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.

| Neville and Dobby had finally gotten the twins' shop back into order. They had magically replaced the front window glass. They hdd restocked all of the shelves the way Dobby remembered them. The floors were swept and they got the lights all back on. Neville was beginning to get worried though. It had been several days since either of the twins had been heard from. And as far as he could tell, Ginny was missing too. "I've got a feeling they're together somewhere, Dobby," Neville said. "It's not like them all to be gone this long and after what has happened here.....I hope they're alright."

( btw hehehe) Snape smiled at her and grabbed Tara firmly around the waist, pullin gher with him as he swept to his door and deftly opened it. He quickly shut it and spun Tara so that she was now firmly pressed against him as he proceeded to kiss her.

| Draco wondered how much longer he would dream of this mixed up, upside-down wonderland as he found himself in the forest yet again. He had managed to slip away from Tweedledum and Tweedledee and ended up in what looked to be the Garden of (green) Flowers, which he exited quickly upon realizing that he didn't fit in with the rest of them. This landed him in an enormous field that looked like an enormous chess board. With some difficulty, he managed to get across to the other side, only to run into the White Rabbit.
"Congratulations on completing the challenge, the Queen of Hearts has invited you to play croquet." The White Rabbit sniffed importantly and looked him up and down.
Draco stared at the White Rabbit, his lips curling into a sneer of some sort. "Who's the Queen of Hearts? And why am I to play croquet?"
"Insolent child!" The White Rabbit glared and aimed a wand at him and mumbled something.
Draco's yell was drowned out by a blinding flash of light and he found himself standing in front of an enormous castle-like structure.
"Where am I?"
"The Queen's castle." The White Rabbit sniffed again. "Wait here and you'll be seen shortly." With that, the White Rabbit apparated and Draco was left to stand in front of the gates.
He faced away from the gate and looked around and saw card-like soldiers guarding the castle grounds, their backs turned away from him.
"Bloody weird place to be... I must have hit my head or something." He muttered and shook his head. He shivered involuntarily and mentally added, "And this place gives me the creeps."
"About time you got here." A familiar voice sounded from behind him.
Draco whirled around to see the Cheshire Cat sitting in front of him. The Cheshire Cat still looked as ominous as ever, but the sense of familiarity was even stronger than before. The eyes, though clouded with some sort of impenetrable haze, had an almost sad look to them as they fixed on him.
"Where exactly IS here, Sir Cat?" Draco gestured.
"Where you are supposed to be." The Cat said mysteriously, his eyes flickering slightly.
Draco was going to say something else, but decided against it. He kept his lips shut and he stared at the Cat.
"Excuse me, Sir Cat, but you look familiar..." He began and was cut off with an impatient waving of a paw.
"I'm a creation of your mind. Like all dreams are." The Cat emphasized, his voice so rough it sounded harsh.
It was only then that Draco saw an intricate black tattoo-like mark on the arm. He opened his mouth to say something about it, but was again cut off.
"The Queen has taken a shine to you, Draco, but before you may see the Queen, you must have a key to the castle. Otherwise you will not be admitted and you will be killed - even though you were invited here." The Cat lashed its tail back and forth and advanced on him.
"What sort of key?" Draco's eyes narrowed suspiciously, fighting an urge to step backwards.
"A... very special... key." The Cat answered, its tone still mysterious. He flipped out his paw and shining claws flashed out, glinting in the light.
"You mean... MARK me?" Draco's stomach roiled and he backed away. "If you'd please..."
"It's the only way to ensure no intruders are allowed into the castle." The Cat's voice was reasonable, but he sounded pained. "It's... crude, but most effective. Don't worry. Most people who are given the key are marked by the Queen or the King, but I have taken it upon myself to give you your key." The claws flashed in the air and Draco screamed.
He felt a searing pain, like he was being cut and burned to his bone, and the last thing he felt was a drop of liquid fall onto his forehead before his world went black...
Draco bolted up in bed, screaming. It's only a dream, only a dream...
But the pain was not.
The pain was almost unbearably real, emanating from his left shoulder in nauseating waves. He stumbled out of bed and dashed to the bathroom, barely making it in time to dryly retch into the loo. Oh bloody hell, but it hurts... God it hurts so much...
He nearly blacked out in the bathroom from the intensity of the pain, and about as suddenly as the pain had arrived, it left, leaving him reeling in its wake and his left arm throbbing as if he had had a shot in the muscle.
He unsteadily walked back to his bed and laid back down. He pulled the blankets back up and hid his head as he cradled his arm, sobbing quietly.
The pain had been a message to him, reminding him of his loyalities to the Dark Lord and commanding him to attend the upcoming DE meeting. The very idea of attending the meeting made his face go bloodless and he tried to think of something else.
He decided to practice his occolomency and he closed his eyes and after a few moments, fell into a meditative state.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Robert Allyn Winchester First Year | Runs With Vampires Elizabeth, after a tense few days staying out of sight of the others, got over her fright and made for the Kitchen, as she was starving. She opened the fridge and found a loaf of stale bread, which she began to eat.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny finished stomping down the stairs and had the sense to walk more quietly past Mrs. Black's portrait. Once past it, she hurried into the kitchen, but stopped short upon seeing Elizabeth. Ginny wondered if she should just back out slowly or attempt to say something. Nothing seemed fitting. Instead, she kind of eeped pitifully and half hoped and half feared that Harry would be about three steps behind her.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Tara's breath was stolen as she found herself firmly pressed between Snape's unmoving form and the closed door, but for the first time, the closed space didn't make her want to sit down and take deep breathes. To the contrary, she didn't really want to be doing anything but this.
When Snape pulled back to be sure of her reaction, Tara took that opportunity to shove Snape in the general direction of the bed. She couldn't see it, but she knew it was there and they would find it. "Let's avoid distractions, shall we?" She requested, her hands flying to remove her own outer robes this time. "I hope you don't find me too pushy," she said, letting the robes fall to the floor as she moved to her buttons with deft fingers.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Robert Allyn Winchester First Year | Runs With Vampires Elizabeth, lifting her head away from the fridge door it was resting on, saw Ginny standing in the doorway, looking uneasy.
"Oh, hello" Elizabeth said, trying not to picture Ginny kissing her ex-fiancee.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "Hi," Ginny bobbed her head idiotically and took a tentative step into the kitchen. "Is there anything to eat?" She knew she looked like a fool, but there was no way around not feeling awkward with this young woman. Without meaning to, she'd completely stolen her world right out from under her. No apology would make it better, and Ginny wasn't really sorry that she had Harry now.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Robert Allyn Winchester First Year | Runs With Vampires "There's not much - just some stale bread. I think some of the vegetables in the garden should be ripe by now though" Elizabeth said, surprised at how normal and calm her voice sounded when she was feeling anything but calm inside. Sure the pain had been dimming for the last few days, but it was still there and it still hurt.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny thought Elizabeth's voice sounded bright and chipper, so she ignored her misgivings and crossed the room to peer into the fridge. "Sad but true. That's alright. I know some easy spells if we can find some vegetables." She turned and smiled overly brightly at Elizabeth, but the pain in the other woman's eyes was just too much to overlook. Ginny faltered and took a step back.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Robert Allyn Winchester First Year | Runs With Vampires Elizabeth, seeing Ginny step back, blinked quickly and then walked past Ginny into the Garden, where she managed to find a small pumpkin and 3 carrots. She brought them back in and put them down on the bench. She turned to Ginny and said " There's not much out there, but this should be alright for us though - is there anyone else at home?"

