OtterySt.Catchpole 10-23-2005 11:06 AM

*Ottery forgets to rightclick and copy and loses the whole post* Noooooooooooooooooo!
 
:cry: :cry: You all are so sweet to understand...so for you all...a post...if it kills me even. Lissy, you get to take over the story if I die... :flowers:

~

"We could just go down there and stun a few people." Ottery remarked. The boys were lying on their backs on the sand watching the empty sky, hidden in shadow by the dune and the afternoon sun.

"There are hundreds of people down there Ottery, working on the dig site. How exactly are we supposed to stun them all?" Ruben asked, sighing.

"They're muggles, shoot a few and the others'll just star running like mad when they think we've killed them," Ottery replied as he turned over to look at his irritated friend.

"As much as I love your plan Otts," Ruben answered, still looking at the clear blue sky, trying to keep his patience, "despite the fact that its illegal, difficult, completely throws out the idea of discretion, and the fact that it probably wouldn't work and would get us all killed. No."

"You used to be fun you know," Ottery remarked in a whisper as he lay back down on the sands.

"Yeah, well some of us grow up. Okay?" Ruben remarked angrily, standing up and walking back towards their guide, and the truck. "We'll wait until nightfall and then we go in to get it." He said not bothering to look back at them.

"Why's he mad at me?" Ottery asked David who was lying next to him.

"He's got responsabilities Ottery. He's the leader, and that means if anything goes wrong it's his fault."

"No it doesn't. If I mess up it's my fault."

David looked at Ottery and smiled, but said nothing, in that soft way of his that meant he didn't want to fight, which only served to make the dark haired boy angrier.

"I'm going for a walk." He said getting to his feet, and rushing off angrily.

~

"Wulfric wants a scarab, I'll get him a bloody scarab," Ottery remarked as he walked into the pyramid. Dressed in robes, he looked like everyone else and he blended in with the crowd of workers walking into the cave.

They were plundering the place. It was an archeological site, and meticulous care was being taken to handle the objects and the treasures they had found but it changed nothing that the scientists were foreigners and that they were taking the relics with them out of Egypt. Still Ottery could hardly judge, he was going to steal an artifact from the muggles doing the stealing. For their own safety, Professor Dumbledore explained. A scarab that held magical properties and was too dangerous to be left lying around. If another conflict erupted like the one before, with all the European nations becoming involved...it was best not to let such things fall into the wrong hands. But that was Wulf's problem, always worrying about the future and tomorrow without any concern for the present. He was planning for a war that might not come.

"You'd think someone had appointed him guardian of the universe or something," Ottery was muttering as he walked down a darkened passage. The sand was really getting annoying. He could feel it inside his shoes, and all over his body, a constant nuisance. As if the heat wasn't murder enough.

He walked by the light of his wand, it was a good half hour, by his pocket watch, before he realized that he didn't know where he was going. Ruben had the map, and all Ottery could remember about it was that it had funny pictures on it like a comic strip. He cursed. Then he cursed loudly. Then he proceeded to mutter gibberish and tried to kick the wall, because kicking up sand would only mean getting more sand in his shoes. As he did he fell back, putting his hand out to stop from falling he touched the figure of an angry pharoah, and suddenly a side of the wall had swung open. It was a hidden passageway.

"It can't be that easy," he said laughing. He chalked it up to his good luck and walked into the darkened chamber. It was then his wand light reflected back from a thousand golden objects. He was in the treasury.

"Lost something have you?" Came a soft sweet voice. He turned around suddenly and his wand light fell on the figure of a young girl of maybe twelve. She had long smooth brown hair that cascaded down her back, and she was wearing an impish grin.

"Who are you?" Ottery asked.

"What's wrong Pixie?" Another voice called out, and as he waved his wand the light fell on the figure of a red haired boy older than the girl, who had been filling up bags with the golden objects in the room.

"You're tomb robbers!" Ottery exclaimed.

"No, they're the thieves," she remarked, meaning the scientists, "we're tomb raiders." Ottery held back a laugh. However you worded it, they meant the same thing.

"More like opportunists."

"And I'm sure you're just here for the scenery?" She remarked angrily, putting her hands on her hips.

"Kids shouldn't be in here," Ottery replied condescendingly.

The girl snorted and stuck her tongue out.

"Oh, that's mature," the redhaired boy told the young girl, when he suddenly noticed Ottery making a sour face as reply. "Okay...I take that back."

"You two shouldn't be here, so why don't you scram before you get caught," Ottery said, putting his hands on his hips unaware that he was mimicking the girl's gesture.

"In fact, none of you should be here," a voice called out from behind Ottery. He recognized it. He turned around suddenly. It was Wolfram, and he had a smug expression on his face. But then again who wouldn't surrounded by armed thugs under your pay. "But I can't say I'm not glad you are." He was talking to Ottery when he said that. "It must mean your friend can't be too far away."

So Ottery's autobiography may become a biography with me as the author? NooOOooOOoOooOoo! :gasp: *thinks on it some more* Meh heh heh :shifty: Maybe that could be fun... Joking! :lol: :worried: :shifty:

I loved this post and I am quite glad you survived to write more :glomp: I'm nothing compared to your creativity. The new characters, the tomb raiders, intrigue me, I hope to learn more. Ottery in this fic is so cute, just like the one in real life! :yes: *huggles and loves your cuteness*

hehe You don't mind the tpyos? Maybe I'll leave them in from now on...


Loves much,

OtterySt.Catchpole 10-24-2005 02:09 AM

For Shannon...just because I love you.
 
Okay so I'm trying to understand the concept of "The theory of relativity" or E=MC2 for you non-scifi geeks and uhm...yeah,no.

Here's a snippet:

Quote:

*Ottery taking aspirins* And that's if you don't click the links and try to go further...

