Warning: Spoilers for the "Conjure a Patronus" and "Letter from Hogwarts" quests.
A/N: Damn, this took a long time for me to write for some reasons... Perhaps I have a difficult relationship with Merula, not knowing whether to love her or strangle her.
Prompts: I don't care what they say about me, loving you was really hard, I need somebody to hold me, and it's all for you from this
As little kids, people often thought about having their other half. Someone that was destined to be their one and only, decided by some higher power or whatever. Maybe the idea of someone being created just for them amazed them with the metaphysics of the whole system, or not having to seek love and fail over and over benefited them maybe.
Whatever the reason was, in a magical world like yours, it wasn't so unusual to hear such thing.
Most witches and wizards had their soulmate when they start the school, or work, since they spent most of their childhood and teenagehood in the school.
But you? No luck as of late.
It wasn't like you were actively seeking out to find whoever your soulmate was. All your focus was either on Quidditch, the Vaults and your brother, or...
The task given to you, right now.
There was already so much going on in your life, and you were just a teen, so many things that it made you often loose your appetite and just hang your head low while your head pounded.
Adding finding your soulmate and bringing whoever that person down with you into this shithole didn't seem fair to either one of you.
You just wanted... some peace of mind.
" What's that troubled look, Y/L/N? Spit it out."
You lifted your head to see Merula, your kind of enemy, looking at you with her usual snarky and mischievous eyes as a scoff left you. "Nothing, Merula. Why do you care?"
Merula smirked as she sat down in front of you, leaning the upper half of her body on the table as she looked at you with unreadable eyes.
At least for you.
If she wanted to be honest, Merula was in a very big dilemna. On one hand, you have been her enemy ever since you started school. She always bullied you and your friends, constantly duelled you only to be the one who was defeated... But none of them were what disturbed her, no.
It was the fact that they all made her left awestruck at your elegance, power and strength. And as if it wasn't enough, it also changed the beating of her heart too.
Soon, after she begrudginly accepted that "admiration" as the blonde Hufflepuff said, she had come to a frightening realization soon after you helped her with the whole Dementor case.
She couldn't lie to you, no matter how much she wanted or tried.
"You know how the saying that only those who are pure of heart can cast Patronuses?"
This was utterly so stupid and humiliating. At least for Merula. Her? The strongest witch admitting weakness? And as if it wasn't bad already, she couldn't lie to save her dignity?
To you, out of everyone?
Someone she bullied for as long as she could remember? Someone who probably hated her guts and might just do everything she did to them to her in return, and Merlin forbade it, much worse?
Yeah, that was the kind of luck she had.
You, a literal prodigy and the hero of Hogwarts, as her soulmate?
Fucking wild.
" I thought learning the Patronus Charm would let me prove that I'm not the same as my parents... But now that I'm close to achieving my goal, I'm not so sure if I want to know..." she continued and sighed out, relaxed a bit more now. She didn't lift her head to look at you or Tonks, she could already feel the shocked states you were giving her.
And suddenly, she felt like crying because one, you were her soulmate and two, she was being emotional in front of you and wanted you to hug her thightly.
And after the whole mess was over and she was looking at your expecting eyes, shining with a playfull beam, she considered to be... nicer to you, and get to know you better until she was ready to tell you that you were soulmates.
In her own special way.
"Thanks for saving me... both from the Dementor and from an answer I'm not ready for."
You gave her a soft, understanding smile. Hope for becoming friends blossoming in you for the first time.
"You are welcome, Merula.
Back to the present time, she looked at you shaken after you clicked your fingers before her eyes, worriedly looking at her since she never was this much silent. Because your sour expression is making me loose my appetite, that's why.... She wanted to say, snarky just like she normally was but instead...
" I saw that gloomy look on your face from across the hall and could tell you were wigging out about something..." was what left her mouth. It wasn't like her words wasn't sarcastic still, but considering the fact that she "hated" you, it was a shock to hear that the Merula Snyde was worried about you.
You eyed her curiously while gaping at her, completely surprised how she showed... care? Merula Snyde, the ever crude enemy of yours, being soft? Because of you?
You adjusted on your seat, shuffling a bit at your slightly faster heart. You couldn't lie that since the day you two met, she changed both physically and obviously, emotionally. She was much stronger than she was once, definetly had gotten taller and... more pretty.
At first, when you realized that she could be your potential soulmate, you flipped. Literally. Cursing at Merlin and the universe for suddenly throwing you in a clichรฉ "enemies to lovers" trope while the Vaults and your brother was still a huge problem. The girl literally tried to kill you many times, though it might have not been her intention really, and more often than not, looked down at you or what you did. She was always so against you and what you did so why?
Why did she have to be your soulmate?
Merula looked at you anxiously when your eyes hardened, feeling uneasy for the first time like ever. Every minute you spent not answering her and looking into her eyes directly, she got even more anxious and also curious about what was going on through your head.
But she was Merula, and she couldn't show... care and worry. "So? What is it this time? Is there a dragon on loose in the castle and you haven't been able to duel it yet?"
A snort left you at her question, though you didn't hold back from rolling your eyes at her. "Well... It's not like that, obviously. Though it would be fun to see it and have you fight it just to prove me." You smiled softly at her as she widened her eyes at the burning feeling on her cheeks, and looked down shyly. Your heart stopped for a second at the bashfull girl that was sitting in front of you and not the "enemy" you had been dealing with for the past years. Your cheeks flushed and you looked around to see if anyone was watching you two, because Merlin knew it was near impossible for you two to sit still peacefully.
"I just..." you sighed tiredly and leaned back on your seat, taking the sight of Merula, your soulmate, with a heavy heart as you recalled your memories, or at least... tried to.
"I just try to remember my first magical moment, the first time I used magic... I know Jacob was there, we never were apart from each other." Your eyes glazed over, the missing feeling of your brother's disappearance still heavy on your heart.
Amd Merula, for the first time at seeing your face, felt bad about bullying you about him and his "potential death".
Everyone has been telling you to stop, before you also went mad like your brother, especially your parents. They didn't want their only child left to be striken with the same thing as their eldest, they didn't want to loose you too.
But... What if he was just waiting for you to help him? What if only you could help him?
" I know it's locked away somewhere in my head but I can't seem to recall it. I have been asking my friends about their own first time in hopes that it will shake something loose... But so far? Nothing..."
Well, the sight of the usual cheerful and happy you, being all sad... Didn't sit right with Merula and it definetly wasn't because her heart squeezed painfully in her chest as if she felt your pain as her own. What was this feeling of making you smile and annoy her at the same time? Why didn't she like that feeling on your face? Was she getting soft over you already? Did it... annoy her, being soft and loving and considerate, when it was you who she was involved with?
Nope, not at all.
She gulped her nerves down and looked at you for a second. They aren't some Dementor, they aren't gonna suck the life out of you.
"I... remember the first time I used magic."
Wait... Was she helping you?
You lifted your head slowly to look at her, watching as she was looking behind you to avoid your eyes.
