Ooooo ominous I know. But we all know there's a few characters in this RPG who'd like to wring each others necks. OK, perhaps that's an understatement; practically every character wants to kill, or at least hurt, someone, for something they've done to them or others.

Confused? You should be!

Here's a brief explanation of the main events (note I said BRIEF):

Marcella, the daughter of the infamous Voldemort, God-daughter to Albus Dumbledore was constantly shifted around. Her life was lived mainly in hiding from her father. She struck up an unlikely relationship with the formidable Professor Snape who was her guardian.

He had a daughter called Kristi, by a woman called Faith Potter. For plainly obvious reasons, Voldemort wanted her dead. Duty bound by her mothers death, Snape looked after her unwilling but debatably in the end, her learnt to love her. Voldemort made him kill his own daughter with his bare hands. Thereby, ridding himself of one of the Potters.

Kristi, who resented Marcella's relationship with her father, struck up an unlikely relationship with Nick Lestrange - the resident womaniser at Hogwarts - the lovechild of Bellatrix and Voldemort (yes I'm well aware of the irony.) He too died by the hands of Snape who never approved with their relationship. Nick was a shady character who gave Kristi to Voldemort but did attempt to save her, though it was a hopeless effort.

Snape was jailed twice for a murder he did not commit. (Irony, eh? Caught for murders he didn't do, unpunished by the law for murders he did commit). He appealed the first time and was released but went back in to Azkaban for the murder of Darrin. During the course of his imprisonment, Marcella discovered she was pregnant.

While he was away she, with Nick and Kristi, who were under the protection of the Order; Tonks, Sunny, Remus and Sirius. First at the house in Norway (which belonged to Snape) and then at Hogwarts.

Sunny turned out to be a DE and betrayed Marcella, leading her to her father. Tonks, who had become his lover, was torn when Sirius started firing accusations. Eventually Sunny was redeemed when he grudgingly returned to the Riddle House to rescue the captives of Voldemort. While there, Voldemort killed the baby, Maurice (an order member), Kristi and Nick.

Sirius also had an attachment to Faith Potter (although he seemed to become attracted to other people as well - well JK did say he was a ladies man!) and was thus distraught at Kristi's death and blames Snape. Marcella blames Snape for the death of the baby and hates the fact that he admitted that he never really wanted the child. Snape is bitter and twisted (what's new?) about the whole train of events.

The main theme of this RPG? The wounded lick their scars and become broody, bitter, melancholy and vengeful.

Will Snape become so embittered that he returns to the dark side, the light having given him no hope?

Will Marcella become so embittered that she crawls back to her father?

Will Sirius kill Snape with his bare paws?

Will Sunny and Tonks ever manage to be in a room alone and stayed clothed?

All will be answered, I suppose.

Characters

Marcella -- ME -- CoMC (To teach she'll be using her mothers name, Evans)
Snape -- Kris -- Potions
Dumbledore -- Kris
Voldemort -- ME
Sunny - Ty -- DADA?
Tonks - Fona -- Charms?
Sirius - Terry -- Transfig?

As Voldemort is still on the prowl, I feel he'd want Harry where he can keep an eye on him. The main characters have been out of school for a year and are now 20ish. (In their first year out of school they will have been 19). Ron is playing Quidditch for the Chudley Cannons. And Hermione's working in the Department for the Health & Welfare of House-Elves (a department in the ministry which she invented and runs with the help of, yeah you guessed it, house-elves). So, we need:

Harry (Quidditch) --

If anyone has any suggestions please put them forward. Please let me know which subject your character wants, or whether you want one at all. The RPG will be centered at Hogwarts.

In case you're wondering, McGonagall's retired and Hagrid's on a honeymoon with Madame Maxime.

Fona: Soz to butt in.. I still have Bella I take it? And if needed Pomfrey will be on hand

"Tonks... darling," Sunny said as he brushed back some of her hair, " You know you can't go. We'd be back here by morning, you feeling guilty, me being disappointed at the sight of those brats again. Let's go lay you down and let your Sunny boy whip you up something to eat. Yes?" Sunny rubbed his hands up and down her arms slowly, anticipating her answer.

fona · 08-01-2005, 01:22 AM

'Ok,' she smiled, dropping down to the ground. He was right of course, but it ddin't stop her being disappointed. She hissed in surprise, grabbing at the back of her head where it met her neck. 'Something just stung me.' She rubbed the spot, her irritation growing. 'It doesn't matter,' she shrugged it off, dropping her hand after a minute. 'So Sunny, what are you going to cook for me?'

Mad Eye Touz · 08-01-2005, 01:47 AM

Sunny raised an eyebrow. "What.. was that? That neck thing? What's... going on....Tonks?" Sunny had seen a lot of messed up things from his experiences with the Deatheaters. Given that Tonks had been around the Deatheaters not so long ago... and in the presence of Snape no less.. he was definitely concerned. "Tell me what you just felt." Sunny tilted her head back to look in her eyes, both his hands cupping her face.

fona · 08-01-2005, 01:52 AM

'Don't be silly,' Tonks laughed. 'Its nothing. Some bug probably stung me that's all. She reached up for his face smiling. 'Look, check for yourself. There must be a bite or something there.' She turned, holding up her hair so he could see her neck.

