| | This is the official sequel to P&P. The majority of the 'old' characters know the storyline. I am afraid that no new characters are avaliable for this RP, so I am sorry but nobody new can join.
This wont be starting untill tommorow, but seeing as I had a title in my head, I sussed it would be best to open it now. Plus I would like everyone just to put up a brief character analysis and explain how their character/s have developed up to this point.
If anyone comes up with a better title, then tell me. I'd like everyone's thoughts on it, as i didn't really think about it much. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "Nothing's going on..." he said, speeding up; he had the inclination that she might decide to run ahead of him at any minute. So, gently, he took her hand, tugged on it lightly and pleaded, "Please, just believe me when I say there's nothing wrong that should concern you." He lowered his eyes, giving a puppy dog expression and added, "And it'd so break my heart if you refused to eat lunch with me." "You're just blind..." she said, dropping the rest of the photographs and watching some of them flitter in the wind. " I know I am." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape snatched one of the photographs from the air and held it close to Marcella's face. "Have you even looked at these?" he sneered. "Yes, there are three of us in this photograph, but did you happen to notice that half of it is missing?"
He pointed to the very edge of the photograph where, just barely noticeable, there was a shoulder. Every so often, a hand would emerge, grabbing a fistful of Snape's robes and pull on them. Snape didn't want to explain about the photograph but, he knew Marcella was failing to see the point. "This photograph was taken the day I found out I had a daughter," he explained, swallowing his pride and revelaing to Marcella a part of his past he had vowed never to share with another, as he gazed down at the year old infant in his arms. Kristi looked down at her hand and back up into Nick's eyes. He was hiding something, she was sure of it but, she could also see that she wasn't going to get anything about of him by standing her in the hallway arguing about it. "Alright," she said, allowing him to lead her toward the Great Hall, her books still in his arms. Perhaps she'd be able to weasel out some information during lunch.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "But, wait a minute. I don't understand. If the three of you are in the picture, then who is grabbing you?" she asked, her focus more on his eyes than the bit of paper placed in her front of her nose. Instead of moving, as she might have wished, he remained stood in her way, arms folded. He casually flicked his hand and said, "Well, if you're going to be that dismissive about it, maybe I wont want to go with you anymore. You know, I do have other girls who'd die to share even a minute in my company. |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "As I told you last year when you asked me what happened to Kristi's mother, her family would never allow me to marry her," he replied; she could draw her own conclusions as to whose hand it was.
Snape watched as another hand appeared on the arm of the hand which grasped his robes. The attacker relented and released the robes, allowing the would-be family to pose for the photograph. He narrowed his eyes and frowned at the photograph and their fake smiles. She almost ran right into him as he unexpectedly stepped in front of her and stopped. Kristi threw her hands up in exasperation at his remarks. "Fine, whatever, go find Pansy and eat lunch with her; take her to the ball for all I care, if what you want is someone to fawn all over you. Just give me back my books and I'll be on my way," she said, holding out her arms for her books.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine Shocked, she rested a hand, intended to be supportive, on his upper arm. She scowled at little and said, "Nevertheless, as much as they tried to separate you, you eventually came together and despite the fact that she's dead, she's still very much alive in Kristi and in your memories. I don't want to feel like I'm intruding on that." "That's my point, I want you because you don't fawn over me. You're not scared to shout at me, put me in my place." Taking her chin between his thumb and index finger, he added, "Plus you look ever so cute when you get all angry and worked up like that." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape looked up from the photgraph, to the hand upon his shoulder, and then, up to Marcella. "You aren't intruding," he insisted. "You can't intrude if you've been invited."
He turned away from her and began picking up the scattered photographs on his hands and knees. She scowled and then, sighed. "Okay, so does that mean that little drama just now was to see me get angry?" she asked, her eyes narrowed. "Nevermind, I'm hungry. Can we just go get something to eat now?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "But I can still feel that way. And whatever I feel, I cannot help." Crawling on her hands and knees, she helped him pick the photos up as they blew about in the light breeze. When all but one was picked up, she went to pick it up, just as he did and their hands touched over the photograph that captured the moment that looked to be when he and Kristi's mother had first kissed. "Maybe....maybe not. Maybe I don't want to give you the satisfication of answering." Happy that he'd clearly run circles around her and taken the subject from the possibility of there being anything wrong, he took her by the elbow, slipped his arm through hers and added, "Why yes, m'lady..." leading her along. |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape looked down at their touching hands. He picked up the last photograph and tucked it underneath the others before placing them on the table beside him. Turning back to Marcella, he looked down at her. "No, you can't help what you feel. So, does this mean you won't be accompanying me to the ball?" he asked, genuinely disappointed. Kristi shook her head and allowed herself to be lead along. She felt as though she should be saying something but, could come up with nothing to say. Her life had been nothing but drama for the last year or two that being in relatively normal company seemed so foreign. "So..." she started but, not knowing where she was going, she merely shook her head and concentrated on avoiding any other students walking the corridors.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "I don't know." she replied, in all honesty. "Who knows, by tonight you might decide you don't want me to go with you." "So....what?" he asked, taggling along beside her, studying her face. "Don't tell me you're getting all choked up over my romantic gesture. The Kristi I thought I knew didn't appear to be at all like that." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "What do you mean?" he asked, pushing a straying hair behind her ear. "What would make me change my mind?" Kristi stopped. "Choked up?" she asked. "I just don't know what to say. I guess I still can't figure out why you as...."