" It left quite an impression on everyone involved." You gaped at her, shocked with your hand up in the air with the fork you held, surprised at her... words.
"Merula... Are you trying to help me?"
That made the red alarms go off in Merula's mind as her eyes widened and her cheeks flushed in a deep red color.
Oops, she caught me!
"O-Of course! I'm the Most Powerful Witch at Hogwarts, after all! And you wouldn't be able to get the job done, like... at all! And it's also natural that my origin story is something impressive!"
"And how do I know that you aren't lying?" You couldn't help but question, your words leaving your lips without your control. But you regretted them just the same when Merula's face fell and her eyes looked at you through her lashes sadly.
A sight that you never dreamed even in your wildest dream.
Just when she was opening up to you slowly, you had to go and ruin it, right Y/N?
"Why the hell would I lie to you?"
No, it was your imagination... Merula's voice didn't shake with disbelief at your question.
You shook your head in confusion, everything becoming overwhelming suddenly. "I don't know, Merula. When it comes to you, I don't know anything except you wanting to destroy me... I mean you lied to me when I was just 11 and made me a food for the Devil's Snare... You can't-"
"No matter how much I want to, I can't lie to you... Trust me, I tried."
That... was the bomb only she could drop. A bomb that threatened to ruin everything, one that could destroy whatever nice things she could do or say.
And though she hoped you didn't understand the heavy meaning behind her words, you did...
"You?"
One word, three letters, and the coldest rone you ever had... And soon, Merula's face twisted in anger and she bolted out of Hall, leaving you in shock as you tried to hold onto her shirt with your heart being dropped to your stomach.
"Merula, wait! I didn't mean to-"
But it was too late.
"What do you want, Y/L/N? I'm studying." You winced at the cold tone she used towards you, her eyes never leaving the page before her at the empty potions classroom. You didn't mean to sound so cold back then, in the Great Hall, but... you were just surprised.
Her? Your soulmate?
What kind of a romcom was this?
Besides, you thought she would never care about such thing, yet alone getting emotional over them...
Maybe you were more of a bad person for assuming so...
"You have been reading the same page for 5 minutes already... Do you think I'm deft enough to believe in that?" You leant over the pillar of the class with your arms crossed in front of your chest, with a soft yet sad smile on your face as she buried her face deeper into her book that she definetly wasn't reading anymore.
"Are you sure you want me to answer that question?" She slapped the book close as she teasingly, yet with a hint of anger which was justifiable, looked at you. You sighed guiltily as your arms fell and rubbed your temples with thight circles. You were already done with blaming yourself, you already felt like a total jackass for what you said, but Merula wasn't helping you fixing it either.
"Why are you so annoying... Merula, I'm trying to fix what I-"
"Then, don't bother! You made it pretty clear then how you saw it... saw me."
You sighed heavily as you sat down next to her, already feeling another headache coming. But you didn't care, if this was the last chance you had to have somewhat a happy future...
You had to fix this mess, the mess you created... Especially after witnessing how much this meant to her, how important it was for her to see you accept her.
"Look, Merula, you can keep avoiding the subject all you want," a scoff left her as she shook her head at you, disappointed with angry tears filling her eyes. Were you really going to scold her? Was she that much of not worthy for love?
What was she expecting anyways? That you would fall into her arms? Call her the love of your life? Her, who was the daughter of two death eaters? Who people saw as another potential one?
"But, contrary to what you might think right now, I'm not giving up on you, I'm not leaving you. So you might as well cooperate and talk to me."
Silence scretchted. One minute, two minutes... It was probably right before the third one ended that she spoke, finally gathering her courage.
"Why?"
"Why what?" You tilted your head in confusion, making her shake her head in disbelief at herself for feeling warm at your adorable curiosity.
"Why don't you give up on me? Clearly, I don't mean anything to you by your previous-"
"Merlin, just..! Let me explain myself, okay? No questions until the end. Once in your life, don't throw a snarky comment." You exclaim harshly, your hands flying up to either side of your face with your eyes shut in slight anger. Merula looked at you frozen, suddenly feeling hot all over her body at the intense eyes you were giving to her.
She nodded silently, a first for her, and nodded at you. You sighed nervously, suddenly aware of the weight of your next words would bring.
They would either be the start of something new, or be the reason why everything would go down for good.
You took a deep breath and dived in.
" My reaction from earlier wasn't because of disgust." Another scoff, met with your raised brows as Merula apologized silently. " I know it's hard to believe, especially when I acted like a true bitch. But... What I meant, what I wanted to just say was that..."
Damn, this is harder than I thought...
"Is that there was no possible way that someone like me was your soulmate. That's why I was like that..."
Merula was shocked. Actually that could be a understatement, because she never thought she would see the day that the usual confident you would sound so fragile and insecure of yourself.
Especially because of her... Because, wasn't she supposed to be the one who is insecure? Her parents were Death Eaters, in Azkaban, and pretty much everyone hates her in the school.
Meanwhile you had many friends, was the Quidditch captain and a prefect who was loved by many in the school. There were probably even some guys and girls who would die to be with you...
You had everything to offer to a possible lover, meanwhile she had nothing.
Why were you thinking like that?
Before she could talk and reassure both you and herself, you continued urgently, wanting to let everything go before she threw a "Depulso" or perhaps even more of a dangerous charm at you.
"Loving you was really hard, accepting it after many sleepless nights was even harder. Because I was scared of what others would think, what our families would think. And the fact that you hated me didn't help..."
"I don't care what they say about me, they can throw shit at me for all I care but you... You are the one good thing that might have happened to me in my short years, for now, and I don't want to... loose you."
She held your hand in a thight grasp between hers as she lifted your joined hands to your eyesight, pointing to them. She would show you all those silly worries of yours was pointless, that she was ready to do whatever it took to fight for you, for herself.
She would live for herself.
"This? This means I care about you, not I hate you. Even when we first met, I never hated you... Well, maybe a bit."
You both chuckled at her attempt to be smooth and you squeezed her hand back in response. You really wanted to believe in both of you, that you two could stand together until the very end...
But what if...
"But... How about our families? Continuing the line or whatever? What would others think-"
Merula sighed annoyed before she flicked your forehead almost in affection. That dumb head of yours is gonna be the reason of your end...
"I just need someone to hold me, Y/L/N..." she said sternly. " Love me without any conditions, any expectations. And... If some fate decided that it was you who would do it, I'm fine with it." She looked down to where your hands were resting on the table in deep thoughts before she gingerly smiled after so long.
"I don't need the money, fame or anything... Though I realized it late. I know I'm rough around the edges but all the love, care, softness and tenderness I have left... It's all for you, they are all yours."
Those dumb romance books really worked...
Wow, I... I never thought Merula had such a romantic side... There is no reason to doubt her.
"Okay." You said breathless, nodding in happiness.
"Okay?" Merula asked in confusion at how easily you... accepted her. Maybe, she shouldn't have made fun of you for being so accepting with everyone else.
