Hogwarts RPG Name: Margaret Jacqueline Atkinson Morris Fifth Year | Visit #6 Potter’s Princess A+ FangGirl It was obvious that: 1) Melina was definitely not in the mood to study, and 2) she loved that jarvey quite too much, for in less than an hour, the little red headed girl was kneeled on the floor of the nursery, opening the cage where Rumple slept. She just couldn't wait to hold that furry, little baby on her hands again and teach him a couple more words. That day she had planned to teach him how to ask 'how are you?' and respond 'I'm fine'. She wasn't sure if he'd be able to learn it all at once since the last time she had taught him something, he'd end up getting moody for saying a word wrong and make weird noises at her. And now she was attempting to make him learn full sentences so... hmm... Well, she'd see how it would go.
"Hello, there!," She picked him up sweetly and nuzzled his nose. At once, she giggled. It was kind of cold and moisty, just like a kittie's nose. Hmmhmm, she definitely liked Rumple. And she liked him very, very, VERY much.
Grinning at the husky "hello", she settled him on her lap. "Do you want to learn some new words, Rumple?," She asked him, tilting her head as her hand ran across his head. Once the jarvey shook his head in a resounding negative, she frowned. "No?," Looking at the bag she had laid on her side, her lips twisted into a victorious smile. Maybe... At once, she opened her bag and took a thick book out of there. "What do you think of listening to a fairytale then?," She asked him. When she had no answer whatsoever, she smiled comfortingly at him. "Don't worry, they're pretty," She promised, nodding at him.
Moving him to sit on one of her knees, she opened "The Complete and Illustrated Works of Hans Christian Andersen" on her other knee and quickly started to flip through the worn pages, stopping once she read the title "Thumbelina". "What do you think of this one, Rumple? I think it fits us both, since we're both really small," She smiled at him and, with no other answer, started to read the words she already knew from memory.
Once she was done reading, the baby's eyes were already starting to close. Hmmm... He really was a sleepy one. Giggle.
"Go sleep, Rumple. I'll come back as soon as I can," She promised, pecking his head before placing it back inside her cage. Two minutes later, she was walking out of the nursery, again, glad to know that her jarvey actually liked fairytales.
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
