| | The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival is here for the first time in Diagon Alley.

| | |  Carnival Stalls & Vendors
 Scattered on both sides of the main stage are the carnival's biggest money makers. The stalls and vendors. The lights, bells and whistles from each stall seem to mesh together, drowning out the sounds of the petting zoo nearby, but maybe not the smell? There's hoopla, coconut shy, weight guessing, pinball racing, and of course the infamous test your strength stalls, just to name a few, all with a magical twist. For those who'd prefer a moving picture as a keepsake to the mini stuffed animal they won as a consolation prize, there's faceless standees: humorous cardboard cutouts that come in pairs or groups of three in various sizes. The photographer stands ready to snap your silly photos and greedily accept your money.
For those who'd rather not waste their time with frivolous games, and just want the big prize, there are vendors just for selling merchandise, though they do cost a pretty sickle. While there are a few vendors selling various confectioneries intended to rot your teeth to the core, both magical and mundane, many are selling knickknacks. Some vendors sell questionable jewelry and pretty trinkets, along with glowworm sticks. Others have oversized and miniature wizard hats, sunglasses intermixed with the large stuffed animals and magical balloons. And then there are those that sell magical firecrackers that the carnies suggest waiting to set off until you get home. They may have been rumored to have sent wizards to Mungo's for minor burns, but what do the carnies care? It's not as if they're liable for any of you lot.
The carnies aren't the only ones attempting to sell items. A few of the vendors belong to your local shopkeepers attempting to sell items such as sparkler wands and glow in the dark wand holsters.
Wander around with your friends, and have fun! Just don't get a bad case of sticky fingers. OOC: Feel free to interact with the Carnival Stalls & Vendors wandering Carnie, Slick Gibbins (Anna Banana), chat, play and win a prize! 
Remember that Snitchseeker site rules and the Diagon Alley Rules apply at all times. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Diagon Alley Questions thread. | |

Delilah didn't need protecting, she could kick butt. But it was sweet and she was going to let Robbie think that she did. "Where first?" What, didn't she think he was a studmuffin? Why was she dating him if he wasn't? PFFFFFFT!
Robbie hem-hemmed a little, miffed at the hair ruffling, but liking the attention all the same. He nudged his head toward one of the booths, a wet one at that. "Fancy getting wet? I bet you'd look real good in that dunk tank booth."
Heh. She would.

I thought he'd met his match in you, seems he's too scared!' Rose giggled.

The first place she went to explore were the stalls and the vendors, of course. And she wasn't alone either. Elijah was admiring everything as he was in her small bag, and to her surprise, he wasn't even trying to escape. Well... what would the others think if they'd see a tiny lizard move around Diagon Alley on its own will?
Since she was distracted by everything that was surrounding her, she didn't quite pay attention to what she was stepping on.
... until she felt something awkward... feet.
Why did she keep stepping on people's feet?!
The girl gasped and stepped away quickly, and then turned around to see on whose feet she stepped this time. At least she didn't scream, which was an improvement. But... she had to look uuuuup, of course, since she was so short. "I - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to -" give you a bad feet..ache?! Nice. That was juuust nice. So many prizes to win and just for him! AWESOME! just like him. If he had a girlfriend of course he would try to win something for her but since he didn't everything was for him or...for her annoying sister. Amelia would get mad if she knew he was here and he bought her nothing, but she didn't have to know, right? RIIIGHT so nothing for her.
The place was cheerful, every wizard and witch was enjoying and who wouldn't? The weather was perfect and he felt like nothing could go wrong. Nikolas stopped by this huge stall and he was about to admire everything in it but...someone stepped on his feet. OUCH. He looked around to see who had done it, his feet was hurting but wasn't to show any sign of pain. Nikolas finally found the cause of this...it was a girl, younger than him. He wasn't going to yell at her "Better watch out next time" he replied "But it's okay, it wasn't that bad" he hoped.

Nora nodded quickly, but still felt terrible. " I'm sorry," she mumbled again, promising to herself that she'll never look up again when she was walking. It would be just the ground and her feet. Nothing else to stare at.
" What is this place?" The girl asked before she could stop herself, trying to keep her voice down. " I mean... has it always been here?" She was talking about the carnival, of course. Let's just hope that he'll think about it as well, or else they'll have a really stupid conversation.

