| | The Guest Rooms  Up the spiral staircase, the platform leads to a long hallway. On either side of the hall are different colored doors that each led to a guest room. The key to every guest room has a different color ribbon attached that corresponds to the color of the door. This little detail helps Harley remember who is staying where.
Inside each room is a large and comfortable bed that seems to sink in with each guest as they lie down for a snooze. Beside the bed is an old wooden table that has a lamp for candlelight. Each lamp is special to each room. The color of the door is the color that the light illuminates the space. Once the light is lit the colors floats up to the ceiling and illuminates the room in a round ball of gas hovering above the bed.
Every room is cleaned and maintained by the cleaning staff every morning after the guests have breakfast. And because Lucy lives at the Leaky Cauldron she is always available to handle any problems or complaints filed about the room or service.
Each one of the fifteen rooms at the Leaky Cauldron is equip with a fireplace for flooing (but remember that only those with guest keys may do so), a vanity, and a dresser with several wooden hangers, and a view of the streets below, which filter in the noise from both Diagon Alley and Charing Cross Roads.
Because of the limited space at the Leaky Cauldron those who wish to spend the night or any length of time must file with Lucy about staying in a guest room. Once administered a key be mindful to be respectful to your fellow witches and wizards and at all times follow the Rules of the Leaky Cauldron. OOC: In order to post here, your character must have rented a room from Lucy. If you are posting here without renting, you will be notified by PM that your posts have been deleted. Repeated offenders will result in further action taking place.
Feel free to role play your characters bustling about up here. When your character chooses to check out, though, let Birchwoodmom know, so you can be taken off the list. Names that have been on the list for more than three weeks will be removed automatically.

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Harley looks curiously at the younger girl... Ice Cubes? Wait, why would she need ice cubes? Was the girl getting her a drink? Why would she need a drink in this high pressure situation. She did not read that liquids were important during labor. Maybe she was wrong. Sure, yeah she was probably right, "I'm not thirsty... Thanks though."
Then she felt a sharp pain. She doubled over in pain with marshmallow in her hands. When the pain was gone she looked up at the girl and said, "Take the cat... TAKE THE CAT!!"

No on the ice cubes. She'd thought as much, but her window of oppurtunity of leaving just sank through a black hole in the ground. Especially when all of that started happening. Again. EEP!
What was she supposed to dooooo?! This was worse than an astronomy class...
Flailing about a little when miss lady was in pain, not even sure what to do with her hands...they automatically grabbed the cat when told to do so. "OKAY." She had the cat!! "M-Maybe you should sit."
OR SOMETHING! /flail

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Harley needed a Healer NOW! This was no joke and she did not want to have this baby without someone helping her. Thus far the crazed cat resident was not doing anything for her besides suggesting that she sit down. In all honesty, she could give a flying hippogriff is she sat or not. Now that was was actually starting to prepare t have this baby that had been destroying her body for the past nine months she did not have any patience to sit or do what she needed to do. So instead she just shook her hand at the girl and said as quietly as she could at the moment, "GET RYOMA OR SOMEONE! DO SOMETHING!!!!"
Yep, nice and calm.

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL!
Jumping away from the lady, whose name she just finally remembered though had no point now, Evelyn quickly backtracked towards the door, holding Marshmallow rather close in the process. "Okay..." OKAY! Turning to leave, apparently the door liked to move on it's own because THAT WASN'T THE DOORWAY!
Scowling at the wall she ran into, Evelyn side-stepped and ran through the open door. PREGNANT LADY WAS YELLING AT HER!

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Harley walked into the third guest room with Sachiko on her hip. The little beautiful baby had been crawling everywhere lately now that she had her own form of transportation outside of Mommy and Daddy. It was so cute to see her crawl, but at the same time she was a demon crawling everywhere and getting herself into a million predicaments. So when Mommy had to clean the guest rooms during the day it was best to keep the baby on her hip, especially because Ryoma was AWOL doing whatever it was that he did during the day.
The blonde placed Sachiko on the floor to allow her freedom to crawl around while she cleaned up a little. She was halfway through making the bed when she heard a pair of limbs crawling out the door. Her eyes widened and she jumped across the room and collected her daughter in her arms. In a sweet baby voice she said, "You, missy, are a little devil. I can't control you." Then she proceeded to kiss her daughter's cute little cheeks. Merlin, she loved this child.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Having just finished with the upstairs, bringing luggage and leaving complimentary mints and all that, Ryoma was making his way back down the stairs when he saw Sachiko crawling out of one of the rooms which only meant one thing - Harley was in there cleaning. Abandoning the rest of the stairs, Ryoma instead jumped over the banister and landed rather studly, if he said so himself, on the wood floor below just in time for his...girlfriend(?) to pick up their daughter.
"I think she takes after me," he smirked. Being active and overtly curious that is...and not being able to be controlled by Harley, sort of. Merlin did he hope she didn't take on all of his personality characteristics....he was going to need to put up boy repelling charms around the place. He shoved his hands into his pockets, one of which contained a constant reminder of something that they really needed to discuss, but he didn't say anything just yet. Instead, he simply gazed upon the two most beautiful women in his life.

