| | The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival is here for the first time in Diagon Alley.

| | |  Magical Face Painting
What would a carnival be without face painting!
Want a butterfly? A crup? Dragon? A moving broomstick? Something else, perhaps? Come take a seat at the picnic table and tell the two Diagon Alley shopkeepers running the face painting table what you'd like, or simply help yourself! The table, dressed in a white plastic cloth to keep any possible spills and messes manageable, is lined with many different colors of paints, glitters, gems and other face make up to choose from and help with different designs, there may even be a stencil or two (or several) laying around.
If you haven't come with ideas in mind, no worries! A book full of endless face painting possiblities sits open to a random page on the opposite side of the two shopkeepers, just waiting to be looked through. Although they're not exactily professional face painters, if you can imagine it, Miss Chosen and Mister Carlen will do their best to paint it. And don't you know, a little magic can go a long way?
OOC: Feel free to interact with the face painting helpers Artemis Chosen (D.A Forever) and Brett Carlen (Granger1814), chat, play and paint your friends faces!

She grinned. "Ah, really? Well, I don't think I'll stop talking if you mention Lord of the Rings." She had read the books and watched the movies the previous summer and totally fell in love with them.
Oh no. Definitely not animals. That would be more that a little weird. Okay. So, maybe she should get a character from Lord of the Rings painted..like..Samwise or Merry? Ah, no. "Thanks for the suggestions but I think I'm just going to go with flowers." Yeah. Flowers definitely sounded safe. She just hoped that they didn't mess it up. Uggh. That would be SO embarrassing. Yeah Amy nodded, she and Sammy were like that, though they were often vying for the loudest voice, and often got chucked out for it. Ah well. That was life, they were never thrown into the lake at least. Talking of the Sammy star, Amy would have to text her to meet her. The express was coming in just a few days. Maaaannn, Amy couldn't WAIT to go back.
Don't start bouncing Amy. Just, don't. Daphers will run a mile. A don't call her Daphers. Just... That would be embarassing. Oh, I've never seen that film or read the books Amy nodded. Well, Amy didn't really read, but she did read Narnia. Narnia was her favourite book ever and her favourite film. She could read/see it anytime and still love it, it was just..timeless.
......OOOOH. A Dumbledore-
Oh. Daphers had decided what she was going to have: Dun dum dum, flowers. Wahey. Nice and...well, a little boring, but that was up to Daphers. Okay, but make them wild Amy nodded knowledgabley

Having finished another painting, Brett leaned back in his seat momentarily and stared up at the sun for a few moments. When he dropped his gaze, he gestured for the next person in line to take a seat. "What would you like?"

"So, do you go to Hogwarts?"
Daphne was surprised when Amy said that she hadn't read the books nor watched the movies. "You haven't?" Oh, wow. "You definitely should. It's epic." She nodded seriously. It was one of the greatest series EVER. Ah, yeah. She was a little obsessed with Lord of the Rings.
Daphne raised an eyebrow. "Wild? Wild, how?" The sixteen year old was a little confused.

He fidgetted energetically as he watched the man finish up another face. Nick satdown in the seat when it was called over and and grinned. " " Can I get half a dragon and half a Crup? Or do I have to pick just one because I couldn't really decide which I wanted more than the other." He rambled on

Herman?" Gosh he was bad with names.
Christopher nodded and gave Feenella a little smile. "Thanks. But now isn't the time time to be sad! Quite the contrary, actually!" he said, not wanting to ruin the carnival with grief and mourning. "So what are you going to get your face painted as?" "Actually i havent been travelling at all",Fee laughed, " i kinda made it my task to show all the new transfers around."Yup,she had met 10 at least.And to her surprise all of them were really cool. "I just run into people a lot",the girl nodded, "or they look lost and i try to help.Yeah thats it.Dont you get to know new people a lot?"Wasnt it like impossible not to get to know new people when you were at Diagon Alley?!Ohh the boyfriend topic.The Slytherin sighed and shook her head. "No i barely saw him",she said," he went on vacation with his parents.But we spent the last two summers together."And they would get to see eachother more often when they were at Hogwarts.Hopfully. "Its Hugo",the fourth year laughed ,"but Humphrey or Herman would be cool too."
Fee sighed a little at Chrissibear's comment.Hopfully he knew that he could talk to her about everything.Mhhh..What was she going to paint her face as?" I think a fairy would do",the girl smiled, "what about you?"Fairies were all sparkly and pretty.Hehe.

Which she knew was hurting Tay, but she decided not to bring that up for some reason.
"He's at Hogwarts" she said softly with a sweet little nod- "I'm glad about that but then... it's his final year so I'm not too happy about that part" she explained with a sad sigh as she smiled at Emma as best she could, hating thinking about Philip not being there.
"Oh me too! Now OWLs are out of the way, it would be awesome to get onto the Quidditch team" she said softly, she knew Tay had played the year she left, and she had been pretty good, so she felt obliged to do better than that. "And yeah, I wanna make new friends and all sorts! This place is so different to Beauxbatons, there... I was... pretty much in the popular crowd. I never branched out and made other friends, it was more like we invited people in" she blushed, knowing they had been a little cruel but she was still friends with those people, they still saw her as a big part of it, but she guessed she'd changed a bit since being at Hogwarts. Emma nodded and chuckled. " I know what you mean. Only my brother, Draco, approves of my boyfriend," she explained, laughing as she shook her head. Oh Merlin. Her parents could be a nightmare. Phillip was at Hogwarts? " Cool! Well that's good that he's at Hogwarts," she said, smiling, " Oh yes, I understand how you feel. I think I'll be in tears by the end of this term because a lot of my good friends are ditching me. They're graduating," she explained and pouted, putting a hand on Dani's arm and giving it a quick squeeze. Emma didn't want Braeden or Theo to graduate. Sigh. Well at least she'd have Alfie, Sel, Dani, Fee, and Alice.
The Malfoy smiled at Dani. " Sure! I want to join the team too. I was a Reserve last year and played Chaser in a couple of games. So what position do you play?" asked the Malfoy, hopefully she wasn't a Chaser too. Emma nodded again. Popular crowed? Eye roll. Emma scrunched up her nose. " I see. Popular crowd. I'm not a big fan for popularity and stuff. You know? I don't really care about being popular as long as I have nice friends who I enjoy hanging out with. No offense, " said the Malfoy, bluntly. Popular- Schmopular. The blonde continued, " You should. You just should be more open, you know. Go out and take a risk? I spent my last term making more friends, which was good," explained Emma.

" My older brother hasn't met him yet. That's what I'm worried about. My twin's fine with Philip, but Luke practically raised me" Dani laughed, glad she'd found someone who could sympathise. Everyone else had said it would be just fine... but she wasn't sure. Luke was... yeah. Like her Dad. " Oh yeah, I will be too. It's gonna be sad but at least we have each other and everyone else!" she said softly with a big smile.
" Hmm, beater maybe? Chaser? I'm not fussed, I love to play!" she said softly as she brushed back her curls, they hadn't done much at Beauxbatons in terms of Quidditch.
Dani got the whole popular thing, she now knew how unimportant it was to be that way, she smiled and nodded- " Yeah, that's what I'm going to do! Take a risk" she repeated strongly.

EEEPP!!!
OMG!Face Painting! This made Ness excited, it may have been a little babyish but it was Face Painting. She looked around making sure nobody she knew was watching. She was 12 and surely some people would think she was too old. She then stood in line.
She thought of what to get painted. Something big? Something Small? Something Colorful? She wasn't sure, but she knew she had to get something that moved. It would just be so awsome. She had never had magical face painting, only muggle face painting.
