[A canon retelling starting in PoA through DH, with a Harry that's just a bit more perceptive, a Sirius with changed priorities, and a caring Theo]

Closed Starter : Salazar & Godric ( @wvsteria )

Salazar laughed, almost awkwardly, "I'm sorry, do we know each other?" he asked the man in front of him, "I'm sure we haven't met yet you look at me like we've known each other for years."

godric & dorian ( @wvsteria )

"I'm still trying to get used to this place," godric mused, looking at the other. "it's strange being here, around all of these new things,"

@wvsteria / columbina & godric jail starter

"i am truly sorry, i'm just not quite sure what you hope to get out of coming here." columbina said, demure and almost quiet in the moment. to her knowledge a tour of people close to the victims wasn't typically how these sorts of things ended, but that sure seemed to be the case now. still, she stayed passive and kind, apologizing to anyone came in even if she personally knew the words rang hollow. "it's just, i can't even offer closure in regards to why i did it. i was completely out of control."

muse reactions || not accepting

she hadn’t meant to fall asleep at all, book still open in her lap as she had dozed off. it wasn’t until godric was shaking her awake that rowena even realized-- she shot up, book falling off of her lap, wiping at the tears that dampened her face, hair stuck to the back of her neck in sweat. she took a moment, taking in her surroundings, almost bewildered before she fully understood what had happened. “what-- i’m sorry. i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to startle you.”

Location: James’s house Godric’s Hollow Date: June 25th, 1984, sometime around 3 am @perniciouspotter​, @lcnelylass​, @gidprxwett​​

Emmeline couldn’t quite believe that the last twenty four hours had been real. It was strange to think about last night, when she had stayed up most of the night worrying about the mission and obsessing over everything that could go wrong. And go wrong it had. But they had made it through. All of them. After so many hours of sitting idly at headquarters, waiting for the mission to start and then the adrenaline packed hours of taking care of the injured, Emme’s head was swimming. Twenty four hours ago she hadn’t kissed Dirk Cresswell, which was another thing that she couldn’t quite believe that she had done. What was Nicky going to do when she found out that Emme had kissed her boyfriend? That was a whole other worry that she would have to deal with at some point.

It had been a spontaneous decision, that they had all ended up at James’s place in Godric’s Hollow. Emme had known from the moment that Lily had come into the infrimary that she would go wherever James went tonight. Whether that was his place or hers, Emme wasn’t going to let James be alone. They had been on their way out of the estate after the debrief meeting when they had run into Marlene and Gideon, and James and Emme had only had to look at each other for a moment, both thinking the same thing, when they had told them to come with them. Gideon had said he would come by in a bit, but Marlene had come along with them.

It was nice, being in the same room as the others without other people around. It had been too long since they had all been together. Without bars separating them. This room was full of the only people that truly understood Emme, and she felt a surge of love for them. Emme was curled up on James’s couch, when he walked into the room. “Do you have snacks?” Emme couldn’t remember the last time that she had eaten something. “If you don’t have anything we should send Gideon a message to bring snacks. Nicky filled the cupboards at the estate,” she explained, a look of guilt crossing her face as she thought about Nicky and Emme’s betrayal. “On second thought....” she trailed off. “Maybe we shouldn’t steal from it.”

helena ravenclaw && godric gryffindor (( @ofxscavengcrs ))

“did you have a nice festive period?” helena asked as she approached the other with a smile on her face, holding out a gift for him. “I’m sorry it’s late! I had an exam first thing this year, so it was quite busy!” it was a silly gift, she’d seen the small lion ornament in a thrift shop and had to pick it up for the other.

who: @talestold (alys mormont) where: stables before the horse race

Going against all his instincts, Godric had not entered himself in all the events of week. Restraint was the name of the game, and despite his competitive nature, had only found himself signing up for two of the competitions, jousting and the maze race. He would be lying if he said he was not a hint jealous of Alys as he watched them prepare for the horse race. But he was sure they'd do both House Stark and Mormont proud.

"Alys, I beg of you, please beat my brother's sorry arse. I am in desperate need of something new to hold over his head."

Closed Starter: Xenophilius & Godric ( @wvsteria )

"What on earth?" Xenophilius muttered to himself, feeling the back of his head as he felt some pressure, "Did you see who threw that?" he asked, looking towards someone nearby.

godric & maddie ( @rcvcrics )

"sorry, did you say something?" he asked, blinking a few times as he looked at the other. godric had been so deep in thought.

for @wvsteria continued from here !

"and godric trust me when i say you were a sight for sore eyes ." she sighed although ches truly meant each and every word . "i would leave salazar behind , yes . i wish i could have a long time ago , but unfortunately i had no choice back home ..." it was awful , feeling like a prisoner in her own ill-conceived marriage . "i'd leave helga behind . i don't know what to make of her and sal's love affair . i'd leave rowena behind - she seems to view me as some wounded bird without salazar ." francesca gave a roll of her eyes . "maybe you can give me new reason to stay ."

misc. actions || still accepting

rowena didn’t speak of helena’s betrayal with any of her friends, an action against her that she refused to disclose to anyone. no one needed to know the real reason helena had left. all they knew was she had passed while away from home. but learning that rowena had been the one to send helena’s killer to her-- all of it weighed heavily on her, and while she feared telling the truth to her friends, perhaps it was time. her head leaned against godric’s shoulder, wiping at her eyes as reality settled around her. “helena’s here.”
