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
George - Cassirin
Ron - Poirot
Hermione - Lumos299
Harry - Lumos299

The passionate kiss had been just what he needed to clear his mind. He smiled and pushed her hair back from her face, holding her head between his hands for a moment before he slid them down her arms and they came to rest on her hips. Snape pulled her closer, wrapping one of his arms about her waist while the other hand reached up to the button on her collar as he kissed her again. Yes, this was where they had left off before.

Fred nodded to George but didn't say anything to him. He was just too mad to speak. He thought he had seen the hat he had given Ginny bobbing up and down, somewhere down the street, but once he got up closer, she wasn't anywhere to be seen. Fred, with George still right beside him, stalked right past the place where Ginny was hiding without noticing or glancing her way.

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 12:19 AM

Ginny saw her brothers walk past her hiding spot, and she slid deeper into the alleyway. Right behind them came Harry, looking so much like himself despite the hat and ridiculous facial hair that Ginny swore under her breath and made to step out into the street after him. He was going to get himself killed. At that exact moment, several curses were hurled about the busy street. Ginny was forced to throw herself back into the alley to remain safe.

One of the attackers must have seen her, she reasoned, because a stream of blue light zinged over her head right where she had been standing just a moment before. It hit the wall and tore out a sizable piece of masonry, which crumbled down around Draco Malfoy. Ginny ignored all that for a moment, wanting to go back out on the street, where shoppers were scurrying out of the way and where her two brothers and the love of her life were. More curses were aimed her way however, and she gave a cry of frustration before turning back to Malfoy. He lay on the ground, the cement apparently having hit him. Ginny rushed to his side. His pulse was strong, but there was blood on his face. Hating the fact that the man she was saving today was not a loved one but an enemy, Ginny wrapped her arms around Malfoy and apparated to the safest place she could think of - Hogwarts.

Feeling Snape's hand on the collar of her shirt was almost as if Tara had been granted permission. Her hands, which had been at rest, one on his knee and the other holding his robes for balance, found their way up to the front of his robes. The fumbling was less this time and her fingers were quick and sure. She paused, pulling her face away from where she'd been laying kisses on Snape's jawline. "You aren't going to change your mind, are you?"

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 12:30 AM

Snape had closed his eyes as Tara began administering kisses along his jaw and unbuttoning his robes. He'd deftly managed the unbutton her robe with his long pale fingers and was slowly sliding it off her shoulders when she suddenly pulled away. He opened his eyes, his hands resting on her arms, twisted in Tara's robe.

In answer to her question, he leaned forward, forcing her back while he supported her back with one unentangled arm and brushing her hair back from her face with the other. "No," he whispered in a low voice tinged with desire. "Are you?"

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 12:54 AM

Ginny landed in front of Hogwarts still wrapped around Malfoy's lifeless form. If her brothers and Harry got away, they'd be heading back to Grimmauld Place and would be worried, but that couldn't be helped right now. Ginny attemped to drag Malfoy's body but only made it a few feet. He was too big and she was too tired. There was nothing for it... she'd have to go and get help. "I'll be back, Malfoy," she whispered before heading towards the castle.

"I'm not going to change my mind about THIS, no," Tara answered, surprised at how her body responded to that purr in his velvet voice. "I just... I don't want you to change your mind and want more someday. Don't fall in love with me," she said it in a light voice, as if it were a joke, but she was serious. Of course, she hadn't said anything about falling in love with him herself, but she didn't know if she had the strength of will to turn him down if he wanted all of her.

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 01:02 AM

He had said that he wouldn't want more, why didn't she believe him? Snape tossed aside her robe which he had managed to remove while she had spoken and kissed her again before answering in a whisper in her ear, "I expect nothing more than what you have already offered."

BG · 08-27-2004, 01:03 AM

Harry ducked as he saw various colors of light flash and heard a crack. It sounded like somone apparating. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach as the thought that it could have been Ginny... or someone taking Ginny. Harry ducked into the twins' shop as he ducked a curse that seemed to miss his right ear by only inches.

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 01:19 AM

Tara's sigh of relief came out as a puff of air on Snape's ear, which she soon followed with her lips. She continued unbuttoning his robe, but the angle she was at prevented her from doing more than pushing the robes back off his shoulders and down his arm. She soon focused her attentions on unbuttoning the crisp white shirt he wore underneath. Tara paused in unbuttoning, placing her own pale hand on the expanse of pale chest underneath and running her hands over what skin she could see, before returning to his shirt.

George tumbled into his shop steps behind Harry. "You git!" he yelled at the man. "I could be out there finding and protecting Ginny, but instead I'm following you around because you don't have the sense to stay put." His tone was angry but it was clear his anger was from fear and frustration rather than genuine rage. "Were you hit?"

