Jenna looked up at Vee, she had been waiting to tell her this the whole time. "Well, I got to spend some time with Henry, Anne and Nico..." Jenna looked up at Vee with her big eyes willing her to notice a certain something that she just said.

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 12:10 am

"Omigosh!!!!!!!!!!!! You've become an elderly old auntie!" Vee joked. About the elderly part. Not the auntie part.

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 12:13 am

Jenna nodded vigorously "He's perfect, my little nephew. Look's just like Henry too. I'm planning on getting him a toy broomstick as soon as Anne will let me buy one for him. I intend to be the type of aunt that spoils their little nephew. And he will be begging to spend weekends with me as soon as I have my own place and he's old enough."

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 12:18 am

"Speaking of spoiling, look what mum let me have. Isn't it gorgeous?" Vee asked, displaying her finger with the jade ring on it. "I don't know what brought it on, usually she isn't this generous." Truth be told, it was probably her switch of houses.

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 12:22 am

Jenna looked at the piece of jade adorning her friend's finger, "It's beautiful. Jade is my favorite gemstone, the ring suits you well. It's simple and elegant. Just like you. Emphasis on the simple part."

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 12:25 am

"I am offended."

Short!Post is shot because Vee has walked off in a huff.

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 12:54 am

Jenna is refusing to speak with Vee until she learns the concept of something called a 'joke'.

[Sorry Mads, Jenna is just more stubborn than I am.]

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 12:59 am

Vee is contemplating walking out of Maddie's head and giving Jenna a talking to. Fred is barring the....door?

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 1:01 am

[Because Fred understands the concept of a joke, Vee does not. Which is weird, because Jenna makes little friendly jabs at her all the time so she should be used to this by now.]

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 1:03 am

Vee understands the concept completely. But is still offended, because she feels like it. Fred is only barring the door because he knows Vee will do something idiotic if she is release. Vee is pacing frantically.

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 1:06 am

Gwen has asked (who are we kidding, she demanded) that I relay this message from her to you Madsters. And this is a direct quote here, 'IF I DON'T GET SOME FREDDIE TIME SOON I WILL MURDER YOU ALL.' End quote. Her words, not mine. She must REAAAALLLLYYYY like him. She's already beaten me up so I'm a bit worried about what else little Gwennie might do.

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 1:46 am

Sorry, no can do.

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 4:20 am

Maybe we should leave the ice cream parlor. We aren't RPing anymore.

**Victoria Black** September 2nd 2011, 4:23 am

Vee gets up and walks out of the ice cream parlour with Jenna after eating her ice cream and paying for it.

**Jenna Wood** September 2nd 2011, 4:24 am

ditto.
[lazy post is lazy.]

Violet Lockwood wrote:"America." Violet says it with some thought, as if trying to remember everything she'd learned about American witches at some time or another. She realized it was very little. "Well, welcome to the other side of the pond. Promise we're not so weird once you learn your way around and find out what it is you've been missing all your life." She smirked, reaching into her pocket and holding out her palm with a few coins on it. "The money's not so strange. Galleons, sickles, and knuts," she said, tapping each with her thumb, though she figured she knew by look which was which by now. "7 sickles to the galleon, 29 knuts to the sickle, and 493 knuts to the galleon, simple enough. I think to compare it to your American money, a knut is a little more than a penny, a sickle is a little more than two of your big silver quarter things, and a galleon is about ten of the paper ones, with the 1 on them. Oh, and it's Slytherin, by the way. That's where I am, too," she added, correcting the pronunciation of the house. "How did they sort you already? Just curious. I know most transfers have to wait until the first day, and do it along with the first years."

Oh look Joel took forever ugh.

Addie just looked as the other girl explained the money. "Interesting how they go over. American money is so much easier, since it's ruled by the quarter." She just shrugged and licked her cone. "Anyway, I'm pretty so if I play dumb, people will automatically try to help me. One of the benefits of being a cute foreigner- manipulation." Laughing she pulled her wand out of it's sheath and whisked the rest of her cone away. Leaning forward, and resting her chin on her hands she stared at Violet intently. "My brother was over last year, as a nursing intern, and I was actually supposed to attend last year as well, but Quidditch trouneys at my school and various family drama kept me over there."

Smiling, she leaned back in her chair to lounge. "The boys in my family are quite gifted with combat magic, most of them are Aurors. Unfortunately, they're not gifted with healing magic, except for dear Raph but mother is training him for other things." Joel is continuing on with his characters history shhh. "I had to stay back and help one of my brother's grow back an arm and a few other bits he'd blown off. Messy business." She also had to stay back and kill a few nasty things that had escaped their prisons, causing trouble with the Muggles but she wouldn't talk about that side of her life just yet.

