••KA: RPotW•• ->You and Me Hai, I’m Lawraa, and this is an RP I came up with whilst listening to ‘You and Me’ by the Plain White T's. You and me, we like the same kind of music, That's why we, make a good you and me. We got style, baby we know how to use it, That's why we, make a good you and me. You know what I'm going to say, before my mouth even makes a sound, And that's why we make a good you and me. You and me, we couldn't stand being normal, That's why we, make a good you and me. We both laugh, at the most random situations, That's the key, baby don't you agree? 'You and Me' - Plain White T's It’s the summertime after their sixth year, and a group of friends who happen to live nearby each other are looking forward to spending everyday out in the sunshine, waiting until they can return to Hogwarts. They’re a bit of a mixed group, but they like it that way, and everyone knows that they are going to stay friends forever. At least, that’s what they all think. Although the groups a rather big one, there is only two couples amongst it, which surprises outsiders. It’s not that some of the other students don’t like each other, it’s that they aren’t brave enough to say, or scared it’ll ruin their friendship. Everyone has that best friend of the other gender, but although James' been with Annie for two years now, it’s obvious to everyone that Leigh has fallen head over heels in love with him. Obvious to everyone except James, who’s still only see’s her in a friend way, although they’ve been inseparable since first year. Shannon has been with Reece for a while too, but not for nearly as long as James and Annie. They seem close, but no one thinks it’s going to last; they’re complete opposites, Shannon, for want of a better word, is rather ‘Nerdy’ and Reece is an average ‘Jock’. He’s gorgeous, and he knows it. With the rest of the girls after him, will Shannon be able to hold on ‘till the end of Summer? That’s it really. A long summer, all about each friend finding ‘the One’. Will the two already cemented relationships stick it out, or will James fall for Leigh, and Reece dump Shannon? Will the rest of the group find love, or will they go back to Hogwarts as alone as they where when they left it? With the friends still be as close, or will they all fall out? It’s all up to us as RPer’s!

OK bio :xd: Name: Annie Parker Nicknames: Just Annie DOB: 16th June POB: New York Personality: Annie is usually a shy person, but when she's with people she knows well it's like she's a whole other person. She's very bookish, and is almost never seen without something to read. At Hogwarts, Annie is a straight A (or O?) student, and she loves all the lessons. Annie loves to learn, and is currently looking into jobs at the Ministry for when she graduates. She really wants to be an Auror, but wouldn't mind being a Hogwarts Proffessor either. She's going to be Head Girl when they all go back to Hogwarts, and was a Prefect last term, which she takes quite seriously, especially when younger children are involveed. History: Annie was born into a wealthy and influential muggle family. Her Auntie Angela is a witch, but she's the only other one in the family. When Annie was five, her family moved from New York to London, and then back again when she was eight. Now that Annie attends Hogwarts, she lives with her Auntie Angela in a large manor house in Kensington. |

Bio! Name: Andre Galen Garner House: Ravenclaw Age: 17 Appearance: http://www.snitchseeker.com/members/...e6813-nerd.jpg (Not as intimidating as he looks!) History: He was born in Nottingham, where his parents both worked at the time. His family are full of Hogwarts professors and he can't go to school without seeing one of them. When school is not in session he goes to visit his grandparents, in the neighborhood where some of his friends live. Personality: He is very smart and a nerd. He loves reading and is known for knowing a lot of pointless facts. He is shy at first but very friendly when you get to know him. He likes his friends but he always has this fear that he will lose them due to who he is. He cares for a lot of them and likes knowing that they are there. He has a hard time communicating with some of them because they don't seem to know what he's talking about. Is this good? |
That's great, thanks ^_^ |

Of course: here is the bio hope it is okay :) Name: Boone Carlyle Age: 16 House: Slytherin Year: 6 Blood Status: Pureblood DOB: December 8 History: Boone was born in Vatican City, Italy. He grew up with his father, (Henry), his mother (Lisa) and his two younger sisters (Candy and Dulce). His parents enrolled him at Hogwarts instead of a school in Italy. He had a very pampered childhood and is used to getting his own way. Personality: Boone is a very nice and calm person, which is why most people look at him as a weird Slytherin. He can be sarcastic, selfish, and mean at times which explains his house placement. He is a very big ladies man, and is a very big flirt. He is cares for his friends and is secretly in love with one of them. |
That's brilliant thanks, I'll add you too the list.^ Right, seeing as we're only waiting on two people's bios, I think we should start now! We'll start with them all meeting at the park, say? "No, I won' bloody help you! I'm going out!" The usual morning shouting match between James and his father was ended by a rather abrupt door slamming, and James stormed out of the house in a bit of a temper. Seriously, he couln't wait 'till the next summer, when he could move out. Move as far away from the bloody git as he could get. His foul mood wasn't even brightened by the sunshine, but he calmed down a little as he walked down the road to the park, at the prospect of spending the day, the whole summer!, with his friends. Swinging himself over the railings, he smiled softly as he saw Brooke over on the swings, twisting like she usually did. He stumbled over some branches and paused as he neared her. "Hey," he called out, waving a hand above his head. Twisting on the swing was so much more fun that actually swinging. Well, that's what Broke thought anyway. It made her go all dizzy, and stuffs, and she spun to a stop with a giggle. Deciding that to any outsider she must look like a right dim-wit, Brook went to spin one more when she heard a little call, and saw someone waying to her. "Oh hi James!" she called with a laugh, jumping from the swing and brushing down her shorts as she walked over to him. |
