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

Hermione watched Fred and was questioning why on earth she was letting Fred Weasley gather her and Ginny's underwear. She decided that she just didn't care, even if she was blushing, and it was obvious Fred was too. "Here, Fred... let me do it..." She said, getting up and starting to summon the rest of the underwear to herself and putting the pile in the bag which apparently the boys had brought the underwear down in. Hermione decided she did care, and that she didn't want to put Fred through the awkwardnes of this situation.

Mad Eye Touz · 09-13-2004, 02:17 AM

Fred nodded to Hermione and let her help, but he continued summoning gilr's underwear to him from all over the yard. Finally...all were collected and in Hermione's possession. A bit of an awkward moment stretched out between the two as both stood in the yard with Hermione holding a bag full of underwear. "Um...Hermione...I'm really sorry again. I swear I didn't mean to swipe your drawers...I just wanted to get back at Ginny..So let me make it up to you." Fred walked over to Mione and turned his back to her. "Hop on and I'll take you up to your room to get rid of those, and then I'll personally make you dinner. What do you say?"he asked bending down a bit so she could hop on.

BG · 09-13-2004, 02:44 AM

Hermione smiled and didn't consider not going with Fred for any more than a split second. She hopped on his back and put her arms around his neck, holding the bag in her hands and laughing a little bit. "I guess I can agree to that... what are you making me for dinner?"

Mad Eye Touz · 09-13-2004, 09:17 PM

Fred all but ran up the stairs, trying to make Hermione laugh and forget all about the stupid stunt he and George had just pulled. Seeing Hermione cry had hurt him way more than any kick, punch, bite, scratch or poke Ginny had ever given him. They dropped off the bag in Hermione's room and Fred jumped down each step, holding on the Hermione tight.

"I'll make you the only thing I've learned to make in the two decades I've been alive..."Fred said re-entering the kitchen. George and Elizabethe were there, and Fred dropped Hermione down lightly at the table beside them. "And George will help. Hope everyone likes Peanut Butter and Jelly!" Fred grabbed an apron and tied it quickly around his brother's waist before he could protest and he went and grabbed the bread and Peanut Butter.

BG · 09-13-2004, 09:38 PM

Hermione giggled as Fred chauferred her around the house and came to a stop in the kitchen, softly setting her down. She took a seat and watched Fred and George get to work on the sandwiches... even she was only really watching Fred... george seemed as if he was being somewhat of a git. She watched Fred get out the bread and hoped that this time he was cooking, he didn't lose any clothing...

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-14-2004, 04:27 AM

Elizabeth jumped as George slammed the door, she smiled warily at him and resumed chopping vegetables. A few moments later Fred and Hermione came in and Fred said something about making sandwiches.

"I'm making soup if anyone wants some" she said.

Tara's breath was stolen as she found herself firmly pressed between Snape's unmoving form and the closed door, but for the first time, the closed space didn't make her want to sit down and take deep breathes.  To the contrary, she didn't really want to be doing anything but this.

When Snape pulled back to be sure of her reaction, Tara took that opportunity to shove Snape in the general direction of the bed.  She couldn't see it, but she knew it was there and they would find it.  "Let's avoid distractions, shall we?"  She requested, her hands flying to remove her own outer robes this time.  "I hope you don't find me too pushy," she said, letting the robes fall to the floor as she moved to her buttons with deft fingers.

ooc: I decided to quote Tara's last pot for all our benefit, seeing as how it's quite a few pages back and we might not remember it

Snape was thrown backwards, off balance, and quite surprised as Tara pushed him further into the room and began to remove her clothes. Unable to form a response, he merely removed his own outer robe and pulled his wand from the pocket. He quickly charmed the door as he put his arms around Tara and began to walk backwards toward the bed. He dropped the wand on the bedside table and kissed Tara as his hands moved to deftly unbutton his own shirt.

Sir_Spots · 09-15-2004, 03:56 AM

"I would," answered Neville as he followed the voices he heard in the kitchen. He opened the door as Elizabeth asked. "If ...uh there's enough," he added looking at all of the people there. "Hi guys," he said to the gang who looked like they had just finished running around outisde.

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 04:05 AM

Tara finished with her own buttons and moved eagerly to assist Snape with his. She paused with her hands on his belt buckle, drinking in his face with her eyes. His dark eyes were on her as well, and she could feel herself falling into his gaze. "I keep waiting for the interruption to come," Tara grinned hesitantly even as she closed the distance between them and let one hand slide over Snape's pale chest.

