.‡E S T E L L E‡. "The Lamb"
once upon a time these two were as thick as thieves. inseparable. unstoppable. that is, until their world came crashing down. it was their second year at Hogwarts and one thing led to another, a huge fight broke out, feelings were hurt, and a great friendship was lost. to be quite honest, he isn't even quite sure what the fight had even been about, but that doesn't matter because it's taken its toll. since then, graham has made it a point to expand his horizons, branching out to establish new friendships, avoiding estelle at just about all costs. his feelings for her are conflicted, but for now they will remain fairly negative.

.‡L I B E R T Y‡. "Lightning"
graham is fairly fond of liberty as she is his twin's dearest friend. this means that he's been able to get quite close with the slytherin and enjoys her company from time to time. he does, however, have a sneaking suspicion that she may have more than just friendly feelings and intentions towards his awkward sibling. ever the protector, he isn't afraid to lay down the law with liberty in order to shield wren. now that they're fifth years, he's made his own solid group of friends and only really sees liberty around their house on holidays or if wren makes it a point to bring her around.

.‡C H I S A K I‡. "Fire"
graham doesn't feel particularly one way or the other about chisaki. simply based on his preconceived notions about hufflepuffs, he isn't the greatest fan. he can appreciate the boy's athletically ability, however, and his charming personality. should they get to know each other better, they'd probably become fast friends. Unfortunately, the way in which Chi has treated Astra has made him biased towards the girl’s plight. Being far greater friends with her, he wouldn’t hesitate to destroy the boy.

.‡W R E N‡. "Thunder"
wren, wren, wren. where to begin. graham loves his twin so fiercely. they have the typical brother/sister dynamic, lots of teasing and play fighting and getting on each other's nerves. but he loves her dearly and would lay down his life to keep her safe. he's made it his mission to look out for her. he is, after all, the oldest by ten minutes. therefore, it is his sacred duty to protect his little sister.

.‡A S T R A‡. "Ice"
for starters, she shares his mother's name so that's automatically a point in her favor. for another, she loves quidditch. she's gorgeous, well mannered, mature beyond her years. what's not to like? her feisty side is what appeals to him the most, and if he wasn't so caught up in his feelings for estelle he would definitely consider pursuing her. for now, he's more than proud to call her a friend.

i'm gonna do estelle's relationships and then we can start c:

[este11e]

✓ positive | ✘ negative | ● neutral | ♥ romantic interest

liberty hudson ✓
estelle has taken quite the liking towards her fellow slytherin. she finds herself constantly fighting the urge to shove her and a certain other girl into a broom closet alone together but alas, she hasn't. although estelle rarely shows much emotion or kindness, she smiles at liberty in the hallways and definitely tolerates her.

wren barrett ●
if it wasn't for her brother, estelle wouldn't have a single issue with wren. the two used to be decently close in proximity because estelle was frequently over at their house to see her brother back in the days when they were still friends. since the two girls didn't have a close friendship, they drifted apart as well. estelle still sees wren around the hallways and can't help but think about graham, as much as she hates it.

chisai kai ●/✘
she really doesn't have anything against him. being the girl she is, she's a bit iffy around him because of his social awkwardness and the fact that he's a hufflepuff. she doesn't know him very well at all but she recognizes him amongst the halls.

graham barrett ✘/♥ (future)
oh boy, when it comes to graham, she definitely has a lot to say. estelle used to consider him one of her closest friends when they were younger, up until second year when they got into a nasty fight and stopped talking ever since. after that, she convinced herself that she absolutely loathed him. if you ask her what she thinks about him she'd most likely tell you that he's an "intolerable prat" and walk away. deep down, she misses him dearly, but she's way too stubborn to admit it.

