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

Fred - tylert_28

It was almost completely dark as Snape emerged from the Dark Forest, extinguishing his wand tip light as he stood at the forests' edge. He looked up to see that the nearly full, yet not quite werewolf, moon was still covered with clouds. He took a deep breath, holding his left arm, which he was fairly certain had been broken, close to his body where he had suffered yet another injury. At least he had managed to stop the bleeding but, he'd need to get back to the school quickly in order to get himself bandaged up.

He slowly crept his way up to the castle, using the shadows to his advantage. As Snape ascended the steps, he wondered if he should head straight for the Hospital Wing or, try and bandage himself up in the dungeons as best he could and summon Madam Pomfrey down to him first thing in the morning. He pushed open the great oak doors and stepped back inside the castle.

Poirot · 08-04-2004, 05:59 AM

Ron raised his eyebrows and replied after some minutes passed, "If you want to go back to the Burrow, I'll accompany you." Drinking his last liters of juice, he stood up and added, "We should go then."

Cassirin · 08-04-2004, 06:00 AM

Tara noted a few more of the observations Firenze made, then rolled up her parchment. She wanted to go to her tower and compare his predictions to her star charts, as well as spend some time behind her telescope. Hopefully, she'd even be able to go to bed at a reasonable time and perhaps be up before noon. "Good evening, Firenze," she offered, not expecting a response as the centaur was raptly gazing at the smoke coming from his fire.

She slipped from the door and cut out across the foyer towards the staircase when the doors pushed open and someone stumbled through them. Tara was not really surprised to see Professor Snape coming in at this time of evening, but she WAS surprised to see him nearly fall while clutching his arm. "Professor," her soft voice barely broke the silence. "You're hurt?"

Biochemkris · 08-04-2004, 06:12 AM

Snape looked up, a bit startled, though not showing it. He was extrememly disturbed that he hadn't noticed Professor Sinistra lurking nearby. He decided not to risk heading up the Hospital Wing where he was more likely to bump into others along the way and just head straight back to his quarters.

Snape knew he could not pretend to be uninjured now that she had seen him nearly collapse walking in the door. But, how to explain what had happened... Best not to worry about that, he didn't owe her any explanaitions so, why should be worry about it in the first place? "Yes, I have sustained a few minor injuries," he sighed, making his way toward the stairs which led down to the Slytherin dungeons.

Fred woke up and Luna was there beside him. "What the..? Um..sure..go home."This just didn't look good...what was he doing in the grass asleep with Lovegood beside him? Then, like a slow motion movie went off in Fred's brain and he suddenly remembered where he was and why. He remembered Ethel, and Hermione, and then Hermione again, and then falling asleep...and that bird. "Wait..sorry, I didn't mean to be rude Luna darling. Give me a hand up and I'll walk you over the apparation point." Luna offered her hand to Fred, looking at him with her usual look of strangeness. Once on his feet, a splitting headache came down on him. "Whoa....I don't think I'll be having anything of Mort's again for a long time....come on, I need to get back to the shop and finish sleeping this off..."

Taking Back Kirstie · 08-04-2004, 08:38 AM

"yeah, i should get my things, before i go back home. I need to owl my parents too, tell them the weddings off - can i borrow Pig?"

Elizabeth finished off her firewhisky in one go, and stood to leave.

Biochemkris · 08-04-2004, 02:28 PM

Luna grabbed onto Fred's arm as he swayed a bit after getting up. She looked up at him, concerned. "We don't need an apparation point," she said, pointing down the street a bit. "Your shop is just over there a bit and besides, I wouldn't be apparating in your condition anyway."

That having been said, Luna began to head back to the shop, towing Fred along beside her. She wasn't letting go of his arm, either, for fear he'd pass out and go crashing down in the street. Of course, Luna wasn't entirely sure how her holding onto his arm was going to prevent that from happening, seeing as how Fred was quite a bit larger than her and she wasn't really all that strong.

BG · 08-04-2004, 04:07 PM

Harry smiled at Ginny, she was being quite playful tonight. "Well, that's good you didn't burn anything down, I'm sure Fred and George wouldn't have been to happy if you had." They approached the Leaky Cauldron, then went inside, taking a seat.