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Harley turned her head to see her boyfriend standing in the doorframe starring affectionately at her and their child. Snuggling Sachiko to her chest she walked over to Ryoma and chuckled, "Well she is a lot for me to handle, so I suppose in that respect she does take after you." Then she leaned over the little girl's head and kissed him on the cheek, "I thought you were running errands today."
That was the problem with their relationship. The blonde woman had always had the problem of never keeping track of Ryoma, which was a communication problem on her end. The baby had brought some much needs stability to their lives. However, of the pair it seemed that only Ryoma had truly grown up to an extent. Harley was still very much invested in her life as a foolish young person, that was why she had such a hard time adapting to the baby and why Sachiko was closer with her father.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Ryoma couldn't help but smirk when Harley kissed his cheek and was rather surprised at himself for not turning his head slightly to meet her lips instead of allowing such an innocent kiss. Maybe it was his parental side kicking in. Merlin, had the dragon been somewhat tamed? Looking down at Sachiko he knew the answer. It hadn't been Harley, but she who had done it.
Still smirking, he trailed one of his fingers over his daughter's cheek. "It is still early," he laughed. Not even past lunch time yet. He was Ryoma, not superman. Besides, it was only a short trip to the market to pick up some fresh produce. "Sachi, you want to go with daddy to buy fruit and vegetables?" he asked as he leaned forward to pinch her cheeks softly. It was also his 'teach my daughter the names of fruits and vegetables time'.

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Watching the short interaction between Ryoma and Sachiko, Harley found her insides warming. It was such a simple action, but the tenderness between the two was apparent. Ryoma had been smitten with the small, little, beautiful, crazy child since the moment she opened her eyes. Previous to their own relationship, Harley had never seen Ryoma so taken with any woman like he was with his daughter. She was his world and even if Harley ended up not being the object of his affection, the little bundle of joy in her arms would always be. The thought of his unconditioned love made her want to hug them both- three family hug!
Except, Erm, they weren't really a family. It was complicated. They were at least happy though- right?
When he spoke directly to their daughter, she pulled the baby away slightly from his fingers and gathered her into her own chest, "You just want to steal her away. Your daddy is showing." It was sweet though. Very sweet.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf "And your overprotective mother is showing," he said with an obvious frown. Honestly, he knew that mothers should be attached to their children, but she was also his little girl. Unless...Harley had other intentions, which he had to admit he selfishly thought about from time to time. It was the little things, like right now Harley pulling Sachiko away from him. Maybe he was wrong about...
Ryoma shook his head and instead reached out again to his fingers could tickle his little girl's cheeks. "I just want to spend time with my daughter," he said, eyes not even looking at Harley as he said this.

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN The blonde woman have Ryoma a serious look when he frowned at her. She was only joking when she pointed out his daddy-like behavior. Lately, it seemed, that the pair of them were on different wavelengths with one another. They had only been together for about a year and a half, but she was starting to get strange vibes from Ryoma. He had been short with her lately and as much as she loved watching him with the baby, she selfishly wished from time to time that they had time to themselves. A night or two to remind him that she was still here.
Without saying much, she bent to his wishes and handed Sachiko over to the arms of Ryoma. Then she pulled her blonde hair up in a ponytail and went back to gather her wand to continue her cleaning. Her eyes focused on her task as she said, "That's fine. I'll see you two later. Be home for dinner." Honestly, she was a tad upset with him at the moment and she needed some space.
It was not like he wanted to spend time with her anyway.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Okay, now he had done it. Hesitating for just a moment, Ryoma scooped Sachiko up in his arms, giving her quick Eskimo kisses just to let his daughter know that he was here. His eyes then immediately returned to Harley. He had hit a nerve. An obvious nerve. He seemed to be doing that a lot recently...which was making what he wanted to ask her seem more and more like some distant dream.
He moved closer to her, reaching out with one of his hands to cup her face - completely ignoring that she wanted some space right now. He was not going to just leave her like she was right now. Her body language was just...not the way he liked seeing her. His chocolate eyes locked onto hers, gazing not just into her eyes but into her. "Harley," he said in a soft voice, softer than his usual tone as of late. "What is it?"
And no, he wasn't going to leave until she gave him an answer.

