A Grecian Summer

In the summer of 2063, July, Fabian Clark is heading to Mykonos; a small island off the southeast coast of Greece on a ministry cryptic assignment that he was congenial at concealing with studying Chimaera's breeding behavior and the possibility of collecting one egg to bring back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardy.

Macadrian Shackleton is on summer holiday between terms. Instead of returning to her lonely home in Scotland, she decides to visit her sister Adamaris, who is working as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts in Greece and enjoy today's popular upscale resort island.

Oblivious they are to what fate holds....

Macadrian's feet hit the stone of the fireplace with a thud and her luggage landed softly beside her. She wiped the ash from her eyes and opened them to find herself peering out into the most beautiful lobby of any resort she had ever been to (and that WAS saying something considering Macadrian is very well-traveled.) Stepping out of the fireplace, Macadrian levitated her luggage and "carried" it with her to the check-in desk.

Macadrian's eyes darted around the lobby, taking in her beautiful surroundings. She was so grateful to be someplace warm and sunny and... away. Once the school term had ended, Macadrian was faced with the choice of returning home - alone, visiting her parents or visiting her sister on location. She'd chosen the latter and was quite glad for it! After the term she had just experienced, thinking she was fired and meeting a colleague whose head she very nearly bit off despite how much she truly enjoyed his company, she needed a vacation - some time to clear her head and work on her tan.

Macadrian gave the receptionist her name and was escorted to her room. She opened the door to find crisp white linens hugging a very large bed. Next to the bed was a long white dresser with numerous drawers for her clothing. Above the dresser was a mirror, in which Macadrian saw her reflection and decided to immediately clean up before unpacking.

In her own private bathroom, Macadrian washed the ash from her face and put her long blonde wavy hair into a high ponytail. Knowing exactly where she wanted to go first, Macadrian retrieved her white bikini from her luggage along with a large beach towel, a chair, an umbrella, and a pair of large white sunglasses. Wrapping a sarong about her waist, Mac gathered her belongings and set out for the quiet Agrari beach...

Fabian sucked in the breezy summer air where he stood at the perch of the hotel's patio. It was a cloudless afternoon with the sun still hanging high to warm his face, lovely day for a tan.

He just returned to the hotel for a nice cold shower after his first meeting this morning, it went pretty well to him. Hopefully next morning would be just as good. He was prepared, he was ready.

His eyes caught a familiar blond in the lobby, and catching the sight of familiar females was never good news to him, even if it meant he never remembered their names. He slipped both hands into the pockets of his white linen shorts before he stepped into the sand and headed towards the beach, it wasn't very crowded in the hotel area, but it seemed rather inviting with the scattered white tables and sea blue tanning beds.

Walking further towards the sea, a less crowded area, seemingly more inviting than the rest the best place to sit and relax and ponder of.. decisions.

Resting on his back on one of the tanning bed, Fabian stretched his neck to make sure his face got as much sun rays as possible, the warmth just made it more gratifying.

It was an exciting day. Yes, indeed. Admaris practically bounced her way across her room as she gathered a few last minute items for her trip to the beach. Her sister, Macadrian or as she was so affectionately called Mac was finally coming to visit the island. Admaris had been waiting all morning for the time to arrive and it was finally here!

Shaking her razor cut blonde hair from her eyes, she glanced into the mirror. Maybe she should get highlights…a streak or two of a funky color, something that no one had. Maybe her sister could help her out in that department…She would definitely put that on the top of her list for conversation topics.

Admaris picked up her beach bag, filled with the essentials of the beach, not to mention a mirror for subtly checking out any good looking guys; which, Admaris had to admit, were not in shortage on this island. She had already had quite the exciting nights since her time spent here.

Ah, enough daydreaming. Her sister was probably already there and waiting for her. With an impish grin in the mirror, she slipped on a pair of sandals and then bounded out of her room and out towards the beach.

It was only minutes later that she was settling onto the white sand of the beach. She figured it best to simply wait for Mac here instead of beginning to look for her. They would probably end up losing one another before they found each other the first time.

With a chuckle, she pulled out a piece of paper with an intricate design on it, and began to study it under the bright overhead sun.

lemondrop13 · 01-13-2008, 03:43 AM

Macadrian slipped her sunglasses onto her face, practically obscuring the entire upper half of her head with their large size, and squished her feet into the sand. As she walked toward the water, she glanced to her left and right to take in her surroundings. The white sand beach and the vibrant blue-green of the water was breath-taking. She was in such awe of its beauty that she almost forgot she was supposed to be looking for her sister, Adamaris.