**Violet Lockwood** September 4th 2011, 5:04 am

Oh look Pansy doesn't mind because she's learned patience with people.

Violet laughed, appreciating the girl's explanation of how she got people to help her. "That's actually sort of brilliant." She stared back at Adelia, unfazed by how intently she was looking at her. She lifted her eyebrows in interest as she talked about her brother and family things keeping her at home, nodding in understanding. Violet is curious about the history and Pansy is trying to explain who Raph is but Violet is now bored and tellng her to shush, that she has a best friend to talk to instead. "An arm? Wow, that's... that's intense. How did it go? He got an arm back? I've never heard of growing one back, I didn't know it was possible. But I never really studied much healing magic. Mostly dueling, like your brothers I think."

**Adelia Kara Whiteraven** September 4th 2011, 5:22 am

Adelia shrugged. "It's a load of gross. I don't know how it might be done differently, but I basically had to regrow his bones, then the muscles and the veins and nerves and tendons, the skin the hair, the nails. Everything." She pulled a bottle of water (the one that wasn't blessed by a priest from every main religion) from one of her many bags and took a swig. "It took a few days, and it was very painful for him. Mamman had to help, it was that hard. There are ways to cheat, but they're considered 'dark magic' so I had to play by the rules." Pouting prettily she pulled another swig from the bottle.

**Violet Lockwood** September 4th 2011, 5:28 am

"I would think. I can't feel good to regrow an arm. I had to regrow a fingernail once that got yanked out and that was bad enough." Violet grinned at the girl's pout, shrugging lightly. "Well, it's probably better to try to heal someone important to you the right way, instead of taking short cuts with dark magic. Not that I have any reservations against dark magic." She lowered her voice, leaning across the table. "I'm in a bit of the darkest anyway. Going to take the Mark soon."

**Adelia Kara Whiteraven** September 4th 2011, 5:32 am

Cocking her head to the side, Addie leaned forward. "The mark? What's that?" She liked the idea of conspiratorial whispers. "The most dark magic I wanted to do was cut off some Muggle's arm and attach it to my brother, but the thing is it would have had to be fresh- I would have had to kill someone. Big deal though, it was just a Muggle." She shrugged, waiting for Violet to answer about this 'mark'. She wondered if there was some test or something one had to take.

**Violet Lockwood** September 4th 2011, 5:36 am

Violet kept quiet about the Muggle comments. She wasn't overly fond of Muggles but she didn't dislike them or see them as less, not really, not when she had grown up with some for periods of her life. Instead, she turned all her attention to explaining the mark. "I guess his fame hasn't reached across to you guys yet. He's only the most powerful wizard ever, though. He's delved into magic darker than anyone dares to touch, and he's got some great ideas, and he's offering positions of power and chances for ambitious wizards to learn and rise to the top with him. And I intend to ride along. It's You-Know-Who, and we take the Dark Mark on our left arms. His mark, a skull and snake. And from there on out, we're with him, learning and rising and fighting for the superiority of wizards and purebloods."

**Adelia Kara Whiteraven** September 4th 2011, 5:50 am

Adelia's eyes widened, and she continued on in a whisper of a whisper of a whisper. "You mean Lord Voldemort? You're a supporter?" her voice squeaked a bit on the last syllable. "My mother hates him, loathes everything about him and all he stands for." She paused for a moment before grinning wickedly. "I find myself slightly obsessed with him, rebel that I am. If dear Maman hates him so, I'm bound to love him."

**Violet Lockwood** September 4th 2011, 5:53 am

A devilish smirk twisted across Violet's lips, curling up the corners and her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Oh yes. That's precisely who I mean. Interesting how your mother hates him and you're drawn to the idea of him. His power is what interests me. How much he knows, how good he is at everything, everything." She leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms and maintaining that smirk on her face. "You should tag along to a meeting sometime. See what it's like."

**Adelia Kara Whiteraven** September 4th 2011, 5:59 am

Laughing, Addie nodded along like the naught girl she is. "Sounds like a plan! I'd love too." She happened to look down at her watch and notice the time. "Oh! Damn! It's almost time to get on the train and I'm not fully packed." Standing, she hurried to grab all of her shopping bags before stopping. "I don't even know where the train station is at..."

**Violet Lockwood** September 4th 2011, 6:03 am

Violet jumped up as well, shouting after Addie as she ran out. "King's Cross! Close by! There'll be other families you can follow, just look for the trunks and owls!" She watched for a second as the girl hurried out, and then, wishing Mr. Fortescue a good fall before she left, she too headed out into the street and made her way back toward the entrance to London.
