Looking for Prince Charming

There’s a Prince Charming in every fairytale and in every fairytale the princess always gets the prince because she’s done something right.

Cecilia Creame & William Delamare have been best friends since they were younger and they’ve grown up with each other. Cecilia, or Cream Puff as William has taken to calling her, always had her head up in the clouds, determined to find one true love like Snow White, Cinderella and Briar Rose had. She wants her perfect happily ever after, but no one wants to tell her how fairytales aren’t real and that it doesn’t take kissing a frog to find the prince of your dreams.

Enter Antonin & Alice Layne, two new students in Hogwarts. Cecilia swears it’s love at first sight when she sees Antonin and is quite head over heels for him while Alice has developed a crush on William Delamare. Cecilia is excited about all of this; it’s what she believes to be her happily ever after and William’s! And what makes it better was that if it all worked out, Cecilia and William would be siblings!

But with every fairytale, there’s an evil witch… in this fairytale there are several evil witches…

Cecilia’s worst enemy, Maybelle, has been crushing on William since forever and now that a new girl is here to take him away, will she tolerate it?
Then there’s Antonin’s girlfriend, Helena. If love conquers all, will Cecilia really get the prince of her dreams? Or will Helena drive the two further apart.
And lastly, there seems to be a puppet master, playing with all the strings of this relationship fiasco. Jonathan used to have a crush on Cecilia, but is he over her? If so, why is he planting all these seeds of doubt within everyone’s minds? Plus, the evil does not work alone… Brian is Jonathan’s best friend, so shouldn’t he be stopping Jonathan instead of supporting him? Or does he have his eyes set on someone as well?

SPOILER!!: Cecilia Creame

It usually starts off as Once Upon a Time
Name: Cecilia Alice Creame
Nicknames: Cream Puff ; Cece ; Little C ; Little Princess ; Princess Cece
Age: 17
DoB: February 14th
PoB: Paris, France
Education: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Year: 7th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood Status: Half and Half
Maritial Status: Single & Looking for Mister Prince Charming

Then they talk about the castle where the Princess lives
Wand: 11 inches, ashwood with veela hair as its core
Amortentia: She’s never tried it.
Patronus: A Swan
Boggart: being alone
Animagus: n/a
Best Subject: Charms & Divination
Worst Subject: Ancient Runes & Potions
Likes: fairytales, happy ever afters, chocolate, vanilla cream puffs, ice cream, smiling, laughing, her best friend forever William, the idea of true love, reading, princesses, magic, unicorns, house elves, pygmy puffs, her sisters, SPARKLES, daydreaming, Prince Charming
Dislikes: evil witches, evil stepmothers, sad stories, crying, sad movies, ruining something, getting her heartbroken, dark colors, being lied to
Fears: loneliness, losing her siblings, losing her family, heights

And What She Looks Like
Height: 5 feet, 6 inches
Weight: It’s not a proper question for a lady
Skin Color: A bit on the pale side
Hair color: Dirty blonde
Eye Color: Dark blue; kinda grey

Then they talk about the problem, which usually includes something about their family
Mother: Alice Lily Creame nee Tremblay
Father: Gary Tim Creame
Siblings: Ciara Creame (23) ; Cindy Creame (25) ; Celine Creame (26)
Pets: Caramel the Pygmy Puff & Snowy the Owl

Then you really see the princess looking for her prince
Growing up with three elder sisters, Cecilia was always intrigued by the idea of happily ever afters. Even more when every single one of her sisters got married and they're happy. Her sister Ciara got married right after she graduated with her boyfriend of four years. Then Cindy got married at the age of 20 with her best friend's brother. At age 22, Celine got married to her ex-boyfriend's brother. Cecilia often wondered what it would be like to be so happily in love. Her sister often dressed her up when she was younger as a princess and read her stories from Cecilia's favorite storybook - all of the stories included a damsel in distress looking for her prince. Around the age of 8 she was convinced that she had a Prince Charming waiting for her out there somewhere and would not stop looking for him. But Cecilia refused to kiss any toads.