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny twisted her hands. "Yes, I think my mum and dad are around, plus perhaps a few other members of the Order, not to mention Fred, George, Hermione, Guin... and..." she trailed off, Harry's name, though unsaid, lingering between them.

| Hermione left Harry standing alone outside of the room Fred and George were in. She went to her bedroom and started to think about what they were planning to do with the dark mark. The only thing that she could think of was that they were wanting to become spies for the Order and pretend to be death eaters for a time. But that wasn't really a one-time deal...
Hermione flopped onto the bed and closed her eyes, trying to think some more. Within moments she had drifted off to sleep. Harry watched Hermione leave without a goodbye and turned toward the stairs, thinking he would find Ginny. He went into the kitchen, hoping to find her there, and he did. However, she was in the company of Elizabeth. He backed out of the doorway, trying not to be noticed.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Robert Allyn Winchester First Year | Runs With Vampires Elizabeth concentrated on what Ginny was saying. She waited until she had finished, then spoke:
"What if we enlarge these veggies and make a stew? That should be enough for everyone to have some"

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny looked askance at Elizabeth before turning back to the food. She couldn't really understand why the girl was being nice to her, but she wasn't really going to question it. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Harry making his getaway. Good for him.
"That sounds good to me. We really ought to have a grocery run one of these days."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Robert Allyn Winchester First Year | Runs With Vampires "yeah" said Elizabeth, starting to sense that Ginny could see through her fake cheerfulness, and she let her smile drop. She turned towards the bench and started casting Engorgio on the vegetables. After they had been enlarged enough to provide a decent meal, she started chopping them.
"Ginny, could you uh, boil some water please?"

