Username: DeViAnT01
Name: Drake Scott
House: Gryffindor
Bio: Raised in wealth, you would assume Drake had the high life. Mother a dentist, father a co-buisness owner, Drake had it all...or so he thought. Father was always stuck at work, mother always away. Drake had nobody except his husky (dog) Chipp. Then he got the letter....
Other: Drake LOVES Quidditch. He's the seeker for the home team. Also, he has an owl named Zeus.

The alarmclock rang, it was September 1st. Drake didn't want to get up, he just wanted to curl back up in the blankets. Chipp was warm, as he lay next to Drake. He rolled over and put his arm around the dog, running his fingers through the dogs thick coat.
"I'm gonna miss you, boy"
Drake got up, and wished he hadn't. It was freezing cold!
Dont we have a heater?
Feeling around the dark, he found the light switch and turned on the light. Brushing his teeth, throwing on a Hollister v-neck with a pair of jeans, he headed downstairs. The note with the owl said that the bus would be here around 3, and it was now 2:30, to take him to Diagon Alley. He needed supplies. Packing some clothes, and grabbing a bagel, he headed out the door.

Name: Lillian Rose
House: Gryffindor
Bio: Lilly is a nice girl, but with a bold side. She loves to laugh, but she's protective. Also, she is able to be calm in stressful situations, which helps others. They look up to her. Her mother owns a shop in Diagon Alley.
Other: She has a cat Luna, and exceeds in Transfigurations
Student:



Lilly gazed out the window, and wished her excitement would settle. She would finally be going to HOGWARTS! Her mother was so proud.
"I WILL disown you if you settle into Slytherin", her mother joked.
As she sipped her cup of coffee, she waited for her mother to get around and take her to Gringotts. She wanted to get to her new school as soon as possible.
Luna hopped up into Lilly's lap, and started purring.
"I know, I love you too", Lilly ran her hand down Luna's back.

Bio: Lorelei's family has been comprised of witches and wizards as far back as can be documented. They have also sent their sons and daughters to Hogwarts, all of which has been in the House of Slytherin. Lorelei is no exception and she finds nothing wrong with it. She hates the stigma put on her family, even if her parents can be arrogant about their "pure-blood" status. Lorelei doesn't take kindly to anyone who judges her based solely on her lineage and is quick to strike back.
Other: No, she cannot to snakes. No, she does not wish for a "pure-blood" society. She thinks 'Mudblood' is an offensive word, like most of wizarding society, and just as much a fan of Quidditch as the next person. In fact, she's the new Seeker and is very competitive. She brings that same drive to her academics.

Bio: Kole Nakashita comes from a very wealthy pureblood Slytherin family. He is like most Slytherins, arrogant, mean, and snobby. He loves teasing people. He is the older twin brother of Kimmi Nakashita.

Other: Goes through a LOT of girls. So watch out, the heartbreaker is here.

Student-
Username: ascadellia
Name: Marionette Feralis
House: Ravenclaw
Bio: She's a pure-blooded witch, as far as she knows or cares. Her family is very well off, though isn't in the elite or High high class. Which is fine with her and her family. They never could bear to keep up with people at parties they wouldn't remember the day after. She used to dabble in modeling before but gave it up because she felt it wasn't a very good career for her. She had much bigger things she wanted to do, not strut around on a stage. She had a brother who had gone to Hogwarts before her, but he had already graduated and gone off to work in Gringots. When she got the letter to Hogwarts, her parents were elated, and gave her a raise in her 'allowance' and gave her a new pet puppy.

She has many qualities to fit her in any house honestly, but she's more for smarts than anything else. She's hoping for Ravenclaw, since it seems the house to benefit her the most. Slytherin didn't seem like such a bad choice, given her father was from there and turned out alright.
Other: Has no pet, as she doesn't like owls very much, nor can she have a cat. She's allergic to them and will more than likely get what looks like bruises if she touches or is touched by one.

