Notes:
You will notice that the RP is set up in such a way that many characters come and go. I've done this intentionally so that people can still participate in the RP if they can't be committed to it for the entire duration of the RP.
I would like to encourage you to take on the challenge and fill roles that need to be filled, even if it's a type of role you've never played before.
If you are interested in filling a role I've listed a need for, please PM me, and I will give you the basic details you need to know. I don't want to just post the character profile for you because I want you to have the ability to make your own choices make the character your own.
I do reserve the right to reject any characters created. This is mostly to keep a reasonable number of characters and to ensure that roles essential to the plot are filled first.
Once you've decided/have been assigned a role, please PM me with your character information, and I will post it here for you.
As the plot progresses, I will fill players in with all necessary information to help the plot progress in the way it is supposed to via PM. There are some details that not all players will receive beforehand just because it makes it more fun if you don't know everything.
No scene will start until all necessary characters have been assigned.
I will notify all players by PM when a new scene is about to start.
Once a scene has begun, no new characters may be added to that scene.
Please let me know ASAP if you will be unable to RP for a few days so that we can either figure out if we can go on without you OR so I can tell the other players that we're pausing the story.
Just a reminder that this RP was placed here because it will contain some more mature material as the story goes along. If you have any questions about how to make mature subject matter more tastefully written, feel free to PM me.
HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!!!!
SPOILER!!: Cadence Ballard
Basic Information Name: Cadence Hope Ballard Nicknames: Cady, Cad (but the only people who DON'T call her Cadence are Melanie and Nate) Gender: Female Year: 3rd (but she's supposed to be a 4th year... keep reading to find out!) Age: 14 Birthday: September 9 Magical Descent: Half-and-Half. Her dad was a Muggle and her mom was a witch. Family: The only family she has left are her grandparents on her mom's side. Relationship Status: In a relationship with Nate King.
History:
Cadence was in born in England, and spent most of her primary school years attending an all-girls boarding school on the countryside. Her parents loved her very much: her father was a muggle, and her mother was a witch. They felt that as she was growing up, it was important for her to experience life both as a Muggle and as a witch so that she could function in either world. Thus, while she attended a Muggle school until coming to Hogwarts.
While enrolled in Muggle school, she was very actively involved in both choir and the theatre program. She was more of an artsy child and never really cared for physical education or sports. That is something about her personality that hasn't changed.
When leaving her muggle school on holidays, Cadence was never quite sure where she would be taken by her parents. They traveled all-over the world participating in a peace-keeping organization. So, Cadence has seen a lot of the world, and yet she's experienced so little of it. Whenever they were not at their home in England, there were always adults keeping a close eye on Cadence so that no harm would come to her.
Eventually, her Hogwarts letter came, and she was ecstatic that she would finally be learning about magic! She came to Hogwarts at age 11 with wide eyes and a mind open to learning anything and everything. That all changed very quickly, however, when she received a letter from one of her parents' friends telling her that they had been killed. This was a devastating blow to Cadence; she had always been so incredibly close to her parents. She was daddy's little girl and mommy's little helper. With the help of her friend Melanie and her boyfriend Set, she managed to press forward, though she was unsure where she would be going after the school year ended. Before Cadence had even adjusted to this, though, her boyfriend Set was murdered in the library. Now all of Cadence's hope and faith and trust that the world was a good place was shattered. Days after his death, she became so disturbed and angry that she actually destroyed the Hufflepuff Common Room, not stopping until Mr. Masterson came in and grabbed her right as she passed out.
Cadence woke up weeks later in St. Mungo's not remembering anything about her life after Set's death. She didn't remember destroying the common room or Mr. Masterson's kind help. Nothing at all. After being awake for a couple days, her grandparents finally came to visit her. Cadence had never seen nor talked to these grandparents. These were her mother's parents, her father's having passed away before Cadence was 3, and they had wanted nothing to do with her mother after she had married Cadence's Muggle father. The Grogans were purebloods and felt that all wizards should carry on the pureblood tradition. They were not affectionate nor compassionate during their visits. On the contrary, they blamed Cadence's unbalanced behavior on her less-than-desirable breeding.
Nevertheless, when the time came for Cadence to leave St. Mungo's, her grandparents offered her room and board provided she stick to her room and stay quiet except at meal times. Most teenagers wouldn't mind so much living with their grandparents, but Cadence's grandparents had taken her in out of pity and because it would make them look bad to not take her; it had nothing to do with loving her. Eventually, Cadence was allowed to start school again, primarily in the form self-education. Once a week, a tutor would visit her and check over her work, and a therapist would come talk to her about how she was doing. For all of this, Cadence stayed in her room. After months of begging, Cadence finally got her grandparents to bring a dance instructor in twice a week. Cadence had convinced her therapist to tell her grandparents it would be good for her.
Those were the only times she was happy at her grandparents house, when she was dancing. When she was dancing, she could be free and let go of everything else in the world. Those four hours a week were wonderful.
Now, Cadence is back at Hogwarts, finally! She's struggled to adjust and sometimes acts in ways that even she doesn't understand. She has a tendency to overreact and be dramatic, but with what she's been through, who could blame her for her lack of social skills.
Personality: Sweet and good-natured. She hates making enemies. Loves to laugh and have a good time. Has a slight tendency to be dramatic and overreact (though she's getting better about it.) Doesn't like confrontation. She just wants to be liked and loved and to give her love to others. Cadence is also a very physical person and tends to use her body to assert her independence and freedom from her grandparents' strict lifestyle. This tendency also leads her to be a very physically affectionate person and makes it very difficult for her to mask her emotions because her body language will almost always give it away.

