{Elendei Potter}"Elendei! We are ready to go!" Called my dad Harry. My mum Ginny was in her room putting on make up. I myself was in my room. Today was my birthday. Well 14th of February was Valentines Day but I am a special child. I was still staring breathlessely at my letter. Earlier, I had recieved this letter saying that I am welcome at Hogwarts School for Witches and Wizards.My dad immediately started to get everyone ready as he was taking us to Diagon Alley. "Elendei are you ready?" Dad called again. I mumbled yes as if I didn't care but I really did. My knee-length blonde hair was let out and my blue streak was tied into a very long plat. My green eyes were glistering and I was wearing my faivourite short white dress with knee high white boots. //Perfect\\ I thought.Walking down the stairs, I adjusted my silver brooch. This brooch was a present from a secret admirer which I adore. It is a peacock who's feathers are made from real saphires and emeralds. The body is pure gold and the eyes seem to glow. Smiling, I walk outside and get into our car. It is an Audi TT painted silver and on the inside it is a van. You never know what magic can do....A few minutes later, I get out of the car and step infront of the Leaky Cauldron. My dad is greeted and we pass into Diagon Alley. I look around with amazement. "Wow..." I breathe. My mum walks off to buy me the books and my dad tells me he will go for a surprise. I walk around promising my dad not to walk away. //Watever\\I look around...I know! A magic wand! Yep, that's for me. Opening the door, I adress the old wizard politely, "Excuse me, sir. May I have a-""Wand, Miss Potter?" he asked eyeing me closely. I nodded wondering how he knew my name. "Come this way."He led me to shelves full of boxes which he immediately started to take out. He gave me several different wands but none of those worked. Finally he muttered "Holly and Pheonix pheather, 12 inches, flexible"Been given the wand, I felt a warmth flood my fingers. I smiled and fliked my wrist. Red sparks glowed around me and Mr Ollivander wrapped my wand in a box which I noticed was marble and not wood. Oh well.Finally breathing fresh air, I sat next to an ice cream stall and licked a vanilla cone. Mum and Dad joined me shortly, mum carrying a cauldron full of books whilst dad was walking with a cage. My eyes widened at the snowy white owl who lay asleep. "She's...mine?" I asked. Dad nodded. I stared at him and then said, "But...all these years...I wasn't allowed anything...you trust...wow...""She's all yours and her name is for you to decide." he replied. Then he said to my mother, "It is waiting at home."Confused and bewildered, Ifinnished my cone and counted my money. Exactly 57 galleons, 43 sickles and 26 knuts. Yeah I know. My journey back, I stroked Scilent, my owl and wondered what was waiting for me at home...

Alyss plodded through the streets of Diagon Alley, she threw up the hood on her black leather jacket and silently slid into Olivanders.The old man greeted her with an ever pleasant smile. "Break another one did you? You seem to have too much magic working through you. I'll see what we have by way of more...durable wands for you." He said as she I handed him the shattered remains of a holly and dragon heart string wand. The one had been 13 inches, and was durable-or so Olivander claimed.Her mother accepted the broken wand with a wistful sigh when Alyss told her.~~~~~-"I remember all the wands I broke when I went to Hogwarts, too many to count. It means a good witch by the way. Don't be sad that this is your sixth broken wand. Just stay away from the complicated spells for now."- Luna had said as she pulled her daughter into a hug.~~~~~Alyss visibly shook her head-violently to clear the memory-and focused as Olivander came back with a dusty old moth eaten box."This wand is old, it was one that was made when your mother first came here. Elder tree and phoenix feather, 10 and a half inches. One of our most durable wands. Very few are made with elder tree, though." He said handing Alyss the box.Alyss' black gloved hands touched the box and a warmth spread in her hands and up her arm. She removed hte glove on her left hand and help it aloft twirling it like the wand keeper always told her to. A mixture of burnt orange, ice-blue, and violet sparks flew from the tip and Olivander smiled."Take it as a complimentary wand, and if you break another try and go somewhere else, hmm Allison?" He said before shooing Alyss out of his shop.The witch couldn't help but hide a smile as she scurried out of the shop sliding her wand into a pocket in her jacket.

{William Black}I walked along Diagon Alley when I saw a girl wearing all black putting a wand in her pocket. Walking away, I looked around. My dad wasn't coming to collect me untill 5:00 pm and now was 2:00 pm. Wandering around the shops, I wondered if I should get myself a book when I mentally shook myself. //A BOOK?\\ I thought scilently. //When do I, Will Black, want a book?\\I was so concentrated on mentally fighting with myself, I didn't notice a young girl walking towards me and crashed right into her! She fell onto the concrete, her glossy blonde hair flying around her and her amazing blue eyes glistened with surprise and fear. {Elendei Potter}Slipping away from my parents, I walked down the Alley thinking about Hogwarts when suddenly, I crashed straight into a boy! I fell on the floor and stared up at him. He was a bit taller than me, he had short black hair tanned skin and hazelnut eyes. He held out a hand with a croocked smile on his face. I blushed as he pulled me up. "I'm sorry for crashing into you like that. I was thinking about...a lot." I say appologetically.{William Black}Pulling her up, she starts appologising but I say, "No I wasn't looking where I was going. What's my excuse supposed to be?" I brush off some dirt from my jeans and look back at her. "My name is William Black but you can call me Will. My dad will collect me at 5 pm and I've nothing to do."{Elendei Potter}"Nice to meet you Will. I am Elendei Potter. I told my parents that I was going for a walk and they said fine." I reply. I fiddle with my purse trying to avoid looking at his eyes. They seemed to make me feel like I was melting. //Elendei stop blushing!\\{William Black}"Do you want to go and eat?" I ask Elendei. "There is a pretty good place around here.""Really?""Yeah. I hang out here a lot." I say. "My dad spent half of his life here."{Elendei Potter}"I'd love to come but-" I started but couldn't resist. His eyes were pleading and I wasn't doing anything anyway. "Okay."As Will turned around, he took my hand and we pushed through the crowd of people towards somewhere on the other side of the Alleyway. But now, all that matters is Me, Will and the fact that we are holding hands...