"Yeah... Sorry for being an arsehole in the Hall."
She laughed freely at your sheepish look, and you basked in it. She is even more pretty when she laughs...
Behind that laugh though, laid Merula's biggest fear. Now that you two clarified everything... There was only one thing left to do.
"Then... Wouldyougooutwithme?" She hurriedly asked, not wanting the embrassment of asking you out take over her completely. At first, you stood shocked at your seat, not expecting her to talk so fast. And Merula thought it meant rejection, that it was too soon, but you understood her perfectly.
Perhaps what others told you was true: You and Merula were much more alike than neither one of you thought.
"Merula..." you smiled softly at her, " I'd love to go out with you." She was finally able to breathe normally as relief took over and then her mind started to wander. Where to take you...
Black Lake? No, too silent. Hogsmeade? You teo could sit at the teashop and then buy candy and eat it later on the train.
Yes, that was okay... What?
In a spur of moment, you shyly kissed her cheek and bolted out of the class, but not before whispering to her "I can't wait, Merula. For whatever you plan."
Huh..? Well, maybe soulmates weren't that overrated after all, if they gave suxh pure happiness to even the coldest looking girl Hogwarts had ever seen.

LOVE ME LIKE YOU.
Starring: Merula Snyde x f!reader
Warnings: none, just fluff!
Plot: you have to pick a date for the incoming Ball and all of your friends seem to have suddenly picked an interest in you. No one, however, made you feel as alive as Merula did. After a tormented night spent wide awake in your bed, you finally confront and confess your feelings to the lovely brat you have fallen in love with.
REQUESTED BY: @btvdc
VALENTINEโS DAY EVENT: โLOVE ME LIKE YOUโ.
Quote: โLast night, I laid in bed so blue
'Cause I realized the truth
They can't love me like you
I tried to find somebody new
Baby, they ain't got a clue
Can't love me like youโ.
๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น๏น
โLet me guessโฆ You havenโt picked a date yet, have you?โ Tonks quizzically inquired, plopping down on the empty seat next to you.
โBingoโ you shortly replied, fidgeting with the umpteenth note you had received since the beginning of the week. Where did all of these secret admirers come from? Further more, why did they not sign their gushing letters, if they desperately yearned to be your date for the Ball? You were officially done with them and the absurd situation they were putting you through.
Your pink-haired friend chuckled and propped her chin over her hand, her bright eyes scanning the Great Hall in search for a potential candidate to accompany you to the infamous Ball โWhat about Andre? He has declared countless times that youโre his museโฆ I wouldnโt be surprised, if one of these notes has been sent by him?โ she observed, pursuing her lips at you.
You averted your droopy eyes from the note to your ravenclaw friend, who was currently showing a new, expensive fabric to a rather joyful Penny. Well, maybe Tonks was not wrong about Andreโฆ But the blonde potioneer was probably one of the other anonymous senders. You thought you had recognized her calligraphy earlier and, judging by the languid glances she was directing to you from across the room, there was no doubt about it. Penny had a crush on you.
โYouโre probably right, but Iโm not interested in himโฆ And, for what can matter, Iโm not going to choose Penny either. โ you said, folding your arms over your chest โ Sheโs way too sweet and pure to be my perfect matchโ you clarified, lolling your head back in dispair.
At this point, you had almost given up on going to the Ball. If a romantic experince had to turn into a stressful loop of anxiety and dissatisfaction, you would have rather spent the night locked up in your dorm, cuddling your pets.
Tonks snickered and stood up, shooting a knowing look at you โOuch, poor Penny... Well, then I guess I should probably let you know that Tulip heard Talbott and Badeea talking about you in the ravenclaw common room yesterday. โ she casually informed you, stretching her arms over her head โ Actually, they were arguing. I mean, isnโt it weird? Theyโre both so calm and rational, then again theyโve lost control over you!โ.
Your left eye twitched, your hand ripped up the note in your hand at the shocking revelation. When did she think it was the right time to let you know about it? Not that you were going to consider them as an option in the first place, but you would have surely avoided them down the corridors earlier. Any kind of interaction would have been detrimental in your desperate search for the right date.
โTonks! โ you whined, stomping your foot as a sign of irritation โ Is there something else you wish to tell me?โ you rhetorically asked her, palming your forehead.
She shook her head and turned her back at you โNah, Iโmma go to bed. And you should do the same!โ she replied, ambling towards the exit calmly, as if she had not just dropped a bomb.
She was right. Maybe you were just too tired. And, maybe, you had already made up your mind. You knew who your heart desired, who you enjoyed sharing your meals, or butterbeers with. You had a fling with her. Nothing official, yet something important. You had not kissed many times. Actually, you had barely kissed. However, the way your lips brushed over hers, and the fact that the spark igniting your heart that very night was still vividly stuck in your mind were a clear sign that you were in love with her.
Dragging your feet along the floor, you made your way to your dorm and slipped under the covers without even changing into a proper attire. You were too stressed, too nervous and you struggled to fall asleep for hours. You tossed and turned continously, as you tried to make up your mind. You were conscious that, if you decided to pick her as your date for the ball, this time it would have been forever.
โFuck it, alright?โ you cussed, rolling on your back and staring at the ceiling.
Did anyone else make you feel the way she did? No. Was there someone else residing 24/7 in your mind? Of course noโฆ
โWellโฆ Maybe Barnaby? Argh, who am I kidding? He is always so sweet with me. Just stop, Y/N! I love her! There is no going back. I choose herโ you said, maybe a little bit too loud, considering it was 2 oโ clock in the morning. One of your roommate groaned out in frustration and threw a pillow in your direction, that you easily dodged.
โShut the hell up and ask her out. I wanna sleep...โ she ranted, slithering back underneath the blankets to try to get some sleep.
The morning after, you met her at breakfast. You had a very hard time to approach her, especially when Ismelda shot daggers in your direction and seemed to be a minute away from jinx you. Your purple-eyed crush, on the other hand, had no troubles in glaring at her and making you the center of her attention.
โSo, whatโs the matter? Have you slept last night?โ she commenced, cocking her head to the side.
You rolled your eyes at her and rubbed the back of your neck in distress โPlease, Merula, donโt make things so damn complicated. โ you complained, locking eyes with her โ Be my date. I โฆ Iโd very much like it, if you just said yesโ you blurted out, cheeks flushing up as she stared at you dumbfounded.
โAre you serious?โ she asked, blinking skeptically at you.
โYes, I amโ.
โProve it thenโ she challenged you, folding her arms against her chest.
You chewed on your lower lip in nervousness, fists clenched at your sides as you pondered her request. You were there, opening your heart to her, making the first step, and she had the audacity of teasing you? Was it not clear enough that you were serious about your proposal? Yet, that side of her personality, what most of your friends loathed about her, was exactly what drove you crazy.
