After Ginny finishes her final year at Hogwarts, she's stunned to learn that Harry, who's been out of school a year, is engaged. Not wanting to return to the Burrow, which will be full of wedding planning and activity, Ginny escapes to Diagon Alley for a bit of independent living. The twins kindly take Ginny in and offer her a job, and she drags Neville and Luna along as flatmates. Who knows what will happen now that they are living independently?

This is a VERY loose storyline so far, but we want to have the chance to explore these characters as rising adults. I have all of the main characters filled at this point. If you are interested, go ahead and post your character idea. To be honest, I'd prefer HP characters (but not necesarily HRH) rather than made-ups... although a quality made-up is always welcome. If I don't feel your character will add to the story, I probably won't say yes. Also, we're quite serious about RPing, so if you aren't on at night EST, CST, or you will only post very sporadically, don't bother. This is advanced RPing, so YES, your posts need to be longer and more detailed and we DO care about your spelling and grammar.

Ginny - Cassirin
Neville - Spots
Luna - Biochemkris
Fred - tylert_28
George - Cassirin
Ron - Poirot
Hermione - Lumos299
Harry - Lumos299
Elizabeth - Kirstie McGonagall
Guinevere - Jennifer_w
Dobby- Spots

George waited for Tara to disapparate before he himself followed. He appeared a few feet from the others, and he took the opportunity to glance around before turning to the group. "I think we should lay low for a few minutes before moving on. Who knows if they heard us apparate in?" He stood silently, staring at the darkness around the mausoleum.

The journey to the graveyard had revived Tara a bit, and she waited impatiently for George's cautious perusal before making an impatient gesture. "We're wasting time. Let's split up and go at it from two different angles. Wands out. Be alert, but let's GO."

Bella stepped away from Snape and took a calming breath. "Don't waste your petty excuses on me. I broke better wizards than you and enjoyed it. If you think there's too much information, why don't you start at the beginning and keep on until you get to the end. I'm sure MY Master will be happy to sort out what is pertinent."

Biochemkris · 04-24-2005, 02:14 AM

"I'm not certain I can recall everything from the very beginning," he sneered. "It was a long a time ago, after all. Besides, what good will it do to know what I told before his loss of powers and regaining them?"

"I agree with both of you," Tonks said. "We should be cautious, Professor but, we will not waste time just waiting around here. Two of us will go at it from one side and two from the other. We go slowly and don't take any chances. We'll be no good to Professor Snape if we get caught."

Cassirin · 04-24-2005, 02:47 AM

Bella approached Snape quickly and kicked him in the side before he had time to react. She felt something give beneath her foot and kicked again. "The things you told him before may prove that you did more than being a traitor. You may have been fundamental in his downfall. We had many set backs in those months. Dumbledore and his people were everywhere, into everything." She shook her head. "You'll die slowly. Regardless of what you tell us, you'll die as slowly as I can make you die."

Cassirin · 04-24-2005, 02:54 AM

George was satisfied. There was no sign of movement anywhere in the graveyard, and he felt they'd waited long enough. "Fair enough. Tonks, you come with me. Fred, you stay with the professor. If anything goes awry, shoot up red sparks, but only if it is an emergency. We don't want to break cover. We all want to enter the mausoleum together."

Biochemkris · 04-24-2005, 03:02 AM

Snape curled up in spite of himself as she kicked him. He felt one of his ribs crack on the first kick and break on the second one. Luckily, he didn't think it had punctured anything, though it was extremely painful. "I kept Dumbledore apprised of our progress in finding the whereabouts of the Potters. I fed false information to the Dark Lord to stall us from getting to them before they had time to move again," Snape said, not out of agony for he had suffered worse than this before in his life but, out of pride in what he had managed, even at such a young age.

Biochemkris · 04-24-2005, 03:06 AM

"Alright," Tonks reluctantly agreed. She would have felt more comfortable going with the Professor to prevent her from doing anything rash but, perhaps she was merely selling Fred and the Professor short. She moved closer to George and looked up at him. He was no longer the goofy jokester. He was very serious and more mature, somehow. It stirred something within her but, now was not the time nor the place.

