We're off to see the wizard;;

[Rose Weasley]

The bricks began to move apart and revealed the streets. Her hair waved backwards in the wind and she coughed into her fist as dust was swept up into her face. "Not exactly what I wanted, but oh well..." The girl looked back to see a more taller, aged woman rushing after her. "Sorry mother..." She smiled up at her mother, who just shook her head.

"Okay Okay...Well I think I have everything, uhm..." Rose checked her pocket, her wand was in it. She looked up at her mother, who patted the small beaded bag. "Thanks, So you have everything I need for Hogwarts in there?" Rose looked around, it was quite early in the day and not many people were around. "So, I can't do underage magic....until I'm seventeen? That is quite hard.." Rose smiled and went to draw her wand, but figured she would get in too much trouble for a simple spell.

"Alright...All I have to do now is make my way to Platform Nine and Three Quarters....But where's James and Albus? Won't they wanna come too? Or....see me off?" She looked around, seeing no young boys running after her and her mother. Where are they? I hope they're not in much trouble.....And where the heck is daddy...

[Rena 'Hitomi' Holmes]

Rena had very little time to finish preparing for sixth year. Earlier, she had bought all the texts she needed (aside from the new Defense Against the Dark Arts texts. Not that she had any clue how 'Martial Lessons For Defensive Magic' was exactly... DADA related... but the other random book more than made up for it...), purchased a new cauldron (her's had broke the month before while she was helping her mother brew up a potion of some sort), and managed to purchase more parchment and some quill ink before Bianca dragged her over to look at something incredibly... well, nerdy was the only way she had to look at it. That girl was so excited about school sometimes, and she did not understand why...

Sure, school was great, but Rena was not so excited that she had to look at the Easy-Erase Quill Ink, or the quills that made writing much less painful after a long essay...

All she had to purchase now was a small item for herself. Nothing much... Chocolate Frogs did not eat themselves though, and she was looking forward to finally seeing a holographic Harry Potter card this time, waving up at her in a congratulatory greeting.

She slid into the candy store without much notice, managing to purchase five Chocolate Frogs, before she quickly left the store. If she was gone for too long, Bianca would have suspected that her friend, as quiet as she usually was, had probably disappeared to go ogle Quidditch equipment or something equally as not Bianca friendly, and Rena did not want that.

She stopped short of bumping into the small, brown haired girl, and stared for a few moments.

"Ah, sorry," she said apologetically, "I was in a small rush and must have forgotten to look while I walked... how silly of me..."

[Rose Weasley]

The thoughts kept flooding her mind, if her brothers and father were in trouble. What if the deadly Death Eaters had risen once more and had captured her family? No...That couldn't happen [Unless they used some sort of spell to make them do all her homework, then she'd be fine with it].

She then noticed a taller girl bump into her. "Oh, Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going, totally my fault" Rose smiled and held her hand out. "I'm Rose, Rose Weasley" She introduced herself, and lookd around to kids with there parents. Why weren't any of them in their school robes? Of course Rose was prepard and already had hers on. Perhaps not all of them were as intelligent as she was? Maybe she was just too intelligent, or classed as a "nerd". No! I'm not that smart......am I?..I can be stupid.....

Rose looked around and screamed inside. Why was life so hard? She then looked up at her mother, then behind to see the walls of Diagon Alley shift, her brothers and father walking in. "Your late!!" Rose shouted to them, in which they just smiled innocently. "Hmph, where's Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny? Aren't Albus and that coming?" Rose asked her father, but then turned away to look at the girl once more.

[Rena 'Hitomi' Holmes]

Rena stared at the girl a few moments. Clearly they had met before, what with being in the same house and all. The other Gryffindors tended to make a big deal of the Weasley children in general, as if they were going to be bigger than their parents simply because they were the offspring of said legendary wizards and witches.

Not that Rena doubted they could be greater, it just took a little more effort than 'being born,' as she was taught many years ago.

"Rena... we're in the same house... I think I've seen you around the common room and everything."

She would have shaken the girl's hand, but her own two were full of Chocolate Frogs. Of course, she had just come from that general direction, where this girl's uncle was selling them, ranting and raving about how they had an extra bounce or two. It was not, however, the chocolate Rena was all concerned about.

It was the card inside.

She nodded politely at the three newcomers, and smiled.

"It's nice to meet you Rose... If you want a recommendation from a sixth year and fellow Gryffindor, I would wait to put your school robes on until maybe about ten minutes before we get to Hogwarts. Don't want them to get all dirty and smelly before you get off the train, now do you?"

The smile kept on her face.

"Trick I learned after my first year... Slytherins can be a nasty sort, especially the boys."

[Rose Weasley]

Rose also rubbed her chin in thought. Had she seen this girl around before? Yes...Yes, she knew she had! Although her name was unknown to Rose, she smiled gently.

