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

Draco sat up a little, glad that his head wasn't swimming so much.

"Professor Snape..." His gunmetal eyes lightened slightly upon seeing his former HoH and Potions master. "I'm... all right. Just a hard knock on the head I suppose. Feels like a hippogryff sat on my head. Apparently, I'm not too far off in my feeling since it happens that a chunk of wall hit me in the head when I was in Diagon Alley." He snorted, his face set in a dry expression. "So... here I am."

Biochemkris · 08-30-2004, 03:16 AM

"And how did you happen to have a large chunk of wall fall on your head in Diagon Alley? Details, if you please," he said, crossing his arms and settling back in the chair.

Mad Eye Touz · 08-30-2004, 03:42 AM

Fred watched Hermione's ever redding face. He was thinking that she really should come join in on the fun. Ginny was right, she was like one of them....but when Ginny pulled her down and Hermione was basically laying on top of him, much like Ginny, things got a bit awkward. Fred suddenly didn't know where to put his hands, every place seeming worse than the next.

But Fred wasn't one to embarass easily, and definitely not one to be stuck in an awkward moment, shifted Hermione over his body so that the two girls were laying between himself and George. George seemed to have already caught on, and the tickling of the two girls began....

Zadkhiel · 08-30-2004, 04:01 AM

Draco sighed and started explaining what had happened that day, from when he left the Manor to going to the bank, to having Weasley running into him, to ducking into an alleyway, to finding himself in Hogwarts again.

"So I ducked into an alleyway because I didn't want to draw any more attention to myself, especially with the Weasley lot around, and ended up facing that Weasley girl, Ginny, again. She stuck her wand in my face and accused me of killing Luna, which is absurd and ludicrous, and I laughed at her and told her I hadn't killed her or anyone else before and told her to lower her wand. She was apparently rather confused and then there was some commotion and I saw a some flashes of light and heard a loud rumbling sound and I don't remember much after that other than I had some bloody buggery dreams and I ended up here."

He winced slightly and shook his head a little. "So honestly, professor, I'm not sure exactly WHAT happened." His face suddenly got a haunted look and his eyes clouded.

Biochemkris · 08-30-2004, 04:11 AM

Snape merely sat and listened to Malfoy's story. The boy was still pretty out of it and soon Madam Pomfrey was flitting about with potions and shiding him for "interrogatting the boy when he's in such a condition."

He watched as she left before turning to Malfoy. "Is there anything else you'd like to tell me?" he asked, cursing himself for sounding so much like Dumbledore.

Zadkhiel · 08-30-2004, 04:19 AM

Draco scrounged in his head for any other details he might have forgotten to mention. Blast the medication for being so strong. He hated feeling like his brain was swiss cheese.

"Actually, I do... I remember why I tried to follow Ginny in the first place. It was because she had mentioned something about the DEs. Professor, that brat said something about Luna being killed by the DEs... At least she implied it. She also implied that she was possibly in danger as well since she acted as if I'd kill her. I haven't been around much because of all that's happened, but apparently, the DEs are becoming more active. Do you know what's going on?" His expression darkened. "Do you suppose this incident at Diagon Alley had anything to do with it? With me?"

Biochemkris · 08-30-2004, 05:25 AM

"No, I don't believe it had anything to do with you," Snape said, thoughtfully. "I believe, as usual, it had to do with Potter."

BG · 08-30-2004, 05:29 AM

Hermione was still embarassed when Ginny pulled her down onto the pile of people, but her pink cheeks seemed to fade as she laughed, considering the actual situation they were in. Things turned a bit awkward when Hermione landed on top of Fred, but he managed to play it off well, and she was on his side, both she and Ginny being tickled by the Weasley twins.

Zadkhiel · 08-30-2004, 06:23 AM

Draco nodded. "Always Potter," he drawled. "Well then, that means I should be able to head for home once my head stops feeling like a hippogryff sat on it. Seeing as how I shouldn't be in any more danger and all." He couldn't help letting the bitter tone creep into his voice.

Even if they were after Potter, he still felt like he was in danger because he was a traitor to the DEs and to Voldemort. So even if they were after Potter, he Draco Malfoy, still had to hide like a coward and live in constant fear and vigilence.

He wondered if Professor Snape ever felt that way. He figured since the Potions Master was sitting right across from him, he might as well ask.

"Professor Snape... when you... deferred... what was it like? Your life afterwards, I mean." The words came out more like a monologue to himself, but he looked his former HoH in the eyes, trying to keep his own inner torment hidden out of sight. Realizing that such a personal question might offend the older man, he cleared his throat. "I apologize if I'm prying."