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 01:24 AM

Snape shuddered at the sensation of her warm breath blowing across his ear which she quickly followed up with her lips. As her hand touched his cared chest he reached up to begin unbuttoning her blouse, longing to feel his skin upon hers. He kissed the top of her head before bowing his own head and returning her favor by placing his lips upon her ear.

BG · 08-27-2004, 01:26 AM

"What? No..." Harry said, somewhat confused to what he had just seen outside, and bringing his hand to his ear as if checking to make sure it was still there. "Don't I have a right to help Ginny, too? You two aren't the only ones who love her, you know."

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 01:39 AM

Tara's heart constricted when Snape kissed the top of her head. It was such a tender gesture... she didn't need to remind herself about their arrangement as such thoughts were driven again from her mind by Snape's fingers dancing delicately down the now open front of her shirt. Glancing down, Tara blushed at her undergarments. She strived for such professionalism externally, but her undergarments... those she chose to remind herself that despite her chaste, academic lifestyle, she was still fully woman. Tara looked away, her cheeks still pink, and pushed Snape's shirt off his shoulders and after his robes.

Ginny stood in the Entrance Hall, debating whether to go up to Dumbledore's office or try to seek help in another part of the castle. Finally, she streaked up the stairs towards his office. She attemped a variety of passwords before giving in and pounding loudly on the door. "Headmaster! Help!"

"I know you love her, Harry, but she'd kill us and then live a life of misery if anything happened to you. We all just need to..." But his words were cut off when a curse hit the front window and caused it to shatter inward. George uttered an oath and tackled Harry to the floor.

BG · 08-27-2004, 01:50 AM

Harry hit the floor hard as George tackled him to a ground and the front window of the store shattered. "Maybe we should get back to ... the place? Now."He waited for George to get up or respond to his words.

Hermione heard a loud crash downstairs and looked interestedly down the stairway. She came down them and saw the front glass shattered, Harry and George on the ground, and heard loud voices from outisde. She gave a soft scream, and losing all common sense, ran over to them. "What happened?"

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 01:56 AM

"Great... just my luck," George mumbled under his breath. "My siblings have to fall for two other foolishly brave Gryffindors." He rolled his eyes and pulled himself into a sitting position. His fall had brought Harry's elbow into direct contact with his ribs, and he thought one might be broken. "I have to go back out and find Ginny and Fred. You two are staying here." They looked as if they would argue and he lifted his wand. "You two are STAYING HERE!"

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 02:14 AM

He pushed her blouse off ehr shoulders just as she pushed his shirt off of his. Snape was surprised at her choice in undergarments and he began to wonder if perhaps there was more to her than... He stopped those thoughts before they led down somewhere he had promised her he wouldn't go. This was a physical relationship only and he had no need to know her reasoning behind the undergarments she chose.

Just as he moved to press his lips against Tara's again, he heard the door handle click. Sighing, he briefly allowed his weight to settle upon Tara before gtriding toward the door to intercept Dumbledore before he found the witch in such a state.

BG · 08-27-2004, 02:20 AM

Harry agreed unwillingly with George and stayed in the shop, waiting with Hermione, wondering and hoping that Ginny was okay.

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 02:27 AM

Ginny stumbled along behind Dumbledore, trying to explain what had happened, and feeling very silly about her being on Diagon Alley at all. The Headmaster had come bursting out of his office and had barely cast a cursory glance at Ginny as he moved. She felt quite clearly that she wasn't getting her point across at all. Why were they stopping here? Ginny stopped talking and the door swung open, revealing Snape without a shirt on. Ginny hadn't ever even seen him without his billowing black robe, so this was QUITE a shock.

"Erm... professor," she greeted him politely before attempting to entreat them both. "I'm telling you, sir, that Harry and Fred and George are still back there. And Malfoy is lying by the front gate. He was BLEEDING, sir. I couldn't carry him..."

Tara was frustrated and disappointed. Did Snape always have this problem of Dumbledore bursting in on him at any time? How did the man sleep? She reminded herself that this was not her concern and continued straightening her clothes. It was good of Snape to keep Dumbledore from finding her in yet another compromising position. She took in the talk at the door with interest. Where were the Weasley twins and Potter?

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 02:38 AM

"If I'd known you were bringing company, I would have dressed more appropriately," he sneered; his words were directed at the Headmaster, but his eyes remained focused on the youngest Weasley.

As she rambled on his eyes drifted back to Dumbledore. "They left?" he spat. "Insolent... little... bra..."

Snape turned on his heel and stalked back into the room, grabbed his robe, and began putting it on as he walked back to the door, ignoring Tara. "I told you they would be a liability," he said as they made their way down the corridor.

