| The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival is here for the first time in Diagon Alley. Sponsored by all your favourite shops of Diagon Alley, the carnival is here for the summer! With magical rides and games, food stalls, knick-knacks and entertainment, this is a party for all ages that you won't want to miss. |

| | Carnival Stalls & Vendors Scattered on both sides of the main stage are the carnival's biggest money makers. The stalls and vendors. The lights, bells and whistles from each stall seem to mesh together, drowning out the sounds of the petting zoo nearby, but maybe not the smell? There's hoopla, coconut shy, weight guessing, pinball racing, and of course the infamous test your strength stalls, just to name a few, all with a magical twist. For those who'd prefer a moving picture as a keepsake to the mini stuffed animal they won as a consolation prize, there's faceless standees: humorous cardboard cutouts that come in pairs or groups of three in various sizes. The photographer stands ready to snap your silly photos and greedily accept your money.
For those who'd rather not waste their time with frivolous games, and just want the big prize, there are vendors just for selling merchandise, though they do cost a pretty sickle. While there are a few vendors selling various confectioneries intended to rot your teeth to the core, both magical and mundane, many are selling knickknacks. Some vendors sell questionable jewelry and pretty trinkets, along with glowworm sticks. Others have oversized and miniature wizard hats, sunglasses intermixed with the large stuffed animals and magical balloons. And then there are those that sell magical firecrackers that the carnies suggest waiting to set off until you get home. They may have been rumored to have sent wizards to Mungo's for minor burns, but what do the carnies care? It's not as if they're liable for any of you lot.
The carnies aren't the only ones attempting to sell items. A few of the vendors belong to your local shopkeepers attempting to sell items such as sparkler wands and glow in the dark wand holsters.
Wander around with your friends, and have fun! Just don't get a bad case of sticky fingers. OOC: Feel free to interact with the Carnival Stalls & Vendors wandering Carnie, Slick Gibbins (Anna Banana), chat, play and win a prize!
Remember that Snitchseeker site rules and the Diagon Alley Rules apply at all times. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Diagon Alley Questions thread. |

Not knowing where to go first, she decided to look bat some of the stalls set up in the street. Freya saw the hustle bustle at the South Street Diagon Alley and she was really curious on what's going on. Then when she saw a lot of colorful tent it hit her. The Carnival! How come she forgot about it. She read it in Daily Prophet that there's a Carnival coming to Diagon Alley so this is what they're talking about.
The last time the blonde came to carnival was a long time ago when she's a little girl so Freya didn't remember much about it but she was pretty sure this carnival was a lot better than the last carnival she was into. She decided to check the stalls and vendors first maybe she could find some good stuffs. When she was looking around the stalls for something good, her eyes caught someone familiar. "Emma!!" she shouted and made her ways toward her Hufflepuff friend. "Where have you been? I missed you." she said before encasing Emma in a hug.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Liam Coleman Seventh Year | Irish eyes || Nanny McPhee This area looked rather interesting and also appeared to be quite popular with the people attending the carnival. It was bright, loud and perfect for getting lost in the crowd.
Damien probably wouldn't play too many of the games, but it fun was to watch others try and win those big prizes. He wondered if Isobel would appreciate someone winning her a prize. Probably more so from her boyfriend -- The thought left a bad taste in his mouth just thinking about it.
Clearly he needed something to take his mind of the whole situation.
And this place seemed perfect. |

Amy LOVED the fair. Any fair. They were cool, and you could scream and laugh and no one stared at you lke you were an idiot. Which was a relief, because most people did think she was an idiot...well, she was an idiot, but still. She desperatley wanted to go on the coaster, but Sammy was a wimp, her mum was pregnant and her dad was downright refusing to go on it. Moping, she headed to the stalls. She needed a willing...victim participant
And there he was DAAAMIIIIEEEENNNNAmy squealed, spotting the familiar person who was constantly reminding her about not falling out of trees. Though as she had said, it was only once and she'd meant to do it..

Witsy gave a curtsy as William complimented her. "My mum, made it for me. It's my favorite dress."
Inside the box was filled with a clear liquid. Turn it upside down, shake it, or trying to scoop it out by hand the water won't escape or disappear. The person holing it will see changes in the water (like color or even sometimes shapes or figures) only that person holding it can see. It's meant as a guide to whatever's on your mind. If you chose to have other people see what's in it with you they merely put their hands with you. Some of the water can evaporate depending on anger, the water lost doesn't get replaced but that once the box is completely empty, the entirety of it shifts to something different. "It's a little trinket, my mum used to carry, said it was helpful in good times." " Well, I can't wait to meet the lady that gave you your great looks" Willaim told Witsy. "wow, she gave it to you to give it to me?" Willaim asked Witsy. " I have to thank yoru mom for so much, like this trinket, but especailly for you and of course your father too for having a very sweet daughter" William explained to Witsy.
" Ok, shake it, turn it upside down or try to scoop the eater out and the water will not escape , but the person that has it will see changes of colors or shapes or figures, right?" Wiliam asked Witsy. William shook it and he saw a light blue color. " I am calm now "William smiled. Here try it with me, ok?" William asked Witsy. " O promise to keep this trinket almost compltetly filled" Willaim beamed at Witsy. He hugged her tight.

