The Unauthorized Autobiography of Ottery St. Catchpole - Sa13+ By Otts & Teddy ----------------------------------------------------- This one's for Ronboy45. Finally, a boy after being surrounded by so many girls. :glomp: *glomps Ronboy* :lol: Once upon a time, in a little town in Bethlehem (Ottery try to stay on topic here) oh right. *Ahem* Once upon a time in a little town in Mexico, (circa 1905) a little boy wizard was born to humble people. He was named after the town that his witch mother (*Teddy gasps* Ottery!) had been born and raised in before following her wizard husband back to his home in Mexico. His name was Ottery St. Catchpole and this is the story of his adventures in the wizarding world. * 1916 He was running through a meadow laughing. His friend Ruben chasing after him. Not exactly tag, since Ruben wanted to pound Ottery into the ground for that little prank he had pulled just a minute before. "Te voy a matar!" He yelled. "You have to catch me first," Ottery screamed back, laughing. He tripped on a rock and fell disappearing in the tall grass of the plains. Ruben, the blonde haired boy and Ottery's best friend, tripped on the boy's leg and fell over him squooshing him. "Ouch," Ottery yelled. "Serves you right," Ruben said suddenly. The boys started fighting, fists flying, and rolling on the grass, Ottery laughing and Ruben smiling in spite of himself. The boy really was a crazed nut. They stopped when they heard the sound of a motor running. It was not a common sound in the country, or anywhere for that matter given that it was 1916 and the car was still in it's infancy. What was more, they lived in a little town away from the muggles, so the boys stopped their roughhousing to look up and see what the matter was. A sound like a whooping crane or a bird getting strangled was sounding too. They stood up in the grass and watched the road as a muggle car drove by. An oddly dressed man was sitting behind the wheel, a portly figure dressed all in khaki and wearing goggles of all things driving a barely moving (it must've been 16 miles...that was fast back then Otts) vehicle. A good broom could do that easily. "Who do you think that is?" Ruben asked. "Some crazy muggle, you ask me." Ottery replied. "But what's he doing out here and why's he making all those awful noises?" "It's not him stupid, it's the car," Ruben said slapping the boy on the arm. "Stupid?" Ottery remarked before turning around laughing, "I'm not the one who ate that dulce con purga." He started laughing and running, and it had begun again, Ruben was chasing Ottery through the grassy fields outside of his hometown...what would seem to him like a lifetime ago. But for that day at least and in that moment they were lost in joy. Though they were wrong in thinking that it would last forever, or that the man driving the car was a muggle. * Rules: No quote by quote replies, you wanna quote something fine, you quote the whole post I'll ignore ya. This is for me, and this is for fun so... =P if you take it seriously. *waves as he leaves* Ottery: C'mon Teddy we've got a plot to figure out... Teddy: Shouldn't be too hard Otts, it's your life. Ottery: True. :yes: You think they got the joke? With the title I mean... <_< Teddy: You give 'em too much credit... |
O: Who was that masked man? T: The one in the car? O: Nooooooooooooo Me. Ottery: Don't everyone crowd in all at once. I want everyone to read my bio... <_< Teddy: Face it Otts. Your time in the limelight is over... Ottery: It wasn't me that got smaller it was the pictures... (dedicate my next post to you if you know what movie that's from) |
Slow but steady wins the race... It would not be until that evening that the funny muggle gentleman and his passanger, whom the boys in their frolicking had not seen, would come to visit them. Would come and change things. The sunlight was waning in the summer twilight as the boys made their way back to the little wizard town out in the plains of Northern Mexico. The country was in the midst of a revolution, (T: what another one? O: Hey, we like our Revolutions...people are planning one now, even.) and elsewhere Europe was in turmoil, but in the small peaceful place it seemed that nothing could touch the tranquility of Tocantins. They walked through the long tall grass towards the little Pueblo where already the people where gathering at the square as they did every night. |
ottery how many ffcs do you have? ohh and the quote is from "Sunset boulivard (SP)" |

Aaaaaahhhh Ottery! The Autobiography we've all been waiting for!! *anticipates* And it's Unauthorized too. (Not even going to consider how that could be possible :lol:) So does that mean we get all the dirt? The rise to the top? The greed? The corruption? If so - cool beans!! :yes: |
EEE!!! The autobiography of the year has finally arrived!!!! *squeals* This is going to ROCK!!!! *moves in with the minions* |
Ottery!!!:lol: So loving this! Is this going to be like be like that show, Behind the Music, only it'll be "Behind the Prince" or something... I'm so looking forward to this, keep it coming, keep it coming! :lol: |