Mad Eye Touz · 08-01-2005, 02:15 AM

Sunny rubbed his thumb over her neck. Nothing was there.. not even a red splotch. "No.. there isn't anything there." His forehead creased in thought. "Tell me... what all you have been feeling, love." Sunny wrapped his arm back around her and started walking her towards their tower.

fona · 08-01-2005, 02:22 AM

Tonks' forehead creased, and she reached around to feel for herself. 'Oh well, its nothing really.' She shook her head. 'I've been dizzy sometimes is all.' She waved her hand. It was silly. She couldn't say anything was wrong. It wasn't. 'I do find myself doing odd things before I can stop myself.' She laughed, letting herself into the tower. 'It's stupid.' She rubbed her forehead, dropping onto the sofa.

Mad Eye Touz · 08-01-2005, 02:34 AM

"Like.. impulses. Impulses you can't control?" Sunny inquired. "You're the Auror, here. Don't you think that a tad on the suspicious side, doll?" Sunny laid a kiss on her creased forehead, and pointed her towards the couch to sit.

A tear dripped onto his hand and rolled down his fingers.

Sirius can't look at Harry. He knows he hurt the boy deeply by not contacting him the moment he returned here, but how can he explain why he couldn't? "Harry, it's hard to explain. Everything happened when you were just an infant. Your father had a baby sister named Faith. She used to tag along with your dad, Remus, and I when we were all students at Hogwarts. She had a daughter born around the same time as you were. I am her godfather too. Shortly before you and your parents were attacked by Voldemort, your aunt was also poisoned on his orders. It was an exotic poison brewed specially for her. There was no known antidote. On her death bed I promised her I would take her daughter and raise her as my own. To make a long story short, Peter betrayed your parent's location to Voldemort, and he killed them and attacked you. I was still morning the lose of Faith, so when your parents were killed by Voldemort too, I went over the edge. I hunted down Peter, and you know the rest. With no one else to take care of her, Kristie was turned over to that monster of a father, and even after I escaped from Azkaban, there was no way I could go to her and protect her. Then Dumbledore released me from the arch and told me that Kristie was in danger. Voldemort had discovered who she was and was planning to kill her.

You see, Dumbledore had already taught you how to fight and defeat Voldemort. Kristie didn't even know she was a threat to him. She had no idea how to protect herself. It's hard to understand, but I had no choice. Dumbledore reminded me of the promise I had made to your aunt, and how much I had loved her. I had to go and guard Marcella and Kristie. I had no other choice." Sirius buries his head in his hands. He knows he made the right decision at the time, but that didn't matter now.

fona · 08-01-2005, 03:36 AM

'No,' she sat down on the couch. 'It's like.' She blushed, looking away. 'The voice in my head that suggests things. Usually childish silly things that are bad ideas.' She looked down at her feet. Utterly embarassed now. 'It's nothing new,' she added quickly.

Mad Eye Touz · 08-01-2005, 04:16 AM

"Oh.. like a conscience? My conscience died several years ago. You cling tight to yours. It's what makes you so sweet." Sunny winked down at her, and went to the kitchen. "How about... sandwiches?" Sunny wasn't really in the mood to cook and his mind was elsewhere. He'd have to stop spending so much of his time lounging about in his new hideaway.. and more time watching over his Tonks'. Sunny waved his wand and let the sandwhiches make themselves as he thought it over. FInally, with the platter levitating in front of him, Sunny returned. "What.. does the voice tell you?" he asked with a mouthful.

fona · 08-01-2005, 04:19 AM

'Nothing much really.' She shrugged taking a sandwich. 'Earlier it was telling me to run off and get away from here. Must be because I don't want to be here.' Other times, just like something to say, or someplace to go.' She looked at him. 'Honestly it's nothing.' She took another sandwich. 'You had classes yet?'

Cassirin · 08-01-2005, 04:22 AM

Harry stared at Sirius, uncomprehending. "Wait a moment... that Kristi who was just in here? She's... she's my cousin? She went to school with me for several years, and no one thought to tell me that she was my cousin? That I wasn't alone in the world. For the love of Merlin, why is everything in my life on a need-to-know basis, and everyone assumes I don't need to know?" This wasn't Harry's fault, and he turned to look at Sirius. "I'm not saying I think it's okay that you ignored me for two years, but... I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to be friendly-like."

Mrs. Weasley · 08-01-2005, 04:33 AM

Sirius smiles at Harry. He thinks the boy may have mentioned something about a truce. "Under the circumstances, Snape and Dumbledore thought it best Kristie not know she was a Potter. Considering how you feel about Snivellus, we weren't sure you would welcome having a cousin that was his daughter. Your Aunt Faith and Snape had a clandestine affair which started our seventh year at Hogwarts. Faith was a funny sort of a person. Alot like your mother, she tried to see the good in everyone. Faith honestly believed she could change Snape turn him from the dark arts. She paid for her beliefs with her life, and Kristie almost did too." About that time Dobby comes in with a tray full of food. Sirius creates a large table and places it over Harry's bed. Harry could sit up and eat, and Sirius could sit in the chair at the end of the table. "Thank you, Dobby, everything looks great. Dobby says these are all your favorite foods. I hope you enjoy it." Sirius then takes out his wand and unlocks Madame Pomfrey's door. "You'd better take Poppy a plate too. I imagine she's worked up an appetite banging on that door."