Why you ask? Simple. Knowledge is power. And I'm trying to write a scifi novelette...maybe...still in the thought phase so...yeah, no notes even yet.

Okay, so uhm...yeah...Ali thank you, you're sweet. Lissy, thank you, you're sweet too. *sighs* BTW, I miss you Si...I don't know why you're on hiatus, but I miss that you're not here.

"In fact, none of you should be here," a voice called out from behind Ottery. He recognized it. He turned around suddenly. It was Wolfram, and he had a smug expression on his face. But then again who wouldn't surrounded by armed thugs under your pay. "But I can't say I'm not glad you are." He was talking to Ottery when he said that. "It must mean your friend can't be too far away."

"You leave my friends the hel out of this!" Ottery yelled, and the Slytherin boy smiled.

"So they are here," Wolfram said.

"Smooth, hero," the red haired boy said sarcastically. Ottery glared at him through razor thin eyes.

"Look, you shouldn't even be here, brat."

"Hey, don't call Mouse a brat," Pixie exclaimed.

"What would you rather I call him? Thief?"

At that the little brown haired girl flung a statuette at Ottery, who ducked in time to miss it. The object bounced off the chest of one of the thugs, who was completely unfazed. Ottery shrugged as an apology and turned back to look at the kids, was that a squirrel sneaking into that kids pocket?

"What the..." before Ottery could finish his sentence, the little girl had stuck her tongue out and taken the boy's hand and they had disappeared in a blinding flash. "What just..."

The thugs were on him in seconds, two of them holding his arms, while another searched for the boy's wand, "Whoa there cowboy, watch where you're..." he kicked the thug in the face with his knee, elbowed the one on the left, and as he turned to punch the other thug was met with a fistful of hurt which sent him crashing into a wall. "Ouch! That hurt you jerk!" Ottery complained.

"Next time, I'll just stun you then," Wolfram said annoyed. "Now who were the brats?"

"You mean they weren't your thugs too?" Ottery asked smartly, smiling up at the Slytherin. His remark was met with an equally condescending smile and a slap, hard across the face. "Ouch! Hello, pain here!"

"Don't get smart with me Gryffy, or you're going to find out just how dumb you really are."

"No thanks I already know. Wanna see? Watch!" Ottery threw a handful of sand up at the boy's eyes and jumping to his feet proceeded to punch him in the face. The boy fell to the ground and Ottery pummelled him, until one of the thugs came and kicked him in the face knocking him off and sending him flying back against the wall again.

"Seriously. Ouch. You could have broken my nose," Ottery complained as he spit out a tooth. "Thank goodness you almost broke my jaw instead, no?"

"You idiot!" The Slytherin boy exclaimed as his thugs helped him to his feet. "How dare you lay a hand on me?"

"Told you I was stupid. And my friends aren't here you dork, otherwise they'd be in the pyramid with me now wouldn't they?" Ottery could be slow to thought but that didn't mean he was foolish, just a little too impassioned sometimes.

"I'm supposed to believe you're down here on your own? I highly doubt that. You Gryffindors are too loyal. A nice predictable quality in a person. Makes it easier to track you fools down, and it's very easy to guess the kind of foolish actions you'd take for a friend."

"Then you'd know I wouldn't exactly put my friends in danger by bringing them with me, now would you? God you're thick. But Ravenclaw's are the smart one's, you Slythies are just greedy with ambition."

The Slytherin boy walked up to him and slapped him hard across the face again.

"Ouch." Ottery replied, grabbing the side of his face, "No use telling you that hurt, I suppose."

At a signal from the Slytherin the thugs took Ottery and bound his hands and dragged him out of the room. He could see the shadow of doubt crossing the Slytherin boy's face. Ottery could only hope he had bought his friends time, but it wasn't as if they were going to leave without him. He had to find a way to escape. Maybe the two brats would come back and help him. But then again the little thieves and he had hardly become fast friends.

~

"That IDIOT!" Ruben exclaimed punching the sand, as he and David lay on the dune watching down at the site. He was screaming up a storm and making a general nuisance of himself, and of course his voice carried. Not that it had mattered, when he had not come back from his supposed walk Ruben had figured that his best friend had done the only thing Ottery would think to do. Do it all by himself. But he could be a stubborn fool sometimes.

"We've got to go down there and get him." David said suddenly, determination on his face as well as his voice.

"We're going to get lost is what we're going to do." Ruben replied.

"What? You don't mean...? We're not leaving Ottery down there."

"Right now the only thing we're going to do is get rid of our Egyptian guide there, truck and all, as well as getting as far away from here as we can. They're going to come looking for us and the best thing is for them not to find anything or anyone. Then we're going to see what's going on. Ottery wouldn't let himself get caught by a couple of muggles. There's more here than we know."

"But, we can't leave him..."

"We're not leaving anyone, anywhere David. This is a strategic retreat. We're going to come back for him, but that doesn't mean we're going to be stupid about it." Ruben reasoned.

David was frowning, he didn't like the idea of Ottery alone down there. Outnumbered. There had been five men carrying him over their heads, and he was bound head to foot, squirming like a snake. It could hardly be pleasant. But Ruben had a point. If they got captured they would be little use to their friend. Ruben and he slid down slowly and started running back to the truck where their guide was sitting in the back reading a comic strip.

"This Mickey Mouse character is funny."

~

Okay, so that took everything out of me. *sighs* I'm tired, I should be studying for a test I don't really care about, and I'm generally feeling really bleah. So yeah. <_< Uhm, hope you like, I think this post was better. Needs more action, and that car chase, hitting a camel hardly constitutes if you know what I mean. *idea* Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, but I can't tell you all. :lol: It would spoil the fun.