To my one and only Ronboy with luvs and no Barney...sorry Ottery: It's called sleight of hand Teddy, love. Teddy: You're coming to be a master at misdirection. Ottery: You know what I say...any direction is better than not going anywhere. :evillaugh ------------------------------------------------------ The town square was every night the heart of the town. During celebrations, the Mariachi would play in the gazebo, on Sunday's you could hear Don Oberon's Orchestra, not that he was in it, but as the richest member of the community, and the mayor and owner of most of the business (T: So pretty much the sole reason the town existed is what you're saying? O: Yup), he had hired them to play symphonies so that the townspeople could appreciate the Muggle culture. Late at night, when most of the town was asleep, that was the place where the lovers would rendezvous. It was the heart of Tocantins. So the boys walked past the fountain, waving and saying hello to the townspeople they recognized sitting outside on the benches all around the square enjoying the evening breeze, and light conversation. Ottery turned back and ran up to the fountain for his nightly ritual. "Hay no, again? You're gonna go broke if you keep throwing your knuts in the fountain," the blonde haired boy said. Ottery for his part fished in his pockets, through wads of string, gum, wire, muggle pennies, and other things. Finding a knut he put his hands together, closed his eyes, made the same wish he made every time he passed the fountain with a knut in his pocket. He flipped the penny in and smiled up at the statue of the angels. There were two of them dressed in flowing robes, flying apart. They symbolized love and joy. "Andale pues, I'm hungry," Ottery said, clapping the boy on the back and starting to run for home when a familiar sound stopped him. Ruben stopped next to him and rolled his eyes. Again! He had hopped that they could just go home once. Straight home without having to stop. It was not as bad as the fountain, but if Ottery was in one of his melancholy moods they could be out there all night. Alex was sitting on the steps of the gazebo in the center of the square his guitar playing softly in the dark, in that instant before all the gaslights magically came on. They were enchanted to do so only when the suns light was completely gone from the earth and they were bathed in darkness. * Ottery: Hello Angels. Back for more are ya? Well this one's a lot less serious :lol: *lying* :lol: Teddy: Yeah, post a review and we'll fire our canons at you. Ottery: *covering Teddy's mouth* Don't mind him, he's a brat. But yeah, no reviews...just sit back and enjoy...oh, and all respects to all those fic authors out there who don't write their stuff on word and just write it as they post. This is seriously hard stuff. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. :bow: Oh, and Ronboy *glomps Ronboy* You're my one and only...promise, and NO Barney will not be in this fic. :lol: Unless you ask me too. |
What about magic muffins?:):lol: |
This is too cute! Of course we came back Ottery! Why wouldn't we!? WE LOVE YOU!!! *huggles you along with the minions* |

pretty good story if u ask me! |
OMG Otts!!!! You never told me you were doing an autobiography! *drags in air mattress, pillow, mini pillow, blankey, and Mrs. Pinky, the bestest bear ever (sorry Teddy)* I'm gonna camp out to this thing. :sleepy: Oh yes, thank you for posting at my fic, and the office is beautiful, thanks! :lol: Aaaaawww, PLEASE can you add Barney to your fic? It's either Barney or the Wiggles, so take your pick, LoL. Luv ya, Otts, be back later! peppy :upside: |
Ottery is...givin' ya all some more...oh and a poll too...Mwahahahahaha Alex was twenty something, dark haired, blue eyed, faired skin, Spanish, the most wonderful singer in the world or so all the girls in Tocantins, who were of marrying age, and never too far from him when he sat on the steps of the gazebo at nights to play his guitar, as he was doing just then, thought. He was lost in his music, and Ruben turned to look at his friend, and just like that there it was. Ottery's eyes got that glazed look and he was gone wherever the song took him. It was a sad, mournful song about lost loves that you can never forget and Alejandro was singing it with all the passion in the world it seemed. Ruben sighed. As if Ottery was old enough to know anything about that. Love, much less losing it and never being able to forget her. But it was melancholy, and that was Ottery sometimes. So Ruben followed Ottery to the steps of the gazebo where Alex was lost in his song in the moonlight. Ottery stood there watching the singer, it seemed almost as if he would cry, and Ruben was debating wether he should nudge him back into reality, but that boy could lose himself in dreams and fantasies. Still you couldn't blame him when you knew what he had waiting at home. In that respect at least Ruben was lucky, and he knew it. But it didn't keep him from being a spoiled brat. But what did it matter anyways? So long as they let him get away with it he would, he smiled to think on that. As the song ended, the gaslights came on all at once by magic, Alex noticed Ottery and gave him a surprised smile. He had not noticed him there so lost in his song. A tear rolled down Ottery's cheek, and he wiped it away pretending to wipe his nose as he sat next to the singer. He didn't want him seeing him crying, he'd think he was being a girl. (T: Oh, you're audience is going to love that. O: Boys can't be girls Teddy =P so don't hate). "What are you doing out so late Otts? Your aunt's looking for you and she..." Alex started. "Didn't look happy. So what else is new? Hate that evil..." Alejandro cleared his throat and signaled to the girls behind them. Gossip got around town very fast, and Ottery and his pranks did not make him a popular person, especially with the girls of marrying age. But it was a mutual dislike. "Yeah, yeah, I know," Ottery replied sighing. "Pues, before I go, play me a song." "I just did," Alex