Username: ascadellia
Name: Michael Dawson
House: Gryfindor
Bio: He's a half-blood. His father was a muggle, and mother was a witch. They were all very pleased when they found out that Michael had been able to get accepted into Hogwarts. He doesn't look or act like a half-blood though, so many were surprised to find out that he had a muggle father. He has a playful air about him and he's never afraid to go for a good dare or prank. Serious about his education however, since he feels it's a privelege to go to a wizarding school instead of the normal muggle school.
Other: He's pretty good at quiddich, but is debating on it to see if he actually wants to join it.

The bus stop was right down the road by the big willow tree. Drake saw it in the distance, so he stopped where he was and waited.
*BANG!*
He blinked, and a brilliant purple bus was planted right in front of him. Casually steppin onto the bus, he sat in one of the seats. He was then thrown back against the seat, and with another-
*BANG!*
-the bus bolted toward the destination, and fast. Drake had never seen a bus go this fast before.
*BANG!*
They came to a quick stop at-
"The Leaky Cauldron"?
Weird....
Drake stepped off the bus and entered the pub. Heads turned and followed him to the bar. Asking Tom, he found out the bartenders name, where Diagon Alley is, Drake was lead to the back door. Thats where Drake found himself, in a back alley, facing a wall....left alone....with no instruction on what to do.....
"Hopeless..."
----------

[post away y'all]

"Our little girl is going to Hogwarts! Your mother and I couldn't be happier!" A late middle-aged man, his dark brown hair tinged with silvery hairs around the temples and dressed in what could be described as a business suit, exclaimed. Following near him were two women, one near his age with lighter brown hair that fell about her in ringlets and clothed in a Victorian-styled dress. The other one was considerably younger, her hair taking more to her mother's, though there were various streaks of darker brown mixed within her hair. Eyes, the color of a peculiar mixture of violet and blue, peered out from beneath darker lashes, and a smile was formed on her pearl-pink lips that spoke of pride. Yes, she, Lorelei Syran, was a one of the newest additions to the enrollment of Hogwarts and they were off to Diagon Alley to purchase her supplies.

She wore a ruffled white blouse, a tailored navy-blue jacket worn over it, and a pleated plaid skirt of navy-blue and black. Stappy one-inch black heels gave her a little more height to her otherwise unremarkable 5'8 frame. With her hair falling about her shoulders, she looked every inch a young lady of a high-class family. As they passed through the Leaky Cauldron, she noted the stares that they recieved, both respectful and scornful. She kept her head held high and shoulders back, refusing to let the latter bring them down.

Lorelei stood a little bit behind her parents, noting that they were whispering to one another. Peering around them, she noticed that a boy around her age was staring at the wall that was to bring them into Diagon Alley.

"Probably Muggle-born..."

"It's ridiculous..."

Her parents kept whispering to one another, Lorelei giving a sigh and rolling her eyes. Coming from the "great" and "noble" old household of Syran meant that her family normally had swollen heads in their importance. How Lorelei had escaped it, even she did not know, but whatever the case, just standing around wasn't going to solve anything. Walking forward, hearing the whisperings of her parents die down when they realized their daughter was walking towards the Muggle.

"Hello." She smiled, hoping she didn't sound like she was being condescending with what she was about to say next, "You're from a Muggle family, right? Don't worry, even wizarding families have problems sometimes with getting in. You just go three up and two across, three times...starting...here."

Starting at the brick she pointed at, she traced up and across, tapping the necessary bricks to open the way. Sure enough, the moment she touched the final brick, the way to Diagon Alley opened. It certainly was a lot noisier, but this was nothing new to Lorelei and especially not her parents, who were now walking past them.

"Come along, Lorelei." Her mother said, giving the Muggle-born boy a quick sweep of her light-blue eyes before turning away to begin navigating through the crowd. Lorelei looked back at the boy with an apologetic smile.

"Well, guess I'll see you around." She said, giving a small wave before turning to begin to walk after her parents.