In general, Cecilia was a sweet girl with a cheerful smile on her face. She didn't like conflict - she was a pacifist and her happy-go-lucky attitude often annoyed some Slytherins but she didn't mind. Even as she grew older she loved her fairytales and dreamed about one day being swept off her feet by a handsome prince and they would go riding off into the sunset... Call it cliched but Cecilia thought it was utterly romantic.

She was the type of girl who trusted anyone with her heart, she believed in the good in everyone and did not like seeing others upset nor did she like arguing with anyone. As a result, Cecilia was a bit of a pushover, letting others run over her. But it was alright, because one day Prince Charming would come... and he'd stand up for her. Those thoughts were what kept her through the days of harsh words... that and her best friend William.

SPOILER!!: Maybelle... If you don't mind!

Maybelle Black
Behind her Cold Facade

~Introducing Me (basics)~
Name: Maybelle Claire Black
Nickname: Maybelle
DOB: 19th August
Age: 17
House: Slytherin
Year: 7
Relationship Status: Likes William

~Because I Care About How I Look(Appearance)~
Hair: Light brown/blonde (depends on the light), curly but tame.
Eye Color: Smoky Green
Skin Color: Olive
Height: 5’ 6’’
Weight: May: That’s rude!
Make-up: She can’t. Her skin’s sensitive.
Usual Jewlery: Earrings.
Usual Attire: Like this
Model: Lauren Conrad

~The people I *cough* love...(Family)~
Mum: Adeline Black
Dad: Wilson R. Black
Brothers: Lyron Orion Black
Sisters: None

~If you pretended to be me...(Personality)~

Maybelle is your classic Slytherin. Cunning, resourceful, mischievious. She’s afraid to love, though. Afraid of pain. She doesn’t cry, ever, but tends to pretend that life’s great.

She doesn’t personally hate Cecilia, just a strong dislike. She was always so happy all the time, and MAybelle envied that. She really hates the new girl, Alice Layne. She’s been crushing on William since 3rd year, but Alice could just sashay in and win his heart.

First impressions mean the world to her, but she’s rather forgiving… For someone like her.

~Do you believe in Magic?~
Boggart: Stab wounds on her dead body
Patronus: Fawn
Wand: Cedar with dragon heartstring, 12’’
Amortentia: Vanilla, mint, and a scent she can’t identify.

~All the way up till Now (History)~

Maybelle was raised in pureblooded society, causing her to be shunned from love. Her brother, being the Black heir, got all the attention while she was supposed to stay quiet. Already predestined to be a trophy wife, she never really bothered with life.

Her days before Hogwarts were spent in the bookshelves, reading storybooks. She always wished for what those perfect characters had. Love. But she was anything but loved.

When she went to Hogwarts, she became scared, not knowing how to talk to people. This resulted in her having very few friends. She also acquired a rival, Cecilia. She didn’t want to be hated, but it just happened.

Someday, she wants to be able to make friends. And maybe apologize to Cecilia for how cold she’s always been to her.

~The Color of Her (post color)~
Purple

That should be it... I don't think it needs more...

~~MAYBELLE~~ someone took her *thinks for a moment* I SHALL TAKE ANTONIN

~~IMMA BE EDITING WITH MA BIO NOW~~

SPOILER!!: Antonin Bradley Layne

Model: Bradley James

Basically:
Full Name: Antonin Bradley Layne
Goes By: Antonin, Tony
Age: 17
DOB: June 30th
POB: New York City
Education: Muggle schooling in New York and Salem Institute then Hogwarts from fourth year onwards
Year: 7th
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Relationship Status: Currently dating Helena Wilde ~~but sort of maybe has feelings for Cecilia~~
A Little More:
Wand: Twirly 13 inch blackthorn and unicorn tail hair core
Amortenia: Cooking pizza
Patronus: Hyena
Boggart: Dragons, the big crazy ones anyway
Best Subject: Arthrimancy and History of Magic
Worst Subject: Charms
Likes: History, being amazing, ~~Cecilia~~ Helena, His fellow Slytherins, Quidditch. Being right, being sarcastic. FOOD & CAMELS. Tales about Merlin and Morgana.
Dislikes: Obnoxious pricks, most Gryffindors, teacher's lecturing about nonsense, bad food, weirdos. Reptiles. His sister ... just a little bit
Maybe You're Blind:
Height: 6'1"
Skin Tone: A little tanned but not much
Hair Colour: Blonde
Eye Colour: Blue
Build: Athletic
Family:
Mother: Primrose Layne (nee: Scotia)
Father: Steve Layne
Siblings: just the one twin sister, Alice Aisley Layne
Pets: A barn owl by the name of Merlin
Whatnot:
Although Antonin is muggleborn you could assume he was pureblood for he knows that much about the wizarding world. When he discovered the wizarding world when accepted into Salem Institute, he took a sort of dislike to muggles. Even though both his parents were muggles and all the friends he'd had in the muggle world, they just seemed sort of lower classed to him now that he'd been introduced to the wizarding world. Further more, when he tried staying in contact with his muggle friends he couldn't talk about all the wonderful things he'd learn because a) he wasn't allowed and b) he'd be laughed at. And he and his friends grew different ways.