Nessie looked up hearing somone, which seemed to be talking to her. Was it that obvious she wasn't feeling to good. This girl was friendly, she would probably end up being a Hufflepuff when she was sorted. Nessie didn't think she herself deserved to be one. She had not been herself at all lately. She put on a smile for the girl. "Yeah everything is fine." it was a half lie, half true statement. She was feeling fine, but not everything that was going right now wasn't excatly good. "Im good, don't worry no help needed." she nodded at the girl to reasure her.
Just as she was about to introduce herself, the other girl had managed to first. Raven..hmm pretty name she thought. She noticed the girl did look a little short. She was probably around eleven. Nessie herself was twelve, but she was a little tall for her age. She smiled as her guess of Raven's age was confirmed, Raben had said she was going to be a first year. "Nice to meet you Raven." Nessie answered back. "Im Renesmee Talya Dixon, but you can call me Ness or Nessie for short." she then continued. "Im in fir..second year." she cahnged midway almost forgetting she wouldn't be a first year anymore. Quote:

"I'm Renesmee, but you can call me Ness or Nessie." she didn't feel like repeating her whole full name again. "So you're both first years right?" she asked. She was trying to help her sister make friends for next year. Her and her sister were both quite friendly, but it always nice to have a little head start. So all Nessie would have to do is introduce Juliet to Anna and Raven, instead of Juliet having to go and find friends. She looke at the two, deciding to continue.

Anna said happily. "When can we meet her? Does she look like you?" Anna asked Nessie. Nessie watched as Anna stood next to Raven. They must have been best friends, just like her and Zara used to be. She missed Zara, she just wished Zara could have told her she was leaving Hogwarts. She remembered thats she still had to wirte to her when she got a chance. She really wanted Zara to be here with her, she sort of needed her best friend right now. She would tell Zara about the whole story in her letter.
She nodded her head answering Anna's question. This was working out great. They had already asked when they could meet her. "Um.. I'm not sure yet, but I'll make sure we organise something." She couldn't wait to tell her sister. She would be over the moon, when she heard about it. " No, we don't really look much alike, I look more like my dad and she looks more like mom." Most people could barely tell the two were sisters. They looked more like cousins.

One would think that being around all the people, background noise and carnival sounds, it would be hard to pick out any one individual voice. Then again, when that voice belonged to Amy, everyone within a ten mile radius knew your name. Whether you wanted to be seen or not.
Still, it made him laugh. No one had ever been that excited to see him except for Isobel --
No. Wait. No. He was here to try and get his mind of her.
"Heya, Amy," he said, Irish accent flowing through. "Take it you're erm ... rather excited about the carnival coming around town, huh?"
That was an understatement. |

That was an understatement. Heeeeey she grinned at Damian giving him a big hug, cuz she hadn't seen him on the last day and thus couldn't give him a hug, which sucked seeing as she'd hugged almost everyone she even vaugley knew that day. For some it had been quite sad because they were leaving, but most were insanely excited to be going home. Amy had been moping..until she realised that a carnival was rolling into town, and then she'd practicly apparated home. Except she hadn't. She'd taken the train like everyone else. Are you mad, I'm insanely excited she said, grinning and bouncing on the spot, she took him in again. But you don't look quite so excited...she trailed off, utterly confused. How could you not be excited about rides and candyfloss?

Then my mum and dad met there first year but they didnt date until their fifth." Anna told Nessie. "I do can't wait to meet Juliet though, is she also purchasing her school supplies this week?" Anna asked.

"Freya!" she said as she turned around to see the girl rushing to her. " I've been around, but It has been forever since I've seen you." As she hugged her friend she said. "I'm doing good, how about you?" she asked the girl. "Hows being the quiddich cup champion feel?"