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny swished her hand and the pot started to heat. She turned to watch Elizabeth methodically chop the vegetables. "You must be good at Potions, huh?" she said without really thinking about it. "Did Beauxbatons have a good professor? You've already met our professor. The incredibly cheerful and sunny Professor Snape. He was through here earlier. Swoops around in black a lot?"

| Neville, knowing that Ginny would probably know what was going on, decided to send an owl to her and try and get an explanation. He finished writing it and walked down to the post office to loacte a good owl able to make the delivery. He attached it to the owl's leg and told it to find Ginny Weasley and off it flew. "I hope, Ginny's alright and can tell me what's been going on," he thought to himself.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Zahra Kettleburn Seventh Year | Inside Kitty | HIT ENTER | UNO Queen "I think that I need to at least have some fun today and not worry with this for the rest of the day. We can figure Snape out tomorrow. " Fred sat up and reached under the bed again for his shoes. He slipped them on, and started tying them, "We can go out into the back garden right? It's fenced in...Actually, I don't care. I need fresh air...and maybe a drink. Come on....what do you say?" Fred finished up his shoes, put on his neon bowler, and did a little tap routine for George while waiting on him to lace his shoes.. |

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee "I say... stop rushing me." George paused in tying his shoe to throw the other shoe at his twin. Fred caught it and tossed it back. Once George was finished, he followed Fred out onto the landing. "I feel better about things now that we have a sense of direction. Any particular mischief you feel up to today?"

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny turned from where she was boiling the water as an owl flew in through the window over the back door. It swooped to her side, and she retrieved the note tied to his leg. Tossing him a bit of the pumpkin rind, Ginny carefully wiped her hands and unrolled the parchment. She paled and scribbled a brief, "Don't move. -Gin"
"I... uh... I need to go and... I'll be back," Ginny stammered to Elizabeth, hurrying to the entry way.

| Neville didn't have to wait long for a response. The owl he'd picked out to carry his letter returned in about an hour. Neville opened up the Twin's shop door and let the bird fly in. He loosened the letter and realeased the bird back to the street. "Don't move...Gin." was all it said.
"Well what that's supposed to mean," Neville thought to himself. He walked upstairs to the flat and started neatening up his stuff, while he waited to find out what Ginny had in mind.
He didn't have to wait long before he heard the front door open, ringing the overhanging bell.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Ginny bit her lip for a moment. No one would let her leave again, btu there was Neville out there, not knowing how much danger he was in. There was no helping it. Muttering a charm she'd learned sixth year when she'd become completely sick of her red hair, Ginny turned her hair a deep shade of blue black. It wasn't much of a disguise, having no facial hair, but not having the Weasley red hair made all the difference in the world in times like these.
She stepped out the door and onto the street, glad she was wearing a plain pair of robes. She should blend right in. Ginny apparated to several shops down from the twins' store. If she was lucky, there'd be quite a few people on the street and she could blend in. There was a good sized summer crowd, and Ginny slipped into their numbers, glad she could keep her eyes down and look like one of them.
Finally, she paused in front of the twins' shop. She glanced at her watch as if someone was late and looked up and down the street. There was no helping it. She'd simply need to be quick. Ginny opened the door and slipped into the shop, the bell overhead nearly scaring the wits out of her. She raced to the bottom of the stairs, her heart pounding. "Neville!"

| "Ginny?" Neville asked in a whisper. he wasn't sure why he was whispering but something in her voice mad him feel like it was best. Neville came out of his room and to the top of the stairs. He saw a figure at the botom wearing plain robs but it wasn't Ginny....or was it. "Ginny?" he said again, is that you.......whats going on, where is everyone?"

Unless you count stealing all of Ginny's underwear and strowing them in random places throughout the back garden." Fred was half playing, but once he said it aloud it sounded better. "Just a thought...."Fred added waiting to see what George thought... |