She looked up at Nick. "Marcella, she put you up to this, didn't she?"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine Annoyed, she responsed with a shrug and an indifferent, "I don't know everything, alright." "Not really." Seeing the frown on her face, he succumbed and said, "Okay, so she told me you didn't have a date to the ball, but that was it. She didn't tell me to take you out to lunch and she certainly didn't tell me to like you, alright?" |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic She was taken aback at that last bit. She looked to the ground, feeling rather foolish. Kristi shook her her head. "This is stupid," she said, looking up, realizing just who she was acting like right now. "Let's just go get something to eat and pretend this conversation never happened. The last thing I want to do is follow in my father's footsteps when it comes to relationships with people. All he and Marcella do is bicker."
She blushed and stopped for a moment, realizing she had just compared herself and Nick, who could barely be called friends to a couple who was much more than that. She sincerely hoped Nick hadn't taken that the wrong way or has having more meaning than she meant it to have. Kristi turned to walk toward the Great Hall, "Let's just go get lunch."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Snape wanted to put his arms around her... But would she even let him? Standing up, he held out a helping a hand to Marcella. "I would very much like to go to this ball with you and I don't think Kristi has a problem with that anymore," he said, thoughtfully. "I suppose I should have told her about us when we first arrived back at the castle last year but, at that time, you were... Well, you had joined your father and I thought that was the end of our little relationship... It would have been better if I had told her." His voice faded away as he spoke his thoughts aloud.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine He took her by the upper arm, rather forcefully and made her stay in front of him. Without letting go of her, he said, "Look, I'm sorry for shouting at you, I didn't mean it. I do genuinely like you and I guess it just frustrates me when you try to prove otherwise. And so what if your father and his woman argue all the time, we're not them. And I'm not him.." he whispered, leaning toward her slowly, hand raised now to her chin, almost lifting it up so that her lips touched his. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "But realistically, what would you have told her? That you'd fallen in love with a girl half your age, slept with her, formed an emotional attachment and then watched her walk into the arms of the dark side. That would've pushed her away further, it was better not to tell her. She would not have understood and that would not have been her fault. No-one could understand what we went through without being in our shoes. Don't feel guilty for that." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Kristi felt herself being jerked back and was held in front of Nick in a tight grip on her upper arm. Her heart was racing in fear after what happened the last time she was in this position with a man. But, it wasn't the same and he didn't strike her. He held her chin gently and leaned close, so close... She suddenly realized she was holding her breath and forced herself to start breathing again. "I'm sorry," she whispered back... He was so close.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Perhaps," he said, looking down at her. "But, she shouldn't have found out the way she did. You or I should have been the one to tell her; she shouldn't have found out from student gossip."
Snape sighed, put hand to his temple and walked over to his chair. But, instead of sitting, he merely stared into the empty fireplace. "She's fine with it now," he began to speak again, but seemed to lose the thread of his thought.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "Don't be..." he told her, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face and gently pushing his lips on hers, for a few seconds before releasing them, along with her arms. "Now do you believe me?" |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Despite how close he had gotten to her, his kiss came as a surprise to Kristi. It was brief but, it seemed to prove his intentions. "Yes, I believe you," she said, her stomach growling. She laughed, "I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted to get some lunch."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "So what's stopping you from being happy then?" she asked, knowing something was, stepping nearer to him and placing a delicately nervous hand on the small of his back. |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic He remained silent a moment longer before turning into her. "You," he said, placing a finger on her lips, knowing she would take this the wrong way without an explanation. "And myself. We won't let ourselves be happy. The only moments I have been truly happy since Kristi's mother are the moments I have been with you when we aren't bickering or moaning about our age difference, how our relationship affects others, or the potential for danger. I just want to be with you Marcella... be with you for just a little while before I have to give you up." "Not on purpose," she answered, honestly. "I sometimes forget to eat when I'm busy but, I could probably rival Crabbe or Goyle with my appetite right now."
She laughed, looked down at their hands and smiled. This was actually quite nice, walking hand-in-hand with someone down the corridor and having a what could pass as a normal conversation.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "I'm not stopping you from doing that....it's just..." she sighed and sat on the nearby chair, "It's just hard for me, trying to make sense of it all. Why this all happened, why Kristi has to be dragged through this mess, why everyone has to end up hurt over something that could've been prevented. I'm just trying to save a few hearts from getting bruised. Can you sincerely blame me for that?" "Well, that might not be good news. Those two are a pair of pigs, having to sit and eat next to them at lunch is a nightmare. I barely eat anything at all because their open-mouthed chewing makes my guts wretch." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Kristi looked thoughtful for a moment. "Hmm... Well, maybe not quite like those two. I'd like to think I'm a polite eater. Let's just say that I have a healthy appetite, so long as I'm not wrapped up in something else," she said, thinking of the numerous meals she had missed over the course of this term. "No, I can't blame you for that," he said, looking down at her in the chair. "However, I believe the hearts have already been bruised. There isn't anything we can do about it now."
Snape sat down in the chair across from her, not sure what else to say. He was tired of all this and, if it weren't for the dementors, he would have welcomed his stay in Azkaban.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine "I hate to admit it, but I have noticed over the term that you've started to wither away." Forcing a would-ve smile on his face, he took her by the arm and led her outside in silence. "You'll actually be surprised, as to what I'm about to say, but I think you're right. There's nothing left, there's no hope and I should stop moping around. As stubborn as I am, as often as I love being right, I'm not. I lived before we met, in dire circumstances yes and I wouldn't exactly call it living, but I did and therefore I can after. And it's not like I'm alone, there's Kristi too. Which reminds me, she doesn't seem sure what she wants to do after the year, what are your plans for us, I mean, what would you want?" |