Biochemkris · 09-15-2004, 04:13 AM

He sighed as her hand came in contact with the bare skin of his chest and he slipped out of his trousers. Suddenly, he backed up and turned his back on Tara as he grabbed his wand off the bedside table. Snape leaned one hand on the bed as he pointed his wand at the grate and walled it up. He didn't want any distractions this time, not from anyone. If someone needed him for something, they could wait until he was finished. It had been a long time since he had been with a woman and never one that... Snape shook his head, as he lowered his wand and prepared to turn back around, this was not the time to be thinking about the past.

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 04:26 AM

Snape moved away from Tara, but she relaxed when she realized he was simply guarding against intrusions. When he didn't turn around again, however, Tara finished undressing and stood waiting for him, shifting a bit awkwardly. It was chilly in his dungeons, but she hadn't been cold a moment ago. With a sigh, she crawled onto the bed and around until she was in front of Snape's still form. There was a faraway look on his face that took Tara's mind of any possible embarrassment from kneeling in front of him in complete undress. She put her hands on his arms, drawing his attention back to her. "If you don't want to..."

Jennifer_w · 09-15-2004, 04:27 AM

Guin had spent the night before ignoring the twins and falling fast asleep and when the twins and the girls had left she didn't dare go near them even when they came back. All day Guin had been helping Mrs.Weasley around the house setting it up for all these people so that they could actually live there for now. It took must of the day to get it ready for everyone but it was worth it to get her mind off things.

Before Guin went down for dinner and to help, she decided that she should send her parents a letter telling themshe was alright. So after writingand sending it off, making sure nothing was reveiled in case, she made her way down to the kitchen and opened the door ready and willing to help...

Biochemkris · 09-15-2004, 04:34 AM

Snape was surprised when Tara crawled onto the bed and placed her hands on his arms. It wasn't a spell; she was here because she truly wanted to be. He knew that. So, why did he feel that it wasn't true? Snape looked down at the wand in his hand for a moment before sliding his arms out from beneath Tara's hands and placing it gently back on the table. He slid onto the bed so that he was seated beside her and placed a tentative arm around her shoulders. "No," he finally responded, almost whispering in her ear though his serious eyes were focused intently on her eyes, searching for any hint that she didn't truly want to be here. "I do but, I need to be sure... this is what you want..."

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 04:37 AM

George was annoyed. Fred and Hermione were goofing off, finding ways to be close and touch each other. He refused to help with the sandwiches, but they weren't really a two person job, so there was no way they'd be a three-person job. Instead, he stood in the kitchen wearing his mother's flowered apron and watched the action go on around him. Neville, Harry, and Ginny appeared from the hallway, and George watched them move quickly to help out. He was about to join Elizabeth in whatever her project was when Guin appeared for the first time that day. He grinned broadly at her, and stepped to the door to speak with her. No one else seemed to notice her yet, and he took advantage of the situation. "Can I speak with you?"

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 04:50 AM

Tara turned astonished eyes on Snape. "Severus, I'm not naked in your bed because I want to play a game of Wizarding Chess." She leaned into his tentative embrace, shivering as his warm skin came into contact with her own. She had suspected he'd be cool and dry, like his handshake, but he was all heat. "I here because I want to be with you. No... I'm here because I need to be with you." She pushed up against him to reach his lips with her own.

Biochemkris · 09-15-2004, 04:57 AM

It was enough. Though he was still somewhat shocked that she was willinginly in his bed, the moment Tara's lips touched his own, Snape's tentative embrace became sure and confident. He deeped the kiss and laid her down, relishing in the feeling of her soft, warm, skin brushing against him...

Snape pulled the sheets up to cover Tara's small form, knowing that the dungeons could be cold to those who weren't used to them. He cradled her in the crook of his arm and kissed the top of her head, breathing in the scent of her, once more. He closed his eyes and tried not to marvel at the fact that she was still there, beside him.

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 05:21 AM

Tara snuggled against Snape's chest, wondering at how she had gone from conservative spinster professor to this warm-blooded woman who was laying so blissfully in her colleague's bed. Her eyes closed and her face pressed against the warmth of his chest, Tara wrapped her arms more firmly around Snape. "I..." she paushed, not wanting to think about what she had been tempted to say. It was the heat of the moment. She mustn't slip up and believe it meant something.

Pressing on, Tara opened her eyes and smiled sleepily at Snape. "I think a part of me didn't believe we would ever get here."

Biochemkris · 09-15-2004, 05:30 AM

It wasn't just a part of him that hadn't believed they would get to this point. Though he knew they had an agreement, he never truly believed she would ever come to be in his bed. Thinking on the agreement, Snape realized that they probably should be going their separate ways. He knew it wouldn't do him any good to lay there with Tara cuddled in his arms while they chatted about their relationship when, in fact, their relationship was supposed to be merely physical and professional. Neither of them were looking for emotional attachment.

