 Don't let me hear you say life is taking you nowhere
“By the gods, that is a hideous skirt.” Amelia sneered at the third year who walked past their table with her friends donning an orange and green checked skirt. “She looks like she shat out a pumpkin.” Amelia and Jovi were having a girls day, having ditched their respective significant others for a day of frivolous shopping and gossip. It had been a relatively relaxing day thus far, especially owing to the fact that that prat Dwayne Davidson was spending his Hogsmeade day in detention instead of pestering her in the hopes that she would accept his invitation to a date. Amy watched the orange disaster, unable to look away much like witnessing the wreckage of a train, it was alluring in its monstrosity. Mercifully, the offending skirt and its counterpart disappeared behind the wall of a booth on the far side of the Three Broomsticks and Amelia’s eyes were saved the pain of having to watch it much longer. “She’s not going to get a Valentine’s date dressing like that. I don’t care who her parents are.” Amelia shook her head, having recognized the girl as a fellow Ravenclaw whose mother was a quidditch player for one of the minor professional teams in Britain.
“What have you got planned for Valentine’s day? Rory wants to take me out to dinner on the next Hogsmeade weekend, but he’s said sod all about the fourteenth. He’s not going to last much longer.” Amelia rolled her eyes at her own mention of her boyfriend and his stupid plans to woo her three days too late. They would probably end up at the tea shop or somewhere else that had been decorated like a bloody cliché. Merlin help him if he tried bringing her here for a romantic evening. She would dump him for Dwayne Davidson in a heartbeat, not because she had any interest in him at all, but because it would make Rory insane with jealousy. Amelia took a bite of her chocolate biscuit and wiped a few crumbs from the corner of her mouth after setting the rest of the biscuit back on her plate.

"Wretched!" Jovi scoffed, watching the monstrosity pass by. It was bloody awful and by Merlin's beard Jovi was tempted to burn it right now. She just wanted to unsheathe her wand and send a frightfully awful little spell at the hem of the ghastly fabric and watch the cheap material just catch ablaze and the girl along with it. As lovely and calming as it would be to hear the little tramp's agonising screams Jovi couldn't pull off something so devilishly fun right now because she was in public and it quite simply wasn't the right thing to be doing. Everyone was on edge, worried about all these attacks, even a lot of the purebloods seemed to be worried but Jovi wasn't, she rather hoped to witness something. As of yet she was still a virgin when it came to witnessing some kind of Death Eater massacre, which she supposed made her a virgin in some way. "It's fine, if she even attempts to leave her common room looking anything like that I'll pull her up on some kind of dodgy misdemeanour." She said, watching where the girl had disappeared, just incase she came back around but she didn't. Probably a good thing, Jovi might just have to pay someone to take care of that girls unpalatable sense of fashion and in a rather less than friendly manor.
Jovi shook her head and looked back to Amy. Valentine's was just around the corner and Jovi was yet to make any solid plans with her boyfriend. "Twatface Tom is yet to breath a word on the subject." She said, the disdain apparent in her tone, "Honestly, are all boys this dense or just quidditch players because honestly, I could do better. Sure Tim's rich and he's good at quidditch - might even be getting a spot on a professional team after graduation -" She added a little smugly but it wouldn't really matter if she dumped his pathetic arse, "But I need more! Great sex and a big bank account just don't cut it." She had completely missed that she'd called her boyfriend or nearly six months 'Tim' instead of 'Tom' - his actual name. The only reasons Jovi ever had a boyfriend was one, a good shag whenever she desired it, two, dating someone with equal popularity as herself meant she stayed popular, and three, the presents! If Tim, Tom, whatever his name was, couldn't pull off an incredible Valentine's for her then she was booting him and finding herself someone else. It was a shame Fin was already graduated and old, he was cute and would probably make an excellent boyfriend but dating someone that much older while still in school? - Ew! It so wasn't going to help her social status while in school and it would just make him look an utter creep, but in five months time she'd be graduated and then it didn't matter what pathetic school peers thought, he was a rich, pureblooded business man, a fellow sacred twenty-eight and a perfect match for messing around with. She just had to make sure Dora wouldn't get all jealous because for some reason she could never keep Fin as an actual boyfriend.

