knox understandingly when the other clarified. she glanced at the locket and hummed, "yes, that is pretty. obviously cursed--possibly less subtle than poison but pretty nonetheless." she tucked her hands behind her back, with a thoughtful expression on her face. "i would gift it to someone than keep it for myself. but that's just me i suppose." maybe it was a little mean, maybe a little cruel, knox didn't care to acknowledge it.

“if you’re looking for some poison, i guarantee this place won’t give you the best kind. believe me, i tried.” knox hummed quietly to the person next to her while she had been eyeing a particular-looking antique through a store window. it was a skeleton hand, of course. nothing to out of the ordinary for this alley. “and no, i’m not promoting my business—there’s honestly way better poisons out there than what knockturn has to offer—well at least the illegal kind that doesn’t get shut down by a bunch of aurors.”

"to be honest with you?" knox hummed while looking around the great hall herself for the sixth time that evening. she crossed her arms, "i think whoever planned this event might be going for an interhouse theme here. hence the unmarked tables." knox herself didn't much care for the idea nor did she much care for sitting with her own house from time to time. but she remembered a teacher tried pushing it back in school and she absolutely hated the idea. seems as if nothing's changed. "i could be wrong--though there's been little shown to prove me wrong so far."

𝙻𝙾𝙲𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽:  the great hall, hogwarts   !

"excuse me," and before she - or anyone else, for that matter - can take another step into the familiar great hall, she reaches out to touch their elbow and bring them to a stop. it's an attention drawing movement that screams pulling aside a member of staff over starting a catch up conversation with a one time peer, and the friendly smile that pansy turns onto them is equal parts dazzling and false. her other hand motions towards the dozens of tables and chairs which have been arranged around the room in place of the four house tables, and there is somethig... careful to the cluelessness with which she asks, "perhaps you might be able to direct me towards the slytherin area of this little soiree... ? i'm a tad confused on the... boundaries, here."

"hands on? mmm," knox gave a small pout but shrugged. "suit yourself but poison's much more delicate in my opinion." she watched with little intrigue as the other examined the options on display. "i wouldn't find it here though. as much as knockturn loves to advertise itself as being quite deadly, i think you'll find better options in other places."

“hmm, good. nobody likes a rat.” knox nodded as she leaned back in her seat with a thoughtful frown. “although, if you did see the jinxed broom, could you mind returning it to me? i have to sweep the shop at some point.”

location: leaky cauldron, diagon alley

status: open

“if i told you i accidently jinxed a broom and now it’s wreaking havoc on london, would you report me to the ministry?” knox asked. although the question itself was concerning, the subject didn’t quite match the witch’s face. instead she wore a thoughtful expression at the other who had taken a seat next to her at the bar. she’d actually come here to get a drink to go, but after her little incident before arriving, her mind was buzzing and far too distracted to worry about whatever business she had been thinking about prior to this. “if yes, then i’m afraid i’m going to have to obliviate this entire conversation. or maybe frame you. whichever you prefer.”

“why not? s’not like this party has much to offer anyway.” knox mumbled, leaning back against a pillar as she took a glass cup from a passing waiter. these galas were always quite boring to knox, even when she was younger and had to attend. none of it had changed much. it’s a wonder she was even invited back in the first place. knox knew she wasn’t much in good standing with some people at the ministry. had to be pure sheer luck by now. “i was dragged into a ridiculously boring conversation where they used but um a lot. perhaps i should take my first couple of swigs.”

“i’d be pretty dull if i wasn’t so boastful. therefore this shop would be positively dull and no one would be coming back just to talk to the charming shopkeeper.” knox shrugged with a lazy smirk. it was always good fun to have these particular chats with pansy parkinson. with her, knox didn’t mind the snark—especially when she could easily bite back. it had always been that way between the two, as far as knox could remember. “that’s a shame, there’s a nice lamp sitting out front of a shop next to mine. could really liven up your place. but you have come to the right place—the best plant place in all of diagon alley. we can start with the more vibrant and lively plants i have here.”

knox smirked, “relax, we won’t have to duel today.” although she’s sure that perhaps her and parkinson might tie, depends on how rusty the other’s duel skills are. even then, knox didn’t feel like dealing with jinxes or curses hitting her face. today she needed her moneymaker in order to stay in business. “google can try but it’s not knox bellamy--brighten up your study? may i suggest a lamp? a candle maybe?”

"i'm glad to hear it," she replies - snarky as ever, of course, though knox tends to get away with so much more than other people and PROBABLY knows it. "nobody likes an overly boastful shopkeep, bellamy," even her words of warning land without punch, her focus divided between the other & one of the nearest potted plants, a leaf from which she pinches between finger and thumb, "very funny. if it were actual lights i were looking for i'd have spared us both this trouble. i'm afraid foliage is the only option."

