The Revelyn Home


Image credit to Salty Secrets.

Rae and Evelyn are both two Slytherin girls who, one way or another, have ended up with no home. Both have two very different stories and very different emotions. Rae has received a surprise inheritance from her father who has passed. He left a broken, old, dusty house, but either way, it's all she's got. Once receiving it she invited Evelyn to come and live with her. Together along with other friends they will attempt to fix up a house suitable enough to live in, then try actually living in it while still younger than the wizard adult age.

Name: Rae Lilyan Skye (formerly Alicia Rae Quirregen)
Age:15/16
House: Slytherin
A picture or physical description:

SPOILER!!: Rae

Except she has vivid purple highlights.
Brief personality description (not very brief):Rae is always a pretty chill person, there's not many times where you will see her freaking out yelling at someone or causing a big scene.. (Though it has happened before.) Rae never likes to cry in front of people. She chooses to either break up the drama at hand or stay out of it, she never likes to be in the middle of it. To some people she can be quiet and seem not caring but to others that know her more she is very caring and can be quite loud at times. Since she failed her second year, she gets along with older kids.. (Because she is older than everyone in her year) She doesn't really like younger people though has been more open to people.. Most third years are fine with her but she never likes to tolerate first or second years.
Brief history(Again not very brief): Ever since Rae was small, she took more after her father, (Raziel Gray Quirregen) and her older sister (Kaleigh Dean Quirregen) took after her mother (Vienna June Quirregen). Leaving her sister and mother not too thrilled with Rae her whole life. Just before Rae's first year of school, her father died. Rae was to live on her own after that in London. She had been living in various places while stealing money to get by or something of the sort. While in her fourth year Rae received a letter from her mother telling her that she would receive her inheritance and she would also be removed from the Quirregen family. Leaving her to find a new name and wondering what her inheritance was. Rae found that her father had left her his old house with some money and a letter from him. While also in her fourth year she has gained many friends and has fallen in love with Xylon Saar.

[Roselyn]

SPOILER!!: Picture of Evelyn

Name: Evelyn Rose -
Age: 13/14
House: Slytherin
Blood status: Pureblood
Year they will be entering: 4th year
A picture or physical description: (5’4”) Dark brown hair, tan skin, black eyes (once a very light hazel), and she does have a slight scar on her right shoulder meeting up to her neck from an incident in her second year, but it's hardly noticeable.
Dislikes needed to know: She hates people in her space or unwanted contact. And she's terrified of spiders. hehe.

Brief personality description: Smart, confident, sometimes loyal, and a ‘go after what you want’ kind of girl, Evelyn doesn’t let anything stand in her way. She is a Leo after all. Being a very independent person, as well as a very big perfectionist, she hates when things don’t go her way, which causes her short temper to arise sometimes. However, usually she is a very patient person; having learned that one couldn’t rush perfection, or mischievous plans which she is always constantly thinking up for future times. Once a shy girl from before, she has become quite the individual and it takes a lot to sneak up on her, although, it doesn’t take much to anger her and be on her bad side. Be warned!

Brief history: Evelyn grew up with everything that was expected from a pureblood family. She had everything she needed from tutors, to the latest toys and brooms, to the love of her parents and pretty much thought she owned the world. However, she did have to grow up rather quickly from the strict rules set by her father, but that didn’t stop her from having the time of her life; until she found ‘the room’ on accident one night. The room was filled with old and new books, parchments, notes, and everything in between whether they were bought or handwritten. Most of these items, if not all, dabbled in the dark arts, and being the curious person that she was and someone who loved learning to better herself, Evelyn read as much as she could, thinking that it would help her in the long run and make her parents even more proud. How wrong she was. Eventually, her parents had turned on her, leaving her to almost take care of herself with the help of one of their house elves, Bibby. The addition of her little brother to the family only caused her to become more depressed and rebellious, (as she saw them fond over him and cherish his every waking moment), including talking to herself which in turn, became real conversations with a random voice in her head. Sometimes it even convinced her to try out some of the spells written down in those notes, books, and other things in the room with her father's wand.