Don't let me hear you say life is taking you nowhere
Chewing silently as Jovi spoke, Amy gave a breathy sort of giggle and smiled, keeping her lips pressed together until her mouth was free of food. She could just picture Jovi standing outside the Ravenclaw common room, arms crossed and foot tapping, waiting for Miss Fashion Disaster to climb out of the tower so she could write her up for a detention for magic in the corridors or some other such nonsense. Of course, Amelia could do that as well, and she wouldn’t have to wait about for that nasty orange skirt to reappear, being in the same house as the girl and being a prefect. Sure, she hadn’t made Head Girl as Jovi did, a sour spot in their relationship to be sure, but as a prefect she too held a higher position over the other students, just like Jovi did. Amelia kept her thoughts on the matter to herself, suffering silently in her ongoing jealousy that really should have dissipated after this many months. They were nearing the end of the school year and here she was, still mildly jealous of her best friend.
“In my experience if they’ve got any brains at all they’re either dull as a bloody doorknob, ugly as sin, or older. Honestly, I cannot wait until we’ve graduated and have more opportunities to interact with intelligent people.” Amy gave a minor sneer as her eyes gave a subtle scan around the room filled with their peers. “It’s slim pickings for a brain at all around here, isn’t it?” By the end of her seventh year it was hard for Amelia to not feel as though she had outgrown the learning opportunities of Hogwarts. The vast majority of people she met in the halls, library, or courtyards were younger than her, with less life experiences to draw on (not that she had many herself, being stuck at the same boarding school as everyone else), and fewer years of magical education.

Jovi lifted her cup and saucer with her hands, resting the saucer in her left hand while she daintily slipped her fingers through and around the handle of the cup. She lifted the warm beverage to her lips, listening as Amy spoke only truth. Truly the pick around these parts now were slim. once they were off into the world there would be a far better selection of gentlemen, worthy of their time and efforts. Jovi would some day look forward to having a husband picked out for her if she didn't find someone before her parents selected someone, and even then they would have the ability to overrule her decision if they chose, but Jovi could not see herself ever falling in love, especially not with her current boyfriend or any of her past ones. She wasn't really on the look out for love, she wasn't even sure if she believed in love, but she did believe in good looks and money, and there were so few good looking men with an even more attractive bank account. Still a brain in a man would also be nice but there was no possible way there was someone with all three.
Setting her tea cup and saucer down on the table, watching carefully so as not to bang the china down on the table, Jovi nodded her head a couple of times, lips slightly pouted as she thought about a fair few of the handsome men that would possibly be a good suitor for her some day. Amelia probably wouldn't have such issues. Her older sister was still single so it was clear her parents weren't in a rush to marry their children off, though the older they got the less desirable they'd become. Perhaps Lizzie was just too old now, perhaps they'd learn their lesson and just send Amy off to the highest bidder. Probably not. Lizzie was still young, she was only two or three years older than Amy so she still had plenty of her youth left. Jovian rather thought the family all had quite common and rather Muggle-ish names. Perhaps there was avoidance from other families because they worried that the Greengrasses had muggle ties. Jovian had never suspected something of Amy. "Rather. I'm not sure the wider world has much more to offer either." She said truthfully, "There's a few good looking chaps but honestly, they're not all that bright, and the brighter ones tend to be lacking in the looks department." There were a choice of three things. Money. Looks. Smarts. You could pick two. "Fin Avery is good looking and wealthy but I'm not all that sure about his brains."

Don't let me hear you say life is taking you nowhere
Amelia simply refused to concede that her friend could be right. There had to be better options in the real world than what surrounded them now while they were at school. Unlike Jovi, Amelia believed in love and knew what she was worth, which meant she would not be sold off to anyone unworthy of intelligence, good looks, and stature. Social order also dictated that she not marry below her station either, which excluded roughly half the wizarding families in the UK. Simple numbers, however, told her there were more wizarding families than what was currently represented at Hogwarts, and Amy wasn’t so desperate for a good match that she was considering dating a younger bloke. She was rather traditional in that she believed the wizard should be older than the witch and be able to support the entire family on his own paycheck, though Amy had no intentions of being shut away as a house wife.
The mention of Fin Avery made Amy take pause and she smiled as she thought of the handsome bloke her sister had often hung around while they were in school. Amy didn’t see why those two hadn’t ever gotten into a relationship but it was Lizzie’s loss because Fin was quite honestly the closest thing Hogwarts had seen to the perfect package (and Amy had caught him swimming in the Black Lake a few times and judging by the bulge in his swimming trunks he most definitely had a perfect package). “He must have some level of intelligence to own his own business, mustn’t he?” Amy brought her teacup up to her lips and took a sip, feeling herself warm as she swallowed. “Then again, with his good looks and his family’s money, I might not be worried so much about his brains.” Amy giggled and took another sip of tea, again picturing Fin emerging from the lake, wet and shining in the early summer sun.