โI love youโ you simply quipped then, watching her lips parting in disbelief. Yet, you were done playing games. Sticking up to your intent to make your relatioship official, you cupped her heart-shaped visage in your hands and smashed your lips against her ones.
That was the kiss you had dreamt about for years. That was the kiss you craved and the one you could not wait up until midnight to finally steal from her. Merula was completely shocked, as if a lightning had struck her and she was left fuzzy and disoriented right after it.
โNo one is quite like youโ you breathed out, pressing your forehead against hers.
She blushed, pulling you in for another brief kiss โI get to have the last word, though. Donโt forget itโ she joked, winking at you.
You chuckled and took a step back, bowing your head as a sign of resignation to her umpteenth declaration of her supremacy โSee you tonight, miss Snydeโ.

So, I've been wanting to write hphm tlsq, chapters, quidditch sidequests, and creature sidequests down from my character's point of view. I recently started writing a bit of flying solo (the quest where you become friends with Talbott), and I was wondering if I should continue writing it, and post it on my blog. I'd really appreciate feedback on my writing, and how I could improve. Thanks for reading this long a/n, and now, feel free to read the fanfic if you want.
Word count (so far) : 3,800
Flying Solo
Ever since becoming an animagus, Iโve been wanting to get closer with the mysterious, quiet bloke Talbott. I felt like he was a magnet, pulling me towards him. Speaking about Talbott, I got a letter from Penny, and all it stated was, โWe need to talk about Talbott. Let's meet in the Great Hall now. With the urgency of her letter, I was really concerned. I ran from my dormitory straight to the Great Hall.
While walking over to the tables, I heard Rowan comment, โ Iโve seen an eagle flying around the school grounds a lot recently. I hope all the pet rats are safe.โ After I heard that, I stopped moving and started wondering, could that be Talbottt?
I also passed Chiara, but she didnโt mention anything about an eagle, she instead mentioned to some Gryffindor kid called Jae, โSorry, Iโm a bitโฆ preoccupied tonight.โ Poor thing. She always makes me think about why bad things happen to good people. At least there is some good that comes out of it; a person that cares about making transforming less painful and more affordable.
While still walking over to Penny, I heard Merula yell at Ismelda. She was screaming, โSome bloody bird tried to nest in my hair earlier!โ I guess even birds think her hair is messy as heck too. I laughed at the thought. That couldnโt have been Talbott though because he usually keeps to himself, and isnโt the biggest fan of Merula.
I finally finished walking over to where I normally sit with friends in the Great Hall, but when I got there, Penny was nowhere to be found!! I sighed and sat down. I nearly left after waiting for 10 minutes, but finally, Penny decided to show up.
โAh, youโre here, Isabella! Thanks for coming,โ she greeted, looking worried.
โOf course, Penny,โ I said, picking up on her fidgety behaviour, โNow, whatโs wrong?โ I asked, getting straight to the point, โYou sounded worried when you asked to meet.โ
โItโs Talbottโฆโ she said nervously. I quickly started paying more attention. I donโt know why Talbott has this sort of effect on me, but I really care about him, even though I hardly know him.
Taken by surprise, I blurted out without thinking, โTalbott Winger, the one who helped us brew an Animagus Potion? Whatโs wrong?! Is he hurt?!โ
โNoโฆโ Penny said uncertaintly, โat least I hope not.โ I raised my eyebrow at this. Based on my reaction, Penny quickly explained, โHeโs been spending all of his time alone recently.โ
I held back a laugh, โno offence, Penny, but have you met Talbott? He makes Snape look talkative.โ
Penny awkwardly said, โI know heโs aโฆ private person, but I've been his friend for a while. I can tell somethingโs wrong.โ I gave Penny a sceptical look, and she added, โplus heโs been missing class, even Transfiguration, and thatโs his favourite.โ I subconsciously added that to my mental list of things to remember. Could Talbott be in an organisation like me? Did he join the Keepers of Adeen? Noโฆ I wouldโve known if there was a new memberโฆ Maybe he joined Dark Core? It would make sense why theyโd want him of all people because he can spy with his animagus abilityโฆ No, he doesnโt seem like the type of person to do thatโฆ Penny continued, snapping me out of my thoughts, โIโd ask him myself, but I havenโt been able to find him. I think heโs been avoiding me,โ she said, looking like she was about to cry. I immediately became determined to help, I didn't want to see Penny this sad.
โThatโs why I asked to meet you, actually. I was hoping you might know where he is,โ she explained.
I felt really bad admitting, โsorry, Penny, I havenโt seen him at all recently.โ I couldnโt look at Pennyโs face with tears threatening to fall, so I quickly looked away. Suddenly, while gazing at my other friends, I got an idea, โbut letโs ask around. Surely someone has to have seen Talbott.โ Thankfully, Penny cheered up. โMission accomplished,โ I muttered under my breath.
First I went up to Rowan who apologised, โsorry, Isabella, Iโve been too busy with my studies to pay much attention to gossip.โ
I asked again, โare you sure you havenโt seen him?โ
She looked up from her book sighing, and asked, โif Talbott wants to be alone, shouldnโt you give him his space?โ
Getting the hint, I left Rowan reading. Maybe I can get information from Merual, I thought. After asking the question, Merula asked, snorting, โWinger? Are you picking up another odd friend to add to your collection?โ
โTalbottโs not odd,โ I muttered, wanting to blast that smirk off Merulaโs stupid face.
โSorry, whatโs that, Wallace? Standing up for your boyfriend?โ she asked, trying to provoke me. I walked away, thinking better than starting a fight.
โGuess Iโll go to Tulip,โ I told myself, โshe might know since sheโs in his house.โ
All she could tell me was, โI haven't seen Talbott Winger around the Ravenclaw common room much lately.โ
I sighed, leaving her to ask Andre who just asked me, โTalbott Wingerโs the bloke that keeps to himself a lot, right?โ
Giving up, I reluctantly went over to Merula again, who was no help, and just asked, โyou have a hard time keeping track of a lot of people, eh Wallace?โ
I looked away from her and spotted Professor Flitwick at the staff table. He might know more, I thought. Apparently, I thought wrong. He had just as much of an idea on the matter as me, saying, โno, Iโm afraid Mr. Winger hasnโt told me anything,โ and requesting, โif you do see Mr. Winger, please tell him we need to discuss his attendance.โ
Tulip beckoned me over to her. I was hopeful for a moment for evidence, but all I got from her was, โNow that I think about it, I didnโt see Talbott Winger at dinner, does that help?โ
โNot really, but thanks anyway Tulip,โ I replied sadly.
Andre saw me and, I suppose he felt guilty for not giving me any information, because he quickly said, โsorry, I donโt know much about Talbott other than that he looks interesting.โ
I sighed, saying, โitโs okay Andre, itโs not like itโs your fault.โ
Me and Penny regrouped and I said, โthatโs odd. I asked everyone who knows him and it doesnโt seem any of them has seen Talbott,โ making sure she at least would feel a bit better, I added, โwhateverโs going on, it doesnโt seem like heโs ignoring you specifically, Penny.โ
โThough Iโm glad heโs not only avoiding me, now Iโm even more worriedโฆโ She looked away, and became lost in thought. She looked back up, โI want to look for him, but I promised Iโd tutor a few first years in potions nowโฆโ
Seeing her sad look, I had to tell her, โdonโt worry, Penny. Iโll find and talk to him.โ
โReally? Youโll check in on Talbott for me? Why?โ She asked, seeming suspicious.