Two pairs of long legs stepped out of a sleek black limo. Kimmi and Kole Nakashita, the twins of one of the oldest and wealthiest Slytherin families. Every single Nakashita had gone to Hogwarts and been sorted into Slytherin house. It was no doubt that the twins would, too. Kimmi, in a black leather miniskirt, leather boots, tights, and a frilly tank top with tons of jewelry, walked alongside her older twin brother, Kole, who was wearing skinny jeans, a collar shirt, and aviators. Their parents, the famed party hosts every wizard or witch wanted to hire for a great time, were in Milan hosting some famous wizard actor's party, so they weren't there with them. Kole reached up and tapped the blocks. The wall split open, and they stepped through, poised and glamorous as ever. They attracted quite a bunch of onlookers, too. As they walked through the streets, there were whispers.

"Aren't they the twins?"

"They look so cool in real life!"

The twins had modeled a bunch of times, and been on a couple of magazine covers. Because apparently everyone in the wizarding world wanted to see the children of 'celebrities'. They ignored all the stares and continued walking. "Kole, hurry up," Kimmi whined. She was getting a bit annoyed. "Yeah, yeah, coming." Kole looked down at the list he had entered onto his iPhone. "Let's see...let's get the books first." Kimmi started dragging Kole to the bookstore.

The girl seemed nice, but her parents gave him the cold shoulder. Drake didn't know why though. He watched as they opened up the wall.
"Thanks", Drake said as he stepped into Diagon Alley. The street was busy. Students were shopping for their supplies as parents watched in amazement. Drake checked his list.

Drake had already been through Gringotts, an older wizard had helped him. So, he searched for a clothing store. He found 'Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions ' where he purchaced his winter cloak, gloves, and his work robes. Checking off that section on his list, he went to 'Flourish and Blotts' bookstore...

[hello?]

[[I'm just waiting for others to post before beginning another. :)]]

Just then, A silly looking girl comes a "mile- a minute" down the street after a black cat. "Luna! come back!!! You ALWAYS get me into trouble when you do this!!! And I need to finish things before i get on the train!"

Drake had reserved a room in the Leaky Cauldron. He resumed his shopping.
Good thing Drake had a cart, because he had so many books. Having got his owl, which he named Zeus, his cauldron, and his telescope, Drake was almost done. He was currently distracted, face in the window of 'Quality Quidditch Supplies' shop. He was admiring the newest broom, The Dasher 3.0. The flashy advertisement read:

Calling all Quidditch players! This new broomstick - the Dasher 3.0- was just released and is comparable to NO other broomstick out there, even the beloved Firebolt. The Arrobolt contains features that only the greatest have dreamed.

Jet black, made with wood from trees found only deep in the forests of Romania, this handcrafted broomstick can reach speeds of 150 mph.
Only two people may fit comfortably on the broom for short distances only. Otherwise, strain will be placed on the broom and may cause its other features to malfunction slightly.

Easy riding, and smooth. This broomstick will open a path to your young players future.

This broomstick is great for witches and wizards of all ages and is currently available in Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley. Buy one today!


Wishing he had enough to buy it, Drake was let down. He didn't have enough, as he still needed his wand.
He heard a commotion.
Drake saw the cat, and stopped. Picking the cat up, he handed it to the girl.
"Hello, cute cat. Im Drake. Drake Scott", the girl seemed stressed or nervous. Drake couldn't tell which.

[Since this RP is based on the Harry Potter series, I've gone ahead and moved it into the Fan-Based subforum for you guys.

Just shoot me a pm if you want me to delete this post. :yes: ]

[[I'm waiting for others to post until I post again =3]]

[if you arent gonna post, or don't post soon, ill remove you from this thread. POST!]

After crossing the barrier to Diagon Alley, the blond haired girl glanced around, looking down at her list. She had to finish buying her books, and get everything else but the cauldron and the telescope. Her parents had shopped for them, trying to lighten the load of what she had to buy. Marionette glanced back up from the list and made her way to buy her books first. She could get everything else later. But the next thing had to be her wand. She couldn't wait to get it. Her black and silver boots silent as she adjusted the purse she wore over her shoulder.

