 Post 1 + professoooooor Admiratrice des Maraudeurs | C-Rizzle | THE Best Snuggler
Ellery snapped out of her daze when the activity was called. She knew eXACTLY what animal she was modeling her "familiar" after, and she was not going to chicken out. She was going to CRY on the clay.
She went and got a handful from the front, then went back to her seat. Thinking sad things…Olly dying, Colin dying…she wibbled a little bit, but no tears were coming. Failure…her fathers being disappointed in her…her eyes started to water, but still no tears. FINE. She stared upwards and didn't blink, her eyes welling with water, but when she blinked, again, no tears spilled.
She took her right hand and slapped her face as hard as she could.
"Ah," she said with a wince, then tilted her head to droop over the clay. A tear dripped off her chin into the clay, but then, frighteningly, a red droplet joined it.
Oh, Merlin. Did she break her nose??? No, it was just a nosebleed, but… Oh, dear.
"Professor? I have a nosebleed." She kept her head tilted forward, letting a little more blood drip onto the clay because…well, that would make the bond SUPER strong, yeah? |