said ruffling the boy's hair. He always thought of Ottery as a little brother, but to Ottery he was more than that. "Don't be mean. C'mon, before she finds me," Ottery pleaded, making his eyes as big as he could and giving that pitiful look that worked to get him out of so many scrapes with so many people. "Esta bien." Very well. Alejandro took up his guitar and stood up playing a lively tune, singing very quickly, a happy little song about music and singing and love, and Ottery smiled at the song. Think about it before you fall in love, the lyrics went, think it over well because I don't want to play with love. "Otts. Trouble." Ruben said, as the dark haired boy smiled. Ottery groaned when he noticed who was coming from across the square and in no happy mood. But she hadn't seen him yet. So he stuck out his tongue at her, and looked at Alex with a look of deep regret, to which the other boy winked, and Ottery grabbed Ruben by the arm (T: Because wherever little Ottery went Ruben was sure to go, O: Best mates! *winks*) and dragged him home by the back way. Ottery looked back and he could see all the girls rounding in on Alex, which made him none to happy the shameless flirts. Didn't they think there were other guys in Tocantins? Jealousy was a funny thing. |
Ottery is...staying up late and he's going to regret it in the morning...LOL *In the offices of the WB* Teddy: Ottery our ratings are going down the *word used on HBO but not allowed on SS* Ottery: I really need to keep you away from the cable. Teddy: The advertising isn't working... Ottery: Oh, gawd no. Please Teddy...anything but that...please. Teddy: Yup...sorry Otts...I'm calling in the big guns...we're going to have to do a crossover. Ottery: *crying* Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Ottery Poll: Q: If Ottery's Autobiography were a crossover...who would you want it to crossover with? 1) ScoobyDoo & the Gang 2) Harry Potter (T: Ottery this is a HP fic O: Yeah, but I'd love two Ron *giggling girlishly* T: The fans are really going to love you. ) 3) A Series of Unfortunate Events 4) O: I'm only doing this because I love you Ronboy *groans* Barney 5) Friends (T: I'd say Sex in the City myself) 6) Peter Pan 7) Write in____________________ 8) G.I. Joe 9) The Care Bears 10) Oliver Twist 11) Anything by E.A.Poe 12) Alice in Wonderland 13) DNAngel 14) Robotech O: *snickering* Oh, that'd be rich... 15) Digimon 16) NGE (which consequently requires I move this fic to 15+ and I start carding you all) 17) CCS 18) All of the above 19) All of the above and keep it canon...LOL 20) Crossover fics are the bane of my existance... 21)Gundam 22) The Secret of Blue Water 23) School HOuse ROck WTF??? 24) Hel lboy 25) Lagoon Engine 26) Your Momma!

For Si, *snickering* likely the only person who's reading this story *A grumpy Ottery makes a speech* As Teddy has so kindly just reminded me this is a fic...*sighs* I guess we have to update. T: For Si at least she's the only reading this thing. O: Which is why I love her so. *tackle glomps Si* You really are too sweet to me Si. *wipes tear* O: So...here's more...oh, and from now on updates will be in b&w T: Yeah, the shenanigans will stay in color though. ---------------------------------------------- "You want me to go where?" Ottery exclaimed. "To Britain, there's a school of magic over there where I teach." "Why?" Ottery asked incredulously. "Because, your Mother went there and she made plans to have you attend, Mr. St. Catchpole," the dark haired professor exclaimed. The khakhi dressed, portly muggle whom Ottery and Ruben had seen driving the funny contraption parked outside on the street was eyeing the stove rather curiously as he noticed a wooden spoon turning itself. Ottery had walked in to find the two gentlemen waiting for him in the small table in the kitchen, drinking their tea placidly, likely his aunt was still out looking for him. He had run in laughing after having dropped off Ruben across the street at his house and he had meant to run upstairs and jump in the shower before his aunt got home so he had his shirt untucked and half buttoned, but on seeing that there was company he quickly remembered his manners. He had sat with them, as was polite, and had come to learn their names. The Muggle was a Mr. Henry Ford, and the wizard dressed in the dark three piece suit under the purple cloak covered in stars and moons was Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. "It's nice that my mother wanted me to go...but I don't...I live here." He said reasonably. He was trying very hard to behave like an adult as he was in the company of them. "It would have made her very happy to know that..." "You knew my mother?" Ottery asked. "She was one of Hogwarts finest pupils." Ottery got a funny look on his face to think of that. He was the worst pupil in his class, well it was a tie between he and Ruben, they were constantly pranking and switching places with each other for having the lowest marks in class. He wanted to ask him so many things about her, but just then...he couldn't. The door burst open and Ottery knew he was in for a beating as he had made his aunt run around the little town in search of him. He prayed that perhaps because they had company she would be less inclined, but the slamming door behind him at which he cringed, put all doubt of that out of his mind. -------------------------------------------------- T: Geez, Ottery, you're a magnet for trouble aren't you? O: *shrugs* |

Delving further into the past...did I tell you all about the time I saved the world?? Quote:
------------------------------------------- Ottery lay in the tub resting his head on his hands as he floated on the water. "Thank God for company," he thought. He had just escaped a beating at his vicious aunt's hands. Still, he would likely pay for it tomorrow with cold breakfast, a rap on the head, with her knuckles or the wooden spoon, or some mean or cutting remark. He sighed, as he floated on the warm water. It was the only escape he had...Aunt Ivy had a knack for barging into his room unnanounced, always trying to catch him in the middle of something heinous no doubt. "What? Does she think I'm hiding someone under my bed? Or I robbed a bank and stashed the money somewhere?" She always eyed him funnily. He sighed again. The gentlemen would be staying in town in Dona Mercedes' Casa de Huespedes. Wulfric, as the younger man had asked Ottery to call him, was interested in talking. About anything really, he seemed like such a warm and caring person to the boy, if a bit too naive, and trusting. The Muggle had just eyed everything curiously. He was the one who interested Ottery more though. Namely because he wanted to ask him for a go in his car. There was a knock on the window, Ottery said, "Come in," and Ruben was there at the window. Ottery had been expecting him. But first he'd had to have dinner, whenever Ruben's mother finally got her son in the house she did everything she could to keep him in. But, short of locking his rooms window, or chopping the tree that grew next to it, there wasn't keeping Ruben locked up any more than Ottery not when they didn't want to be. "So what's with the car?" Ruben asked, and suddenly Ottery didn't know what to say. To his best friend of forever. It was just then that the prospect of going away finally hit him with some reality. All summer long Ruben and he had been waiting for their owls from La Academia De Magias y Hechizos in Mexico City...it was the nearest magical school, unless you wanted to go to the states and neither of them wanted that. But Dumbledore hadn't said anything about Ruben being invited. Ottery thought it best perhaps to keep quiet about that, at least for now, while he thought about it. "Oye Ruben. Let's go see David tomorrow?" He asked, sinking half his face in the water to make bubbles. "All right. You want to take the horseless carriage?" He asked, a wicked smile on his face. "It's the only way to travel." Ottery replied laughing back at him. ----------------------------------------------------- O: *wiping a tear from his eyes* I'm really liking my autobiography Teddy. T: All those old memories... O: :yes: :cry: You remember that Christmas... T: Uh, uh, uh...we haven't gotten there yet. O: *sniffles* Right...right... |

Or should I wait :glomp: *Ottery tackle glomps Ronboy* I love Shannon...like Harry loves Hermione *sighs* now you Ronboy...that's more like Harry loves Ginny ;) . I joined your Rp didn't I? Thank you Allucha...feel free to spam or start a new discussion, or if you've got an idea... :yes: I'm always open to suggestions...except to quit this fic. :lol: |

*votes for all the above because I can and I'm on the most wanted list twice* TOO CUTE OTTERY! Seriously, you rock LYK WHOA. *loves on you and everyone else* |
i vote for all of the above a bajillion times, just to annoy ya :P |
Now, now, Ottery, I read your fic too!! Not ONLY Si reads it!!!!! Does Ruben go with you? Or not? peppy :upside: |
Oh My God. A cliffie! LOL. A story cliffie...not an election cliffie... *tackle glomps Ronboy and gives him a peck on the cheek cuz he's so cheeky* What's with all the raspberries? You want me out of commission? LOL. Why don't you take all those Raspberries and make me a pie? *glomps Si, Allucha, & Peppy, and gives Ronboy another peck so he won't get jealous* All of the above is really starting to sound interesting... ;) but 'goes to show you never can tell...' :flower: ----------------------------------------------- It was early morning, and there was a cloud of dust from whence a flock of chickens were flying, scrambling to get out of the way of what was causing the dust storm. "Ottery! You sure you know...what you're doing?" Ruben asked a big smile across his face, his blonde hair whipping across his face. "Of course I don't...but you gotta learn sometimes, no?" Ottery was at it again. He had borrowed his aunts wand, and Mr. Ford's car, and a few experimental spells later he had managed to get the thing flying, driving and running forward all at the same time. As opposed to going in reverse, rolling over, and honking incessantly which scared the cows and woke up half the neighborhood. The boys had just managed to escape when Ottery's mean aunt came running out of the house brandishing a roller in her hand. He knew he was in trouble. Borrowing his aunts wand without permission, borrowing Mr. Ford's car without permission, and (T: Well honestly Ottery, just being plain Ottery. O: Tell me about it. <_< I was there remember?) simply because she disliked the boy, it seemed. Discipline, that's what he needed, not love, but a strict voice, and a strong hand, both of which she implemented with equal severity and applied as often as necessary, which was, to her way of thinking, not often enough! The dark haired boy smiled, chewing gum, his hazel eyes covered under the goggles he had found to keep the dust out of his eyes. Ruben was laughing with him, those chickens were dropping eggs as they were flying in a mad panic, it really was too early in the morning to be driving as fast as they were. Muggle cars of the time could not do more than 