'That's Witsy. That's the one he dumped for me.' Rose said bluntly. 'I'm surprised she took him back, he left her for me, then tried to go out with someone else, then went out with a different person, then told another girl he liked her, then, when all options were out, he went back to her.' Rose laughed. ' Yes, he did. Why do I have to be so tiny?' Ari laughed, although besides being amused she was also rather upset, since everyone seemed to have grown considerably over the summer except for her. She hoped no one would take her for a first year!
Ari's head started spinning after she had asked about Witsy. She noticed Mordred's confused look and chuckled, realizing she was almost as confused as him. Which meant she really needed to spend more time amongst girls. ' So...let me see if I get this. He dated Witsy, broke up with her and dated you afterwards. After you two broke up, he dated three more girls before returning to the same Witsy?' she asked for clarification. Ariadne wondered when William had the time to go to classes and do homework with so much dating. Quote:
Originally Posted by Zebragirl Emily laughed. "I dunno. Just as long as their not getting taller. I hate when people think I'm younger than I actually am." She was 13 for merlins sake! And just the other day someone asked if she was a first year. She hated being so small.
Emily squealed and almost jumped up in glee. "No way! You mam owns a bookshop?!" She was so excited she had met a fellow book lover like Ari. "If I knew someone who owned a book shop I don't think I'd ever leave!" she laughed. She wasn't kidding though. "Read many muggle books? I did before, of course, I got my letter." That really may her sound like a muggle born, but she didn't care. Wuthering Heights was one of her favourite books - She was even named after it!
She continued to roll the glow stick beween her hands as she smirked at Ari's reaction. "Thanks. I haven't really given it much thought to be honest, I just know they're my favourite magical creature... hey, if you ever need the heartstring for you wands..." She laughed again at the thought. How did they do that anyway? Another thing Ari could relate to! 'I know what you mean! I'm so annoyed that all of my friends seem to have grown a lot during the summer, but I'm basically the same size as I was last year. I'm dreading that people will assume I'm a first year.' she sighed. 'But at least compared to me, you do look 13, if that makes you feel better.' It was intended as a compliment, though it came out weird. 'It's not big or anything, it's just a regular village bookshop, except for the fact that it only sells magical books. I didn't really have the chance to read Muggle books.' Ariadne admitted. 'Last year in Muggle Studies when we were discussing Muggle fairytales I felt lost.' Which was a bitter feeling for someone like Ariadne, who wanted to be good at everything.
Ari laughed heartily at Emily's joke. ' Then I'll know who to come to.' she finished the sentence. ' Do you know what kind of training it takes to work with dragons?' the girl wondered, pretty sure that a mere Hogwarts graduate was not ready for that without supplementary training. Quote:
Originally Posted by Zephyr Mordred smiled at her. "I'm not into socializing really, but it can get very boring." And lonely. He thought. "Who knew hugs can be great. Weird at first but it's calming." he said blushing a little. "I-I'm sorry I'm blabbing. It's just that, it's...well, new to me." he said looking away. "Of course, your head of house! I plan on visiting the library as soon as Hogwarts is open." Mordred then kept the manuscript. "I made a promise to Julian that I will return it to him if I fail on finding information about it." he said. "Oh, Julian is my cousin from Durmstrang. I'm not sure if I mentioned him to you already."
Mordred smirked and turned to see where the blond boy went. "Well, he was a coward. He thought I wasn't going to tell it to his face." Mordred grinned. "I was expecting more from him, since he was the one who confronted me." he said shaking his head. "What a prat." he thought. "By the way, Rose and I will get something to eat. You have to come along with us." Mordred smiled. "I don't know anything about muggle junk food." he said as he eyed the food stalls. Well, he's up for the challenge. He's one growing boy after all. "I don't know what's happening to me. I'm always hungry!" he confessed. ' Before Hogwarts I had my mum around and my neighbours, but when I started school I realized I needed to be more sociable because I knew no one and it was indeed boring.' Ari admitted, aware that Mordred and herself had more in common than she had thought initially. When the boy mentioned the qualities of a hug and then looked away, Ari thought he was really cute, but refrained herself from saying that out loud.
Back to talking about Madam Donovan, a safe and neutral topic of conversation. ' She was acting weird at the end of the year, but I trust she's back to normal now. I'm sure she'll be able to help.Then you can pride yourself in solving the mystery before your cousin. You've mentioned your cousins before, but not by name, I think. How are they?'Aaand, how's Chloe?' Ariadne asked, remembering what Mordred needed from the stationery shop the day they've met.
' A Gryffindor coward.' Ari replied bitterly. ' Why does he have to be in our House?' she complained. But if she considered all circumstances, the boy had earned a lot of points for Gryffindor, which was possibly why Ari disliked him even more, as he had more points than herself. But Gryffindor didn't get the Cup, so what did it matter,anyway? Right?
Ari appreciated the invitation, but asked cautiously: 'Are you sure you want me to tag along? I don't want to be a bother.' Mordred and Rose have set that plan before seeing her at the carnival, so it was polite to ask first.

Then told another girl he liked her, but she turned him down, then went back to Witsy. Yeah, very confusing, I know!' Rose laughed
Rose shrugged. 'D'you wanna come? If so, you're not a bother! If you can stick my lifellong dream of linking arms and pretending we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz! It's a Muggle movie...' Rose laughed

Amy had been moping..until she realised that a carnival was rolling into town, and then she'd practicly apparated home. Except she hadn't. She'd taken the train like everyone else. Are you mad, I'm insanely excited she said, grinning and bouncing on the spot, she took him in again. But you don't look quite so excited...she trailed off, utterly confused. How could you not be excited about rides and candyfloss? Ooof
Well that was unexpected. The only other person he's ever hugged was Isobel. So when Amy literally jumped on him, he was slightly taken aback, but smiled nonetheless.
And of course she was excited. Damien percieved Amy to be an over-the-top girl, yet in a good way. Happy and excited. Which made her a good person. Damien shrugged his shoulders before rubbing the back of his neck. "Don't get me wrong, it is rather exciting. There's so much to see and a lot to experience. Opportunities to meet up with old friends and possibly make new ones --"
It was true, though. He wasn't, as Amy put it, 'quite excited' about the carnival. "I guess I've got a few things on my mind. My hopes were that the carnival would be able to get rid of those things." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Pepe stepped into the carnival area with Less on his arm. It was almost like being a teenager again and he found himself nearly laughing out loud with the hilarity of it. "Well, here we are. Now where's the food?" he said, this time actually laughing as his stomach growled.

She said looking around... she was hungry as well, but curious on what a real carnival looked like... where were the people in costumes? Were were the masks? This was nothing like it was in Venice...

"It feels great especially after we beat you guys." she joked.

Wait, my mum taught me something!' Rose grinned. She took the hairclips out of her hair, rolled the cloak up and clipped it up. 'There! No tripping on you lovely cloak now!' Rose giggled.
'Oh, I know...' Rose said darkly thinking about William. HE thought he was perfect... Vain, is what Rose called it.
'Muggleborn, remember?' Rose asked with a 'duh!' expression on her face. 'Aw, your face then! Priceless! Well, there you go, Slytherins and Gryffindors are pretty much the sort of same thingy then, aren't they?' Rose smiled.
'I don't know, we were talking to William...' Rose grinned back at him.
'Yup, 'muggle' junkfood galore!' Rose said putting emphasize on muggle. 'Well, I'm going to have to insist on linking arms then! I'll feel like going on the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz, which I've always wanted to do!...' Hey! She could be Dorothy! Rose giggled. 'You coming Ari?' Rose grinned offering an arm out to her. Yes. Rose was a weirdo and proud!
Then Rose laughed as Mordred got confused about them talking. 'Basically, he's a player...' Rose laughed Then she did an impersonation of a snake. " You're better off as a Gryffindor." Mordred joked. He then watched as Rose clipped the hem of his cloak. Clever, but hopefully she won't forget to remove it. His mum would be surprised, no doubt. "Yes, muggle junkfood FEST." he emphasized as he tapped his pocket full of coins. "Wizard of who? Or is it a 'what'?" he asked in a confused tone. "Link arms? Yellow brick road?" he thought as he looked at the pavement of the carnival. He was sure there was no yellow road. "Er...I think I'll skip that part." he said. "Yeah, she could be Dorothy...whoever she is." he continued as he looked at Ari. He was pretty sure she knows Oz and Dorothy. Quote:
Originally Posted by Lady of the Lake '[B] Before Hogwarts I had my mum around and my neighbours, but when I started school I realized I needed to be more sociable because I knew no one and it was indeed boring.' Ari admitted, aware that Mordred and herself had more in common than she had thought initially. When the boy mentioned the qualities of a hug and then looked away, Ari thought he was really cute, but refrained herself from saying that out loud.
Back to talking about Madam Donovan, a safe and neutral topic of conversation. 'She was acting weird at the end of the year, but I trust she's back to normal now. I'm sure she'll be able to help.Then you can pride yourself in solving the mystery before your cousin. You've mentioned your cousins before, but not by name, I think. How are they?'Aaand, how's Chloe?' Ariadne asked, remembering what Mordred needed from the stationery shop the day they've met.
'A Gryffindor coward.' Ari replied bitterly. 'Why does he have to be in our House?' she complained. But if she considered all circumstances, the boy had earned a lot of points for Gryffindor, which was possibly why Ari disliked him even more, as he had more points than herself. But Gryffindor didn't get the Cup, so what did it matter,anyway? Right?
Ari appreciated the invitation, but asked cautiously: 'Are you sure you want me to tag along? I don't want to be a bother.' Mordred and Rose have set that plan before seeing her at the carnival, so it was polite to ask first. Mordred nodded in agreement. "Yes, and if you have someone to share your thoughts...or just to have fun, I know it's best to share it with a friend." he smiled. "Miss Donovan will be of great help, I'm sure. I'm just psyched to find out what it means. It must be a code. Or even instructions in brewing a potion." he said shrugging. "My cousins? They are here in London, preparing for their next term." he said as his face fell. He wanted to attend the same school as his cousins, but it's impossible now since he will be starting his second year in Hogwarts in a few days.
Then she mentioned Chloe.
He looked at his shoes as he tried his best to tell Ari how Chloe is doing. Sad thing is, he doesn't know. "I...well, sent her letters overseas, but I never got a reply." he said in a soft tone. "I kept thinking that Xchylar gets intercepted everytime..." he said as he trailed off, remembering his owl. "Weird thing is, Xchylar did not seem tired, or hungry after a long flight. It could mean that Chloe gets my owl, feeds him, then let him fly back to me." he continued. "Sadly, there's no letter attached to his leg upon his return...up until now." he said as he looked away, blushing once more. "I guess...I'm already forgotten." he said and looked at Ari with a sad smile.
He sighed, and said "I don' want him in our house either." he smirked. Mordred was just thankful the boy wasn't sorted in Slytherin. He really can't stand such rude people. "We're hungry, and I'm sure you are too." he said as he brushed away the thought of his ex-best friend. "Besides, I don't know much about muggle junkfood. I'm sure you'll be of a great help in introducing those to me." he said as he smiled. "Oh and..." he said as he leaned closer to Ari. "Who is Oz? Er..and Dorothy? Yellow brick road? I don't know what Rose is talking about anymore." he said in a whisper.

'Muggle movie, and too bad!' Rose laughed as she linked his arm and spun walked in a circle, him forceably following due to the fact she wasn't letting go. As they were walking in circles Rose carried on. 'No! I'm Dorothy!' Rose moaned. 'That means I get a dog called TOTO!' Rose grinned, starting to get dizzy.

Amy continued to bounce a little on the spot, she was insanely excited, but not just because she had found someone, but that that someone was not so happy and she would make it her mission to cheer him up. Yep. And how do you cheer em up? Asides from huuuuge hugs? Getting em on rides, and watch them scream. And laugh as well. Awww, but see thats why you should go to the carnival, because it's good fun, Amy nodded, and look, she pointed to the stalls, you can get candy floss and glow sticks, all in the same place, she nodded before looking back to him with her mega watt grin. And we've always got the coaster? She suggested, looking at him closely.
She WANTED to go on that ride. Really wanted to.

Isabelle was amazed by this carnival. It was huge and amazing. Though it did not compare at all to the carnival Madame Felsher, her neighbor, organized every year in Ffrance. Isabelle and her friends went every year. Eveb this year before Isabelle came back to England.
Isabelle peered at all of the different vendors and all of their interesting stuff. She stopped to look at some fun sunglasses. They would be perfect for the time she spent at the carnival.

Anna told Nessie. "I do can't wait to meet Juliet though, is she also purchasing her school supplies this week?" Anna asked. Nessie nodded. Her parents were both sort of magical. "My dads half-blood and my moms a muggleborn." she said then listening to Anna's story, Pretty similar to her own parents. She smiled at Anna it seemed like the two first years, were very excited to be starting at Hogwarts. She didn't blame them Hogwarts was Amazing. Thats what she thought.
She grinned again. "Yeah she is, she'd be happy to make friends." Nessie continued. She looked at her watch, it was startig to get a little late and her parents were probably expecting her soon. "Well I gotta get going, it was nice meeting you two." she said before she turned around and started walking back to where her parents were. She was happy for Juliet would now have some friends.

| Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Copernicus Kettleburn had to carefully consider how to get his family to Diagon Alley. Cela didn't like apparating, especially not now, and neither of them were particularly up for flying.

Leaving the house was such a chore sometimes. Sigh.

Cela, by contrast, didn't mind the floo, especially as it gave the opportunity to pat down and fuss over Cope afterwards, with the excuse of dusting off the floo powder smudges.
Not that she needed an excuse, but she liked to have one.
She brushed at his cheek and smiled.
"Do you think they have potato?" Because the strange food cravings had well and truly started, and Cela's cravings had turned out to be for the plainest, most simple things.