"Let us hope they have learned their lesson this time, Severus," Dumbledore replied, cooly, ignoring the potion master's earlier outbursts. "If you would be so kind as to attend to Mr. Malfoy? The Ministry has already dispatched aurors to Diagon Alley but, I believe I may be needed."

"Of course," Snape replied, obediently. "And what of the girl?"

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 02:47 AM

"First, I'm not a girl. I'm a woman. I've graduated, and I'll thank you not to act as if I'm still an 11-year-old who is easily taken in. Second, I think I'll stay with Malfoy for now. I brought him this far; I'd hate for him to live or die and I not get my say-so." Ginny stuck out her chin in a decidedly stubborn way. It was a childish response, but she was being treated as a child anyway, so she added on, "I'm sure that Professor Sinistra would agree with me. We can go back to your quarters and ask her, Professor."

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 03:44 AM

Snape was about to respond when she mentioned Professor Sinistra. He managed to keep his expression schooled but, he was mortified. He looked to Dumbledore who merely seemed amused. "I'll leave Miss Weasley to you, Severus," he said, annoyingly, before dissapearing down the corridor.

Snape growled and continued down the corridor, out the front doors, and down the path at swift pace. If the girl couldn't keep up, that wasn't his fault.

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 04:01 AM

Ginny rolled her eyes at Snape's antics. She had more than one older brother who had tried that trick out on her and she matched his pace easily. Once they stopped at the bottom of the hill, her snarky mood lifted and concern took its place. She didn't care about Malfoy, yet here she was feeling so worried about him. Ginny quickly knelt by his side, pressing her hand to his face. Cold and clammy. The fingers on her other hand sought his pulse. It was a bit slow, but he seemed to be okay. She looked up at Snape with relief written across her face.

Perhaps, if she was going to seek physical companionship, she ought to do so with a stranger rather than a colleague and a man she respected deeply, Tara mused. She was starting to care too much, as was evidenced by the pain that shot through her when Snape left, refusing to acknowledge her. She rubbed the bridge of her nose and wondered if it was too soon to send another letter to Dani. That always made her feel better. Tara exited Snape's quarters and climbed all the way up to her tower. It felt empty - another reason to stay away from Snape.

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 04:40 AM

Snape removed his wand and conjured a stretched beneath Malfoy. He then, levitated the stretcher and began to walk back toward the castle. He sighed thinking about what he could be doing right now if he hadn't been so rudely interrupted. He hadn't gotten much father than he had earlier that day and there was only so much of this torture he could bear. Snape only hoped that this didn't put any crimps in his agreement with Tara.

Mad Eye Touz · 08-27-2004, 04:45 AM

When the curses started flying, Fred dove one direction....George went another. Fred crawled to a large trash bin, and squatted down behind it. It was a very compromising place to be sitting when curses were filling the street, but it was the only thing he could find. And for the time being it kept him shielded. He slid his body up just a bit so he get his eyes over the brim of the bin...he shot one stunning curse after the other, in the direction from which the one's being shot at him were coming from.

Fred's mind was racing, and though he was in the middle of a showdown in the street, all he could think about was Ginny and Hermione...and of course George. In his minute of pause though, one of the attackers blew the trash bin shield to pieces, and the curse going straight through and hitting him full in the stomach. He gasped for air, but Fred Weasley was no weakling. He rolled to his feet, and ran down the nearest alleyway...back around the street, and in the backdoor to his shop.

Feeling a lot like someone had just laid him down and ran over him, Fred collapsed when he got to Hermione, Harry and George's side. Not seeing Ginny he said, "If Ginny is ok....I'm going to kill her..."

BG · 08-27-2004, 05:04 AM

Hermione was pacing around the room anxiously when Fred came in and proceeded to collapse on the floor, breathing heavily. She kneeled down next to him as he tried to catch his breath. "Are you alright, Fred? What happened?"

Cassirin · 08-27-2004, 05:09 AM

Ginny hurried to keep up, but Snape seemed determined to ignore her. Everytime she got beside the stretcher, he'd turn a corner too sharply, cutting her off and forcing her back. When they finally reached the hospital wing, Ginny was tired and cranky. It wasn't her fault that Snape didn't like her, but she was the one who paid the consequences. It looked as if they were there for the long haul, Malfoy still being quite unconscious and Madame Pomfrey bustling about. "Professor? Do you dislike me so intensely because I'm a Gryffindor or because I'm friends with Harry?"

Biochemkris · 08-27-2004, 05:17 AM

"I don't intensly dislike you," he said, taking a seat across the room from Malfoy so as not to disturb Madam Pomfrey yet, still in view of his former charge. "I merely dislike being interrupted for emergencies which could have been prevented if it weren't for the foolishness of several young witches and wizards."
