After Ginny finishes her final year at Hogwarts, she's stunned to learn that Harry, who's been out of school a year, is engaged. Not wanting to return to the Burrow, which will be full of wedding planning and activity, Ginny escapes to Diagon Alley for a bit of independent living. The twins kindly take Ginny in and offer her a job, and she drags Neville and Luna along as flatmates. Who knows what will happen now that they are living independently?

This is a VERY loose storyline so far, but we want to have the chance to explore these characters as rising adults. I have all of the main characters filled at this point. If you are interested, go ahead and post your character idea. To be honest, I'd prefer HP characters (but not necesarily HRH) rather than made-ups... although a quality made-up is always welcome. If I don't feel your character will add to the story, I probably won't say yes. Also, we're quite serious about RPing, so if you aren't on at night EST, CST, or you will only post very sporadically, don't bother. This is advanced RPing, so YES, your posts need to be longer and more detailed and we DO care about your spelling and grammar.

Ginny - Cassirin
Neville - Spots
Luna - Biochemkris
Fred - tylert_28
George - Cassirin
Ron - Poirot
Hermione - Lumos299
Harry - Lumos299
Elizabeth - Kirstie McGonagall
Guinevere - Jennifer_w
Dobby- Spots

"Mmmm.... okay," Ginny agreed, luxuriating in the feel of his hand on her face. She snuggled close to him on the couch and they sat quietly for several moments. "I think you want us to stay in so you don't have to buy me that fancy dinner you promised me," she said lightly, winking at him when he looked at her in shock.

Snape had forgotten all about his arm in all the commotion over his slash wound. But, before he could stop her from moving to apply the potion to his arm, she had taken off the sling and pushed up his sleeve, revealing the faded, yet clearly visible, Dark Mark. He watched her carefully for her reaction and was quite surprised. Instead of jumping up and running out the door, a look of disgust, or some voiced admonistion, she turned sad eyes toward him, meeting his own eyes before she continued her work, her hand moving over the Dark Mark as she applied the potion.

It was at times like these when he wished he could erase that mark. While it served him well in the fight against the Dark Lord, it was forever a reminder of the mistakes he had made in his youth. It would forever be a sign that, until the day the Dark Lord was defeated, his life was forfeit. He could never be close to anyone, for fear of them being used or tortured should he be ratted out as a spy. Snape sighed and shifted his gaze away from Tara, staring straight ahead and wondering why he was thinking about becoming close to people.

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 01:03 AM

When she was finished applying the potion, Tara rose and went to the sink to wash her hands. The potion had numbed her hand a great deal, and she shook her right hand to regain sensation in it before turning back to Snape. "Why don't I help you to bed and then you can take your draught and I'll leave you to your healing?" She left it at that, gathering up the medicinal potions and replacing them in their basket. Once again, she climbed on a chair and put the basket up on the shelf.

All her work was done in silence, and she finally came to stand back in front of him. Tara wasn't sure precisely why it bothered her so much - it wasn't as if she hadn't suspected that Snape was a Death Eater, but the Dark Mark made it so much more real. But the question remained as to why she felt that the loss of this man would be such a terrible thing? She shook off her thoughts and waited to see if he needed any more help.

"Wha-?!" Harry looked at Ginny and saw she was just kidding. He smiled, and moved as close as he could, holding her tightly. "Or maybe," He said quietly, "I just want you all for myself." He looked at her with a raised brow awaiting her response.

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 01:31 AM

"That's permissable," Ginny said quietly, watching Harry's eyes. "But you're such a goose," she added in a whisper as he pulled her closer. "You've had me all to yourself since I was 10 and I saw you at King's Cross." Ginny's lips were only inches from Harry's ear as she spoke, and she closed the distance and rained long, slow kisses on his earlobe and neck, one hand curling around his neck and into his hair and the other removing his glasses.

BG · 08-05-2004, 01:43 AM

Harry could have sworn he felt his whole body go numb when Ginny's lips upon him. He let her continue to kiss him, then enjoying the feeling of her hands in his hair. She took his glasses off and he felt his stomach sort of flip over. He pulled her face up from his neck and kissed her deeply on the lips.

Sir_Spots · 08-05-2004, 01:58 AM

Neville just sat and watched the events unfolding in front of him. As Guin joined them and startled Luna awake, Fred and George fought over whom was the womanizer. Hermione was just rolling her eyes and Neville was laughing inside. He was so glad he moved in with them all. Life wouldn't be boring anymore.