Squinting into the sun, she spotted just a few people lying out on the beach to her right. Turning in that direction, Macadrian walked slowly through the sand, glancing at her fellow beach-goers until she spotted a familiar face. She approached the woman slowly, dug her toes in the sand, and flicked her foot up hard. Kicking sand onto her sister's legs, Macadrian grinned and said in a ditzy voice, "Like, um, do I know you? You look awfully familiar..." Of course, she looked familiar - they were identical triplets, two of them anyway! Macadrian began laughing as she pulled her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose and added, "Miss me?"

**Granger1814** · 01-13-2008, 04:01 AM

Admaris continued to concentrate intently on the drawing in front of her; that is until a shadow overthrew the sun that was lighting the way for her progress. Glancing up as her legs were suddenly covered in sand, she grinned cheekily up at her sister. "Like, I don't know. You look kind of familiar too. Are you, like, an old school friend?" She imitated her sister's tone while she looked up at the miirror image of herself.

Laughing then along with her sister, she set the paper down next to her, securing it with her bag before she rose to a standing position. Pulling Mac into an embrace, she hugged her tightly. "I did miss you! I'm so glad you're here. You won't believe how excited I was while waiting for this day to come!" She stepped back. "Looking wonderful as usual."

"So." She tugged at her sister's hand to pull her down onto the sand as well. "What's been going on?"

lemondrop13 · 01-13-2008, 04:20 AM

Macadrian was so thrilled to see her sister, she was beaming brighter than the sun. Quickly they were hugging and the excitement she felt wanted to burst out of her. Smiling so large that her cheeks were beginning to get sore, Macadrian twirled about as Adamaris surveyed her appearance, curtsying when she received satisfactory marks.

As her sister tugged on her hand, Macadrian dropped her bag and replied, "Hang on. Before we start chatting, let me get set up." Macadrian reached into her beach tote and pulled out a giant pink umbrella, an umbrella much too large to have ever fit and been concealed by the tote without a bit of magic. She dug that into the sand and then set up a beach chair on which she laid a large beach towel. Untying her sheer sarong from around her waist and dropping it into the bag, Macadrian took a seat in her chair, turned her head to her sister, and said with a giggle, "OK, ready now! What's new with me? Well, my first term as a Hogwarts professor was... interesting. It was really great most of the time and I met some great people, some greater than others..." Macadrian trailed off but had that twinkle in her eye that only her sister would likely pick up on.

**Granger1814** · 01-13-2008, 04:37 AM

Admaris laughed again as Mac twirled around before ending her impromptu fashion show with a curtsy. Applauding lightly, she dropped back onto the beach towel she had set up while she watched her sister set up on the beach. It was just like her to be completely prepared, not an essential missing. Ooo! Pink. Maybe that would be her next highlight color. That was definitely a unique color. A streak through the middle perhaps….

Now replacing her drawing into her beach bag, Admaris turned back to her sister with a smile as she began to recount her first term. “That’s wonderful! I’m glad that you were able to meet such great people, make so many friends. Now it won’t be so awkward to go back for the next term.” She remarked as she stretched her legs in front of her again.

When she glanced back at Mac, she couldn’t help but notice that familiar gleam in her eyes. “Wait a minute…Some greater than others? Ooo.” She giggled. “Do tell. Every detail.”

Mamushkaleontti · 01-13-2008, 04:42 AM

He was really lost in his thoughts, reality was such an echo in his head, jumping from memory to the other. Planning the future, working over the present when he heard them. Two females arrived, disturbing his lone time and the swishing sound of the water on the sand. One of the voices was rather familiar, the accent too. Funny how one can be far away from home and still have a person holding his accent right beside him. Yes, Greece was that popular..

But that female voice was rather familiar, his mind was racing to put a mental picture with that voice.

lemondrop13 · 01-13-2008, 04:56 AM

Macadrian quickly realized that her sister had picked up on the subtle glint in her eyes and jokingly slid her sunglasses back up to hide herself. She smirked at Adamaris and began telling her about her entire term, "Well, yes, some of them were greater than others... I became friends with a really great guy. We hit it off from the first time we spoke and got to know each other fairly well over the course of the year. He joined me for a lot of my morning runs around the grounds. He's quite athletic..." Macadrian didn't want to mention that he was actually a former pro-Quidditch star just yet. She wasn't sure how her sister would react to that bit of information and quite frankly, she was afraid she would get so excited that she would start jumping up and down and kicking sand all over the place, and Macadrian was not in the mood for a SAND-wich.

