OOC: Alrighty. I'm gonna take a bit of a break here. I have a few assignments and stuff. Can I leave and catch up later? Won't take more than two weeks.
 
OOC: I'm so slow... ;-;

Raelin sat up, dusing off her robes in front of her little brother, Irving - and her mother. She grimaced. No matter how many times, she could never really get used to Floo powder. She preferred FLYING, even - over this. (And that was saying quite a bit, seeing that she despised flying.) But - she thought, Just seeing the sight of Mysterium square cheered her up. A big deal.

Irving ran out, dashing through the crowd. "Irving!" her mother scolded, running after him. Raelin sighed, glancing at her school supply list. "I'll meet you at Gringotts, Mom!" she shouted after her mom's retreating shadow.

After extrating some money from the bank, she headed to the shop of Kinderflame, where her mother was already waiting, with Irving sitting unhappily in one of the chairs. "Hi Mom." she greeted. Her mom opened her mouth, then closed it. "Young lady - I'll lecture you when you get home." she said sternly, then turned around - facing the window.

"Here, try this!" the over-enthusiastic shop assistant exclamed to the surprised girl - "Unicorn hair, willow, 10 inches!" she finished, thrusting a want into her wand hand. Raelin glanced at it curiously, than gave it a wave.

She gasped as red and gold sparks emerged from the tip of her wand, her face lightning up in delight. Even her mom was smiling, and Irving was dancing in the sparks.

"Now, that'll be 10 gallons!" she heard the shop clerk exclaim. But still, that was not important. She was going to school! To learn magic! A smiled faintly appeared on Raelin's face.
 
Since Raichu Master is offline, I guess I'll just post again...

"What!?" Kiri's mom said running in from the kitchen. "Look at this!" Kiri replied, showing her mom the letter. Her mother went pale and looked as though she was about to faint. "Oh...oh my gosh!" She said, looking at Kiri with astonishment. Kiri smiled at her mom, hoping that she'd accept the fact that her daughter would be going to this school. She didn't know what her mother's opinion was on this kind of thing. "Well...This is amazing!" Her mom said, smiling. "I guess I'll let you go..." She had a worried look on her face now. Kiri knew what she was thinking. "I'll be careful mom! I won't use these powers recklessly!" She said, a pleading look on her face. Her mother sighed. "Alright...Write to me okay?" She said, a stern look on her face. "I will!" Kiri replied excitedly. She hugged her mom and sat on the couch to look at her school supplies list.
 
?You still haven?t got your books!? Rei yelled at her twin sister, lifting the pile of books in her arms into the bag as she left the book shop, her twin trailing behind with a bored look on her face. ?Nope?I got my pet though! Check ?im out!? With that, Aisha pulled a small olive lizard out from her pocket and watched as it ran across her small fingers ?Isn?t he cool!?

Rei shook her head and pushed past her sister to go and find her mother who said she would meet them outside the wand shop where they were to receive the wands identical to their magic skills. ?Mom won?t be happy, Lisha? She warned her twin.

Aisha sighed and turned on her heel back in the direction of the book store ?Fine, fine Ill go and get them now, geeze?

Rei smirked having gotten the upper hand in the argument. She pushed past the crowd of people towards her mothers figure and smiled up at her upon her arrival outside of the wand shop. Her mother asked almost immediately ?Where is your sister??

Rei handed the bag of books to her mother and jolted a thumb over her shoulder back in the direction of the book store ?Still getting her books? She answered, a smirk playing on the edges of her lips. ?Can I get my wand now??

Her mother sighed and checked her watch, they were running late and the twins still hadn?t gotten their wands. She gave an exhausted nod and Rei was gone in the next millisecond.

The shop was small and dank from what she could see, wands were cluttered into every space and some were even scattered on the floor having been discarded by others upon their visits. Rei snarled, one thing she hated was clutter and untidiness.

There were sounds of falling footsteps coming from the back of the shop and in seconds a tall, scrawny man appeared from behind a shelf, stamped ?Duds?.

He smiled down at his young customer and gave a slight bow ?Good morning, young miss, and how can I help you this fine day?? His voice was along the lines of a growl which made the hairs on the back of Rei?s neck stand on end. She gave a shaky, almost unsure smile and nodded ?Um, yes?I?m starting my first year at Chimney rock and I need a wand?

