Magical Bumper Cars
|
Aaaaanyone??? *EYES* How often was it that V had an opportunity to hit people and not get in trouble for it? Not very often. Not that she was a super violent person or anything, but she definitely would relish the way it felt to just...RUN into someone. And no one could get hurt! It was great! At least...Victoria didn't THINK it would hurt people....these were safe? And protected by magic hopefully? She waited for her turn to get into a car. They were all full, it seemed, and V wanted to patient...was STRIVING to be patient. But she also was trying to see if any of her friends were here. She knew Lisa and Serena and the others had wanted to come this week, but did they come today?! She hoped so! She strained her neck to seeeeeeee....any familiar faces??? |

It was precisely why Max was standing in line, waiting for his turn to get inside a car. He would be turning thirteen in a few months' time, and then he would certainly be too old for these rides. He figured that he should make the most out of the last pre-teen summer he had, by doing as many childish things as possible. So he waited, his blank expression making him look uninterested even though he was quite excited. He liked flying, and since the cars were floating, he thought it would be more fun than normal bumper cars. Hey, they would all be human Bludgers trying to hit one another! Just as the thought crossed his mind and a small smirk breached his lips, he realised that he recognised the person standing in front of him. Max did the first thing any extreme introvert would do in these situations - shifting slightly so that he was facing away from his classmate, he pulled his hat lower over his eyes and hoped that he would not be spoken to. |

LIKE, WAS IT SERENA OR LISA???? V was disappointed to see it wasn't either of them, but instead a boy who was familiar. "You won't be able to see where you're going if you keep your hat like that, you know," she said with a flip of her hair behind her shoulder. His hopes of not being spoken to weren't going well, but Victoria had not, at least, recognized him yet. |
For Maya & Evan and Jenn & Chellie <3 The whole celebration event in Diagon Alley was AMAZING. She had tried games and more! She was having a complete ball. Of course, it got even more exciting when she discovered what came next. Lisa *G A S P E D!* when she saw the Bumper Cars ahead of the Nam siblings and then turned to look at them. "Guys! Guys! We HAVE to go try the Bumper Cars," she bounced from foot to foot in her bright sparkly pink converse. Yes, she had traded in her gumboots (which had unfortunately gotten chewed out by the family dog) and thus had upgraded to her new converse. The footwear had to be pink. It was a Lisa Nam trademark. She may have been twelve (and taller - she was now a whopping 4'10) which inherently meant she had to be oh so much more mature (psh... NAH not even!) but the sight of Bumper Cars made her go bananas. Maturity was thrown at the window. Lisa wanted to get to the front of the line. She impatiently tugged at one of her sibling's hands again. "Let's go!! Before the queue gets too long!" she cried as she waved her sibling's hand as if she were doing the wave with her whole body. She had yet to notice two friends already up in the queue already (V and Max) but once she realized it was them, she'd become even MORE excited. Then again... perhaps she shouldn't have downed a whole bag of sweets before arriving at the celebration? |
For Ern This celebration event at Diagon Alley looked pretty awesome and he was glad he'd asked Phoebe to go with him. This seemed like something they'd both really enjoy and he'd had a busy summer doing lots of fun things already. Which was exactly the way it should be the summer before seventh year. And it happened to be the way it was when you had two girlfriends - which wasn't exactly an official term, but it was the way Morgan saw it. He also thought it was very important that he divide his time equally and give each girl his undivided attention when he was with one of them. So, it was a busy but really fun summer. And the DA celebration fit right smack in the middle of it all. "Oh, hey! Bumper cars! Want to go for a drive?" Morgan turned to Phoebe with a grin, his hand in hers tugging her towards the ride. He could hear the exciting sounds coming from it before they even got there so of course it got his attention. But once they were in front of it, it looked even better. He leaned against the railing for a moment, watching as people already in it bumped into each other. Floating cars and magical explosions, what could be better? "Same car or should we each get our own?" he asked Phoebe. Morgan could see a good reason for either, so he'd let her decide. |
