RPG: Dark Times [Suspended]

[GodrictheGriffon]

Sirius had never liked traveling by floo-powder. All of the spinning made her feel sick. But Cedric loved it. He spun round and round, cawing happily until they came to an abrupt stop in the Darker's kitchen.

Alaina did not like the floo powder. She felt so sick. And the ash got in her eyes. She wished she had asked Celistine for advice on traveling by floo powder before she left.

Alaina landed in the Darker's kitchen. Wow, a real wizard kitchen! She was so excited! "Celistine, show us around! I want to see everything, especially the magical stuff!"

[GodrictheGriffon]

"You told me that you had a magical can-opener! Do you really? Can I see it? Did you know that the can-opener was invented 20 years before the can ever was?" Sirius blurted out. Then she began to look around the kitchen as though she might see one there.

The sound of footsteps distracted Raylene's thoughts, and with a hiss she lost the image in the sphere. A quick look at her clock showed it was 8 in the morning.
A ten hour session…I’ll regret that tonight.
With a heavy sigh, Raylene replaced the crystal on its chain and put it back around her neck before placing her head wearily into her hands- her eyes closed, her mind running through everything she had seen.

As usual most of it was stuff about paperwork, petty household accidents, the odd stalking Death Eater who is promptly disposed of. But there was one recurring scene that stuck in her mind’s eye, and it seemed to involve- amongst others- the two boys she had seen in Diagon Alley earlier.

She carefully turned the scene over and replayed it several times, refusing to accept what it hinted at. But nothing changed. After half an hour of futile resistance, Raylene sat back and opened her eyes- an inexplicable chill settling around her heart. Before she could stop herself, she had thrown on a travelling cloak and turned to head for the Atrium- and for the fireplaces, and for Diagon Alley.

Celistine smiled as she saw her friends marvel at the magical stuff in her house. "Come on," she said, beckoning them towards the circular staircase in the corner, "I'll show you my room. But try not to touch the ceiling." "Why?" Alaina asked, a hint of suspiction in her voice. "You don't want to know." Celistine replied.

[DucksRMagical]

Alaina was very curious about Celistine's room. She'd never seen a wizarding bedroom before! She was sure it was a lot more exciting than her own bedroom. Plus, that ceiling intrigued her.

Alaina quickly ran after Celistine and followed her and Sirius up the circular staircase.

Now that Edward had his vial of deadly potion, he knew exactly what he needed to do with it. He knew exactly where it needed to go.

A woman had been following him. An auror, probably. She must be taken care of.

He clenched the bottle tightly in his grasp, ate a quick meal, and found his broomstick.

He leapt out the window - he would fly to the Ministry of Magic.

No.

No, of course he wouldn't. That would be foolish. He dropped down to the fresh grass and put his broom away. There were easier methods of travel. It would still not do to expose magic to muggle-kind - there was no excuse for that.
Slowly but surely, he got closer and closer...

[GodrictheGriffon]

Sirius couldn't help herself. She touched the ceiling.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

"You git!" Celistine screamed. "You touched the ceiling when I told you not to!" At that precise moment the tower began to rise. Celistine quickly muttered an incatation, and the tower shrunk, and everthing went back to normal, except for the fact that godric now was hanging by her ankles from a rope. "I told you not to." Celistine said simply. I can't let that happen again. Celistine thought. They can't know. They can't find out, they just can't. If they do, they'll surely turn against me because of something I can't control or do anything about. She then reasured herself. You didn't choose to be it, you were chosen, there's nothing you can do. Just don't let them find out.

[DucksRMagical]

"That was so cool!!! Celistine, I love your room!" Alaina exclaimed.

"Ooo, what's this?" Alaina asked as she picked up a spherical orb with little penguins floating around inside.

[FawkesthePhoenix]

"Oh, that's crystal orb that I attempt to tell the future with." Celistine said, ignoring Sirius, who was trying to untie herself. They all spent the next half hour in Celistine's room, Alaina asking questions, Celistine answering them, and Sirius trying fruitlessly to get herself down.

[DucksRMagical]

"I officially love your room! You have the coolest magical stuff," Alaina told her friend. "So, can we see the rest of the house?"

[FawkesthePhoenix]

"Sure, but remember not to touch anything unless I approve. A lot worse than getting hung up could happen if you do." Celistine replied, turning to look at Sirius, who still was unable to get down.

Meanwhile, Fred was recommending all sorts of joke items to Alphonse while George did the demonstrations.

[GodrictheGriffon]

"Relax. I like it up here."Sirius said as she began to swing.