I don't understand E=Mc2, and I don't think I ever will!! :dizzy:

I read the post real quick, be back tomorrow to read closer. Very sleepy! :sleepy: Right off, though, I remember Mouse and the squirrel! :shifty: Cool!!

You get rest dear Ottery, then study in a bit. I know the bleahs very well. Have some chocolate and relax :glomp:

I thought that Si was able to get to you, but maybe not. Our dear Angel is grounded with no computer privileges for a month. :cry: The punnishment started a little more then a week ago, I believe. One of her last wishes she expressed to me was to make sure that you know she is thinking of you and wishes she were here. She'll be back! :glomp: Si misses Ottery!!

Its like listening to BBC America. I understand the words themselves, but not the meanings when you clump them all together like that. I have a sneaking suspicion that it pertains to math is some obscure way, of which I am phobic. Please don't hurt my brain like that again.

I'm grounded. That's why I haven't been here lately. :P

OtterySt.Catchpole 10-26-2005 10:43 PM

Life is seriously getting hectic...OMG!
 
Will reply laters loves *glomps everyone*

"It looks like Wolfram just found us a volunteer." A tall dark haired man remarked from where he was sitting over the statue of a pharoah also sitting. He had his leg drapped over the side and he leaned back decadently as he ate cherries from a bowl a servant was holding standing next to him. Ottery felt pity for the poor man who was obviously tired of standing there holding the bowl.

The thug pushed him into the room and Ottery thought he'd take the opportunity to relieve the man of his burden and maybe catch a cherry in the fall. He flung himself at him, as if the push had sent him crashing and made to right himself and knocked the golden bowl out of his hands sending all the fruit into the air. Except for a few that hit him in the face the boy was not able to catch any of the red cherries in his mouth.

"They still had the stems anyways," he said sourly, as the thugs dragged him back and away from their leader. At a glance Ottery could see that he was Wolfram senior, the boy's father.

The old man began to laugh, having caught the comment. Ottery smiled, at least the old villain had a sense of humor. Which didn't change the fact that he still wanted to beat his son to a pulp for stealing his kiss. Of course, that last one had not been so bad, and if anything it had been better for being so sudden and unexpected.

"I said, when you're done daydreaming..."

Ottery looked around. "Not just yet, give me another second I haven't gotten to the good part yet." The older Wolfram started to laugh again. One of the thugs smacked Ottery on the back of the head. "Hey watch it." He complained, as he turned to glare at the culprit, the Slytherin boy walking past elbowed Ottery and sent him to his knees.

"I got you someone father. Now if you don't need me anymore..."

Last post on Ottery's Mad :lmao: Life...

Ottery looked around. "Not just yet, give me another second I haven't gotten to the good part yet." The older Wolfram started to laugh again. One of the thugs smacked Ottery on the back of the head. "Hey watch it." He complained, as he turned to glare at the culprit, the Slytherin boy walking past elbowed Ottery and sent him to his knees.

"I got you someone father. Now if you don't need me anymore..."


~

The Baron jumped down from the statue, and patted his son on the cheek, given the boy's cold look Ottery could tell he did not like his father's affections, but when he didn't pull away or make to stop him he realized that neither was he going to go against his father.

"Son, I'll always need you." The Baron said. His uniform was open revealing the white shirt underneath, and Ottery could see a bit of the older man's stomach, he was obviously very acquainted with the finer comforts of life.

As he walked over towards the dark haired boy, the Slytherin turned on his heels and walked out in a huff. Leaving them behind. Ottery turned to look, worried a bit. If he was going after his friends...he needed to get out as soon as possible. He thought perhaps he could get himself on the Baron's good graces and get untied and escape.

"Release him. I don't like my guests tied up," the Baron said. Ottery turned back to look at him a perplexed look on his face. Well so much for the first part of the plan. Now if everything else would just go along so easily.

Ruben was riding a camel into the campsite in the cool night. No one seemed to notice, or care, most of the workers were gathered around their campfires eating and singing, and trying to forget the days hard work. The guards were bored and let him pass undisturbed thinking he was one of the Europeans. It was best not to bother them.

Oh, please, your making me blush! :blush: I'm sorry if I'm being too much of a problem to yeah, but... your gonna have to deal with it. Your my friend, now you get the whole package... hahahaha!

"You want me to go down there? It's dark!" Ottery complained, looking through a hole in the floor, down into a pit of black. He could see nothing of what lay in there, for all he knew it was a pit full of vipers.

"Now now son, you want to do this for me. I'll let you go afterwards. A favor in exchange for another favor." The Baron said clapping the boy on the back and scaring Ottery into thinking the man meant to push him down in there despite his objections. He stood up, and walked away from the hole.

"Well you can hardly call it that old man," he complained, shrugging, "I mean, your son and his thugs caught me...I'd hardly be your prisoner but for the fact that you're keeping me."

"You're a smart boy." The Baron began, as he stood up and turned to look at the boy. He grabbed a water pouch and poured a drink into a goblet he offered Ottery. The boy took it but just smiled politely. "I'm sure whatever it is that you're looking for is down there as well."

"How do you know I'm looking for anything?" Ottery asked slyly.

"How do you know I don't know that you are looking for anything?" The Baron replied good-naturedly as he served himself a drink in another goblet. It was only after he took a drink that Ottery raised his cup in toast and took a drink from his.

"How do I know that you don't know that I know that what you're looking for is the same thing I'm looking for in which case, I don't know what we're going to do about it when I get it?" The boy asked. Coughing suddenly as the firewhiskey burned its way down his throat.

"You're a swift one lad," he said clapping the boy on the back and taking a drink of his golden goblet, and offering Ottery more.

"Why not, ey? Que lindo eres," Ottery replied as the man splashed firewhiskey into the boy's silver goblet.