"He's kind of an outdoorsy guy and has the most adorable pet, who seems to have a certain fondness for chewing on clothing. But besides that, he's really cute - the pet, not the guy. Although the guy is really cute too, that tall, dark, and handsome kind of guy that I'm always particularly fond of..." Macadrian had said that entire last few thoughts in one breath and had almost begun daydreaming but managed to keep her head clear and continued in a much stiffer tone, "Of course, we're just friends. And just barely that considering I almost pushed him away with a yelling fit when I thought I was getting fired and - oh boy! I have a lot to fill you in on. This could take a while, so why don't you tell me what you've been up to and I'll save the rest of my story for another time?"

Mamushkaleontti · 01-13-2008, 09:18 AM

This was really silly, why was he paying attention to people around him, this was his time off. Time to relax, sit back, and enjoy the remaining four days in his vacation. His mind began the racing again, though those voices can still be heard but somewhere far far away like wind whisper and only part of it was making sense, talking over a guy so it seems. His mind trailed off in the dating prospective, he's cut that part in his life after the death of his beloved wife Ara and it was impossible to find any that will be able to replace her, Ara was special in many ways, there was just no equal to her.

I almost pushed him away with a yelling fit when I thought I was getting fired ... his right eyebrow puckered up once that line hit him like splashing cold water. The voice clicked with the mental picture of Macadrian Shackleton, now why would she be here?.. and that guy dang he should have paid more attention on their conversation.

Still in his laid back position, eyes closed, Fabian snapped back into reality and paid more attention to his surrounding mentally. This was his best chance to know more about Macadrian than she was willing to inform him, and his discrete relaxation pose would be impossible to give him away. Aye, he's dabbling in her life whether she likes or not, plus he wanted to know what she thought of him as a new friend.

**Granger1814** · 01-13-2008, 05:42 PM

Admaris laughed at her sister’s joking manner. “Oh come on now.” She pleaded. She definitely had to know what had been going on in her sister’s life. And so the story began. When her sister mentioned becoming friends with a great guy, Admaris had to stifle an excited squeal, settling instead for a wide smile. “Ooo. Do go on.” She requested, now folding her legs beneath her as she shifted into a more comfortable position. Her eyes were bright with interest and she leaned forward towards her sister. “Athletic, hmm? That’s definitely a plus. He has those strong arms that just feel so nice wrapped around you in a hug.” She grinned. This was certainly exciting news.

Continuing to listen to her sister’s description, Admaris laughed again. “Interesting pet, it seems. Glad you like his pet though; just be sure it doesn’t get ahold of any important papers of yours.” She joked.

At the sudden change of the tone of conversation, Admaris slowly shook her head. “You have been busy! Sounds like a plan to me, but you know, just friends can definitely evolve into something more…” She should know. It did happen to her,, which was leading into her recollection of her life.

“Well…speaking of friends becoming more.” She smiled impishly. “I am currently dating a really, really handsome guy by the name of Marco. We met on an expedition and have been practically inseparable ever since.” She revealed, still grinning. “Maybe you’ll get the opportunity to meet him while you’re here.” That would certainly be a highlight of her sister coming here on vacation. After all, she and Mac were very close which meant that either would trust the opinion of the other.

lemondrop13 · 01-13-2008, 09:40 PM

Macadrian's excitement about Fabian swelled up inside her as her sister gave her encouraging words, which made her reprimand herself in her head, 'Stop it! I'm sure he doesn't think of you that way. And since when did you think of him that way? You're supposed to be just friends.' Macadrian had just nearly convinced herself when her sister made the comment about friends becoming more than just friends. All of a sudden, butterflies filled Mac's stomach with the thought of more than just friends with ANY man, let alone Fabian. It had been a long time since she had let herself think that way.

