Hogwarts RPG Name: Alaric Ashcombe Slytherin First Year | Astrophile Quote:

I only saw one once, but it was unforgettable. Did you know Ilvermorny even named a house after them? They’re such powerful and mysterious creatures.”
She paused, letting the memory wash over her. The Wampus had moved with an almost otherworldly grace, its luminous eyes holding secrets of the wild.Peri sighed, a smile spreading across her face. “There’s something about being out here, surrounded by all this untamed beauty. The mountains and forests feel so comforting, like they’re alive and watching over us.”
Her voice softened as she spoke, a gentle smile playing on her lips. "My sister is the best. She’s taken care of me for so long, and honestly, I don’t think I’d have the strength to do the same if I were in her shoes." There was a flicker of admiration in her eyes, a quiet acknowledgment of her sister’s resilience.
Her gaze shifted as she continued, her tone brightening. "My favorite memories are about family—being together. My older half-siblings would come over for Thanksgiving, and it was always the best time. They’re amazing, you know? They’ve taught me so much over the years." Her words carried warmth, a deep affection for the people who shaped her. She tilted her head slightly, curiosity lighting up her expression. "What about you? Do you have any family traditions?" She leaned forward just a little, genuinely interested in his answer. There was something comforting about sharing these small, personal pieces of life—like weaving two stories together, one thread at a time.
Periwinkle's twirled her hair with her finger "Can you imagine?" she exclaimed, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm. "Secret passageways! Hidden rooms! Oh, I bet there are sooooo many! This place is ancient, like, seriously ancient. Just think of all the wizards and witches who’ve been here before us, leaving behind their secrets, their stories!"
She practically bounced in her seat, her mind racing with possibilities. "What if there’s a hidden library filled with forbidden spells? Or a room that leads to a treasure trove of magical artifacts? Oh! What if there’s a tunnel that takes you straight to Hogsmeade without anyone knowing?!" Periwinkle clapped her hands together, her grin stretching ear to ear. "This castle has seen so much—duels, adventures, mysteries! There’s just *got* to be secret spots everywhere. I bet even the walls are hiding something." She leaned in conspiratorially, whispering to Alaric, "We *have* to find them. Imagine the stories we could uncover!"
Peri’s dark brown eyes sparkled as she spoke, her energy contagious. “I don’t know as much as I’d like to about magic,” she admitted, her hands gesturing animatedly, “but my sister? Oh, she’s a total genius when it comes to that stuff. She’s a Ravenclaw—like, the epitome of Ravenclaw—so you can imagine how ridiculously smart she is. If we ever get stuck, I can just write to her. She always has the answers!”
Her excitement bubbled over as she switched gears. “But you know what? Stories are my thing! I’ve got so many ideas swirling in my head, I can barely keep up. Someday, I’m going to be a writer—like, a real one! I haven’t decided yet if I’ll write epic fiction or dive into journalism, uncovering the world’s secrets. Maybe I’ll do both! Why not, right? The world’s full of possibilities!” She leaned forward, her enthusiasm lighting up the room. “Imagine it—bookshelves lined with my stories, people reading my words on their morning commute or curled up by the fire. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Ugh, I can’t wait!” Her grin was unstoppable, her dreams as vivid as the stars she hoped to reach.
Periwinkle’s eyes widened as she grinned at Alaric. “I promise, you’ll be the very first person I tell if I see anything amazing!” she said, practically bouncing on her toes. The castle was full of secrets, and Periwinkle had always loved the idea of uncovering them. Hidden passageways, forgotten treasures, or maybe even a mysterious creature lurking in the shadows—it was all so thrilling to imagine.
The castle seemed to hum with potential, as if it too was waiting for its secrets to be uncovered. Periwinkle felt a buzz of energy in her chest. This was going to be the start of something incredible—she just knew it!
Alaric’s gray eyes widened as Peri spoke, her excitement drawing him in like a magnet. He couldn't help but grin at her enthusiasm.
“ A Wampus? That’s incredible!” he said, his voice full of awe. “ I’ve read about them! They’re supposed to be super fast and nearly impossible to outsmart, right? Seeing one in real life must’ve been amazing. Way cooler than anything I’ve ever seen.”
He leaned in a bit when she asked about family traditions, his expression softening. “ My family’s not really big on huge celebrations. My mum and I used to make this big breakfast on special days—like birthdays or the first day of summer holidays. She’d make pancakes shaped like magical creatures. I always asked for a phoenix.” A small, fond smile crossed his face. “ I think it was her way of reminding me to be resilient—phoenixes always rise back up, no matter what happens.”
He shifted slightly in his seat as Peri went on about hidden rooms and passageways, and a flicker of excitement replaced his initial nervousness. “ Oh, I’m sure there are tons of secret places here! I mean, the castle’s ancient. If there’s not at least one hidden treasure room or secret tunnel to Hogsmeade, I’ll be really disappointed.” He lowered his voice conspiratorially, “ We’ve definitely got to explore. It wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t.”
When she mentioned her sister, Alaric nodded, his gray eyes thoughtful. “ She sounds brilliant! Having a Ravenclaw for a sister must be handy. If she’s half as clever as you make her sound, we’ll never get stuck.” He paused, then added, “ But… you sound pretty clever yourself. You’ve already got all these stories swirling around in your head—it’s kind of impressive.”
His grin widened as she talked about becoming a writer. “ That sounds amazing! People reading your books all over the world, passing them to friends, waiting for the next one—you’d be a legend! I’d definitely read everything you wrote.” He hesitated for a moment before leaning forward slightly. “ What kind of stories do you like most? Epic adventures, mysteries, or something else? I bet you could write something incredible about Hogwarts once we find all the hidden stuff.”
When she promised to tell him if she found anything amazing, Alaric nodded, his smile more genuine now. “ Deal! And I’ll do the same.” There was a warmth in his tone now, as if the initial cautiousness between them had melted away.
“ This place really does feel like it’s waiting for us, doesn’t it?” he said, glancing up at the enchanted ceiling, his voice quieter but full of excitement. “ We’ve only just started, but I already know it’s going to be unforgettable.”