Annie spotted James and Brooke by the swings, and went over, She covered James' eyes with her hands, smiling 'Guess who!' she said, giggling. Aww, summer. She loved summer, it was her favourite time of the year. So peaceful. |
Boone ran a hand through his brown hair, as he spotted some of his friends by the swings he grinned as he walked over to them, "Hey you guys," he said happily. |
Summmmmer!!! Sunshiiiine! Happinesssss! Leigh was, well, happy. She was HERE. With here friends! There were only a few things that could make this moment better. But, she wouldn't think about those things right now, because she was HAPPY and she would stay that way. She yelled a quick goodbye to her grandparents as she walked out of the front door of their house. She straightened her blue tank top and patted her jean shorts as she walked down the road, humming a made up tune to herself. She was going to the park - she loved the park! It was so happy and swingy and grassy and - Her good mood was instantly broken when she saw who was at the park. Sure, she loved everyone there, they were all her friends. But Annie? All cutesy with James? Ugh. Way to stay happy, huh Leigh? She sighed as she walked up to everyone, carefully avoiding looking at James and Annie. "Hey, guys!" she greeted, putting on a fake smile. Tallan was being sneaky. He was grounded, and he was supposed to stay in his house. But there was no way that was going to happen when he could see his friends at the park right by his house. Nope, he'd find his way out. Besides, his parents were too preoccupied with his Wonder of a Sister to pay attention to him. Ten minutes and a few cuts and bruises later, Tal extracted himself from the bush he'd landed in after er, "climbing" out of his second-story bedroom window. He hurried to the park, a smirk on his face. Oh yeah, he was cool. "Hey," he greeted, flicking an eyebrow up at Brooke. Heh. He'd do the same to Annie, but she already had a guy. |
Shannon had her nose in a book. Again. This time it was the Twilight series, a famous muggle series about vampires. She was too busy laughing at how wrong they had depicted them. She was apparently not looking at where she was going. Reece had told her that he was going to meet up with some of his friends and that she was invited. Of course, she had often felt out of place but she tried to hide it. She glanced up. Oh. She was at the park already? She looked back down on the book. She was determined to finish that chapter. Till she tripped. Owwie. |
Feeling hands over his eyes, James grinned at the voice her recognised. "I'm not sure," he pretended to ponder, his mood slightly lightened by the presence of his girlfriend. "Annie, by any chance?" He laughed a sharp, small laugh and then removed her soft hands with his in order to turn around. Smiling down at her, he wrapped her into a bear hug and kissed her, before letting go to just hold her hand. Waving tha hand that was not clutching Annies at Boone, James smiled as he joined them. Thiis was the start of a great summer, he could feel it. "Hey Boone, how've you been?" Spotting Leigh coming towards him, his grin broadened at the sight ofhis best friend. For some reason, however, she seemed to be avoiding his gaze, and that did nothing to improve his iritable mood. Instead, he glanced away from her, a glare on his face. Seriously, what had he done? Brooke, being the ditzy twister-rather-that-swing-on-swings kinda girl grinner as everyone approached. She giggled as she crashed slightly into Boone, before giving him a hug and waltzing off to the approaching Leigh. After hugging her and Tallan seperately, she looked at her friends rather dismal expression. "Something up, Leigh?" was her concerned question, and she frowned. Something was definately up. Grinnign at Tallan, Brooke stumbled into him a little as he raised his eyebrow at her. "Hi Tallan. I'm dizzehhhh!" she laughed, before stopping and catching sight of the scratch on his cheek. "Uh, Tal, you aint been in a fight have you?" |
Annie laughed 'That would be correct' she said, smiling. She felt her heart flutter as he kissed her - she'd never gotten used to that. It still felt new to her, new and amazing and wonderful... and then she noticed Leigh. The girl was deliberately trying not to look at Annie and James, and she couldn't help but wonder why. She pushed the thought out of her mind, and gave Leigh a friendly smile 'Hi Leigh' she said 'How've you been? |
Quote:
"Hey James, I have been good," he said as he gretted everyone else, "how have you been." Boone could guess by the look on James face that he wasn't having the most fun summer, that he could. |
Leigh frowned slightly at nothing, mentally scolding herself for being so obviously upset. So what if Annie and James were being, uh, together? They were boyfriend and girlfriend. That's what they did. And that grin... Ugh. "Oh, I'm fine, Brooke." she said cheerfully, returning her friend's hug, hoping she believed her. Then, she couldn't help it. She looked over at James and Annie, deciding to be friendly, just as James kissed Annie. Perfect timing, huh? "Hey Annie! I've been good. Missing the ocean." she said finally, smiling at her. "Uh, hey, James." she added, forcing herself to keep his gaze. "Come on, doesn't your best friend get a hug? It's been ages since I've seen you!" That wasn't forward, was it? Tallan laughed as Brooke stumbled into him, and he gently grabbed her arms, pretending to help keep her upright and steady. Then, he continued to smirk as she started talking to him. "What have you been doing? Twisting yourself on the swings?" Then, he realized that that probably was what she'd been doing. Ha. She was so weird some times. When she noticed his battle wounds, he smiled kind of sheepishly. "No, no fights..." Not physically, at least. He had been getting in a lot of fights with his parents lately... "I kinda, uh, fell out of bedroom window. Into a bush. A very sharp, very unforgiving bush." He ran a hand across his face, hoping he wasn't bleeding. Blood didn't do his features any good. |
Andre walked to the park, hands in pocket, but not there. He seemed to be thinking about something else... He was mumbling to himself. "If the line 'I think therefore I am' is correct, then a rock can not be. But was is the rock not being? Is the line an explanation for having a soul?" This is when he hit a tree. He looked up and noticed it was an oak. "I must be at the park, oaks aren't native to this region." He moved his head and noticed his 'friends'. He still wasn't sure if they liked him but he had hung out with them before so he hoped they considered him one of them. He then saw Shannon who had been reading until she tripped. He hadn't seen her here before, but she had been in many of his classes. 'I wonder why she is here...' Andre seemed to forget to get up, he was still on the ground. |