She was wearing a dark brown halter top with silver details running down the sides, and a pair of black skinny jeans. Her neck held a silver pendant that hung low down her chest. She didn't exactly seem like she was young, but didn't look too old either. She made her way in the shop and glanced around, smiling softly as the familiar scent of parchment met her nose. She grabbed a basket to place the books in and started to look for her books. She already knew where most of the sections were, having come here often. It did help that they moved everything in somewhat plain view for the students to pick up their books.



Michael Dawson came out of the wand shop, grinning lightly. He had acquired a wand to his liking. Made of cedar, it was 11 inches and it's core was made out of dragon's heart-string. He was rather pleased with the results, since it wouldn't be too hard to use it. He went down his list, searching for what else he had to get. He needed his robes, and some other supplies. Thankfully he had been sent here earlier. Otherwise he would be in with the masses trying to get the books. Those were pretty darn heavy.He had rented a room at the Leaky Cauldron by now, the rest of his things in there. He ran a hand through his messy brown hair and adjusted his jacket, headed to get his new pet. He was hoping for an owl, as he didn't want to bother his parents with a different owl every time he wanted to send a letter.

"Lorelei, please behave yourself!" Her mother said in exasperation, the daughter giggling like crazy behind her as they exited from Gringotts with the necessary money they needed to buy her supplies. Her face was red from both the ride to the vault and her laughter. No matter how many times they went to Gringotts, Lorelei found herself screaming in delight as they zipped through the dizzying labyrinth. There was a wild look in her eye, complete with her windswept hair, that made her look like a normal child. Not that she wasn't normal, but there was normally a certain class about her because of her upbringing that set her slightly apart.

"I'm sorry, mother." Lorelei giggled, though she didn't look like was sorry at all, while she ran her fingers through her hair to try and get it back into place. Their next stop was to purchase her various articles of clothing, making sure to have her name stitched in silver thread in the inside pocket and her initials on her dragon-skin gloves. The next stop was to find her books, which was pretty easy to do, even if there were large volumes that Lorelei wished she could at least peek through. However, given her age, the assistant in their search was less than happy when the young girl started going through books that only advanced witches and wizards should make any sense of. They certainly looked interesting, the few spells she was able to look at before being hurried along, which only made her more intent on mastering the basics her first year.

There was then the matter of aquiring the necessary instruments, including the cauldron, telescope, and phials. Her family insisted on getting the crystal ones, saying that they better off than the glass ones. If anything, Lorelei thought they just looked prettier when the light bounced off of them. They then went to Eeylops Owl Emporium to pick out a new companion. They emerged awhile later with Lorelei proudly carrying the cage of a male Eagle Owl, whom she affectionately named Dante. Dante was currently preening his feathers, though every so often he would look up at her with the dark citrine eyes that had enthralled her.

Her father called for a porter to take all that she had purchased back to their home while Lorelei and her mother went ahead to Ollivander's to get the final piece that every good witch and wizard needed: a wand. Upon entering, they waited patiently for someone to help Lorelei with finding her wand, though her mother muttered very loudly about how they should be waited on. Lorelei merely looked to the side and tried to drown it out. When they were finally waited on, Lorelei was very eager to get started.

She went through a few wands before she finally felt the feeling that all had when they had finally found the wand that suited them the most. At eleven inches, the vine wand was intricately caved with its namesake. Within it was held unicorn hair, something that made Lorelei a little giddy. Then again, she probably would have been giddy if it had been dragon heartstring or phoenix feather!

Her purchases complete, Lorelei begged her parents to let her go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour to get some ice cream. Her parents finally relented, saying that they wanted her to meet them back at the entrance to Diagon Alley within two hours while they went to do some shopping of their own. Agreeing, Lorelei went off to buy her desired frozen treat and was soon walking around, observing other people, while nibbling away.

