Okay so this is an RP that I made a long time ago that I thought it would be fun to bring back. This RP is based off a book I just read by Nancy Werlin, titled "Impossible" The credit for the altered lyrics of Scarborough Fair goes to her. Enjoy
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She must be a true love of mine
Tell her she'll sleep in a goose-feathered bead
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Tell her I swear she'll have nothing to dread
She must be a true love of mine
Tell her tomorrow her answer make known
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
What er' she may I'll not leave her alone
She must be a true love of mine
Her answer it came in a week and a day
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
I'm sorry good sir I must answer thee nay
I'll not be a true love of thine
With the sting of my curse she can never be free
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Unsless she unravels my riddling three
She will be a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a magical shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without any seem or needlework
Else she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Else she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to plow it with just a goat's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And sow it all over with one grain of corn
Else she be a true love of mine
And her daughters forever possessions of mine
Charlotte and Caroline Scarborough have just finished their seventh year at Hogwarts. Their parents have given them permission to stay the summer at their home in the English Countryside while they are away in Italy on business.
Since the girl's parents will be away only certain people are permitted to stay at the home with Charlotte and Caroline. Each of the girl's best friends from Hogwarts will be there. Longtime family friend and Charlotte's childhood boyfriend will be staying as he does every summer. The family's usual house staff will of course be there as well. Included in the staff is the Estate Manager and Godson of Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough,Tristan Ramsay. He has gown up with both girls and thinks of them both as the sisterly type. What will happen though when Caroline starts to see him in a new light? Could he forget his brotherly emotions and see her as something more?
This summer there will be another guest that the girls have not met yet. Beckham Michaelson is a guest that Charlotte and Caroline's parents have allowed to stay at their manor for the summer. He is slightly older than the rest of the guests. It is evident that Beckham becomes quite attracted to Charlotte, but she and her once childhood sweetheart are getting closer and closer.
What Charlotte does not know though is Beckham is much more powerfull then anyone expects (he is the one in the song). To get out of his curse Charlotte must complete his three impossible tasks with the help of her family and friends.
I'm going to start this RP before they know anything is fishy about Beckham, either of the twins start to fall in love with each other. If you would like to play Caroline, Beckham, or Charlotte's Childhood sweetheart I would really appreciate it if you could give a RP sample. Madeups are welcome just please give a reason why you are at the manor (like a friend, family, or staff member). Enjoy!
Nicknames: Charlie
Age: 17
Year: Graduated
School: Hogwarts
House: Gryffindor
DOB: April 30
POB: England
Blood: Pure
Build: Slim / Athletic
Height: 5'6"
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Brown
Background:
Charlotte was born to Gregory and Emily Scarborough. Before having Charlotte and Caroline they had a son but he died during birth so the girls never got to meet him. She has always felt that she is missing him, even though she never knew him.
Charlie is a twin, and just like any twins they have their arguments but overall they get along just fine. If anything they have that weird twin closeness that lets them know more about each other than anyone else does.
Charlotte was brought up in an extremely nice house hold. Money was never a problem and the Scarborough name is a well renound one. Gregory Scarborough has worked hard to make a name for himself and has accomplished his goal of doing so. He has many connections therefore knows many people. It is not odd for unfamilier people to Charlie be staying in her home. This is just one of the packages that comes along with her father.
Relationships:
When it comes to friends and most family, Charlie is very loyal. She puts them first no matter what. As stated before, Charlotte and Caroline has a very close relationship with her twin sister.
When it comes to friends her closest is Olivia. They have been friends ever since their first year at Hogwarts. Everybody always knew that when you saw one of them that the other was not far off.
Then there is James. James and Charlotte have been close for many years now. Their families became friends when they were both very young, so they have grown with each other. It is not odd for James to spend the summers at the Scarborough house. Charlotte would not goes as far as calling him a brotherly figure, but they are close friends.
Now onto actual relationships. Charlie does not have much experience in the guy field. That is not to say that she coudln't get a guy if she wanted. It was just that noramlly she was busy doing other things or hanging out with her friends. Wow this summer is going to be a wakeup call.
Build: Athletic
Height: 6'0"
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
History:
Tristan is the godson of Gregory and Emily Scarborough. His mother and Emily grew up together and have stayed close since childhood. When his mother became pregnent it was around the same time that Emily was expecting a child as well (although her son never made it). When both women were with child at the same time they decided that both would become god parents to each other's children.
Tristan's parents are still alive today, but because of his close ties with the Scarborough family they have had much influence on him. Once he graduated from Hogwarts Gregory Scarborough made it his mission to train Tristan to work for him. Tristan spent many years under the instruction of Gregory Scarborough and has earned his respect.
At the moment Tristan is acting Estate Manager for the Scarboroughs. That means that while they are away (which is more often than not) the manor is in Tristan's care. This involves staying at the house to make sure that all of the guests are treated correctly. This also involves looking out for the Scarborough children while their parents are away.
Personality:
Tristan is a nice guy. He worked hard to earn his God-Family's respect and likes to keep it that way. He is very loyal to the Scarboroughs as well as tries very hard to look out for both Charlotte and Caroline.