He loves Muggle studies because he lived as a muggle for so long. He loves soccer and hates the cold. He broke up with Ella, his now ex-girlfriend after falling head over heels for Cadence. He loves to have fun and hates drama. He protects Cadence strongly. He is afraid of saying 'I love you.' because he never heard it from his parents.

Where are they from?:Born and raised in France Current Location: A large beach house on the Sebastian Beach. Magical Heritage: Full blooded. House at Hogwarts : a very proud Hufflepuff alum.
Backstory: Iris was born in a small French town, that no longer exists. Only those who knew of it before know of it now. Her parents were both full blooded and very happy Slytherins. She was brought up to know that anyone less than pure blood was beneath them and that muggles were absolutely disgusting. Iris attended Hogwarts where she was placed as a Hufflepuff much to her and her parents’ dismay. She caused all sorts of trouble and spent most of her time in detention. While in school, she met a young man who was her first husband from Slytherin soon after they graduated from Hogwarts, Wilson Meader.
Wilson died a few years later after a horrific fight between himself and a close friend and left Iris with a fortune of money and their large mansion in the east London country side. Eight years later at the age of twenty-eight, Iris remarried to a man named Leo Austain, they were happily married for twelve years before Leo died of natural causes, leaving her with more money to inherit and their only child Mary Alice Austain. At the age of forty-two she married Alec Belihov from France. She moved herself and Mary in with the Alec. Alec died two years later from a muggle car accident. At forty-five, Iris married her fourth husband, Ronsan Lovell. He passed away from a heart attack, leaving his whole life fortune to Iris to inherit. At fifty, Iris married, Lee Acklaner who died three years later in his sleep beside Iris. A seven years later at the age of sixty one, Iris married her last and latest husband, Brad Myason. He died after a very short marriage of seven and half months of a heart attack, leaving Iris in a state of shock and lovesick, never able to marry again.
Though Iris had been through several marriages and death, she took very good care of her daughter Mary. She was very tough on her, though, as her parents had been on her. And even though she was a proud Hufflepuff one she graduated from Hogwarts, she had always felt she was a Slytherin and wanted her to be just like Iris’ mother. Iris took Brad’s death very hard and didn’t want to speak with Mary, and hasn’t spoken to her since the day they found out Brad was dead. Instead, she began drowning her feelings in alcohol.
Less than two months after Brad’s death Iris moved from France to the United States where she lives in a very large beach house on the Sebastian Beach.

Asher, being nineteen at the time comforted his younger two siblings and took care of them, initially stepping into to the role of father and mother.