Nowadays though, the voice had melded with her own thoughts so she pretty much doesn’t know which are hers, and which the voice is. Reading and absorbing so much of the dark magic when she was younger had poisoned her to the point where now, since she hadn’t 'done' anything in the dark arts in a few years, she’s starting to feel the weight of it hanging on her shoulders and mind. What makes it even worse is that her parents finally disowned her in the middle of her third year, so she is now on her own. She is living with her best friend for the summer though, and will be moving into a new house with Rae once they fix it up, but right now, she is definitely not a happy camper.

[Fira]

Name: Joshua Matt Carter
Age: 14/15
House: Gryffindor
Blood status: Half-blood
Year they will be entering: 4th year
A picture or physical description:

SPOILER!!: Pic of Josh

Brief personality description: Josh is simply a mischievous, brave Gryffindor who inevitably inherited his mother's Ravenclaw brain. Yet while he is oblivious to his Ravenclaw sides, he is definitely not the kind of person to think much before act and he mostly relies on his never ending confidence and boldness to deal with things instead of his brains. He is also overly protective of the people around him and would always run for anyone's help without thinking for a moment that he might hurt himself. Physical pain is nothing for him while he can protect his friends and family so the boy's number one life purpose is to the protect the ones he loves.

Brief history: Joshua Carter was born to muggle Matthew Carter who works for muggle police and pureblood witch Amelia Carter who studies Herbology and Aritmancy and who was disinherited by her family for marrying a muggle. He was the happy couple's second child before his sister Rosa Carter died in an attack to their home by Amelia's enemies at her 17th age while trying to protect her brother. The brother and sister were alone in the home during the attack but hopefully the arrival of their family friend, Ryan Chambers, saved the boy before he could be taken by the dark wizards. After that day since he witnessed their home burning down, the effects of that were quite traumatic for the boy and he was psychologically disturbed so the parents decided to suspend his arrival to Hogwarts for a year during which he was treated by again Mr Chambers who is also a Psychologist.

[Destiny]

SPOILER!!: Destiny :D

Name: Destiny Shepard
Age: 14..will be 15 in October
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Pureblood
Year they will be entering: 1st 4th

A picture or physical description: Destiny is 5'6", with brown hair and blue eyes. She can sometimes be seen wearing a pair of goggle-like glasses, but has been wearing contacts lately..because she seems to break her glasses a lot.

Brief personality description: Destiny is the definition of weird. Of course if you look up that word in the dictionary, you will NOT see a picture of her, you will simply see the definition. She is quite the random with her mindful of animal facts that she likes to share; usually sharing them at the wrong time (like when she is in trouble). She has a habit of believing almost everything she is told and tends to let sarcasm fly over her head. Even though she doesn't understand when sarcasm is being thrown at her, she seems to understand how to throw it herself. She likes chocolate, and ever since watching the muggle box, telliewission television, she has come to the conclusion that she is, indeed, a spy.

Brief history: Will fill this in later when my brain isn't all wonky.

Text Cut: Kylie's picture

Name: Kylie Jayde Matthews
Age: 14
Year: Entering 4th
Physical Description: In the picture, pretty much. Except she has emerald green eyes.
House: Hufflepuff
Blood Status: Half
Brief Personality: A little quirky, a little fun, incredibly smart, bold. A little bit of a quick temper with people she doesn't like. For the most part, the number of people she doesn't like is quite low. She loves people for who they are and see's something brilliant in everyone. Friendships may mean the world to her, but adventure and excitement are things she loves to slip into as well. She's been described as shy when around new people.
Brief History: Since she was raised by muggle parents (Jayde and Eric Matthews) she knew nothing of her powers until her maternal grandmother came one day when she was about eight to tell her what she was. Her parents were upset by the knowledge that their daughter was different--but they were supportive and knew that she'd be able to do great things one day. Her mother was the most upset, as she'd always been cast away from the wizarding life (being a squib), but eventually came to the realization that her daughter would now have a place to be accepted. Even though her grandmother was now teaching her about the wonderful world of magic, her parents had her continue at muggle school. "She still needs a more practical education!" they'd say. She'd always had lots of 'friends', but chose to keep them at bay. She never wanted anyone to come too close and hurt her, or find out she was a witch. Coming to Hogwarts would be new, thrilling, nerve-wracking, exciting...right up Kylie's alley. Up until Kylie was around 6, she'd lived in France. Giving her some knowledge of the French language. She then moved to a small town near London, England. Overall, Kylie's family is very loving and supporting of her. The one thing they aren't very supportive of, is her slight tendency to be a trouble maker.. especially since she's quite klutzy, so innocent ideas sometimes end up with serious consequences.