I was quick to explain, โTalbottโs my friend, even if he doesnโt like to admit it. Iโm worried about him and want to make sure heโs okay too.โ I slowly added in, talking to myself more than Penny, โBesides, this might be a good opportunity to try to get to know him better.โ
Penny ran up and hugged me, โthanks, Isabella. Itโs a relief knowing youโll be there for him if he does need help.โ She pulled away, โTalbott might say heโd rather be alone, but I donโt think he really means it,โ she said with a soft expression, โI really appreciate this, Isabella. Let me know how it goes and if you need any help.โ
โOf course!,โ I said almost immediately, โIโm heading to the Courtyard now, Iโll look for Talbott while Iโm there.โ
Me and Penny parted ways. I headed back up to my dormitory. After changing from my robes to my casual outfit since school was done for the rest of the day on Friday, I layed down, only for Chocolate to come with a piece of parchment in her beak. I was quick to take and read it. It started:
Dear, Isabella,
Since you wonโt give up on looking for me, Iโll meet you in the Courtyard now.
Sincerely,
Talbott
This time, I was too lazy to run all the way to the Courtyard, so I transformed into my animagus form; a Peregrine Falcon, and flew out of my dormitory window, down to the Courtyard. โShoot, I forgot about the landing process,โ I said to myself, since Iโve always ended up landing by crashing into the ground.
As soon as the Courtyard caught my sight, I sighed, found the pear tree, and decided to crash into it. I shut my eyes tight and felt all the branches scrape me. I transformed back to a human and hissed in pain. I stood up, ignoring how bad it actually was. Looking around, the only people I saw in the Courtyard other than me were Jae and Chiara. Do they just spend all their time together? I thought to myself. I slowly walked over to the doors leading to the Courtyard.
I heard a calling whistle and quickly looked around to see Talbott leaning against the fountain as he stated, โover here.โ
โTalbott! When I told Penny Iโd look for you, I wasnโt expecting you to reach out and agree to meet me here first,โ I said, surprised.
โSo itโs true that you and Penny have been looking for me,โ he said with an eyebrow raised and a sceptical look.
โWhere did you hear that?โ I asked, โeveryone I talked to hasnโt seen or talked to you in days.โ
โI little birdie told me,โ he said smirking. I broke my composure and giggled.
After controlling myself again, I said, rolling my eyes, smiling, โnice try, but bird puns wonโt distract me from asking about whatโs going on with you for that long.โ
He sighed, โIt was worth a shot.โ
I glared at him, โTalbott, Iโm being serious. Youโve even been missing classes,โ I sighed before continuing, โWhen Penny told me how concerned she was about you, I couldnโt help but be worried too.โ
โI appreciate the concern, but as you can see, Iโm fine,โ he said, trying to convince me. I guess it was too bad for him that Iโm able to tell when people are faking their emotions because I do it too.
โAre you actually fine?โ I asked, then said accusingly, โOr are you just lying and telling me youโre fine so Iโll leave you alone?โ
Surprisingly, unlike most people who get nervous or surprised when I accuse them of things, Talbott kept his composure and asked, โIf I tell you Iโm lying, will you keep pressuring me to find out whatโs wrong?โ
โYes.โ
โThen, Iโm actually fine,โ he said, rolling his eyes.
โTalbott!โ I yelled, getting annoyed.
He actually did lose his composure for a bit but then continued, โSo Iโve spent a lot of time alone lately. Thatโs not exactly newsworthy,โ he paused and added quieter than before, โWhy do you care if thereโs anything bothering me anyways?โ
I felt my face slowly heat up as I was under his piercing gaze, โI consider you my friend, Talbott, and I care about you. If somethingโs bothering you, I want to know so I can help,โ I swallowed before continuing, โI thought you opened up to me back then because you thought of me as your friend, too,โ I looked back into his eyes, โwas I wrong?โ
He looked around awkwardly, and, trying to come up with an excuse, he said, โI know I called you my friend earlier, but itโs just because I got caught up in the moment.โ Apparently Iโm good at making people feel bad, because, after seeing my face, he said, โItโs not that I donโt like you or anything. Iโm just not ready to call you my friend yet. You barely know me.โ
I muttered to myself, โPart of me was hoping this was my opportunity to change that.โ
Noticing the awkward silence, I said, โFine, we donโt have to talk about whatโs wrong,โ I felt around in my mokeskin pouch, and found what I was looking for. Smiling, I said, โWe can play a game of Gobstones insteadโฆโ suddenly I got an idea, and added, โBut if I win, you have to at least consider telling me why youโve been extra distant lately,โ I finished, smirking.
โAnd if I win?โ He asked with a raised eyebrow.
โIโll tell Penny youโre actually fine and never bring any of this up again,โ I said, trying to convince him.
โAlright, Isabella. If you can beat me at Gobstones, I promise to hear you out,โ he said, looking determined.
After I set up the game, Talbott must have gotten a flashback, because he stated, โYour distractions wonโt work this time, Isabella. I donโt intend to lose,โ and to add some uncertainty for me he said, โIโve been practising Gobstones.โ
The distraction rolled off my tongue like water causing me to say, smirking, โand Iโve been spying on the ministry.โ
โYouโve been what?!โ He said surprised, not realising he completely missed the stones until it was my turn and he was sprayed, โugh, honestly, you should be a Slytherin,โ he said annoyed, โanyway, whyโs Penny worried about me?โ
โShe fancies you,โ I said sarcastically. Unfortunately, I was too distracted saying that, and only came back to my senses to see Talbott smirking, and myself smelling horrible.
โNice try, but I know Penny likes someone else,โ he said proudly.
โIf I couldnโt say it any better, Iโd say you actually like hanging out with me,โ I stated.
โWell, Iโd prefer to keep to myself,โ he said, flustered.
โWell, Iโd prefer to report you to the ministry,โ I said, distracting him enough to spray him.
He sighed, โIโll admit, I didnโt see that coming,โ and under his breath he stated, โmaybe if you didnโt keep distracting me.โ
I smirked, โDistractions? What distractions? Iโm just making small talk,โ I finished casually.
Observing the game with his โeagle eyesโ he replied, โYou might be close to winning, but you canโt possibly have any distractions leftโฆโ
โWeโll see about that,โ I glared while smiling.
โIโm setting up my special moveโฆโ he muttered.
โIs that a ministry official I see?โ I asked, distracting him long enough for him to miss yet again, and for me to knock the rest of the Gobstones out of the circle.
