Misery [T. Higgs] ✔

jeepers creepers

Helena had successfully managed to combine both her studying and her wifey mood into her already busy schedule of Quidditch and lessons. She was just happy and excited about her first ever date. With Terence non the less. Although those news made most of her friends and her brother crinkle their noses, not understanding what the girl saw in the three years older boy. But that wouldn't stop her. Neither could her dad, despite him begging her to not go on a date with a boy so she could be his little girl a while longer.

Therefore now she was standing outside Hogwarts. In a long sleeved green dress and nylon tights, creepers and gold jewelry. Her short curly hair she actually managed to put into some soft of hairstyle with the help of some bonny pins. Her dark red painted lips looked alluring. And her long lashes lovely, even when still hidden behind the glass of her spectacles. She pulls her black coat a bit tighter around herself. "Hey. Sorry. Had a little battle with my housemates." "Shit! Your face." She reaches out and gently tilts her dates face to see the bloody scratches on his cheek. Remembering her preschool time she leans over and kisses his cheek. And with the small unspoken charm the scratches immediately heal. He reaches up. "How?" "Strong magic and its benefits." He chuckles and takes her hand in his. "Let's go." They set in motion and walk towards the carriages, showing Filch their signed allowances for Hogsmeade and then take a seat in a random carriage that soon gets four more occupants. Her favorite twins, Percy and Oliver. She smiles at them and Terence playfully raises an eyebrow, still allowing her to hold his hand that rests in her lap. She gently takes a look at his knuckles to see them slightly bruised. Immediately she looks up to him. "Who did this to you?" "That twig of a girl.. Greengrass. Older one. She is in your year. And my dear best friend Flint.", he shrugs. "Do you want to talk about it?" "Its nothing. Really. When Snape came in and saw what was going on all hell broke loose and he send me here saying you are already waiting." Helena chuckles. "Yeah. We had a small conversation about this." "So you are gossiping about me with my house teacher... Good to know." "Hey! He gave it his approval." "Really?" Terence barks out a laugh, now no longer caring about the front of Gryffindors, staring him and his date down. They have faded into the background. "I heard rumors that he actually liked you but.. Its Snape. I didn't actually believe it." "We get along quite well. I think it is due to him liking my interest in potions. In the first lesson he was quite wary about me but by the time I had already completed my potion professionally and was asking him 300 questions at once about how and when and what he was really.. nice to me, I guess. Still don't get many house points from him. But I don't loose any when I raise my hand. So that's a plus." Terence chuckles and they both feel the carriage set in motion. "Where do you want to go first?", she asks. Her green eyes sparkling at him through the round golden frame glasses. "There is this tea shop with apparently excellent cakes and other treats. Sounds good?" "Jup. Let's do that." They exchange a smile.
Meanwhile their opposites watch with interest. But they have to admit. Helena and Terrence would make a nice couple.
"Can we go to Honeyduke's after that? I wanted to pick up something for my little brother and his friends." "Sure. Already the ever so caring big sister?" "I never stopped. I did dream visits every night." "Dream visits?" "Sibling and tight bonds in general allow for a person to, as they sleep, consciously invade the dream of another wizard to appear to them as a person they can communicate with to the extend the other person remembers them. Harry remembered me. Just not my voice. I visited him every night after running away. But his memories of me didn't last too well. Therefore I was mute when visiting him. My dad I can easily talk to. I give off daily reports to him. It is a form of legilimens. Basically I invade their minds and project an image of mine during the weak state of sleep. Only a person with strong occulumency could stop me from doing so.", Helena explains to him, as they finally jump off the carriage and lace their fingers together again. "Wow. Could you visit me too?" "I can try." They exchange a smile, then walk on towards the tea shop Terence was talking about.
The atmosphere is cozy. With only couples occupying the seats. Truly a nice place. They order and then take a seat.
"I've heard a lot about your levitation trick. But.. I've never seen you actually do it." Helena grins. "Want to see?" He nods. She holds her dress to her body as she lifts off of her chair, soon sitting on the ceiling, busy holding down her dress. "Here you are dearie...s. Where is your date? Did she leave you?" Terence, still speechless, points to to the ceiling. The woman's eyes follow only for her jaw to drop. "Hi." All the students are now staring at the calmly sitting girl. "Oh dear. Do you need help?" "No thank you. I can manage." With those words the girl simply floats down, soon sitting in her chair again. Her hair now a bit messier. "Now.. What was that?!" "It's just.. Me. I've done this all my life. I can walk on ceilings too. He wanted me to show him." The woman shakily nods and leaves, making the couple laugh. They indulge in their treats and lovely tasting tea, talking casually as they always do.
They just truly look like a couple.