?Well of course? He said, hoping back from where he once came. Rei heard the slide of old leather followed by footsteps and the man was back in her sight once again ?I believe this one may be to your liking? he stated, opening the leather bound box and presenting her with a wooden wand ?7 inches, made with Dragon heartstring?

Rei took her wand and studied it with much interest before giving it a wave. She watched as the dank and grimy windows washed themselves down with a sparkle of stars and aloud light to shine in through the now clear squares of glass. She grinned and turned her head back in the direction of the sales man.

?I?m not normally that lucky? He stated, causing Rei to tilt her head in wonder ?Normally I end up with a few cracked windows before they finally get the right wand? This caused Rei to laugh and she dropped a few coins onto the counter.

?Thank you sir? she bid her farewells and exited the shop excitedly, only to come in contact with Aisha who was wearing a very dark look?apparently their mother had not acted nicely towards her tardiness. Aisha pushed her way past Rei and into the shop without saying a word.

It took them three quarters of an hour to gather the rest of their supplies and make it to the platform. Their mother was uttering curses under her breath and the twins were running at her side to keep up with her long strides.

They bid their hasty farewells and boarded the train after having their cases taken away from them by the train staff. Aisha still held her pet Lizard in her hand and Rei had settled on brining her pet mouse, Cheddar aboard as well; not wanting to leave a living mouse in the back with god knows what else.

They made their way towards the front of the train, trying to find a compartment that had not been taken, only to come across one around half way down the train. Aisha took to the window seat and set Gex down on the table, Rachel mimicked her movements, but kept her mouse clutched to her lap, not wanting her to come in contact with the mangy Lizard.
 
I took the offered hand, shaking it as I replied, "Seth would be my name. Seth Merrel. I take it you too are attending Chimney Rock?" An attendant came by with another wand. I casually brushed her away, muttering, "Later." To Riz, I turned and added, "Hey, I'm done shopping, once we're done here, wanna go get something to drink?"

I laughed slightly, a wry grin coming across my face as I then added, "By the by, Riz, you ain't so bad looking when you're not getting hit with a magazine."
 
Slightly shocked, Riz felt a heat rise to her cheeks. She resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at him, but instead cuffed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Uh... Sure," she stammered. "That'd be alright."

I turned to my Grandmother, and told her that I'd be running off with Seth for awhile. She was thrilled that I'd made a friend. I turned back to Seth and folded my arms over my chest.

"You're not too horrible to look at either, Seth. THen again, said magazine has skewed my vision a bit," I laughed.
 
I laughed and said jokingly, "It MUST be skewed if you don't mind looking at me." During the interim, whilst Riz was talking to her grandmother, I'd tried out a wand of my own, one that finally worked. I'd purchased it quickly as well, not wanting to miss out on any time with Riz. I twirled it a bit and stuck it into my pocket. Yew and dragon heartstring, thirteen inches. Very, very powerful. I grinned inwardly, wanting a chance to look at that spellbook now.

But for the moment, I had some time to spend with Riz, and that spellbook was nothing to be opening here anyways. I jokingly offered her my arm and asked, "Shall we, then?"
 
Slightly unnerved, I took his arm. "We shall," I said with a laugh, not portraying my uneasiness. I did, however, blush furiously.

Grandmother giggled at us and waved us off. I stuck my tongue out at her as we went. This was so strange... I mean, well, I'd never really gotten very close to anyone lately, just because of my being so busy. And now, before I was even on the train to the place I'd so desperatly wanted to be, I had made a friend. And, from the way he was acting, perhaps more. THAT thought unnerved me a little more.
 
I giggled a little as well, a blush almost making it through my tan. I laughed in truth now, leaving the shop with Riz and stepping into the din of the square.

In the confusion and mass of people attempting to buy their school things, or buy school things for their children, it was rather hard to avoid not walking into anyone, particularly if two people were attempting to move as one. Indeed, a bare two minutes or so after leaving the shop (and walking in a somewhat uncomfortable silence, for me at least.), I ran into someone rather taller and much more solid than I. Not having seen who it was, I apologized profusely, until I heard my brother's voice saying, "You're all right, kid, I don't mind." Lauging, I looked up into Michael's face, also seeing him with his arm wrapped around Eric. I nodded to his boyfriend with a small smile, I rather liked the kid.

