips as she heard what lysander was saying. a spontaneous thought and idea, but it almost made her giddy at the thought of not being stuck with her family for the summer. yes, she loved them d e a r l y, but they just were chaotic in a bad way.”i may take you UP on that offer. but..but we would need to check on what our parents say first.”

wispchaser || Delphi and Lysander 

“you are confusing the spells.” the Slytherin’s stern torn is everything one would expect of a witch raised by a Malfoy. Still, Delphi wanted to make sure both of them got a high mark, as they would also give points for those who excel at working with teams. 

“According to the professor,  the Imperio Curse is the one that allows you total control over your partner and the Crucio curse is that inflict pain on the victim.” Her eyes shot up as if recalling reading it on a book somewhere. She has no idea why they were reading about the curses, but apparently, the school preferred their students knowing about this things that be left in the dark as the Ministry had hoped it would during the rise of Voldemort. 

“And we all know what the Killing Curse does.” Green eyes look at Lysander with a sigh escaping her lips, hand closing the book before hand. “Surely there are other spells we should learn. The war is over, isn’t it? Why learn about this type of thing?”

                 ‘  oh.  ‘   was all he let out. but he trusted her: she was in a higher                  year than him with more experience. he traced a finger over the                   words in the book, as he listened to her explanations. Lysander’s                  brows arched upwards; distressed for imaginary people going                   through imaginary pain.   ‘  that sounds horrible...  ‘   he paused.                   ‘  which one do you think is worse?  ‘   pain turned to musing.                   ‘  pain is pain... but having somebody take your mind? i think that                   would be the worst of all...  your mind is the one thing you know                  is yours. even if it doesn’t work so well...  or, that’s what people say                  about mine.  ‘

                 he placed a palm flat against the book, which rested on crossed                   legs where he sat with her in a hollow window seat in the library.                   ‘  the professor said there will always be people willing to use                   spells like this. it doesn’t have to be war time. i think it’s good to                  things  ------  even things that make you uncomfortable. especailly                  those things.  ‘   he paused.   ‘  maybe we’re going to learn                   counter curses... there has to be a way to stop them, doesn’t there?                  ---  has your class learned anything like that yet?  ‘

❛I could TRY but not being sober could put a damper on things.❜

The professor exhaled a soft breath and gently laid down his quill. How could put into words of what he was feeling. He was indeed happy; now, in the present but it wasn’t always that way. 

Professor Longbottom stood up and strolled over to the large bay window to gaze out over the greenery. A smile –albeit a tired one, appeared on his face. “I suppose you’re right.” He turned back to gaze at his student. 

“Sometimes, I do feel a little sad; but not because of how things are, but how things were.” He paused to gauge the boy’s reaction. He waved a hand before returning to his desk. 

“Let’s not dwell on it, though. Is there anything else I can help you with?” 

                  Lysander’s eyes closed, finding the floor a moment. he didn’t                   recognize that feeling  ------  of feeling sad for the past. most,                   if not all, of his memories were happy ones.   ‘  sometimes, I                   miss the past. but i’ve never felt sad about it.  ‘   was he lucky?                   maybe. he didn’t have to feel sad because of the things that                    Neville and the others did. they were all lucky.   ‘  it’s okay to be                   sad, isn’t it? I think.          it can’t touch you now.  ‘   he smiled,                   ‘  but i’m glad you’re happy now, Professor.  ‘

                  slowly, he walked forward and put down a book on the table.                    ‘  i’ve finished my homework,  ‘   three days early!  but that was                   usual for Herbology. it was one of his favorite subjects, and he                   could be a bit of a know-it-all in class. he didn’t mean it. he                    liked to gush.   ------  and he didn’t have many friends, so doing                   herbology homework was always at the top of his list. 

MOANA SENTENCE STARTERS. | @singlesighted.

ASK ME ABOUT MY OC.

6: What is your OC’s family situation? Do they get along? Do they fight? Or are they alone?

                    Lysander is super close to his family. he spent most of his childhood                    travelling with his parents and his twin brother, and as such, he had                    few long-term friends apart from his family & their creatures. he is so                    very dependent on his brother, I can see Lorcan helping him with a                     lot of things Lysander has trouble with  ---  like keeping focus, basic                    practical every-day things. his parents never fight, and they fostered                     an atmosphere of always being honest & not being afraid to be                     yourself. extended family gatherings are a bit awkward; as the                     Scamanders are fairly open, but Xenophilius found it hard to blend                    and spend time around so many people. i can see him & Lorcan                     being the only members of his family that disagree or even ‘fight’. but                    i’d need a Lorcan to discuss headcanons with. 

11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?

                    Lysander actually doesn’t like to escape the world. you’d think he was a                    dreamer, but... he loves the world. he rarely get’s distracted by dreams                    or wants to hide away. it’s about something he’s watching, something                    practical. though when he got to Hogwarts, he does have a good few                    years of hiding away alone. he likes to go to the third-floor bathroom &                    talk to Myrtle, or go to the Lake. he’s also been known to wonder into                    the Forbidden Forest, which, has got him a good few detentions. 

16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?

                    he values intelligence and an open mind, new ways of thinking that he                    wouldn’t have thought of. he also values kindness and anything... new.                    something he wouldn’t have seen before, y’know? he also appreciates                    a good storyteller. he will sit and listen to you for hours! 

THE THREE NAME GAME. / @albusseveruspctter, @weasleyissm, @lilypadpotter.

WATCH PORN WITH: Lily. ‘cause she’d probably make it fun, and they could both just squint and ?? and giggle at it. 

HUNT: Lucy. I don’t know if this means hunt together or, hunt like… hunt her down. xD he’d hunt her down to take her away on adventures. & if together, he could show her all kinds of creatures.