But as quickly as those thoughts flooded her mind, they were washed away by the peculiar smile that lingered on her sister's lips, a smile Macadrian knew all too well. Before Adamaris had even said his name, Macadrian knew there was a man in her life, and not just any man, but a special man. Only special men got the silly smile - the rest were treated with indifference. Macadrian smiled genuinely at her sister as she observed how happy she was as she thought about this man Marco. She replied as she reached out to hug her sister, "That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! You have to tell me all about him and I would LOVE to meet him!" And with a playful wink, Macadrian added, "So I can tell you if I approve."

All of a sudden, Macadrian's heart sank a bit. While she was genuinely happy for her sister, her new relationship left Macadrian as the only single sister and she longed for companionship more than she longed for nearly anything else. Trying not to let her sudden emotional flip-flop show, Macadrian added jokingly, "Unfortunately for us, you won't be finding Fabian here so you can't tell me if you approve of him." Oh how wrong she was....

**Granger1814** · 01-13-2008, 10:12 PM

Admaris knew that Mac would pick up on her subtle smile. The two had been sisters long enough to know what such little clues meant. It was definitely useful to the both of them when together; especially when dealing with men. A simple nod that meant nothing to someone else actually had meaning to the two sisters.

At her sister’s reaction, Admaris grinned and clapped her hands together, feeling quite giddy with excitement. “That’s my plan. I’m sure that we can select a time that would be good for all of us.” She answered, her words followed by a giggle. “Exactly why I’m glad you’re here sis. I need someone to help improve my love life.”

Grinning, she glanced around, taking in the sights around them; the bright sun, the cool breeze coming off of the ocean. It was hard not to fall in love with such a beautiful place.

At the sound of her sister’s voice, she looked back over. “Now that would be awesome, but until that comes true, you need to enjoy yourself. We can go to a spa one of these days.” She sighed. “Absolutely heavenly, those spas. Fix ourselves up and go for a ladies night out.” She suggested with a grin.

lemondrop13 · 01-13-2008, 11:28 PM

Macadrian lay back in her chair, trying to soak in as much sun as possible while she listened to her sister talk excitedly about scheduling a time for Macadrian to meet the special man in her life. With her sister still talking, Macadrian's mind began to think about how beautiful the resort was and how magical this place seemed to be. She even thought it might be affecting the way she thought about Fabian because she had never expressed her interest for him out loud before. Of course, that may have had more to do with the presence of her sister than the surroundings, but either way, Macadrian was a bit unsettled with these new feelings she had finally come to admit to herself, well, sort of half-admit to herself.

Macadrian's mind drifted back to her sister as she overheard the word 'spa' and 'ladies night' in the same sentence. Sitting up from her chair, Macadrian's face clearly showed her excitement as she began brainstorming about what hotspots they could venture into and the nightlife they could experience. "Well, what are we waiting for? Why don't we do it tonight? The resort has a spa - we can pamper ourselves all afternoon and then get dolled up and hit the town. You can get in touch with Marco and we can all go out. Carpe diem! Who knows? Maybe I'll find a man of my own..." Macadrian's excitement was three-fold: number one - she wanted to meet this man of Adamaris'; number two - she wanted to be pampered and truly experience what a vacation should be; and number three (and perhaps the most important of the three) - she wanted to find another man to keep her thoughts off Fabian. She didn't want to think of him in any way other than friends and coworkers, and a night amongst good-looking strangers was sure to distract her.

**Granger1814** · 01-13-2008, 11:44 PM

Admaris laughed at Mac’s apparent excitement to her last suggestion. She figured that would make her happy. And she knew that her sister was more than willing to have a good time. The nightlife in Greece certainly left nothing for granted. Plus, there were plenty of good looking men around the island. She was certain that Mac could find her one; maybe at one of the clubs.

With a grin, she tuned into what her sister was saying. “Tonight?” She repeated. “I was hoping that you would suggest that. So happens I have the entire day free.” Straightening up, she nodded excitedly. “Exactly. It’s been a while since I’ve been to one of the spas here. I know you’ll love it though and you are entitled to such pampering after the school term.” She encouraged, knowing that she really didn’t need to do so, but it was always better to top off the suggestion.

“Excellent! I can call Marco and let him know about tonight. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to meet you though do expect him to probably say that he feels as though he knows you already. I tend to talk about you quite a bit.” She pointed out with another laugh.

“And of course you read my mind. I was thinking the same exact thought. Go to a nice outdoors restaurant and then hit one of the hotspots.” Now this was going to be a great day. “Shall we head out now? Or wait a while?”