SPOILER!!: Melanie Faith Lockhart
Name: Melanie Faith Lockhart How do they fit in?: Best friend of Cadence Age: 14 Where is she from?: She grew up in New York, but was born in England Magical Heritage: Muggleborn House at Hogwarts and Year: Hufflepuff 4th Year Backstory:
Melanie was born in a small town in England, the same place where her parents met and married. She spent the first four years of her life there and it is where most of her relatives on her mother's side live. Her mom was only just getting out of college and kick-starting her career as a journalist when she had her. After a few years of struggling, a big city newspaper editor caught site of her column in another, community one and asked her to join their team, which Elizabeth Lockhart gladly obliged to. Though she was quite pleased with her new occupation, the woman got tired of that quickly, and wanted to move on to something more to her taste.
Television Broadcasting. After a riff with her mother, who disproved of her ever changing wishes and rash, spontaneous decisions, Elizabeth decided that with a new job should come a new home, away from her family, which meant a move. Her husband reluctantly agreed, under one condition, and left his job as a teacher, to go to America, where he was born. John Lockhart's condition was that they go to New York City, to live where he grew up.
And so they moved. Elizabeth secured a job, with the local news broadcasting network. John decided to start a Movie Rental shop, which was a struggled at first, but later brought in enough money to pay for itself, and then some. Within a few months the store was up and running, with Alec helping outon the side and Jpohn working as the manager. Melanie and her brother were both enrolled into Muggle School (Melanie after she was old enough).
Eventually they settled in, Melanie not so happily. She loved New York City, with all it's bright lights, tall buildings and it's man made beauty, but she missed her cousins and she wasn't exactly having a good time fitting in at her new school. She did make friends with a few children in her apartment... but she never really felt as if she truly fit in.
She was eight when it happened. It only socially isolated her even further, when her mom drowned on a trip she went on for a news report. Naturally, Melanie bawled her eyes out when it first happened, but, besides a fear of water, these days she won't show any emotion about it, or react extremely if it's brought up. She won't talk about her mom's death, usually, unless prompted to. It's obvious she hasn't forgotten her though. Melanie wears a piece of her mom's jewelry, a silver chain heart necklace, every day.
It helped her a little when she discovered a cat, which she dubbed Momo, running from a peeved butcher he'd apparently been stealing meat from. After seeing the way she interacted with the cat, smiling just a little and being a bit more boisterous- or at least as boisterous as an eight year old should be- her dad reluctantly let her adopt him, and she has taken care of him til' this day.
It was a few years afterward she showed her first signs of magical ability. She was having a nightmare, dreaming a tsunami was crashing down upon her, as she ran and ran. Melanie longed just get away, be somewhere safe from the danger that was clearly about to swallow her up.
And she woke up curled up in the dryer of the building she lived in, much to the annoyance, and amusement, of her neighbors, who were doing some morning laundry. Thankfully, the dryer wasn't running. A few weeks later she got a letter for Hogwarts, and apologies from her father when he realized that the whole ordeal was an accident, and that her seemingly unbelievable story about just 'appearing there' had been true after all.
She was absolutely thrilled when she got her letter. Melanie got sorted into Hufflepuff House. She's a happy fourth year now.
SPOILER!!: Torin Kane
Name: Torin Kristopher Kane Age: 16 DoB: May 23rd, 2054 Year: 6th Heritage: Muggleborn Pets: A dog named Sloth and a dog named Butter; a cat named Toast; an owl named Cat; Pygmy Puffs named Snap, Crackle and Pop; a tarantula named Baxters.
SPOILER!!: piccy
Hair: Brown and curly Eyes: Brown Skin: Tan Height: 6'4
Personality: Torin loves to socialize and meet new people. He also is rather impulsive, and can do silly things without thinking. But he also can be well behaved and polite. He's mostly just really bad with Reese Upstead, one of his best friends. He is loyal, and tries to be there for his friends, but he hates fighting; if his friends come to blows he will not be in he middle of it. He can be quite the flirt, but also sweet. And when he loves a girl, he really loves her.
Family: Torin has a twin sister named Dani (who is 8 minutes older than him), and a 5 year old sister, Cammy. His mum is a home maker, and his father a lawyer. Both of them being Muggles. He definitely gets along better with his mum than his dad. And he and his sister have a bit of a rivalry, but they still love each other dearly despite their different personalities.
Silly girl! Nate thought to himself. She was scared of the metal detector. Nate smiled as he set his shoes and anything in his pockets in the bin. "Put your shoes and your purse in there. Take everything out of your pockets and put it in there. They will scan it for guns and knifes and things to make sure your not trying to cause harm. This doorway thing is a metal detector. It makes sure you don't have anything that belongs in there that isn't there." he said doing what he was explaining. "It won't hurt you. Just make sure you put everything into there." He pointed at the plastic blueish gray bin.
Nate walked threw the scanner and waited for her to come threw it. As soon as she had her shoes back on he held her hand in a way that said 'I won't let anything happen to you. I promise.' He rubbed his thumb over her ring and smiled.
Cadence felt a little better after Nate explained to her what they had to do and why, but then an odd idea hit her. She leaned close to him and whispered, "Nate, what about our wands?" She touched the stick of wood that was hidden in her back pocket, her shirt pulled down over it. Nate, however, hadn't heard her and walked right through the detector with no problem. She took off her shoes, earrings, necklace, and ring and put them in the bin. It was weird how naked her hand felt with her ring off. She hadn't taken it off since Nate had given it to her. She even wore it when she showered. Cadence had nothing in her pockets besides her wand, so she was good there. Surely there was some sort of spell put on wands so Muggle detection devices wouldn't see them. And then she sat her purse in the bin.
Walking through the detector, her body tensed up and she screwed her eyes up tight. When she got to the other side, she let out a big breath and just smiled at Nate. Putting all her jewelry and her shoes back on as quickly as she could, she asked Nate, "So, now what? Do we get on the airplane?" When he took her hand, she felt the familiar warm tingling spread through her body. Relaxing, she just looked at him and smiled, waiting for him to lead her forward.