Elaina was getting back into the Wizarding World and there was no better place than to go to Diagon Alley. With a pocketful of gold, she went out in search of a few things here and there, but she never expected to come across a carnival. "Oh, how wonderful!" she said to herself.
She couldn't help, but find herself drawn the vendors. She was always looking for the next little trinket to go around her neck or accessory to show off. Candy? She had no taste for it. Firecrackers? No, way too dangerous. Stuffed animals? Those must be for the kiddies. And then she stopped in front of some jewelry. They weren't your typical styles sold in muggle stores. "Is there anyone around to help me with a necklace?" She looked to her right and left and hoped someone nearby could help her as she clutched her small purse in her hand.

'I should think not.' Rose said plainly. 'No-one should be rude to anyone, it's just plain...' Rose tried to think of another word than 'rude' but settled with it, 'rude!' Rose laughed.
'Well, thank you, Sir Mordred, your acceptance means a lot!' Rose giggled, courtseying. 'Well, I'm not rude, unless someone gets on my wrong side.' Rose said darkly, glancing at William.
'HEY! You'll know! What's a Veela?' Rose asked Mordred. 'I remember his mum telling me they were all Veelas, what does that mean?' Rose asked, cocking her head to one side. He nodded to Rose as she curtsied. "You're welcome." he grinned. "Nobody talks rubbish to my face. They're not worth my time." he said as he glanced at William's direction. "He must have thought that I don't have the guts to tell it to his face." he shrugged. "Heh. Wrong move from him. I don't know him and he's not my friend anyway. What's there to lose?" he smirked and scratched the side of his head with his finger. "Veelas? If you know your Greek Mythology, Veelas are part human, part sirens. They are beautiful creatures, no doubt. But they've got a nasty attitude." he said seriously. "But to me, they're nothing special." he added. Quote:

But I'll be watching."

"Oh really!?" Elaina flashed the young man a smile. He was very handsome, a bit young, but something about him seemed rather sweet. She clutched her purse in her hand and was anxious to use the coins inside. "I would be happy to have some assistance from someone with some expertise." Elaina had her eye on one with green and blue jewels, but he was curious to this man's taste. Plus, if he liked something maybe that meant other guys would. "Which one do you think would look nice?"

He was being rather flattering. He did say he likes to make the ladies look good. That was awful sweet of him. "Well, stranger... I must say you have impeccable taste for such a young man of your age." She raised an eyebrow. Was that her hand on his arm? WOW! He must work out. Her eyes were practically bulging out of her eyes. "Sorry." She quickly removed her hand. "Um...could you please do me a favor?" She put her purse in the pocket of her dress. She could feel a little tug from the weight of the coins. "Could you please put this..." she picked up the one he mentioned, pulled her hair off to her right shoulder, then handed him the necklace, "...on me?" Elaina giggled again like a school girl.

Why do most of the Slytherins hate the Gryffindors and most Gryffindors hate Slytherins albeit relationships? You guys don't seem so bad!' Rose grinned nudging him "A Slytherdor?" he repeated with amusement. He never thought of the idea. "Maybe. But I am a Slytherin all the way. I won't let get anything on my way, if I badly want it." he said grinning. "And just like what happened earlier, it's the perfect example of someone stepping on a snake. It will bite him without second thoughts. That's how we are. We strike when provoked." he said in a proud tone.
A gust of wind swept over them and Rose trembled a little. "Why did you not bring one?" he asked. Suddenly remembering his etiquette, he removed his Slytherin cloak and offered it to Rose. "Go on." he said with a grin. "Be a Slytherdor for a day."
He then tried to think of a clever answer to her question. "Well, some people were born and made to be evil. Something about balance and all that." he said as he looked at the sky. "This place will be boring if everyone's good and perfect. Right?"
Why do Slytherins hate Gryffindors? "Well, there are some in your house that can get really arrogant. Just because Harry Potter was in your house." he said bluntly. "Just like what I said, not everyone's perfect. We have a fair share of arrogant students in our house as well. And I'm sure the Huffs and the Ravenclaws have them as well."
he shrugged. "But Gryffindor and Slytherin students are the two of the most competitive houses in Hogwarts. Hate between the houses is expected." "I'm hungry." he said as he placed his hand on top of his stomach. "You said you know your way around here, right? How about we get something to eat? My treat." he offered.