Talbott groaned, โI know when Iโve lost. I suppose I can at least hear you out.โ
After we stood up, he admitted, โAlright, Isabella, you won. Just like I promised, Iโll hear you out.โ
โTalbott, I know you donโt like talking about yourself, but you shouldnโt be afraid to tell me whatโs bothering you. You trusted me with your secret that youโre an unregistered Animagusโฆ And as an unregistered Animagus too, I understand how much trust that requiresโฆโ I said, trying to convince him to tell me, โI guess what Iโm saying isโฆ I hope you know you can tell me anything,โ I canโt say I wasnโt surprised by his response.
Talbott stopped to listen intently and suddenly said looking horrified, โshh!โ
โWhat?โ Then I stopped to listen too. I heard footsteps close by us. My eyes widened, โoh no! Oh no oh no oh no oh no,โ I muttered under my breath. As quickly as those words came out of my mouth, I whipped out my wand, just to see Talbott doing the same thing after looking around. I softly yelled, โHomenum revelio!โ Pointing my wand at where I heard the footsteps. I noticed Talbott did the same thing.
I wasnโt surprised on who I revealed, โMerula?! You were spying on us?!โ
Talbott rolled his eyes, โShe must have been under the Disillusionment Charm. That would explain why we didnโt notice her until she moved,โ he moved his attention over to her, โHow much did you hear?โ
Merula looked annoyed, โNothingโฆ I was just passing through.โ
Talbott scoffed, โLike Iโd believe that. People who are โjust passing throughโ donโt use Concealment Charms.โ
โEven if I had heard you, what makes you interested in your little gossip? I have better things to do with my timeโฆโ
Talbott turned back to me, looking horrified, โEven though she denies it, Merula had heard weโre unregistered Animagi,โ he looked more angry by the moment, โIf thatโs not bad enough, everyone in school knows her parents are in Azkaban for supporting You-Know-Who! The child of two Death Eaters knows weโre unregistered Animagi!โ
I immediately backtracked, โIโm so sorry, Talbott. I had no idea Merula was listening in on us.โ Iโm gonna have to give myself several more scars for this later.
Talbott took a deep breath, โitโs fineโฆโ
Trying to make things better I added, โLet me talk to Merula. Maybe I can-โ
โNo offence, Isabella, but youโve done enough,โ Talbott said angrily.
โBut I know Merual! I can at least try to convince her to keep our secret!โ With Talbott looking like he was about to say no, I said, โIn fact, Iโll go find Merula and talk to her right now.โ
โThanks, but I donโt need anymore of your help. Iโll handle Merula on my own,โ and with that, he walked away from me.
After going to the bathroom, adding several more cuts on my arm, cleaning them, and going back to my dormitory, I sent Merula a letter;
Dear Merula,
I know this sounds crazy, but I need to talk with you.
Sincerely,
Isabella
I sent Chocolate away. I sketched for about thirty minutes, waiting for her to come back. When she returned, she had a letter in her beak;
Dear Isabella,
If you must talk to me, you might as well come now. Iโm in the Potions Classroom.
Sincerely,
Merula
I walked down to the dungeons, to see Merula getting blasted in the face with a potion she was attempting to make. I laughed and walked over to her. Although her face was now covered in a black-ish colour, she tried to act like nothing happened by quickly wiping it off. She went back to her potion, clearly ignoring me, so I cleared my throat.
Groaning, she asked, โWhat do you want, Wallace? Iโm studying.โ
โYou read my letter, didnโt you? We need to talk.โ
โIf this is about you and Winger, I already told you that I didnโt hear anythingโ
I sighed, โDo you really think Iโm daft enough to believe that lie?โ
She smirked, โAre you sure you want me to answer that question?โ
โWhy were you spying on us, Merula?โ
Rolling her eyes for the hundredth time, while making her cauldron stir on its own, she countered, โWhy are you so incredibly annoying?โ
โLook, Merula, you can keep avoiding the subject all you want, but I'm not leaving until you agree to talk, so you might as well cooperate,โ I said, trying to not let my anger get the best of me.
โUgh, youโre really not going to go away until I do, are you?โ
โNow youโre getting it,โ I said with a prideful smile.
Losing the argument, Merula gave in and said, โFine, but Iโm going to finish this potion first, so you might as well grab a beaker and make yourself useful.โ
While grabbing the beaker she pointed at, I mentioned, โI didnโt know you were so studious, Merula.โ
Just having to be rude, Merula said, โStudying must be a foreign concept for you, eh Wallace?โ
After handing the beaker over to her, I sighed, crossing my arms, โJust because you donโt usually see me studying doesnโt mean I donโt. I just try to avoid you throughout the day.โ
โSince youโre just standing there, you might as well hand me that bottle.โ
Leaning over to give it to her, I noticed Merulaโs book was filled with notes in the margins that arenโt in her handwriting. โWhat potion is Merula even brewing?โ I muttered, studying her book. Apparently she heard me because she replied, โHow are you passing potions? This is just a simple Wideye Potion. Honestly, Barnaby has more brain cells than you.โ
โWell, I feel like Barnaby is very smart, so Iโll consider that a compliment,โ I said, sticking up for him. Changing the subject, I asked, โWould you really report Talbott to the Ministry, Merula?โ
โI couldnโt care less about Winger. I just followed you thinking you were sneaking off to go Cursed Vault hunting, so I really donโt care.โ
โIโd say I canโt believe youโd spy on me, Merula, but thatโd be a lie.โ
โWow, you finally understand my personality, Wallace,โ she said sarcastically, โFine, I admit it, I was listening in on you and Winger, but only because I thought you had more info on the Cursed Vault of Fear.โ
โAha! So you were lying!โ
โYes, alright, I lied about not hearing anything. So what?โ
โI donโt blame you for spying on me and lying about it. I wouldโve done the same if I were in your position, but I wouldโve gotten away with it,โ I muttered in the last part.
She put an over-exaggerating expression on her face, โI wasnโt spying, I was keeping an eye on my competition,โ she thought for a moment, and suddenly said, โAnd whatโs that supposed to mean?!โ
Ignoring her last comment, I continued on, โSo just to be clear, you werenโt spying on Talbott and me to try to learn our secrets?โ
Without confirming or denying what I asked, Merula replied, โLike I said, I wasnโt spying, I was keeping an eye on my competition, and why else would I be interested in you and your odd friends?โ
โLike I said, Talbottโs not odd, and Iโm not sure if I should feel relieved or insulted.โ
โIf thatโs all-โ
โ-Wait, Merula, the real reason I came was to convince you to not tell anyone about Talbottโs and my secret,โ I said quickly.
โWhy shouldnโt I tell anyone you and Winger are unregistered Animagi?โ Merula said challengingly.
โBecause Iโll force you to keep it a secret if necessary.โ
โAre you seriously threatening someone who could get you and your friend sent to Azkaban?โ Then she said something I wasnโt expecting, โYou might be more interesting than I thought, Wallace.โ
โSo will you keep Talbottโs secret?โ I said.
