"I see.." she said. Might as well add in some of her problems and stuff. "Well we have a new department head. He's alright though." she smiled. Wait, that wasn't really a problem was it? "Although I don't think anyone will be able to work well ever since what happened a few weeks ago.." she said. She remembered it very well and she shuddered every time she did. But as intimidating as a break sounds she couldn't help but pile herself with a bunch of paperwork. Asking if sh wanted to get anything Brooke smiled. She was thinking of a ample donut but this was the leaky cauldron. She doubted if they even sold something as simple as a donut. "I think I'll have a butterbeer.." she said. "Shall I order?" she asked as she stood up.

Kody sulked back towards the entrance. It was time to go home, and why she was going all the way to the entrance to leave, she had no idea, but she was. Mehhh, she didn't really even WANNA go back yet. There was more shopping to be done!

Spotting a girl sitting on a bench, laden with bags, Kodykins giggled, looks like someone had fun shopping. Tehe. Smiling at the fellow shopper, Kody stopped, waving and gesturing to the seat next to her. "Mind if I join you?"

Camila listened to Brooke as she told her about their new head which reminded her of their new head. Ms. Dora? Or was it Lora? Urgh, she had forgotten the woman's name! She had to ask Malachi for it (who'd probably think she was stupid or something, what an impression to show the new division head :/) or maybe she'll bump into Diana tomorrow and will be able to ask her.
"Why? What happened a few weeks ago?" Camila asked her curiously, then she thought she needed to explain why she didn't know what was happening or Brooke would think that she was cut off from the world. "See, I've been abroad. And no one has filled me in yet." She explained, regretfully remembering Malachi back in the office. But he'd been late, and she was really hungry and in the need of some emergency shopping! That desk was disgustingly plain!

"Oh, I'd be grateful if you do!" Camila smiled at Brooke, warming towards her by the second. "Can you get me some Ceasar Salad and .. umm, some mashed potatoes please?" She told her making her mind on the spot. Her stomach grumbled again at the mention of food. "And a Lemonade too." She added smiling. "I'll go and find us a seat inside then." She told her, getting up with her.

Brooke closed her eyes and then opened them. She told Camila everything she remembered including the four hogwarts house animals coming to life and attacking them. She also included how gigantic the badger became and how deadly staples can be when charmed to attack. "..and well we got to stop it but the mess they've caused was unbelievable!" she exclaimed. She noted down her order and Camila's. "Are you that hungry?" she said with a laugh.

OOC: Should I really order or just pretend that I did?

Camila's eyes popped in outrage when she heard what had happened. House animals coming to life? What in the name of merlin was that all about?! "B-but -how ...?" She managed to splutter. How can something like that happen? No wonder people won't be able to work like before! This was unbelievable! God, part of her was glad she wasn't here to witness these horrifiying events but another part scolded her for not being here and being thankful.
She chuckled at Brooke's question, "I overslept this morning, didn't have time for breakfast and was late for work!" She told her about her late-'n-lazy day of work.

OOC; haha, yeah, I reckon you order at the main bar. I'll take Camila to the main floor seating and as its food you don't have to wait and it'll be brought back to us.

"Somebody accidentally charmed them I guess.." she said with a scrunch of her nose. Although she didn't know who did it, he or she was lucky that they weren't caught in the act..Not yet..
"As my mum always say, "Keep an alarm clock by your side everyday because you'll never know when you'll be needing it" Beh, you can say the same thing to a calculator and I still manage to forget bringing one!" she laughed. Silly old mum. "Well I'll go and order then." she said with a wave of her hand as she walked up to the main bar.

"God! I wonder who'd do such a stupid thing!" She said in outrage. They must be stupid or something to do something of the sort. But wait, they might've also wanted to cause a mayhem. She sighed, one couldn't understand people these days and there were many weirdos roaming around the place!

"Your mum was right!" She chuckled, standing up. She shook her head at the laziness she felt and was glad that Brooke was going to order for them. Sigh. That trip took away the best of her. "And I'll go find us seats then!" She said smiling after Brooke, glad that she was talking to someone and walking into the main seating area.

With a small smile on his face, Jaxton walked through Diagon Alley so that he could get to the Leaky, for he was meeting Damien. An old friend that he was meeting once again now that they were both in the country. It had been far too long since they had been together for a drink... and far longer since they had been together with Gabriel. Hopefully, that would be sorted soon though.

Finally making his way through to The Cauldron, he shook himself to shake off the cold chill of the February air and shivered as the heat from the pub took over him. Looking around the small entranceway, Jax took in the faces to see if Damien had met him there. Not seeing his friend, he slipped his long coat off, and stood around to wait for him.

Damien hobbled through Diagon Alley leaning heavily on his pinstriped cane, hat pulled low. He was smiling at everyone he passed on his way to meet Jaxton. It had been so long since he and the old chap had met up.