Hermione felt bad for leaving Fred there without seeing that he was okay to make it back to the shop alive. Of course there was Luna, but she was just as strange as Fred was when he was drunk. She had just reached her flat when she decided to go back to check if Fred was okay. She apparated back to Diagon Alley, passed Harry and Ginny, waving hi, and, after hading towards where she had left the two, found Fred being dragged down the street by Luna. She walked over to them, "Are you alright?" She asked Fred, "Is he okay?" She said to Luna, "Sorry I left so quickly, that was stupid."

Mad Eye Touz · 08-04-2004, 04:33 PM

Luna helped Fred down the street. He was no where as bad off as Luna thought he was-with the exception of a splitting headache, but he liked the attention, so he let her carry on. "Do you think it's possible to Apparate lying down? Care for a try?"he asked slyly, but she wouldn't let him lie down again. He held back a laugh, and proceeded down the street a little ways more. Then, to his great surprise, Hermione was back. Although, he did have to admit not really remembering her leaving. "Mione! Lovely to see you again...Oh...me? Well, I've been better...."he said gravely, but with a flicker of the corners of his mouth.

Biochemkris · 08-04-2004, 04:42 PM

Luna continued helping Fred down the street. "Hello Hermione," she said, as the older girl apparated in front of them. "Fred is fine; just needs to lie down. But, not here in the street; in his own bed."

She caught a flicker in Fred's eye as he told Hermione how he felt. "Why don't you take his other arm, Hermione. I think he could use the extra support," she said, with a wink.

Cassirin · 08-04-2004, 04:53 PM

Tara darted in front of him, not sure exactly why she was sticking her neck out like this. Generally, Tara was totally self-contained, but there was something in this situation that called out to her sense of concern. "Minor injuries, Professor? I think not. Your wand arm is broken, so I don't know how you think you're going to heal yourself. I'd be happy to help you towards the hospital wing."

George was frustrated that he had to unlock the door to his own store to get in, but it lessened when he realized that it was after 7 and Ginny had gone ahead and closed up. The store was remarkably clean and the till was full, so George's mood quickly picked up. "Ginny!" he called up the stairs. "Let me take you out to dinner." With no response, George took the stairs two at a time and found that Ginny's apartment was empty. His head dropped to his chest in defeat and he crossed the landing to his own flat. Alone.

Ginny bounced in her seat a bit, glancing at the menu. The waiter stopped by and the two placed their orders. Once he disappeared, Ginny placed her bouquet on the table and petted the roses fondly. "Did you have a good day? Get all your shopping done?" She had to bite her lip as she realized how domestic she sounded, but her attention was grabbed by a sight across the pub. "Is that Ron? Who's he with?" Ginny yelped as she realized it was Elizabeth and dragged the pad of her index finger across a thorn.

BG · 08-04-2004, 04:54 PM

"Oh," Hermione said worriedly as she took Fred's other arm. She looked up at him and saw that he was trying to suppress a smile, so she decided to play along. "Oh, I'm so sorry for leaving you here Fred, what ever can I do to make up for it?" She gave him a fake pleading look, hoping he wouldn't realize she was just faking, too.

Sir_Spots · 08-04-2004, 05:07 PM

"Miss Ginny's gone out with Harry Potah" said Dobby from the bottom of the staircase. Does Master George wants Dobby to make hims some coffee for his headache sir?" he asked, seeing the pain that George was in.

BG · 08-04-2004, 05:09 PM

Harry raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Ron with Elizabeth. "What are they doing?" He said, but then was distracted by Ginny's bleeding finger. "Ginny! Are you alright?" He asked, leaning over to look at her finger.

Mad Eye Touz · 08-04-2004, 05:09 PM

"Well," he said eyeing each girl, that was convieniantly enough close to each of sides, "I think I could probably use some water or something...But...but I just don't see how on earth I'm going to make it allthe way up the stairs all by myself. Do, you two lovely girls think you could escort poor ole Fred Weasley up to his flat?" Fred was really laying it on thick now and just for show added a little bit more weight to each of the girls shoulders.

Sir_Spots · 08-04-2004, 05:14 PM

Neville had been asleep for some time when he awoke to the sounds of voices in the stairway. He tried rubbed open his eyes and cracked open his door to hear Dobby talking to George in the hall. "George, is everything okay," he asked as he walked out into the dim light in his pajamas.