{Hayden Mc Gonagall}My Brother Henry was annoying me for the 100th time of this day.As we walked across the shop of Wands I crumpled my letter that said:Dear Hayden Mc Gonagall,We would like to invite you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.If you are a half-blood girl then you go with a group of kids that are in Hufflepuff. If you're not half-blood you can go to either Slytherin,Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.From Albus DumbledoreThen my brother wined"I want to eat".I never even liked him cause of this.We stood out-side a shop called Leaky Cauldron.Inside were men of all kind,big and small,fat and skinny.When we came out we walked around another shop named Ollivanders.We stood still as Uncle said to be extra careful while he was away.Aagh like I never take care!!!My brother was not paying any attention on what Uncle said, so I rudely interrupted and said"Uncle I don't think Henry is paying any attention"Henry looked up from his dying phone and glared at me! Then he looked at a red-faced,angry Uncle and started to murmur what uncle usually said when he was angry"every time you have to pay attention when an adult is speaking!how many more times do I have to tell you?As we came inside Ollivanders Mr Ollivander was trying to find a wand.I couldn't understand wich wand though.All of a sudden Mr Ollivander was right next to me.I did not see him at all until he said"what wand would you like".I asked him what kind of wands there were.He only hummed.

Sorry for the late post, been a little busy >.<{Ami}Ami wandered around Diagon Alley, not sure where to go. In the end she decided to go have a look at the Daily Prophet. As soon as she opened the door, who should Ami see but Alcester Bot. "Oh... hey." Ami said with narrowed eyes. Al just scowled while rolling his eyes. For the millionth time, Ami wondered how their parents had become friends. Al and Ami were the worst of enemies! Ami ignored him and continued to browse the stall."Well hello, Miss K! How're ya t'day?" the shopkeeper, a cheerful man called Matthew Ontip said brightly."Good, thanks. And you?""Good, yeah. Good business, eh?"Ami nodded, wandering off to see what was new in the newspaper. But just as she was taking a look at the quidditch match results of China vs Germany, a sharp voice cut through the open door."I've told you Ami, don't go out alone unless you have been told you could!" Mrs Kartaran always had a frown etched on her forehead, with her lips pursed."Mum, you said I could...""Well, then don't come in here!" Mrs Kartaran looked at Mr Ontip with distaste. Ami glanced at him apologetically. He shrugged. Then Ami was shooed outside by her mother.{Al}Al was half smirking when Ami was 'escorted' out of the shop."So, sir," he said to Mr Ontip, "how much for the one about the murder of Temp Kyzon?""36 sickles and 2 knuts, that'll be.""I'll take that." Then Al strode out of the shop, eager to show his friends at Hogwarts - when school started, that is.{Willow}Willow strolled into Diagon Alley, checking out all the usual - new cauldrons etc. and was just about to turn into Hogsmeade when something caught her eye - Amira Kartaran. Except she was being pulled by someone. Willow squinted, and saw someone with the same whit-blonde hair, except with a much, much more stern face. Was that Ami's mother? They looked sort of alike, but you could see the comparison easily - mother: stern woman, strict attitude; daughter: cheerful, grumpy-to-be-pulled-away attitude. Willow had never seen Mrs Kartaran before, but was sure if she wanted to meet her...She still scurried up to them, anyway."Hey Ami!" she said a little breathlessly. "Oh, you must be Mrs Kartaran! Nice to meet you..." Mrs Kartaran looked Willow up and down."Nice... to meet you to." Although she didn't seem to mean it. Willow faltered a little."Well... I'll see you around." She managed a faint smile. Then she hurried towards Hogsmeade.
featherstar_stormclan • 28 October 2014 at 11:59 PM
Alyss looked around her as she took in her surroundings she sighed as she watched her cousin approaching her a smile plastered on his face."so Tom," Alyss said smiling sightly. "How many people have you scared on account of your name eh? Like all of them?""None." Tom said glaring at his cousin. "I've told no one my last name, and I intend to keep it that way.""Until you get sorted at Hogwarts, then everyone will know you last name's Riddle. And you're related to the guy." Alyss smirked. "Anyways, I look forward to meeting you again on the bus. Have fun." The girl said as she walked off.