SPOILER!!: Lisa! The Diagon Alley event was really cool. Evan had seen some people from school he probably would not have run into otherwise, and even met a few others. The food was also really good, and he found he was unable to stop himself from continually going back to the Food Stands in order to get a refill on his Fizzing Lemonade. Which he was getting low on, so he'd probably steal away to fill up the cup attached to his neck via lanyard after the next attraction. Which... based on the loud noises from his youngest sister, she had now found what that attraction was going to be. Bumper cars? His body almost hurt now just thinking about it. And staring at people already enjoying the attraction, this one - like most magic events - had a twist on it. He nearly wanted to groan and bow out of the idea, but as per his usual he was powerless to say no to a sibling. Especially when Lisa was this excited. "Okay. Let's do the bumper cards. You in Maya?" He turned his attention to her. He didn't have much time to wait for her reply though, before Lisa was TUGGING on his arm and waving it around. Luckily, he'd learned long ago the best protection for his body was to be a limp noodle for moments such as this. So there was no resistance from him. Though he could only imagine how silly they looked to onlookers, as he had also hit a growth spurt from end of term and beginning of summer and now sat at 5'6, with his tiny sister looking like a madman beside him. This was normal to him though. There wasn't even a flinch. "Okay, okay. We'll go." And because he didn't want to lose Maya either, he reached back and attempted to grab her hand as well so that both were pulled along by the Tiny Tornado Nam. "It doesn't look that bad yet though." |

"I think we should try that, yes," Phoebe had her eye on a zipply looking red car, but she'd let Morgan choose, if it mattered all that much to him. "And much as I'd like to take you out with my car, I think we should share. Get to bicker about asking for directions, I'll tell you that you're going too fast, and you'll tell me I'm hitting the brake too hard. I've been reading up on Muggle cars." She kissed his jaw before releasing him. "I'm picking the car, though!" |

According to his algorithm, two possible scenarios could follow: 1) she recognises him, or 2) she does not. Although the latter would yield a higher probability of them not talking and him feeling at ease as a result, he was not sure if he preferred that option. After all, they did attend the same school for an entire year. His dislike of being in the spotlight did not mean that he really wanted to be invisible. Max decided to take a chance and - surprise! - start small talk. "Oh ... hi. You go to Hogwarts, right?" |
SPOILER!!: NAAAAAAMS Maya would've preferred to stay in today - thanks to their parents' credit card and the internet, a rather large box of books was expected to be delivered today. She had been looking forward to watching the mailman drop the parcel off... then bring it inside... and then open it and get lost in them. But when Lisa said she wanted to go to the Diagon Alley event, how was she supposed to say no? Once she got there, her eyes were as wide as saucers. Even though she had been at Hogwarts the last two years, seeing this stuff was new to her. Maya made sure she stayed close to her siblings so no one would get lost. With how crowded it was, she would not be surprised if they lost Lisa, though Evan had grown quite a bit so she was sure she would be able to find him. When Maya heard the excited gasp come from the youngest Nam, she immediately focused her attention and saw the bumper cars. "Um... sure?" she replied to Evan with a slight shrug of her shoulders. She had a feeling if she said no, that wasn't an acceptable answer. And at least it wasn't her arm practically being ripped out of its socket by Lisa. She held onto Evan's hand, making sure she didn't get left behind. "Person who gets bumped the most buys ice cream afterwards," she added, a small smirk crossing her face. With a better view of the bumper cars, she wondered what exactly made them magical - other than them hovering slightly above the ground. "Hey Lees, do you need help getting into one?" |
Quote:
"Okay, lead the way!" Morgan was happy to allow Phoebe to pick the car. They were all cool to him. "Wait, who's driving?" Or were they taking turns? |
Quote:
Ummm. "Yeah, I do. Now that I can see your FACE I think I know who you are." She nodded, all sure and whatnot. "Matt. Your name is totally Matt." V smirked smugly as she wiggled her eyebrows at him. |
Anna! and anyone who wants to crash :) Looking extra "Are you sure this is safe?" he asked, looking around. Merlin's underpants, they were the oldest people here weren't they? These kids were going to eat them alive. "You know I'm rubbish as flying things." And he had a small phobia of heights, not that he would admit it. "Maybe we should go check out the food instead." Yes food! Anna loved her foods. |
Quote:
Maybe that was too bold to ask? Phoebe pointed out the red zippy car she'd spotted earlier, and she dropped Morgan's hand to climb inside. "We can fight over the wheel, MoMac. That'll be even more death-defying, won't it? I'm swerving to take out those kids, and you're trying to mow down old people, and we just run into a wall!" |