[brelovesweasleys]

Rae found the place after getting lost a couple times, no biggie though right? Though she was sure that Evelyn wasn't having the best of times. She looked up at the dusty and.... broken place. It was going to need a lot of work. "Good thing they transfered the house key into the vault." She said to Evelyn, she hadn't thought about a key until she saw it in the vault. She had almost put the key in the door when she turned her head, "Here goes," Key in, door open... Inside was dust... Lots of dust. It was kind of dark in there, with cobwebs laced over what was once nice furniture. Tattered curtains and creaky floorboards. It was one of those houses that you could tell it was really nice at one point, and still is, its just old and needs.... Well a lot of work..

Rae set her back on the table.. "Home sweet home?" She was kind of nervous about Evelyn's reaction, she knew that Evelyn did NOT want this.. At least Rae was trying to make this work and help?

[Jessica]

Name: Xylon Saar
Age: Seventeen

Blood status: Pureblood
Patronus: Sphinx

House: Gryffindor

Description: Xylon stands at an inch less than six feet. He has a strong jaw, black hair that is scarcely ever messy, and hazel eyes. He has a scar on his upper left shoulder, the mark of a certain incident, and a tattoo on his right forearm.

Family and history: Born to two rich purebloods who, unlike him, are quite nice. He had a twin brother, whom he lost in a Quidditch game that should never have happened - the reason he avoids broomsticks altogether, now. He changed school four times, in his seven years of magical schooling. Twice, the reason was expulsion. His parents finally promised him whatever he asked, if he could get through his last year at Hogwarts, without major trouble.

Personality: Xylon is a jerk. Seriously, he is. He's quick to laugh, even quicker to be sarcastic, and he smirks - a lot. He's intelligent, athletic, excellent with (sarcastic) comebacks, and has a love of thrill. He likes to take risks and the higher the stakes, the better it is for him.

Deep, dark secrets: Yes. You might find them out, if you can get him to trust you.

[Roselyn]

There was one great reason why she hated traveling anywhere, especially if one didn't know where they were going. For one, it took time out of her day when she could've been doing other more important things, and two, traveling actually made her not feel so well. So when they apparently finally ended up at the right place, Evelyn sat down on the top step next to the door as Rae talked about some key of sort. Normally, she would've scoffed at the idea of using a key to open a house door, but right now, she was just trying to keep her mind focused and her breakfast down.

Which is also why she didn't eat while traveling. But, she was stupid enough to have the breakfast, so this was her punishment.

Hearing the door open, Evelyn glanced behind over her shoulder to see Rae walking inside, so heaving herself up, the Slytherin followed suit and gently closed the door behind herself after entering the house. It didn't take long to realize that the place was in fact...dusty. Extremely so. To the point where it felt like her throat was starting to close up. "Jeez." she coughed, taking a few steps into the place and looking around. Oh wow...

This was noooot at all what she was expecting. She thought 'fixing up' was more like, the furniture didn't match the walls or they needed new pictures or something. Not needing...new everything. "Are those..."

"...spider webs?"



*hyperventilate*

[brelovesweasleys]

Oh gosh, Rae made the mistake of looking over at Evelyn's reaction... She immediately felt bad, she wish she could just give a brand new house to Evelyn that was not dusty or covered in webs. "Yes.... They are, but I'll try to clean those first! I-I... I'm sorry." AHHHH! What to do what to do?!?! "I'm sorry, I know this isn't what you want." Rae felt like she couldn't stop apologizing. Evelyn was used to a different lifestyle, Rae was used to cold concrete at night, to her this was glorious. "I'll-I'll clean your room first..." Rae started to move when she stopped, realizing that Evelyn had not yet picked a room. She knew there was one downstairs, and three upstairs.. The one at the end of the hall being her fathers, and the one closest being the one that Rae and Kaleigh shared. "Uh, which one would you like?"

