ooc: Shall I start then? Oh, and I hope no one minds if I play Astoria and Draco when they are needed...? Louis heaved his trunk easily up to the train, then slid into a compartment, followed by Albus. He stretched out across the seat, grinning at Sev. " 'S gonna be a good year, mate." His French-tinged British accent was immensely enjoyable to listen to. His thoughts flickered onto the Malfoy girl, but he replaced them with mischievous others in case she was around. He had heard she was quite the Legilimens, and he couldn't take any chances. Sev tore through the train behind Louis, his permanent grin widening as they plopped into a compartment. It seemed a lot smaller, though neither could understand exactly why, it was simply that they had grown impossibly over the summer. "Quittitch..." Asp breathed in husky worship at Will's comment, though he had an inkling that wasn't the only thing Louis was implying. They were told often by his mother (and Will's dad) that they were made rather like the mold of Uncle George and his twin Fred. They had never actually seen the two in action, but their favorite uncle had given the two some ghastly good ideas, and neither Louis nor Albus doubted the likeness of themselves and their predecessing, troublemaking uncles. A few people stopped their conversations almost unconsciously to look as Astoria and her beautiful offspring stepped gracefully through the barrier. A few more, (all witches), hushed and took a look in the direction of her husband, who followed. Astoria looked through beautiful hooded eyes at her daughter, who nodded as unspoken words were exchanged. The platinum blonde hair, like cornsilk, lifted lightly from the girl's neck in the slight gust from the east, and she turned to her father, who could not mask his affection for her. She smiled, a beautiful thing untainted by a sneer or smirk, and embraced him, something few had ever done. He produced a hummingbird for her, before turning to his sons. Those still peering at the elegant family might have been mollified towards the Malfoy's for such a tender scene, but they were soon put back in place by poisonous looks from the alluring Astoria, and Draco's talk of pureblooded pride.
Astoria was speaking to La Perla, this time verbally; there was little time before the train arrived, and the house elves were hauling their trunks hastily to the train. "Few are satisfactory, my Pearl, do not fall to resort to the scum around you. They will fall for you. Stay proficient in Legilimency, and your grace and presence." The latter was unnecessary advice, as was proven by those still gazing at the Malfoy daughter, who was more than endowed with poise and finess. She kissed her mother's cheeks, and said her goodbye's, and with another embrace with Lord Draco, she set off (gracefully, of course) with her equally alluring siblings. |
