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

"If you haven't noticed my dear brother, that thing downstairs is our store. So, of course I've been busy." He pulled off the long 'Dumbledore' looking beard, and tucked it safely away. He took the plate from Ginny, even though he had just eaten, and helped himself to bit of everything. He totally let what Ginny said slide past him, but re-running what she said through his head made him spew his water all over the table. He stared at her for a second. "We're?" He said."WE'RE moving in?..Not that I don't love each and everyone of you dearly, but you lot are moving in?...and why on earth would you leave home Gin? I know you look up to big brothers Gred and Forge, but you should be at home..right?" He looked at the disappointed look on Ginny's face and added, " I don't know, I'm not good with all this family smamily stuff. Of course you are moving in." He sat back in his chair, still deep in thought, but not wanting the others to see him actually being concerned he quickly added. "Oh and Gin about the job, don't forget that Dobby was here first and he does have seniority." He took another big swig of water and winked at her.

Poirot · 07-06-2004, 06:08 AM

Ron exited from the shop, holding a bag half-full of medical supplies. The newspaper, Daily Prophet, which he had purchased earlier, was clinched between his armpits. His burnt hand was itching badly. He used his other hand to pat it, causing his bag and paper to fall. Strange thing was that the newspaper opened on the Ads. There was a big ad. It said:

"New opened shop in Diagon Alley
Cal DiMe Shoppe
Help needed; 18 to 25 y/o
Must know (how to use) about medicinal Herbs and Equipments
Experience: Not Necessary
Must obtain passing scores from his/her NEWT’s and OWL’s"

Poirot · 07-06-2004, 06:13 AM

Picking up the items he bought and reading the paper at the same time, he produced a big grin. “It’s perfect,” he mumbled. “Harry and Hermione didn’t know that I also loved Herbology.” He stood up straight. “But where can I find this store?”

He looked back to see what was the name of the shop he just went into. ‘Cal DiMe Shoppe.’ The sign was pretty old made with metal and… wood. The letters was touched with gold and bronze paint. His eyes lurked around the shop.

“Of course!” he exclaimed, reaching for the door. “Must apply before somebody does.”

Taking Back Kirstie · 07-06-2004, 09:13 AM

Elizabeth sighed gently and sat down at the dining table across from Harry. She concentrated on her food, eating in big bites to attempt to replace the uneasy feeling in her stomach with food.

"mmmm, this is delicious Mrs Weasley" she said in between mouthfuls.

Biochemkris · 07-06-2004, 02:00 PM

Luna sat at the table, listening to and watching he others as she pecked at her meal. Fred had come in with a mildly amusing moustache which had begun changing every few minutes into a different style of facial hair. As usual, she was, for th emost part, ignored but, she didn't mind so much. Lately, her mind had become preoccupied with thoughts about her first job out of Hogwarts. She had been awfully surprised to have gotten it seeing as how her father wasn't exactly on the Ministry's good side; not that he was on their bad side, it was jsut that they never seemed to see eye to eye.

BG · 07-06-2004, 11:05 PM

Harry nodded in agreement with what Elizabeth said, but refused to look her in the eye. He felt horrible, telling another woman he loved her and letting her kiss him, and actually kissing back, however, he wasn't sorry that he had done what he had. He continued to eat silently. "I guess Ron's going to be late, then?"

Hermione wacthed Harry with a close eye, he was avoiding Elizabeth's stare. Her mind went back to the cunning plan George had told her about. She grinned as she watched Harry.

Cassirin · 07-07-2004, 01:23 AM

George smiled at Fred's gentle teasing of their sister, then was reminded of why she was living in that flat in the first place. Time to get his brilliant twin in on the fun. "Fred?" he said, drawing Fred's attention back to himself. "A word please?" He crossed the room, opened the door, and crossed the landing into his own flat.

