Cami smiled. "Well I'm a Healer at St. Mungo's. I just graduated from Hogwart's last year. What about you?" She said as she passed some decorations that frightened her.

Jakob stared back at Orion, wonderingly faraway.
"Well, I'm not ok." he whispered so that only he could hear him, but then realising what he had just said, he stepped further away, not wanting to sound paranoid or anything. He turned to Roma:
"Well, they weren't exactly wolves. More like mean people, you know... They stole my broom and let me run all the way here through the forest. I bet there are wolves there, though..." the lad said, thinking about how it all sounded.

'I'm an auror' Katrina said. 'So do you like what you do?' she asked.

ooc: if you guys would like you can call my character Kat

Charmingly smiling as the girl turned out to not be mad or anything, he gulped at her last line, taken by surprise.
"Err... I needed a jog?" he attempted, but with her it was clear this kind of sidewalking didn't work. "I'm not really good with Apparating..." Jakob mumbled, looking in another direction.

Orion blinked in surprise at what Jakob said, but shrugged. If he didn't want to tell him anymore, then he won't probe. Instead, Orion walked over to the broken fountain, then reached up into the headless's statue's bucket and pulled out an old-fashion key, that had a decorative metal skeleton head at the end of it. He walked over to the stairway that led up to the front doors, then stopped and pointed to the balcony.

"I bet many of you heard the stories of Hoxac's wife that jumped off the balcony here, falling to her death," Orion started, then shook his head. "But that's not half of what happened," he finished, then went on. "Hoxac was known for getting very angry, punishing his wife by beatings. Eventually, his wife got so sick of her husband, that she snapped. She went insane, yelling throughout the house in the middle of the night, waking up her three children from their sleep. Hoxac was away, on one of his killing sprees. Finally, his wife made it up to this balcony," he paused, then waved his hand around in the air, geturing to the unsteady balcony. "Her children followed her, and they saw her fling herself off the balcony, to her death." He stopped, then made the sign of the cross, muttering something about, "Rest in peace, Annabella."

He looked up, then nodded. "Her name was Annabella," as if to explain why he said 'rest in peace, Annabella.' He walked up the steps, then stopped, waiting for them to follow him. He never did explain why he knew so much about the stories.

ooc: I'm sooo sorry! but I had to do something and I couldn't post now. Could you please tell me what's going on again?

"Oh, well, if my sister understood that as well as you do, I'd have been a happy man!" Jakob said, referring to his Apparition problems, then gloomed out. He could have said parents instead of sister. That was probably what everyone else could say. Gritting his teeth, he glanced at the faraway roof of the mansion, thinking of Annabella, and how much she would have hated her husband. I hate him, too... Jakob thought, dryly.
He was extracted from his ugly mind weavings by Roma, and he was rather thankful that she did turn back to him:
"Oh, I was a Gryffindor. And you? Hogwarts, yes?"

Ooc: Orion just told a story about the house, and everyone is waiting to go inside.

Orion glanced over at Caroline, overhearing that she wanted to talk to Noira. He walked over to her, just for a second before going inside. "Do you have a question?" He asked politely, thinking that she looked confused.

Cami heard Roma and Jakob talking about Quidditch. She turned around and smiled at them. "That's where I know you from!" She said to Jakob. "I was a Gryffindor too, and I was on the Quidditch team. I think I was a year or two behind you though."

"Oh, cool, you were that good..." Jakob said, scanning Roma, as if trying to recall her scoring in their Hogwarts days. "Well I always had a passion for the game, and I had to pursue it, otherwise I would have felt incomplete." He couldn't comment on the opinion of his parents. Just the thought of them made his blood scorch his veins.
"Well if you ever want to take back your desire to play, let me know. I could arrange something." Jakob murmured, seriously.

"You did?" he turned to Cami. "Which position was that again?" he added, on the same reminiscent tone.

"Beater." She replied with a smile. "I just graduated from Hogwarts last year. I miss my Quidditch days."

Orion looked away, feeling uncomfortable. "..I'm sorry..but.. I don't know how to help you see.." he trailed off, then looked back at her. "I need to unlock the front of the house.. maybe later you can tell me how to help you." He waited a second before moving away, going up the stairs and unlocking the doors.

He stuggled for a minute, before pushing the heavy oak doors open, propping them open with a rock. He paused at the opening, then walked inside, and stopping, waiting for the others.

The Entrance Hall of the house was pretty much empty. An enormous chandelier hung from the center of the room, two fireplaces on the east and west walls. The floor was dusty, but you could tell that it once shined like the stars. A big staircase led up into more rooms on the upper floor, dividing into two parts. The hallway on the upper floor went around the Entrance Hall, so that you could see down into the Entrance Hall. Cobwebs were all over the place, and dust kicked up when Orion opened the door. The ceiling had disturbing pictures of flames and the underworld. Along the walls around the Entrance Hall were pictures of the family. Rooms were around the Entrance Hall, and more rooms were upstairs.

Jakob smiled at Cami, now remembering her vividly, as he had shared some matches with her.
Then, as if through the filter of a dream, he heard Roma talking about parents... her parents... then his own. He started, then frowned and glanced to Orion.
"They would have, I am sure. But they died, sadly..." the lad switched his friendly expression, instantly, substituting it with a grim one.