estelle had an organized and orderly morning routine. she woke up just before sunrise, before anyone else in her dorm, and got ready for the day every morning in time to watch the sunrise outside. today was no different. she quietly pushed back the curtains on her four poster bed, stepping out into the cold marble floors. the slytherin dorms were quite exquisite and she shared hers with only one other roommate which was very convenient. she stared out of the large glass window into the lake which glowed into their room all the time. sometimes the mermaids were a bit annoying, but for the most part, they left estelle and her roommate alone. she quietly pulled on her uniform and changed out of her pajamas, a simple oversized shirt that a boy had given her in hopes of winning her over. a simple t-shirt wouldn't do the job, but she took it anyways. it was very comfortable. she slipped on her socks and shoes and walked into the bathroom, brushing out her silky black hair and brushing her teeth, washing her face, etc. she left her dorm after petting her cat and feeding the little kitten, heading up to the great hall. the sun was beginning to peek over the horizon when she quietly made her way up to the bridge, sitting up on the ledge to watch the sun. she sighed, resting her head in her hands. it was going to be a long year.

☞GRAHAM had found himself a comfortable seat at Gryffindor's table in the Great Hall. Having given himself ample time before his first class of the day, the tall, suave, debonair flirt now relaxed happily against the warmth of the worn bench seat, one leg kicked up lazily against the other bench. A large hand floated towards his neck, fiddling aimlessly with his loose tie, his other hand skimming through the Daily Prophet. The fierce Gryffindor hadn't heard anything from Wren yet that day, though he wouldn't consider that unusual. Typically she could be found running in the mornings and then by Liberty's beck and call for the rest of the day. If he ever wanted the find Wren, he simply had to find Liberty. A soft chuckle passed his slightly chapped lips at the image of the inseparable pair, a soft shake of his head setting his dirty blonde locks bouncing about lightly. Folding the newspaper along its crease, he set it aside in order to dig in. Ever the growing young man, by the time he'd selected all that he wanted for breakfast he had about two whole plates worth of various delicacies. Munching steadily on an. apple, he took the opportunity to let his piercing eyes wander the hall as a handful of people trickled in. As if with a sixth sense, his gaze stopped abruptly on familiar dark hair and perfect skin. As soon as she had appeared, she was gone. Graham blew hot air out of his nostrils, grumbling to himself as he turned back towards his meal.

☞WREN had risen with the sun as she did most mornings for her run. The athlete had begun this trend roughly two years ago in an attempt to maximize her speed and endurance. Though she could personally see no marked improvement in her abilities, it had become something of a habit that she couldn’t be bothered to break. In her eyes any exercise was good exercise. The sun, having now begun its ascent, was already beating down on her tall figure as she trekked through the various terrains of Hogwarts school grounds. Steep hills, sharp drops, and slippery grass all made for an interesting test of her adaptability. All that accompanied her was the music blasting in her headphones and the steady beat of her feet hitting the stone steps or pavement of the dull grass. Mind blank, the brunette simply allowed her feet to carry her where they may. Eventually Wren found herself looping back towards the school itself. As Wren approached the nearest, she deliberately slowed her pace even more, turning her gaze to the left slightly towards the girl’s wing. When she spotted the familiar window, the ever-awkward Wren smiled softly before tripping over her own feet, unable to hide her clumsiness. Praying to whatever entity was out there in the cosmos, she hoped that no one noticed her. By some miracle the Ravenclaw caught herself before her knees could greet the stone below. Thoroughly mortified, Wren collected herself before glancing back towards the girl's dorm of the Slytherin dungeon, hoping to catch a glimpse of her best friend.

liberty awoke to the gentle swish of her cat salem's tail under her nose. lifting her head from her desk groggily, liberty scrunched up her nose at the cat, who leapt down from her desk and toward her ankles, purring contentedly. "salem, you furry menace," she groaned quietly as she lifted her head from her books confusedly, before realizing that she'd fallen asleep while studying again. liberty vaguely remembered studying for the o.w.l.s; something about potions (amortentia?), and the vague, sweet scent that she associated with her best friend. "wren?" she called out hopefully, hoping that the girl had stayed over and studied as well, like they'd done before countless of times. unfortunately she had no such luck. liberty deflated significantly, letting out a small sigh before swinging her legs over the cosy chair and standing up. well, at least she didn't have to change.