Another subject was his sister, his perfect flipping sister. He constantly felt like he was being compared to her because she always managed to get better, when they moved away from her perfect life in New York and in Salem to England when they were 14, she decided that her petty life was no longer worth living and that she should just sit in her room and sob like a baby. That was the point where Antonin decided he didn't particularly like Alice as much as he had before, then he realized he'd never really liked her that much at all but merely put up with her existence because they were related and had to live under the same roof. When they arrived at Hogwarts he decided to become a new person, the sorting hat took this into account and decided Slytherin was the best place for him and that Gryffindor was best for his sister. He couldn't agree more, Gryffindor was mostly made up of snobby people like his sister, where as Slytherin had some more entertaining types.

He became a bit of a joker, generally getting along with anyone who wasn't too much like his sister. So that pretty much ruled out Gryffindor. He got along with the Ravenclaws that enjoyed History as much as he did rather well, one sort of caught his fancy Cecilia but before he could confess any sort of feelings or anything for her, he started dating a Gryffindor Helena Wilde. Who was lovely, and liked the muggle play/poem writer Shakespeare who he thought was interesting, but not quite as interesting as people such as Merlin and Morgana

I have a couple of questions ~~aka one~~ because I was a bit confused, you say that Alice and Antonin are new but Antonin and Helena have been dating for two years, so would they have gone to a school of magic (such as Salem Institute) before going to Hogwarts? 'Cause that's what I've done

*stares at the model* Herro Prince Charming

*echem*
Right, so they are new, they're twins and that could be one way or it could've been long distance like they met somewhere over summer, vacations, etc. So yeah, what you did is fine.

and you spelled Merlin wrong in your last sentence but it's still awesometastical.

Jonathan please?

SPOILER!!: I never expected you to see me that way, anyway...

Emms · 11-12-2011, 08:36 PM

MWAHAHA! I SHALL STEAL BRIAN!

SPOILER!!: Brian

Hope its okay Jenn! I shall be back to edit the last section! :3

*iBeJenn* · 11-12-2011, 10:23 PM

All bios are in, or at least, almost all. Just need one to be edited then all of them will be in so I'm going to start it now.

--

A little white envelope falls onto the plates of every seventh year in the school. It's simple with gold edges and inside there's a card that reads

Place: Hogwarts' Great Hall
Time: Thursday, December 22nd at 7:30 PM
Who: All Seventh Years
Why: A Yule Ball before everyone goes on vacation
Dress code: It's a masquerade! The ball will be semi-formal, but we all know the school's dress code, so dress appropriately

on a small card. It is currently Saturday, November 26th and everyone seems excited for the Winter Holidays to come...
--
Cecilia rubbed her tired eyes as she walked to the Great Hall. It had been a decent enough morning so far, not that she could say much about it because really, the day had just started. But, Cecilia was in a good mood. She looked around the castle as she walked down from the Ravenclaw common room to the Great Hall. Upon reaching the Great Hall, she looked around. It was relatively empty, then again, it was still early in the morning. Cecilia sat down at the Ravenclaw table, choosing a seat that faced the Slytherin table and noticed a white envelope on her plate.