35 miles at most, but with help from a little bit of magic and the fact that it kept trying to fly off the ground, Ottery had gotten the old jalopy going 99 miles per hour. They were going out to see David and his father Jesse the old hermit, who lived as far away from Tocantins and people as he could get...much to his youngest son's chagrin. Every chance he could Ottery and Ruben would go out to see him, or kidnap him and bring him into town until trouble had him going back home. The dark haired boy wanted to see him...to talk to him too, as they were best mates as well. Going to Hogwarts or not was going to be a difficult decision to make, and he wanted time to think it over outside of his aunt's influence. She wanted rid of him there was no question of that... "Ottery, the Cow!!!" Ruben yelled, waking his friend from his reverie. "Santa vaca!" he yelled swerving the car. "The bull, Otts, the bull!" Ruben screamed again tugging on his friend's arm as Ottery, in changing directions to miss the cow, was about to plow straight into the bull. ---------------------------------------------------- T: Ottery the cow! :rotfl: O: I know...I know... |

But first...next question..."If Ottery could be King for a day...Mwahahahahaha what would be his first decree? |
Debating if I should post more...hmm...for Princess Thea on her Birthday w00t w00t They were standing by the dusty road watching the grass of the plains sway in the wind, and the occasional tumbleweed, as Ottery took off his cap to wipe his brow. Ruben for his part was sitting on the sideboard of the car looking at the ground, taking what little shade there was. "It's not so bad Guero, I'll get us out of this," Ottery said, in the distance could be heard the sound of a saxophone playing. "See? I didn't even have to try that hard." Ottery said smugly. "You're just lucky we broke down close to Jesse's place." Ruben said swatting Ottery on the arm as he got off the sideboard, just the same he was smiling. Sometimes Ottery had the best luck. There came a sound of the grass rustling and Ottery turned to look. If it was that bull again...he hadn't meant to hit it...and how was he to know it was a bullfighting bull or that he would get angry and chase the car all the way until they ran out of gas. The dark haired boy turned, a panicked look on his face ready to shield his friend from danger (T: It's not like it was heroic Otts, it was all your fault Ruben was in trouble you know... O: Gee rub it in why don't you), when he noticed it was a brown wolf. Ottery smiled wildly, and let out a whoop. "David!" He yelled as the wolf knocked him down and started to lick his face. "Down boy, down!" Ottery was saying laughing. "Down is right. Hey!" Ruben was yelling. He crossed his arms angrily. A brown haired boy was licking Ottery's face. "You really need to work on your metamorphmagus skills David. It's only okay for a dog to be licking a boy's face, otherwise people'll think you're weird." Ruben said testily. Ottery opened his eyes to find his friend David blushing a dark red under his brown skin. Ottery smiled anyways, and laughed and ruffled the boy's hair. "We are weird Guero," Ottery said as David helped him up off the dusty ground. "I can't help it. I can't control my transformations...when I get excited..." David said still blushing. "Well, as long as you don't..." Ottery broke out laughing just then and Ruben, who had had his arms crossed, pouting and was staring out into the distance turned to find his friend rolling on the floor laughing next to a bull. "What?" David asked. Ruben couldn't help smiling. He really was just learning how to use his skills and you couldn't blame him for being happy, they hadn't seen each other in weeks. |
Thank you all for the Birthday Wishes! It made my birthday much better!! Cause most of my friends Forgot!! :( Love you all.. Hmm your First Decree?? Uhh Something to do with Ron??? hehe Princess Thea |

LOL O) All of the above. |
Here's some more...but that's not all... The boys were walking towards the little hill across the dusty road. They never bothered looking in either direction being that they were in the middle of the plains and you could pretty much see anything coming towards you from any direction. David was being especially quiet, having turned back into a boy, he was so happy to see his friends but he didn't want to turn into something bizzare or they might reconsider taking him with them back to the city. That had to be why they were there... Jesse, David's father was an old man of 80 years, most of which he had spent tending sheep, he was sitting in the shade of the tree by a fire that never burned out listening to the sound of music coming from a box. It was lovely music transmitted magically over the whole world from Wizarding music stations. An old song was playing, a happy, lively tune. He had his back to the boys as they walked up the hill, but Ottery could smell the smoke coming from his pipe, and even if he had not, he would have known that was what Jesse was doing. He was never without his long smoking pipe. "So, how've the sheep been treating you?" Ottery asked stupidly. "Don't be such an idiot Otts," Ruben said. He was being a bit testy with his friends because he suspected something and he was growing impatient having to wait to find out exactly what. "It's dull. Like always...just swiming at the river, when I'm not practicing being a wolf." "You should try a little harder," Ruben muttered softly. "Hey, we should all go swimming at the river before we go back." Ottery said as the old man came into sight. "Brilliant idea. Mind if we come along?" Ruben looked up from staring at the path he was walking. David squinted as the sunlight glinted off the gentleman's glasses, and Ottery smiled guiltily. Sitting there, his back still to them was Jesse in his old nomadic robes, smoking his pipe (you could tell from the rising smoke), and sitting across from him on soft silk cushions they had likely apparated, legs crossed, were Henry Ford and the dark haired professor from Hogwarts. |