Cassirin · 04-24-2005, 03:16 AM

"You're a fool, Snape, and I never thought I'd have occasion to pity you as I do now." Bella may have said the words, but there was nothing resembling pity on her face. She knelt and traced her wand along the contour of his face before sending a blasting charm into him. At this range and with no where for his body to go, it merely pounded him against the floor. Not as satisfying as a good Crucio, but certainly more creative. "You could have lived forever at the side of the most powerful wizard of all time."

George watched Sinistra and Fred begin to move off. It hurt him not to go with his twin, but the pairings felt right to him. Besides, he couldn't stand that someone else might have to watch Tonks' back and do a bad job of it. He started to move in the other direction before turning and tugging on a lock of her short hair. "I'll be very put out if anything happens to you, Tonks. Don't be rash. That's for Weasleys."

Biochemkris · 04-24-2005, 03:29 AM

He was expecting a Crucio and was shocked when he felt her blasting charm. It was as if his body were trying to blast itself through the stone floor and it was all he could do to prevent himself from blacking out from the force of it. Snape closed his eyes as his vision swam, small dots floating even behind his eyelids. "How can you be so certain you've chosen the winning side?" he asked, slowly opening his eyes again.

Tonks flashed George a smile before giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "It's not me I'm worried about. I'm well trained and have been through this sort of thing before. It's that Weasley rashness and the rashness of those whose loved ones are in danger that worries me," she said, casting a glance in Fred and the Professor's direction.

Cassirin · 04-24-2005, 03:57 AM

Bella stood and twirled her wand between her fingers. "Who has the wand, Severus? Which of us has all the power, like usual, and which of us is going to die for resisting inevitability? Dumbledore and his pathetic child army has made NO progress in this war. They've won no battles. They will all die, and I will enjoy every death. And then I'll take my place as a loyal supporter of the Dark Lord. And you will be dead."

"Do you regret it then? Want to keep Fred from dying? Or hold back Sinistra? You can' protect us all, Tonks... although I know you'd like to try. I'd hate to think your worrying about the rest of us keeps you from getting the job done." He gestured to let her know she was free to switch with one of the others before turning back to the mausoleum.

Biochemkris · 04-24-2005, 04:07 AM

"So I will be," he said, debating whether or not to try and sit up. She had the power and sitting up would not change the fact that he was vulnerable and had no way out of this situation but, he might not feel quite so vulnerable if he were not laying on the floor. Snape sat up, using the wall for leverage, his uninjured arm pushing him up from the floor. "Since you will be conquering this child army and killing me slowly regardless of what information I give to you, I don't see any reason why I should bother humoring you with any more tidbits."

Tonks thought about it and lowered her head. "No, it's fine. If I was over there, I'd just be more worried about you," she said, shaking her head before lifting her chin. "Okay, I'm ready. You are all part of my team and can take care of yourselves. I can remember that."

Cassirin · 04-24-2005, 04:18 AM

"That is one request I"m willing to accomodate." Bella turned to look at the Dark Lord, her expression almost hopeful. If they had extracted all they could, then perhaps he would let her kill Snape in earnest. She didn't dare hurt him too badly until then, but everything was fair play once she had permission.

George looked around before taking her hand and giving it a squeeze. He'd have liked to take the time to kiss her properly, but that would be too much of a distraction. Dropping her hand, George moved ahead, his wand pointed in the direction of the mausoleum. The night was quiet, and he was afraid their approach would be heard.

Biochemkris · 04-24-2005, 04:34 AM

His eyes focused on the Dark Lord, watching his expression as Bella turned her back on him to look upon her master. The Dark Lord uncrossed his arms and placed them on the arms of the chair he was sitting in. He inclined his head with a look of great anticipation in his eyes. Snape wondered how she would proceed with this new freedom to do as she wished, completely unrestrained.

