The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) on September 01, 2011, 10:54:39 PM May 16th, 2009Dear journal,Today, I received a letter from Eric concerning my mother's death. After eight years of being clarified as unsolvable, the Ministry picked up the case again, for reasons I don't know. At first I was upset because it took them this long to do something about it... but then I met a peculiar Slytherin boy by the name of Vulpes Connor.He had spectacular timing, he did; he came when I really needed it and made me feel better about it all. He was the first one I've ever talked to here, and in all honesty, it was better than anything I could've imagined. He taught me to dance in the rain, barefoot, and made me laugh like I had never laughed in years.We also had dinner together at Slytherin table. It caused quite a spectacle, as other members of the other houses came over and questioned us as if we were committing an atrocity, but we didn't mind. I thought it was actually amusing, to be honest. It was an odd day, for sure. Certainly not what I expected to happen when I woke up this morning.We've made plans to see each other over the summer and I just know Eric will be thrilled. Today, Vulpes and I became friends. My first friend ever, and I have a feeling I picked an amazing one, too.~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #1 on September 04, 2011, 08:48:00 PM May 17, 2009Dear Journal,Today, I received a copy of The Daily Prophet from Eric during breakfast. It was the article about the Ministry reopening the case of mamma's death. I knew it was coming, but to see it right in front of me just made it all real. I have mixed feelings of the subject, but talking it out with Vulpes made me feel better.After breakfast, I spent the rest of the morning with Vulpes down by the lake. At first we just laid in the grass and talked about nothing in particular, enjoying the outdoors and each others company. Then we spent a few minutes swimming in the water. Well, I swam, anyway. That was when I first hugged him. After that, we played chess (or I at least attempted to--I didn't really pay attention) and asked each other about favourites.Cytherea met up with us as we walked about the lawns, and made things... awkward, since she is adamant in wanting Vulpes and I to be a couple. Which is absurd. After I saved her life (from falling off a tree) we all went to lunch together.So, it was a pretty eventful and interesting Sunday. Vulpes and I are closer, and Cytherea and I have become friends. I have sent Eric a letter explaining everything that had transpired since yesterday. I expect an enthusiastic reply by the morning.~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #2 on September 13, 2011, 12:45:22 AM June 2nd, 2009Dear Journal,Today, I met an insufferable jerk by the name of Huxley Ward. He's a fifth year Slytherin and incredibly infuriating. There I was, minding my own business while walking through the lawns like I usually do, when he calls me over by the Quidditch Pitch. Being polite, I obliged, and that was my first mistake. I don't even have the patience to write down what actually happened, but no one has ever frustrated me more than he has: I actually raised my voice at him and cursed in Icelandic. I can't remember the last time that happened to me.Something tells me this isn't the last I've seen or heard of Huxley Ward.Another weird thing happened tonight, but... I don't know what to say about it. Vulpes... kissed me. And, I... kind of kissed back. It was nothing, though. We both realized what a mistake it was, and that we should just pretend like it never happened, so after this journal entry, I won't mention it ever again. I really don't want our friendship to be tarnished because of this. Only time will tell...It's a day of days...~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #3 on September 15, 2011, 05:20:33 PM June 4th, 2009Dear Journal,Today started off relatively normal. Vulpes and I are back to being normal again, which is a blessing, considering.However, due to my luck and whatever higher being is responsible, I encountered the insufferable Huxley Ward again. I was on my way to the Owlery to send Eric a much-waited reply, when there he was about to go into the Prefect's Bathroom.Now, I cannot tell you what demon possessed me to willingly go up to him. Apparently, my brain was on hiatus. We exchanged snarky comments to each other and just as I was about to leave, a substitute professor (whom I recognized from some of my muggle studies) caught us and assumed the worst. She gave us detention in the empty classroom down the corridor for two hours.You can imagine how frazzled I was. Huxley wasn't much better, either. Though he blamed me for landing us in detention (which, in retrospect, was my fault), after a while, we actually started getting along. Most of the time we were just joking around, though, but it was much more pleasant than our previous encounter. This does not mean, however, that I like him. As a person. He is still an insufferable prig.It turned out that the professor didn't even bother charming the door, so after an hour wasted with Huxley, we realized the door was unlocked the whole time.After we went our separate ways, I headed for the Owlery anyway (even though it was past curfew) and sent my letter to Eric. I wasn't really surprised to see a note left by Vulpes (since we were supposed to study together). Vulpes's going to laugh when I tell him about tonight.~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #4 on September 17, 2011, 01:17:46 AM June 9th, 2009Dear Journal,Today's OWL's went well. I only have two more to do, and then it's off to summer.I met a Gryffindor tonight in the common room. I've seen her around, but of course, I never initiated any contact. Her name is Ricci de Luca: she's from Italy and has a beautiful accent. I was in the alcove sketching a fox chasing a wolf (weird, right?) when she came up to me and began talking. It was odd, to say in the least. No one ever just comes up to me to talk, because they usually just gawk.We talked for a bit and we got along rather well having just met. We have some things in common and I can really see us becoming good friends. Listening to my instincts have always served me well, so I will have to take her up on our budding friendship. I do hope she gets along well with Vulpes.