"You're my guest son. Only the best comforts." The older man said laughing heartily and watching Ottery down his drink as he took a swig of his own golden goblet. The boy was young and reckless. The Baron could outdrink a camel and that was saying something.

Wolfram walked out into the night. His dark robes contrasting with the white and cream colored robes that everyone seemed to be wearing. His were wizarding robes and he did not much care for blending in with the natives. He hated Egypt and the infernal heat, not that he much cared for Hogwarts either. All he knew was that he hated everywhere but his native Germany, and he longed to go back home to his friends and his mother and his glorious life. He wanted to go to Durmstrang along with all of his friends, wherever it was that was. Every holiday he would see them and they would show him the dark magics they had learned and he could only watch and be jealous of their time together. His father and his stupid ambitions were always crowding in on the young Wolfram's joys.

He kicked at the sand. He hated the old man. He was a basilisk. (Yes it means that but I can't say it here :blush: ). He missed that pretty blonde haired girl too...Marietta. Life was so wrong...he hated it, nothing ever seemed to go the way he wanted it too. He hated it. He hated everything but nothing more than having to do his father's bidding.

Ottery!! :glomp: You keep posting during my computer-less hours! hehe But I always check in! :yes: :glomp:

I'm going to use my one quote today to point out Indiana Jones references, as I am obliged to do ;: :

Quote:

"You want me to go down there? It's dark!" Ottery complained, looking through a hole in the floor, down into a pit of black. He could see nothing of what lay in there, for all he knew it was a pit full of vipers.
"Snakes? Why'd it have to be snakes?"

"Asps. Very dangerous. You go first."


Goodness how I love that man! :loved:

Plus I could get into drinking contests in the dessert, but I'll leave off! hehe

Love the post! Very much!

Ditto on the quote those 2 ^^ loved as well!

I hope that things are well with you and I hope to see you later, if not I understand completely that your plate is quite full. I'll be here when you get a break.

Loves much,
Lissy

dannylover 10-28-2005 05:14 PM

Ottery...I'm having writer's block and I'm a total wreck. I think I'm gonna cry...

If you can come up with anything, please help me.

Thanks

peppy :upside:

OtterySt.Catchpole 10-28-2005 09:43 PM

*Kicking the sand and laughing and crying*
 
*Ottery and Teddy walk by the lake*

Teddy: It's that time of the year again isn't it?
*Ottery replies wistfully looking at the sunset over the lake*: Yeah, I guess. I don't know...it just comes upon me. It creeps in quietly I think and then...
*Teddy takes Ottery's hand*: Never fails.
O: Someday it's going to win, you know.
T: Not before Paris.
O: Yeah, *wipes his eyes* But not before Paris.
T: You're taking me with you aren't you? You cold bas-
O: *grins wickedly* I don't like being alone, you know that.

~

He kicked at the sand. He hated the old man. He was a basilisk. (Yes it means that but I can't say it here :blush: ). He missed that pretty blonde haired girl too...Marietta. Life was so wrong...he hated it, nothing ever seemed to go the way he wanted it too. He hated it. He hated everything but nothing more than having to do his father's bidding.

He wondered, "Are we forever caught in the shadow of our parents expectations?" He hated his father, everyone loved him, his mother, his friends, his enemies, there was something charismatic about the older Wolfram and he did not have that and he hated it. How easily he could make friends and steal them. He could end it all. He could say goobye and goodnight to life and all of it's trials, most of which didn't seem worth it.

No matter how much he tried, he could never please his father, there was always some new trial, some new feat he had to perform. COuldn't he just love him as he was? He wanted to cry but the old habit was so ingrained...he could not have done it, if he thrust his hand into a fire. He doubted the pain of it would be more than what his father's demands, his cold indifference, his playful manner all combined caused him.

"I can't see him, do you?"

Wolfram turned to see who was speaking, beside a tent one of the workers seemed to be talking to his camel. The odd thing was he was holding something up to the camel's eyes. The moon shedding her cover of clouds shone down, and the reflection gave the object away. It was an omnioccular. He noticed a wisp of blonde hair, and he knew that they were Ottery's friends. The camel had to be David. He smiled a cruel smile. He could deliver the boy into his father's hands, and then maybe the Baron would let him go home for a bit. One favor exchanged for another.

~

They were sitting together alone on the sandy floor of the room, their backs to the wall under the torchlight, the gaping hole in the center of the room like an elephant no one wanted to notice.

"I just want what's best for my son, Otts, surely you understand?"

"Hel yeah!" The boy exclaimed grabbing the water pouch. "You need to discipline that boy...no tellin' were he's goin' to en *hic* up if you don't watch him caref *hic* fully."

The Baron, looked at the dark haired boy with a sideways glance. There was a certain element of sarcasm in his voice, it was evident even in his current state. There was a pain in his eyes even as he said that.

"Take the whip to 'im. Spoil the rod and spare the child...er whatever." He took another drink, and a tear rolled out of his eyes. He threw the goblet across the room where it fell into the dark hole and they heard it shatter. Ottery began to laugh crazily as the tears flowed down. There was a heavy sorrow there. The Baron handed the boy his goblet and poured him another drink.

"So, are you going to go down there for me? It's just a quick snatch grab job, you'll be up here before you know it. I'll pay for you a trip to anywhere in the world you want to go. Gold, if you'd like. A favor for a favor."

"Yeah, why not. You seem like a swell fella." Ottery replied. Why the devil not? The Baron really did seem like a fine chap, easy with the drinks, and he was even offering to pay and all he had to do was go down into the darkness...

~

Next: The Darkness Within...

T: Because that isn't hackneyed and cliche...
O: If I was standing next to a cliff...
T: Of course I'd push you...if you can't count on your family...who can you count on.

lol... omg! This is soo funny Ott's, I could totally picture it. It love it.