Mad Eye Touz · 08-01-2005, 05:05 AM

"Tonks. I'm worried about you." Sunny sighed and draped his arm around her shoulders, propping a foot up on the coffee table. "But, I'll drop it and just watch you for a while." Sunny handed her another half of sandwhich before speaking again. "Me? Have class? Now I know you're not yourself. I helped Filch some earlier. Went and visited the owls. Walked around the lake. I'm a low life lazy loser." Sunny said it without any doubts or regrets, and laid his head over on hers.

"Ah, so it would seem I'm not the only one who should be forced to speak with Snape," she pointedly remarked, ignoring her father as much as she knew he was trying to ignore she and Marcella.

"I don't need forcing, thank you very much. We tried that and it didn't end very well. He very nearly ended up dead." Her tone was deathly serious although she knew he'd probably beg to differ though whether he'd speak up and say it was anyone's guess. "See, the shiner? Compliments of me. Proof enough that attempts at communication are futile." With that she began pushing her carrots around the plate with her fork, lifting it every so often, however making very little effort to eat anything.

Sorry, Sirius is cracking me up. *ignore*

Biochemkris · 08-01-2005, 11:19 AM

"Perhaps what she means to say is that you needn't have bothered with this little set up,"Snape spoke up in between bites. "What made you think that this conversation would go any better than ours?"

EmmaRiddle · 08-01-2005, 11:25 AM

This was getting her absolutely nowhere. She felt like they were now rounding on her. "Well, trying and failing is better than not trying at all." Inwardly she cringed; that was such a Gryffindor thing to say. "I know now I was merely fooling myself. Happy?" she sulked, her chin rested in her hand, she stared at her full plate of food.

Biochemkris · 08-01-2005, 11:32 AM

"Yes," they replied in unison. Kristi reached over and pat Marcella's hand. "We'll talk when we're ready to talk. But for now, I'm going to attempt to find myself a reason for living."

EmmaRiddle · 08-01-2005, 11:37 AM

"I did have good intentions, honest," she smirked hopelessly, taking Kristi's hand and giving it a squeeze. "Although I probably should've known better by now. I think it's the part of my mother in me. I just want everyone to be happy." She slowly drained the rest of her glass of wine and said, "Well, if you need help you know where to find me."

Biochemkris · 08-01-2005, 11:49 AM

"No, it was a good thing, we're just ungrateful. Sometimes I wonder if I have any of my mother in me. We're too much alike," she laughed, shortly as she pointed between herself and her father. "Thanks, Marcella."

EmmaRiddle · 08-01-2005, 11:59 AM

"Indeed." she remarked looking from one to the other. "Although your mother in you is apparent in your gratitude." She sighed heavily, it had been a long and exhausting day both physically and emotionally. "So when will you come up to the castle again?"

Biochemkris · 08-01-2005, 12:14 PM

"Now. She's not staying here," Snape said, finally joining in the conversation. "This isn't the place for young witches to be on their own."

"I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I've already been here overnight once, I think I can handle another night or two," she sneered before turning back to Marcella as if that was the end of the argument. "I'll come back up tomorrow, I guess. I'm not really sure what I'd do there so, unless you need me or something, I figured I'd just keep looking for work."

Snape stood up and grabbed Kristi's upper arm. "No, you are not staying here," he growled, eyeing the room.

EmmaRiddle · 08-01-2005, 12:20 PM

She was surprised at the sudden urge of paternal instincts, but shook her head. "She's not a child, Severus, she can make up her own mind. As much as I'd rather her be up at the castle, it's her decision. If anything happens she'll only be reeping what she's sown. If she needs us, she knows where to find us." She attempted to move between the two of them and tried to remove his hand from Kristi. As an afterthought, she added, "I'm sure I could find a use for you up at the castle; as could your father."

Biochemkris · 08-01-2005, 12:31 PM

"To be honest, Marcella, I don't really like it up there. I spent about 16 years of my life in that castle and it's time for me to move on. I don't want a use found for me, I want my own job," Kristi said, staring at Snape while she yanked her arm loose with Marcella's help.

She caught a slight glint her father's eyes as he drew his wand. "Don't you dare!" she yelled, grabbing her own just a fraction too late. The cords wrapped around her and she was grateful that's all it was because she could still curse up a storm at him. "If I hadn't been so protected all my life I might have been quicker on the draw and blocked that. Stop acting all insane and let me go," she yelled in between curses.

If she wouldn't come willingly, he would just have to take her by force. There was no way he was going to allow her to stay here. He had her bound before she could raise her wand to deflect it. "This is why you could not stay here and now everyone here knows that you are an easy target so you cannot stay here any longer," he said as he levitated her.