"What I wouldn't give for a pair of Extendable Ears right about now," Ginny lauged and continued trying to balance her plate on her knees. "Which reminds me... we really ought to think about putting an Imperturbable Charm on our door, so we don't have the Peeping Twins trying to listen in on every conversation we have." She turned to Neville, who was not being entirely successful in eating and balancing. "So, Nev... what do you think of the flat?"

"Thank you, Elizabeth dear," Molly said kindly, not missing the strain between herself and Harry. Was that what all his questions had been about earlier? Were they fighting over something? "Now, love, I've been meaning to ask you. When is your family arriving for the wedding? Are they planning on staying here or elsewhere?"

Mad Eye Touz · 07-07-2004, 03:03 AM

"Ok. But only one? Are you ill?" He stood up rather abruptly and ran to put a hand on his brothers forehead in a very mock Miss Weasley way. He followed his brother to the door, then turned and bowed to the others and shut the door behind him. Upon arriving in his own flat he asked, " And what would be on my all too good looking brothers mind this lovely summer night?"

Cassirin · 07-07-2004, 03:29 AM

"Mostly Ginny," George said earnestly. "Did you know that Harry didn't even tell her he was getting married until yesterday when he went to pick her up at King's Cross?" He shook his head. "Its no wonder she's run away from all that lot and come to her very responsible and loving older brothers. I have this theory, though, dear brother... and I know you want to hear it. You should see the way Harry looks at our Ginny. Like he wants to swallow her whole or burn her skin off or something equally disgusting, but charming. So... he loves her. And you and I, with the help of Luna and Hermione, are going to get them together... or at least to a point where they can figure out if they should be together."

He paused and smiled evilly. "But in the meantime, Gred. Want to torture Harry for messing with our sister?"

Sir_Spots · 07-07-2004, 03:38 AM

Neville put his fork down, almost tipping his whole plate into his lap. "oh, it's nice," he said, "can I look around" he asked trying to take advantage of the twins being out of the room.

Cassirin · 07-07-2004, 03:50 AM

"By all means," Ginny deftly caught Neville's plate and set it on the counter. "That bedroom next to the bathroom would be yours. We need to get the furniture, but thanks to my mum, the kitchen is generously stocked." She watched him wander off, crossing her fingers. Neville was a nice chap, and he wouldn't be obnoxious or messy or otherwise annoying.

Sir_Spots · 07-07-2004, 04:02 AM

Neville went over to sit on the bed. He smiled thinking about how he could put some plants in there to brighten things a bit. "Can I bring my books in here," pointing to an area where a large bookcase would fit.

BG · 07-07-2004, 04:02 AM

Everyone who was eatin at the Burrow had finished and Harry started clearing everyone's plates and washing them in the sink.

Hermione took this chance to ask him about his behavior. She pretended to go over to help him wash dishes. "Harry, what is going on? Why are you being so... distant... with Elizabeth?" She asked, with a harsh tone in her voice.

"Distant? Me? I don't think so," He said firmly, setting a sponge to start scrubbing the dishes. He was just going to cover it up and lie. Yes, that would have to work.

Mad Eye Touz · 07-07-2004, 04:06 AM

"So let me get this straight," he said as he started to pace. "Harry didn't tell our little sis, someone that all but bows down and worships him, about his wedding hoopla." He paused from his pacing while speaking then continued to pace. "And now you have the idea that Harry is actually smitten with our little Gin's. " He shook his head. "You're right. This situation calls for immediate intervention by one..well by two Gred and Forge Weaselbys. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. " He said in a exasperated tone.

Cassirin · 07-07-2004, 04:13 AM

Ginny squealed and jumped up and down. "Does that mean you'll stay?" she nearly shouted at him and he looked quite frightened. "I promise you," she said solemnly, her eyes twinkling. "I am quite sane and normal. You're very safe with me." She jumped and squealed again.

George smiled. "I knew you'd see it my way. Now, how shall we go about this? I want to make him as uncomfortable as possible, especially considering that he's probably made Ginny cry at least once. I don't want anyone to make her cry, unless she's testing out one of our products, of course."

