Scorpius had never played a game of Qudditch as hard as he has the last match of the year against Gryffindor. Having slept an entire night and then awakening in the morning to the same feelings he'd gone to bed with, he had to pour his frustration and hurt into something. And Quidditch had been it.

He comes in through the door to Milliways with Red following close at his heels. He's still wearing his game robes and gear, which he deposits on a couch before lifting the thin shirt he had on underneath. Just high enough to see the starting of a bruise from where a Bludger had grazed his side.

He pokes at it, and looks at Red, who happens to be staring back at him.

"I know," he says, taking a deep breath. "I should've - I should have kept to the sides. As I normally do."

But, he played. He put his heart into the game.

(The Ravenclaw Captain had even remarked on his playing, congratulating him with wide-eyes and saying he had no idea Scorpius had it in him. Maybe the scouts will be looking at him next year, he'd said.

Scorpius should be ecstatic at the compliments.


He's not.)

And now he's got a bruise.

Millitimed to the 21rst - Birthday Post

The idea of sticking candles in things other than cake wasn't commonplace in Annabelle's day. That might be why her first thought when Bar gives her a small stack of pancakes with 30 lit candles shoved in it isn't 'Oh, it must be my birthday', but 'Why is my breakfast on fire?'


When she realizes what it's for, she laughs. "Well, I wasn't expecting that!"

Annie's been in the bar for a day now.

She sits in the corner, bruised knees drawn up to her chin, with a steaming mug of cocoa.

If you're looking for these things, though, you can see she's not relaxed: the tightness in her shoulders, the tense mouth -

- and of course, the way she keeps looking apprehensively at the door.
                 (There are scary things on the other side.)

Never get involved with a land war in Asia.

Never cross a Sicilian when death is on the line.

And never assume that you're finally safe, because the moment you do, fate is going to remind you just how fucked you are. And it's going to be painful.]