Tonks muttered a spell under her breath, pointing her wand at George's feet. His footsteps became muted and she performed the same spell upon her own feet. It was a little trick she had picked up during her "stealth" classes and one that had helped her squeak by that course. As they approached the mausoleum, she still could not see any Death Eaters. Had they come to the wrong place? Were they too late?

Mad Eye Touz · 04-25-2005, 12:16 AM

"Eh...," Fred said, not so sure about these pairings. Weasley's stuck together through it all.. and here they were, going separate ways. But, he didn't argue and led the way toward the small stone building just ahead. "Professor..," Fred paused, trying to choose his words wisely and tastefully,".. I've seen some pretty unnerving things in that building. I would completely understand if you wished to stay outside.. and guard." He really meant something like, "In case Snape was dead and laying on the floor bleeding in an awkward, and unhumanly position that would scar her forever.

Cassirin · 04-25-2005, 12:24 AM

Tara shook her head violently. Fred was trying to protect her, and while she appreciated the thought, it just wouldn't do. "I'm part of this team, Fred, and I intend to pull my weight. Now, I don't see anyone out here. What say we get closer while we wait for those two slowpokes to get here?"

George shook his head and looked at the desolate graveyard. "I don't understand what's going on here. This has to be the place they were talking about, but they didn't leave any guards or anything. Surely they aren't cocky enough to believe no one would come after Snape." He paused at a noise but realized he had only kicked a pebble against a tombstone.

Biochemkris · 04-25-2005, 12:32 AM

Tonks almost jumped when George sent the pebble into the tombstone. She grabbed his arm and squeezed, her eyes darting around. But, there was no one around and they arrived at the door to the mausoleum without incident. Tara and Fred had arrived just before them. Tonks lay an ear on the door. She didn't hear anything but, that didn't mean they hadn't spelled the building to prevent sounds from escaping. She gestured the others in close before whispering, "We dont' know how many are in there, if any at all and there's no way to find out without going in...." she said, ominously, unsure how to proceed. She was never the commander of these types of operations and really didn't feel up to this part of the job. Maybe one of the others had an idea. Surely the Weasley twins were full of them.

Mad Eye Touz · 04-25-2005, 12:36 AM

"I got it, I got it. Don't worry." Fred raised his hands up. "I'll go around back to the other door, and let myself in.. either by the door, or some other way. When you hear me screaming and running for my like a little girl, you guys bust in through this way.. take Snape.. and I'll be right back behind you." Fred did the facial expression Wood used to give them when he was done with a Quidditch pep talk, and hurried off around the corner..

Cassirin · 04-25-2005, 12:47 AM

George watched Fred duck around the corner before he fished about in his pocket. "I have some Extendable Ears. If they didn't think to set guards out here, maybe they don't have an Imperturbable Charm on the door either." He glanced around for approval.

Bella turned back to Snape with a look of pure rapture on her face. "This is going to hurt you a lot more than it'll hurt me. It won't hurt me at all." She waved her wand and the wall behind him crumbled a bit. "I wonder what that would do to your sensitive organs." She looked pensive before flicking her wrist at him.

Tara had been watching George closely when a loud crash came from inside. "I heard that. There's someone in there."

Biochemkris · 04-25-2005, 12:59 AM

He grunted as a few larger pieces of rubble shook loose from the partially crumbled wall and landed on his head or injured body parts. But, that was nothing compared to the seering pain he felt after he caught sight of the deft flick of Bella's dainty wrist. It never ceased to amaze him how powerful and cruel spells could issue forth from such a beautiful and dainty woman. It had thrilled him when he had been younger and part of him was still attracter to her deadly, if waning, beauty. It wasn't a cruciatus but, it was bad. He felt as if someone had reached inside of his and had begun squeezing his insides with thier hands. He suspected that Bella would like nothing better than to do just that. Perhaps she would get to that eventually, after all, this was just the begining... A small scream escape his lips despite his best efforts to control it.