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN The assistant shopkeeper was mid cleaning charm when she felt a pair of hands on her face. She tried for a few moments to avoid eye contact with him, but when someone had their hands on their face it was hard to not look at them. Eventually she succumbed to the itch to look and him and sighed as she made eye contact. The way he said her name though caught her attention. It was extremely gentle and sweet. Very unlike his tone as of late.
But when he asked her what was the matter she removed his hand from her face and returned to her work. Right now she did not want to deal with him. In her own head she had to sort a few things out. They had come to a serious halt in their relationship. She felt like they never spoke anymore, let alone show any means of affection. Harley was never a relationship person, previous to Ryoma she was not trustful of men, but now that she was in one with him she wanted something more. Not marriage, but attention. She felt like she was just the mother of his child, nothing else. And it was a hard pill to swallow.
So she said sort of coldly, "Nothing, we can talk later. You and I both have work to do." Besides, wasn't that why she was at the Leaky? To work?

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Way to go Shiradou. NOT.
Sighing heavily as he adjusted his hold on Sachiko in his arms, her tiny ones wrapping around his neck and tugging on his hair curiously, Ryoma simply continued to look at Harley. Nothing. He kne what that meant and it wasn't what some ruddy dictionary said the word meant. Harley's nothings never actually meant nothing. They meant more "you have been a right git Ryoma Shiradou an now I want to hex your hair off." Not to mention that it was pair with work.
She was making an excuse. Running away from the situation. Or at least avoiding it.
"Or we can just talk now," he said, his expression surprisingly calm considering how his insides felt like they had just turned inside out. "Come on Harley. We live together and I care about you enough to know when you are hiding something from me. So just let me have it." And he could put Sachiko down for a nap if that would help get her to talk. Work could wait. It wasn"t even busy at the moment for that to be an excuse.

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Did they have a goblin or something stay in this room? It was horribly filthy and all of the sheets were strewn around to cover all the windows. Or maybe it was a vampire? If it was a vampire she and Ryoma had to have a very serious talk about letting the baby crawl down the halls. Sachiko was very curious for a child her age.
For a moment when she did not hear Ryoma say anything she thought that he had left the room. She was glad that he had taken her hint and left the room. A little space to clear her head was probably the best way to handle this situation so she did not say anything that she regretted.
But then she heard Ryoma say something that signaled that he was still in the room. She bit down on her bottom lip to refrain from muttering to herself. With a deep breath she said, "Honestly Ryoma? I just don't want to talk about it right now. And I'm glad that you care about me and all, but you have a horrible way of showing it." Under her breath she muttered, "I knew this wasn't going to work." The blonde was genuinely happy that the two of them had Sachiko. She was a light in both of their worlds and she was glad that Ryoma would always have her, but lately she didn't feel like he cared at all about her.

| Dem Carters | even 🕊🕊 have pride | | Expecto PAWtronum 🐈 | U-NA-GI Realizing quickly, once she'd reached the upper level where the rooms were, that the color of the keychain in her hand matched one of the doors, Vanessa made her way to the turquoise one. Room 2-1. Her home, for two weeks, anyway. The twenty eight year old placed her stuff on the floor for the second time that night so that she could stick the key in the lock. Turning it, she took a deep breath before opening the door. And sighed. The lamp was all the way across the room. Meaning that she was going to have to leave the door opened until she get it lit. Joy, joy. Picking her things back up off the floor, she entered the room, put her stuff back down and walked over to the lamp. Trying failing three times before finally getting the thing going. As soon as she did though, the light zoomed towards the ceiling and hovered there, casting the room in slightly turquoise hue. Huh.
Tearing her eyes from the floating light, she walked over to the door and shut it finally. Deciding to leave the boxes until much latter, Vanessa grabbed her suitcase and started unpacking her clothes. Wrinkled clothes just were not a good look...