Nate heard her whisper as he passed threw the detector. He decided to answer it when they sat to wait. Nate kissed her cheek as he walked out of the security area. "We actually have 30 minutes till our flight. We can go get a smoothie or something if you want." he said pointing at a small Starbuck's shop right next to a smoothie store. He was hungry and he knew she was. He hadn't seen her eat breakfast and he wanted to make sure she didn't pass out on him.

Cadence giggled a little as Nate kissed her cheek and pulled her along through the airport. "oo! I haven't had a smoothie in a really long time!" she said with a huge smile at him. She loved loved LOVED smoothies. Her favorite combination was peach, pineapple, banana, and coconut... all in the one smoothie. Delicious! As they neared the smoothie stand, she looked inside the Starbucks and saw the lemon poppyseed muffins in the display case and her stomach gave a little grumble. She probably should have eaten before she left Nate's house, but she had wanted to leave as soon as possible. She could tell that Nate didn't like being home in the slightest. Cadence didn't say anything to Nate about being hungry, though. She was sure they would probably get food on the plane, right?

"What kind of smoothie do you want?" he said as they reached the counter. He heard a grumble and looked down at her stomach. "Your hungry aren't you?" Nate tickled her stomach and pulled her to him. Nate ordered a strawberry and coconut smoothie. He loved strawberries. He wondered if Cadence liked strawberries dipped in chocolate. They had alot of those in Florida.

Cadence smiled at Nate and then looked back up at the menu, reading the drinks. She found the perfect smootie: Peach Fuzz. It contained all her favorite flavors. She looked at the lady at the counter and said, "I'll take a Peach Fuzz smoothie, please." She smiled at the woman and then turned back to Nate. "mm! Strawberries! That sounds good, too! I might sneak a drink!" she told him with a giggle. He wouldn't care if she stole a drank. If he didn't have her cooties by now, he wasn't going to get them ever. But Cadence had a feeling that Nate would be more than happy to have her cooties.
Then she giggled again. "I miiight be a little bit hungry," she said, holding up two fingers and showing him a little bit. Then her stomach gave another involuntary grumble and she laughed as Nate started tickling her stomach. "Stop! Stop! Okay! Yes! I'm hungry!" she managed to say through her laughter.

"What would you like to eat seeing how it is 3 am?" he said paying for their drinks. Nate picked up both their drinks and handed her her drink. Nate took a sip of his Strawberry Heaven as he led her to a the small leather airport seats located right outside of their gate. "Once they call first class, we will go threw that door to the plane. But for now we get to hang out here!" he said with fake excitement. He slid his coat off his shoulders onto her torso in effort to warm her. She was always so cold.

Cadence considered it for a minute. What did she want to eat? She took a sip of her smoothie as she thought about it. Hmm... "I want... a chocolate chip muffin!" she said as she followed him over to the chairs and sat down. As he got distracted by taking off his coat, Cadence snuck a drink of his smoothie. "mm! Yours is really good, too!" she said with a giggle. As he placed his jacket around her shoulders, she snuggled up close to him and laid her head on his shoulder, sipping her smoothie again. Her stomach was a little happier now that she at least had some smoothie to digest. As he explained what would happen when they called, she just nodded. The excitement and anticipation was bubbling up inside of her, but she just had one more question she wanted to ask. "Airplanes ARE safe, right? Like, people don't get hurt in them very often, do they?"