Lauren ambled slowly down the aisle of stalls and vendors, trying her hardest to absorb everything: all the colours and sounds and delicious smells!
She really wished her father had joined her shopping today, this was the type of thing that he absolutely lived for. Perhaps she should buy him a souvenir!
Meanwhile, she scanned the crowd for anyone her age, keen to meet any peers before she had to live with them!

Ari wasn't sure how she'd react upon seeing people with extra limbs or weird sizes, but she appreciated Rose's suggestion anyway. ' Thanks, I'll make sure to go there later.' she replied, smiling.
' So you've known him almost as long as I have. We met at Scribbulus'. I couldn't reach the top shelves.' the girl remembered with a grin. 'Hey, who's that girl William is dating? Is she in our House?' Ariadne wondered out loud. Quote:

"Oh you enjoy reading too?!" This got her excited. Everyone else she seemed to know hated to read. "I'm an absolute fanatic when it comes to books! I'll read anything and everything, though I do enjoy Hogwarts: A Histoy. That's always a good read." In fact she had it in bag right now. She'd lost count of how many times she'd read it. "What about you?"
"Oh it's fine." Emily said blushing slightly "I just like to help people out if they're stuck. It's nice to be nice after all!" That was becoming something of a motto for her at the moment.
"You want to be a wandmaker? That's so cool!" She was being serious. She'd read a few books on wandlore and it sounded very exciting. "I'm not sure. This may be surprising but I've always found dragons interesting! Mabye I'd go work with them or something..." She hadn't really given much thought into a future career, but that was something that had always stayed in her mind since she'd first read about them. ' They definitely seem more than when I started school, or maybe they're just tinier?' But no, that wasn't possible, as Ariadne herself was one of the tiniest girls Hogwarts has ever seen.
' I guess it's because of my mother; she's a bookshop owner, I practically grew up amongst books.' Ari explained her passion for reading. She nodded when Emily mentioned Hogwarts: A History, as it was one of her favourites as well. ' I enjoy historical books the best.' Speaking of which, she really needed to get a new book to read on the way to Hogwarts. 'It's nice to be nice indeed.' Ari laughed. It was something rather obvious, but she'd never thought of it before. Emily seemed like a really cool person. 'Wow, dragons? Sounds dangerous, no wonder you're a Gryffindor if that's what you want to do in life!' Ari said, amazed. Quote:

If you read it wrong, or interpreted it wrong-- the dead mummy will be doomed. You don't want that to happen." he said as he shook his head. "Although, I found this manuscript from their local market. They don't know the author, they don't even know the language used!" he said as he scratched his nose. "Did you just see what happened?" Mordred asked about how William confronted him. "No wonder you don't like his behavior." he said as he kept a mental note about this boy. ' I asked for permission because until last year I wasn't used to hugs either, but in my case it was because I was rather antisocial. I can't say I'm super friendly now, but at least I've changed for the best.' Ari felt like she could confess this to Mordred. 'You're right, of course. I haven't thought about that.' she commented while studying the manuscript her Slytherin friend was holding. ' Hmm. Very interesting. Maybe if you talk to Madam Donovan she might help.' Ariadne suggested, as she was pretty fond of her Head of House.
' He had no right to talk to you like that. It was outrageous!' Ari said, annoyed. ' If he hadn't treated me like an invisible person, I would've given him a piece of my mind. You acted right.' she added, noting that it was really tacky of William to be parading in front of Rose accompanied by his new girlfriend.