[Roselyn]

There were spiders in here. Spider webs didn't come without spiders. BIG spiders! She could tell just by the web that they were humongous. Oh Merlin...oh no no no....

Taking a step back towards the door again, having all intentions of staying outside until the nasty monsters and their homes were gone, Rae's apologizing was the one thing that made her stop in her steps. She knew of course, she should at least try to make it seem that she was happy with the place, since she sorta was. It did have a nice look to it, even though it was old and dirty and small. At least there was no sheep out in the front or back.

"No." she said suddenly, letting her gaze linger on Rae as she took the small step forward again. "I...I want to clean my room. By myself." That was her space, and even though Rae was her friend and generous enough to let Evelyn live with her, she still had troubles sharing her things. Including...her space. Feeling it a bit difficult to swallow, Evelyn wrung her hands in front of her, making sure to stay clear of the walls and well...anything else nearby. "Where are the rooms?"

Breathe. That's all she needed to do at the moment. Calm and deep breathes.

[brelovesweasleys]

OOC:Sorry I took forever. So I kinda made floor plans for both levels, they aren't really exact and look kind of ridiculous. The pictures you need to really use your imagination, with the dust and cobwebs and whatever's broken. If it seems like a small space in the picture, It really isn't, this is quite a big house, so spread some things out. I also apologize for the quality of some of the pictures. Thanks.


Rae looked at her with an uneasy emotion. Making Evelyn comfortable was important, especially here, she already knew Evelyn wouldn't last living outside. So it was important to make things work here. When Evelyn insisted on cleaning her room Rae was a bit surprised... "Alright then.. The bedrooms are kinda scattered, there's one down here and 3 upstairs. I'll give you a quick.. Tour thing, and you can see the rooms that way.."

Rae led Evelyn in the house, trying to remember everything on the first floor. Well, they were in a hallway, she was starting to remember, so if she was correct, then there should be the living room to the left, and sure enough, there was a walkway right to her left that led into the dingy and dark room. You could definitely tell there hasn't been anyone in there for a while. "This is our living room, It... Has a fireplace... Which is good for winter." Rae wasn't sure how to make anything she sounded pleasing to Evelyn. "Uh... Onward then.." Then she turned around.

They passed the stairs to go to the next room which were now the double wooden (not heavy though) doors on their right. "Uh, This is the office... It was my dad's favorite room because of the windows.." With that comment she took hold of the two door handles and swung them open. Yep, the office. Though the windows, she knew what her father meant now, the curtains were torn and tattered, still. Rae walked over and pushed the curtains over on each window, you could see the whole meadow here, it looked peaceful. "Kaleigh and I weren't allowed in here too often, but we played a game where we would draw pictures and hide them in here." Rae turned to the desk, looked in one of the drawers, and there was a folded paper heart in there. That was Kaleigh's, she wouldn't teach Rae how to make a paper heart, it was her secret. Rae closed the drawer again. "So... I don't know what we could do with this room really, but I guess we can figure that out." Rae slowly moved back toward the door towards the next room...

Rae walked down to the end of the hall first. She put her hand on a door handle and turned it, but hesitated and did not open it. Rae made a face... "This, is the downstairs bathroom, but... No one has been to this house for years... Could we, not take the tour into the bathroom just yet?" Wasn't that the best idea? Anyways, onward!

There was only one more door that was connected to the hallway. Rae already knew that this was the plainest one, and it was basically bare. She opened the door to reveal a very plain bedroom but with enough in it to let someone stay in there. "This is one of the bedrooms. We kept it pretty plain because no one really came over. We didn't have much of a use for two of the rooms. So this is the only bedroom downstairs though. can still come in handy for us though." Not very much to see, Rae left the door still open as she started to walk back towards the living room, there was still more to see on the first floor.


OOC: That's all for this post. Goodness, I'll get the next two rooms in the next post. And then the upper floor after that alright?