Shaking his head for a moment while Sachiko continued to pull and tug on his hair with her curious fingers, Ryoma simply stood there looking at her, Harley, with the eyes of a puppy that had just been kicked across the courtyard. You have a horrible way of showing it... I knew this wasn't going to work... It was the last bit that felt as though someone had just ripped his heart out and stomped all over it.
So much for the THING in his pocket then...
Balancing his daughter on one arm, Ryoma rubbed the back of his neck with his other hand. "I don't just care about you, Harley, I love you," he said with a boyish shyness that rivaled that of a Hogwarts student. What did she want him to do? Cover her room in roses every night? Write poetry? Ryoma was no Prince Charming, far from it really, and those typical romantic things that ladies expected were the sort of thing he did just to hook up with women - back before he had settled down. Which was why he didn't do much of that now. Those gestures felt empty.

Which was why he didn't do much of that now. Those gestures felt empty. The blonde did not even want to look Ryoma's way. In many ways, was she being childish? Yes. But was it so wrong to want someone to care about her in a way that did not wreak of indifference. All of her life Harley had always thought that men were not worth her time. Love was all fine and dandy and she believed that real love existed, it was the princess in her, but she never knew if that kind of thing would be for her. Harley's expectations were too high, her mother had always warned her about that.
Now though she did not care of her expectations were too high. She was the type of woman who had a certain standard, which she held to herself and to everyone in her life. That meant that she was hard on people with the way she wanted to be treated, but was it so wrong that Harley wanted to feel like a girlfriend and not a roommate? Lately, her and Ryoma were so focused on ye baby that she felt like he lost sight of them. Although she had half expects so much. What did she think was going to happen? A man who had never had a serious relationship in his life besides his mirror would want to be with the blonde barkeep? Now that she was thinking it through it didn't make much sense.
And also, the young mother was unhappy. It had been boiling up inside of her since Sachiko was born. It had NOTHING to do with the beautiful child that lay in Ryoma's arms. She was perfection in a word and if Harley had done everything wrong in her life- having Sachiko was right. But as for herself, between the crying and the late nights and the lazy days in jazz pants, Harley had lost sight of Harley.
In all honesty, she wasn't really sure that she was mad at Ryoma. Her frustration came from the fact that when she first arrived at the Leaky Cauldron she was an independent, driven, beauty who had confidence to spare. Now she wasn't that person anymore. She had lost that girl in the mix of everything else in her life and it upset her.
So when Ryoma brushed her off and got short with her it only fueled her frustration. He was still the same person. She saw the way every girl who walked into the Leaky Cauldron looked at him. And she was so radically different. And he said he still loved her? She doubted that. She didn't really love herself anymore.
That was why when he said that he loved her, she rolled her eyes at him and snapped, "Ryoma, please stop. I really don't wanna talk about this anymore. Can we just do this later?" She needed some time to herself to figure out what to do next in her own head.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Those thoughts earlier? Yeah...he was taking them back. He did not like that he was digging his own grave right now. Wait, no, he was beyond digging and had moved on to putting nails in his own coffin. Probably already had several in now that he really thought about it.
Removing his hand from behind his neck, he used it to softly cupped his daughter's face. A face that was so clearly a combination of his and Harley's. A face that he had always looked at and seen as a symbol of them, him and Harley, and of a future they had together. Only now...now he wasn't sure that that was what she wanted. He knew what he did, and he had apparently taken WAY too long to get it off his chest. But what did she expect? He had never been the sort to actually stick around for longer than one night - if even that. The fact that he was still her was saying a lot.
But maybe she had forgotten about that. Or maybe he was just being a proper git. It was always the man's fault, right?
Only Ryoma didn't say anything - mostly because he didn't want to fight in front of Sachiko. Which is why he simply nodded his head and backed away. He did have errands to run, but now the desire to do them was gone. "Yeah, sure Harley," he whispered, his tone laced with a feeling that somewhat resembled despair. "Just...just let me know when you are ready to talk." Because he was done forcing the issue.
And that was it. Ryoma turned around with Sachiko in his arms and began to make his way out of the room. Sachiko ceased playing with her father's hair and looked ar Harley with her big doe eyes and waved.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Archie O'Brien Slytherin Third Year | Liz used the key to unlock the door to her room. Once she walked in she sat down on the bed, and laid back. Once she closed her eyes after a bit she got back up. Then she put her stuff away into the drawers. She might have been messy at home, but she wanted to be clean here since it would make her look like a better person. After she was done with that she walked back downstairs to get her order.