Intelligence to own a business? Jovi hardly thought so and her quirked right eyebrow suggested as such to Amelia. She was living in a fantasy world. Just because someone had a business did not mean that they were smart, it just meant they had money, which Fin obviously did from his father. Now if he had a string of clubs or businesses then that would be a completely different. If you could manage one business it was either luck or skill, it was hard to tell without looking at the finances and staff structure. Sometimes you could get a really good manager that would just run the whole thing smoothly, especially if you paid them enough which she suspected Fin could probably afford. Whether his club's success was because of his knowledge of brains or luck remained to be seen. At least Fin was fun to be around, perhaps someday she might actually have a conversation with him and find out if he had any smarts at all or if he was all charm. Probably not possible. It was kind of difficult to be around Fin without flirting. He was just some kind of irresistible with a blatant like for the ladies. Typical cute guy, she supposed. Or he was completely hiding the fact he was gay, which Jovi had thought on before. Of all the guys Fin really did take exceptionally good care of himself and his home and his best friend was Dora, a complete whore he'd never shagged. That seemed rather unusual for a womaniser to not shag a girl that was always up for it.
"Lysander Burke has a fair bit of potential." She stated, thinking of the blonde Slytherin in their year. "Smart enough, cute enough and from a well off family." Of course the draw back was he wasn't the heir, that fell to Lucian who was also a business man of sorts. Jovi knew of his apothecary and even got her ingredients there but she that seemed to be his only shop. Perhaps that was all he wanted but Jovi couldn't imagine that anyone would be happy with just the one shop when they could afford to take little risks. What was money if not something to burn for the Burkes? They were up near Lestrange level rich. Jovi knew her family were well off, they weren't too far off the Burkes, but as a female she wasn't going to be inheriting much, it would be Apollo that would get everything, he was the older twin but perhaps that wouldn't matter. Perhaps her father would split everything between both the boys. She was clueless as to the inner workings of her father's mind but if she wanted to continue the lifestyle she was used to, then she'd need to marry rich.

Don't let me hear you say life is taking you nowhere
Jovian refused to ever be found wrong, and Amelia was much the same. The girls had had a few rows in their time when opinions differed but for the most part they got on smashingly and aside from a few little tiffs every now and again, there wasn’t much that the girls really bickered over. If Amelia truly cared about whether or not it took a high level of intelligence to keep a business afloat, then she would have quirked her own eyebrows in return and stared the other redhead down. As it were, the argument was not worth enough in Amelia’s eyes to go into a diatribe about the vast array of hats one must wear in order to keep a successful business afloat, particularly one as Fin’s which was so rife with the possibility of pub brawls and shadier illegal deeds. Let the Head Girl be cynical. It only left a wider pool of men for Amelia when the time came.
Another name was thrown into the conversation and visions of Fin Avery’s wet summer body glistening in the Scottish sun were replaced by a blond wizard. This wasn’t such a bad image either, and Amy had much more experience chatting with Lysander than she did Finley. “Burke is quite attractive, although I’m not sure about marrying into such a large family. I already have one of those, you know. And all those sisters would probably want to have a say in every bit of his life, seeing as he’s the baby of the family, and I suspect that would include his girlfriends – to a degree.” It was difficult to tell, from the outside, whether or not a bloke was man enough to stand up for himself to his family. It certainly couldn’t be judged by how he acted with his schoolmates. Some of the bolder wizards in her class were complete and utter mummy’s boys when they went back home, while others bossed their parents around like spoilt little prats and acted the innocent intellectual at school. You really had to get to know someone and if they turned out to be a wanker then you were piss out of luck for all the time you spent on them.