BG · 08-04-2004, 05:19 PM

Hermione rolled her eyes to herself, but still played along with Fred's little game. "Of course we'll help you, Fred, who could say no to you?" Hermione said, trying to hide her own smile. They had reached the twins' store and gone inside. Fred would really have to lessen the pressure if they were going to help him up the stairs.

Cassirin · 08-04-2004, 05:19 PM

George started at the sound of a voice, before he recognized it was Dobby. "Yeah, Dobby, I could use some coffee." He really didn't have too much of a headache, but he was needing some companionship. It was unusual for he and Fred to be apart, but George supposed that this was something he needed to get used to. They couldn't be roommates forever.

Neville appeared from out the door of Ginny's flat, and George grabbed him by the collar of his pajamas and dragged him into his own flat. "Longbottom, old boy!" he crowed. "Let me make you some dinner." George shoved the last two pieces of Fred's pie on plates and warmed them with his wand.

"I'm fine," Ginny stuck her finger in her mouth sheepishly. It was just a tiny scratch, but it was stupid of her to have forgotten about the thorns just because the roses were beautiful. "That was idiotic. I'll just..." she pointed her wand at her finger awkwardly.

BG · 08-04-2004, 05:30 PM

Once Ginny's finger was okay, Harry turned back to look at Ron and Elizabeth. They appeared to be leaving. Harry shrugged and told himself he would have to ask Ron about it later. After some small talk, their food came. "So, Ginny... what... what are we? I mean..." He was probably sounding stupid, "Where are we going?... Er... what do we have?" No, that wasn't right. He blushed and looked down at his plate.

Cassirin · 08-04-2004, 05:43 PM

Ginny was more than pleased to discover that Harry had the same questions she did, but she toyed with him at first. "I don't know where we're going Harry, but I was thinking ice cream would be nice. And as for what we have... I have a hamburger, and I'm not really sure what you have. Some sort of chicken maybe?"

She reached across the table with her uninjured hand and squeezed Harry's hand in return. "I don't want to rush you, Harry. I know you just got out of a really serious engagement, and honestly, its enough just to have you like this. Whenever you want more of me, you can have it. You get to choose the timeline. I've waited for you for 8 years. I can wait a bit longer."

Sir_Spots · 08-04-2004, 05:50 PM

Neville had only got within reach of George when he felt himself being dragged into George's flat and sat down. "Dinner, um well I ate already," he said hesitantly but upon realizing that George's request was more for compaionship than for sustainence, he stayed. He watched George heat up some pie with his wand and grabbing a fork to eat with asked, "where's Fred?"

Cassirin · 08-04-2004, 05:56 PM

George sank onto the couch and propped his feet up on the coffee table. He was still wearing his pajamas, and he stared at his legs for a moment before grinning widely at Neville. "Fred has become quite popular with the ladies. Last I saw him he was dragging Hermione willingly up the street, and... if I don't miss my guess, Luna is with him too. Hopefully they all resurface before work tomorrow. And you? How's the new job going?"

BG · 08-04-2004, 05:59 PM

Harry really enjoyed the feeling of Ginn'y hand in his. It was so small and delicate and soft. He moved his thumb slowly over the top of her hand. "That sounds quite reasonable," Harry said with more composure to his words now. He was glad she didn't react by asking what he meant or something of that nature.

Sir_Spots · 08-04-2004, 06:00 PM

"Fred's with the ladies," Neville responded with surprise, "but I thought you......oh nevermind. The job, oh it's going quite well," he answered, in fact we're looking for some help, you wouldn't know anyone who could use some extra work do you," he added.

Biochemkris · 08-04-2004, 06:07 PM

"Of course we'll help," Luna smiled as she and Hermione took on even more of Fred's weight.

It was a difficult time getting Fred up the stairs as he conveniently let himself drop a little so that Hermione and Luna both had to turn and wrap their arms around him to keep him from falling down the stairs. He certainly was a trusting fool. They finally made it to the door and Luna was completely out of breath. "So, there you are," she said, gesturing to the door with the hand that still held Fred's wrist.

"Thank you," Snape said. "But, I'd rather not bother Madam Pomfrey at this late hour. I'll call on her first thing in the morning."

He continued to carefully walk down the steps of the dungeon.