| For Hera Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Perfect. The Room was just how he imagined it would be...after tweaking the layout here and there of course. Right now the room looked more like a large office, a wall over taken by the other candidate's pictures, and sticky notes. A small desk off in the corner riddled with posters, and slogan ideas. His Bed which was the only thing that hadn't moved was cluttered with piles upon piles of fake blonde wigs. To the untrained eye this would look like a giant hairy creature sleeping. The neatest looking part of his room was a small wooden table with two small wooden chairs sitting opposite each other smack in the center of it all. This is where Warfield sat scribbling something on the back of a piece of paper that read 'VOPE COTE' a horrible typo on his part while working on a simple poster for his candidate. On the back of this he wrote. 'Come see me once your done. I'm all set up now, so we better get started.'
He folded the paper up into the shape of a paper airplane and with a quick swish and flick of his wand sent it off for Cooper to find.

| ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf Cooper had rather enjoyed his meal, and the atmosphere downstairs... until of course, a paper plane flew into the back of his head, still, it had been amusing. Stepping into their new headquarters, Coopers jaw dropped in marvel. "Wow... you did good," he said, spotting Warfield. How long had this taken him?
Walking over to one of the walls, he examined the photos of his competing candidates. Some of them he liked, some he didn't... "So what's the plan of attack?!" he asked enthusiastically, spinning on his heel till he faced his manager. He had a plan, yes?

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. "Cooper, you got my note." Warfield said with a smile. "Thank you, it wasn't to much work really. Getting the images up on the wall was quite fun for me actually." He watched as Cooper walked over to said wall and looked at the pictures. "A Plan of attack? Well I've got two ideas brewing in my head right now. The first is to get you out there much more. You're doing great in the Election, but others are no doubt doing better." He pointed his fingers notably at Carter, Knox, Reynolds, and held his fingers longer on both Schrimer, and Vinteren. "I believe to get you on par with these five our plan of attack is to attack. If you disagree with something one of those five, or anyone of the candidates left have to say let the public know. You've got to let the voters know why you're against it, and give them your better sollution. He let that linger for a bit before moving on. "My second idea is to get you to do one more Radio Broadcast. Now I know you're retired from that, but wouldn't that be just a wonderful way to get your name out there during the election 'Cooper Cope, Board of Governers Candidate comes back for one more show.' Think about that. I haven't quite worked out the whole thing, but I liked how it sounded in my head." That was a bit of his own want though, cause he always enjoyed Cooper's Radio Show and would give anything to hear the man one more time.

| ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf Got his note? YEAH he got his note. He could still feel the spot if made impact. Raising a hand to his head, he gently massaged the SPOT with one of his thick fingers... not that it did any good. He couldn't help but man-giggle as Warfield explained how FUN it had been setting up, such an ODD man.
Nodding, Cooper put on his SERIOUS face, and attempted to absorb every ounce of intel he was receiving. Though, instinctively, he raised his arms and pressed a finger each at Sherman Clark and Carter Phillips. They were good tooo!!!! ... so did this put him at the bottom of the pack? Whoopssss.
He made a few mental notes, to be more aggressive, when it came to debates and discussion time, and really, it was something he'd given some thought to. Cooper's face split into a GRIIINN, at the mention of broadcasting again. He did miss it. And the occasional guest appearance just wasn't enough to soothe his desire to run a show again. "Sounds like a brilliant plan!" And THAT, was the truth.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Henrietta J. Han Slytherin Fourth Year Gryffindor | After having paid and gotten a key for the room she was going to occupy for a couple of weeks, she headed upstairs to the location the bar tender had told her to go.
Maybe she should have packed light? Maria had quite a struggle getting there, luckily the 24 year old was in good shape. "Room 2-2..." Maria looked around "2-2" she kept repeating to herself. "If I get lost, that's it I'm quitting life." she looked around for this room "Oh great now I'm talking to myself, I've turned into my mother!" Maria always spoke what was on her, literally. "Four years of college and I can't find a simple room. Maybe I should have asked for a map?" She thought out loud, but that wasn't going to be necessary. "Oh! 2-2" Maria pointed to the room, that was assigned to her.
Parking all of her pink luggage next to her she inserted the key into the knob and opened the door "Wow, this place...wow, really yeah." she was surprised at the view she had. Even if she didn't like it, she had no other choice until Maria finds a more permanent place to live in since the Baltimore native, didn't think of purchasing a home before moving to England. Typical Maria.
Maria crammed all of her luggage inside the room, at once and began snooping around. She had a habit of doing so, whenever she was in a new unfamiliar location. |
