~ @potentialbreakupscng || " one rejection isn't the end of the world." - hermione ~
"It's one rejection more than I needed right now." Harry rested his head back against the cushions, pushing his glasses up into his hair so that he could rub at his eyes. He'd been hoping to put himself back out there, get dating again, build his confidence back up after the war.
... He'd also heard that Ginny was dating someone so that had put a bit of a push on him to try and get back on the horse. It was, however, more difficult than he'd assumed.
"I don't know how to talk to women. I mean I should've been figuring all of this out when I was in my teens, not now - I feel like I'm behind everyone else because I still get tongue-tied talking to someone I fancy."

@potentialbreakupscng said: “I see you. I know you feel so invisible all the time, but you’re not. Not to me.” - snily
The words take him by surprise. Dark eyes blink, trying to process what she said, but also not take it the wrong way or let his emotions take control of him. If anything, Severus is touched by her words, having always wanted to hear how much he means to her, but yet, there is a part of him that feels he doesn't deserve it. "Lily...I...thank you." He softly says, cursing himself for not saying it in a collected manner.

~ @potentialbreakupscng || [𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦 ] : sender is helping the receiver through a panic attack / severe anxiety. ( reverse from sirius for remus ) ~
"Hey, hey - It's okay - I'm here -" Remus drops to a kneel beside the sofa, eyes looking up to find Sirius's gaze. Hands reach to wrap around his knuckles, giving him space but letting him know that he's there. "Look at me, Pads." His voice is soft, squeezing Sirius's hand as the other comes to cup his jaw. "Breathe with me." He murmurs, counting the breaths with him as he keeps their gaze locked together. "Squeeze my hand if you need to."

[ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐭𝐡 ] : sender drapes a coat / cape / etc. around receiver's shoulders. -draco
IT SERVES HER RIGHT FOR SUGGESTING THEY WALK BACK TO HER FLAT RATHER THAN APPARATE, BUT IN HER DEFENCE, SHE'D THOUGHT IT'D BE ROMANTIC. Hermione tries her best to subtly ward off against the cold, not wanting to ruin the moment by pulling out her wand and casting a warming charm on herself, fearing it would ruin the easy flow of conversation they'd fallen into. He seems unaffected by the chill in the night air, but she supposes she is abysmally underdressed for it, choosing a dress that's more style than practical (Ginny had practically jumped for joy at that).
Of course, she's not nearly as discreet as she thinks she is, and he pulls them to a stop when he notices her wrap her arms around herself. Her instinctive protests about not being that cold come to a screeching halt as he slips his jacket off and drapes it over her shoulders, scooping her hair in a gentle fistful and untucking it so that her curls aren't crushed beneath the weight of the fabric. It's a surprisingly thoughtful gesture atop an already sweet thing to do and she's momentarily speechless.
As @potentialbreakupscng straightens the jacket about her shoulders and she watches him, Hermione thinks he might be made for moonlight. The soft cool haze of the light gives a glow to his pale skin and his eyes deepened in blue rather than the usual grey, lashes casting dark shadows upon the sharpness of his cheekbones. She's very suddenly no longer regretting her idea for a late night stroll.
"I hope you're not expecting that move will get you invited inside," Hermione eventually jokes, once she's regained the ability to think of anything besides the way the white strands of his hair tickle his eyebrows. "I don't shag on the first date, you know."

sirius is tipsy , but james is drunk . best man duties have required him to remain at least slightly sober and it's an interesting change , to be the one supporting a drunken james potter rather than the nights spend in his arms ; dancing or shaking with misery , it doesn't matter . james has seen him in every state , but he watches the other man now and he thinks he likes this the best , how happy he is .
he's been sat alone for a while , taking it all in , a glass of champagne in hand as the room moves ceaselessly around him and he has an opportunity to sit amongst the madness and take a breath . he smiles when he feels the head upon his shoulder , reaching to wrap his arm around his best friend with a soft bell of laughter . " mate , you are steaming . "