"You sure?" Brooke aske Leigh skeptically, but let the matter drop. Her friends gaze had cleared up in the mere five seconds, and alhtough she could tell that something was still up, it was obvious her friend didn't want to talk about it, and who was Brooke to press her? If Leigh wanted to tell her someting, she would, in her own due time. Laughing, Broke put her hands on Tallan's shoulders, and although he had been 'pretending' to keep her steady, she was actually using him as a balance, to stop her from falling over onto her face. She needed to stop spinning, like, really needed too. "Nooo," she said, rolling her eyes away from Tallan's gaze. There was no need for him to know that she'd been that stupid, although he could probably guess. "And so what if I have? It's fun!" Brooke looked back at him with a giggle. "You fell out of your bedroom window?!" she yelped. How on earth had he managed that? It was scary, and that bus was mean. Yup, she decided then what it was; mean and silly. And something Brooke didn't like. "How did you manage to fall out of a window?" "I've been good Boone," James grinned at his friend, although the fact that Leigh had avoided his gaze was nagging at him. Stupid girly-ness; they were supposed to be best friends, right? Looking back as Leigh now searched out his gaze, James gave up trying to figure out what was wrong with her. He's ask her later, when they found a moment alone, and she'd tell him then. After all, they were best friends, which she happened to point out. "Hi Leigh," he managed, before sliding his hand out of his girlfriends. "'Course you get a hug," he muttered into her ear as he engulfed her with his arms. "Somethin' just told me you didn't want one, that's all." Breaking away from Leigh, James spotted Andre over her shoulder. "Oi, Andre mate. Gerrup!" he said, as he watched his friend just sit there on the grass, evidently in thought. Beckoning him over, he knew that the boy didn't feel he was truly part of their 'group' yet. but james wanted him to know that he felt he was. That was when he spotted Shannon; Reece's girlfriend. He didn't really know her that well, but beckoned her over all the same. Reece should be here any minute. |
Andre heard James voice somewhere and came back from his thought. He got up from the ground and looked at the tree he hit and noticed it was a bit blurry. Where were his glasses? When he found them he walked over to James and Leigh. He sighed a bit. "Hello, James. How are you today?" He smiled a bit. It was good that at least James seemed to like him. |
Shannon looked up. There were many voices around her. She shook her head to hopefully see clearer. Oh. Her glasses had fallen off. She reached around the ground for it and when she found them she pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and cleaned off the lenses before putting them on. She could see clearly now. She saw one of Reece's friends beckoning her over. She picked up her book from the ground and walked over. "Uhm... hi..." she said as she shifted her weight nervously. She never really talked to them before. |
When Jesse woke up he looked at his clock and swore. He woke up late again! Well, it was summer. You were spposed to wake up late in the summer, but still. He was supposed to meet his friends at the park, and he didn't want to be late. He got dressed, ran a comb through his hair, and hurriedly ate breakfast. He ran out of the house and to the park. He saw his friends and gave them a smile. "Hey guys," he said. |
Andre looked as Jesse as he joined the group. "Hello, Jesse how are you?" Andre then noticed that Shannon had joined in. He looked at her, never having noticed her much, and something happened. He pushed this feeling away and started speaking. "Well, hello. You must be Shannon. I believe you are in some of my classes. What brings you here?" |
"Helle Andre I'm good, and you?" He saw Shannon too. "Good morning Shannon," he said. He looked over by the road and saw another person join their group. "Good morning Izzy." Izzy looked at the clock. Time to go see her friends. She grabbed her hat and sunglasses and left her house. She didn't live very far away from the park, so she walked there. Or rather, skipped. She skipped cheerfully to the park. When she saw her friends she skipped over to them. "Good morning all," she sang. Oh, what a good morning it was, so pretty. |
Shannon fiddled with the hem of her shirt. "Hi... Andre," Shannon said. She was pretty sure that was his name. "Uhm... Reece invited me..." she said a bit quietly. She really didn't know why she was here, Reece or not, she didn't belong with this crowd. Really, this was just awkawrd. "Hi... Jesse," she said. So many names had been mentioned. But she didn't know half of them. |
Izzy saw another person. Oh, she didn't know her. Well, maybe. Where had she seen her before? Ah yes, Reese's girlfriend. "Hello," she said cheerfully. "Shannon right? I'm Isabelle, Izzy. How are you today?" It didn't matter that she didn't know her, she loved meeting new people. |
Boone nodded at James, as he leaned against one of the poles that held the swingset, "Hey Shannon, remember me," he said with a smile, he was one of the few people in their group, who actually knew Shannon, "How has your summer been." |
"I'm fine. You look like you just got up. You almost forgot we were meeting, didn't you?" Wow, he was doing a lot better than he had thought. He looked over at Shannon. Oh, Reece. He had heard about it, she's Reece's girlfriend. He seemed to have become a bit sad but tried to cover that. "Oh, yeah, Reece. Cool. Um..." His mind wandered on what to say. He looked down at her hands. Aha! A book. "What is that book you were reading?" |
Shannon look at the other girl. Isabelle. "It's nice to meet you, Isabelle, I'm doing fine," she said politely. She then turned to Boone. She smiled slightly. At least she knew him. "Hey Boone, it's nice to see you again," she replied, "my summer's been fine so far... studying and all," she admitted. She looked at Andre. Everyone referred to her as 'Reece's Girlfriend'. "Uhm, it's Twilight," she said, "by Stephanie Meyer," she added. She showed him the book. Books she could talk about, she liked books. |