His breath hitched for a moment when he heard his name, but that only confused him more. Does her family need to approve of her friends too? Why were they strict? Or was there something he was missing? And here goes the conversation again in a different direction..

Hmmm, spa, girls night out.. that all sounded normal.. and why am I suddenly interested to where they were heading? Or what their plans are? I have an early day tomorrow, i have to make it at five thirty in the morning to make sure our plans are sealed or else all efforts banish and he consequences are better not to ponder... yeah that was only girl talk and follow up women tend to do when they meet over absence.

It did come to his attention that the girls were on the verge of moving and he was nearby, if they were curious to their surroundings they may or may not spot him. And if he stood, that would give him away and probably cause Macadrian some embarrassment, even if he didn't pry over their entire conversation, but how much of that would she be willing to believe? It would be better if she didn't know, and he would never bring it up.

Fabian pulled one arm over his face to cover his eyes and nose, the look of someone very deep in sleep under the warm sun..

lemondrop13 · 01-16-2008, 07:20 PM

Macadrian glanced around the scene in front of her, taking in the beauty of the shoreline as her sister expressed her excitement about going out that very same night. Deciding whether or not Macadrian wanted to stay on the beach a bit longer or head to the spa was difficult, but ultimately the spa won out and Macadrian told her sister, "Let's head out now. The more time in the spa, the better! Besides, there'll be plenty of time to lay out on the beach another day. Why don't we head up to my suite and put our stuff away and then we can head down to the resort spa off the lobby? Sound like a plan?"

Macadrian sat up in her chair and reached for her beach tote. She grabbed her sarong from the bag, stood up, and wrapped it around her waist. She stood there with the sarong blowing gently in the breeze, staring with an inquisitive expression at her sister's face, waiting for her response.

**Granger1814** · 01-19-2008, 03:51 AM

As her sister answered her, Admaris jumped up immediately at the suggestion that they leave now. "I was hoping that you would say that!" Her face brightened in excitement and she began to immediately pack the articles of beach material that she had originally brought with her into her bag.

"I completely agree. It'll be absolutely wonderful. To spend the day being pampered is one thing but to spend it with my sister definitely makes my top ten list of best experiences."

Her grin slipped up a notch or two. "I can't wait to see your suite. I can imagine that it's beautiful." She swung her bag onto her shoulder as she glanced in the direction of the resorts. "You forgot to mention one thing." She laughed once. "Lots of rather good looking men walking around the spa area. Who knows? You might walk in with me and leave with someone else." She gave her sister an impish smile.

Mamushkaleontti · 01-20-2008, 06:15 PM

6pm that same evening.

Fabian narrowly escaped his afternoon tan from getting noticed, but the good part was that Macadrian and her friend had a busy schedule of their own. That pleased Fabian in many ways, especially in knowing his path from encountering Macadrian this day is pretty clear. Tomorrow he'll worry about later.

Around six o'clock that evening, before he headed for dinner, Fabian made his way down the hotel's lobby to speak with the concierge over next morning's requirements including a request for a car for his next morning travel. Leaning over the counter, Fabian was heavy in conversation with the concierge.

lemondrop13 · 01-20-2008, 06:59 PM

"... excited to meet this Marco of yours! Where did you say he was going to meet us? In the lobby here or at the restaurant?" Macadrian was in the middle of discussing plans for the evening with her sister as they entered the resort lobby, her black strappy stilletto heals clicking softly on the tile with each step she took. If the noise from her shoes didn't attract attention, the appearance of she and her sister would. Macadrian was dressed in a fitted cobalt blue satin dress with a hem that hit about 4 inches above the knee and a deep, open V-neck. Her long blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders and down her back in wide curls and her skin looked fresh and smooth. Of course, a great deal of her appearance would have to be attributed to that afternoon's spa-spectacular, and another part to the presence of her sister Adamaris. For some reason, the girls always appeared more beautiful and radiant when they were together; perhaps because they were identical but with such different style and unique beauty. Either way, Macadrian had never looked as good and was quite happy with her appearance on this particular evening.

With her head turned to her sister and completely oblivious to her surroundings, Macadrian continued asking questions about the restaurant that her sister was taking her to and the type of food on the menu. She was so engaged in their discussion that she didn't notice the man leaning over the concierge desk. Perhaps if she had, she wouldn't have tripped over his slightly extended leg, nearly losing her balance and drop