Nate laughed a little at her sneaking a sip. "Let me taste yours!" he said pulling it from her hands. He took a big gulp and gave it back. "Good!" he exclaimed nodding a little. Nate stroked her hair as she placed her head on his shoulder. Nate laughed a little at her nervousness. "Airplanes are completely safe dear. I would never let anything hurt you." he said kissing her forehead. She was so cute when she worried.
Soon they called first class. Nate held her hand all the way to the airplane. They met the pilot and sat in chairs half the size of a bed. Nate stared around the plane. This was the first time he had been in first class as well. He usually rode in coach because his uncle hated his parents but loved him. His uncle heard that just him and his lady were coming to Florida and gave him two seats.

Cadence giggled as he took her smoothie. "Hey! I took a sip of yours! You drank half of mine!" she said with a laugh. Not that she really cared in the slightest. Nate could have just about anything he wanted from her. As he began stroking her hair, she closed her eyes and relaxed at this common, affectionate gesture. She absolutely loved it when Nate played with her hair. Her short haircut had started to grow back out as it had been a couple months since she chopped it off. Nate hadn't said anything about it, but Cadence had already decided she was going to grow her hair back out for him. Having short hair had been fun, but she knew Nate had preferred her long hair. So, she had made the decision to let it grow back out without a word to him.
As her eyes were closed, she heard Nate say quietly that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. A smile of absolute contentment spread across her face. She knew, to the very depths of her soul, that Nate would never let anything bad happen to her if there was anything at all he could do to stop it. When they called for first class, Cadence bit her lip and smiled at him excitedly. She followed him onto the plane and into first class, attempting to take it all in. How could something this heavy fly without magic? That was hard for Cadence to imagine. She sat down in her comfy seat, but she saw one problem with it. After Nate's uncle left, she looked up and said quietly, "These seats are too big. You're too far away." She just sat there, looking into his eyes and smiling at him, absolutely thrilled to be heading to Florida finally.

Nate smiled at her statement and pulled the armrest up that separated the two of them. He scooted over and pushed her over gently so he could sit down. He then placed her on his lap and smiled. "Better?" he said before placing the seat belt around both of them. Nate felt the rush as the plane took off. He smiled at her before he stared out into the sky and clouds.

Cadence giggled as he moved over. "Is this allowed?" she asked, looking around and noticing that they were the only ones riding in First Class. Nevertheless, she allowed herself to be pulled into his lap and felt the seatbelt buckle around both of them. Cadence trouble believing that that seatbelt would be very effective if both of them were fastened inside it. "Can your uncle see us?" she said as she rubbed her nose against his. Right as she went to kiss him, though, the plane began moving, and Cadence closed her eyes tightly, grabbing onto Nate for dear life. As she felt the plane lift off the ground, she buried her face in his neck, still holding onto him tightly. When the plane leveled off, Cadence relaxed a little bit but she still didn't lift her head. Instead, she kissed his neck softly and just kept her head laying on his shoulder.

Nate smiled into her hair as she asked a question. "The door has to be closed to concentrate. He won't come out till we land. Oh! By the way it will only be 4:30 when we land so we are gonna have to wait for my grandma to pick us up till 7." he said lifting his head. Nate hugged Cadence back as the plane rose. Nate got goosebumps all over his arms and blushed as she kissed his neck. She had never kissed his neck before and he liked it. He had always been the one kissing. Nate got the chills in the good way as she kissed his neck and his shoulder.
Nate pulled his neck away from her to avoid wanting to snog her. "Want to watch a movie?" he said poking the different options of things to do while on their six hour flight.

Cadence giggled, noticing him getting a little flustered as she kissed him. She looked up at him with a flirtatious look on her face and bit her lip. "What's wrong Nateypoo?" she asked quietly before just laying her head back down. And then she sat up abruptly. "Wait? So, after we're trapped in this plane for six hours, then we have to sit in another airport for two and a half hours?" She groaned a little and then slumped back in the seat again. "Yeah, sure, we can watch a movie...." she watched him push all the buttons with an amused expression. He was obviously still extremely bothered. "...if you can figure out how to start it." She giggled and just laid her head against his shoulder as they watched the movie. The plane had been exciting at first, but now it was a little boring. She just wanted to be having fun with him.