#b - GIVE ME WHOEVER U WANT BBY
rabastan knows he is not the one, and he knows that clearly. he knows he is not the one she will choose in the end, but that does not mean he has to stop pursuing her surely. after all, she had not yet picked - there was still a chance he could be the chosen one. " come on 'dromeda, " he turns around and quickly reaches for her forearm to stop her from walking off, " i didn't mean to do that. " although it was a rather happy accident - and against ted tonks of all people. he knows that won't win him any 'brownie points', if anything it will make them get closer than they already were much to rabastan's dislike, but truthfully, he had not meant to send the latter to the hospital wing.
" i know the shit people tell you about me, " rabastan begins as he closes the gap between them, " that all i care about is winning whatever competition they think this is between tonks and i. " but it's not like that. not for him, not from his perspective. rabastan was, truly, interested in the latter. reaching up to grab her chin, he tilts her head back slightly so he can catch her gaze and leans in to press a little peck to her lips to send his message across as clearly as possible. " but i love you. baby, i'm not a monster. " as much as people enjoyed painting him in such light.
rabastan lestrange, playing monster to @potentialbreakupscng !

“I’m the nicest, sweetest, most rage-filled person I know.”
@potentialbreakupscng
It was difficult to say whether James Potter was more insufferable when he was pursuing Lily or when he was actually with her. He and Sirius had started a list at one point, but naturally Pads got bored before they reached a conclusion. They both agreed she brought out the best in him though (even if that best happened to include a lot of mooning and pining), and they'd embraced the match whole-heartedly-- even Sirius, who seemed to have gotten over whatever initial jealousy he'd had about sharing his best friend.
That in no way meant he was an easy sort of person to live with. Remus had spent seven years with both of them and Peter and was quite glad to pass some of that responsibility on to Lily. He wasn't the least bit surprised to find her seeking peace in the Muggle bookshop where he worked. It was easier to persuade employers to give him a chance there, but he knew it was only a matter of time when he started missing shifts each month. Working weekends meant there was no one around to entertain Sirius, however, and he had no doubt he'd managed to rope James into something.
He was shelving books with magic since the store was empty except for the two of them, and he hummed thoughtfully as he sent a few volumes to the top shelf. "Does this rage also go by the names of James Potter and Sirius Black?"

❝i know it comes easy, but try not to play dumb with me.❞
@potentialbreakupscng
The sun was barely up when Sirius eased the door of Moony's room shut behind him. This had been going on for weeks, one or the other of them sneaking back to their own beds before dawn. They'd spoken about it, and there were a number of reasons they'd decided to wait on telling their friends. Everyone in the world knew that Sirius Black was a freewheeling bisexual, probably even his heinous mother at this point. He hadn't exactly been subtle about it when he was sleeping his way through Gryffindor tower in their sixth year. Remus had always been more of a closed book though, and they were both hesitant to disrupt the delicate balance that was living with five roommates.
Deep down, though, Sirius knew he was just afraid. He was afraid this was some kind of fever dream, and he'd wake to discover that Moony had changed his mind about wanting to be with him after all. It wasn't exactly rational, but neither was being desperately, hopelessly in love with his best friend for half his life. The fear of abandonment ran deep for both of them, and right now, it just seemed simpler, safer, to keep it between them, a secret more magical than anything he'd learned at Hogwarts.
He froze at the sound of Lily's voice, his gaze guiltily traveling from her feet up to her face, wearing an expression he couldn't immediately decipher. Usually, he was better at thinking on his feet, and he'd sweet talked, bribed, or threatened his way out of detention more times than he could count. Instead, the best he could come up with at the moment was to echo her last words to buy himself a few more moments to think. "Play dumb?" he repeated, with an innocence that would have fooled no one who actually knew him.

@potentialbreakupscng ♥ ( KATHERINE )
liked for a starter
"You're not Elena." It was a statement that fell past her lips upon stumbling across the familiar face. Eva had thought nothing of it at first - thinking that Elena merely had helped herself into her home to find Stefan (he wasn't there) - but something quickly began to feel ... off about the brunette. For one, she didn't smell like the human Elena did. Eva's bright green eyes narrowed into slits, "Who the bloody hell are you?"

"Romantic? How romantic could Viktor Krum be?" Ron snorted out a huff of annoyance. "I don't know if you've noticed, Hermione, but he's not exactly the world's most creative bloke. What did he do, flex his pecs at you and tell you you look beautiful? Because that's not romantic."