Drake found himself in Olivanders Wand Shop. The wand was the last thing on his list.
"Ah, Mr. Scott...I just knew I'd be seeing you here..."
He rummaged through a stack of boxes, and pulled one out.
"Its been on reservation for you" he held out the box. The wand was brilliant.

The wand fit snugly in Drakes hand. The instant Drakes hand touched the wood, a surge of static went through his arm, making the hair on his arm stand on end.
"The wand choses the Wizard....Mr. Scott..., Ebony, Phoenix feather with a bit of runespore venom, made in Belgum. 11 inches", Olivander was smiling now. Drake payed for the wand, and took his items to his room. He had extra time left, so he wandered around Diagon Alley. He bought a box of Every Flavored Beans, and muching on them he found himself in gazing at the Dasher 3.0 once again.

Papillon yawned as she stepped out of the limo her adopted father insisted she be droven in. She really was not very fond of the whole idea of being driven around like a celebrity. She wasn't, so why act like it?
"Do make sure to call your father when you are done with your shopping Miss Papillon..." the ancient chaffuer reminded as he got back into the car.
"Okey dokey!" Papillon replied cheerfully, giving him a small salute before skipping into the Leaky Cauldron in her simple white dress, lined with black lace and also wearing black mary-janes along with white stockings and a black lace choker. Rai was resting in his butterfly form on her shoulder.
"Enter the Leaky Cauldron and then find the brick wall in the alleyway. Tap them in the order I say, alright?"
"Sure thing!" Papillon piped up to what seemed like absolutely no one as she followed the butterflies instructions and managed to enter Diagon Alley. At the sight, she was struck into silence with awe and wonder by the sights.
"Wow~ this is so cool!"she mused, wandering around absentmindly now.
"Hey hey! Stay on task! Let's go get some cash and then we can go shopping for the things you need. Then you can go blow it somewhere." Papillon nodded. She decided to listen to her butterfly friend. Besides, he had been a Hogwarts student before. He must know what he was talking about. Soon after they got money, a hefty amount as well the butterfly spoke again.
"Let's get a wand first. That seems like the most logical thing to get. I mean, every witch and wizard needs a wand to go magic." the butterfly explained as he instructed Papillon to Olivander's.

In his daze, Drake bumped into someone. It was a girl.
"Sorry", he said. A butterfly fluttered around her head, and then gently landed back on her shoulder.

[did i mention that this is the new generation...so i get it yall kno were all 1st years?]

[Okay, okay, I'll post. I just didn't have time before. And some guy from Gryffindor-Michael I think, it says his wand is 1 inch O.o Might wanta fix that, one inch isn't a lot. xD]

The Nakashita's butler had come around to help them, a tall, muscular man with many connections, wizard and human, legal and underground. The faithful butler was currently lugging around all 10 of their heavy shopping bags in a extra-large cart. When it came to shopping, the Nakashitas were unstoppable, they bought anything they wanted, even if they didn't need it. "Alright sis, last stop." Kyle stopped walking and stopped in front of Olivander's wand shop. "Then let's go!" Kimmi always got high from shopping.

When they entered the shop, Olivander looked up and had a knowing smile on his face. "The Nakashitas, eh?" he took two boxes out from under the counter and presented them. "I've been waiting for this day. Your parents gave me a hard time finding their wands." He rolled his eyes. "They went through 10 wands each." But you guys are luckier, I already know the right wands for you. He pulled the wands out of their case. "Dark Willow, 11 inches, phoenix feather core."



The twins each took a wand and waved it around. It worked, and the room was even more glittering than ever before, two people finding their wands at the same time. Olivander smiled with a twinkle. "Have a nice year!"