I turned to Riz, glad of a topic of conversation and said, "Riz, I'd like you to meet my brother, Michael." Th thought of what she might think of who he was suddenly flashed across my mind, my brother was open about it with everyone but our family. My eyes widend slightly, a little worried.
 
Riz smiled. "Nice to meet you, Michael. And, what's your boyfriend's name?" she asked gently, still smiling at the pair.

It didn't perturb her in the slightest. She too, had her own feelings of sexuality confusion. She thought she was fine now. It had all been in her past. Over now, not to be worried about again. She gave a little giggle as she looked over Seth's older brother and boyfriend.
 
"This would be Eric." Michael said, flashing Riz a grin. I sighed, rather relieved as she seemed to take it as no more than a matter of course. My brother leaned down and whispered softly, "Perceptive little thing, she is. You sure you can han- OW!" I laughed a little, having just kicked him in the shins as I replied, "It's noit like that, okay! Yet..." I almost blushed again, I must admit, it felt rather nice.
 
Riz felt herslef blushing. "Uh... we were going somewhere?" she prodded gently. She smiled at Eric.

"Nice to meet you, too, Eric!" she said, taking Seth's hand again and tugging on it. "Gonna keep a girl waiting?" she said playfully. She noticed Tolati had followed her, and she promply released Seth's hand to scoop up her little black lab pup.
 
I giggled as she did so, though in truth, I missed the contact. I said happily, "I believe we were, until we met this dwonk." gesturing to my brother, still hopping a little in pain. I added, "I didn't have any particular plans, though, anywhere you want to go, Riz?"
 
Riz giggled as Tolati licked at her cheeks. "Not really. Grandma and I don't get here often, so I don't really know my way around."

She smiled softly at him and playfully linked her arm with his again, letting Tolati follow around my ankles. "Lead the way, oh great Seth!"
 
"Great, of course I am!" I replied teasingly, moving off through the crowd. As I did so, I heard a shout. I laughed as I caught Michael's words.

"You little punk! You'll pay for that on the train!" I only laughed harder at this, in truth we were rather close. He wouldn't hex me too bad.
 
Riz giggled a bit, looking at Seth. Tolati barked and chased a few leaves down the street. "Why'd you kick him anyways?" she asked quietly, giving him a mock-serious look. Truth be told, she wanted to know. She hadn't really heard what he'd said... but it seemed to get a decent reaction out of Seth. She'd even thought she'd caught a glimpse of a blush...
 
I DEFINATELY blushed this time, stammering, "Oh, that.... nothi... It was nothing, just a little teasing." I turned to her, stopping outside an ice cream shop, trying to cover myself. I placed a hand behind my head and said with a would-be causual grin, "You wanna get a milkshake or something? My treat."
 
OOC: I'm going to have to agree with RM on this one, Radical Edward. I'm really sorry, but he is absolutely right. I can't approve until you show more detail and thought in your post.

Sorry to everyone for moving ahead so fast. PC has been down for days at a time for me, so I figured I'd get far enough ahead so I wouldn't have to play too much catch up. I don't have a problem waiting for everone else, and my character is kind of aniti-social anyway, so I'm sure she won't mind sitting by herself for a while :-P
 
OOC: My first non-multipage post here! YAYNESS for everyone who actually read my post! XD

IC: ?Nice robes!? Matt commented as he put his wand in the pocket of his robes and shifted his eyes up and down Becca to fully view the simple design and rich colors of her new robes.

?Thanks,? Becca said with a faint blush creeping up in her cheeks as the others nodded in agreement. ?I just thought they looked nice, so I figured why not?? she tried to explain.

?Now it?s off to Bott and Boggle for your books and other school supplies,? Charles interrupted, saving his daughter from any more embarrassment. He looked over at his wife, who got to her feet and gave a nod of approval as they made their way out of the shop.

Passing several other curious looking stops that caught the children?s eye, on in particular, called ?Fangs, Fur, and Feathers?. ?Mum, dad, can we get pets too?? a small voice said from behind the two parents, who seemed to move on. Charles and Elizabeth turned around in surprise to find that Kelly was the one to voice the question.

?After we get your books,? Elizabeth replied as they continued and then entered the store titled ?Bott and Boggle Bookstore?.