[Roselyn]

A tour. Yea, that was a good idea. A tour, and theeen she could claim a bedroom. Of all her own!

Once Rae started walking, Evelyn fleeeeew to her side and practically clung to the older girl's arm. Her breathing may have started to become a bit quicker as she spotted another spider web...only this time...with a spider ON it, but the only thing she could do with cling tighter to Rae's arm. If she was cutting off the girl's circulation, she would have never known. Too scared and all.

Now facing the first room of the house, the almost fourteen year old's eyes widened when she saw just how big it was. Obviously, this was the living room and Rae didn't need to tell her that, but she shook her head in amazement anyways. It was nice. She could see how the room would look once it was cleaned up and everything was fixed which slightly helped her in easing into a comfortable mood about the place. It wasn't all that bad, and it definitely was not anything like she had been expecting. Thank Merlin for that.

Keeping the tight grip on the girl's arm, the Slytherin kept her eyes peeled on the walls for any signs of more spiders as they walked to the next room. She could FEEL them staring at her. Feeling a bit uncomfortable now, holding onto Rae's arm with a death grip and all, she dropped her arms and held them tightly around her stomach, staring at everything in the...office. She could understand why Rae's father liked the room because of the windows. Having taken a step forward to see out them, she was surprised to see how...beautiful it was. Completely missing what was said about some pictures, she was already imagining ways they could change up the room.

Meh, she'll voice her opinions later though. Right now, Rae was leaving her in the spider infested ROOM! EEK! Hurrying after the older Slytherin, she stood rather close to her again as they continued to move onto the next room. Wait, bathroom? And no one has been... "Ew." she muttered, grimacing and turning away. She mentally claimed that she was noooot going to be cleaning any bathrooms. Rae could do that. As well as get rid of the spiders.

Following the girl down the hall, Evelyn peaked into the next room that the girl showed her. Yup, it was pretty plain. Almost, ugly so. As Rae walked away though, the black eyed girl paused at the doorway, glancing down at the floorboards. The thoughts running through her mind as she stared at them...well, what her friend didn't know wouldn't kill her. She already had a few plans here too.

Taking a deep breathe, she closed the door that was still open before going off to find where the other girl had gone. So far, this was an okay house. Just...needed a lot of fixing up to do.

[brelovesweasleys]

OOC: Just kinda mix the two pictures of the kitchens together, I couldn't really find what I wanted.

Right... Evelyn hadn't said much, which made Rae more nervous as they went. She was trying, trying to make this alright, but she felt that she was failing, and Rae knew she wouldn't know how to be in this house by herself. Rae kept her thoughts and emotions quiet as she went back to the living room to enter the next two rooms.

Rae walked through the living room keeping clear of the corners or walls for spiderwebs and whatnot, also glancing at the floor so she wouldn't step on a broken floorboard or something. Then Rae finally reached the kitchen 1 2... Yep, it was probably one of the first rooms that needed to be cleaned... along with the bathroom.... eww. "So... Yeah, I guess this is where we keep food... Nothing special right?" Except it was special, at least to Rae it was, this house was her last memory.

Walking a little further into the kitchen she turned into a new room which was what you could tell was the dining room. "Here's the dining room, obviously... We might need to get new furniture for this room, or chairs at least." For yes, there were a couple broken chairs, with pieces of wood scattered around the room. This room, like the others, was very dark and dingy from what used to be a house that had sunlight flowing through every window.

Rae turned around to look at Evelyn, "This... Concludes the first floor.... The second floor is just, 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom and......." Rae didn't think about this, she didn't previously brace herself for what she would need to do here. "And my father's room." Face that he gave all of this to her, then go through his possesions... How could she do that? She really didn't feel that she was ready to walk through her father's old room.

Yet, they must press on, Evelyn hasn't chosen a room yet.

[Roselyn]

Oh...oh no...

THIS was the kitchen?

Everything was so outdated! And, rather gross looking. This was the first thing that they were going to be fixing up. Both of them. She was not going to be cooking in here while it was like this and frankly, she wasn't even going to stash a piece of bread in here until it was clean. "It's...." well she didn't know what it was. Nice? Okay? Could be better? "Well, we can fix it up." Walking a little more into the kitchen, towards the sink, she was about to place her hands on the counter part so she could lift herself slightly to look out the window but, she cringed away instead when she saw the...mold. Oh, ew.