"Twilight! Ha! I had a very good laugh when I read it. The muggle author seems to try to write very serious stuff yet for us it is very amusing. How are you enjoying it?" Books, this was where his talking never stopped. |
Shannon managed a bigger smile. "I agree, her view on vampires are completely off," she nodded. Miss Meyer really needed to see what a real vampire was like... if he or she didn't tear the author apart first. "The whole plot line is a bit cliched as well, in my opinion," she added. |
"Yes! The whole girl falling in love with this bad boy vampire is quite funny. Bella wouldn't last more than a few minutes with an uncontrolled vampire. More the whole love at first sight thing is..." Andre couldn't believe he didn't know the word he wanted to say. He thought harder. "Ridiculous." |
Shannon nodded again. "Exactly! And vampires do drink blood, they do not decide to go 'vegetarian' out of no where, and none of them have those ridiculous powers!" she exclaimed. No body fell in love at first sight anymore. Vampires did not have powers like looking into the future. And vampires really couldn't go out in the dark. So whatever she was thinking while writing the book was absolutely wrong. |
"You're right. Some of those powers are so dumb! Sparkling vampires! Really! Oh, and the whole 'Don't worry, we just eat deer but I do feel like having a quick bite... of you.' vibe that she puts into Edward is very weird. I'd like to see Ms. Meyer spend some time with real vampires and learn that they all don't sparkle and are not very good looking, or as good looking as Edward seems to be." Andre smiled, genuinely. "Do you read a lot of Muggle fiction?" |
Shannon giggled at what he said. Every single bit of it was true. "She stretches it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much," she said. Because everyone knew that vampires were blood thirsty and served no one but their clans and themselves. Most of them were actually quite selfish and they were almost exiled from the wizarding world because of how dangerous they were. Yes, the Vampire and Werewolf war had occurred, but not the way Miss Meyer depicted it. "Yes, I actually do read quite a bit of muggle fiction books, they interest me greatly," she admitted. |
"I myself do also enjoy reading muggle fiction. It is quite interesting how they depicted magic and wizards and witches. They are usually very silly." Andre smiled. "Have you ever read the Discworld series. Very entertaining." He loved taking about books but something was different. She seemed to be as equally interested in this conversation. Most other people would have stopped listening to him a few minutes ago. |
Shannon shook her head and frowned slightly. "I'm afraid I haven't, but is it any good? No spoilers of course," she said. Because she hated spoilers. It killed the experience of reading it and guessing what happened next. Books, books, what would she do without them? "Have you read the Lightning Thief series though?" she asked. |
"I have read some of the Lightning Thief series. I had to finish reading the History of Potion Making Volume 24 so I only got to the second one. I find the demigod idea very interesting yet a bit odd. How about you?" Andre suddenly noticed today was a sunny day at the park. "Oh, the Discworld series. It's quite long but it took me only a day to read them all. It is a satire of magic worlds and series. The first one The Colour of Magic is good and enjoyable for a laugh. Oh, if only muggle authors knew what they were writing about!" |
"I find the idea of demigods quite interesting as well, some of the information is actually accurate," Shannon said. At least they got some history right... for once. "It's good though, quite original," Shannon added. "I'll definitely remember to pick up the book sometime," Shannon said with a smile. History of Potion Making Volume 24? "Volume 24? I've finished it already!" Shannon exclaimed. And she thought she was the only one who read it as well. |
"Yes, the story is entertaining I thought." Then he heard about her having read volume 24 before. Andre was a bit shocked. "Oh, I read those about two years ago. My favorite was Volume 16. I liked the story about the contribution ancient werewolves had on potion making. I have that one memorized by heart! I thought the only other person that has read those in England was the potion professor." |
Shannon laughed. "I've read almost every book in the Hogwarts library," she admitted. Just a hundred or so left to go. "Oh yes, volume 16 was quite interesting, however I think my favorite was volume 7, the one on how the bloods of different creatures affected different potions," Shannon smiled. She wasn't going to say she had all the volumes memorized by heart. |
"You've read all of them too! Wow, that's quite amazing." Andre was having a weird feeling. His thoughts went to the true loves that all the books he had read had talked about. He shook his head to get this thought out of his mind. "Volume 7 was good, yet I believe the authors made a few mistakes on the effect unicorn blood had on some potions. I have tested them myself and mandrakes root and unicorn blood does not help make your Felix Felices quicker." |
So she wasn't the only one who tried that one out? "Well, it didn't work, however, I have tried using the blood of a dragon with the mandrake root and it did make the process speed up. You also need to make sure when using unicorn blood that your cauldron is simmering only and not too hot because it can kill the magical properties of unicorn blood otherwise," Shannon offered. There were various errors in each of the books, however they were going to make a second edition of them all, so Shannon could wait. |
"Well, of course the cauldron shouldn't be too hot. They explain that in Advanced Advanced Potions. Did you take that class? I took it when I was a second year. I've always been a bit advanced when it comes to school, but mostly potions." Andre thought about the dragon blood and mandrake root. He would try that when he got home. He already had about five small vials of Felix Felices but he wanted to see if the next one was faster. |