Caroline please?
SPOILER!!: RP sample
Caroline blinked blearily as the sun kissed her closed eylids. In an attempt to delay waking up, she rolled over to hind her face into her pillow although she knew that it wouldn't work. Slowly getting out of bed, she shook the sheets and tucked them under the frame neatly. Her straw blonde hair was in a mess as she folded the comforter and plumped the pillows. Finally satiated with the bed's presentability, she looked into the mirror and groaned silently.
Combing through her hair, she struggled with a few of the tangles. Shaking her head, she picked up the wand that rested on the dressing table. With a few simple charms, her hair was untangled and flowing in silken locks down her back and she was decked in more presentable clotes. Braiding them swiftly with practiced fingers, she secured the braid's tail with a silver ribbon before slipping the wand into its holster.

Fingers crossed it's good enough!
Its yours! I'm going to go ahead an give it to you since you were the first to get the RP sample in. Thank you!
Sorry I had no idea you wanted a sample or I may have put one. Anyway, I shall move on:
Charlotte's childhood sweetheart please?
Quote:
James woke up to a ray of light shining through the window. It was quite the reminder for him that he was staying in the country far away from his city home. He arose from his bed knowing Charlotte was in the room just next door. He was not certain if this was a good or a bad thing. He had thought that his feelings toward her had left him long ago. However being in the same house with her for a week now he started to feel some of the feelings he once had come rushing back. Her lovely face was the only thing rushing through his head and it scared him. He was almost certain Charlotte would not want him back in that way. They were good freinds now. The relationship they had complicated their freindship once, was it really worth it to risk it again.

Olivia laughed in delight as she sat up in the bed. She was at Charlotte and Caroline's house! In the country! Away from all the familiar city lights and noisy traffic at home! She decided that she preferred this house much more than every other house she'd ever been in, even if she only arrived yesterday evening and hadn't had even the slightest chance to look round. It was so peaceful and quiet. Peace was impossible in her house because of her three younger siblings, who the girl loved, but found extremely annoying. Maybe there would be some peace when Liv went to train to become a Hogwarts professor. It would be great to go back - she was missing it already, even if they graduated only a few days before.
She beamed as she got up and quickly made her bed, before changing out of her baby blue pajamas into a blue top instead! Blue was brilliant. She loved it so much. She bounded to the dressing table, brushing her long blonde hair, eager to start the day. Oh, yeah. It was the crack of dawn. Nobody would be up yet. Probably enjoying time away from strict bells and stuff. Olivia had always got up early, since she was a kid. Staying in bed was stupid, to her, when you could be up enjoying the day already. She tiptoed down the stairs, anyway, and sat on the sofa holding her favorite book, The Day I Met a Crumple-Horned Snorkack.