Clearing her throat, she followed Rae instead to the next room, finding that this room was probably the cleanest in the entire house so far. Regardless of the broken chairs and wood pieces, and it was nothing compared to what she had before, but, it was a very nice dining room. Staring out of the windows, in the back of her mind, she could hear Rae speaking, and it became clearer as the moments continued forward. Oh good, she was going to see the other bedrooms...next...

Raising a brow slightly in concern, Evelyn looked over to the older girl when she mentioned her father's room. The almost fourteen year old couldn't tell if she was excited or nervous to be seeing her father's room again. Perhaps both? "Let's go then." she said, mustering up a small smile and gesturing towards the kitchen again. Seemed like the only way to get back to the hallway anyways since there was no door in the dining room leading out to it.

Hmm, perhaps they could change that later on.

[brelovesweasleys]

Rae wasn't sure how she should brace herself for the upcoming events... Deep breaths? No no... Rae wished she had some of that calming draught that the healer gave her for charms class. Unfortunately she took the rest of that when her wrist broke that night in the corridors. Rae just decided that she wont do anything to prepare and just go with it, though that probably won't help her much. "Um, right, the second floor then.."

She turned back into the kitchen and then back into the living room where she once again, watched for spiderwebs in the corners and whatnot. Now to the stairs... Rae hesitated at the wooden stairs, she didn't want one to break while stepping on it, yet they must proceed.. First step, good... Second step, good.... Third, Fourth, Fifth step, fine.... Sixth step.... Nope. Rae had started to gain confidence in the stairs until the sixth step when she shifted her weight up on the step only to feel her foot break through the wood. She quickly raised her foot back up and grabbed the railing for support, which she didn't think if it was safe either but it held her fine. Rae controlled her breathing, allowing her heart rate to return to its normal speed. Skipping that particular step, she went on until she got up to the top.

The hallway was particularly dark, because there were no windows to let at least a little light in like the rooms did. Facing her were three closed doors, then turning around she saw the long dark hallway with the walls covered in photos of the family and one other closed door. Rae decided that she would go down the hallway last. Rae turned to her right to the nearest door, she was about to open it then stopped... "Uhh, Gimme a moment, I can't exactly remember which room is which right now..." She thought, and thought, then moved her hand away from that particular handle, "Pretty sure that's the upstairs bathroom." Then moving her hand towards the other door she remembered that was her fathers.... Uhhhhh.... To the left then, "We'll get back to that room," Rae wasn't ready for it, but moving to her left side she found a door that she could open.

Opening that door was like the door to her childhood. Walking through was an archway to the past. She had just walked into her and Kaleigh's old room. Ah yes, the ultimate girl room, complete with 2 matching beds with lace and bows and porcelain dolls everywhere. Of course, it wasn't so pretty anymore, the lace ripped, the bows tattered, the dolls mostly broken, and yes, there was dirt everywhere too. "This... Well, I bet you could guess what room this was... Kaleigh picked out everything in this room. My father said that since she was older she got to choose. She wanted the lace and bows and dolls... " Though Rae wasn't all that girly herself, she missed the room, because of the memories it held, but just like her sister did to her, she must simply cast those memories and her sister aside. "Anyways, if you want this room, you can get rid of all of this..... Well, even if you don't want this room, we need to get rid of all of this." NEXT!

Across the hall and down a little is the last bedroom that Evelyn can choose from, this one, as Rae recalls is a bit nicer than the one downstairs. "So uh, this is the last open bedroom." The room was quite big though not as big as her and Kaleigh's old room. "So the last room is my father's room.." Rae backed out of the bedroom she was currently in and back down towards the room that she still wasn't ready to see...

Her hand was on the doorknob, then she took a breath and opened the door which creaked loudly.

Raziel's room 1 2, could easily be described as a cross between a library and a bedroom, He kept all his favorite books in his room with him. As well as a desk for when he himself would write novels and journals. Shelves were all over his room and covered with dusty books, he had a king size bed and around his desk and in various places were a bunch of small odd knick knacks.

