This day, this particular night is not as ordinary as Steve Shunpike would think it will be. Steve is the only one distant cousin of Stan Shunpike, who works as a conductor for the Knight Bus. Stan asked Steve to substitute for him, for only one night because of an important errand he has to do. Being so nice, Steve agreed for the switch as he thought “Well this is only for tonight, I can do that” so he agreed gladly. Mr. Ernie Prang, Stan’s uncle is still going to be the driver. Here’s a little profile of Steve Shunpike:

Name: Steve Daly Shunpike
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Occupation: Barman (well he was currently helping his Father run a pub somewhere in the Sheffield)
Looks: *im not good at describing anyone so, here’s a picture of what he looks like --> Steve
Personality/Background: the only son of pureblood family, helpful, friendly, with a lovely accent like of a sophisticated English man, loves to play games and to joke around, though he seems to be silent at times and can be a bit mean if provoked

Story: Oddly, all the passengers’ desired destination will be the Leaky Cauldron Steve and Ernie will go for a regular drivework. Strangers, witch and wizards will aboard the Knight Bus and we never know what will happen inside as we are traveling.

Basically, you will be a passenger so please post the profile of your character. And as you post it, play your character at once. Meaning, you post something that describes where you are and that you’re stranded, etc. For Steve and Ernie will surely pick you up in no time. Here’s an example of a profile:

**************

Its evening of six o’clock and Steve ran up downstairs and when he reached the end, there stood old Ernie Prang slightly grinning at him. Ernie adjusted his very thick eyeglasses; he looked up, eyeing Steve from head to feet. “So you boy is Steve? Come on, im ready for this night.” Ernie, although very old, walked straight up to a triple-decker, violently purple bus parked just outside Steve’s residence. Quickly, Steve followed Mr. Ernie, and there he spotted the gold lettering over the windshield spelled the Knight Bus. As the two aboarded, Steve asked, “So this is the Knight Bus? Well, I’ve seen it but I’ve never ridden it before.” Inside, Steve noticed that there were no seats; instead, half a dozen brass bedsteads stood beside the curtained windows. Candles were burning in brackets beside each bed, illuminating the wood-paneled walls. Ernie took something from the front and tossed it up to Steve. “You need to wear that, it’s your uniform. You’ll find a note inside the pocket. Read it.” Steve examined it.. it’s a purple uniform and he took out a bit parchment and started to read it. It appears to be some instructions for what a conductor should know. After dressing to change, Steve realized that the bus just revved up its engine, and zoom they go…

Please be advised that this notice is just a reminder. Have fun!

Name: Jen
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Occupation: Writer for the Daily Prophet
Personality/Background: An awkward, clumsy witch, Jen writes for the Daily Prophet
Looks: Petite, with long black hair that has a single strand of pink running in the center
Reason why you are stranded: I'm supposed to meet a fellow scribe at the Leaky cauldron, as well as write a feature about the place.

Jen squeezed her eyes shut. She has been trying to apparate for the last 30 minutes and has been unsuccessful so far.

"This has been happening a lot lately," she thought.

Sticking her wand arm out, she waited for the Knight Bus; and in a moment a big, gleaming purple double decker came zooming out of nowhere.

Steve was at first stunned at how fast the Knight Bus is travelling, but anyway he liked it. Then after sometime, the bus stopped. Ernie said, "Steve, first passenger is up... you know what to do." He said all that without looking at him. So Steve stepped outside and saw a young lady who seems to be younger than he is... Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. just stick out your wand hand, step on board) and we can take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Steve Shunpike, and I will be your conductor this evening. Come aboard. He smiled at the lady with long black hair with a noticeable pink at the center. Somehow it gave him a leap in his stomach seeing that.

Swinging her sling bag over her shoulder, Jen was about to step into the bus when she looked up and was taken aback with the new conductor.

"You're new here, aren't you?" She blurted out. "And a far, far cry from the pimply Stan," she thought.

"Oh yes, you're right. Steve nodded politely and smiled. I presume you know Stan, he's my cousin... a distant cousin. Steve somehow thinks that this night is going to be fun afterall, considering that their first passenger was cute. He lend his left hand to help her aboard the bus.

Jen took his hand and held on as she stepped inside. She knew how crazy the Bus could go, and she quickly took a seat.

Steve eyed the passenger.. So where are you going? And may I ask what your name is? You already know who I am.... he smiled ad continued to look..