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 01:59 AM

Ginny was crushed against Harry, and his lips were wreaking havoc on her senses. She sighed against his mouth and pulled away finally, smoothing down his hair and looking uncertainly at him. "I really think I should go now," Ginny said.

BG · 08-05-2004, 02:12 AM

"Why?" He asked, pulling away from her a bit and catching his breath. "You don't have to leave. You don't ever have to leave..." He was making no sense even to himself, but was saying the first things that surfaced in his mind.

Biochemkris · 08-05-2004, 02:26 AM

Snape stood up and made his way over to the bed. Before he could struggle with the sheets, Tara pulled them back. They stood facing in each other in silence for a few moments, neither one seeming to want to make the first move or sound. He didn't want to ask but, she had helped him too much already, what was one more favor? Highly embarassed, though no color could be found upon his pallid complexion, he cleared his throat and softly spoke, "If you could... Help me out of this shirt?"

Tara nodded and he turned around so she could reach up and pull the already unbuttoned shirt off from him a little easier. He felt her delicate hands grasp the collar and give it a tug. As she did so, the shirt fell to his hands, revealing his pale, scarred, back. Snape wiggled his good hand free from the shirt and turned back around so that Tara could help him ease his injured arm out of the other sleeve.

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 02:27 AM

"Harry, I love you and I trust you, but I don't trust myself with you right now," Ginny's voice was low and she was embarrassed but honest. "When you kiss me, I feel like you are the entire world and as long as I'm with you, all is perfect. But you just told me you loved me a few days ago, and you were just engaged. And maybe its selfish of me, but until you know what exactly you want out of this relationship, I just can't give you all of me. And..." her voice dropped to a whisper, "I'm just not ready yet."

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 02:34 AM

Tara helped Snape remove his shirt, careful to avoid the places she had so recently treated. The fact that this wasn't the first time he was injured wasn't lost on Tara as she took in his scarred back. She drew a shuddering breath, then came around to the front of him to help pull the shirt through the sling.

Apparently, Tara had not been thinking clearly when she offered to help him to bed, because once she got there she was completely embarassed. Now, however, her embarassment was even greater and she knew she was probably blushing a bit. Thankfully, Snape kept his chambers darker than normal, so he probably couldn't even tell. She hesitated, waiting for him to tell her what he needed help with next.

BG · 08-05-2004, 02:54 AM

Harry looked her in the eye, and took her hand, interlacing their fingers. "Alright..." He didn't really want her to go, but he couldn't deny her what she wanted. "But... you don't have to leave if you don't want to. But, if you do, I completely understand, and that's fine."

Biochemkris · 08-05-2004, 03:00 AM

Snape saw the slight tinge of pink to Tara's cheeks just as he caught her eyes for a quick moment. She was as embarassed as he was. It was intersting how, on the numerous occasions when Madam Pomfrey performed the task of mending, undressing, redressing, and putting him to bed, neither of them were ever embarrassed. It probably had something to do with the fact that she had been mending him since his first year and was probalby more like a mother to him than his own mother.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he noticed Tara... Since when had he been calling her Tara? Shaking his head as Professor Sinistra still stood in front of him, apparently waiting for further instruction, he said, "Thank you very much for your help. I should be able to take care of myself, now."

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 03:09 AM

Ginny smiled at Harry - so willing to do what she wanted. It was a nice change after dealing with brothers and boyfriends who always wanted to do what THEY wanted. She squeezed his hand. "I'll stay, but... don't kiss me anymore," she grinned. "We can do anything else, but no more kissing."

Tara shifted awkwardly from one foot to the other. He was dismissing her, but... he was still mostly dressed. As much as she wanted to run up to her tower and hide out, she also had the perfectionist streak that wouldn't let her leave this job half finished. "Can I help you with anything else? Your shoes or..." She stopped, then repeated, "Your shoes."

Biochemkris · 08-05-2004, 03:19 AM

Snape looked down with a furrowed brow. Why wasn't she leaving? It was one thing to need help with buttons on a shirt but, surely she didn't think he needed help untying his boots one handed and then kicking them off? "Thank you, but I believe I can manage on my own," he said.

BG · 08-05-2004, 03:19 AM

"It'll be tough..." Harry said seriously, but smiling, "But I'll do it if I get to have you stay here with me." He leaned back against the couch, still holding Ginny close to him, and still holding her hand in his. "So what do you want to do? Or talk about?"