“is that really a threat?” pansy asks, more conversational than the topic perhaps deserves, “i feel as if the rise of google has made that true of most people.” of course, knox knows her stuff better than most people. pansy can usually admit THAT much, even if it is with difficulty, but far be it for her to allow her sometimes friend this particular moment. “i’m not sure. truthfully, i want something… easy. something to brighten up my study without me having to expend much energy.”

“well this nerd could poison you with any plant of her choosing.” knox retorted halfheartedly. she then looked to the other with a quirked brow after setting aside a potted plant. earlier she had a bit of an accident with the dancing roses getting loose around her shop. good thing no customers had decided to come in or else her day would’ve been more hellish than now. “so what oddly specific plant do you need from me today?”

💬🤞🖤🔷️ <3

💬 - for my muse to directly say a secret or confession

"i'm secretly a ghost." knox gave a small wink before rolling her eyes. "kidding. now if i revealed a secret, it wouldn't be much of a secret, now would it? i like being mysterious actually."

🤞- what’s the most impulsive thing you can picture your muse doing

literally cursing someone. on purpose or accident? depends on her mood that day.

🔷️ - is your muse good or bad at lying?

literally the queen of lying. how do you think she won all those bets? fairly? lol, loser.

[kxbellem]

⚪, 💢, 👻, 👀 !

⚪ what are small things that mean something to your muse

taking care of her plants without her having to tell you. knox doesn't ask for much but it's nice that someone is considerate of her, even if she refuses their help. she's shy about it and not much use to it.

💢 mannerisms that your muse has when they’re angry or sad

knox gets extremely quiet whenever she is angry. when she is sad, she adds to her usual sarcasm. making jokes at inappropriate times and seeming indifferent almost

👻 - recall one or more times your muse has been the most scared or fearful

answered!

👀 - is your muse prone to jealousy?

answered!

#nox.memenight

[kxbellem]

👀 & 🎭

👀 - is your muse prone to jealousy?

not necessarily. to be jealous, knox has to have little confidence in her skills—which she certainly lacks. so no, she not prone to jealousy.

🎭 - does your muse try really hard to compensate for something?

already answered!

#nox.memenight

[kxbellem]

👍, 🏹 & 🤝

👍 - what are your muse’s good traits?

knox’s good traits can often be overshadowed by how blunt and severe she is. but some of those traits that are protected fiercely by her will slip up. you’ll notice it if you pay close attention. although she wouldn’t consider any trait good—perhaps useful—but she was content with who she was. knox can be laid back or levelheaded—able to make correct calls without panicking. observant to the point where it’s a little overbearing to her and everyone else around her. attentive, as much as she is self-interested, she can be somewhat considerate to those she respects and or cares for.

🏹 - would your muse ever kill and why

yes. there’s really no complicated explanation or answer to this.

🤝 - is your muse a people pleaser?

no. in fact she makes it a point to let you know that she has no interest in pleasing you for the sake of being liked.

#nox.memenight

[kxbellem]

☠️ , 👻 , ❌, 🎭

☠️ - does your muse fear death?

it honestly depends on the situation. when she was on the run during her later teenage years, yes, knox had a healthy fear of death back then. but in general? knox doesn't find herself thinking about it unless death comes to her face to face.

👻 - recall one or more times your muse has been the most scared or fearful

her duel with her cousin, pollux stark. even though she was mostly winning--and could've won for the matter--there was still the question of if she would make it out of it. especially when the stark family wasn't afraid of using dark spells while knox had always been quite reluctant. if she did not succumb to using the same spells, she probably would've lost. once more nearly coming face to face with death. that was one of the only times she had truly been afraid.

❌ - what would cause your muse to be petty or say something hurtful

if someone were to maliciously attack her character or her mother's. otherwise knox doesn't anger quickly and doesn't always resort to pettiness unless she absolutely has to. and when she does, it's sharp and ruthless. more severe than the other.

🎭 - does your muse try really hard to compensate for something?

not really. knox is pretty secure with herself so she doesn't find the need to compensate for anything. at least in her opinion.

 ⏰ + her father

heathcliff bellamy was always a particular baker.

knox would often be at his bakery before her time at hogwarts and watch him at work. unlike thalia, heathcliff wasn’t much for being at the front and interacting with the customers—he had hired someone for that—and instead kept to the back and made his pastries and cakes. whenever he wasn’t feeling too particular, he’d have knox help him with one of his cakes. so of course, little knox would take the opportunity to try and eat some of the ingredients whenever he wasn’t looking. one time she stuffed a whole bowl of chocolate chips in her mouth while his back was turned.

“knox.” heathcliff said knowingly when he saw the empty bowl. knox thought she was being so subtle and clever hiding her puffed up cheeks behind her father’s winter scarf. heathcliff was obviously trying not to laugh. “do you know where the chocolate chips went?”

knox shook her head, “mmph!”

fortunately, he had an extra bag of chocolate chips left. and knox ended up with a stomach ache.

even the memory spell wouldn't take that one moment away from her

#nox.memenight #i've finally given her pops a name hehe