"I also took the NEWTs my second year. You must be in independent studies now, huh? I took all the classes Hogwarts offered to me by the middle of my third year." Andre was surprised. This girl who he knew little about was evenly (if not smarter) than him. Incredible. How could a guy like Reece date a girl like this? "History of Magic is very interesting but my best points are Magical Creatures, Potions, and higher lever DADA. I was never quite good at the easy stuff, but very impressing in the more advanced stuff." |
Shannon nodded. "I have private tutors now, I was actually lucky today because I somehow didn't have any lessons booked today," she admitted. And what a lovely day it was. "Magical Creatures are fascinating, spending time with the creatures actually help me with my potions, it helps me figure out certain recipes..." Shannon said. There she was, thinking it was near impossible to have an intelligent conversation with anyone but she was talking to someone just as smart. "So, are you aiming for the Head Boy title? I'm trying to be Head Girl," Shannon smiled. And valedictorian of course. |
"I do have some tutors but I mostly do independent studies which I seem to learn more than with a tutor. I usually clear up my schedule for the summer at least an hour a day to just calm down. I have seen you in Ravenclaw common room, so we are of the same house. I am aiming for Head Boy, yet my true goal is to be valedictorian. It seems as I have finally met my opponent face to face. It's nice to meet you." Andre smiled and extended his arm to shake her hand. "Well, I mostly enjoy the actual creatures when it comes to Magical Creatures. It is very interesting the written material there is about them from theories of evolution to why they are magical." |
Shannon took his outstreched hand and shook. "My rival... I assure you, I will not go easy on you," she said. Heh. That valedictorian spot was hers. "That's true, have you studied non-magical creatures though? Because some of them may have the same DNA as the magical creatures, I'm still researching on that," Shannon said. She had several pens and cages in the basement with creatures. Shannon wasn't hurting them, she was just taking DNA samples like their saliva. "I have figured out that some magical creatures may actually be the descendants of non-magical creatures... I think that at a point, we were all muggles, just that there was something in the environment that allowed some of them to have a change in their DNA coding and as a result, they were born with magic," Shannon said. She never really got to talk about this with anyone. "If this theory is true, then there are no such thing as purebloods and halfbloods." Shannon explained. Then the Great Wars had been fought for nothing. |
"Oh, and don't think that the valedictorian spot is yours. I have my ways. But, rivalry aside, I have done some minor studies on non-magical creatures. You, my friend, have looked at this magical evolution through the eye of science and potions but I have studied it with a mix of science and philosophy. It all starts with the complex question of why these animals are here. Then it goes to what would be a reason for an evolution stage as high as developing wings, horns, or other appendages. As for the whole muggle to wizard idea I have found that this change could be done by using more of your brain. A magical person, if compared to muggles, use more of their brain than muggles. This could have been due to some of them wishing to develop greater mentally or their need to make an evolution jump keep them safe from the magical creatures. If my studies are right, magical creatures came before magical humans. If you wish I have a copy of my soon to be printed study about this. Shannon, remember, you aren't the first person to think about these things." Andre gave her a big smile. "Philosophy is my strongest point, even though not taught at Hogwarts." |
Shannon was quite impressed. "Well, if you don't mind, I think I'd like to read it over," she said. However, she was still going to be valedictorian. "I'm not really into physiology, though I have taken a few muggle college level courses for it," Shanon admitted. She found it to be quite boring, honestly. "I find psychology much more interesting," she said. She then found a flaw in his statement. "Actually... if you think about it, it is actually quite impossible to just will yourself to be like that. If you refer to Lamarck's theory of use and disuse, which was proven false, it seems to be much like your idea," Shannon pointed out. Yes. She was now referring to muggle scientists, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that. |
"I will send you a copy by owl, but it's quite heavy so it will take a while to get it to you." He cringed when she said physiology. "I study philosophy. Psychology is very interesting and I do like it myself but philosophy, I feel, goes more in depth." He thought about what she had just said. "I do know of the theory you speak of but magical creatures, including magicians and witches are out of this boundary. They work with separate rules to that that rule the muggle world and science. I talk about that in my paper for around fifty pages. I do have actual expierements that show this difference of the use and disuse theory in magical creatures in a different paper. I will send that also." Andre looked at this girl in her eyes. He had never been able to do that before, even with his own mother. He smiled. |
She arched a brow. "Sounds quite interesting... however... do you have a muggle mailing address instead? An owl would look weird since I live in a muggle neighborhood," Shannon explained. "Magicians and witches, along with other magical creatures may seem to be excluded, but everything is linked somehow. If we were to trace the lineage back for a normal pureblood, the said pureblood would share a common ancestory with a muggle. The homosapiens, the **** erectus... and so forth. We do branch of muggles, so why were the Great Wars fought? They were a bit pointless, if you look at it now. If we're all related to muggles somehow, then what's the point of fighting for this lost cause?" Shannon added. She wanted to know about his opinion on the wars. The reason behind the war was quite flawed. |
"I do have a muggle address. You will have to give me yours so I can send it to you." Andre pulled out a pen and notebook out of his jacket pocket and handed it to her to write her address. "Well, the Great Wars were fought on a misconception of authority made by wizards who believed they were greater in magic than the rest when in reality they were and are equal. The wars were completely pointless and the point of fighting was because of a misunderstood fact. It is almost the same as what happened in Rwanda in 1994, you should look it up if you don't already know." Andre thought about the massive amount of information they both held together. Wow. Incredible. ooc: Well, gtg. It's been nice rping with you! |