SPOILER!!: Why do i see the Nam's going to Disney World and having matching shirts xD Rule Number 1 of hanging with the Youngest Nam: Never ever ever say no. Lisa had taught Noah this lesson from an early age causing the eldest Nam to be wrapped around his little sister's tiny pinky. Lisa had known it from a young age that her eldest brother was very compliant. It was his personality - sweet, kind Noah who didn't want to cause trouble or bend the rules too much. Unfortunately her brother did not come with them today (he had to work - EW) buuuuuut she still had Maya and Evan who were with her. Maya, like Noah, was much easier to convince of things; however, Evan was the strongest at resisting her ways Mark her words. She'd figure it out! Or so she swore to it on Dumbledore's polka dot stockings Tiny Tornado Nam finally gave up on wiggling Evan's arm spastically when ice cream was mentioned. She kind of just stopped and her eyes grew as wide as saucers at the proposal. Hehe. Excellent. "I'm in! Ice cream it is. Deal!" she beamed and waited for their turn to get into the bumper car arena. She was ever so slightly offended at the offer to help her get into a bumper car but once she eyed the cars one more time, she looked to Maya and nodded thrice. She meekly whispered. "Yes, please but don't TELL anyone." Especially any of her friends. She didn't want to appear lame. She was just tiny and sometimes being small was a struggle. "What coloured Bumper Car do you want?" |
Quote:
Morgan followed Phoebe into the red car - best choice, by the way - and casual slung an arm over her shoulders as he fit himself in next to her. "Sounds good to me... we take out everyone, right? And if we hit the wall... well.. it's just part of the fun." He was sure they'd survive. And since the car began to hover above the ground almost immediately after they sat down, Morgan figured they could get started. "I think this one's the gas," he said, quite knowledgeable about cars at least in his own mind, and stepped hard on the accelerator, sending their car racing. |
open post! Now THIS was right up her alley. Her Diagon Alley? ...Nah. That was pretty bad. Anyway. MAGICAL BUMPER CARS. This was her jam. With her mother off with her dumb boyfriend - major eyeroll that they were back together again - Sera was free to hop into an empty car. These things were already fun in the Muggle world, so add magic onto it? Imagine the chaos! The excitement! Assuming they weren't charmed to be super boring and safe. This fourteen-year-old was more than willing to test the limits. Now...who to bump into first? |
Quote:
Sense of relief at being recognised was quickly replaced by confusion. Ummm. Why was she so sure that his name was Matt? Why was she smirking and wiggling her eyebrows? (Eyebrow wiggles were absolutely the most difficult gesture to interpret.) Wait, was she making fun of him for some reason? The black-haired boy shook his head once. "It's Max. Your name ... starts with a V." Or was that it? V? So many questions in this paragraph. "Are you here alone?" he asked. |
Quote:
He was cute, did he know? Food!? "Sound good, but nooooo, we'll do this first! Work our appetite, y'know??" She beamed, tugging him towards one of the cars and basically sitting him down and fastening his seat belt for him. "Be safe!" She winked and gave him a quick kiss before darting off to take her own bumper car. No time to waste! Time for some crashing, woooooo! Her first target? Why, Kalen, of course. Not only because he was there with her, but well, most of the other people there looked younger than them, Anna didn't want to scare them off or anything. She'd be keeping an eye out to see if any of those kids acted Gryffindor-like so she knew she was okay to go and hit them too, teehee. But for now: the boyfriend! "INCOMIIIIING!!!!!" Again, no time to waste!! |
SPOILER!!: Matching shirts sounds about right. But would they stop there and would it be matching EVERYTHING? Evan would have accepted the answer no, but it was no secret Lisa would not have. They didn't really exercise that word a lot with her anyways. It's not like she asked for a lot of super FAR FETCHED or dangerous things, so what did it really hurt to say yes to make her happy? Besides, most of the time they NEEDED to go do the things she wanted to do in order to get some of the Lisa energy out. It was truly for the sanity of all involved. Like bumper cars would probably tire her out at least a little. And then he could probably get both of them to agree to Food Stands for lemonade. He squeezed her hand at the thank you for also agreeing, and considered her offer of bet. Ice cream had to be purchased by the winner? Well that was fine, Appa and Eomma had sent them with plenty. Did they need more sugar? Probably not. But this was like a fair, a fun event, so extra sugar was to be expected. Though they'd probably all be sick tomorrow. "Is this how many times Nam siblings can hit each other or are we including hits by other patrons as well?" Because there was an adult in there looking like she was out for blood. His arm was released from it's imprisonment from the smallest of them, and Evan rotated his shoulder once just to loosen it back up. It wasn't long before it was their turn, and he moved aside so Maya could help Lisa while he looked at the bumper cars. "I don't mind on color. So you guys can choose first." He'd just climb into whatever was left over. |