Finally spying him he tipped his hat back a little bit. Stopping and leaning on the cane he said in his smooth Southern drawl, "Well well well... look what the cat dragged in." Chuckling lightly he took a few steps forward and extended his hand for his old friend to take.

Jaxton looked up, noting his best friend and raised an eyebrow slowly. "I assume you are referring to yourself... I am simply too amazing to be dragged anywhere." Jaxton replied to the American male, snotty to the core. After he had straightened the open collar of his shirt, with an attitude, before he dropped the act, laughing happily.

"It's been far too long, Damien." Jaxton said as he took his friend's hand in a warm welcome. He moved closer, laying a single hand on Damien's back for a few seconds before he pulled back. "How are you, old man?" He asked his fellow American as he motioned to the cane with a raised eyebrow. "Should we get a drink?" He said suspecting that it wouldn't be a short story.

Chuckling at Jax Damien shook his head. "Ridiculous how pretentious you are, you know that?" he said lightly. He knew it was all an act. Damien did the same as Jax and clapped the man on the back in a manly embrace of sorts.

"Indeed it has been far too long my friend," Damien agreed heartily. Too damn long. Giving his friend a LOOK he clutched his chest with the hand that wasn't gripping the cane and said, "That hurts, man... really hurts. Besides you are older than I am. So logic would have it that YOU are the old man here. I simply was injured when I ran afoul some pirates." Yeah... pirates. Great coverstory so far. Nodding his head he pushed off of the cane and said, "A drink is just what the Healer ordered." He waited for Jax to lead the way inside to a table.

Alicia looked around by the time she arrived right in front of The Leaky Cauldron. It was such a strange place for her. In fact, she hadn't been properly introduced to a wizarding world as she grew up in a muggle neighbourhood and sent to a muggle school in London. Her parents had never really talked about it either, yet they were all pureblood. She was actually amazed by the surrounding. I've passed through this road before! She spoke to herself. It's unbelievable! She was just having a brief conversation with herself. She saw a few people around there. She smiled brightly as she knew she wasn't all alone there. She stood there for a moment until she was ready enough to approach them. "Err.. Hi there!" She tried to smile, waiting for them to respond.

(I hope it's ok with you if I join you guys RP-ing here? XD)

Samantha Martin or rather 'Sammy' walked through the doors of the Leaky Cauldron. She had to walk here seeing as her parents were to busy to take her to Diagon Alley. She looked around to see people talking with there friends. She shook her head. She was never the one for friends she was more a loner, not that she minded it kept her focused on her school work. It was her first year going to Hogwarts and her parents gave her enough money to get her things and sent her on her way. As often as she had been there she didn't know where to go. She never paid attention to where she was going. 'I find where I am going, soon.....hopefully' she thought to herself as she walked away from the door.

Raven arrived at Leaky Cauldron, as a girl arrived, he amazed of the shop *almost not visible in his eyes, so narrow*

Raven dont know what to do *he is Muggleborn*, or what to say, he just smiled back to the girl.

Raven replied to the courtiousness of the girl, "Hello, there, I'm Raven!" *nervously says* "i'm about to be in Diagon Alley, but there is no passage ways" *Raven say while his legs shaking, and his hand is cold*

Raven stop talking, waiting for the respond of the girl

Simon entered the Leaky Cauldron and thought what weird of a name that was. He's never heard such name back in the States. He did though, quite like the ice cream and candy shop. He spent most of his time there that he had forgotten to buy his school supplies. There was still some time left, so he didn't worry about it.

The boy was so busy in his thoughts that he didn't see the person in front of him. "Oh man! I'm sorry." he apologized for almost bumping into them.

Alicia was glad that finally there was someone responded to her. She gave him a warm friendly smile as if she had known him for a long time. She couldn't have been more excited than ever, realizing the fact that she had something new to discover. new places and new friends.

"Oh, hi! I'm Alicia!" She deliberately withdrew her right hand to shake. "Pleased to meet you here, Raven!" Her voice started to get a bit shaky as she was kinda nervous herself.

"I honestly have no idea where it is. Probably it's hidden somewhere around here." She frowned, thinking how to get into that place. "Well, I've got a list of stuff to buy there. You know.. since I'm a new student." She rolled her eyes, tried to make a joke, but failed anyway.

"Umm.. you must be a new student, too, don't you?" She continued, her smile faded, as her attention was now turned to someone else. "I think there's a new student too over there." Pointed her finger at Sammy. "Let's go and ask. Maybe she knows the way?" She rolled her eyes back at Raven.

Raven grab the Alicia's hand, *still wide open smile*, "I'm from Philippines, and new at London, I'm here to fetch some Hogwarts thing" *Raven deliberately show up his list*and look around at the wall, he saw two other people, a girl (Sammy) and a boy (Simon), he nodded to Alicia and says "let us ask them, maybe they knew how to be in"

and so, Raven with Alicia, walked to Sammy and Simon.

