Leaning close, Evadne inspected the string of runes near the bottom of the page. She moved away, closer the the parchment beside her to write down a neat sentence. Evadne gently nudged aside the book she’d been translating from Runic for an assignment. Merlin, her head hurt today. Last night hadn’t been a good night. She didn’t even have a fun excuse like partying, it had just been hard to sleep last night and her pillow had felt extra flat and she just… couldn’t sleep. But she’d finished the page she had started, offering her a breaking point to lean her head on the table in front of her. She couldn’t help the sigh that glided through her lips. After a moment, she sat up and stretched her neck first to the left, then the right, and then tilted it up towards the sky. Her arms lifted to join in on the stretch before relaxing back to the table. Could it be friday already? Who would be hosting the party? She could use one right about now. Evadne loved learning and participating in academic indevores but sometimes, a person simply needed a day off, a bit of dancing, and maybe even a bit of making out. Honestly.

She shifted the papers over and closed the book around them. Her fingers lifted a clean paper from the roll beside her. Smoothing it, she opened her transfiguration book to start a new set of homework and give her mind a break from Runic. She read the chapter on human transfiguration, taking careful notes for class. The chapter intrigued her. She loved transfiguration despite its being(according to Headmistress McGonagall) the most dangerous subject at school. Perhaps she enjoyed it for that very reason, either way, she had been incredibly excited for N.E.W.T level curriculum. Of course, everything was slightly more difficult than she’d imagined, but that only mean she had to work harder, which Evadne would never consider a bad thing. The subjects they had already covered this year only left her wanting more, even if they’d been tough subjects. Her other classes had been similar and she’d found it difficult at times to keep up with the workload. Still, she couldn’t fathom dropping any one of her classes. She’s already had to leave behind classes she’d received high marks in during O.W.Ls like Astronomy and a History of Magic. Those two classes had been knocked off her list of classes when N.E.W.T classes had to be picked.

The library wasn’t a place Andy visited much unless she wanted something. Usually it was for some charm or spell for some sort of prank or to make her life easier. She wasn’t exactly the studious type. School came easy to her. She didn’t have to study too hard in order to place high on her tests. To her, magic just made too much sense and she got things quick. There was also the whole not being able to sit still for a long time that made things difficult. If it was a practice class, where wand work or some sort of moving was going on, no problem. But theory classes? Andy was just not the type of person for it. Today, Andy was in the transfiguration section of the library. For what? Well, Andy wanted to know if there was any charms that could be applied to changing one’s hair color for a little bit, or if there were spells to help it grow longer or short depending on your fancy for the day. It was a genuine interest of hers and she knew it could be done, she’d seen hair stylist do it before on her mother. She just needed to know where to find it.

She spent her morning looking for the transfiguration books connected to human and appearance. Once she had one of two, Andy made her way to the area of chairs and tables. She was going to see how long she could sit down and search through a book. Her blue eyes went from one table to another until they landed on a certain witch Andy loved seeing. “Evie. Evie. Evie Evie.” Andy sang skipped as she made her way over to the younger witch. Some people gave Andy a glare, but she shrugged at them and just continued on with her shenanigans. “Evie. Evie. Evie.” She sat down and looked at the girl. Same blue eyes. That had to be in their blood. There was no way around that. “Are you being a boring ol’ Ravenclaw again?” she gave her cousin a look before setting her books onto the table. “You know what that does to your health, right?” she flipped opened her first book. “It makes you old and your soul dreadful.” She shook her head. Her fingers trailed the table of contents of her own book. “Good thing I found you when I did.” She nodded before turning to her desirous page. Andy leaned back in her chair and propped her legs up onto the table allowing Andy to leaning back properly. “We’re gonna look for transfiguration spells that apply to hair and style.” She gave her cousin a wink and slid her the other book she found.

TAG: @andy WORDS: 306 NOTES: Yay, cousins!!

A familiar figure with a purposeful walk caught Evadne’s eye as she was settling back into homework. A cross between a smile and a frown pulled at her lips as she chant skipped her way over. Students around Ev glared at her cousin and a few even glared at her despite her not actually doing anything. “Hi, Andy.” She answered simply.
An amused smirk danced over her lips as her cousin sat down. Her brow lifted at the older girl’s accusation and explanation. “You know. Being a Ravenclaw is a good thing in my book.” She shook her head at her cousin. Her arms folded as Andromeda explained their quest. They’d touched on Human Transfiguration this year a bit. Mostly on hair color, mastering changing their eyebrow colors before moving on. Evadne, of course, had moved on to her hair, adding pink highlights. “You mean Crinus Muto? Not to be confused with Crinus Musto, of course.” What need had she of nice facial hair? Nothing. Though, some of the boys might love to know that one.
“And multicorfors for clothing color and style?” She pulled the book offered to her and flicked to the chapter she needed. “Right here.” She said. “There are a few more there too. They aren’t too difficult. Just takes some concentration so you don’t get the wrong result.” In reality, many of these spells were quite difficult but it just didn’t seem hard to Evadne.
“I’m going to ask Professor Lafayette if he’ll help me become an Animagus. I don’t know if he’ll let me do it this year. I really want to though.” She commented as she read a passage she’d read only a few months ago. “Oh. I was just thinking. What parties are going on this week end? I need to unwind, it’s been such a long week.”

Sometimes Andy wasn’t the best to have around. In actuality, Andy wasn’t the best suited for quiet places. It took all her self control to, at least, behave, somewhat. The blonde was just a mess of wanting to live life and just enjoy it. She couldn’t help herself, and sometimes the people around her had to deal with it. But to be fair, there was at least one point where Andy apologized for some of her behavior. Despite the glares, Andy kept her smile and head high.

Andy shrugged her shoulders. All the Ravenclaws she knew were obsessed with studying and grades. But then again, so were some others. Namely, her brother. He was constantly on her back to her stuff done, even when Andy should no motivation. It never ended well. Nate always ended up cleaning her mess.

“Well, look at that. Maybe being a Ravenclaw can be good in my book too.” She joked when Eva pointed out the spells to her. Andy was realitvely gifted in magic. She actually loved it. She just never put in enough effort. It also didn’t help that her wand work came naturally and easily. That was always a problem. Andy didn’t practice much and still ended up excelling with a wand. She just needed a few tries and she had it all going good.

Andy took the book from her and grinned looking over the pages. Maybe she will stuff some magic. It couldn’t help, especially when these spells would come in handy during her life. She did love fashion and she loved dressing up. Maybe she could end up doing something with that. “Thanks babe.” She said as she flicked through a few pages.

Her eyes rose from her new favorite book and eyed the brunette. “Animagus?” Andy was definitely interested. “That’s a lot of effort.” She gave her a look of being impressed before looking back down at her book. “I’m sure he’d help, though, ‘grown ups’ are hesitant to help us do anything fun.” She shrugged and turned to another page.

Oh Eva. “Parties? Well, there is that lovey dovey dance.” She nodded. That was much of what she knew as of now, but sometimes after parties happened. She threw a few herself last year. “But honestly, if that’s a dud, I’m sure Jasper and I can whip something up. Most of the seventh years would be down.”