Okay, here's some more...sighing...I think I'll go with the 50 years later... The boys joined the older men sitting down by the eternal fireside, except Ruben who chose instead to sit on a boulder behind them. He could not help feeling like perhaps this had nothing to do with him. As if he were just a passanger on someone else's trip. They had come to see Ottery not to see him. Ottery nodded to Jesse, who sighed. Jesse was not particularly fond of the boy, or his influence on his son, David. The only thing the old shepherd thought should occupy his son's mind was tending the sheep, anything else was dangerous. It had been in their family it had been a tradition...it was what the boy was destined to do. Dreaming of other things and distant places was like planting a seed of discontent. But David loved him, and Jesse loved his youngest son. He was the only one left to him, the others having gone their ways, either as shepherds themselves or something else. They did not keep in touch with him, but such was the way of the world. "So? How did you boys like the car?" Mr. Ford, the plump little gentleman asked. "Yeah, about that Mr. Ford. It's not stolen, I meant to give it back...honest. It's just... we ran into this bull..." "Sounds like what's happening to me." Mr. Ford said. "Anyways," Ottery replied a little annoyed even as Ruben snickered and David tried to hide his smirk staring into the fire. "So we ran into this bull and it chased us and next thing you know, your contraption isn't working anymore." "Most likely, you've run out of petrol." The professor replied, pushing his glasses back further on his face. It was too surreal, they were dressed in fine suits, sitting on large, fluffy cushions with tassels no less, on a hill, behind them a large expanse of plain on which the sheep were grazing. The two gentlemen were out of place in the scene. Everyone else fit, but not they two. Ottery was not too happy either that they had tracked him down. "Have you made your decision yet, Ottery?" The professor asked. "No." He replied grumpily. "What decision?" David asked turning to his friend. He turned to look at his father as he felt the old man's withered and weathered hand rest lightly on his wrist. It was his way of telling him that it was not their concern. "It's imperative that you tell me soon. There are interesting things going on abroad as you well know..." "Actually I don't. I don't care what's going on outside of Tocantins." Ottery answered truthfully. He was a little upset. He wanted to talk to his friends about it, he wanted to have time to think it over, he wanted to make up his own mind in his own time and they were pushing him. He hated being pushed into making a decision. "I have other students to pick up." Dumbledore said impassively. To Ottery though it seemed that the old man was trying to tell him just how unimportant he was. He was just one of many other students. There wasn't anything special to him. "So why don't you? Come back in a month and I'll tell you then." Ottery said. Jesse smoked his pipe quietly, while Henry got up and started looking over the plains. Ruben pointed him in the direction of the car and the man was off, he was just the driver, a friend of Wulfric's but the situation did not concern him one way or the other...just his car. It was one of a kind...though he wanted to remedy that soon. "I'd rather not. I have somethings...I have to tend to. I may not make it back." "Students? Picking up? What's going on Ottery?" David asked curiously. Ottery sighed. "Yeah, what's the matter, Otts. That's why we came out here isn't it? To talk." He explained everything to them then. "And you still haven't made up your mind? No surprise there," Ruben said answering his own question. Ottery got up suddenly. "I want to talk to my friends first." He said defiantly. "By all means, Mr. St. Catchpole. Tell us when you're ready and we'll give you a ride back to town. I don't imagine you've brought brooms along or horses, and it is a very long trip back." Ottery started walking off down the other side of the hill, towards the sheep. Ruben looked at David, and they both nodded, but David turned to look at his father. Jesse sighed. He did not like Ottery but he was his son's friend, and he would not let his son fail his friend in a moment of need. It was not what he had been taught, and it was not what he meant to teach his sons. He gave his silent permission and the brown haired boy stood up and he and the blonde haired boy went running after Ottery. |

Ottery, I love steak as much as the next person - maybe more - I just prefer it dies before I meet up with it. Sheesh, talk about your moving violations. In deference to Lissy, I vote All of the above (good luck with that):lmao: I'm with Allucha, I thought the sheep comment was pretty funny. *patiently awaits the next installment* |