Lily cups his cheek, green eyes looking up into his hazel ones. It's been rough since they've practically been stuck inside the house and are going stir crazy because of it. However, her husbands words hit her at her core, giving him a small smile. "I could say the same about you too. Don't worry, we will get through this--together. Besides, Harry needs us both. He needs you to teach him all these is about Quidditch and I'll help him with Potions."

~ @potentialbreakupscng || "My diagnosis is exhaustion, brought on from overwork and guilt." - from moony ~
"I don't want to listen to your diagnosis, I'm fine." Sirius mutters, stubbornness set in his expression. He's been spreading himself too thin. He can feel his body fading, threatening to shut down, but he can't stop. He's almost manic, trying to keep his friends safe, trying to find news of Regulus, wearing himself down from worrying about things that he cannot control. "Stop looking at me like that, Remus - I mean it, I'm fine."

[ 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 ] : sender is getting frustrated with their repressed affection and asks receiver to leave them alone. -draco
"IT'S MY OFFICE TOO, MALFOY," she snaps it at him, her hands curl into fists by her side, her chin tilting upwards in that way that helps her feel larger than she actually is. That gives her some semblance of feeling that she's in control. Something she's desperate for wheen it comes to @potentialbreakupscng. He's insufferable. Incorrigible. Wholly impossible at times. She cannot stand him. She cannot stand to be apart from him. When she's around him she's never felt less in control. And it's driving her mad.
"I don't get it. One moment you're moody and silent, the next you're actually bearable to talk to and the one after that you're " brushing his fingertips against the back of knuckles and looking at her like she's the only thing in the world. "And now you're being horrible again. The way you used to be. Whatever this mood you're in lately is, you need to figure it out because I can't keep up anymore," and she's tired of being treated as if her confusion over his erratic behaviour is somehow her problem.

he jumps , twitchy in his own skin . the grief has not yet subsided and he still feels a gut wrenching fear in the pits of himself . so angry it sets his skin alight , and he does not want to burden moony with it — so he bears it how he always does ; isolates himself , sits in the darkness of the things his parents did to him , of the loss of james and lily as though remus hasn't been mourning as well . a healthier fashion than sirius , as is the way of the world . it must revolve around his feelings and his fears , his grief must settle over the both of them like a soaked blanket , weighing them down with the insurmountable pressure of it .
standing over harry's crib , sirius pretends he did not flinch at his lover's touch , instead reaches up to press his hand to the long and scarred fingers on his shoulders , brushes his own so cold and pale across his before swiftly pulling away . " didn't hear you , " he says quietly , tone dull and flat . he lost his musical lightness with james , fears he lost everything . " i'm sorry i — was in another world . he needs to be fed . . . " the excuse presents itself , and sirius picks up harry from his crib , cradling the precious boy in his skinny arms before glancing almost nervously up at remus . he does not want another fight , but it is clear that the grief is making him push the taller man from him . how can he be happy after all of this ? how can he deserve him ? " sorry . " he says again , shaky this time as he leans up to kiss him gently before carrying harry from the bedroom .

"Life is too cruel, if we cease to believe in love, why would we want to live?" - hopeless romantic cissy to bella
she truly cannot help the eye roll. " please, cut it out. " she almost whines in protest, " you have been a fool over that blonde boy ever since he happened to look at you once on the train. he barely ever looked at you again! " the black sister scolds. she means no harm really, and as well off as narcissa would be with lucius, she can't say she's keen on seeing them 'down each other's throats' every other hour of the day in the common room. plus, lucius... she had heard rumours of him shagging another girl, so that wasn't the kind of heartache she wanted for her sibling. narcissa, actually, deserved better than that.
" couldn't you have picked someone else other than malfoy? he's older than you and way out of your league. " hopefully that would cut off her lovey-dovey, rose-tinted glass view. " don't you have something more interesting to talk about? " a brow raises as she watches her sister, " or perhaps someone else? if i have to sit here and hear you speak nonsense, then at least make it somewhat interesting. " bellatrix was not versed in 'love' nor was she interested in such.
bellatrix black replied to narcissa black through @potentialbreakupscng !
