Heaven in Hiding [H.P.] ✓

Head under water

Juniper looks up at the owl sitting calmly before her, a letter in its beak. Recognising the seal she smiles softly, opening the letter she rests her hand onto her palm.
At the last ball she had met a rather handsome boy from Bulgaria that she had taken a liking too. This was the letter he had promised her, finally and looking at the date on the letter. "Poor thing. Lost your way, Hu? The letter is almost two months old.", she hums, stroking the owls beak before feeding it and filling a goblet with water to let it drink, which the bird does, clearly happy about getting pampered after being lost for such a long time. "Let me write a letter back, okay? And I'll send Jinx, my own owl to accompany you back.. so you don't lose your way again.", Juniper mumbles, gently kissing the animals beak and earning an affectionate hoot back with it nipping at her nose, making her chuckle. "Pretty boy...", she snickers, summoning letter paper and an inkless quill, letting the owl hop up onto her shoulder and nip at her hair as if to make it more neat, while writing her answer letter.

"Do you guys know that owl?" "No. But it seems to like Winters. A lot."

"Little Frost!! Is that the letter that hunk from Bulgaria promised you?!" Bellatrix Black loudly asks, dropping down beside Juniper and immediately making most boys at the table snap around in a protective rage. "Who? Who is writing you?!", Lucius Malfoy asks, leaning down to the laughing witch. "Lucius?! What did I tell you about you poking your nose into my business, specifically into my dating business?!", she asks calmly, however the four Gryffindors still catch onto her words. "Who is it then?" Michael Monteague, without a doubt one of her best friends leans over her shoulder. She chuckles. "Fuck off, Michael."
Signing the letter she puts it into an envelope, sealing it shut using a bit of wax and her family ring, always on her hand. Just that moment her own owl flies down into the great hall, accepting a treat before taking the letter. "Alright, pretty boy. Always follow Jinx. Jinx? To Dima Krum. Durmstrang.", she hums, sending both owls flying. "A Durmstrang, Hm?" "They met on the annual ball organized by the Karkarov family. The one you boys refused to go to." "I can't leave you out of my sight for one evening without someone trying to put a ring on your finger..", Lucius Malfoy sighs, brushing back a strand of hair from the witches face. "I just told him I would like seeing him again this Christmas and agreed to come to the Durmstrang for their annual Christmas ball.", she tells her brother who sighs. "I should honestly intercept all your mail." Blowing him a kiss Juniper giggles, dodging the swat aimed at her.

The blonde jumps as she is dragged into a broom closet only to face Sirius Black. She releases a breath. "Salazar." Juniper drops against the wall, bringing her hand to her chest. "You're going to Durmstrang?" She glances up. "You damn near gave me a heartattack to ask me that?!" She runs her fingers through her hair. "Yes. I am. I need something to keep me from going mad and I've just happened to meet a rather sweet guy who asked me to be his date to the Durmstrang Yule ball they have annually. Just that every three years it's especially grand. And this is one of those years.", Juniper sighs, smiling lightly. "So.. you are getting engaged?" "No! Of course not. That will have to wait a while longer..", she scoffs, rolling her eyes. "Why are you asking me that..? Sirius?" He simply looks at her before leaving her standing in the broom chamber, hurrying away.
Confused she leaves as well, finally making her way to the common room.

"Did you choose a dress already, little Frost?" "As a matter of fact.. yes I have."

Letting Bellatrix and Narcissa distract her from whatever just had happened she drags them both into her and Cissa's dorm to show off the dress she had chosen. Spending time with them was precious to her. Even more so if she but thought about what was coming.