History
-Before School
Olivia was born at home on the 18th September, on the exact day she was supposed to be born on. She was always very precise and on time, especially when she learnt to tell the time at Muggle primary school. Her father had insisted that they weren’t homeschooled, but lived like muggle children until the time came for Hogwarts, which they were all pretty much guaranteed to go to. Liv was always very close to her witch mother, much mother than her father, and, although she wouldn’t admit it, she was her mother’s favourite over the messy, destructive twins charging round everywhere. She was the opposite, quiet and polite unless she lost her temper.But that was always over worthwhile things. She loved to read, any books she could get hold of.
-During School
The hat was on her head for more than five minutes, trying to make it’s decision, until she was finally sorted into Gryffindor house, although everyone felt sure she was half-Hufflepuff. Olivia’s first friend was Charlotte, who she met almost straight away in the dorm on their first night, when she was feeling a little homesick. She was alright after Quiddich tryouts, when she made the team, as Chaser, even on a rusty old school broom. Her other talent was singing. She had a lovely voice and practised in the Common room most nights. What amused her, was that everyone begged for more.
Her OWL results were good. That was the year when Liv was made a Prefect! She loooooved it so much! Especially the bathroom. And guiding and helping younger students, of course. Her NEWT results were brilliant. She’d always wanted to be an Auror, and she managed to reach her goal, by arranging Auror training after the holidays. She never did make Head girl, sadly, but it didn’t matter! Not at all! She was going to become an Auror!

School: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
House: Ravenclaw
Relationship Status: Single
Blood Status: Pureblood

What’s standing in front of me. {History/Personality}
----------------------------------------------------------------
Caroline was born on the 30th of April to Gregory and Emily Scarborough approximately 3 minutes after Charlotte. Unlike her sister, she didn't know about the elder brother she was supposed to have but always felt like something was missing. Growing up, she was significantly calmer than her twin, but not quite as brave.
When she received her Hogwarts letter, the first thing she did was to turn to her sister to make sure that Charlie had one too. She never put herself before her twin, nor any part of her family, and Caroline grew up thinking that Charlotte was the favored twin. All this wasn't really known to anyone, it was just something she harbored inside. At Hogwarts, Caroline was made Ravenclaw prefect although she didn't manage to get had girl.
Being twins, the two often disagree, but it usually ends in Carol giving in or them having a compromise. For some reason, they can't bear not to talk to each other for more than a few hours at a time and even though they were sorted into different houses they remained really close.
Growing up, Caroline learned responsibility quickly, although she didn't have to. She took it upon herself to make breakfast for herself and occasionally her twin in the event that her parents weren't there. Money was never really an issue, as they were not badly off and Gregory Scarborough had established a large number of solid connections all across the globe. Caroline is actually accustomed to having strangers over, she just doesn't bother much about it.
Caroline is loyal, very much so when it comes to people she cares about. Especially when it comes to Charlie. If they ever need something, they know she'll drop whatever she was holding to help them. James was a close family friend, but Carol doesn't consider him as close to her as Charlie does. She is, however, very accustomed to seeing him over during the summers.
Of course, then there's the drama of relationships. A little unlike her sister, Caroline has some experience in the romance sector, but she hasn't quite found someone she could relate to as well as she could with Tristan. What would happen when she looks into his eyes and realizes just how blue they really were? She's been falling for him slowly but hasn't noticed all these years. This summer was going to be a wake up call for sure.

