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

Harry was fully expecting her to say 'then I want you to kiss me.' But, she didn't and it made Harry grin and remember why he loved her so much. He stood up and grabbed the dishes, taking them to the sink. "So you ask me to tell you I love you, ask me to do the dishes, and then tease me by getting extremely close to me...?" He grinned as he started to scrub the dishes, "I love you."

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 12:44 AM

Luna looked up into the eyes of Professor Snape, straightened her posture, which was rather straight to begin with, and lifted her chin. She'd never been one to be completely cowed by the dark potions master, though she wasn't stupid enough not to respect and even fear him. "I'm sorry, sir," she said, moving to step around him and continue on her way.

Snape took a step to the side, turning so that he could watch her as she walked down the corridor. He wanted to give her a head start so that he wouldn't risk bumping into her again. Snape quickly scanned the corridor, out of habit, and noticed one astronomy professor

Poirot · 07-15-2004, 01:36 AM

Ron widened his eyes and looked at his watch. Then, he heard someone call his name so he stood up and told Elizabeth, "I'll go, okay. See ya." He rushed across the road and entered the shop.

He smiled at Seamus who was on the counter and left towards the storage room.

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 03:26 AM

Ginny flicked soap suds at him. "That's not very romantic, Mr. Potter. You are up to your elbows in soap and you're trying to be so..." She grinned at him. "I love you too." It was the first time she had told him, even though she suspected he had known it all along.

Tara watched Snape quietly for a few moments after he had spotted her down the hallway. She shook herself from the careful cataloging she had been doing in her mind and approached him quietly. "Hello, Professor," she stood before him, unabashedly craning her neck to look right up into his rather grouchy face. "Is it fun?" she asked off-handedly.

BG · 07-15-2004, 03:41 AM

Harry playfully flicked some soap back towards Ginny. "I'm glad to hear that. Because you know, if you didn't, it would just break my heart, and there would be no more sparkle in my green eyes that are... what was it? Oh, as green as a fresh pickeled toad," He said, smiling and turning to face her, partially leaning on the sink. He always enjoyed brining up Hogwarts memories, and this time seemed especially perfect.

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 03:45 AM

Though it didn't show at all, even in his eyes, the feature which always betrayed a person's feelings, Snape was surprised when Professor Sinistra walked over and craned her neck to look directly up at him. "Is what fun?" he sneered, only slightly annoyed that he was being delayed since he wasn't on any particular schedule.

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 03:54 AM

Ginny blushed a deep pink and turned back to the sponge she was supervising. "You'll never be able to prove that was from me," she said finally, looking at him a bit defiantly. "And even if it was, I write much better poetry now than I would have when I was 11. And I'll have you know that fresh pickled toads are very romantic, as well as..." She wound up to defend her youthful foolishness.

"Oh," Tara blinked at him. "That's a very impressive sneer. Do you practice that or were you born being able to sneer? I was wondering if its fun to scare people like that. Is that why you do it? I don't personally see the enticement in frightening people, but I also don't particularly like flying on a broom, so there you go. To each his own."

BG · 07-15-2004, 04:10 AM

"Oh no... I found it very romantic, don't get me wrong..." Harry said, finding himself attracted to Ginny's getting defensive and upset about this. He finished cleaning their small amount of dishes and took to drying them with his wand and wondered what they would do now that they were finished eating.

Sir_Spots · 07-15-2004, 04:17 AM

Neville was excited about the prospect of moving into the flat with the girls. He didn't mind being on his own, but with his Gran gone, he thought he wanted some privacy, as it turned out, he was wrong.

He was going through the daily deliveries and was suprised to find a new shipment of smelly stingers, a sort of catus type plant that wards off poltergiests. "Now what would Mrs. Arbor want with so many of these," he thought to himself.

He finished up logging the remaining shipment in the ledger and stacked them in the small room in the celler at the back of the shop. He was feeling a bit hungry and thought he might take some time to get some shopping down so he went to tell Mrs. Arbor that he'd be back in one hour and he left to head down the coblestone streets of Diagon Alley.