~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #5 on September 19, 2011, 02:51:19 AM June 13th, 2009Dear Journal,Why must I do something so stupid as to kiss Vulpes again. That's right. AGAIN. And it wasn't the usual peck or understated kind of kiss, no. It was a 'I want to devour you!' kiss. And it was right in the middle of the compartment we shared. This was, of course, after Huxley bloody Ward sauntered in like he owned the place, insulted Vulpes's mother and almost went flying through the window (thanks to me) to prevent him from attacking Vulpes in retaliation.Not only did I kiss Vulpes, but he admitted that he had feelings for me.How bad of a friend can I be? I had no idea he felt that way. If I did know, I wouldn't have kissed him and have him think I felt the same. I thought for sure that I ruined our friendship, but Vulpes being Vulpes, he pretended everything was okay. I'm relieved that he took that route, of course. Nothing could be worse than losing him. But, I also feel terribly guilty for letting things go this way. Maker, I've gotten myself into more trouble.I really need to stop being stupid.I really hope that things will turn out for the best.~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #6 on September 22, 2011, 05:32:54 PM June 15th, 2009Dear Journal,Things have been reasonably normal back home with Eric. It's been two days since arriving at King's Cross Station. Things on the train ride home since the... incident went fairly alright, although I definitely sensed a shift in our friendship. And why wouldn't there be? I kissed him. Just friends don't do that. They just don't.Anyway, I digress.I still haven't talked to Eric about the whole situation... nor have I really decided if that's the best course of action. He is, after all, the father figure I never had. And although he usually makes me wonder who really is the adult around here, I'm sure there's a time where he'd put on his big boy pants and lecture me. This could be one of those times. He's ecstatic about meeting Vulpes on the trip to Egypt, since I've told all about him. Though something he said made me feel a bit guilty. He mentioned how Vulpes sounded like a rare teenage boy: being best friends with a girl and not have any ulterior motives. That was true at first, but ever since the train ride, it turned out he actually did have one. If I mention what transpired, I'm afraid he'll forbid me to see him anymore. And that's something I cannot risk.One other thing has been bugging me since I got back from Hogwarts. These past couple nights I've been having weird dreams. Usually I dream about mamma or my time in Iceland, but these dreams were different. Maybe it's just a result from the kiss on the train, but all my dreams are focused around Vulpes. Before then, of course, I'd dream about him in a friendly way, like going to Hogsmeade or riding on our brooms. But these have been... not so friendly. The mood and situation was entirely different than anything I've ever dreamed of. Maybe I'm just having a nervous breakdown? After all, it's just been replays of the kiss. It can't mean anything more than just coincidence.Right?~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #7 on October 15, 2011, 12:42:54 AM June 20th, 2009Dear Journal,Words cannot justifiably describe how happy I am.Today was the day we embarked on our trip to Egypt, and the moment I laid eyes on it, I fell in love. It is so beautiful here. In addition, Eric met Vulpes and they really hit it off. I wasn't worried, to be honest, since Eric and Vulpes are both laid-back people. Eric adored Cytherea as well, since they spent the majority of the free time out at candy shops.With Vulpes and I alone, I convinced him to learn some hand-to-hand combat (more for the reassurance that he can defend himself without magic). He learned surprisingly well, almost knocking me down a few times. However, this is where it gets complicated. He kissed me again. Running back to the hotel without another word, my mind was in a frenzy. I mean, we were supposed to pretend nothing happened... and that entails making sure it doesn't happen again. But, lo and behold it did... and I avoided him the rest of the night.That is... until after dinner and Eric talked to me. I finally told him about me and Vulpes and our not-so-friendly kisses. Something he said, though... really turned my world upside down. So, I went to Vulpes's room, and one thing happened after another, and...I realized that I, too, have feelings for Vulpes. Maker... why did it take me this long to admit my feelings for him? So, I told him, and, well... thankfully he reciprocated his feelings so graciously.Needless to say... Vulpes and I are officially dating... and it feels so right. My best friend and boyfriend... it's definitely something I'll have to get used to, but he's worth it. Mamma would be happy for me. I know I am.~Aurora Skip to next post Re: The Lone Wolf (Rory's Journal) Reply #8 on December 07, 2011, 11:56:10 PM June 23rd, 2009Dear Journal,Last night was my first date with Vulpes. It was amazing. At first it was very nervewracking and I was unsure about what to do on a date. But after talking with him, everything fell into place. Talking to him and just being around him makes everything not so scary. It's natural with him. I'm probably not explaining this right. Anyway, I gave him the Yang half of my ring since he gave me his mother's necklace.A couple embarrassing things happened, though: like me spilling my drink on his lap and he stepping on my foot as we danced. Though we just laughed it off and it wasn't a big deal.It's weird to imagine my life without Vulpes now. He's such a big part of my world and I don't know where or what I would be if I never met him.~Aurora Skip to next post