Shannon took the pen and the notebook and scribbled out her address on it in her neat cursive. "I know of that, genocide... much like the holocaust as well..." Shannon murmured. And she had expected today to be completely hopeless. To just stay away from the crowd. Instead she was having a delightful conversation, an intelligent conversation instead of talking to Reece. It was the same as talking to a pole... or in simpler terms, hopeless. <<OoC: alrights. it was nice RP-ing with yu as well. byebye~ :]>> |
Quote:
She couldn't help but breathe a silent sigh of relief when James hugged her. She hugged him back, feeling slightly guilty at what he said. Really, she shouldn't be upset with him for having a girlfriend. She should just be his best best friend, and be happy with it. And really, being a best friend wasn't so bad, if you still got those hugs... "I always want one." she mumbled back, letting go as he pulled away. Feeling like she was getting back to being her normal, bubbly self, Leigh turned her attention to everyone else who'd joined the group during her small moment of moodiness. She saw Boone, Andre, Shannon, Jesse, Izzy... she gave them all a big smile and a cheerful wave before glancing back at James. Maybe...maybe she could get him alone for a second. She felt like she really needed to talk to him, just best friend to best friend. "You okay there?" Tallan laughed, tightening his grip a bit, and actually helping to keep Brooke standing. He shook his head in mock shame as she practically admitted to what she'd been doing. "Well, if it's so fun, then I'll just have to try it some time! See for myself." That's right; Mr. Cool could have fun. He was actually really good at it. He loved fun. He managed a short laugh at Brooke's concern. "I fell out of my bedroom window." he repeated, biting his lower lip. "It's an interesting story, really." K, that was a lie. But oh well. He'd tell it anyway. "See, I'm grounded. And I saw y'all over here, and I wanted to come over. BUT. I couldn't go out the front door, because then I'd have to walk past my parents." He paused for dramatic effect. "So, I had the brilliant idea to climb out my bedroom window. And I, well, fell. In a bush." So that was the heroic ending to his wonderful tale. He was such a stud. |
... and so, i had my post ALL typed.. and fell to sleep >_< Texas Tamworth was NOT impressed. How dare her evil cow of a sister go and STEAL her lipgloss? Did she not KNOW about the sharing rule in that household? Obviously bloody not. That was IT. Sally-Anne's Gucci bag was NO MORE. Nope. Not now, the family dog had had it. GOOD ON IT. Storming down the stairs of the house, Tex frowned as she found her twin sitting on the bottom of the stairs, head on his palms and just staring at the door. "Jackie? Go. Get out. Get lost. Go away. Any of them. To the park. NOW." Was he dumb? Obviously. The blonde sighed, and rolled her eyes at him, before pulling on her blue heels and flouncing out of the door without a second murmur to the boy on the stairs. What did she care? He would only follow her anyways. GR. GR. It would have been SO much better if she had been an only child. SO MUCH BETTER. Almost breaking into a run, in the direction of the park, Texas started humming a little tune to herself and frowned when she did get to her friends. "If you guys don't have anything planned, that's it. I'm going back to bed." Jack Tamworth sat on the stairs of their countryside house and he sighed as he placed his chin onto his palms. Why on earth was he waiting for Texas? It wasn't like she would let him walk with her to the park. SHE couldn't be seen with him. It did something to her reputation. Or you know ... whatever. She was such a cow. How were they related. "I was.. uh... waiting for you, Texxy. You're my twin, I... uh.. S-" But she had already gone out of the door, and slammed it shut by then, and he presumed she had broke into a run by now and was nearing the park already. Getting up himself, and picking up a jacket incase he or his sister got cold, Jack left the house, and was enveloped in sudden warmth, and he giggled. Such a girlish giggle, too. Jack's giggle. Taking a nice walk in the direction of the park, Jack started whistling to himself --the same tune Texas had hummed-- and continued until he ended walking up behind Texxy. |
"Well, all of that has been pointless fighting for thousands of years, if we both are correct. Much of the magic community will have a hard time living with this idea but I hope that it get's better through the years." Andre took the pen and notebook took a look at the address before putting it in his pocket. This conversation had gone great! He couldn't believe how interesting it had become because for a conversation this interesting he had to talk to very advanced wizards. |
Shannon nodded. "You do know, that when your work gets published, they'll all think of you as insane, right?" she said. Because she had proposed this idea to many wizards and they had all laughed at her. 'What does a little girl like you know, making up stories?' they had told her. But she was going to prove them wrong, she was going to show them, one day, that she was right. Even the smartest of them had scoffed and waved her away. It was completely ridiculous. |
"Of course they are going to call me insane but what do I care. The truth is all that matters, isn't it? I was wondering if you could write the study you've done and we could print it together. Even though some ideas clash it would be interesting to publish the work of two seventh years at Hogwarts and I believe it would be a good solid piece of evidence to the magical world about the true origins of magic." Andre rose an eyebrow, waiting for her answer. He would have to call his publisher but the change could be done fast enough. |
Shannon thought it over. On one hand... it would be nice to get published now and would look great on future resumes... but on the other... it gave her less time to study and all. "I think that would be nice, what deadlines do you have to meet? I'll get it in as soon as I can," she said as she took out her phone and started to tap away at the screen. Without it, she would not know what she was doing and when all her deadlines were. "It's alright if they call you insane you know... many of the most brilliant people were said to be completely insane..." she said as she glanced up from her phone. |