appleblizzard • 3 November 2014 at 6:16 AM
@ashlinnhi do you want to meet my characters?{Elendei Potter}I followed Will as we walked through the crowd. He was pulling me to a place on the other side of the busy street and I could hardly breathe. Finally, we pulled though and he took me inside a rusty old cafe. {William Black}I walked over to a table and Elendei sat in the chair opposite to me. I asked her, "Would you like a milkshake?"She nodded and admired the wood carvings on her chair. Shrugging, I walked up to the counter and ordered 2 milkshakes and a chocolate cake. The waiting was long but I managed to keep my patience. Picking up the food, I walk over to the table and place the milkshake in Elendei's empty space...wait...Empty?!I look around the shop in panic and shout her name outside. Where could she be?!{Elendei}As Will was getting the food, I spotted a strange girl looking around. I raised my eyebrows to myself and looked at Will. He wasn't looking so I slipped out telling myself not to wonder away too far. I followed the girl down the street when she turned the corner. I waited then followed and gasped. She had vanished. What?!
ashlinnhi • 4 November 2014 at 5:38 AM
So sorry for the late reply, I didn't see the notification :\@appleblizzard Wait... who's character disappeared? 😋{Willow}On the way to Hogsmeade, Willow accidentally tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground - right next to an ongoing conversation. Or more like argument. Something about... names and... Hogwarts. Willow hid behind the corner, listening."...look forward to meeting you again on the bus. Have fun." Then without warning, a girl strode past Willow, almost knocking into her. Willow almost squealed, but then pressed her lips together. After the girl had passed, Willow continued towards Honeydukes. She bought some Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, etc. etc., then headed back to Diagon Alley.
appleblizzard • 4 November 2014 at 6:19 AM
@ashlinnhi random person. oh and u realise Hogesmade is ages away from Diago Alley, right? 😋{Elendei}I walked back down the road and saw a girl and boy parting from an argument. Confused, I wanted to ask them what was up when someone grabbed my hand. "Ouch!" I yelled as pain seared up my arm. I turned around and saw a livid Will standing there. "Never do that again!" he hissed. I rubbed my hand, tears sweeling in my eyes. "I didn't mean to-wait what?""You walked off and scarred the living day out of me!" he breathed fumming."You have a strong grip." I whisper through tears. Suddenly, all of his anger is gone and is replaced by concern. He sits down on a bench beside me and takes my hand in his. Suddenly, he is back. The Will I know...{William Black}I take Elendei's hand and worry. I do have a strong grip. After all I am a...never mind. I suddenly feel something I have never felt before...Love...Elendei is too busy with her hand but I stare at her. She is an unusual girl...she hardly knows me but she trusts me anyway. What if I hurt her?"No Will don't be stupid." I say to myself. I lean against Elendei and hug her. "I'm sorry." I say into her hair. She tensed up for a minute but then her posture relaxed and she placed he rhead on my shoulder. We sat for a while on the spot and nothing mattered...untill a strange girl came over...********************************************************************************@ashlinnhi u r the strange girl, kay?
ashlinnhi • 6 November 2014 at 5:04 AM
@appleblizzard Ah whoops XD Ok then. Wait Willow, Al or Ami? I'll just say Willow. Then can I just pretend that she can sort of have the "ability" to blend into shadows?{Ami}Ami was seriously annoyed at her mum. She'd SAID that she could go into Diagon Alley by herself! "Ami, why on EARTH do you like going into that rubbish shop? You know very well that the Daily Prophet is not what I want you to read, unless there is an article that Rita Skeeter has written."Rita Skeeter? No WAY. She was the most disgusting woman that Ami had ever known of - telling all those lies. They arrived at Ami's house."Now, your father is getting dinner ready. After you take a shower, come down for dinner. We have to discuss something with you," Mrs Kartaran said. Ami showered then went downstairs. She glanced at a picture on the wall. It was of a teenage girl around the age of 14, with a big smile and cocked head. Ami bit her lip and tried not to cry. Her big sister, Angie, had passed away from Melanoma two years ago. Angie had been the only person in Ami's family that she'd truly loved. She forced herself to look away from the portrait. Sitting down, Mr and Mrs Kartaran fixed their gaze on her."Now, Ami, we just wanted to have a little chat about when you go back to Hogwarts," Mr Kartaran started. Chat? Yeah, right. More like lecture."So, we have decided that you ONLY make friends with people that are in your own house this year," Mrs Kartaran continued. "We don't want you to become too popular. Everyone will be in awe of your smartness, but you will be powerful, so they won't dare to come near you."Ami tried hard not to raise her eyebrows. How on earth was she related to her parents? This was weird."Um... ok. I'll try..." she said uncomfortably.{Willow}I blended in with the shadows, trying not to be seen. For some reason, I didn't have the heart to go wandering around the streets. So I just trudged back home.---When I arrived, I could hear the sound of a fierce tantrum from my brother going on. "Ugh," I muttered. "Again? For, like, the third time today?""WHAT WAS THAT?" Joey yelled, forgetting that he wasn't mad at me. I immediately strode outside again, just for the sake of getting some peace and quiet._________Sorry don't know what to write next... can I make Al come in later, like when they're on the way to Hogwarts? 😃
appleblizzard • 6 November 2014 at 12:04 PM
@ashlinnhi yeah sure...wait is Ami in Slytherin or something? And aren't you gonna find me and Will?