Biochemkris · 08-30-2004, 06:31 AM

Snape sat looking at Malfoy for several minutes before he was finally prepared to answer. Though he had had many talks with the boy since his betrayal, he hadn't once spoken of his own defection. "Not much changed in terms of my relationship with the Dark Lord and his servants. Obviously, any changes of that nature would have betrayed me," he said. "However, those on Dumbledore's side were, and still are, loathe to trust me. Though I have Dumbledore's backing and they appear eager for my reports, you can see that they don't really believe I've changed sides at all."

Zadkhiel · 08-30-2004, 06:44 AM

Draco's eyes widened and he nodded slightly. "They can't trust what they can't understand I suppose. Or who they can't understand as it may be. But I don't understand, Professor. If you wanted to, you... could have betrayed everyone a long time ago and you didn't. Surely that must mean something?"

He sighed and rubbed his temples. "When I went to Diagon Alley, it's as if everyone thought I was a ruthless murderer or something. That Weasley brat nearly tried to kill me and I'm sure she thinks I'm evil and all. Though that doesn't matter."

"I've been filing leftover paperwork my... father left behind for the the Dark Lord. It's like I'm on pins and needles all the time, as if he will suddenly apparate behind me or something." He paused. "Or worse." He absently rubbed his left shoulder at the mention of the Dark Lord, feeling the barest of tingles in his flesh.

Biochemkris · 08-30-2004, 05:21 PM

"You'll become accustomed to it," Snape said. "Just remember that no matter how much time has past, no matter what you have done or are doing, the majority of people will never believe that you have truly changed.

"As for your safety, that's just another something you'll have to learn to live with. Each day, you wakr up knowing that it may be your last. The sooner you come to accept these things, the easier all this will be on you."

Neville was near the window when he noticed a small brownish blur appear. The door flew open and then shut as Dobby scambled in. "Dobby," Neville asked, "what's going on down there?"

"Dobby is running sir, from the bad men thats cursing everywheres," the house elf that worked for the twins explained, still breathing hard. "Dobby was mindings the shop when he sees these two men that Dobby sees befores. They is the two mens that said they were with the Ministry were asking questions about the girls that was killed. Dobbys tells them that they shouldn't be asking so many questions and that theys is not with the ministry."

"How did you know they weren't with the Ministry, Dobby," Neville asked

"Cause the ministry peoples came by earlier and they had badges and stuff. These two didn't have anything but wands and they was nervous and all edgy when Dobby started asking thems questions. Dobby knows when he's being lied to, sir".

"But then what was all the cursing," Neville asked.

"Dobby saw them come back and they wasn't asking any questions now they was cursing everone, they tried to gets my masters, and Harry Pottah sir."

"They were after Harry?"

"Dobby doesn't know sir but they all gots away, my masters, miss Hermy and Harry Pottah all disapperated somewhere, Miss Weasley left with that bad boy, my old master.......the Malfoy boy," Dobby actually shuddered at the mention of Draco's name.

"well it all seems quiet now," Neville said looking out at the glass and brick littered alley in front of his store.

Cassirin · 09-01-2004, 04:50 AM

George was laughing so hard he was crying as he tickled Ginny and Hermione, but finally they all settled down and lay across Fred's bed. It had been a heady couple of days, and George just let his mind relax as he tried not to think about it. Unfortunately, he instead started thinking about that blasted meeting from the day before. During the meeting, he'd been concentrating on annoying Snape and how much his finger hurt, but the words from Professor Sinistra came back to him. She had said the side to strike first within the month had a greater chance of victory. Why hadn't they started planning something immediately? Better yet, why hadn't he and Fred started planning something? What better way to earn their stripes than to come up with something so pivotal?

"Ginny, Hermione... this has been great fun, but I need you to leave. I want to talk to Fred. Alone."

Ginny scoffed. "Don't be unreasonable, George. Anything you're plotting... you need us. Hermione is a genius and I'm your new slave. Plus, I'm all devious Weasley... we're staying." She linked arms with Hermione.

Mad Eye Touz · 09-01-2004, 05:30 AM

Fred rolled his eyes palyfully. "Women. Can't keep around when you need them, can't get rid of them when you don't. Obviously our lil Ginn's doesn't listen to us anymore, so I say save your energy, George. What does my most favorite brother have going on in that brain of his?" Fred asked looking up at the ceiling, having a pretty good idea what was George was thinking.

Cassirin · 09-01-2004, 05:49 AM

George rolled his eyes, but really didn't feel like arguing at this point. "Fine, you can stay, but if you can't keep up, we aren't going to go back for you." He turned to Fred. "At the meeting last night, do you remember what Sinistra said? She said whoever strikes first... and that we only have a month to do it. What's keeping us from striking first anyway? And who's to say the Weasley twins can't make their first contribution something to live up to?" George tried to remind himself that this wasn't about proving his worth or that they needed him... it was about helping defeat Voldemort.