Andre thought about the deadline. "The final deadline for everything was going to be in a month but I could have a talk with my publisher to allow us some more time, anything from two to six months, if you need it." Andre glanced at Shannon's phone. He would have one but he knows all his usual calls phone numbers and he has his schedule memorized for the whole year but still has a written copy with him. "Insane is sometimes just another word for misunderstood." |
Shannon nodded. "A month is fine, should I send you my part in say... two weeks?" she offered as she tapped the date onto her phone. Let's see... if she cleared off her lessons and held them off for a while... then she could get her work done pretty quickly. "Insane is just sometimes another word for misunderstood, but in my dictionary, the insane are the brilliant," Shannon shrugged she then went back to her phone. Hmm... family vacation in a week though... Shannon supposed she'd have to skip that. |
"Well, perfect! I'll tell my editor about you and your work and once you get me your work I'll read it over and add it with my study. I suspect my editor will not be very happy but he might be pleased to know I'm not the only person with these thoughts. Two weeks, then?" Andre memorized the date and the event of Shannon giving him her part of the paper. "Well, those in asylums aren't very brilliant but I suspect they are more psychologically insane when we are more culturally insane." |
Shannon shrugged. One of the reasons she even studied psychology was because she hoped that one day she could help those people. They were misunderstood beings. "Of course, it might come earlier though," she said. Because well, she liked to be early. She finished up the final details on her phone and slid it back into the pockets of her jeans. |
"Whenever is fine." Andre smiled at Shannon and looked at his notebook for a second. "Everything is set up, I'll just call my editor when I get home and get you that copy of my part. Well.." He suddenly didn't have anything to say. He looked over at Shannon, hoping she would save the conversation. |
Shannon nodded and realized this conversation had pretty much died. She cleared her throat awkwardly and shifted her weight to one foot. "So... I haven't seen you around school much," she said. Because she really didn't see much of anyone. She was too busy reading and trying to get to the library. |
"Well, we both must be on pretty hard schedules. I do remember seeing you several times in the library." Andre thought about what to say and it came to him. Ask her a question she might never get. "Um, do you like riddles? I do and I've been pondering the one by Lewis Carroll: 'How is a raven like a writing desk?' I find it a very good riddle." Of course he knew the answer but it was a true test of her intelligence. He believed that she was brilliant but this was a very good way to evaluate how much. |
"Yeah... perhaps..." she mused. She thought about the riddle. Hmm... a tricky one. "Isn't that from Alice in Wonderland?" she asked with a smile. She had truly loved that book when she was younger. One of her favorites. "Well, the two are similar because the two produce few notes, and the notes are quite dull... in addition to that, the two have quills... and there are numerous answers, it all depends on how you interpret it of course," Shannon said with a smile. On of the most famed answers for it was that Poe had written on both. |
"And the true answer was that Lewis Carrol didn't want it to have in answer. There are many guesses, but a true answer will never be known. I believe it was in Alice in Wonderland, I don't remember. Your answers are quite interesting." Andre thought about the old copy of that book he had in his basement. "Do you have a question or riddle to try to boggle my mind? I wish to hear it." |
Shannon nodded. "Well... I'm not very good at giving riddles, I'm afraid, I just like answering them," she admitted. Riddles, riddles. All she was good at was answering them then forgetting it. All her riddles were just lame to the point she didn't even understand what she just said. Shannon checked the time on her watch. Why wasn't Reece here yet? She glanced around. He was probably on his way, he always made her wait anyways. |
Quote:
Smiling as Jesse and Izzy joined them, James looked around to see that Reece still wasn't here, and neither was Jack or Texas. Where were they, he wondered, but didn't ponder on it for too long. They'd be here soon enough. Quote:
Something was up with Leigh, James was sure, but he wasn't going to pry. "Okay, anytime," he laughed when she said she always wanted a hug. And really, she could always have one. They'd been best friends ever since he could remember, but for the past few weeks Leigh'd been acting funny. Maybe she was just being a girl, he decided. Quote:
"Yeah, but how?" she urged Tallan on impatiently. She knew that part, but she wanted to know if there was a good reason for it or not. Knowing Tallan, it'd be funny and interesting. If a little stupid. Rolling her eyes as he told him the story, she couldn't stop a giggle escaping her. "You're so stupid, ya'know that?" she muttered up at him. "But how'd you get grounded this time?" He was so silly sometimes, but funny as well. And she was glad he hadn't just sat up in his room all day; then he'd be bored, and she couldn't influence him to Twist on the swings. Hehe. Quote:
Then Jack appeared behind Texas, and caused Brooke to squeal again. Jumping up, she locked her arms around his neck and grinned up at him. "Hai Jacky!" she giggle. Turning away from Leigh, James nodded to Jack and Texas as they joined them. "Hey you two," he said. "No arguing today, please?" Because the twins were always squabbling, but today NO. Jamesy wouldn't let them. |
"Doesn't have to be a riddle, it can be anything." Andre was a bit worried when she looked at her watch. Reece wasn't here yet. He knew he was boring her. "Yeah, um... Have you read any of the History of DADA and Why We Need It series? I find the information of the first DADA classes taught to wizards and why they thought they needed it." |