I have died. Every day. Waiting for you. {other stuff}

About Him: Beckham is an easy-going smooth talker who is accustomed to getting what he wants when he wants it. His charm and wit allow him to pass in all manner of society with ease. Beckham has an extraordinarily long fuse and is pretty adept at taking things in stride. He does have a bit of a dark sense of humor and enjoys a good joke, while also able to take things seriously when the situation calls for it.
Beckham was raised in a close knit family environment. His father taught him all manner of magic constantly demanding more from his son. Alexander could see the massive potential that Beckham had and never ceased to push his son to the limit. Thanks to his father Beckham always holds himself to a higher standard and never stops striving for more.
Marianne in turn taught her son to be the perfect gentlemen. She made sure that he could pass through any manner of society with the greatest of ease. Under her tutelage Beckham learned how to stand out in a room full of celebrities as well as be able to melt into the background. Marianne was quite skilled in reading people and passed that invaluable skill onto her son. The most important thing she taught him was how to conceal and control his darker nature.
Okay I do believe that we are going to start!!!
__________________________________________________
Tristan Ramsay came down the stairs of the Scarborough home. He looked around to make sure that everything was the way that his Godmother wanted it to be. Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough had already left for the summer and the twins, along with some other guests, were expected to arrive any minute. Him being the Estate Manager of the home, he was expected to make sure everything was ready. Now that he looked around once more it was.
He walked into the kitchen to make sure that the staff gotten tea ready for if anyone wanted a drink after their jounrey. Finally he decided to go make sure each of the guest rooms were ready. Charlotte's and Caroline's rooms were in good shape, just as they had left them in the winter. His room that he had been staying in for years was ready as well. The only other room that was called for was James's that he always used when staying there. Each of the staff rooms were shared by two people, though they too were quite cozy. As for the other guest rooms, they were all identical for the most part and they were ready for use.
There wasn't anything else that Tristan could think of to get ready so he made his way down to the living room to sit and wait until the guests and family started to arrive.
Charlotte stepped off of the train at Platform 9 and 3/4. She was extremely excited to get to apparate seeing as how she had just gotten her liscense to do so. She held on to her trunk tightly and in no time was outside of her home in the English Country Side.
She looked up to the huge house. Everyone that saw it for the first time made a big deal about it. It was gorgeous and the rooms and such inside were exactly the same way. People went on and on about how the Scarborough family lived a life of luxury. But looking at it now Charlie didn't see this luxurious mansion or anything. She simply saw her home.
She walked through the front door and let her trunk be taken away by one of the staff memebers to be put up in her room. "Tristan?" She called out through the house. She knew that her parents would not be here but her godbrother should. She quickly found him in the living room. After giving him a quick hug after not seeing him in a while she walked into the kitchen, got a cup of tea, and waited for the others to arrive.
Revving the engine on his favorite toy Deckland smiled at the sound and accelerated through the light. He guided the machine through traffic with an expert hand weaving in and out of the cars like they weren't even there. He could have gotten to the house easier by apparating but that wouldn't be as fun.
Leaning into a sharp turn he searched for the right address and finally found it. Deckland pulled into the long drive and parked his baby off to the side. Surveying the house as he pulled off his helmet he couldn't help but smirk. Reaching into his saddle bags Deckland pulled out his duffel bag and threw it over his shoulder. Deckland sauntered up to the door and knocked. He tested the knob and found that it was open. Pushing the door open a bit he poked his head through the door.
"Charlotte? CHARLOTTE?" Stupid prefect patrol. It ruined her social life. Olivia hadn't seen her best friend since just after they got on the train. Why was it that seventh-year prefects always had to do the longest patrols. And typically, she had the very last and the very first periods. Hmmph. She was very upset to leave her beloved school, of course, but there were much more exciting things to be happy about! She was going to stay in Charlotte's giant mansion for the holidays! And after summer, she was going to become an Auror! It would be tough and long in training, but most definetely early.
Olivia straightned her dress as she left Platform 9 and 3/4. She ran along the path until she reached a dark alley, with nobody in miles of it. Then, she apparated. The girl had got very good with a little practise, one of the best in the class. But Charlotte was much better than her. That's why she'd been hoping for side-along apparation. When she got there, in front of her was the most beautiful house Olivia had ever seen in her entire life. It was amazing! She couldn't wait to get exploring!It would be the best ever summer by far!
She nearly jumped out of her skin when some sort of staff member approached her and asked for her luggage to put away! Olivia's family wasn't poor, but they didn't have staff members everywhere, offering to help you. She was used to putting away her own luggage when she got home, in the large wardrobe taking up most of the space in her tiny bedroom. And then she'd greet her mother and the twins, and be forced to play their funny little games. The twins, not her mother, obviously. Then she'd go to bed. It was like that for most of her summer, usually.
Olivia nervously pushed open the giant, front door in front of her and somehow made her way to the kitchen, where she saw Charlotte with a cup of tea. Wow, she must have been there a while before her best friend arrived. "CHARLOTTE!" she beamed, as if they hadn't seen each other for years, even though it was only earlier in the morning, on the train. They had pigged out on sweets. She'd had to check whether Bertie Botts had gelatine in them, for the millionth time, just in case they's changed. She couldn't go against her Vegetarian rights. Hehehe.