Nate kissed the top of her head as they watched some chick flick he let Cadence pick. He thought it was funny in some parts but mostly it was some goopy love fest. He chose a action filled movie with some love in it. Both of the movies totaled to 5 hours. Nate played a game while Cadence slept that had something to do with little balls and points. Nate laid a blanket over her after a few minutes of him being sure she was out. He gently woke her as they were landing soon. "Babe, we are landing in Florida soon. Came you wake up?" he whispered into her ear.

Cadence drifted in and out as they watched the two movies. Something about Muggle transportation made her sleepy. Eventually, after she had managed to stay sort of awake through the first two movies, Nate began playing a video game, and Cadence was no longer amused by the long plane ride in the slightest. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep for a little bit.
After a very short time, she was woken up by Nate whispering into her ear and she giggled as she stretched a little. Turning her face, she kissed him, deciding after a second that she didn't want to pull away. So, she didn't. She just kept kissing on him, waiting on him to pull away from her. She felt a hot feeling spread through out her body and goosebumps popped up on her arms, neck, and back. As the kiss continued, she brought her hand to rest on chest, not wanting it to end ever.
Once the kiss had broken, Cadence stood up, stretching her legs. Her face was red and she felt a little, okay... really, warm. Grabbing her purse and jacket, she waited on Nate to lead her off the plane, into the airport, and out into Florida.

Nate was a little shocked by her kiss. Nate kissed her but knew his uncle was coming soon. He pulled away after 20 seconds. He didn't want to snog her right now. He wanted their first real real kiss to be special not on an airplane landing sweaty. Nate held her hand as she placed it on his chest.
Nate peeled the blanket off of them and realized how sweaty his was. He needed to take off his jacket and his skinny jeans. Nate stood as the plane landed, he held her hand and lead her out into the breezy Florida.
After eating a late lunch (though to Cadence it seemed more like brunch), Cadence and Nate found their luggage at the baggage claim and went outside to meet Nate's grandmother. The weather was perfect: sixty degrees and the sun was just starting to set. A cool breeze blew on them as they stood outside in the dimming light, awaiting the arrival of yet another person Cadence had never seen before in her life. She held Nate's hand for reassurance, though she wasn't nearly as nervous about meeting his grandmother as she had been to meet his parents. His grandmother seemed much warmer and more laid back. Cadence didn't see her being judgmental as as much of a threat.
She watched as the Muggle cars passed and wondered how they would be getting to Nate's grandmother's house. And what would her house look like? Cadence was pretty sure she had a fair amount of money. Would her house be on the beach? Would they be able to watch the sunset from the porch? The totality of what Cadence had done suddenly hit her. She had defied her grandparents, lied to them, and come across the ocean to Florida to spend some quality time just being young and in love and having a great time. Cadence couldn't help but smile as she looked up at Nate. She stood on her tiptoes, kissed him on the cheek, and went back to watching for the grandmother she had never seen.

Iris walked through the back door of her house with book in hand and laid it carefully on the kitchen island and took her reading glasses off and let them hang around her neck on the sea shell chain a neighbor kid had made her. She was in a very relaxed mood, reading on the back porch watching the waves crash softly up on the beach was usually a relaxing scene to be in. She made her way over to the pitcher of tea, ready to pour herself another glass of ice cold tea; she eyed the door to the living room where she kept her cabinet of drinks in. She thought better of it for the time being, she was into the book she was reading and didn't want to get too distracted from it. Upon reaching for the pitcher she looked at the clock and nearly apparated right there on the spot, she was running terribly late. So terribly late she could have smacked her own hand.
"Oh dear me!" she exclaimed to herself as she hurried about her house trying to find those darn keys to the muggle contraption. Finally upon finding them on the key hook beside the door she shut the front door tightly and went to her car. She got in it carefully, making sure she didn't fall or anything, that would be a disgrace in front of her neighbors, let alone muggles in general. Once in the car she looked in the mirror just to make sure her hair looked okay. Seeing her hair to be just like she liked it,wild and crazy, she started the car for the near hour trip to the...muggle air contraption thing.
She had kept the windows down from the time before she had driven the contraption, and was content with the wind blowing through the car as she drove. She was a bit excited to see...."What's his name?" she asked herself. She thought for a moment. Still not thinking of it she shook the the train of thought from her head and continued on until she got to the airport.
Parking was one of Iris' least favorite things to do. Everyone took the good spots, she always had to walk a long distance. Like today for example. She got out as fast as she could for an old woman and made her way towards the airport. Wondering if she was going to have to wait on that kid for ages or not like every other time she had to pick him up. Upon seeing a bench, Iris sat down waiting for her grandson to find her. She was not going in look for him. Shew as definitely not in the mood to walk all over that building with scads of muggles who didn't know what they were doing, had no fashion sense, or didn't have any manners. She sat there, with her hands folded in her lap, wishing she'd brought her book with her. Along with a hard drink, that was the only thing that was really going to fix this situation.

