Down one of the roads in St. Misteriee, there is a medium-sized house with a set of polka-dotted shutters on on of the windows. Eleana Cullen lived in the house.
To her, being single and having to take care of a peppy, hyper girl, and a dark, slightly depressed girl, life was hard.
When you walk inside, the huge dining room/kitchen greeted you. If you turned left and went upstairs, you'd find three bedrooms and three bathrooms. the first door on the right was Eleana's bedroom, and across from it was her bathroom. Next to Eleana's room was her 17-year-old niece, Cassandra Brant's, room. Across from her was her bathroom. The room with the odd shutters was the room of Olivia Cullen, Eleana's adopted 16-year-old daughter.
The house was painted all green, gold, red, and silver, except for Cass' and Olivia's room. Olivia had pink, purple, and white, while Cass had black, bronze, and white.

Characters:
Eleana Cullen-24
Cassandra Brant-17
Olivia Cullen-16

Plot for this scene: At the moment, Eleana is coming home after a hard day at her shop. She finds five letters waiting for her. She opens one and finds a letter from her new friend, Catastrophe. She would be coming soon to look at the house. Cass would get permission to go to St. Misteriee, which is right outside of Hogsmeade. The other two are from the girls. Cass' said that she had gotten permission to come, and couldn't wait to meet Calamity. Olivia's says the same, except that she can't go, She has a date with some boy. The last one is from Cass' Potions professor. It says that Cass is excelling in all her classes, but she has dulled somehow. Her hair has dulled, her eyes have dulled, and her personality has dulled. She was a bit touchy, and he was afraid that Cass was going into depression.

Add me to the guest list please, Catastrophe Kerr and Calamity Hunters.



Catastrophe had been cooking some pancakes when Calamity had jumped down from the stairs and pulled on the apron.

"When are we going? Hmm? When are we going?" Calamity asked, impatient to get to my best friend's house, Eleana Cullen.

"We will go, unless you keep on reminding me." I pressed and she sighed, sitting down on the Kitchen table.

"Pancakes. Eat up and then I will get ready and go. Understood?" I asked, brushing her hair.

"Yep!" She tried to eat as fast as she could but burned her tongue and I tutted, giving her a glass of milk to which she swallowed down.

"Do you have the gift?" Catastrophe asked, pulling on Calamity's tangles.

"Yes!" She whined as I pulled on harshly.

"Sorry, love!" I cried and petted her hair, going upstairs to get ready.

"Come on, Calamity! Let's go." Catastrophe said as Calamity nodded her head in agreement and held her hand, going out the door.

"Aunt Eleana, I'm here!" Cass yelled, her musical, low voice ringing in Eleana's ears.

"I can see that. Go on, brush your hair and PUT SOME DECENT CLOTHES ON!" She finished the sentence by yelling after Cassandra. Cass came down in a white t-shirt that said 'Witchy and Proud!' Eleana laughed. She also had paint-splattered jeans. She had dark red earrings, and her silver pink gem-studded cross necklace. The door bell rang.

"Why aren't we there?" Calamity asked, nervous.

"Calm down." I cried, seriously angried that she was asking every second.

Ring! Ring!

"I'll get it!" Cass said, and ran to the door. "Hello, I'm Cassandra Brant. Come on in." She smiled slightly. She led the two people over to her aunt and said, "This is my aunt, Eleana Cullen." She sighed and turned to the girl. "You must be Calamity!"

"I am." Calamity smiled. She liked this girl already!

"Sis, why don't you go talk to Eleana while you know." Calamity motioned.

"All right, I'm going!" Catastrophe chuckled and left twith Eleana.

"So, Calamity, what do you like to do? One second..." Cass said, stepping into her cousin's room and slamming the window and shutters shut. "Gosh, my cousin never listens, and she never closes the window when she leaves." She told Calamity.

"It's understandable." Calamity grinned and sat down, showing her a pair of necklaces with rings, along with bracelets.