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 03:30 AM

Tara turned to leave, but she turned to speak over her shoulder. "You know, I'm here because I want to be and I'm only trying to help. There's no need to treat me as if I'm some sort of house elf," her voice was cold but her face was pink from her anger. She turned then and stalked up to where he still stood by the bed. With a push that was just shy of being gentle, Tara shoved Snape onto the bed. "And you're ill. You just lost half your blood through your stomach. Sit down already and stop being so bloody stubborn!"

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 03:37 AM

Ginny settled in next to Harry and replied, "I don't know. This is nice." After a few more long moments, Ginny laughed and said, "I could make you a snack. And why don't you turn on your radio and see if you can pick up the WWN."

Biochemkris · 08-05-2004, 03:43 AM

He frowned at her words. What did she mean treating her like a house elf? Thinking she would be slamming the door soon, Snape never would have suspected what happened next. She strode back over to him and pushed him rather forcefully onto his bed. Snape hissed in pain as his stomach muscles contracted in reflex and his broken arm tried to come out of its sling as his body attempted to catch itself after the push.

He attempted to sit back up but, now that he was laying down, his abdominal muscles refused to work. Snape lay his good arm across his stomach and concentrated on breathing normally again. "It would seem that you need to work on your bedside manner," he sneered. "It isn't customary for the mediwitch to cause undue pain to her patients.

BG · 08-05-2004, 03:53 AM

"I can agree to that," Harry said good-naturedly. Ginny went off to the little kitchen to find something to make and Harry went into his bedroom to get his radio. He grabbed it and went to the kitchen where Ginny was. She was picking things out of his refrigerator and he set the radio down on the small table. "Find anything edible in there?"

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 04:02 AM

Tara cringed as she realized she had caused him pain. That was not her intention, but there was no going back now. "I'm not a mediwitch and you aren't my patient," she explained as if to a small child. "I am your colleague and I WAS trying to assist you. You needn't be so dismissive of people who would help you with no gain for themselves. It is unusual enough." She lifted his feet up onto the bed, more careful now not to jolt him or cause him to try to help himself and hurt his arm. Once he was laying across the bed, she struggled with his boots for a moment before dropping them to the floor. Her face was all stubborn lines as she looked at him now.

"I can make popcorn," Ginny responded as she removed butter and salt and set them on the counter. She melted some butter on the stove and put the popcorn kernals in, letting them simmer on low heat for a moment. Harry fiddled with the radio for several moments before he found the Wizarding Wireless Network playing Celestina Warbeck. "Mmmm, I love this song. My father always makes my mum dance with him when it plays at home," Ginny swung her hips and shifted the pan on the stove.

BG · 08-05-2004, 04:11 AM

Harry raised his eyebrows as he watched her. She seemed to just be asking him to do this. "Care to dance?" He asked, taking her hand and leading her towards the middle of the kitchen. It was a slow song, so he placed his hands on her hips as she wrapped hers around the back of his neck.

Biochemkris · 08-05-2004, 04:12 AM

He was too tired and in too much pain to retort. Snape allowed her to lift his feet onto the bed and remove his boots. When he heard the boots hit the stone floor, he turned his head to see her staring at him. Her look was unnerving, though he couldn't explain why. Wasn't she going to leave now that she had successfully taken off his shoes, as she had wanted?

Cassirin · 08-05-2004, 04:24 AM

Ginny couldn't have been happier in a ballroom surrounded by crowds of finely dressed people. She settled her head on his chest and let the music move her, even as she unconsciously wound and rewound Harry's hair through her fingers. The song ended, and she looked up at him in disappointment as one a bit faster started. "Spin me?" Ginny asked with a tentative smile.

Tara was not at all sure what the point of this exercise was now. She brought out her wand and levitated Snape with a flick, turning down his sheets while he hovered above them. Settling him back down in the bed, Tara wanted to turn and walk away, but his slacks were dingy and bloody, and the stubborn witch in her wanted to prove that she was brave enough to do the full job.

Tara struggled with his belt buckle for a moment before it came loose. "Merlin help me," she muttered under her breath as she loosened Snape's pants and slid them down his legs, finally removing them and tossing them on top of his shoes. Without even pausing in her movements, she grabbed the edge of his bedsheet and pulled it up to his chin, ignoring the black silk boxers that were all his pale body was left wearing. With the last shred of her dignity, Tara turned and dimmed the lights, moving to the door.