ashlinnhi • 7 November 2014 at 4:14 AM
@appleblizzard She's in Ravenclaw. Yeah I will, in this post 😉{Willow}As I went towards Diagon Alley again, I noticed a girl and boy sitting side by side on a park chair thingy. No idea why, but I felt drawn towards them, like I knew them somehow. Wait. I did. I'd seen them at Hogwarts before, probably in the corridor or something. I walked over for no particular reason."Hi there! You guys go to Hogwarts, right? I've seen you around before. So, what are you doing here?"
appleblizzard • 7 November 2014 at 9:08 AM
{Elendei}I jumped up as the girl came over. She asked us something about Hogwarts."I'm sorry but I will only go to Hogwarts this year." I started. "I am here to-""Elendei!" My Dad walked towards me. "What did I tell you about walking off?"I hung my head in shame and blushed a deep red colour. Sudenly, Another man was striding towards us. He was...did I know him?"Will what did I tell you? 5:00 pm sharp. And it's half past 6 now." He said.{William}"I'm sorry." I mumbled. Then Elendei's dad and my dad stared at each other. In a split second, they were hugging and shaking hands as though they knew each other for years."William, this is Mr Potter and his daughter, Elendei." said my dad."We've met." I say. "I was...just walking around."{Elendei}"Yeah." I pipe up. "Just walking around." Suddenly, I remember the strange girl earlier. Looking back, I realise she's gone...where?
jupiter_hollow • 21 November 2014 at 3:36 PM
@featherstar_stormclan @appleblizzard @ashlinnhi @applefudge-Diagon alley was a place of hustle and bustle this particular time of the year when a majority of the Wizarding World's younger population, who hadn't had the mind to stock up early on school necessities, was in a hurry to supply themselves with books, robes and whatever other magical implements were required. The first-years-to-be were particularly hazardous. They and their parents usually made the most emotive customers, simultaneously easily excitable and incredibly skittish. The abundance of older wizards knew to make room for the more jumpy little witches and wizards, thus maintaining the flow of the general crowd.It was nevertheless disrupted by the crack of apparition and the sudden appearance of two figures. A small space around them was cleared due to the surrounding strangers moving away either in surprise or fear. The tinier figure, a tan-skinned child no older than 12, in cream-colored robes, immediatelly took the much taller boy by his hand and attempted to advance forward with him in tow, though she didn't make it far as he didn't budge before having distributed apologies for the sudden disruptance."Come ON!" The little girl squeaked in insistance, tugging at her companion's wrist to emphasize her haste. "Why must you be /so slow/!?"The young man only breathed out a chuckle. "I'm simply being corteous. Now, slow down, Olivanders isn't going anywhere."Upon emerging from the large crowd, they immediatelly stood out. Both were uncannily dressed, slightly out of fashion and also a little eccentric, but the contrast between them was striking.The boy, notably tall and slender, had a softly curved face and tapering cheekbones complemented by pale skin and even paler eyes. He wore a loose white silk shirt, black overcoat and trousers, the finesse of which was cancelled out by tousled shoulder-length raven hair, partially tucked behind one ear making him appear a little more suitably boyish. He looked surreal. Next to his paleness, the girl with her sun-kissed skin, hair and clothing positively glowed.Or rather, glowered."I beg to differ!" She shot back indignantly, tugging at her companion again, to which he actually responded this time around. They hurried along the alley in a light trott, unmistakably headed towards the wandmaker's shop. Both barely stopped at the stairs, quickly squeezing themselves into the tiny foyer.Inside, before anything, Iridesa sneezed. Everything seemed to be covered with a layer of dust with varying thickness depending on the surface. The showcases by the entrance were rich with it."Bless you, child!" Olivander's disembodied voice echoed from somewhere up above and both visitors looked around in amusement and slight confusion. In all truth, Sebastian was well used to the old man's antics whereas his sister had only paid him one visit. The way things were going, however, that was about to change."Thank you, mister." She courteously replied, not quite sure where to direct her voice, when suddenly a ladder emerged from behind the tall rows of wand shelves, sliding along the wall with Ollivander perched on top of it, wand boxes in hand. To their mutual horror, he wasn't holding onto the contraption and wobbled slightly upon twisting around a bit to look at them."Ah, the Snapes!" He exclaimed in delight, waving at Iridesa, who waved back despite being slightly stricken. She watched worriedly as he proceeded to deposit the boxes in their respectful places. "How are you faring in Hogwarts, Sebastian, my boy? Any troubles?"The old man was attempting to make small talk while performing various feats of heroism on the ladder but Sebastian was all too happy to indulge him."None such. I'm quite content with my wand." He replied, knowing full well Olivander was subtly inquiring about it. The man prided himself on his knack for making the best wand-user combinations. He'd paired Harry Potter with the Elder tree wand after all, that pride wasn't unfounded. Still, he seemed to be a bit out of sorts these days. Slightly crazy, so to say. Age seemed to be getting to him."Ah, good, good. I assumed it would suit you well. Rowan wood, yes?""Yes." Sebastian confirmed."Just like your father. How is he, speaking of the devil?" The old man inquired while making his way down, now thankfully holding onto the ladder. Sebastian felt unnerved. Surely the wandmaker knew of his father's condition."Growing old and rotten by the day." He joked, earning