Nate huffed threw the airport carrying all their bags. He was already annoyed with all the tourist crap. Palm tree carpets & Sand dollar wallpapers? Really? "So what are you most excited for Florida?" he said setting the bags down as they stood outside the airport doors. He thought he spotted an old lady with fiery red hair rushing out of her car but he shrugged and looked back to Cadence. Then she kissed him on the cheek. "Well...Thanks?" he said smiling in a confused way.

Nate thought he saw an old woman sit down on a bench who he thought looked like his grandma. "Follow me Cady. I think that's her." he said picking up thier bags. Nate walked over to the woman in the bench and tapped her on the shoulder. A smiled appeared on his face as she looked at him. "Iris!" he said hugging her sweetly. She was the favorite of his relatives. She was funny and always up for fun.

Iris jumped in her spot on the bench. She hugged back her grandson who at the moment she still couldn't think of his name. She pulled back from his hug and stood up as quick as her old body would allow. "Doll face!" she exclaimed pinching his cheeks. "How are you doing ma' boy?" she asked giving him another hug.
And then she saw a girl follow behind him. "Did you get married?" she asked in a very quiet whisper so that only him and her knew what was being said. Sure, she hadn't seen her grandson for a few months, but her memory was lacking and no one seemed to tell her anything of importance lately.
She pulled back from the second hug and straightened her clothes out to make sure there no wrinkles in place. Iris turned slowly to the young woman, she cocked her head to the side and racked her brain, trying to figure out if she had possibly met this woman or knew about her before. Not coming up with a response she sighed thinking that maybe having a drink when she got home would help the thoughts come back to her and moved towards her.
"Miss Fitz Gerald." She told her as she hugged the woman, she was taller than the short aging Iris, well mostly everyone was now. Even most kids were at the age of ten. "Welcome to Florida!" she announced to the two of them when she pulled back from the hug.

And then she saw a girl follow behind him. "Did you get married?" she asked in a very quiet whisper so that only him and her knew what was being said. Sure, she hadn't seen her grandson for a few months, but her memory was lacking and no one seemed to tell her anything of importance lately.
She pulled back from the second hug and straightened her clothes out to make sure there no wrinkles in place. Iris turned slowly to the young woman, she cocked her head to the side and racked her brain, trying to figure out if she had possibly met this woman or knew about her before. Not coming up with a response she sighed thinking that maybe having a drink when she got home would help the thoughts come back to her and moved towards her.
"Miss Fitz Gerald." She told her as she hugged the woman, she was taller than the short aging Iris, well mostly everyone was now. Even most kids were at the age of ten. "Welcome to Florida!" she announced to the two of them when she pulled back from the hug.
Hmm... what was Cadence most excited about for Florida? Drive-in movies. But she would come up with something better. "Um... basically everything! I've never been to Florida before! So, I'm excited for the beaches and Disney World and Surfing and the drive in movies and walking on the beach and watching the sunset over the ocean and being able to wear my summer clothes..." Cadence just kept rattling on and on until Nate finally responded to her kiss on the cheek, "No, thank you for bringing me here. I really needed to get away. Go on an adventure! And spend time alone with you..." she said, looking at the ground.
And now Nate was dragging her around again! Was that his grandmother with the crazy red hair? Cadence hadn't been expecting that at all. As they approached, Nate called her Iris, and she found that strange. Why didn't he address her as grandmother or grandma at least? Oh well! She smiled as the old woman hugged Nate, and she giggled when his grandmother pinched his cheeks a little. Cadence tried to overhear the whispering, but couldn't tell what she said. Cadence stuck out her hand to shake Iris's, but was instead pulled into a hug just like Nate been. "It's nice to meet you Miss Fitz Gerald. I'm Cadence Ballard, Nate's girlfriend, but I'm sure he already told you that," she said with a genuine smile. Nate's grandma seemed like a lot of fun... and maybe a little crazy, but that was okay because Cadence was known to be a little crazy, too.