Ottie!!! I've missed you soo, I've had so much more time now without Volleyball! I love it, really, I LOVE Volleyball, but the freedom is so much more pleasing. That means I have more time for homework so I'll get that done faster and then I can come in here a lot more often... yay! Anyways, I loved it papi... keep it up okay.

OtterySt.Catchpole 10-29-2005 08:02 AM

Yet more...please, you'll just hate me in the morning...
 
For my Lottie...who's fic I should be reading, but I'm not... :bouncep:

~

"Oh, gah, why exactly am I doing this again?" Ottery was asking himself, as he threw up for the fourth time. If he had gotten sick on the artifact then tough for the Baron he'd have to come down and get it for himself. No way was he picking up anything he'd puked on [Ottery's Law #123]. It had been the Baron's stupid idea to send him after the thing now instead of waiting until the morning. The thugs were lowering the boy down into the darkness, a rope tied around his waist (T: The worst possible place when you've been drinking for hours O: Tell me about it :lol: of course it wasn't so funny just then :cry: ).

There was nothing but darkness, Ottery had thought to use his wand to light his own way but he didn't trust himself not to drop it just then (T:and you were busy puking your guts out O: and I was busy puking my guts out thank you for pointing that out Teddy *glares*) so he let it sit rather comfortably in his pocket. It seemed to go on forever, the large pit, and in the circling he lost himself in thoughts of other more miserable times.

Princess Thea, I've read a lot of your story though not all of it I'm sorry...but what you've got so far...is soooooooooooooooooo good, seriously you have to post this story... :lol:

:glomp: Ottery

I hope my work connection is better tonight, it was awful this morning.

I never pick up things that get puked on either. :no: Ottery is probably wondering - "but you're a nurse Lissy! Doesn't that come with the territory?"

Answer: I work with babies! Baby spit up is nothing... The last time an adult puked in front of me, I fled the scene... :evil: hehe

Kelly is like :gasp:

Meh heh heh

I've finally caught time to read this. :P

I've caught up and I must say I love this story more and more every day. Can't wait until you update again, even though I may not be able to read it right away. Love you!!! <3

OtterySt.Catchpole 11-01-2005 05:14 AM

99 Luftballoons...Where the devils Captain Kirk? Ottery what the it's war angels...
 
The effects of the firewhiskey wearing off Ottery stumbled around in the pit trying not to be sick. "Somebody stop the world I wanna get off." He thought to himself as thoughts of his nice warm, soft comfortable bed back at Hogwarts filled his mind. He would be and nice and comfortable, and maybe his stomach would stop sloshing around like a full winesack, which consequently was exactly what it was at that moment. He could already hear Teddy smacking him upside the head for being stupid and drinking in the first place and then he'd smack him again for not bringing him any. As much as Ottery would have liked to have burnt the little plush toy (at least that's what he told himself) he could never bring himself to do it, because it had been a present from his Grandmother. Poor woman, Teddy really had her fooled, he always behaved himself around the grownups it was Ottery who always took the fall when the little brown bear was up to mischief. Somehow or other the rope, the dynamite, the ax, or whatever implement of destruction or mayhem the little bear had gotten around to using would always end up in Ottery's hands, and that innocent little face he made and how he would stand with his hands behind his back always managed to fool the grownups into thinking Ottery had done it. Where his aunt was concerned it really didn't matter. The boy had been born bad anyways, what else was to be expected of him?

Horrid thoughts to fill his aching mind. He lit his wand, and closed his eyes as the sudden brightness blazed a circle of illumination around him. It was eerie, not being able to see what was outside of the circle of light, but being able to hear everything. If something came at him or charged him he would only see it too late, when it was upon him. (T: Yeah, think more horrid thoughts, why don't you? O: Oh, shut up I'm angry. Rotten luck.).

Well at least it was not a pit of vipers. The floor was solid beneath his feet, the light powdery sand scratching between his shoes and the stone beneath. He looked around and the room seemed empty. He untied the rope and began to explore. This was obviously not a treasury. Ottery heard the sound of quick shuffling and he turned to see what it was. He shone the light of his wand in the direction of the noise.

"What the?!"

~

"I can't see him, do you?" Ruben asked.

Wolfram turned to see who was speaking, beside a tent one of the workers seemed to be talking to his camel. The odd thing was he was holding something up to the camel's eyes. The moon shedding her cover of clouds shone down, and the reflection gave the object away. It was an omnioccular. Wolfram noticed a wisp of blonde hair, and he knew that they were Ottery's friends. The camel had to be David. He smiled a cruel grin. He could deliver the boy into his father's hands, and then maybe the Baron would let him go home for a bit. One favor exchanged for another.

"Looking for something?" Wolfram asked.

Ruben turned around suddenly at the sound of the boy's voice. He had not expected anyone to come at him from behind. He looked surprised for but a second and made to get his wand but the young Baron was pointing his at the camel.

"I wouldn't, if I were..." but Wolfram did not get to finish his thought, at David the camel spit on him. "Holy cow."

"I think you mean dromedary," Ruben said as he started laughing at the boy. David for his part took the wand in his mouth and spat it on the ground away from him, then transformed back into a boy, and punched the young baron who had been so busy trying to wipe the thick, gooey camel spit from his face.

"Serves him right." He exclaimed and Ruben just threw his hands back in surrender, he wasn't about to get between the two in a fight, not with David's newfound temper. David knelt next to the boy and pulled him up by his robes, "Where's Ottery, you git?"

"You filthy disgusting..."

"Spitting isn't the worst I can do." David threatened. "Lion, wolf, bear, I can even do magical creatures. Wanna see how sharp a hyppogriff's beak really is?"

"Whoa there," Ruben said suddenly turning serious and putting a hand on his friends shoulder but otherwise not making a move to stop him.