a croaking chuckle from Ollivander."Oi, and what does that make me?" With those words, the man rushed down the last steps of the ladder and went to welcome them with surprising liveliness. Even Iridesa seemed impressed."A young lamb apparently!" Sebastian remarked, smiling as Ollivander beamed at them."Oh hush now." The old man disregarded his words modestly, turninf his attention to the younger visitor. "Hello dear child, we meet again.""Iridesa." The girl reminded him and he nodded."Yes, yes, Iridesa. Ah, sorry for the- uh..." he motioned back towards the shelves of boxes. "-the delay. Just now I had a young witch stop by. Quite the wandbreaker. Is that the case with the littlest Snape?"Iridesa shook her head in distaste. "I didn't break my wand. I've lost it."Ollivander looked confused for a second. "Have you tried to accio it? To call it back to you?""It doesn't work. Even Sebastian has tried it. It's nowhere to be found."The ravenhaired boy nodded. "It doesn't respond to 'Iridesa's wand', nor any other title. I'm assuming it's been broken while not in our possession."The wandmaker paused, thoughtful for a while before asking "What type of wand was it?""Ebony, unicorm tail hair, 3 & 1/2 inches." Iridesa provided and Olivander broke into a knowing smile."Ah yes, ebony. Difficult to change allegiances with, nice and supple. It's a type of wood that tends to act quite butthurt at being handled carelessly. It ah... seems to have lost its loyalty to you upon being misplaced" He paused then, his smile taking a playfully scolding quality "Which is utmost unfortunate as I remember that particular wand being your 23rd try. Was that right?"Iridesa even had the courtecy to look embarassed, though that never seemed to last long. "It was quite a good match, however. I was hoping you'd aid me in finding another such." she said, looking at the man hopefully.He all but smiled."Very well. Come along, little Snape." He ushered her over, simultaneously waving a politely dismissive hand at Sebastian, signalling him to leave them to their privacy. Wand choosing was a personal process, only shared by the wandmaker and the witch or wizard.Sebastian nodded."I'll wait for you outside, Desa." He called out, shortly making his leave.
ashlinnhi • 24 November 2014 at 5:15 AM
{Willow}Seeing the boy and girl's fathers arrive (or so I thought it were their fathers), I hurriedly went away. So I decided to make a trip to Ollivander's. I just wanted to check if my wand was in a good condition or not, because it had been acting a bit weird lately - for example, not performing the right spell that I uttered. I opened the door, and was quite surprised to see that Ollivander had other customers inside as well. So I just browsed the wands while waiting.
jupiter_hollow • 4 December 2014 at 1:48 PM
@ashlinnhi Sorry hun, I've been stuck on phone for a while and the mobile version of eggcave doesn't take to notifications well. Could you ping me in the roleplay when you post? =3--Halfway through his trip out the foyer, Sebastian was surprised as the wandshop's door swung open and the dust was raised once more as a brunette entered. He made his way out, assuming she would follow suit upon noticing the wandchoosing process taking place, but the girl proceeded inside without much attention paid to Olivander's customer.Pausing at the door, Sebastian considered calling out to the witch and alerting her of the necessity of solitude for Olivander and Iridesa, but he feared making too much noise. His sister was currently brandishing a tawny wood wand with a look of calm concentration that would undoubtedly falter at the slightest disturbance. Iridesa was prone to tantrums, he knew as much and had no doubt the brown haired hirl would end up on the receiving end of one were she to remain in the shop.He walked over, deciding on a polite tactic, and placed himself next to the girl, leaning down to accomodate himself to her lesser height."Hello. Willow, is it?" He inquired, recognizing the 4th year quickly. "Could I inulge your company outside?"He motioned lightly to his sister and Olivander leaned over a desk with a few wand boxes spread over it. "It's a tender process. Privacy is required." He explained shortly and offered his hand courteously. "May we?"
ashlinnhi • 5 December 2014 at 6:57 PM
@jupiter_hollow Sure 😃 and @appleblizzard, should we make it almost time to go to Hogwarts soon? 😋{Willow}I looked up to find another boy that I had seen from Hogwarts next to me. "Sure," I said, taking his hand. We walked outside."Yeah, I'm Willow. Sorry I forgot, what was your name...?" {Ami}Ami trudged slowly into Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour (I forgot what it was called...), thinking about what her parents had said. Licking a chocolate fudge sundae, she realised that there was something seriously wrong with her parents. It was stupid. Only make friends with people in her house? Seriously ridiculous. Ami wasn't going to listen to them. They were completely wrong. Ami was very smart for her age, but she wasn't the snobbish or stuck-up kind.
jupiter_hollow • 6 December 2014 at 12:22 PM
@ashlinnhi is it okay to assume she's a great Care for Magical creatures student? Since in her form you mentioned her being good with animals. @appleblizzard @applefudge Anyone still in this roleplay?-Sebastian couldn't help but beam at the girl's inquiry. Though he remembered her being a Gryff, she didn't seem to know the son of infamous Professor Snape by name. That certainly spoke volumes about her lack of involvement or care for gossip. He found it reassuring, if not endearing."Sebastian." He introduced himself. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, though I'm sure we've seen each other before. Are you the Ms Pandolfi Hagrid always talks about?"He remembered her name being mentioned by the Care for magical Creatures teacher, who'd mentioned her skill with the animals on numerous occasions.