Tonks opened her mouth as Fred hurried away. "Does he know there's only one way into a mausoleum?" she asked, just as they heard a loud crash. "I don't think we have much time..."

Mad Eye Touz · 04-25-2005, 03:24 AM

"WHo ever heard of only one entrance?" Fred said, makig the final turn that returned him back to the others. Geez, talk about a muggle fire hazard." Fred shook his head, and quit the wise cracks.. "So.. I guess we just bust in..this way.." Fred took a deep breath, and let it out. "Alright. I'm pumped. Just say when."

Cassirin · 04-25-2005, 03:41 AM

George pulled the Extendable Ears from under the door and looked at the others. "We have to hurry. It doesn't sound good, but Snape is still alive. I don't know how many are in there, but it almost sounds like some sort of show..." He was cut off by Tara pushing past him.

"Look, I know what we're here for, and I know that we have to be safe. But Voldemort is over confident. He's always been. It was the reason for his first downfall, and its going to be the reason we save Snape tonight. He didn't put up any guards or wards. The most he's probably got in there right now are himself, Lestrange, and whoever helped with the grab. Let's go." Without waiting for a response, Tara tried the door and swung it open when it proved unlocked.

Mad Eye Touz · 04-25-2005, 12:51 PM

Fred lied. He wasn't ready. And when the door swung open.. it showed as he stood there, mouth open, eyes wide. But.. he had to get going. He and George were the men of this operation, the brave ones, the ones for possible sacrifice.. So, with his wand pulled, Fred ran inside in no one's particular direction and sent every last spell he had ever learned. Still running, he sent stunning spells, levitating spells, shirinking spells, boil hexes, Boogey charms, etc, etc.

Biochemkris · 04-25-2005, 02:48 PM

ooc: tee hee... I'm sorry but, I just couldn't help myself with this post.

Bella was clearly enjoying herself at his expense and he began to wonder if anyone would be coming to his rescue and if they'd be in time to save him before he was either dead or was so far gone he'd prefer to die. The thought had barely crossed his mind when he heard the door swing open. He turned his head and saw one of the Weasley twins burst through, casting curses without even looking. Snape was caught by a levitating spell and then, a stunner which sent him crashing into the weakened wall, causing more debris to come falling down upon him. "Weasley!" he growled, though he was pleased to see that some of the debris had fallen on Bella.

Cassirin · 04-25-2005, 09:20 PM

Bella didn't have enough time to react to the boy who came through the door first. He hit her with some hex that made boils rise along her non-wand arm, but that wasn't enough to cause her to stop. Bella raised her wand to stop the red-head in his tracks, when rubble hit her, causing her to drop her wand. She leapt after it when she was hit by Incarcerous from the door.

Tara stood in the door right behind Fred, and she could see Snape lying on the floor over the man's shoulder. She set her jaw and shot a spell at Lestrange, enjoying the satisfaction she felt as the other woman fell. Darting to the side to allow the others in, Tara looked for others in the room. What fools... why weren't there more people around?

Mad Eye Touz · 04-25-2005, 09:29 PM

Fred was out of curses, and out of places to run. He knew he was harder to hit as long as he was moving, so he turned in a cirlce and ran back. But.. he cuaght sight of Bella before the ropes got her from the door. So.. with a run and leap, he ran and leapt right on top of her. He hoped.. that the crack her heard was something painful and not just floor as his large body came crashing on top of her with all his weight.

Biochemkris · 04-28-2005, 02:12 AM

Voldemort stood as his show was interrupted. He cast a stunning charm and banished the rash red-head from on top of his Bella. Then, he glanced at the door and saw three more enter the mausoleum. He smiled, evily. "Come to see the entertainment, have you?" he asked in a high, cruel voice.

Tonks stopped short at the sound of Voldemort's voice. While she had been fighting against him for a few years now, she had never once actually been in his presence. It was foolish of her not to have thought about the fact that he'd be here. She was tense for a moment before her auror training took over and she allowed instinct and training to override any fear and panic she felt. Her wand was at the ready...