Next: *stolen from LissyLove* Things get angsty... (T: She's were you get all your brilliant ideas isn't she? O: Shut up! :blush: )

No replies...sorry, have to read for school, it's late, and life sucks. :cry: Why? Glad you asked. http://www.projectferret.org/index.p...=0&#entry15060 So that's my mission, and I can't change it, and I can't trade it, and it's set, and nothing on God's green earth can save me now. *Ottery can feel victory slipping through his hands* but alas, as any great Greek Tragedy...I go on to meet death valiantly. *singing* :music: "Don't you know you fool...you never can win...change your mentality...live up to reality...but each time I do just the thought of you makes me stop just before I begin...because I've got you...under my skin..." *singing to Rupert* :music: Everyone go vote for Lissy, she's there too, and jump in and try out kids...hey they let me in didn't they? Most of you kids probably got a better chance than me ;) Percy...Percy...OMG! *dies*

*Ottery & Lissy dancing* :yoshi: :monkey:
You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Knights of the air
ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here...
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.

Lissydove 11-01-2005 06:15 AM

:glomp: Ottery X infinity first cus I love him and second because you are just too sweet! :loved: I saw what you said in my fic and... :glomp: You are just too good to me. Honestly, you are my inspiration.

You can breath life into the boy! He may not be Ron, but he can be fun too :shifty: Besides, this is only round one! There's more to come! Ottery for the win!! :yes:

Thank you. You make me feel better, always, you're too sweet. :glomp:

Ali, yeah, well it isn't going to be that exciting when you find out but I thought, why give it away so soon right? I might change my mind, about the cliffie, but I haven't... :lol: so yeah, please don't be disappointed. I should be working on my ferret task but...no...I'm doing a little bit of research instead...Ignatius and his birthday is in August...Percy from Percival, I'm going to use that angle, but I hate manticores and *tackle glomps Lissy* she looked them up for me, she's so sweet, and I didn't even ask.

Okay, here goes peeps...I hope I can write...we'll see.

"Serves him right." He exclaimed and Ruben just threw his hands back in surrender, he was not about to get in-between the two in a fight, not with his friend's newfound temper. David knelt next to the boy and pulled him up by his robes, "Where's Ottery, you git?"

"You filthy disgusting..."

"Spitting isn't the worst I can do." David threatened. "Lion, wolf, bear, I can even do magical creatures. Wanna see how sharp a hyppogriff's beak really is?"

"Whoa there," Ruben said suddenly turning serious and putting a hand on his friends shoulder but otherwise not making a move to stop him.

~

"You wouldn't..." Wolfram fell back onto the sands as he felt a snake slithering on his stomach, a cobra readying itself to spit it's dangerous venom. "All right, all right. Get it off me. Please," the boy exclaimed. David slythered off and turned back into his human form.

"I thought you could do more than spit?" Ruben asked, as David helped the other boy off the ground.

He turned to look at him. "I thought a venemous cobra was pretty menacing."

"It, it-it was," the young baron stuttered nervously, letting go of David's hand quickly, and nervously.

"Well, go on. Lead the way, sire," Ruben said, covering his face and pushing the boy ahead of him. They began walking towards the center pyramid where Ottery was inside.

I'm not feeling it...sorry. :glomp: Back in a million years...that Percy story's just begging for attention...I know it's going to suck... *sighs*

In Ottery's hands? :shifty: I think we could be in for a wild ride! :yes: Honestly, I know you will come up with something really good. I was just so straightforward and locked in to the scenario in mine. Not very exciting. :glomp: But you are so sweet for liking it though.

I love you too and I'm here for you on both the crummy and the good days - no matter what! :glomp:

OtterySt.Catchpole 11-06-2005 08:14 AM

I thinks its going to be a long long time...before I finish this fic...*sighs*
 
"You two again?" Ottery exclaimed as his wandlight fell on the two young thieves he had met earlier. Tomb raiders they clearly were, but that was just a polite way of saying they stole for a living. Just the same he could hardly judge, but then again he was doing for a good cause. He just didn't know what that cause was, yet.

"Its a small world but really, twice in one day?" Ottery was thinking to himself. Didn't he have enough of brats with his sister? :whtflg: The older red haired boy made to go for his wand.

"I wouldn't if I were you. I mean, I've already got mine out. You're not Wyatt Earp." Ottery said sagely, a self satisfied smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" The little girl asked angrily, before Mouse could say anything.

"Grave robbing same as you two." Ottery said, smiling meanly.

"We're not thieves!" The red haired boy named Mouse exclaimed, a little annoyed at the moniker Ottery seemed obstinate on placing on them.

"Yeah, well I'm sure in your reality pigs fly too. But out here in the real world..." The young girl walked up to Ottery and kicked him on the shin before he could finish his statement.

"Ouch! What is your problem, midget?" Ottery exclaimed, hopping around on one leg.

"Meddling, prats like you," she exclaimed her hands on her hips, a pout on her face.

"Meddling? You little troublemaker." Ottery made to grab her, and she screamed and ran to hide behind the redhaired boy. "Let me at her, the little imp."

"Look, what are you after? We can all help each other out and the sooner we can get out of here, the better it is for all of us. I doubt very much you're friends of the Baron." Mouse said sagely, holding Ottery back.

"He's not such a bad guy once you get to know him." Ottery replied, looking at the boy, smiling guiltily. The Baron had been kind with his firewhiskey, it was hard not to like someone who was so easy with their drink.

"Another fan." A voice remarked bitterly. Ottery turned to look. It was the younger Wolfram, and his two best friends.

"Hey!" Ottery exclaimed, happy to see David and Ruben.

"Can we skip the happy family reunions?" Wolfram remarked on seeing David about to run to Ottery, the dark skinned boy blushed, and Ottery glared at Wolfram. He wasn't particularly fond of the little aristocrat.