appleblizzard • 10 December 2014 at 3:17 AM
@ashlinnhi @applefudge @jupiter_hollow @featherstar_stormclan{Elendei Potter}I sat in the back of my car with my mum and dad. I thought about today. It was strange. Me wandering amelessly around, finding William who was apparently my step-god-brother. Then my dad and his meeting.I stared outside the window where the rain was falling. Comming to my house, my dad told me to go upstairs and pack so I did as I was told.Entering my room, I threw my books, robes and other things in when I came across a long parcel wrapped up under my bed. I took it out and unwrapped it. I gasped as the newest broom landed in my lap. Gleaming on the handle was the new name: StarLight. Wow...wo would get me something like this?I rushed downstaires and showed my dad the broom. "Elendei, Hally Birthday!" He said.My mum Ginny brought in a cake and we gathered around our table with our house elf Odd and all ate a bit of cake. Odd was a very nice house elf and he took a liking to me. Mum had tried to set him free but he refused to leave.I think I kinda like him too. He's a good friend. Scilent hooted as I returned to my room. I gave her something to eat and then finnished packing my trunk. Slidding it next to the door for tommorrow, I fell onto my bed and fell asleep...
ashlinnhi • 11 December 2014 at 4:57 AM
Hally Birthday... x3 {Willow}"Oh... she - she does?" I was quite surprised, actually. I was always the quiet, hard-working one. Then, without waiting for an answer, I said, "Well... I don't know about you, but I'd better go home for dinner. We have dinner really early, yeah." I didn't know why, but I felt uneasy around this new person. Then I realised that I was... shy. __@jupiter_hollow Is it ok if she has a crush on Sebastian? 😋
jupiter_hollow • 11 December 2014 at 5:58 PM
@ashlinnhi Sure ^^ @appleblizzard Fathers scolding their children seems to be a trend xD-Sebastian took on an apologetic look out of politeness, though he sympathized very little with the witch. He could imagine dinner being served at 6 pm in some homes, but assumed suspiciously (because suspicious was his nature) that it was either made up or conveniently brought up. Either ways, the girl seemed to be excusing herself out of the conversation and he made sure to sound decorously sorry on his sister's behalf."Apologies for holding you up, miss. I wasn't aware you dined so early."He harboured skepticism towards the notion. However, there wasn't much that could surprise him in this case. He supposed he felt resigned for having acted properly and appraisingly and still being brushed off, but he was a tolerant being above all and smiled tightly."And yes" he said "he certainly considers you a bright witch.", coming back to the topic of Hagrid and his Magical Creature class."Unlike some." A tall and dark silhouette, senior and suprior to his own, settled next to him and he knew before he'd even seen it who its owner was, judging solely by the deep, grating tone of the angrily drawled out reprimand. He turned around to greet his father, already knowing why he was on the receiving end of a scolding, only to find he was in full Hogwarts attire. He'd come straight from the school grounds then."Father." He acknowledged despite knowing of the title his father wished to be regarded with when in his school robes. The senior Snape seemed to react predictably (judging by Sebastian's lack of reaction) and bustled with even further anger, only noticeable by his pursed lips."You side-along apparated in broad daylight, in the middle of blasted Diagon Alley!" The man seethed, disregarding the presence of the young girl standing nearby without so much as looking at her. His venomous intonation was meant fully for Sebastian and he didn't wait for the boy to attempt to justify himself before continuing his reproaching speech. "Your performance has gone undetected, as I see no Ministry officials have rushed into the scene but I can imagine it missed their radar narrowly. Hefty fines aside, your imbecilic actions were not much farther from ending disastrously." Snape's voice seemed to rise in tone, going from impassively cold to quietly enraged until he was practically hissing. "You could have gotten diced!" He emphasized the last word with a sharp and menacing click of his tongue at the 'd', a tone which governed a respectful silence in Sebastian.