Quote:
Phoebe crashed into Morgan when he stepped on the gas, and she scrabbled for something to hold onto. His arm, the wheel, both. It spun easily at her touch, much more sensitive than she would have expected, and the car veered sharply in her direction. "Watch out! The Red Hornet is going to stiiiiing all of you!" Under her breath, she added, "No, horrible name. Red Death. Red... Thunder. Dead Red Head." |
SPOILER!!: they would 10000000% have matching ears. i can imagine light up sneakers too & balloons tied to Lisa so they don't lose her LOL When Evan squeezed her hand, she gave him a slight nod of her head with a smile. It was their duty to look after the youngest in the Nam clan. ? Even if it meant being dragged left and right through the entire festival. Maya wouldn't have it in her to say no to Lisa anyways. Her younger sister may have better puppy dog eyes than the family dog when he was looking for a treat. That and it wouldn't exactly benefit Maya to say no to Lisa - it may result in them relentlessly playing tricks on each other until they called in even. She was grateful to see that Lisa had decided to stop mauling their brother's arm. Though it had been quite a sight. She looked around the space, observing the others, all while pondering Evan's question. "1 point for hitting other patrons, 2 points for hitting each other," Maya decided. She had a feeling her siblings were going to be quite sneaky with this game... or maybe just Lisa. "I want a blue one!" Maya exclaimed, almost running over to it. She waited, of course and looked at Lisa with a warm smile. "Hey Lees, why don't you pick first?" And then quietly she whispered back, "C'mon let's get you in one before anyone sees." |
For Lia! Ooh... wicked magical bumpers cars! If they were anything like the muggle ones this was going to be fun. Tadhg was learning muggle things due to reading and tsking muggle studies at Hogwarts which did him a lot of good. Okay... most Purebloods would argue that they didn't need fo learn muggle ways, but he rather that he did cause who knew there could be some weird thing that happened to where they're all magic leas or so. Okay... he was watching too many virus zombie movies lately, but who knew wifh all the crazy stuff that been happening. Although he didn't remember much about last term it wasn't bad, Waiting in line for his turn he looked around fof his Bubbles and his beautiful blue eyed girlfriend in the crowd that was walking around. Biting his lip he ran his hand through his hair sighing in defeat. He hasn't seen her since she visited in Ireland and he basically been there all summer almost. He missed her like crazy along with his other friends. Moving along in the line he smiled as he gotten closer to the front of the line. He was ready to have some fun and get sprayed with whatever it was that was going to come out when he got bumped into. Seeing all the different stuff that sprayed or came out he laughed watching. It just made him more excited to get on the ride and experience it himself. He seen that you could ride with someone else, he frowned thinking about riding with Lia and then again by themselves if she wanted to but she wasn't here. |
free to collide with ^_^ "Bumper Cars! SWEET" Freddie exclaimed. This was already becoming the best summer ever as he raced ahead of his family to jump into one of the cars. He just had to start it up and get revving right? A grin remained on his face as he stepped on the pedal and began turning the wheel to pull out. Hey, was that some of his classmates? He squinted ahead. Looks like the fun was just beginning. |

The only thing on her list that wasn't really accounted for was.. lots of time with Tadhg. To no fault of their own. He was away in Ireland and though she had gone there to join him for a bit, it wasn't the same. When you got to see someone all day, everyday, not seeing them for a few weeks was waaaaaaay too long to be apart. Lia spoke to him everyday though and that helped a little. Plus he was coming back in a few days. Sighing quietly to herself, she squinted a little in the early afternoon sunlight. Was she seeing things? Tilting her head slightly she continued to walk towards the line that lead to the Magical Bumper Cars. Was that? No, no, it couldn't be.. Lia shook her head a little and blinked her eyes. He would've told her if he was coming home earlier. Right? But.. she knew that messy dirty blonde hair anywhere and the height was too perfect. Not to mention those gorgeous sapphire blue eyes that she couldn't look away from when he looked her way. "Tadhg!" she called out to him, already heading straight for him. |