โWeโll see, wonโt we?โ She asked, trying to scare me.
โMerula, this is serious,โ I said, unfazed.
โI am being serious,โ she smirked, making me worry. Not for myself, but for Talbott. I donโt want to be the reason heโd get sent to Azkaban.
โI better find Talbott now and warn him about Merulaโฆโ I said to myself after Merula left with the biggest smug look on her face.

How about Merula trying to give a homemade Valentine's gift to a tall sunshine jock girl?
hi! thank you for requesting! i hope itโs to your liking!
happy valentineโs day! ๐โจ
You rush to get out of practice.
The entire team had thought that it was rather unfair of your captain to schedule quidditch practice on Valentineโs Day, but you supposed her explanationโwhile still unfairโdid make sense.
โNo one else will want it that day!โ She had exclaimed when your teammates tried arguing with her. โThis will be the perfect time to get some extra practices in!โ
Of course, she rather pointedly ignored the various responses of โwe donโt want it that day either!โ but you merely shrugged your shoulders and accustomed yourself to the idea. Itโs not like you had a valentine to spend it with anyway.
Or, thatโs what you thought at least. But during practice you happened to spot a very familiar head of brown hair in the overwhelmingly empty stands and your hopes seemed to skyrocket of their own accord. You smiled secretly to yourself.
You bid a chaste goodbye to your teammates, trying to ignore the now thin sheen of sweat on your brow as you hurry to catch Merula on her way out.
Youโre not getting away from me that easily...
Luckily, or maybe intentionally but from whose side you canโt tell, you just manage to bump into her as sheโs gathering her things. Your eyes seem trained on her every move yet she doesnโt even deign to acknowledge you.
Thatโs okay. You never minded making the first move anyway.
โWhatcha doing here, Merula?โ You ask, leaning easily against the stands. โWanted to watch me practice?โ
โNot everything is about you, yโknow.โ She snips, but youโve long since learned that the girlโs bark is worse than her bite. In fact, youโve come to find it kinda cute.
โI know,โ You reply swiftly, a broad grin on your face that only serves to rile Merula up more. โBut you donโt play quidditch and itโs rather somber out today so thereโs really no use to come all the way out here just to do some homework. Not to mention itโs Valentineโs Day and Iโm sure you must have much more important things to do thaโโ
โMerlin, if I give you your Valentineโs Day gift will you shut up?โ
Your mouth closes, but your lips press firmly together in a thinly veiled attempt to push back another smile.
You nod.
And so, with a faint blush that youโd like to think isnโt at all attributed to the cold weather, Merula pulls something out of her pocket and grabs your hand. Towering over her much smaller frame, you watch carefully as she eases open your palm to place her gift inside it.
As what seems to be commonplace when Merula is around, your lips twist into a saccharine smile at the sight.
โA scarf?โ
She scowls, but her gaze drifts, diverting to the Grey clouds around you. โItโsโโ She groans and tries again. โItโs the easiest thing to make. Plus, I had lots of orange and I used to watch my mother knit andโI donโt even know why Iโm explaining myself to you!โ
Flustered, Merula makes to slide past you but you reach out, grabbing her sleeve and she stops, her pretty eyes staring up at you, wide.
โI love it, Merula,โ You tell her sincerely, your expression bright. โThank you.โ
The flush on her face only deepens further and she pulls her sleeve from your grasp. โYeah, yeah. Happy Valโs Day or whatever.โ
โHappy Valentineโs Day.โ

Merula Snyde Aesthetic
(not my gif! do not own!)
(not my gif! do not own!)
[face claim for merula snyde is claire foy. an explanation for the aesthetic, i mean theyโre all pretty self explanatory but either way iโll just explain them, is the quote saying pretty mean and violent which is all so true indeed. then she has showing her middle fingers cuz sheโs sorta like the bully. then we have the mascot or to show that she is sure enough a slytherin. then a purple eye to show that she has purple orbs. and another quote in that venomous green stating i am poison which pretty much explains her. i love making these and love doing face claims for things such as this.]
i dont take requests for aesthetics but i take requests these characters and all of hp characters for me to write fics x readers for u. i hope u guys like these!
also if u look at my masterlist u will see my stories and other aesthetics ive done :)

Hold Me. [Barnaby x reader]
Summary: MC is feeling a little snuggly today, and her favorite teddy bear is always there to help her out.
Requested: @poseidonmelezi
Thanks for the wonderful request sweetheart!
Warnings: None. Fluffy sugary sweetness.
A/N: Our heartfelt apologizes to our follows, weโve been locked in a basement full of personal issues recently, and so we couldnโt post as often as usual. Thank you again for being patient, and after we finally clear out requests, this blog will be under construction for just a bit. โค๏ธ
The Gryffindoor girl walked down the halls, confident sweeps of her feet as her h/c hair lashed against her face from her speedy movements. Late to class, again. She sped through the halls, her chin up high, eyes flickering with slight panic, as she sped through the halls of Hogwarts.
Finallt arriving, she dropped her books on her desk loudly, staring at Flitwick with scared eyes. He paid no mind, and she took a deep breath and took a seat by Barnaby, who smiled with a sheepish wave. She fancied him, she fancied him a lot. It was also quite obvious, but not to our oblivious teddy bear here. Her cheeks flushed, as she took deep breaths to calm her unsteady heart. Immediately taking out some parchment and a quill, she scribbled down her notes.
Class ending quickly, she flurried to another class, only to be knocked over by a familiar figure. Messy brown hair with furrowed brows and a peerless glare, it must be Merula.
โMerula, I donโt have time for this.โ Y/N only groaned, glaring straight back at her. Merula scoffed, before moving out of her way. And in a dash, Y/N was back on her feet.
It continued like this for the rest of the day, hair streaming behind her or in her eyes, eyes panicked and searching for her classroom, aching hands from constant note taking. Today just didnโt seem good for our cursed hero. Finally, with a swish of her robes once again, she collapsed onto a library table, her satchel under her like a pillow, as she almost fell asleep immediately.
Until a familiar slytherin approached her, taking a seat by her, a piece of bitten paper in his mouth. โWhy hello y/n, you donโt seem to be doing very well today.โ He greeted bluntly, as she could only groan.
โThank you for notiching Barnaby.โ She reclined in the chair, lazily sprawling before laying her head on his shoulder. His cheeks turned a slight pink at this action, but the girl herself didnโt even care, exhausted from hard dayโs work. Her face was dusted with pink from her running, hands sore and red, eyes teary with sleepiness. โI assume you have had a much better day.โ She guessed, nuzzling his shoulder. Her voice came out muffled.
โIโm having a very good day.โ He said, swallowing a bit. He wasnโt uncomfortable, thatโs not what it was, it was more, dazed?
โThatโs good to hear.โ She slurred slightly, before he wrapped an arm around her, bringing her closer. She realized the situation, but didnโt bother to move. Her weariness overcame her, as she simply rested her hands and leaned in closer to his chest, almost nodding off at that very second. His warmth was lulling her to sleep, and his arms were comforting.