I won't let get anything on my way, if I badly want it." he said grinning. "And just like what happened earlier, it's the perfect example of someone stepping on a snake. It will bite him without second thoughts. That's how we are. We strike when provoked." he said in a proud tone.
A gust of wind swept over them and Rose trembled a little. "Why did you not bring one?" he asked. Suddenly remembering his etiquette, he removed his Slytherin cloak and offered it to Rose. "Go on." he said with a grin. "Be a Slytherdor for a day."
He then tried to think of a clever answer to her question. "Well, some people were born and made to be evil. Something about balance and all that." he said as he looked at the sky. "This place will be boring if everyone's good and perfect. Right?"
Why do Slytherins hate Gryffindors? "Well, there are some in your house that can get really arrogant. Just because Harry Potter was in your house." he said bluntly. "Just like what I said, not everyone's perfect. We have a fair share of arrogant students in our house as well. And I'm sure the Huffs and the Ravenclaws have them as well."
he shrugged. "But Gryffindor and Slytherin students are the two of the most competitive houses in Hogwarts. Hate between the houses is expected."
"I'm hungry." he said as he placed his hand on top of his stomach. "You said you know your way around here, right? How about we get something to eat? My treat." he offered. 'Well, remind me never to step on you then!' Rose laughed.
Then Mordred passed her his cloak. 'Proper gentleman aren't you!' Rose blushed. 'Are you sure? Won't you be cold?' Rose asked worriedly. 'W-Well, um, OK... thank you!' Rose beamed gratefully as she put the cloak around her shoulders. Warmth spread through her in a flash. 'OMGosh! Thank you!' Rose smiled. 'When you want it back, feel free to ask!' Rose grinned. 'I'm an official Slytherdor!' Rose lauughed. 'Right, I'm gonna hug you now, OK?' Rose laughed as she hugged Mordred.
Letting go of him she listened to him say about perfectness and stuff. 'I agree!' Rose nodded fervently. 'I'm not perfect, no matter what people say! I've always got friends complimenting me, you know 'Rose, everyone would like you, you're pretty and funny etcetera' and I'm just going, 'no, I'm not...'' Rose said. 'Whos Harry Potter? Is he that dude that defeated Voldemort? Well, you know, I don't hate you, right?' Rose told him, worried he might think she was prejudiced against Slytherins.
Rose beamed, realising how hungry she was. 'Sure! So, around the carnival, right?' Rose clarified. Quote:

'Yeah, it's awesome over there!' Then Rose laughed. 'So, he reached the top shelf for you, huh?' Rose laughed.
'That's Witsy. That's the one he dumped for me.' Rose said bluntly. 'I'm surprised she took him back, he left her for me, then tried to go out with someone else, then went out with a different person, then told another girl he liked her, then, when all options were out, he went back to her.' Rose laughed.

'Wow, dragons? Sounds dangerous, no wonder you're a Gryffindor if that's what you want to do in life!' Ari said, amazed. Emily laughed. "I dunno. Just as long as their not getting taller. I hate when people think I'm younger than I actually am." She was 13 for merlins sake! And just the other day someone asked if she was a first year. She hated being so small.
Emily squealed and almost jumped up in glee. "No way! You mam owns a bookshop?!" She was so excited she had met a fellow book lover like Ari. "If I knew someone who owned a book shop I don't think I'd ever leave!" she laughed. She wasn't kidding though. "Read many muggle books? I did before, of course, I got my letter." That really may her sound like a muggle born, but she didn't care. Wuthering Heights was one of her favourite books - She was even named after it!
She continued to roll the glow stick beween her hands as she smirked at Ari's reaction. "Thanks. I haven't really given it much thought to be honest, I just know they're my favourite magical creature... hey, if you ever need the heartstring for you wands..." She laughed again at the thought. How did they do that anyway?

"I'm not into socializing really, but it can get very boring." And lonely. He thought. "Who knew hugs can be great. Weird at first but it's calming." he said blushing a little. "I-I'm sorry I'm blabbing. It's just that, it's...well, new to me." he said looking away. "Of course, your head of house! I plan on visiting the library as soon as Hogwarts is open." Mordred then kept the manuscript. "I made a promise to Julian that I will return it to him if I fail on finding information about it." he said. "Oh, Julian is my cousin from Durmstrang. I'm not sure if I mentioned him to you already."
Mordred smirked and turned to see where the blond boy went. "Well, he was a coward. He thought I wasn't going to tell it to his face." Mordred grinned. "I was expecting more from him, since he was the one who confronted me." he said shaking his head. "What a prat." he thought. "By the way, Rose and I will get something to eat. You have to come along with us." Mordred smiled. "I don't know anything about muggle junk food." he said as he eyed the food stalls. Well, he's up for the challenge. He's one growing boy after all. "I don't know what's happening to me. I'm always hungry!" he confessed. Quote:

I'm fine without it." he grinned and placed his hands inside his pockets. "Return it if you think you don't need it anymore." he said as he stared at the Slytherin emblem on his cloak. "Sort of weird to see you in my cloak." he said as he looked at it. "Just be careful though, you might trip on it." he said as he noticed that his cloak was too long for her. He had to buy that new cloak from Twilfit since his old one's really short already. "Compliments are good. But don' let it get in to your head." he said as he tapped the side of his temple with his finger. "Some people can be unbearable just because they think they are perfect." he said frowning.
Mordred then stared at her. "You don't know who Harry Potter is?" he asked with surprise. "He was the one who defeated Voldemort, yes." he nodded. "They said in the books that he was supposed to be housed in Slytherin, but the sorting hat changed its mind and placed him in Gryffindor instead." he added.
Mordred tilted his head. "If you hate me, then you wouldn't be talking to me right now." he said with a grin. "I'd like to try the food this place has to offer. I suppose they sell muggle junkfood?" he asked. "Well, as long as it's edible, I'm game." he said as he looked at the food stalls. Quote:

Rose laughed.
Mordred looked from Ari to Rose. "What?" he said with a confused look. It looks like these girls have their own language. He tried not to listen to them anymore as he thought of the food that was waiting for them.

He tried not to listen to them anymore as he thought of the food that was waiting for them. 'I will! I know, I feel like a Slytherin!' Rose laughed as she did a terrible snake impression consisting of just hissing. She looked down. 'Oh, yeah! Wait, my mum taught me something!' Rose grinned. She took the hairclips out of her hair, rolled the cloak up and clipped it up. 'There! No tripping on you lovely cloak now!' Rose giggled.
'Oh, I know...' Rose said darkly thinking about William. HE thought he was perfect... Vain, is what Rose called it.
'Muggleborn, remember?' Rose asked with a 'duh!' expression on her face. 'Aw, your face then! Priceless! Well, there you go, Slytherins and Gryffindors are pretty much the sort of same thingy then, aren't they?' Rose smiled.
'I don't know, we were talking to William...' Rose grinned back at him.
'Yup, 'muggle' junkfood galore!' Rose said putting emphasize on muggle. 'Well, I'm going to have to insist on linking arms then! I'll feel like going on the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz, which I've always wanted to do!...' Hey! She could be Dorothy! Rose giggled. 'You coming Ari?' Rose grinned offering an arm out to her. Yes. Rose was a weirdo and proud!
Then Rose laughed as Mordred got confused about them talking. 'Basically, he's a player...' Rose laughed

She looked from the box to William, back to the box, "My mum's so cute, I told her about you before and she's really excited about meeting you, and she sent me this yesterday to give to you." She smiled handing it to William.
Witsy gave a curtsy as William complimented her. "My mum, made it for me. It's my favorite dress."
Inside the box was filled with a clear liquid. Turn it upside down, shake it, or trying to scoop it out by hand the water won't escape or disappear. The person holing it will see changes in the water (like color or even sometimes shapes or figures) only that person holding it can see. It's meant as a guide to whatever's on your mind. If you chose to have other people see what's in it with you they merely put their hands with you. Some of the water can evaporate depending on anger, the water lost doesn't get replaced but that once the box is completely empty, the entirety of it shifts to something different. "It's a little trinket, my mum used to carry, said it was helpful in good times." | |

"How have you been?" Ellie asked. They hadn't hung out in ages. It was really a shame because Fee was just so adorable. Herjenmie noticed that there were more small persons here than anywhere else in Diagon as he soared over the carnival. His large owl eyes searched for the small person his letter was for, completely ignore anyone and everyone else. It didn't take him long to find her, despite all the lights and noises.
With a soft hoot that was possible drowned out by all the carnival sounds, he gracefully descended, circling the girl overhead twice, and dropping the letter when she noticed his presence. He circled once more, and then gave his large wings a great flight, pulling himself back into the sky. Quote:  
To:: Ellie Johanson
From:: Presley Black
Dear Ellie,
In the few short hours I knew you, you made a profound impact on my young life, and I thought it was only right to let you know. Your sweet acceptance at what is possibly to come has changed my outlook on life. I want you to know that because of you, I'm working on learning to treasure every moment. I want to focus on the more important things, instead of spending a half-hour trying to decide what to wear, or something equally as useless. I want to thank you, for your kindness to me, and your kind words. I've decided to make it my goal to be as sweet as you, to treasure every moment. Thank you so much. You might not know it, but I'm sure you've touched many more lives than mine. I will mis you next year.
Presley Lynne Black