It's the way you're smiling at me. It's in the way you hold my hand.
It's the way I've watched you change me from a boy into a man.
It's a million things about you, and I don't know what it is. I have never known a love like this.

Iris stood there looking between the two. She didn't know what to think. No one told her that...Nate? Yes Nate's girlfriend was coming along with him this holiday. She rubbed her hands together wondering what they should do first. I really need a drink. was the first thing that went through her head. She internally shook it off and looked over at...Cadence.
"Well, no. Actually." She told her turning to look up at her grandson. "No one cares to tell me hardly anything of importance any more. It'd be nice if I got a letter every now and then!" Iris told Nate hoping he'd feel guilty of leaving his poor old widowed grandmother alone with nothing to go on.
"But anyway, that doesn't hinder the fact that I'm happy to have you here this holiday, Candy." Iris told her with a large smile. She brought a hand up to her hair, just to make sure the red locks were still in a messy state. Heaven forbid that they were neatly placed upon her head. She looked at Candy, not sure what her take was on her. She had short hair, something that Iris did not like at all. She sighed, knowing she was too judgmental at the moment and needed to loosen up a bit. A drink, perhaps. she couldn't help but think.
"Well come on then. We've got some stuff to do." Iris told the two as she began walking. They catch up with her in no time, she wasn't at all concerned that they'd get lost. She was more concerned that they'd loose her amongst all the people, she was very short after all.

Nate winced as she pinched his cheeks. Then he blushed extremely when she asked if he had gotten married. "I'm only 15 Iris! Gosh!" he whispered back before she moved on to Cadence. Nate was embarrassed about her question. It hadn't been more than a few months to a year that he had seen her.
Nate stepped back as she hugged Cadence. Nate held her hand and smiled at her announcing she was his girlfriend. He liked the sound of that. Nate was getting butterflies in his stomach. He wasn't nervous about Iris or Florida at all. It was what Cadence wanted to happen in Florida he was nervous about. He had never really snog a girl before. Would he hurt her? Would he disgust her? He had no idea!

He had no idea!
Cadence felt really, really bad that Nate's grandmother hadn't known she was coming, though Cadence WAS pretty sure that Nate had written to his grandmother and told her. Maybe she hadn't gotten the letter? She felt like she was imposing. Cadence blushed brightly and her stomach got a little anxious. What if Iris didn't want her here? This was not how she envisioned her time in Florida beginning. She looked over at Nate and was met with his reassuring smile and his hand holding hers. That definitely made her feel a little better. Then Iris called her Candy, and Cadence imperceptibly winced on the inside. She didn't like being called that it reminded her of ThatNikkiGirl who was friends with Nate. As she had already rudely surprised Nate's grandmother by showing up unannounced, though, so she didn't correct her. Perhaps Nate would? "Well, thank you for having me Miss Fits Gerald. I'm terribly sorry that you didn't know I was coming..."
Cadence began to feel Nate's palm get a little sweaty, but she made no sign that she realized it. She didn't mind. Was he nervous about something? Was he planning something for tonight? Cadence had expected them to just be chilling in his grandmother's house for the night, but maybe he had something special in mind? Butterflies started fluttering in her stomach. Were they going to the drive-in tonight? Cadence's heart started beating really fast, and she swallowed hard. However, she didn't let her smile leave her face. Iris needn't know what fantasies were playing inside Cadence's head at the moment.

"I'm sorry Iris. I sent a letter with a school owl. They aren't very reilable especially overseas." he said picking up the bags surrounding them. Nate felt terrible she hadn't known Cadence was coming. Nate followed his grandma to wherever they were going. "Hey Iris? Do you think we could drop you off at the house and drive over to the drive-in movies? Cadence has never been to one before." he said winking at Cadence. The butterflies must have reproduced because his stomach was going crazy.

Nate felt his palm get sweaty as they held hands walking along the sidewalk. He let go of her hand and blushed as he wiped his hand on his jeans. He sort of looked at the ground as he slipped his hand back into hers. He tried to tell himself it was just the heat but he knew it was how nervous he was.