( Thanks for telling me!! xD I could've sworn I'd put 11. >.>; Fixed now. ^ ^' And, since his pic isn't showing.. Here he is. :3 *goes to work on post* )

Marionette finished getting her books, along with a few extra. She blinked, her unnaturally light eyes scanning her list once more to double check she had gotten everything. She paid for the books and walked out of the store, balancing the books rather well. She hadn't brought anyone to help her with them, and she had yet to get a room at the Leaky Cauldron. So this would just have to carry them around. She went around and bought her robes along with a couple of extra clothing and then finished her rounds. She had no need for a wand. Luckily, she had been able to inherit her great grandmother's wand. It was 12 inches with a phoenix core and a small fragment of a chimera scale. The wood was madrona. It was a prized heirloom and she had been rather lucky it had accepted her. It also meant that she didn't have to buy a new one. She glanced around and grinned lightly, deciding to head over to get an ice cream. Her arms were getting very tired at around this time, with all the bags and boxes she carried. Damn rules not allowing us to use magic. she thought, somewhat sourly before she made her way to one of the tables out in the ice cream shop. She placed the things down, sighing a little at the relief of her arms.


Michael had finally, after what seemed like hours, found his owl. He named her Asrei. He bought a couple treats and a new cage for her before he stepped out of the shop, wandering around to watch the ongoers. Most seemed to be Hogwarts students going to get their supplies. Just like him. Some didn't seem so nice, while others were friendly enough. He smiled cheerfully, stroking Asrei's head lightly as he walked back to the Leaky Cauldron to place her in with the rest of his things in the room. He didn't think she would want to be with him all around and in a stuffy cage. He wanted her to spend some quiet time to herself and rest up while he explored. He hadn't really had much time here before, so it was an almost new thing for him.

Lorelei had gone back and forth down Diagon Alley, rarely seeing anything that repeated itself. That was what she liked about the place; you could stand in one spot for hours and never find yourself bored since something was always bound to happen. As she was making her way back past the ice cream shop again, her eyes fell upon a girl that looked her age putting down what looked like a ton of supplies. Needless to say, the girl looked exhausted and it didn't seem like anyone was around to help her. Had she really carried all of that herself? That was pretty amazing.

Without a second thought, Lorelei walked forward and stood in front of the girl, "That looks like it weighs a ton. Do you have anyone to help you out with it? I'm Lorelei, by the way."

Papillon was rather startled when she was ran into. She looked at who did, confused, to see a boy who looked like he was eating jelly beans.
"Hey! Watch it!" the butterfly scowled, even though he wouldn't be able to hear him right now. Papillon simply ignored him for now.
"Je suis tellement désolé!* I didn't mean to run into you!" she apologized immediately. It honestly was an accident.

(* Je suis tellement désolé is french for I'm so sorry)

"Haha no, its okay. I should've been paying attention...", the girl had been the first to actually converse with him. He was making progress. "Nice broom. Wish I had enough to get it though. Don't know how I'd do, since I've never flown of course..."
"Ugh! Gross!", Drake had just bit into another Every Flavored Bean. "Vomit flavored".
He held out the box and offered her a bean.

Marionette looked up upon hearing a voice. The source of the voice was a girl around her age. She smiled before chuckling, coming down to a sit on the table. She was a little tired from having to lug it all around. "I came here alone, so I don't suppose I'd have anyone to help me with them." she said. "And yes, it does weight a lot more than I had expected. You'd think one would get used to such things, having carried tomes around the house plenty of times." she spoke, having to stop herself from rambling. Maybe she had overdone it, but at least she hadn't spilled everything all over the place. Her eyes looked back up at the girl, flashing another brilliant smile as she held out her hand. "Marionette. Pleasure to meet you, Lorelei." Her tone was welcoming and slightly friendly. Even if there was a tinge of fatigue. It had been a dreadful idea to have come alone. She had insisted though, saying she was old and strong enough to do all the shopping.

"Thank you for retrieving my cat." " I don't know what her problem is, and she's been difficult all day." "By the way, My name is Lily, Lillian Rose." looking up, she met his eyes head-on, not the least bit shy. "I see you have your school things...would u mind helping me finish?.. " "I have almost everything, and in turn, I'll help you with whatever else it is you might have left to find." at that, the cat jumped out of lily's arms, and sat beside her, only to stare at drake like he knew ALL his secrets...