Biochemkris · 07-07-2004, 04:20 AM

Luna smiled as Neville had already begun planning the decorating and Ginny squealed in delight at his acceptance of their proposition. But, she wondered what Fred and George were up to. Probably discussing the Ginny/Harry situation. She got up under the guise of putting her dirty dish in the sink but, took a detour out into the hallway to try and see if she could hear anything.

Poirot · 07-07-2004, 04:39 AM

Ron used Apparation to go home. He would like to tell this good news to everybody in the Burrow. With a loud crack, he left Diagon Alley and came face to face with the back door of the Burrow. He opened it and saw Hermione talking to Harry while washing the dishes.

He crept behind him and silently pulled a chair. He sat down, putting his things down on the table. He watched them closely.

Mad Eye Touz · 07-07-2004, 04:39 AM

"Right. We can make her cry. We have blood rights, but he..no no no." Fred took a seat in the large squishy chair, and crossed his legs. He put the tips of his fingers together. "Ok, so are we going with the threatening approach or the guilt trip? I'm up for either." He said quite plainly.

Cassirin · 07-07-2004, 04:44 AM

"Why not both? He feels like I'm on his side, so you can be all threatening and wanting to peel his skin off and such, and I'll just pour on the sympathy and make him feel guilty for hurting poor defenseless Gin."

He laughed. "As if there's anything defenseless about her. We have to be careful, though. We don't want to scare him off completely."

Sir_Spots · 07-07-2004, 05:09 AM

Neville jumped at the sound of Ginny's squeal. "ah....yes I think I would like that," he responded and smiled, " but I won't be done with my lease for a few more weeks, is that okay?"

Mad Eye Touz · 07-07-2004, 06:04 AM

"And you call me the witty one? You are the definition of brilliance. And it's only right that I play the tough threatening one, it suits me better. We all know you are a bit of a sissy. Sooo, we ride tomorrow to pay Potter a visit. I always knew I was a direct descendant of cupid. But if this backfires, it was all Percy's idea." Fred pulled out his latest scheme, the facial hair, and tossed it to George, then removed his comical hat to ruffle his shabby hair.

BG · 07-07-2004, 10:21 PM

Harry turned around slowly to Ron, who was awkwardly sitting in a chair right behind them. "Oh, so you finally made it home?"

Hermione sighed and wiped her hands on a dish towel before leaving the room and thinking about the strange way Harry was acting. George couldn't have already started this little plan of his, could he? No, of course not, because he would have told Hermione. He was being distant with Elizabeth and was denying it. Hermione would have to find out what was going on, for the sake of the plan.

Cassirin · 07-07-2004, 11:57 PM

"Well," Ginny said with some disappointment. "I suppose that's alright. Did you sign something? Are you sure you really have to stay for a few weeks?" She wanted to get settled in as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow?" George repeated, studying the mustache before affixing it firmly to his upper lip. It immediately morphed into mutton chops. "You have some sort of pressing engagement? Because I'm ready to go create a little chaos in the life of one Harry Potter tonight!" As he spoke, the mutton chops changed into walrus-like mustache. "This is kind of brilliant, Gred. What are we going to call it?"

Sir_Spots · 07-08-2004, 03:00 AM

"Well I guess I can talk to Tom, the innkeeper and see, there are usually enough visitors that he may be able to find someone else looking for a temporary place to stay," then he looked towards the door that Fred and George had walked through, "so you're working with them huh.....doesn't Dobby work for them too?"

Sir_Spots · 07-08-2004, 03:36 AM

Mr. Weasley climb back through teh door of the Burrow, he placed his patched briefcase on the easy chair near the door, it fell into the well-worn low spot in the center of the seat. He turned at the click that occured on the clock on the kitchen wall that indicated he had arrived home. He noticed that Ginny's face was placed in Diagon Alley next to Fred and George's faces. He partly frowned, but felt a bit comforted knowing that they were probably in the same room. He turned around smacking his lips, smelling the leftover scents of a dinner long ended, he serched for whatever Molly might have left him.