"Why don't I shove a boot--" Ruben cleared his throat, and with his eyes motioned to the kids. Mouse had his hands over the little girls ears and Pixie was smiling mischievously. Something about the look she was giving him told Ottery she already knew what he had meant to say.

"We're here for a reason, Wolfram." Ruben reminded his hostage. "Who're you're friends?" The blonde haired boy then asked Ottery.

"Friends, nothing. More like minor nuisances. Emphasis on the minor." Ottery said crossing his arms.

"Hey, I'm fourteen. How old are you?" Mouse exclaimed.

"Older." Ottery remarked playing coy, and sticking his tongue out when he thought no one was looking but Mouse.

"By what? Two minutes?" A soft voice called out from the red haired boy's foot.

"Who said that?" Ottery asked.

"Down here genius." A surly squirrel replied.

"Okay, this is just getting weird. Talking squirrels? What next, Moroccan moles?" Wolfram asked, and Ottery was about to reply when Ruben pushed past them all to walk into the shadows.

"How'd you all get in here?" Ottery asked David.

"Wolfram knew a back way in. He doesn't get along very well with his father, so he wasn't all too keen on telling the old man about the back door. He doesn't like you, either, and he thought...maybe...the Baron would just...throw you down here or something. He didn't expect you two would get along so well." David said bashfully.

"Hey, where's the brat?" Ottery asked, meaning Wolfram, but in response he got a kick in the shins. "Ouch. I meant the other one." He exclaimed growling at Pixie who had run to hide behind Mouse again.

"What've you got there?" Michaelangelo asked Ruben, who was staring at the wall hidden in shadows.

"Put some light over here." Ruben asked.

"I'm going to get that prat before he..." Ottery said, about to run out the door. Not that he knew where it was in the mostly darkened chamber. But details could wait.

"Ottery. C'mon. He's probably off getting the thugs. We don't have much time!" Ruben exclaimed, ever the voice of reason.

"LUMOS!" Ottery howled angrily pointing his wand at Ruben. A giant bright flash blinded Mouse and Pixie who were in the way of the beam, they covered their eyes and complained loudly. David gasped. Michaelangelo smiled and Ruben looked in awe at the giant mural.

"Is that? Is that an otter?" Ottery asked, about a hieroglyph on the wall.

"Looks like a ferret to me." Pixie exclaimed, and Ottery stuck his tongue out at her.

"Nope, that's a gopher." Mouse exclaimed sure of his answer.

"You're all wrong, it's clearly a squirrel," Michaelangelo corrected.

"A moroccan mole?" David asked not so sure.

But Ruben was not looking at the hieroglyph as much as he was looking at the figure of the sun around which were four jade scarabs of varying colors. A red one, a yellow one, a green one, and a blue one.

"Why isn't this stuff ever easy?" Ottery complained.

"It's the red one Ottery," David replied soflty, taking the boys hand in his.

"Oh." Ottery answered, a little surprised. Dumbledore had mentioned that then, likely he had been thinking about something else when Old Wulfric had said that. He blushed to think what it was his mind had been on at the time. It hadn't been chocolate.

My dearest Ottery! :glomp: (another for good measure)

Great new post! ^_^ I'm suspicious of our David now, though. :shifty: Why did he tell you Red scarab, when we know it is the Blue one? :shifty: Is he trying to mislead you? Did he miss what DD said? Was he thinking of vanilla too? :huh:

*smothers my Otter in a big hug and won't let go* Why are you crying? Who was mean? :mad: Lissy gets out her boxing gloves and a huge can of you- know-what. Gggggrrrrrr.... I can tolerate meanies, they can say all they want to me, but mess with someone I love.... gggrrrrrrrrr Let me at them! :mad:

I've missed you lots and lots too! :glomp: I figured you had to go the other day, but I didn't know there were meanies... :mad: But since then, I've been working :( It's the weekend, after all. So I haven't been in much either. I read your Percy story and I thought it was brilliant! :bow: I'm hoping for an Ottery win myself! :yes:

Loves you much! :loved: Don't let the meanies get you down. Lissy will take care of them!

No the asterixes aren't there because I was cursing... Not in front of the ladies...
 
T: It was Rupert wasn't it.
O: Teddy shut up about it already. :blush: You're supposed to keep my secrets, hello!

~

Everything was darkness and sadness and despair and all the world could go away because it would never change. Everyone loved the Baron, Wolfram despaired of ever being like his father. Even his enemies liked him. He wanted to escape the long shadow cast by that man, but he knew he never would, they had the same name, they had the same blood, and blast him they had the same curse. He was crying angry tears. He was finding it hard to breathe. He was so angry he was having to remind himself to breathe, he was killing himself because of the old man. Dam him, dam him and his blasted quests and his stupid goals, and his evil plans, he was his own person, he didn't need to follow everything the Baron had laid out for him. But if he disobeyed the old fool he would be left with what? Gone the inheritance and the happy easy life. But it wasn't such an easy life.

He walked into the chamber and found his father sleeping on the floor an empty wineskin next to him hardly the regal figure he knew the old man could impose. He wanted nothing more than to kick him. To knock him over and beat the fool senseless.

"Forget this," the younger Wolfram said. He walked out of the chamber. Let his father lose his precious prize right under his own drunken nose. He knew there would be consequences but at the moment they mattered very little. He wanted to go home. He wanted to go back home and feel safe and warm and loved. If only for a bit.

"It's the red one Ottery," David replied soflty, taking the boys hand in his.