Until the ends of the earth... Thanks Allucha & Kel...you two rule. Here's some more...not a lot but...somethins...somethin' hope you like. --------------------------------------------------- Ottery didn't know what to do. It wasn't as if his aunt had ever asked him to make up his mind about anything...she was in control and there was no question of that. He had never been expected to decide anything and suddenly his fate was in his hands. He had no one to look up to, no one he could ask...all of the adults in Ottery's life were more interested in telling him what he was doing wrong or how he should be doing things that there really wasn't anyone he could turn to and ask for advice. Which is why he had wanted his friends' help. The three boys walked quietly by the river, the sheep grazing behind them, and further still the hill where Professor Wulfric Dumbledore awaited his reply, from the looks of it, impatiently, as he was standing over Jesse by the tree behind the eternal fire. Ottery wasn't so sure he liked the Professor or not, he seemed a kind man, but he was impatient. He had only heard about it last night, did he really think the boy could make up his mind so quickly? Ruben bent down to pick up a stone, while David kept glancing back, he knew there were being watched and he would turn to look at Ottery's face which was all screwed up in thought. "So what are you going to do?" David asked finally. "I don't know. I don't want to leave you guys...but..." "You can't get far enough away from the old bat your aunt." Ruben said breaking out laughing as he threw the stone into the little river. Ottery smiled, as David kind of debated whether he should smile or scold Ruben for that. You were supposed to respect your elders...even if they were big evil meanies. "I'll miss you if you go Otts." David said looking off into the distance. Ottery looked at the boy. He loved that about him, David was so much more open with his feelings than boys ever were supposed to be. It was a kind of braveness he admired, and even envied, but he had never felt occasion to be so bold. The times he told people what he felt, had usually landed him in trouble. But that was speaking his mind really more than anything else. "So don't go." Ruben murmured, bending down to pick up another rock, so he wouldn't have to face his friend. It was so softly said it almost escaped his hearing. Almost. "But I want to go. It sounds interesting and exciting." "So go then!" Ruben said this time loud enough that there could be no question as to what he had spoken. His face seemed a mixture of anger confusion, and betrayal. "But I want you two to go with me." Ottery said. "Yeah, well, that's just stupid." Ruben said. "You know it isn't going to happen, they didn't invite us, they asked you. Get your head out of the clouds for a second Otts, this isn't some stupid fantasy dream we all get to play along with you, where everyone lives and we all live happily ever after." "I like fairy tales..." Ottery whispered, a little taken aback at his friends rage. "I thought you did too." David was holding back tears, "Shut up Guero. Just shut up! If Otts wants us to go...we should go...to the ends of the earth, remember? To the ends of the earth." The boy shot back at him. "They didn't ask us you..." he did not finish what he was saying, but rather started snickering. "What?" David asked. Ottery turned around to see. David had turned into a gorilla, and he was crying. Ottery laughed too, and hugged his friend. No matter how silly he looked, the tears for his leaving were real. Because there was no question in Ottery's mind that he would be leaving. Not anymore. "What?" David asked again, scratching his head. |
Hi Otty-poo!:glomp: |
ooo, interesting post |
Cooking dinner...will be back to post laters...sorry for the half post... *sees Ronboy* Ronboy! *tackle glomps him* You're too cute. Thanks Allucha, but you haven't seen nothing yet. Okay, so I was getting out of the shower right, I swear I always get epiphanies in the bathroom. T: Too many raspberries huh? O: Epiphanies...you twit. T: Less fiber Otts. *Ottery smacks Teddy* Anyways, so I got this shinning revelation about the plot of the story. I know where we're going now. Mwahahahahahaha, because I didn't before. But now I do. It's nowhere you've ever been. Hope you all stick around. ----------------------------------------------------------- "Impossible." Professor Dumbledore said, burying his hands in his coat pockets. "I really don't have the time to be trying to convice your friends parents that they should let me take their children half way around the world...well really it's only a quarter, half way would be China...but the point is..." "Simple. You want me, you get my friends. You don't want me. You don't have to take any of us." Ottery said stubbornly. "It's not a matter of what I want Ottery, it's a matter of what's best." "What's best is me being with my family." "What's your aunt have to do with any of this?" Dumbledore asked. "Exactly. We're talking about my family, and that's David, and that's Ruben." |
Si votes for all of the above because she's already in trouble with the feds. *runs away with the money* |
:yes:IMO, Showers are the best place to think. Since you finally have a plot direction, does this mean the votes no longer count? Kinda like "Whose Line Is It Anyway":) Too bad, cuz I was kinda interested to see how you were gonna work everything in:lmao:Love Interests, Care Bears, Beards, Tornadoes, Teddy~the whole bit! Wait, wait, I got it, Teddys love interest in 50 years is a Care Bear with a beard! Still working on the tornado bit... *crossing my fingers and hoping the three amigos end up at school together* Kel |