Rae knew this moment was coming, but still, once she saw the all too familiar room she had to shut her eyes, for she felt tears coming, but she would not cry. She never cried in front of people, and Xylon was the only exception. How she wished he was here now. Rae held back the tears as she opened her eyes again and tried to look as normal as possible, "Yeah, so that's that... Now what?" Please Evelyn, do something, choose a room or find a scary spider, ANYTHING to get her mind off of this room... She'd rather deal with it later.

Kylie hadn't known if Evelyn and Rae had gotten a floo system set up yet, so, she'd flown to the house that had been described to her. It had taken her a while... but eventually, she'd found her way to what she hoped was the right building. Quietly, she landed outside the house and stood there, looking at it.

It looked... well. It was a house. Which, Kylie supposed, was what Rae and Evelyn needed. She still wasn't sure if it was the proper house, but she swallowed her doubt and walked up to what looked like the front door. She took a deep breath and straightened up a bit before knocking on the door.

She really hoped muggles didn't live here. It would be hard to explain the broom, in the event she'd gotten it wrong.

[brelovesweasleys]

Rae heard a knock, she perked up YESSSSSSS! Something to distract her! Just what she needed, Her voice was not more cheery as she said to Evelyn "I'll get it!" She didn't know who it was, but she really didn't care. Evelyn could look around her father's room or something, that would be the only time she could probably see it anyways, Rae will be closing it off to everyone but her soon. Hopefully Evelyn won't break anything of her dad's though.

Rae walked briskly down the hall then down the stairs, though she was cautious, especially the sixth broken stair. Until she had finally got to the door. After taking a firm grasp of the handle she swung it open to see "Kylie!" Rae smiled at her, then stepped aside to allow Kylie inside. "Uh, I'm sorry.. There's um... Nothing to really do at the house right now... We just got here ourselves." Except clean.. No food, no clean or unbroken furniture.... Cleaning, that was basically it... And watch Evelyn freak out at spiders.

Kylie's lips moved into a huge smile as she saw Rae. She wasn't really sure whether to hug her, most Slytherin's weren't fans of hugs--so she stayed clear. She looked around and smiled, "It's okay, it looks brilliant." Kylie was so optimistic, to her, it really did. It seemed a little dreary... but that would change. "Did you guys get a magic warrant? You know, permission to use magic to fix the place up?"

It would be so much easier that way.

[brelovesweasleys]

Right, brilliant. Rae figured that Kylie was just trying to look on the brighter side of things, but... Not so easy for Rae. She was happy to finally have a house to be in for the first time in years, but only to really face her dad's death first.

Wait...

WHAT?

"Magic warrant? You can get those?! Even if you're underage?!" Why wasn't Rae told about this earlier?! OH NOOO!
"We should go upstairs to Evelyn." Tell her about this magic warrant... SERIOUSLY! Rae turned to go back down the hall and up the stairs.. "Kylie, watch the sixth step!"

[Roselyn]

Evelyn was getting rather impatient now for some odd reason. Once they were up on the second floor, which almost looked completely like the first floor...old, dirty, and covered in cobwebs...the Slytherin took in a deep breathe and let it out slowly as she made it to the top step. Not a sigh of frustration but...just a sigh. Perhaps a tired sigh more like it.

Raising a brow at the door that Rae said they would come back to, Evelyn shrugged her shoulders and followed the older girl to a different room, taking note of where the bathroom was supposed to be. However, having been looking at the walls and archway, she was completely unprepared when her gaze moved down slightly and saw...PINK. This was Rae's and her sister's room?

......

Evelyn felt so sorry for the older Slytherin. Despite the look of it, since everything in there had to go, the black eyed girl wanted this room. She could tell it had a nice view from the window, and it was big enough. Well, no it wasn't. Her room was twice as big at home, but it was alright. It was definitely better then that guest room or whatever it was downstairs. That was like a prison! Hearing Rae say she could get rid of all this stuff, Evelyn sighed a big relief sigh as she leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms and staring into the room. The dolls enough creeped her out, and those...would definitely be the first to leave. Perhaps she could place her quill collection there? It would be so nice to have a place with great sunlight to shine on them and bring out their full color. Instead of being stuck in her trunk that is.