Jovi didn't much know about what it was like to grow up in a larger family. She had two brothers and that was it. They were both a year younger than her and twins, thankfully not identical so there was never any problems with differentiating between the two. She never got why some families were so big. The case of the Burkes she understood. They had a son, daughters followed and when they finally had their spare heir they stopped having children. Amy's family just kept going and Jovi couldn't see the point. When she was married she'd have her heir and the spare and e done. Probably. It would depend on her husband and the types of genetics at play there. If there was anything unhealthy about any of her heirs then she'd have a spar spare, just in case. You had to be prepared for those sorts of things. There were too many variables and Jovi wanted to be safe. It wasn't that she was a baby machine for some guy, but she was a necessity in continuing some of the purist bloodlines in the wizarding world. She didn't so much care about making her husband or family name proud but she did care about continuing magic through the purist lines possible and she was one of the purist.
"So just tell the pompous bitches to shove it," Jovi shrugged. She wasn't sure what Lysander's sisters were actually like, she'd seen them about at gatherings, heard of them and knew of each of their careers a little but that was about all, they were nothing more than passing conversational topics really, somehow related to Fin she believed but then everyone was related somehow if you went far enough back. She was related to the Lestranges through marriage, the Parkinsons through blood and a lot of other families. So long as she didn't end up married to a cousin or second cousin then she'd be fine, also so long as they weren't a complete and utter wimp. She needed someone with a bit of backbone, someone that would be a decent challenge on an intellectual level. Okay, she was going to need quite a lot to keep her satisfied and she wasn't sure if such a guy existed but if he did, she would find him, she would marry him and she would give him heirs, all the while following her own career path and becoming, hopefully, a Death Eater!

Don't let me hear you say life is taking you nowhere
The Greengrass family was held in high esteem; they were one of the sacred 28 families and they didn’t struggle financially like some of the lesser families did. Amelia’s parents were well respected in their fields and as a whole their name demanded some measure of respect. That being said, Amy knew her place and it was not one that she could tell a Burke sister to “shove it” and get away with it. She laughed silently at Jovi’s suggestion. The Burkes had enough money to buy their way out of any sort of legal problems and she wouldn’t put it past those catty blonde bitches to have her offed for demanding time with Lysander away from their watchful eyes. This was all conjecture of course, but she wasn’t willing to risk it being true. Still, an evening with Lysander Burke didn’t have to end with a confrontation with the Burke sisters and Amelia would have been more than happy to keep him company for a while. Her family wouldn’t think twice about a smart marriage like that, and clearly the Burkes knew all about smart marriages. The eldest Burke was due to marry the eldest Nott sister soon, and the eldest Burke daughter was set to marry a Lestrange come the end of the year. If there was ever a more opportunistic family than the Burkes, Amelia certainly had never heard of them.
Finishing her drink and biscuit, Amelia pushed her dishes away slightly, more into the center of the table. She gave a quick glance around the pub to see if there were anymore people of interest in here to speak of, or to spark a new conversation, but it was the same old crowd as it was every Hogsmeade weekend. Merlin’s beard, Amelia was most definitely ready to get out into the real world for a bit and get away from the boring same old, same old. “I wanted to pop into the quill shop and get a few new stationary bits. Fancy ogling a few new quills with me?”

It was silly to get excited over stationary but Jovi rather liked getting new things no matter what they were. Quills had a fresh feel, the scratching against parchment was crisp and glided with precision. The smell of new parchment was intoxicating to Jovi. Old parchment too actually, but there was something inspiring about blank parchment, a clean slate begging for creativity. "Okay." She said with a bit of a shrug of her shoulders, appearing indifferent about the prospect of going to the quill boutique but she'd probably purchase a decent amount of new quills, inkwells, various inks and of course new parchment. There was certainly plenty that would need ogling but Jovi would only purchase the finest. She'd keep the overly extravagant for personal use, writing letters to family mostly, diary entries and the such. "Ready when you are." She said, standing and collecting her coat, slipping the red jacket over her arms and buttoning it up, tying the belt in a well practiced bow before she picked up her handbag, hanging it from her right shoulder, catching a glance of that disgusting orange skirt they'd seen earlier. How people could go about looking so awful was simply shocking to Jovi and yet people did it every day. Someone needed to guide these people into knowing and understanding what fashion was but she sure as Merlin wasn't going to do it, she wasn't the charitable sort and had no intentions of ever being such.