Stay tuned for the stunning conclusion of our last post... *tackle glomps Si* The only one from the original cast still here ;) ...and I love you for it. It's not quantity...it's quality, I always say. :glomp: Kel, I take everyone's suggestions into consideration...and I never said the Care Bears wouldn't show up...or that I wouldn't have tornadoes... :evillaugh This story is going to be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys... :monkey: :eek: |
Eggs for Ottery!:glomp: |
It's not the end kiddies...it's only the beginning. Next up 1945 Mwahahahahaha *glomps Ronboy* You're the only one who cooks for me. :glomp: -------------------------------------------------------- "Impossible." Professor Dumbledore said, burying his hands in his Muggle coat pockets. "I really don't have the time to be trying to convice your friends' parents that they should let me take their children half way around the world...well really it's only a quarter, half way would be China...but the point is..." "Simple. You want me, you get my friends. You don't want me. You don't have to take any of us." Ottery said stubbornly, standing there his face as serious as he could make it, and let me tell you it was difficult what with spending most of his time pranking or laughing, arms crossed as he stared down the older man. "It's not a matter of what I want Ottery, it's a matter of what's best," Professor Wulfric Dumbledore replied, trying to reason with the boy. He sighed, and leaned on the tree. He knew that the boy meant to argue with him but he was obstinate about making Ottery see the reasoning behind his words. "What's best is me being with my family," Ottery replied, stubbornly. "What's your aunt have to do with any of this?" Dumbledore asked, taken aback. From what he had seen, the woman's anger was barely restrained whenever she saw Ottery, and that was likely just a pretense she put up because of himself and Henry Ford. Likely when there was no company present she gave the boy an earful of anger, and a few swattings too, she looked the type, even if Wulfric did not like to judge people on looks alone. "Exactly. We're talking about my family, and that's David, and Ruben. I'm not going without them." Wulfric sighed. "What if I told you then, that you couldn't go. You would miss your chance to return to your birthplace, to Ottery St. Catchpole, you would miss your chance to see your parents' home, their resting place." Wulfric well knew what he was doing. He was playing the boy's sentiments against his loyalties. It was manipulative, but he could not go back without him. He feared what would happen if he fell into the hands of the Ministry of Magic, many different factions in the Wizarding world were interested in the boy's fate. But the boy could not be made aware of that. He was too young, and the responsability of that knowledge too great. "It's all or nothin'." Ottery said walking off. Ruben looked at the Professor and shrugged even as he smiled. He didn't really feel any pity for the older man, he kind of relished the idea of traveling to another continent...especially with the war going on in Europe. It all seemed like a grand adventure. He walked off after Ottery. David knelt down across the fire from his father, and looked into the flames. "Father...I want to go." Jesse threw dust on the fire and the flames died out. "I was afraid the day would come." He said as he looked at his son, who could not face his father. He lifted the boy's chin until he looked him in the eyes, and he could see the tears threatening to spill out. When David looked at his father he saw his eyes crying too. ---------------------------------------------------------- The boys stood side by side, dressed in brand new Muggle suits, as Professor Wulfric Dumbledore bid his Muggle friend goodbye. They were standing next to their trunks, packed almost fit to burst...just in case, Dumbledore had conjured up magical belts around them to keep them tightly sealed, with the boy's possessions, and not a few things that would now a days be considered contraband. "So, I guess this is the end." Ottery said sadly. "No, it's the beginning," Ruben corrected. "I still can't believe your Mom let you go, Guero." Ottery said. David for the most part stood there quietly, by his friends on the trainstation platform. He knew his father would not see him off, he had his sheep to tend to, but he had given the boy his blessing and that was that. Suddenly he felt an arm clap his back and he turned to see Ottery's smiling face, on the other side Ruben clapped his arms around him too and smiled as well. "It's just us three now," Ruben said seriously. "Against the world." Ottery remarked, as if happy with the prospect. "Until the ends of the earth..." David said, smiling as he started crying. -------------------------------------------------- When they were on the train they took a compartment to themselves. Dumbledore sat there his legs crossed staring at the hall as if expecting trouble, and regretting the more than handful that he had sitting next to him, but the boy was too valuable an asset, a necessary piece in the grand game yet to be played. He did not know...as there was no way he could see the future...just how important the other boy's would be too in the grand game. Ottery and Ruben were arguing who would play white in Wizard's chess, and David looked out the window as the train began to move. Over the hill he suddenly saw a large group of sheep, and behind them, leading them along was his father. He got up and waved, waved wildly, and opening the window he screamed out to him. His father waved goodbye to his son, whom he would never see again. |