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 04:20 AM

He wasn't particularly fond of being mocked and he'd had plenty of conversations similar enough to this one with Potter and Black on numerous occassions. So, it certainly wasn't striking up any happy memories. Gathering some lose folds of his robes and crossing his arms over his chest, Snape coninued to sneer down at the witch. "Did you want something in particular?" he asked, wondering what had possessed her to come up to him in the first place.

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 04:31 AM

As the last of the dishes flew into the cupboard, Ginny turned to Harry. "What do you want to do now? Think of something, or I'll have to go back down and work in the shop!" She smiled impishly at him. "We could always brainstorm all the terrible ways you'll behave to make Elizabeth want to break it off with you."

"I already told you what I wanted," Tara said, trying not to display her impatience. "Really, I would assume a man in your position to be very intelligent, but this lack of short term memory belies that belief." She was bored with him now. How a stupid man made it into the position he held was beyond her, but she had no time to trifle with mediocrity. "If you'll excuse me, Professor," she made ready to go.

BG · 07-15-2004, 04:42 AM

Harry considered her. "Or..." He said with a mischevious glint in his eye, but then quickly pushed his silly idea out of his head. "Okay, coming up with ways to get Elizabeth to hate me sounds brilliant," He said half-heartedly. Procrastinating was always one of Harry's talents, and this situation was certainly not an exception.

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 04:45 AM

"Professor," he said, bowing his head curtly before sweeping away down the corridor.

What was with that woman? How dare she question his intelligence? Snape was in a silent fury as he arrived at the door he was to enter. He took a moment to collect himself before turning the doorknob and entering. The door shut behind him with a click.

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 05:03 AM

Ginny ignored the speculative gleam in Harry's eye. As much as she cared for him, she did realize he was a 19-year-old. "Well, there are two ways to go about it, I suppose. One, you can make yourself totally detestable in her eyes. Or two, you can help her to fall in love with someone else. I don't know if this is such a good idea, Harry. You don't want to mess with her life in addition to breaking her heart."

Tara watched him storm off with his cape billowing behind him like a tidal wave about to crash down on the next unsuspecting victim. Gazing at the now empty corridor through now half-lowered lashes, she thought only briefly about the man she had just spoken with, then turned to return to the lift.

"Professor Sinistra?" a tentative voice called to her, and she found the office door open and Kingsley's expert, a Mr. Orlev, stood there holding her parchment in fingers to tight they made her cringe. "I'm glad I caught you. If I could have a word with you about some of these figures...?"

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 05:09 AM

Snape emerged from his meeting in a better mood than when he had entered. His sneer was replaced by a satisfied smirk as he swet back down the corridors toward the stairs which would lead him to the lifts.

BG · 07-15-2004, 05:11 AM

"Okay... so..." Harry decided that he would really have to be unselfish to do this. He was going to have to deal with the fact that Elizabeth would probably hate him for eternity. "We are back to plan number one? Just straight out telling her?"

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 05:22 AM

"I don't know, Harry," Ginny said tiredly. For being in love with Ginny, Harry sure did spend a lot of time thinking about Elizabeth. "Its going to have to be your decision. This isn't exactly a "we" activity that I can come along for and make sure everyone has enough tea and cake. This is all yours to take care of. I'll just be here to hold you after its over."

Tara stood at the doors to the lift, tapping her foot. She had spent far more of her day at the Ministry than she had intended and she was yet to go to bed after her late night session the previous evening with Firenze. She found it was better for her to just stay up to do daytime work and sleep in the afternoon then to sleep first and try to do work after.

The sound of footfalls on the stairs caused Tara to glance over her shoulder. She turned back to the lift in disinterest. It was only Snape again, looking a bit pleased with himself.

BG · 07-15-2004, 05:29 AM

"I know, Gin, I know," Harry said, "But you were the one who suggested we talk about ways to get Liz to hate me... which lead to this conversation. And there are plenty other better things we could be doing."

He smiled and walked closer to her, "Hold me when it's over, huh?" He played it off like what she said didn't have much effect on him, but knowing she would always be there made him feel complete.