Tara stood outside the hospital wing, listening to Draco and Snape talk. She had sought him out intentionally, knowing from the house elf who deposited breakfast that morning that Malfoy was still in the infirmary and knowing from her own brief experience with Snape that he might grumble or sneer but he wouldn't leave the boy's side until he awoke. Tara wasn't sure what she wanted to say to Snape, but she followed the whim to seek him.

His words struck a deep chord within her. Not only the reminder that caring for him would be so unsafe... she didn't need to remember that she had to stay safe so Dani could stay safe. Afterall, someday... The part that really struck her, however, was when he said that the majority of the people would never really believe he could be trusted. Strange that, because since she'd seen him with the Order, she'd known he was safe. She didn't want to think about what that meant for her, or what it meant for her heart. "I am NOT falling for Severus Snape," she muttered to herself. "Its illogical and dangerous. And not just for my physical well-being. Dangerous for my heart."

Biochemkris · 09-02-2004, 02:27 AM

Snape turned at the sound of a soft voice just outside the door and saw Tara out of the corner of his eye. Had she overheard? He shook his head and turned back to Malfoy; what did he care if she had heard? "I have some business to attend to and you need to continue your convalescence. I'll return later," he said before sweeping out to the door.

"Was there something you needed?" he asked as he arrived at Tara's side, just outside the door.

Cassirin · 09-02-2004, 03:09 AM

Tara started at the sound of Snape's voice. He was standing right next to her before she even realized it, and Tara wondered if he'd heard her. His face was impassive, so she assumed he hadn't. "No... I was just..." She thought quickly. Looking for you for some unfathomable reason? Feeling lonely? Falling straight down the same old dangerous path? "I was just out for a walk?" she tried out tremulously.

Biochemkris · 09-02-2004, 03:31 AM

"Oh," he said, trying to hide the disappointment from his voice and face; he had hoped she'd been looking for him. "Well..."

What was he supposed to say? Why was he feeling so awkward. "I suppose I should be getting back down to the dungeons," he muttered, stupidly.

Cassirin · 09-02-2004, 04:00 AM

"I'll walk with you," Tara said in a rush, then turned and rolled her eyes at herself. Was she 15? She was acting like a child around this man, and that certainly wasn't called for. Still... "Professor, as for the arrangement we discussed earlier?" She walked beside him as they made their way downstairs. "I was wondering if we could still have a professional relationship. You're one of the few professors whose company I would willingly seek out, and I find that your conversation actually challenges me. Does that overstep any bounds?" She bit her lip, but otherwise appeared unconcerned.

Sir_Spots · 09-02-2004, 04:11 AM

after the dust settled Dobby looked up from behind the counter in Neville's shop. "Dobby has to go backs to the shop and sees if he can help clean up and help my masters..." and he got up to leave.

'I'll go with you, I'd like to find out what's going on," said Neville, and he joined the house elf in walking up the alley towards the shop.

"What on earth happened here," he said as he saw the ruins of the twins' shop. The front windwo was smashed in, the door had burn marks upon it. There were large holes ripped out of the walls near the entrance where spells had blasted deeply in to them. Neville and Dobby walked hesitantly through the doorway and called out "Fred......George.....any one in here?"

Biochemkris · 09-02-2004, 04:12 AM

"No, I don't believe that would be overstepping any bounds. I rather enjoy our professional conversations, myself. They are certainly better than the drivel which issues forth from Minerva," Snape replied, looking straight ahead at the stairs to the Slytherin dungeons. "Not only can I see no reason why we can't maintain a professional relationship, I believe we should maintain that relationship for the sake of quelling any rumours which could surface."

Cassirin · 09-02-2004, 05:16 AM

"That's funny," Tara replied, looking at him out of the corner of her eye. "I would have thought you were one who didn't really care about rumors. Were above them and all that. I hope you're not putting up with my whims for my sake." She unconsciously led the way, directing them towards his quarters.

Biochemkris · 09-02-2004, 05:21 AM

"Normally, I don't care about rumours," he said, arriving at the door, unsure as to whether he should invite her in or not; she was taking a walk, afterall. "However, I don't fancy the chat Minerva will inevitably corner me into should rumours arise that something is taking place between us which isn't."

Cassirin · 09-02-2004, 05:45 AM

Tara stood in front of Snape, but she leaned against the wall across from his door. She wanted a little space without being too obvious. "Well, you can't exactly imply that our relationship is all professional, Severus, because if this is professional, I really should have taken Gilderoy Lockhart up on all of his 'offers.'" She smirked then, her face a stark contrast to its usual placidness. "Well, alright, I suppose at this point we still do have a fairly professional relationship, thanks to Dumbledore."