With those thoughts, Snape gently removed her arms from around him and slid out of the bed. "There is a second bathroom with a shower, if you like," he said, pointing to a door in the far corner as he walked toward another, matching door. "I don't know why one professor would require two bathrooms but, the house elves insist on maintaining both of them, nonetheless."

Snape made sure not to look at her as he walked away. If he looked back, he was sure he would lose his nerve and go running back to her. How could a woman have so much power over him; to make his careful control, falter? He placed his hand upon the door handle and disappeared inside the bathroom, sighing in relief for having gotten away.

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 05:43 AM

Tara was glad that Snape was the one to break their moment. It had gone on too long, had started to feel right and necessary. While watching him walk across the room was harder than it should be, the fact that it hurt so much was absolute proof that she needed to draw the boundaries in their relationship a bit deeper in her consciousness.

Tara found a thick black robe on the chair by the bed. Wrapping it around herself, she padded into the indicated bathroom, intent on getting a shower with water so swift and warm it would totally wash away the swirling thoughts and emotions. The house elves had even provided soap and shampoo, and Tara was a bit surprised to find that the scents were very near what she herself used. Tara toweled herself dry and wrapped the robe about herself again, knowing she probably looked like a child playing dress-up in Snape's robe. She finally emerged from the bathroom, her wavy hair a riot of brown curls she couldn't tame without her own potion supplies.

Jennifer_w · 09-15-2004, 05:43 AM

As soon as Guin entered the kitchen she saw the twins, Fred seemed to be helping and George...well he was coming towards her. "About what? I have nothing to say to either you or your brother." She whispered quietly away from the others.

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 06:05 AM

George put his hand at the small of her back and gently steered her, unwillingly, from the kitchen. "That's what I want to talk to you about," George replied once they were safely in the drawing room. "Look, I'm sorry you don't like me, but I understand that sometimes this is the way these things go. We got off on the wrong foot. But Fred... he's really a nice guy. I think you ought to give him another chance."

Biochemkris · 09-15-2004, 12:33 PM

Snape leaned upon the door for several minutes trying to rid himself of these foreign emotions. Rather than admit that he might have some genuine feelings for the woman, Snape blamed his shock that Tara willingly came to his bed for why he was suddenly feeling the need to go back to bed and simply wrap his arms around the woman, protecting her from the world's hurts. Shaking his head, he decided a cold shower might be best.

He pushed himself off the doorway, toward the shower, turned on the taps and stepped inside. He allowed the cool water to rush over himself and, as he stood allowing the water to cascade down from the top of his head, he used his years of experience to bleed himself of all his unwanted feelings and emotions. Snape was left feeling much more himself by the time he stepped out of the shower and was confident he wouldn't say anything he would regret later should Professor Sinistra still be in the room when he emerged.

He was never sure why he always kept a spare outfit in the closet in this bathroom as he never had any company but, it proved useful today. Unfortunately, he had forgotten his wand and was forced to dress slowly. Though, upon reflection, this wasn't such a bad thing as it gave his colleague extra time to get dressed or even to be gone from his rooms when he finally opened the door, which he promptly did.

Snape found the Professor just emerging from her own bathr... for his spare bathroom, wearing an oversized robe which could only be one of his own, and her hair a wild tangle of curls which framed her pretty face. He wanted more than anything, at this moment, to go over and put his hands through those curls, to slide that robe off her shoulders and look upon her once more... Snape grabbed onto the door frame as he lowered his head and shut his eyes. He had better control than this...

Sir_Spots · 09-15-2004, 01:50 PM

Neville was helping Elizabeth with the soup bowls and chatting about what he had seen back near the twin's shop when he heard George call out Guin's name. He had forgotten that she would probably be there too. He watched as George guided her out of the room to talk about something.

Cassirin · 09-15-2004, 07:14 PM

"Are you well?" Tara saw Snape turn from her and close his eyes, and she feared he was ill. "I'm sorry I'm still poking around. That's a lovely bathroom you have..." She struggled to make conversation with Snape, as he still refused to make eye contact with her. Tara steeled herself to it always being this difficult. She picked up her clothing from where it was scattered and moved back to the bathroom. "I'll be leaving shortly," her tone was clipped.

Biochemkris · 09-15-2004, 07:26 PM

Snape let out a breath he had not known he was holding when she shut the bathroom door behind her. He walked over to his chair and sat down, rubbing his face with his hands. He magicked himself some tea, slipped a few drops of potion into it and began to sip at it, slowly. That was much better. He relaxed and was able to think a little more clearly though, he sincerly hoped it was due to the potion and not the fact that Professor Sinistra was no longer in his immediate presence. This physical relationship only wasn't working out very well. Though he had never had this problem before, Snape was having trouble not growing attached to the witch.