parting her hair over her shoulder, liberty gathered her books neatly and muttered a tired 'leviosa', placing them in her satchel before making her way out of the slytherin common room. classes hadn't started yet, so she hoped to catch a glimpse of wren before they headed off to potions; the athletic girl had probably just finished her run, and although liberty would loved to have joined her, the slytherin was the absolute opposite of a morning person. her eyes brightened up as they settled on the ravenclaw she was looking for. "wren!" she smiled brightly, making her way over to the ravenclaw and giving her a tight hug. a faint blush dusted her freckled cheeks as she pulled away. "i still don't understand how you can wake up so early. you're practically my idol," she grinned.

the sun had finally risen and estelle found her way down from the bridge and back into the great hall, sitting down at the slytherin table with a group of chattering girls who immediately made room for her, to her surprise. just as she sat down, she locked eyes with a certain gryffindor and froze for a moment before quickly looking away as if nothing had happened. she quietly ate a meager apple and had a bit of pumpkin juice before she stood up, smoothed her skirt, and abruptly left the great hall. it was common that she would spend some time in the library, reading whatever she could get her hands on to solve the boredom, while waiting for classes to begin. but ever since she saw graham that morning, he kept crossing her thoughts. she had tried so hard, for years, to hate him, and yet still, part of her didn't. she didn't understand why. something about that brunette gryffindor dragged her back to him from time to time, as much as she didn't want to admit it, she definitely missed him.

☞GRAHAM had lost his appetite the moment the eye contact was made. And what a shame it was, a whole plate of food gone to waste. With an agitated huff, the charming young man shot to his feet, towering above most of the great hall. Tightening his Gryffindor tie, he grabbed his satchel and the newspaper, shoving it into the worn bag. Quickly, he turned on his heel and stalked out of the hall, his feet echoing thunderously as he stalked with purpose. The rugged boy marched himself in the direction that took him furthest from the library in hopes of avoiding any more undesirable run-ins with Estelle and finding a friend to brighten his quickly souring mood. Anyone besides her would do at this point. Graham sulked, his blue eyes turning dark and stormy as he recalled the way she'd barely been able to look at him. Blood beginning to boil, he huffed angrily to no one in particular. Perhaps the quidditch pitch could help reduce some of the building tension.

☞WREN had waited patiently for her other half to emerge, but time was running out for her to get showered and dressed for the day. The tall girl turned, dejected, and began to drag her feet down the long corridor, her sole footsteps echoing in the empty space. Suddenly, her name and an all too familiar voice caught her attention. Immediately, the Ravenclaw assumes her full height, a goofy lopsided grin spreading so quickly across her pale lips. “Hey there stranger!” She shot back, trying to mask her sheer joy at seeing Liberty. Wren wrote off the heat in her cheeks and the hammering of her heart as nothing more than her body recovering from the run. As nimble arms wrapped around her midriff, she convinced herself that the butterflies fluttering around in her stomach were merely from hunger. The taller of the two wrapped her strong arms around the redhead, giving her a quick squeeze. As Liberty pulled away, the painfully awkward lovesick puppy rubbed the back of her neck warily, the dumb smile still plastered on her lips. With perceptive eyes, she caught sight of the light pink that tinted the smaller girl's cheeks, taking a moment to admire the way it complimented her face full of freckles. Wren had bit of a thing for details...