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 05:31 AM

As he came into view of the lifts, it took all of Snape's talents to keep the satisfied smirk from faltering at the sight of the insufferable witch awaiting the lift. He did not generally consider his colleagues to be insufferable but, this witch had managed to insult him twice in just a brief few minutes in what should have been a casual, friendly, chat. However, Snape wasn't an immature student so, he gave her a short bow in greeting before turning to face the lift, standing as if at attention in an army. It was probably out of habit from the hours of standing around in the presence of the Dark Lord.

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 05:54 AM

"Well, I gave you free reign in planning the morning's activities," Ginny said, letting him put his arms around her as she wrapped her own arms around his waist. "We don't have to talk about this right now. Just be honest with her, Harry, but do it soon. I don't want to be that girl who thinks she's with an engaged man for much longer. Alright, alright... let's move on. What's next on our agenda?"

The lift seemed to take forever to arrive, and finally Tara's nature overcame her stubborness. Turning to Snape, she took in the tight line of his mouth and the rigidness of his posture. "I'm sorry," she said, trying to be sure her voice was loud enough to be heard over the clattering of the lift. "I believe we got off on the wrong foot back there. My intention was not to insult or belittle you, but sometimes I let my curiousity get the better of my judgement. I assure you I meant no harm," she fell silent at his still-black expression.

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 06:08 AM

Snape sighed inwardly. Curiosity. He turned his head and rolled his eyes. She had irritated him in the name of curiosity. A stunt worthy of young Mr. Potter and his gang of Gryffindors. Though, he supposed it was a trait inherrant in Ravenclaw as well, he had thought Claws to show better judgement in where they directed their curiosity.

However, it did him no good to harbour a grudge over so silly a matter, especially after she had apologized. She at least admitted that she may have been wrong. "Apology accepted," he said, turning back to her and extending a pale hand, his long and slender fingers uncurling as he reached.

Cassirin · 07-15-2004, 06:20 AM

Tara stared at that hand for a moment, taking in the long, lovely fingers. Perfect for Potion making, she thought, considering all the dexterious motions needed. Probably also perfect for playing the harp or piano, two Muggle instruments she was particularly fond of. She could see those hands gently holding a telescope steady, or caressing the side of her face... Yes, she had definitely been staring at his hands too long.

Tara lifted her eyes to Snape's face as she slid her own small hand into his. Her face was a bit pink as she shook firmly, once, twice, then let go. "Thank you, Professor," she murmured and stepped into the waiting lift.

Biochemkris · 07-15-2004, 12:36 PM

Snape looked down at his outstretched hand and then, at the astronomy professor. She seemed to be contemplating whether or not to take it. He couldn't blame her, he supposed, there weren't many who would willingly touch him. But, she eventually did place her delicate hand in his, grasping firmly, she shook it twice before slipping it back to her side and entering the lift. Snape did the same, his dark eyes, drinking in her appearance. Why was she blushing?

He gave the barest of shakes of his head and settled in a back corner of the lift, still calculating the witch next to him. She looked tired. He supposed it was from a deviation in her nocturnal sleeping habits, though he never seemed to have a problem functioning for most hours in a given day, so long as he was afforded a few moments to nap. Perhaps he could offer her one of his potions.

BG · 07-15-2004, 04:48 PM

Harry's stomach gave a little lurch when he felt Ginny's arms around his waist. He moved his hand and started playing with a few strands of her hair which had fallen from her messy ponytail in her anger with her brothers. "I don't know... what were you thinking of?" He asked, regaining a bit of the mischevious look in his eys from earlier.

Taking Back Kirstie · 07-16-2004, 12:18 AM

Elizabeth greeted Ron as he sat with her at the table. then she saw one of his twin older brothers coming down the street towards them and felt a little self conscious. She hurredly straightened her skirt and sat up straight.

After hearing him speak, she replied "Yes. And you must be - George? Please, have a seat."

Elizabeth was a bit surprised when Ron suddenly jumped up and ran off, but she guessed it was because it was time to start work.

She turned to George and smiled "So, How's the business going?"