Sighing, she smiled to herself. A Yule ball! Cecilia did love those things, it was just like in those fairytales. Getting lost in her thoughts, she rested her hand against the palm of her hand, thinking about what it would be like to dance with her Prince Charming, once she found him that is. Well, she kind of did find him… he just didn‘t know it yet. Nor was he here yet. But he would be there soon. She wondered who William would be taking to the ball.

Oh a ball. The best part of this fairy tale would be that there were no evil stepmothers and stepsisters... Cecilia was definitely excited and still stuck in a bit of a dreamland as she thought about the ball.

Emms · 11-12-2011, 10:42 PM

SPOILER!!:

Brian, wearing his favourite plaid shirt, dark blue jeans, and black watch headed into the Great Hall. Lost in his thoughts and without seeing Cecilia, he walked over towards his own table and sat down. Once sitting down on the bench, he rubbed his eyes and then looked up briefly, taking a deep breath in. Merlin. He blinked his dark brown eyes for a second and noticed a white invitation on his plate. Picking it up, he continued blinking his eyes briefly and read the invitation. Where was Johnny?

A ball for the seventh years? Merlin. This was a great beginning of a dramatic few weeks before the term. Drama would soon be in the air. He'd have to act quickly before another guy took the girl he wanted to ask. Brian was pretty excited about the ball because he could actually dance, unlike many of his classmates. However, Brian would never tell any of the guys that he, the Quidditch Captain, danced. Heh. It was a little secret. Anyway, dancing, right? Brian had to KNOW how to dance if he wanted to be on Broadway or an actor. He was going to be like Hugh Jackman, except he'd have a British accent. Putting the invitation down, he ignored the sick puppy looks that the younger Hufflepuffs were giving him and looked straight at the Gryffindor table and then the Ravenclaw table. The only familiar face he spotted was Cecilia. Ah, Cecilia. The two had met a while ago when they worked on a project in Charms together. Oh the good old days.

He immediately felt like an idiot! He must have walked past her without saying hello! A good friend of his ~~and perhaps a love interest, but who knew?~~ and not to mention John-boy's crush.. How could he be so silly? The tall seventh year got up from his seat and walked over to Cecilia, taking a seat opposite her. "Good morning sleepy-head," he teased with a wide smile on his face, "How are you?"

The only familiar face he spotted was Cecilia. Ah, Cecilia. The two had met a while ago when they worked on a project in Charms together. Oh the good old days.

He immediately felt like an idiot! He must have walked past her without saying hello! A good friend of his ~~and perhaps a love interest, but who knew?~~ and not to mention John-boy's crush.. How could he be so silly? The tall seventh year got up from his seat and walked over to Cecilia, taking a seat opposite her. "Good morning sleepy-head," he teased with a wide smile on his face, "How are you?"

Cecilia immediately jolted out of her la-la land upon hearing someone address her as sleepyhead. What? Had she fallen asleep? Well, it mattered not because she was dreaming either way. "Good morning Brian," she said. Cecilia was also tempted to point out that her name was not sleepy-head but decided against it. What was done, was done. He certainly seemed happy, well, Cecilia was too but she was curious as to why he was so chip this morning.

"I'm good, excited, happy, a bit tired," Cecilia said, as her mind drifted off to the ball again. People in long poofy dresses like they did in the fairytales, well, maybe not, this was a semi-formal dance and as far as she was concerned, girls tended to dress in short knee-length dresses as opposed to the more traditional puffed out gowns. Either way, they were still gorgeous. "You seem to be in a good mood, how are you?" Cecilia asked, smiling still. Her eyes drifted and looked around Brian, just to make sure that the Slytherin table wasn't occupied by her Prince Charming yet before her eyes focused on the person she was talking to - Brian.

He blinked his dark brown eyes for a second and noticed a white invitation on his plate. Picking it up, he continued blinking his eyes briefly and read the invitation. Where was Johnny?

A ball for the seventh years? Merlin. This was a great beginning of a dramatic few weeks before the term. Drama would soon be in the air. He'd have to act quickly before another guy took the girl he wanted to ask. Brian was pretty excited about the ball because he could actually dance, unlike many of his classmates. However, Brian would never tell any of the guys that he, the Quidditch Captain, danced. Heh. It was a little secret. Anyway, dancing, right? Brian had to KNOW how to dance if he wanted to be on Broadway or an actor. He was going to be like Hugh Jackman, except he'd have a British accent.