@jupiter_hollow Ha Yeah @ashlinnhi @applefudge guys I'm gonna add another character in!{Elendei Potter}I woke up to the sizzle of downstairs breakfast. I jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Hurrying downstairs, I hugged my mum and dad whilst eating me eggs and bacon."Is your suitcase packed, Eli?" asked my mum. "Yes mother." I replied. Turning to my dad I said, "Dad...can I talk to you?"Father exchanged a confused look with Mother but came along with me anyway. He sat on my bed to listen. "Dad in Hogwarts what if I am an odd one out?""Just be yourself, Eli. Don't try to be someone else." He smiled. "Anything else?""Uh...yes actually...what if I am in Slytherin?" I rushed terrified.Father shook his head. "Eli, don't worry. The Sorting Hat will tell you where to go unless you want otherwise."H left me alone to think about it. Scilent hooted and I grabbed her cage with my suitcase and headed dwonstairs."Come on Eli, we are running a little late." Called mum from the car. Shoving mysuitcase into the boot, I ran to the front and sat between Mum and Dad. As always, the seats at the back were vacant....Finally, we arrived at Kings Cross. I took my trolley and ran through the barrier as my father had told me to. Behind me, Mum and Dad came through too.I gasped as the scarlet train gleamed in the light. Kissing my mum and dad then grabbing my stuff, I ran to the train and then slowed down to a walk. I looked in all comparaments except for the last one occupied by someone I knew so well : "Will."{William Black}I heard my name as the door of the comparament opened. I looked around and a smile etched onto my face as Eli wallked through carrying an owl fast asleep. "Can I sit here?" she asked pointing to the seat next to me."Yeah sure, you kidding?" I replied. As she sat next to me, a kind of different atmosphere surrounded me. As she examined the train, I stared at her. Turning back to look at me, she asked if the lady with the food had come yet. I shook my head and stared out of the window. "There are more people coming on. Look they're my friends." I pointed them out. Suddenly, the comparament door opened again and a tall first year walked in just like us. I knew him straight away: Kyle Malfoy."What do you want Malfoy?" I asked. {Kyle Malfoy <<< My New Character}"I was merely going to ask whether I could sit here." I said coldly looking at the expression on the boys face.A beautiful girl sat next to him. "May I?" I asked her. She nodded seeming not to care whereas the boy seemed unhappy about my presence.I sat down next to her and said, "Kyle Malfoy.""Elendei Potter. Nice to meet you Kyle." She smiled."William Black." Sadi the boy coldly. I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you unhappy about my presence? What is it you Black's don't like about us?""Come outside." He said getting up. Elendei seemed confused but stayed where she was.I followed William outside the comparament door.{William Black}I turned around sharply and grabbed Kyle by the shoulder. "If you dare barge into my life and do anything to any of my friends, I swear you won't make it to Christmas alive."I let him go and walked back into the comparament, Kyle close behind him. "William I have nothing against you but you better watch your step or I'll-" He said. We stopped side-by-side. Elendei had fallen asleep. I grabbed my cloak and covered her with it whilst Kyle got a pillow and placed Eli's head onto it.We walked quitly out of the comparament and sat in the corridoor. We didn't want to wake her up.

@jupiter_hollow @appleblizzard Ok, so at the train station now?{Willow}After having a hurried dinner, I went to bed at a strangely early time. I guess I was just excited to go on the train to Hogwarts tomorrow.~~The next morning, I rushed onto Platform 9 and 3/4, then into a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. I looked around for Ami, but I couldn't seem to find her. So I just went into a compartment with a sleeping girl inside, and two boys around 11 years of age outside."Could I come in?" I asked.{Ami}Ami ran onto the train just in time. Panting, I collapsed into a compartment with only two people inside. Funny thing, it was Willow and another girl. And two more boys that were younger than me outside."Hi! Oh..." I realised that the girl beside Willow was asleep. Then I went outside, where the two boys were."Hey, why are you guys outside over here? Don't you want to sit down inside?"
appleblizzard • 12 December 2014 at 10:30 AM
@ashlinnhi @jupiter_hollow yeah.{Will}"Um Yeah sure." I said to the girl. As she slipped inside, another girl crashed inside the comparament. She cam eoutside again inquiring why we weren't going inside. "We don't want to wake her."{Kyle}"Yes." I said. "But then again, it wouldn't hurt to go inside, right?"I stood up and follwed Will into the comparament. Elendei had woken up and was frowning at the girls. But when she saw us she smiled and seemed to relax.{Elendei}I woke up to find Will, Kyle and two other girls all staring at me. I sat upwright and asked the girls what they were called. "I am Elendei Potter.""I am Kyle Malfoy." Kyle introduced himself sitting opposite me. "And I am William Black. Friends call me Will." He said sitting beside Kyle. I looked expectantly at the girls and wondered if the train was going to move on.

@ashlinnhi Ah well that was quick @appleblizzard-Sebastian found himself alone in front of his father, as the girl had thankfully scurried off to her supposed dinner. He was used to this, the combined presence of the Snapes tended to scare people off. At least his father wouldn't have picked a fight with a 4th year. He imagined the girl would have been terrified.He had the courtesy to hang his head in a regretful manner."I'm sorry father, I didn't consider it." He said and was immediatelly met with a loud hiss."Why would you ever!? Surely the notion of possible death must have escaped your mind as soon as you thought you could spare yourself the trouble of walking. I'd never think you stupid, but risking splinching yourself /and/ your sister because of your own laziness is definitely your greatest idiocy thus far!" It was obvious the man was beyond fury. His entire body was tightly strung and his black eyes flashed dangerously; he was beginning to pale from the energy his anger used up.Sebastian found himself regretful, though not for apparating, but for having gotten caught. His father seemed to be out of his mind in anger.It was visibly affecting his condition and the boy quickly jumped to action."I don't deny anything but my reasons. Desa misplaced her wand and didn't wish to bother you about contacting Ollivander, therefore we had to hurry before the shop closed." He explained curtly and watched as the man