Name: Dominique/Dom
age: 20
Gender: Female
Occupation: investigator for the Department of Magical Catastrophes (ooc: somewhat ganung department nalimutan ko yung tawag eh)
Personality: funny, patient and a klutz.
Looks: tall, fair skin, long, curly brown hair
Reason why I'm stranded: I was supposed to arrive at Wales for an investigation, but since my apparition skills is not that good, I ended up in Privet Drive.

Dominique opened her eyes and saw that she did not arrive in Wales. "I guess I have to take the Knight Bus, instead." she sighed as she stuck out her wand arm and waited for the violent purple 3-decker bus to arrive. In no time, she saw the Knight Bus popped out of no where and went to her.

The bus continued to jerk violently and Jen was a bit surprised that the conductor was still calm--and was even flirting! She smiled at him and told him her name.

"I'm going to the Leaky Cauldron for business. Might get a drink too, especially after this bus ride," she said, hitting the window pane with her cheek as the bus gave a mighty lurch again.

Name: isha
Age: 13
Gender: female
Occupation: studying and taking a break. also hopefully learning to be an auror.
Personality/Background: still in school and has many dreams to fullfill. i will do anything to make those dreams happen
Looks: tall, quite long and curly black hair
Reason why you are stranded: i was supposed to meet a fellow friend to help me. apparently, I got lost so i jsut decided to get in the knight bus.

Isha was standing alone, waiting for the knight bus to arrive. She flickered her wand and said "lumos" since it was very dark in her area. Then the bus has arrived. She picked up her things and went inside. She saw a few people, but she did not recognize them. She just found her place and sat there, a few thoughts on her mind will let her sleep.

While watching the conductor assist a few passengers who have just come aboard, Jen rubbed the side of her head. It was a pretty nasty hit, after the bus jerked to a stop, and she cringed as she held up a mirror and saw half her face go red. Conjuring up an ice bag within seconds, she held it aganist her face and was relieved at the coolness of it against her skin.

"Now that's better," she thought.

It was pretty hard for Isha to sleep since it was a very bumpy ride. She noticed a lady who has an ice bag on her face, wonders if she's alright. She went up to her and said "Hi, are you okey? By the way my name is Isha" and smiled

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jen replied, looking at the young witch before her with one eye. Half her face was covered with the ice bag. "Too young to apparate, eh? Wouldn't bother with this dreadful ride, if only I was not having problems with my apparating."

"Where are you headed to?" she asked. "And you can call me Jen."

"I havent decided yet, maybe to the Leaky Cauldron so that I can have some rest" Isha said. She stared at the window, gazing up to the moon and said "You know how to apparate right? Auw mehn Im too young to. So how does it feel?"

Still rubbing her temple, Jen turned to her co-passenger.

"Yeah, I know how to apparate but I've been having trouble with it lately, I'm not sure why...it feels weird at first, like you're being sucked into a tunnel, but you get used to it after a while."

After listening to the passenger... Well that would be eleven sickles, for fifteen you'll get a bottle of water.. nodding. Steve thought, maybe this young girl doesnt want to tell him her name... hmm He turned to Ernie and said.. lets go... the bus started its engine and speed up. But it halted suddenly.. meaning another passenger is up, waiting...


Steve already know what to do.. he stepped outside and there was a tall girl... Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Steve Shunpike, and I will be your conductor this evening. Hop in. He waited for the passenger to aboard.

ooc: Isha, you didnt wait for us to pick you up.. your RPed us its okay

Reluctant at firrst, Steve approached their third passenger with a long curly black hair who's talking with another passenger. Excuse me, where is your desired destination. He turned to face their first passenger And you, eleven sickels please he reminded her... Then.. Hold on.. Ernie we can go now.. and at instant the bus speed up... Now in Edinburgh, travelling...



ooc: Harmony, you forgot to play your character at once, post that you are stranded... we'll pick you up

"Oh right, here you go," Jen handed him the exact change and settled back in her seat.

He smiled, thank you my lady he winked for a bit there at her. Then he turned to the other passsenger that was talking to her.. giving her a look that urges her to answer him back, as to where is her destination would be..

"Haha, I like this conductor better than old Stan," she thought, laughing inwardly. "No problem..and by the way my name is Jen,' she said, remembering that he asked for her name earlier.

Then at last, their first passenger answered him, oh.. uhm.. im pleased to meet yah Steve said as he blinks fast.. He breathed deeply and smiled at the two enjoy this bumpy ride he leaves them with a nod and went to their second passenger, intenting to ask her destination... Steve thought wow, I love this night.... ops I forgot about the fourth passenger he sighed hmm i'll come back later with the two... Jen...hmm.. and Steve was smiling...