"This will help us with our powers, okay?" She told her.

Cass:

"Cool. What do you usually do on weekends? I usually just swim in the lake at Hogwarts. Do you want to see Hogwarts? Look out my window, then turn your head to the left." Cass said, smiling.

Eleana:

"Catastrophe, I don't know what to do! I got this letter in the post from Cass' Potions professor! Here, read it." Eleana said, giving her the letter.

"Really? I love Hogwarts!" Calamity grinned and looked out. "It's so awesome! I want to swim too." She stared at the sparkling water.

Catastrophe:

"Oh...Dear..." Catastrophe rubbed her temples as she looked at Eleana. "Why do you think so?" She asked, her eyes widening. "I bet Calamity could help with her, but she still needs other's help too."

Cass:

"Yeah...are you good at keeping secrets? I've got one that would ruin my rep at Hogwarts." Cass mumbled.

"You have my word!" Calamity giggled and scooted closer.

"This secret is a lot different then what you're expecting. Do you know what being depressed is? Well, I think I'm going into depression." Cass said, her head low.

Eleana:

"I know, but maybe Calamity can help. When is she coming to Hogwarts? This year? Cool." Elena said quickly, writing a note for Olivia if she ever came. "Why don't we go to my shop? Its just next door. I'll get the girls." She said, and went up the stairs. "Girls! I going to the shop with Catastrophe! You coming or not?" She said, after banging on Cass' door. She heard footsteps, and Cass and Calamity were flying down the stairs.

OOC: The shop is included in this forum. There's a door by the stove that leads into it!

"De...Depression?" Calamity gasped. "What do you mean? I can make you happy for some amount of time- that is my powers...But why?" She asked, clutching the older's hand.

Catastrophe:

"Why yes, I would love to!" Catastrophe laughed and followed Eleana into the shoppe. "How beautiful!" She breathed.

"I live with my aunt because my parents shunned me last year when I caught my bedroom on fire. I've been sent Howlers every few weeks from then on. Its hard having your family turn their backs on you. Come on, lets get to the shop." Cass said, brightening a bit.

"I'm sorry..." Calamity hugged the girl, obviously saddened. "My parents are dead, but Catastrophe does well in taking care of me too."

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Yeah, my mum's in Azkaban for murder. She murdered my dad, because he loved me and tried to argue. I have to go to her hearing next week. Could you come, but stay quiet? Oh I hope so." Cass said, excited that she had an awesome new friend. She felt a slight lift in the depression, and he face broke out in a smile.

"Why wouldn't I? Of course I would be honoured to come!" Calamity squealed and hugged her. "You're kind of lucky you're in Seventh Year. I'm in First. I'm kind of shy too. What will the older ones think if they know I have powers?" She slumped in her seat.

"I know one thing, if the teachers found out you were helping my depression, and making me be my old prankster self, they would move you into Slytherin, unless your already in it. You can be a big help, I can tell!" Cass said, jumping up and down.

"Sly...Slytherin?" Calamity asked. "I don't like the Slytherins...Except for you. I wish I can make many friends, but I am too shy..." She sighed.

"I like you too!" She giggled.

"I'm kidding! I would protect you if it did happen, though." Cass said, laughing.

"That's great!" She smiled and went into the shoppe. "It's so pretty!"

"Yeah, I know. Hey, guess what? I got word from someone that was in The Leaky Cauldron a few days ago that they saw Eleana with someone, a man to be exact!"

"Mmhmm. Catastrophe told me all about it. I met Blackstone- the man to be exact," She grinned, "And he's quite nice. His nephew, Tavelon," She flipped her hair in a displeased manner, "Is another story."

OOC: Kind of weird writing this because Calamity likes Tavelon, but he is a flirt now, so oh well.

OOC: Oops!

IC:

"Yeah, I've seen him, but not met him. He seems nice from a distance." Cass said, smiling hugely.