John wandered in to the Great Hall, shortly after Brian. He sat down beside him sleepily, resting his head on his hand. He was almost after nodding off when a note landed before him.

SPOILER!!: NOTE

He raised his eyebrows. He hadn't heard about the ball, but he knew there was one every year, which he usually attended with Brian (but not as a date!) . Anyway, he had nothing semi formal or formal or anything. He blinked a couple of times to wake up properly, and realised Cecelia was there too. Feeling his cheeks turn pinkish, he sat up. "So are you going to the ball?" He asked them, fidgeting with his invitation.

As Helena walked into the Great Hall for breakfast, she noticed a note on her plate about the Yule Ball. She sat down near Alice and inspected the note. Obviously, Helena was going to the Ball with Antonin, but he wasn't here yet. Helena's eyes widened as she saw the word Masquerade. She didn't have any masks! Oh, well. She did have an entire school year to get one. Maybe she could make one herself, she was quite good at making things. Smiling, Helena adjusted her little gold ring with a purple-ish ruby set in it, the one she had made herself when she was twelve. That very same one had the words Bravery welded into the gold band, just as a reminder of her house.

Will walked into the Great Hall Yawning.He was the person who would get up late but today he felt a change.He walked over to the Ravenclaw House Table waving to some people.He sat down and he noticed a note on his plate.He read it.Only 7th Years.Masquerade.He knew that when there was a masquerade ball you needed a mask.
He didn't have a mask.But then it wasn't for awhile so he would have time to get one.Forgeting about it he took a couple peices of toast and buttered them then poured a glass of Orange Juice.He began to eat when his watch went off.6.30He looked at his Clocked amazed at what the time was and he was up.He looked around there was not many people here.William couldn't think why there wasn't alot of people here.Then it hit him,It's 6.30 in the morning.He got back to his Breakfast and began to eat.

Antonin was never one to rush things, especially in the morning. It takes time to look as good as he does, one doesn't just wake up looking as good as he did as he walked into the great hall. He would usually go to the Slytherin table to eat breakfast, they were probably the most civilized at this hour of the morning. But upon noticing that his girlfriend had beaten him there and had decided to take her place at the Gryffindor table, uncomfortably close to his sister might I add, which probably meant he should go sit with her. He didn't particularly want to, but it was something you had to do to avoid the woman of the relationship going crazy, he'd learnt that from past experience.

As he made his way to the table he past a group of people in his year, Cecelia among them, he gave them a quick wave considering none of them were in Gryffindor and he liked that, before making it to the Gryffindor table and sitting down next to Helena. "Morning sunshine" he said with a grin, before looking down at his plate at the little envelope that had appeared there. Weird. Probably the headmaster's idea, he was a nut job. He opened it to see ... a masquerade? For seventh years? Odd. For a moment he caught himself wondering who Cecilia would be going with but then managed to remember that he had a girlfriend and Cecilia probably had her eyes on someone else already. So with that he turned to the pretty lady he sat next to asked "What do you think of this?" he said holding the envelope and note it had come in. Because if she didn't want to go, then he probably couldn't either. Which kinda sucked, he'd like to go around guessing who was who behind their masks.

Cecilia smiled at Johnathan as he walked over and sat down. "Good morning," she greeted before noticing that he had the invitation as well. Well, of course he did, he was a seventh year. "I don't know quite yet, I mean, I want to, but you know, not alone," Cecilia said, as she noticed William walk into the Great Hall. Hmm... he was sitting by himself, odd. "Oh, excuse me, William's here," Cecilia said, smiling. She grabbed her plate and her goblet, and invite then slid down the long benches right next to her best friend.

"Good morning Will, you're up awfully early," she said in a bright, cheery voice. And he also seemed hungry. Then again, it was breakfast. "Are you going to go to the ball?" Cecilia asked? Because if William wasn't going then Cecilia probably wouldn't as well, just to keep her friend company... even if Cecilia really did want to go.

She glanced up at the Slytherin table, but he wasn't there yet. About to give up, she heard the door creak open and saw Antonin walk in. And he waved at her! Well, in the general direction of her, but still. A blush crept up her face as he did, but it quickly faded when he sat down to join his girlfriend. Biting her lip she looked back at William. "So, Will, asking anyone to the ball?" Cecilia asked, nudging him slightly.