"Oh." Ottery answered, a little surprised. Dumbledore had mentioned that then, likely he had been thinking about something else when Old Wulfric had said that. He blushed to think what it was his mind had been on at the time. It hadn't been chocolate.


~~~


"This adventures getting old." Ottery exclaimed and walked past the kids, let's just get it and go, already." He made to grab the red scarab.

"Ottery DON'T!" Ruben exclaimed, but he was too late to stop his friend.

What happened next happened quickly. A momentary mistake that would change their lives forever.


END BOOK II

T: The critics are saying the ending was too abrupt.
*Ottery doing his hair in front of the vanity* O: The cads... *fires the cannons at the critics* Besides...it isn't over... *glares at the readers* until the epilogue is post. *sighs* Oh, well... *rushes out on stage to an empty hall* <_< But I always get the last word in...

:music: Send in the clowns... :music:

Epilogue
or
"...the wound that would not heal, It's the bitter taste of losing everything, I've held so dear..."



Present

An old cottage on a hill.

"Is that it?" The little boy asked. "Just like that and wham it's over?"

"What you wanted maybe a car chase?" The cranky old man asked. The children knew better than to take him seriously, he was always going off on a rant about something or other. It was hard to take the old codger seriously sometimes, blathering on about martians and his teddy bear as it were.

"No. But what happened to Ottery, viejo?" The little girl asked more diplomatically.

"Yeah, I mean, what happened?" Another boy asked, and the old man raised his eyes to see a group of children sitting around him before the fire, listening to his story.

He silently blessed them all for humoring a crazy old man and his lunacies, and he sighed.

"Did he have a happy ending?" A girl with short brown hair asked, sweetly.

The old man smiled at her, his saddest smile. She was dear to his heart. He could not lie to her, to spare her though.

"No. There were no happy endings for Ottery St. Catchpole. There were bright sparkles of happiness in his life," the old man smiled, remembering the soft melody from the music box, the angels, a cute and funny redhaired boy, and old friends, "but his life was a bittersweet symphony."

"Save the lectures old man, what happened then." An impatient little blonde girl asked, pouting with annoyance. She was obviously used to getting her way.

"What happened was that he had great adventures with his friends. He saw the world and he was happy when he could be. Now go off with you, I'm an old man and I need my rest." El viejo told the children. They knew they would get no more stories out of him. At least not on that day. When they were gone he walked over to his bed, where a frayed old bear sat waiting for him.

"You're a fool you know that," the bear said, it was not a question.

"I'm an old fool, and I'm tired." He lay down to sleep. In the silent evening, his bear hugged him goodnight.

Fini

*Ottery hugs everyone* Yeah, uhm, I'm tired kiddies. Thank you all for humoring an old man. I'm sorry to say Lottie was wrong, Love's Evil is not a fic. I don't think I'll be writing HP fics for a while. Except maybe for the Tri-Ferret Tourney, stop by kids. I love you all. Thank you again.

*Ottery and Teddy walk out*
T: You're a fool Ottery, you know that.
O: :music: I'll be seeing you, in all the old familiar places... :music:


EDIT: "...the wound that would not heal, It's the bitter taste of losing everything,
I've held so dear..."
by Sarah McLachlan. Yeah, stealing, even if it's just ideas sucks!

Latinhottie13 11-08-2005 04:32 AM

Oh, well that makes me feel stupid. :blush: Dang, no more Ott's... oh yeah, that sotry on PF is funny... I dont think I'd be ready for such a thing... yeah. But your story was good. There's one about Hermione and I was excited by it at the beginning, but it didn't really meet my standards... lol. Why should I be talking... well, I loved your story and I'm very sad it has ended. I do hope you will tell me when you do write a new one. Te quedo mucho Ottie, mucho amor, besos y abrazos... adios!

~Lottie

OtterySt.Catchpole 11-08-2005 06:18 AM

To my dearest Lottie...and friends...
 
:glomp: Stupid? Why dear? Love's Evil was going to be a fic I was going to write...but I've decided the Ferret contest deserves all of my attention *cough* as does your fic, and Peppy's and Ali's and everyone else's*cough* you guys write your little hearts out, and they're some of the best fics here on SS IMHO.

T: Otts should know, at one point he was reading all of them. *fires the cannons*
O: Felt that way, anyways... <_<

I'm totally honored to have you guys read my stuff, I love all y'all's stuff, and I seriously think you'd be more than up to the challenge Lottie. When I start a fic on FP I'd love you to join my story...as soon as I figure what I want to write yo! :lol:

Because I forgot, Shannon thank you for Rupert. :glomp: Best present I ever got. *glomping the Rupertness*

FYI: I'm not leaving SS, I'm just taking a break from writing fanfic...gotta write my novels yo!

T: How else is Ottery going to pay to go to the premiere of Ootp in London and get to meet Rupert.
O: :blush:

dannylover 11-08-2005 12:26 PM

Yo Otts, it's okay if you didn't read my posts yet. And I can't help myself--I'm an eager beaver, of course I'm gonna post a million thingies at once. I was excited that I got over my writer's block, so...the bell rang, later!!

peppy :upside:

OtterySt.Catchpole 11-09-2005 08:00 AM

*Ottery glomps his fic* I miss you already...
 
What's a guy gotta do to get some feedback here? Yo?

T: You asked them not to review. :poke:

O: :blush: Oops.

OtterySt.Catchpole 11-09-2005 08:10 AM

Why? Because I can. LOL *Ottery glomps Rupert* Pouty Lips...Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I had no idea at first that this fic was over! :dunce: I thought, ok after Book II comes Book III - right? Aaaaaahhhhhhh......

I'm going to miss this fic. I'm not going to have my regular dose of Ottery fics, and that just makes me :cry: I can always go re-read Loves though! And the Love Parade!

Anyway, as I told you, I understand! :glomp: You do what you need to and when you pick up writing here again, I'll be ready to read! :yes: I wish you the best in your other ventures and I'm rooting for you to win at Ferret!! :glomp:
