The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling CarnivalThe 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.
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!

Hard to clean when you were already dirty.
"Potato, is it? Maybe I should try one of those games and win you a prize."
Noting the smudge, Cela used her wand instead to straighten them both out and then gave him a triumphant sort of look.
"None of that. Just plain. Baked maybe."
Ohhhh what sort of prize?
"Okay. You can win things for me first, then we'll look for potato. Or maybe bread."
Plain.

Hmm. Copernicus eyed the row of games set up along the street, hoping to gauge which one might allow him best chance to get a prize for his wife. He didn't feel physically strong enough yet to even swing a hammer at that strong man game.
Maybe the weight guessing one now, since he'd lost so much recently. HMM.
"I don't know, Shiny. Maybe you're better suited to winning us a prize today."

"I don't know, Shiny. Maybe you're better suited to winning us a prize today."
"Maybe." She agreed, snuggling up to him and linking her arm through his. "But even a booby prize won by my Copernicus for me is better than the best possible prize that I could win for myself."
She nuzzled him.
"What about the wand shooting range?" He could do that, easy!

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.
Anna waved goodbye to Nessie as she walked away from her and her friend. She was so excited to meet new people before school started. She also couldn't wait to meet Juliet. This is going to be a GREAT year Anna thought to herself and looked over at her best friend

"My wand..." He flexed his fingers slightly before touching the holstered wand. It worked just fine for him, mostly, and so Cope figured the lack was in him. Maybe less enthusiasm, maybe less confidence, certainly less desire to play at fighting.
"Yes, of course. But I'd have to leave you. Don't want you getting hit in there." And he was loathe to leave her.

Slick Gibbins swallowed down the rest of his dinner and then wiped his mouth on his shirt. Checking his watch, he noted that it was time to make another round or two. He smiled a very toothless grin as he pulled his cart full of goodies out into the street. "Carnival goodies!" he yelled out. "Get yer carnival goodies here!" He weaved his cart in and out of random groups of people, being careless as he did so and not paying much attention to what he was doing. "Inflatable unicorns! Stuffed wands! Get 'em here, folks!"

"I've been good",she nodded,"glad that finals are over and just enjoying my summer.What about you?"Summer at Diagon Alley was definitely one of the things Fee was looking forward the most during the year.Diagon Alley wa the place were she met all her friends and got to know the new ones.

With a soft hoot that was possible drowned out by all the carnival sounds, he gracefully descended, circling the girl overhead twice, and dropping the letter when she noticed his presence. He circled once more, and then gave his large wings a great flight, pulling himself back into the sky.
"Well it looks great. And you look good." Ellie told her, giving her a little wink. She had definitely missed her Fee time. Ellie sighed a little and looked back at the table of jewelry. "I feel like we haven't hung out in ages. We should go shopping sometime. Before school. And update our wardrobes." She told her with a grin. Because they were shopping buddies, and Fee was her fashion consultant.
Ellie nodded, completely understanding. "I know what you mean. I'm so glad finals and homework is over and done with. I was drowning in textbooks." She said with a relieved laugh. She was glad that was over.
Just as Ellie opened her mouth to say something, she heard the hooting of an owl and looked up. The brown owl was circling over her with a letter. Ellie reached her arms out and caught the letter in both hands when he dropped it and then flew away. Ellie gave the letter a perplexed look and then smiled sadly when she read who it was from. Presley Black. The adorable, kind first year. Deciding it was best to read it later, in private, Ellie tucked the letter in her purse with a faint smile.

"No." She looked alarmed and squeezed his arm. "No." He wasn't leaving her side.

"Eeep!" Something ran into her and Celandine automatically went hands to stomach, protectively.
Blink blink.
... stuffed wands?
As in they were soft and had stuffing in them, or they didn't work?

"So what else do you have besides Inflatable unicorns and stuffed wands" William asked the carnie man.

"Then I stay with you," Copernicus began in complete agreement, although they were quite suddenly jostled by a man with a cart. In a flash, he had his wand out and pointed at the man - an irrational action that took him as much by surprise as anyone else.
"You must be careful, sir. My wife was nearly run over by your contraption." He glanced at Cela. Put wand away?

Slick frowned as his cart connected with something that slowed his progress. He tugged at the cart, the stuffed unicorns and other novelties swinging wildly, as she tried to pick up pace again. "Carnival goodies!" he yelled out, not wanting to lose a buck or two on account of a snag in the road. "Get yer--..."

Slick paused as he was once again halted, this time by a wand to the face. Eh? He eyed the man then turned to check for himself that there really was a woman, the man's wife he guessed, standing around nearby. "Now I ain't looking fer no trouble, young man," he said. "Just trying to sell my...inflatable unicorns! Stuffed wands!" Even as he talked, his voice adopted the same tone he used when calling out to crowds. It was a habit hard to break for a man who relied on these sales. "Tell me now. Can I interest you in a stuffed heart? A blinking set of red lips?" He pointed upward to a set of fire engine red lips, a foot long and blinking red with lights. "Only 2 galleons and 16 sickles!" Heh heh.

Slick used this opportunity to step out of the range of the pointed wand. "What'cha see here, boy, is what I've got! Inflatable unicorns! Stuffed wands!" he yelled again. Those two were clearly his big sellers. Or big money-makers, really. Those were the ones Slick liked the most. "Blinking red lips!"

Good. That made her relax a bit. Cela blinked at the sudden appearance of his wand and then she... well she swooned a little bit and made eyes at him.
He was protecting her! Wasn't he wonderful?
She patted his arm. He could put it away, but he WAS right. The carnie should be more careful.

Baffling.
"What would anyone do with blinking red lips?"
Celandine was wary, but intrigued. She squished closer to her husband, trying to stay out of the way of the cart, which was clearly more dangerous than first appearances let on.

"I would gladly take a pair of those lips in exchange for my continued silence in what is obviously a danger to the good folks in the crowd," Copernicus pitched his own voice louder as well. The lips were honestly hideous, but Cela was making eyes at them.
Biggest kiss in the world, wot?
"We'll call it even payment for my not finding an Auror or a journalist to see what other expectant mothers you've run over in the past." It felt like someone else had taken over his mouth, but it was wonderfully freeing.

"Copey, don't worry about it." Cela was making eyes at HIM. "I'm okay. Plimpy too, see?" Celandine took his hand and put it on her stomach, which was fluttering and nudging of its own accord. She fussed at his hair with her other hand.
She DID keep looking at the flashing lips though. Really, what were they FOR?

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
Ari burst out laughing so hard that her stomach began to hurt. 'I'm sorry, but this is just sooo complicated! However, I think I understood now.' she said, shaking her head in amusement. 'As a girl, I'm supposed to know all these stuff, right?' she asked, her smile turning into a frown.
'Sure I want to come, if you'll have me!' As for linking arms...'Err-okay, I s'ppose.' Ariadne decided, hoping it was the right choice. She raised an eyebrow at the name 'Oz', but before she could ask, Rose explained it was a Muggle film, and for Ari it was enough.

"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.
'My thoughts exactly.' Ari replied to Mordred's statement about friendship. It was almost as if he could read minds. Maybe he was a Legilimens? What? Could be.
'Now you've made me curious as well. If you solve the mystery, promise me you'll tell me.' Ari said, wondering what it was. 'It must be sad that your cousins are returning to Durmstrang, but at least you've had the whole summer to spend with each other, no?'
When Ari realized it had been a mistake to ask about Chloe, it was, unfortunately, too late. 'I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up the subject. But now that I have...I think it's better to talk about this now than to dwell on it.' Ariadne added, cautiously.
'If your owl returns well-fed and looking good, interception is definitely ruled out.' the girl stated the obvious, by basic logic. 'But why wouldn't she send a reply? If I were her, I would at least send a final letter to let you know what was going on.' Waiting and hoping were torture, in Ari's opinion. 'Maybe it's time to stop writing, it's just pointless without receiving an answer.' she suggested, already fearing the boy's reaction.
'I just had a hot-dog, they're pretty good, you should try one. But otherwise, I don't know much about Muggle food, or food in general, as my mum is a terrible cook.' Ari chuckled, hoping they could count on Rose's expertise. 'And I don't know about Oz either, I grew up in the wizarding world as you did.' Ari reminded Mordred. 'Let's hope it's something harmless.' she joked.

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.
'Umm, so you're Dorothy, which is fine, as you suggested this in the first place. Then what about Mordred and me? Who or what do we have to be?' Ariadne asked, dreading the answer.
Did you just lose something? The GAME? Sorry... 'Justin Bieber, he is the man!' U mad, Felton!?

'YAY!' Rose shrieked as she linked arms with Ari as well. 'Well... Hmm... You're gonna have to be Toto, unless you mind being cowardly or dumb... And Mordred, you can be the Tin Man!' Rose smirked. 'You don't like being hugged, and the Tin Man is oblivious to love!' Rose laughed. Then she started to spin them again. 'We're off to see the Wizard! The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!' Rose sang.
"Well it looks great. And you look good." Ellie told her, giving her a little wink. She had definitely missed her Fee time. Ellie sighed a little and looked back at the table of jewelry. "I feel like we haven't hung out in ages. We should go shopping sometime. Before school. And update our wardrobes." She told her with a grin.

Fee couldnt help but smile at Ellie's comment.It felt good to hang out with the Ravenclaw again.They needed to do that waay more often."You look good too",she grinned,"as always."Shopping?Before school?With Ellie.Now that sounded like the most fab plan ever."Yeees the shopping buddies on tour again",the blonde chuckled,"the world should prepare again.We need to meet up more often my lady."They didnt meet enough at all,but whenever they did it was a blast.
Drowning in textbooks,yeep the Slytherin totally knew how that felt."Thats the worst part about summer",she laughed,"before you get to enjoy it you get to work."Of course that was totally logical but still.Uncooooool.
The fourth year smiled as she saw that Elli got a letter from an owl.Hopfully it would be good nes,from the look of her friends it seemed to be at least.

She looked good as always? Oh please, don't make her laugh. "Oh you're making me blush, Fee." Ellie said dramatically with a laugh. Shopping buddies on tour. Definitely. "Of course. And when Hogsmeade opens, we need to go there together too." She told her blonde friend with a devious smile. They were like shopping hurricanes, every time they went into a clothing store, they bought everything and left the store empty. Happiness. "You are quite right, my lady." Ellie said, repeating her term.
Ellie sighed. "Yeah. Luckily all my summer work is done. Now I just get to relax and enjoy the rest of my summer." With her friends. That made her smile. Ellie found a shiny, jewel necklace on the stall next to them. It was blue, and really pretty. And probably way expensive. But still she picked up and examined it. "This is pretty." She said to herself and Fee.
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.
Emily laughed a little. "Thanks? I think. We should form some sort of short people club! For people who are... short?!" That came out kindda wierd, but she just shrugged it off.
"It woudn't matter to me! Big, small, magical, muggle. All books are worth reading!" Except the one's that sucked. "So I take it your a pure blood then?" She hadn't meant it to be so personal and she quickly blushed and started rambling. "I mean.. I never really liked muggle fairytales either. I prefer wizarding ones, even though I read them when I was older..." Someone stop her!
Emily actually stopped and thought about the question. She'd read alot on them, but wasn't really sure how to answer. "Well it'll probably take years of training. I know after Hogwarts you can go study them at dragon sanctuary's, and you'd have to be quite good at stunning spell's, but other than that I'm not sure..." She made a mental note to look that up. "What about wandmakers? What kind of training to they need?" Mabye training wasn't the right word, but she hadn't really read much on wandlore.

Hmm...Decisions, decisions. She could either be a dog, or a coward, or a dumb person. Under no circumstances would she choose the dumb one, and as a Gryffindor she wouldn't be caught dead acting a coward. Which left...'The dog. Although I'm more of a cat person, myself. Please don't tell me that I have to bark or wiggle my non-existent tail.' Ari laughed, waiting to see how Mordred would react to his assigned role.

'I seem to be entering a lot of weird clubs lately. Like the I Hate William one. Oh, but you haven't heard of that. Most of my friends are annoyed at some boy in my year and they're uniting forces.' Ariadne chuckled. 'I know that sounds terrible, but he's really irritating most of the times.' Ari started to wonder whether she was talking a bit too much.
Her remark did sound pure-blood-ish, indeed, but she wasn't one, nevertheless. 'I grew up in the wizarding world, but I'm, in fact, Half-Blood.' she replied briefly, not feeling the need to get into details about her messed-up family. 'Which is your favourite magical fairytale?' Safe territory, safe conversation subject. Hopefully.
'You should ask Madam Donovan for career counselling. I went to the Headmaster to ask him what I needed in order to become a wandmaker, but he sent me to our Head of House instead. I reckon I must take an apprenticeship with a registered wandmaker after I graduate, and I must be really good with magical creatures, Transfiguration and Charms.' Ariadne replied, twirling her hair, deep in thought.

'Now you've made me curious as well. If you solve the mystery, promise me you'll tell me.' Ari said, wondering what it was. 'It must be sad that your cousins are returning to Durmstrang, but at least you've had the whole summer to spend with each other, no?'
When Ari realized it had been a mistake to ask about Chloe, it was, unfortunately, too late. 'I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up the subject. But now that I have...I think it's better to talk about this now than to dwell on it.' Ariadne added, cautiously.
'If your owl returns well-fed and looking good, interception is definitely ruled out.' the girl stated the obvious, by basic logic. 'But why wouldn't she send a reply? If I were her, I would at least send a final letter to let you know what was going on.' Waiting and hoping were torture, in Ari's opinion. 'Maybe it's time to stop writing, it's just pointless without receiving an answer.' she suggested, already fearing the boy's reaction.
'I just had a hot-dog, they're pretty good, you should try one. But otherwise, I don't know much about Muggle food, or food in general, as my mum is a terrible cook.' Ari chuckled, hoping they could count on Rose's expertise. 'And I don't know about Oz either, I grew up in the wizarding world as you did.' Ari reminded Mordred. 'Let's hope it's something harmless.' she joked.
"I'll tell you right away if I find something. It could be anything." he said as he made a mental note to let her know ASAP. It wouldn't be difficult to remember though, since Miss Donovan is her head of house. "I wish they were attending Hogwarts too." he said with a frown. "But they promised they will send me lots of letters this term."
Mordred shrugged as she mentioned Chloe. "It's okay. She better have a good reason why she's not replying to my letters." he said as he looked away. "You're right." he nodded. "Best if I stop sending her letters. It's pointless and she's wasting my time." he said in a hurt tone. "I'm just happy I have new friends." he added but still frowning. A part of him wanted to go and find Chloe, and a part of him wants to forget her friend. Mordred then lets out a deep sigh.
Hotdog?"Well, you seem okay so I'm guessing it is harmless." he said as he watched her carefully. Hotdog, what on earth is that?"Well..." he said straightening up, "Let's go and grab some muggle food. I'm starving."
But before heading to the food stalls...
SPOILER!!: Rose!

Rose began to spin them around, as Mordred tried his best not to trample on their feet. "Wait, wait, wait!" he said stopping, as he was getting dizzy. "Can we not do that?" he said looking as if he was about to throw up. "I'm getting dizzy." he said.
Tin Man?
"Perfect. I can do that." he said as he carried on with his role. He headed toward the food stalls rubbing his head. "That really was some silly dance."

Nora nodded quickly, but still felt terrible. "I'm sorry," she mumbled again, promising to herself that she'll never look up again when she was walking. It would be just the ground and her feet. Nothing else to stare at.
"What is this place?" The girl asked before she could stop herself, trying to keep her voice down. "I mean... has it always been here?" She was talking about the carnival, of course. Let's just hope that he'll think about it as well, or else they'll have a really stupid conversation.
He eyed the little girl, she looked like she was amazed very amazed by this place and embarrased by what had happened "Don't be, it's okay" he nodded and smiled. "So, what's your name?" he asked "I'm Nikolas" he said.
She then asked what was this place..."Umm Diagon Alley?" Have she not been here before? And the next question made everything clear..."Ohhh the carnival?" he chuckled "I thought you meant Diagon Alley" it was funny to even think that. "Well no, I found out about the carnival today. It is awesome. Have you gone to other places here in the carnival?" Because he hasn't and it would be cool to see the whole carnival.

Emma skipped over to this part of the Carnival. She had already been to Bumper Brooms and met a very nice guy called Everett, had a race in the Bouncy Castle with Alfredore and her boyfriend, and hung out with Selena and Alice. Merlin, this Carnival was awesome! The blonde wanted it to last for a long time but all good things do have to come to an end. Today, the Slytherin was meeting up with her cousin and her cousin's daughter. The Malfoy couldn't wait until she saw Trixie and Tabs. She had missed her cousin's company desperately at Hogwarts and she was so excited to see her and Tabs. Tabs was gorgeous. The Malfoy looked from left and right to see if Trixie was here.

Celandine was wary, but intrigued. She squished closer to her husband, trying to stay out of the way of the cart, which was clearly more dangerous than first appearances let on.
Slick summoned a set of the blinking red lips from the top of the cart he'd been tugging along. He turned them over and over in his hands, trying to make sure the lights were being displayed in a way that would be suitable for the lady. He was trying to make a sell here. "Could be used as a decoration," he said, and then he released the pair of lips and let them come to a stop just where they'd been before at the top of the cart. "...and some have found other uses." He shrugged. "Not sure what, but I've heard that, I have. Guess it would all depend on the buyer."

Biggest kiss in the world, wot?
"We'll call it even payment for my not finding an Auror or a journalist to see what other expectant mothers you've run over in the past." It felt like someone else had taken over his mouth, but it was wonderfully freeing.
Slick turned his attention back to the boy, his eyes narrowed and lips twisted into a frown. "Now I ain't looking fer no trouble, boy," he remarked. He eyed the kid next to them, the paying customer. His brown eyes scanned the area, taking in the others who may or may not be paying witness to this little exchange. "I didn't run 'er over. She was in my way, kid." ...but even as he spoke, he summoned the red lips back down from the top of the cart and handed them to the expectant mother. "I'll be on my way. Got other people to sell to."
He grumbled under his breath. He'd have to overcharge the next few customers to make up for the free lips.

"Two galleons, sixteen sickles, and eighteen knuts," Slick answered. As he gave that total, his narrowed eyes flickered toward the expectant mother and her wand happy husband. "It's a sell then," he said, smiling a toothless grin as he looked back toward the paying customer. He summoned a second pair of lips from the top of the cart.