bustled again, this time not as furious."You are both insufferable brats." Snape concluded in a voice of finality, though the insult held no venom. Mentioning Desa always seemed to placate him, Sebastian thought with an inward smile."While that may be true, you haven't anyone to blame." He retorted and saw that his father was about to argue again when the door of the wand shop slammed shut and Iridesa advanced towards them redfaced."How dare he!?" She squealed angrily, stomping her feet in pointed anger. Even as she stopped in front of the two males, she jittered furiously, twisting her hands in her robe. "Dad, he redirected me to another wand shop! As if- as if I'm not worthy enough for his wands! The NERVE of that man!"Sebastian stopped himself short of laughing, but did smile lightly. His sister seemed to notice and immediately took offence. "SEB!" she wailed, getting increasingly more iritated since her father looked equally as amused as her brother did."Well" Sebastian began, working on mending both disastrous situations atonce. "I'd say it's rather the other way around. Perhaps it's the wands that aren't worthy of you."To his delight and humour, the girl deflated immediatelly and nodded her head in a terse manner. "True."Rolling his eyes, irked by the little girl's pride, the elder Snape fixed bothof his children with a stern glare. "I'm willing to overlook today's happenings if you gathered your manners and got a move on. You've delayed our meal enough already."Wordlessly, Iridesa stomped off towards the direction of the nearby portkey location, still visibly angry despite Sebastian's words of 'consolation'.Once they were in solitude, Snape regarded his son critically again, though now on a different topic."You mustn't spoil her so. She's too prideful already."Sebastian only chuckled."The alternative will only make her cry, you know as much. She's spoiled enough already and that's entirely your doing." The words, intended to be teasingly sweet, only made his father send a particularly nasty glare his way. "...and mine." He amended, then smiled. "I'm not nearly as doting as you, of course.""You're certainly doting enough to do her bidding despite the circumstances." Snape reminded Sebastian, pursing his lips with an obvious intention to continue his scolding. "She is only a child and, unfortunately, one with demands that are more dangerous than silly. I wish she would have been the type to whine for dolls..." he mused aloud, pausing. "instead of..."Sebastian snorted."Basilisks?""Yes. That." Snape answered, not amused by his children's antics, then made a point of not talking to either as they travelled back home. He dreaded the following day that marked his return at Hogwarts as well as his daughter's arrival there. He hoped all would go well.

@jupiter_hollow Sorry I'm a little confused. Didn't Seb and Desa just go on the Hogwarts Express? o.O{Ami}"Hi, I'm Amira Kartaran, Ami for short.""Willow Pandolfi," Ami heard Willow say. The food trolley lady came. Ami got a bunch of chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and some pumpkin pasties. "Want some of these?" Ami smiled cheekily, offering some of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.
appleblizzard • 16 December 2014 at 8:59 AM
@jupiter_hollow @ashlinnhi{Elendei}"Hello Ami, Hello Willow." I said as the girls paid for their foods. I stood up and bought a bit of everything to share around. We laid out the table and had a mini feast in the comparament! Finally, the Hogwarts Express started moving and we were off to Hogwarts!
jupiter_hollow • 16 December 2014 at 9:34 AM
@ashlinnhi I continued the scene with Sebastian and Desa at the wand shop. I had to finish it after all :/ I couldn't just start the other day xD Yes they just went onto the hogwarts express and so did Alfie.@appleblizzardSebastian had shortly put out a book to entertain himself during the long trip. He was skimming a muggle book he'd already deemed uninteresting when Desa stood up and took off her cream-colored cloak."I'm going to the Slytherin section." She announced, referring to the 1st class part of the train. A majority of the little snakes resided there."Don't bother anybody, now." Sebastian warned and received a dispassionate wave of Desa's hand in response as she was already halfway out the compartment."Sure, sure."The train seemed to be bustling with students trying to find their place to sit and she squeezed her way through with irking difficulty."Oh, um, so sorry." A flustered boy mumbled out as he attempted to pass through with an abundance of luggage in his arms. He had a childishly young look to him despite being quite tall and obviously older. He seemed to flush when Desa regarded him with a mildly heated look of annoyance. He wore shabby black robes with intermittent yellow accents. Hufflepuff then. That explained a lot.The two attempted to let each other pass through but the boy's suitcases took up too much space, which the slim hallway barely provided. Try as she might, Desa couldn't squeeze past the boy. He was blocking the hallway.She sighed."Back up a bit." She instructed, motioning for him to retreat backwards towards one of the compartments. He did so and as he passed the door to the compartment, Desa opened it and went in, motioning to him through the glass to pass as she had now freed the hallway. She had, however, unknowingly interrupted a gathering of excited first years."Apologies." She called out to the compartent's inhabitants without even looking at them. She would be on her way soon, anyway.{The compartent Desa entered is the one where your characters are. The boy she's trying to pass by is Alfie. =P}
ashlinnhi • 16 December 2014 at 10:30 PM
@jupiter_hollow Um... Willow and Ami aren't first-years 😋 Oh I get you now, I though that Sebastian and Alfie were the same person XD{Willow}"What houses are you guys in or what do you want to be in?" I asked them all. "I'm in Gryffindor.""I'm in Ravenclaw." I heard Willow say. I thought of Sebastian, the boy that I'd met before. He looked remarkably like... Professor Snape. Could he be his son? I wasn't sure what to think of him, now. I'd never liked Professor Snape, but perhaps his son was different? If Sebastian was his son, that is.
appleblizzard • 17 December 2014 at 2:43 AM
@ashlinnhi @jupiter_hollow{Elendei}"Well I'm a first year so I hope to be in Gryffindor like my mother and father." I said."Gryffindor." Said Will as though it was obvious."Slytherin." Said Kyle."I just hope I don't be in Slytherin." I thought. "So how was it when you joined? Can anyone be unchosen by the hat? Will we be sent home?"Feeling that I was concerned, Will took my hand in his. I lokked at Willow and Ami for answers. I was so anxious I didn't want to eat anymore.