"Hi there", Raven says, when they with Sammy and Simon.
"Are you two, newbie here also", "We wonder how to be in Diagon Alley, can you show us the way, please"

*Raven is firm standing, but deep inside him, he is shaking and cold, while he approach the witch and wizard*

"Philippines! that's on the other side of the globe!" she was amazed. "I hope you like it here, in London." She smiled. "The weather is pretty bad though, especially right now. It's winter." She explained.

She then followed Raven walking toward the other two guys and waited behind him as he asked for the way to Diagon Alley. While waiting, her eyes were looking to the distance, observing the surroundings around them, until her head finally turned around and saw a rather old suspicious bar behind her. "Hey, probably we should check that bar. It looks a little bit strange, don't you think so?" She pointed out her finger to the small entrance of the Leaky Cauldron.

Raven shyly replied to Alicia amazement, and simply smile to her.

Raven and Alicia headed to the Bar, approach the first person they found there.

"excuse sir, were first time being here, could you please, tell us how to be in Diagon Alley"

the old wizard, say "I can show you the way, if you like to"

Raven Snappy replied "yes, sir, will be happy, if you do so"

the old Wizard, stand up and walked down down the Bar headed to the wall.

Raven is out of mouth, "what is this old hag doing" in his mind* "is he insane to brag to the wall"

the old wizard, tapped the wall with his wand and muttered incantation.

the wall is vanishing in an instant and showing a street full of people in cloaks.


Raven give is gratitude to the old wizard "Thanks Sir, you're a life saver"

The old wizard replied back "this is Diagon alley, hope you find your needed. young witch and wizards of the years"

Raven excitedly stepped up to the north street, while he gave his best smile to the old wizard and nodded to him.

He smile to alicia along the way entering diagon alley, at last.

Alicia was just quiet, followed him behind and suddenly she burst out laughing, heard him saying what is this old hag doing.

"I can still hear that you know." She tried to stop chuckling. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, yet she looked at old hag carefully as he was doing all sort of incantation to break the wall. She didn't blink at all when the wall suddenly vanished. Her mouth was half open, full of amazement.

"Oh my gosh.. It's like a dream." She spoke really soft as no one could ever hear what she just said. After a few seconds, she eventually blinked and glanced at Raven. "I'm not dreaming, aren't I?" Her eyes widened, as she was still in shock. She then realized that she actually frightened the old wizard because of her sudden odd behaviour. She turned to him and thanked him. "You're the man!" She giggled slightly, smiled at him, yet tried to hype up this awkward situation.

She walked forward to enter Diagon Alley, but she stopped halfway. "Rave, let's ask both of them to follow us, at least we found the entrance! It's such an awesome day, ain't it?" She stared at his eyes in a minute. She grinned at the end.

"Hey guys...!" She waved at Simon and Sammy, tried to get their attention. "We've found Diagon Alley!" She shouted with excitement. "Not particulary found Diagon Alley. It's been there since forever. Oh well, whatever.." Sometimes she had these little arguments with herself which she couldn't help it herself.

"Would you want to join us?" She waited for their responses.

Raven become red when he notice Alicia pick his word, then suddenly grinning, as he muttered to her "My bad side, can't stand it, sometime"

Raven says "Well, its just like a dream" *both for old wizard and Alicia* "What else you expect from us being raised by non-magic people"

Raven automatically stop in the middle of the street, when Alicia turn back his back to get attention of the other two young people.

"You may come with us, the more, the merrier" he deliberate says

P

Simon was so into his thoughts that he almost didnt hear the two people talking to him. He turned around and said, "Hey guys, wait for me." and ran towards them. He didn't know who they were but meeting new people was nice.

Alicia giggled, "well, I can understand, obviously. Sometimes, I do that too, without realizing it." she agreed to what Raven just mentioned "Exactly. Screw my parents. They're not even muggles, you know. But they act like ones."

She then saw Simon run toward both of them. "Hi there. I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Alicia. Just call me Al, that'd do. and you are.....?" She beamed as she spoke.

She rolled her eyes back at Raven as she waited Simon to answer. "Umm about that.. No offense, really."

Quote:



Raven answer Alicia with "Well my mother a muggle, she was shocked when my father confess that he is kinda squib", *Raven grin* his attitude toward people is somewhat predictable

Raven simply nodded to both Alicia and Simon, introduced himself to Simon
"The name is Revellius, Raven will do"

Raven paused waiting what Simon is about to speak.

Simon felt strange running towards two strangers but once they introduced themeselves he felt better. "Hi Ali and Raven." he smiled and waved. "I'm Simon...Simon Macalister." he introduced himself.