Sorry, Shannon, didn't see ya! Text Cut: long quotes! Yup. That's right, any time. Best friend was like, one notch below girlfriend, right? In Leigh's mind, that's how she saw it. But enough dwelling on this. She needed a distraction. But what...? Aha! Newcomers. She shook her head slowly at Texas' attitude. That was exactly why Leigh didn't get along great with other girls. Because some of them had Texas' spoiled attitude. "No one's keeping you here." she muttered, looking past Texas to her brother. Jack was much easier to get along with. He wasn't so... Texas. "Hey JackJack!" she said happily, standing up on her tip-toes to look at him over his sister's shoulder. He looked a bit dejected, so she hurried over and gave him a big hug. "You okay?" She thought that he probably was... but ya know, ya never know. Tal glanced over at the swings, eyeing them. He hadn't even been on a swing the normal way since last summer. "Well, let's do it, then." he comfirmed, nodding and laughing quietly. He had to hold back more laughter when she called him stupid. He was; he'd admit it. It was sad but true. "I'm offended by that." he told her, raising an eyebrow. "And how do I always get grounded?" It was usually the same problem. "I got annoyed with my parents, 'back-talked,' and got grounded. Honestly, I wish I could do something exciting in order to be grounded." Getting in trouble for 'back-talking' was such a childish thing. Yay more people!! Tal flashed a smirk at Texas when she walked up. He was always amused by her. "Heyyy Tex!" He continued to smirk when she started being all 'if you aren't gonna do anything, I'm leaving.' He looked over at Brooke, thinking she'd tell her what was going on, and scoffed when she put it to Tallan. "Well. We, I mean, we," he motioned to himself and Brooke, "Are going to go twist on the swings, at some point in time. You're welcome to join us, if you'd like to." |

This had SO better have been a good thing they had planned, because Texas' sun lounger and bikini had uses aswell, and she needed a tan; considering they weren't going on holiday this summer. All because of her stupid twin brother and wanting to stay home. What a loser. "Oh... What iiiiiiiiiiiis it Tal?" Texas grinned over at him, before looking over at James and rolling her eyes. "We don't argue. We get along just dandy. Don't we Jackie?" Jack smiled awkwardly over at Brooke and the others, and gave a little jerk of his wrist, which could be taken as a wave; or whatever. "Hey..." He mumbled, almost furious with his twin sister for being such a horrible loser, she could go home for all he cared now. Siigh. But... there was Brooke, and she just made him smile a little bit more; when she hugged him probably a bit more, but like you know.. Jack and girls weren't good together, he went all red and blotchy, and started chewing at his lip. You couldn't help being scared of them. Awkwardly wrapping one arm around Brooke, Jack smiled a bit wider. "Hey, Brookles." He looked up from Brooke over at James and nodded. "Uh.. Yeah.. No arguing. Sure James... I... uh.. sorry." But from there, his sister had already answered over him, and he just nodded. "Sure Tex..." Quote:
Raising a hand, and wiggling her five fingers at Tallan, Texas grinned at him, again. "Heyyyy Tal!" Again, she wiggled her fingers at him, and then looked as he set to answer her first question, and Brooke's handover of the 'plan talk'. Oh. How... interesting. "Suuuuure! Swings are always good for me." Just as long as like.. you know, she didn't fall off. Jack chewed his lip a bit more as he let go of Brooke to allow Leigh to hug him, see Leigh was a girl he COULD get along with, because you know.. She seemed to have this thing against Texxy, and he admired people like that. He admired everyone really, all for different reasons. "Hey Leigh! You okay?" He asked quickly, hugging her back, watching his twin talking to Tallan and Brooke. She was so.... able to talk to people. And he wasn't, how ruddy fun. NOT. |
Quote:
She kinda chuckled when Jack asked her the same question she had asked him. "I will be." she answered quietly, giving Jack a look that said she was trying to be happy. In reply to Tex wiggling fingers at him, Tal waggled his eyebrows. Hey, what was wrong with a little flirting? Tal was such a flirt - it was like his trademark. It was WHO HE WAS. "Shall we invite the other?" he questioned, looking at the rest of their group. They all seemed to be in their own little conversations. |
Quote:
"Best not be talking about me, Jackie. The dog's already had Sally-Anne's Gucci bag, you don't want him to have your notebooks do you?" Obviously not, he adored those scraps of paper. If it was up to Texas, it would ALL be in the bin, but shredded first, then soaked, and used as pooper scoopers. Yep. Looking back at Tallan, Texas laughed, "Your caterpillars are having a bit of a party on your eyes, Tal. Not very attractive, ay?" Aww, he was such a flirt. PFFT. "Invite the others? ER.. I dunno..." |
Quote:
"You have no idea how long I've waited for Texas to come out and play." Leigh joked back, her voice just loud enough for Texas to hear it. She had a strange urge to stick her tongue out at the girl when she started being rude to Jack. He didn't deserve that. Just 'cause he was cute and didn't stick up for himself... "Maybe you should give the dog your shoes, too." she suggested lightly, speaking before she thought about it. It was a great show of Tallan's a bit over-inflated self esteem that he did not blush when Tex said he wasn't attractive. "Actually, very attractive." he corrected, smirking. Ha. He glanced back at the others, then returned his attention to Brooke and Tex. "Right. Um, just us then?" That was just fine with him. |
"It is very interesting how they could do it with their minds, which further helps with my theory, I believe." Andre watched Shannon as she looked at her watch once again. "I'm boring you, I'm sorry." Andre usually said what he felt, which sometimes was good and sometimes was bad. |
Quote:
Her eyes rolled, as she turned her head back to look at Tallan and Brooke and she laughed, properly this time. "Attractive? No, Tallan. That's me, darling. Unfortunately for you. But atleast you have nice hair, yeah?" Aww, wasn't his hair cute? "Just us then..." ... O_O "I... uh... gosh... uh... sorry Tex.. I uh... Don't tell mum, please?... I uh... sorry.. sorry... Tex.. didn't... didn't mean it." Wasn't he a doof? Now Texas was gonna hate him, and he was now officially the worst twin ever put on earth. Maaan. Tex probably wanted him to go and play in traffic. And he would do. Because she was his twin, and he loved her. |