“I’m sorry I’m so sweaty. I could give you a better hug if I was all clean.” She quickly blurted out, trying to mask the fact that she’d stared at the redhead for just a beat longer than was appropriate. The Ravenclaw couldn’t quite help herself. It wasn’t her fault that the Slytherin looked like an angel in her uniform. At Liberty’s awe, Wren couldn’t help but snort and allow her dark eyes to roll. “It’s not so bad really. You just have to force yourself to get up for a week or two and then it becomes habit. I’m sure if you actually tried you could do it too.” She quickly brushed off the compliment, managing to throw a jab at her favorite companion in the process. “Maybe I’ll be able to actually drag you out with me one of these days.” She added, more than willing to add a running partner to her morning routine, especially if said partner was a small redhead. “Anyways, I’ve gotta get a quick shower in before potions because I refuse to look like a hot sweaty mess in front of everyone.” She grunted softly with a resolute shake of her head. “Want to tag along? I’ll even let you pick out my outfit. Maybe we can even go get you a plate of breakfast?” She offered, knowing that there really weren’t many options when it came to the uniform, but it was the best she could do in terms of bribing Liberty to wait around for her.

had she not been such a bitter slytherin, perhaps estelle's eyes would've filled with tears. but, she was good at masking her emotions and way too stubborn to admit that it hurt, so she huffed as she walked away, her uniform shoes clicking against the polished stone floors. she found her way to her spot in the back of the library, near the restricted section. no one bothered her there and she could read in peace. well apparently that was not today's plan. she picked a book from the shelf and sat back down in the large chair, her small frame barely filling it and making it look more huge than it was. as estelle began to get into it, she suddenly heard voices and sharply looked up to see a group of fifth-year gryffindor boys chatting amongst themselves and looking at her. she could tell that they were talking about her and suddenly one puffed up his chest and walked over to her. he had dirty blonde hair and amber eyes. he certainly wasn't bad looking, but not her type. his confidence was already bothering her. "good morning. what's a pretty bird like you doing all alone?" he asked. she chuckled dryly. "trying to read. alone. privately. in peace." she said, clearly annoyed. "mind if i accompany you?" he asked again. "yes, i do mind. in fact, i'll be on my way." she said, huffing, and getting up. she put her book away and crossed her arms, grabbing her bag and walking away. "godrick's sake. i try to be nice and this is what i get. stupid witch." he muttered, loudly enough for her to hear. she laughed and continued to walk away, heading towards her first class. she passed over the bridge once more, looking out over the quidditch pitch and recognized graham again. oh no, not today. i am not dealing with this. she thought to herself, tearing her eyes away.

liberty couldn't hide her humongous smile at seeing the ravenclaw; her face was still flushed and her hair disheveled from her previous run, but in liberty's eyes there wasn't anything that could look more beautiful than her best friend; whoever managed to steal her heart would be lucky, liberty thought to herself, feeling a twinge of jealousy before she quickly shoved it away. "you don't have to apologize, wren," liberty shook her head at her best friend as she smiled. wren had always been a little insecure; sometimes liberty just wanted to grab her by the face and tell her how absolutely wonderful she was: not that she didn't do that often. "honestly, i don't even remember if i showered last night: fell asleep at my desk- again," she said miserably, rubbing her eyes sleepily. sometimes liberty's ambitiousness got the best of her, and oftentimes her best friend had to literally drag her away from her desk ("just five more minutes of studying, wren!").

"well, if i ran with you, i guess it wouldn't be so bad..." she mused, winking at wren before she could realize what she'd potentially implied. a rosy blush spread across liberty's cheeks again, but she didn't correct herself. hopefully wren wouldn't notice? "well, if you can drag me out, i'll go running with you," liberty teased. wren was slightly shorter than her, and although they were close in weight, liberty was almost impossible to move if she didn't want to. well, at least in this situation, she wouldn't mind running, especially if it was just her and wren...

"i'll tag along with you, and we can head to potions after," liberty readily agreed as she quickened her pace to match wren's. "i'd be more than glad to pick your outfit: hmm, blue and bronze, or bronze and blue?" she teased wren, lightly bumping the ravenclaw's shoulder with her own affectionately. she'd take any excuse to be with wren, honestly- the two were near inseparable and liberty would like to keep it that way. "shower first, and breakfast after? hopefully we'll make it to potions on time; i heard we're brewing amortentia today.."