She just wished she had a chance to say how much she liked him, the moment was absolutely perfect. She admired everything about him, even from her brave standpoint, she admired his loyalty and bravery to stand with a cursed child. Her prideful side would never admit it, but she felt some odd debt to be owed by him, and she certainly looked up to him. But more than as a friend, she just wished-
โI think I like you.โ He blurted, and she felt her face grow hot, palms clammy.
โI like you too!โ She almost responded immediately, but felt an odd sense of dread in her stomach, as he looked down to smile at her.
โActually-โ There it was. โI donโt think I like you, I know it.โ He said with a somewhat prideful confidence. It was kinda funny to her, seeing a loyal friend in such a position. She leaned into him once again, before looking up and gently kissing him. He kissed back, and her heart felt like exploding right there and then. Her heartbeat rang in her ears like wedding bells, time felt like it stopped before she parted.
โThank you Barnaby.โ She almost stuttered, before he rubbed her arms and held her close once again.
โOf course y/n. Anything for you.โ He flashed her a dazzling smile, and she felt the warmth in her chest grow, as she could only smile back. He really was like a teddy bear, could make her happy and was cuddly as one too.
He was pleasant. Thatโs for sure.

Impossible, Pt.2 - Merula Snyde x Hufflepuff!MC
Ship: Merula Snyde x Female!Hufflepuff!MC
Summary: A war is approaching, both Y/N and Merula know that well. But that canโt stop them from making their dream true - it can only strenghten them now.
Requested: Yes - โHi! I hope Iโm not bothering you but I loved impossible so much that I was wondering if you can do a part 2? This time Merula asks shy!naive! Hufflepuff reader to marry her. Of course Hufflepuff reader accepts. You can decide whether it should take place before or after the battle of hogwarts. Then flash forward to their wedding with all of mcโs gang, Lizzie, and maybe ismelda (you can decide on that as well)โ
Warnings: None
A/N: I hope this lives up to expectations, I really donโt know how to write weddings. Anyway, I just couldnโt resist a bit of angst here, and itโs quite short, sorry for that. And as a side note, I wrote this while listening to Myaskovskyโs cello concerto. Ifย youโre into classical music, give it a shot. ;)
The house was small, the day humid. It was an eventful period, but in no way positively so.
The Dark Lord had come back.
Y/N slammed the knife harder on the poor carrot that was at her mercy. She was not afraid, she kept repeating herself. Not for her own life, definitely not. Sheโd risked it so many times already, she wasnโt afraid to do it again. She was scared, instead, that her friends might not make it, or that someone would be forced on the wrong side.
Someone, someone very important.
Merula sat in her usual armchair in the living room, visible from the kitchen. Her eyes were closed, she was sighing loudly, repeatedly. She knew she would find herself across her parents sooner or later, and if she had wished for them to be there for her before, she didnโt want to see them now, not in the current situation.
Y/N sighed too. Looking at her girlfriend sadly, she resumed her work with the carrot, until she felt a searing pain in her finger and her warm blood seeping from the nasty cut. She hissed, moving to the sink to wash it as Merula opened her eyes and stood abruptly.
โDo I always have to tell you to be careful with knifes?โ she shot her girlfriend a harsh glare, before patching her up.
โMerulaโฆโ
โI know what youโre thinking. Let it go. Stop thinking about me. Iโm going to be fineโ.
โThis will end in war. Itโs not fine, Merulaโ.
โY/N, love, I donโt want to talk about it. Reallyโ.
Tears started to well up in Y/Nโs eyes as she wrapped her arms around her girlfriendโs neck. As warm, salty tears wet Merulaโs shoulder, cold rain hit their windows, and Y/N started to sob.
โPlease, donโtโฆโ a single tear ran down Merulaโs cheek, then she drew in a breath, and released the girl who was clinging to her desperately.
โYou just made me realise we donโt have much time until it becomes dangerous to even breathe, so Iโll do this. Maybe it will make you smile. It seems ages since Iโve last seen light in your eyes and I miss it so muchโ.
She drew in another breath, then knelt in front of Y/N. The girlโs eyes widened.
โY/N L/N, our relationship started strangely and I admit I wasnโt particularly fond of you at the beginning, I duelled and bullied you and then I realised it was all because I needed someone like you in my life, so much. Scratch that, I needed you. I loved you and I love you and I donโt know what will become of us, I donโt know how much we have left, so I want to ask you to be my wife, so that I can call you mine and you can call me yours, for as long as this will last. Y/N L/N, will you marry me?โ
She was crying again, she noticed. But this time, she wore a wide smile on her face, and was nodding vigorously.
โYes!โ
Merula opened her left hand to reveal a small box. Inside was a beautiful golden ring, which she slipped on Y/Nโs finger before standing and kissing her softly. When they pulled away, they smiled wider than before.
โCome on, we have to prepare the invitations now!โ Y/N took Merulaโs hand, dragging her away from the dimly lit kitchen.
~โ~โ~โ~โ~โ~
The wedding was beautiful; Y/N still wondered how Merula had managed to pick such a perfect day for it. She had insisted so much on the twentieth of June, even though the whole week around it was supposed to be rainy. But instead, the sun had shone throughout the whole day, and the wedding had proceeded smoothly. Everyone had ran up to them as soon as they reached the venue for the party, hugging Y/N first, then Merula, congratulating them warmly.
โIโve missed the Hufflepuff gang!โ Penny laughed as she made the other Hufflepuff girls come around her for a group hug.
Then, the Weasleys walked up to the brides with two boxes in hand.
โOur mom wanted you to have these. Of course we got you another present tooโ Bill said sheepishly, โOpen them now, pleaseโ.
The boxes contained the typical sweaters. Y/N and Merula exchanged a look, then chuckled lightly.
โTheyโre amazing!โ
Barnaby and Liz congratulated them next, followed by Ismelda, who looked nothing like the weird, bloodthirsty girl she was in Hogwarts.
โIโm so happy for you girlsโ she said as she hugged them both. It was probably the first time Y/N saw her smile, truly smile, not just evilly grin at some edgy comment sheโd made.
Then Tulip and Andre, Diego, Badeea, everyone was there for them, and everyone was happy.
The tables clad in white were now surrounded by coloured dots, all their friends.
โI donโt want any of them to sufferโฆโ Y/N murmured as she sat next to her wife.
โDonโt think about those things now. None of them will, and we wonโt either. Now letโs enjoy this dayโ.
The sun kept on shining on them as the day progressed, until it set exploding in beautiful colours. The evening and its dark blue sky couldnโt cloud their happiness.
โTo Y/N and Merula!โ Penny called out, standing up from her seat and raising her glass of champagne.
โTo Y/N and Merula!โ everyone chanted back.
โTo usโ Merula murmured as she clicked her glass with her wifeโs.
Yes, everything was perfect, even if for just one day.