Because Cecilia was pretty sure that all of them would find their happily ever afters in their last year! Just like her sisters had and it was going to be magical at the Yule Ball, just like all the other balls and parties and dances that they had in fairytale stories.

Helena was eating some fruit salad and waffles when Antonin came to her table and squeezed between her and Alice. Maybe it was weird that she was friends with her boyfriend's sister. Nah, he probably just wanted to be close to her. She smiled as he greeted her and watched him do a cute confused face at the idea of a Masquerade. Then Antonin asked her what she thought about the whole Masquerade idea. " I think it's a cool idea, what about you? I can make your mask, if you want. She offered. Antonin knew she was good at crafting things.

Alice swiftly got out of bed, yawned, and strectched her arms.Today`s another day, anaother day to please Will! She fumbled around in her trunk untill she found her favorite neon yellow zebra pattern shirt, black super skinny jeans, and of course, her emerald ring. She slid it on with complete satisfaction,as she did every day. Alice sashayed out of the common room, and down the corridor, where the great hall awaits.
Alice swung down onto the seat and piced up a peculiar not on her table. It said;

Quote:

--
[COLOR="Black"]
A little white envelope falls onto the plates of every seventh year in the school. It's simple with gold edges and inside there's a card that reads

Place: Hogwarts' Great Hall
Time: Thursday, December 22nd at 7:30 PM
Who: All Seventh Years
Why: A Yule Ball before everyone goes on vacation
Dress code: It's a masquerade! The ball will be semi-formal, but we all know the school's dress code, so dress appropriately

Oh what a unique idea!Alice had never been to anything like this. Not muggle things such as prom, homecoming, or just a simple dance!Well, she could always go alone, but that was just to easy to avoid with William Delamare around. She was so mesmirised by the note that she barely scraped her food.
"So, are you two kissy kissy love birds going?"Alice said with a mischevious grin. Of course they would, seeing that they were in a tight relationship for two years now. Alice silently dreamed about her own wonderful night while the lovebirds thought of their own(most likely)."So Helena.My big idea is...peacock feathers!You like it?How about you Antonin?"Alice asked dreamily.But, she soon got the feeling they would rather be alone.She gave a solemn wave in their direction and slid further down the table.A (fake) tear slid down her cheek. QUITE the drama queen.

QUITE the drama queen.

OH THANK THE LORD HE COULD GO. "I think it'll be great, wonder why it's only seventh years though." Antonin said, grabbing a piece of toast and starting to butter it. "You don't have to do that, I can make myself a mask. I'm thinking a Zorro mask so it'll be fairly easy." he said, it was a nice gesture but he didn't want anything too flamboyant, so Zorro mask it was. Maybe he'd call all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on it instead, they had the same sort of masks, ONLY COOLER.

Antonin did not appreciate that kissy kissy love bird comment. Just because he had found someone that he cared for and spent quite a bit of time with her and she hadn't. But he answered her question anyway. "I don't see any reason why not." he said, taking a bite of his toast. Not adding that it was none of her business, this was also another reason he liked sitting at the Slytherin table, his sister wouldn't dare going near it unless there was some attractive newbie. Peacock feathers? Really? "I dunno, it's still a while away" he said with a shrug, he didn't want to be rude to his sister infront of his girlfriend, so a sarcastic comment about how she should be thinking about clothes first stayed at the back of his throat. AND NOW SHE WAS CRYING?! WHAT?! pretend you didn't notice. Pretend you didn't notice. LOOK AT YOUR TOAST! Toast is so interesting, let Helena deal with whingey whiney Alice he thought going back to his toast and performing the very hard decision of deciding between JAM and HONEY.

''I know It's not usual for me but I just felt a change for once.''I Hope to.''He said happily.He most likely would be going but he didn't know who to go with.''Yeah,Hopefully the person I will ask says yes.''

He took a sip of his drink and said''You going to the Ball?"'Hopefully she would.He grabbed his peice of toast and began to finish it off.He like Cecila wanted to find True Love in the end but he didn't know how it would end.