Not even noticing Rae leaving to another room until the 'Father' word was mentioned, the black eyed girl slowly made her way to follow, rubbing her eyes as she went. They were starting to sting again. She had misplaced the potion the professor had given her, resulting, in terrible nights of sleep, but she doubted it was because she wasn't taking the potion anymore. Staring into space as she was being showed Rae's Father's room, she jumped slightly when it seemed Rae was...looking at her for something to do? What? Woah, what was THIS room?

Raising a brow, hearing a dim knock come from downstairs, Evelyn was about to move forward to answer it when she paused right in the middle of her stride, watching Rae go down in stead. That was fine. Whatever. It would give her time to look around this amazing room. Look at that small library! With books still stack neatly on the shelves. Moving forward, faintly hearing voices from downstairs, the girl found herself in front of the shelves of books, leaning forward to read each title.

It was a shame she couldn't have this room. Would Rae freak out if she took out a book from one of the shelves? Meh, she was going to anyways.

[brelovesweasleys]

Now at the top of the stairs and walking down to the end of the hall where she left Evelyn. In her father's room Evelyn was found in front of one of the many shelves of books that were in the room. "His favorite ones were up here, He was a writer, so some of his books are in those shelves also. If you want.... You can borrow them. All the rest of his books are downstairs in the office. And a few in the living room." Yes, there were shelves of books everywhere. Rae was sincere about letting Evelyn borrow some of his favorite books, or any of them, as long as his favorite ones returned back to this room when she was done. Rae never read the books that her father wrote, she was too young. She didn't even know what kind of books he wrote. She would get to that eventually.

"Evelyn, apparently there is a magic warrant we can get so we can use magic to fix the house up..... WE NEED THAT! Do you know where to get one?"

To both of you

Kylie followed Rae up the stairs silently. Turning quickly after skipping over the 6th step. No one ever got arrested for fixing a step up... did they? Well, she'd find out. Last summer she'd had permission to travel the world magically with her brother, she figured fixing one little stair wouldn't do any harm. She murmured an incantation and pointed her wand at the step, fixing it.

She went up to what definitely seemed to be a library, Rae was talking to Evelyn, from the sound of it. To make a slightly more grand entrance, Kylie started talking before she actually walked in the room. "Well, you do need adult signatures and stuff. My grandma got me one to travel with my brother." She turned the corner and smiled at Evelyn. Sight for sore eyes. But, she knew how Evelyn felt about hugs, even though she REALLY wanted one. Her arms twitched up ever so slightly before she shoved them back down. Her green eyes stood out in the room, and at the sight of books, her eyes naturally widened.

She liked books.

[Roselyn]

Hmmm?

Her eyes widened slightly as she turned her head to look over her shoulder at the door, halfway in the process of taking a book down from a higher shelf. Staring at Rae, it seemed she wasn't so upset with her taking one of the books. In fact, she was letting her borrow them. Well, that was nice of her.

Raising a brow though at Rae's next question about a magic warrant, still in a statue like position as if she were caught red handed and silently cursing herself for not thinking of having them get a magic warrant sooner, her ears picked up another set of footsteps and a voice. Wait. She knew that voice. That sweet...yet annoying voice. And, there she was. Oh jeez. How did she get here? More importantly, what did she know? HMM?

Placing the book back onto the shelf as she continued to stare at the other two, Evelyn cleared her throat before taking a step closer. "We'd get one from the Ministry." Duh. Looking from Rae to Kylie, who was unfortunately, absolutely right, the Slytherin smiled and waved slightly. "And...Kylie is right. We'd need an adult signature to get the warrant." The both of them, did not realize, how hard that was for her. Agreeing with Kylie.

KYLIE! Of all people. She'd rather agree with Kay!....

.....

"Kylie!" she finally exclaimed with a bit of a fake happy welcome, gesturing her hands to the Hufflepuff, though making no movement towards her. "You're...here!" Whyyy was she here? "How are you?"