"Your in Gryffindor too? That's spectacular, I think I have seen you around as well." Rose then looked down to her hands to see them full with chocolate frogs.

"So, who are you trying to collect?" She asked, smiling still. She then heard the girl talking about not putting her robes on this early. She then growled under her breath. "Yes...Slytherin can be a nasty sort, especially Scorpius Malfoy. Boy, I hope I learn a spell to put on him some day....I wish I could get him back for what he did last year." Rose looked to her fists clench then laughed. "That requires reading...the first place I'll be off to is the Library!"

Yes, Scorpius Malfoy had been the pain in her backside since day one. At first, Rose thought he was alright, but then he gained a reputation. To her, he was just a jerk. Of course, some of her previous pranks on him had failed, and all of his on her suceeded. Maybe this year, she could ask her uncles for a bit of help.

Rose began to giggle to herself, whilst scheming against Scorpius before school evan began. She then forgot about the whole robes thing and slid hers off, pushing them into her trunk. "So..Your in your sixth year? that must be fun."

[Bianca Kendrick]

((OOC: Since I have time to post and Cassie is busy, I'm gonna have Bianca butt in! Hope you don't mind. ^_^))

IC:

It had taken Bianca about ten minutes (entirely too long) to realize that Rena was nowhere to be found. They had been exploring the quill and parchment shop, where Bianca had found some new inventory that she simply must have, but when she turned around, her friend had vanished.

The first place she thought to look was, obviously, the Quidditch supply store. Rena was entirely too obsessed with the sport (as if Bianca could talk about obsession...) and always seemed to be going on about it. So it made sense that she would have wandered in that direction.

But she wasn't there.

Puzzled for a short moment, she decided to check Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, bedecked with the statues of the owners wearing bright orange (and might I add hideous) suits. Bianca didn't entirely understand all the rage about them, but she wasn't there to buy anything. She was there to find her friend.

Again, no luck.

As she exited the building, she meandered aimlessly down the cobblestone street, peering in the shop windows for any sign of Rena. She didn't need to look very far, however, before she spotted her, arms full of chocolate frogs, talking to a younger girl. As Bianca stepped closer, she recognized the girl as Rose Weasley, a fellow Gryffindor that was in... her second year? Bianca wasn't sure.

"Hello, Rose, how are you?" she greeted her when she reached them, her arms laden with her bags and bags of school supplies, not all of which had been necessary. How many types of ink did a person really need? But Bianca color-coded her notes, so it was imperative that she have as many different colors as she could possibly find.

Turning to Rena, she added, "You ditched me for chocolate frogs? How rude."

[Rena 'Hitomi' Holmes]

Library. Rena almost stopped her eye from twitching. How many of Gryffindor's ranks were super-smart nerds? Not that she minded all <i>that</i> much; Bianca would be seeing much less of her if she had, but the point stood. Not everything in Hogwarts was about librarys and studying. There was a good lot of practical magic involved, as well as Rena's favorite thing; Quidditch.

That was far from the point, however, seeing as this girl in front of her seemed to have plans for one of the Slytherin boys. Rena's plan was to, of course, dodge the bullet once more from the one that had been attempting to hit on her on and off since first year, but it usually failed when her mother decided it was time to go spend time with 'Uncle Drake.'

Whatever.

"A few actually," Rena replied, "Trying to round off my Second Wizarding War collection before they come up with a new expansion of Post Second War Wizards and Witches, or I'll never catch up."

She was about to go on into the finer details of Chocolate Frogs (it seemed like the girl was at least moderately interested), when Bianca appeared, starting in on conversation. Rena sighed.

"Bianca, I told you where I was going. It's not my fault you needed magenta colored ink to go with your fifty quills. Besides, I give you the frogs to eat. It's not like it was all for me."

She smiled weakly at Rose.

"Dunno if you've met Bianca yet, but we're best friends... she's Prefect, I'm sure you've met her at some point..."

[Rose Weasley]

( Late and short reply '' )

Rose looked across to Bianca and smiled. "I'm good, and....y-yourself?" She was fiddling with the jumper she had on. She couldn't remember who bought it but she absolutely hated it, why did it have to be a girly color, pink? Anything but pink would be fine for her. Rose then turned to look at Rena. "Second Wizarding War.....Didn't that um...happen at Hogwarts? I mean where...." Rose shuddered.

Yes, she may have been classed as a bookworm, but she didn't really read up on many Wizarding Wars, she especially hated the Second one, due to the fact that her uncle and many others (whom she hasn't even got to know, but has only been told of) had died in it. She then looked at Biance and raised an eyebrow, yes - she had seen her around. "Oh yes, I think I have, Prefect? Mmhm.." Rose started to get lost in thought from that point. Prefect...Yes, her mother did want her to try and become one, but Rose already had it all sorted...well at least she thought she did.

Rose then checked her watch, checking the time - they had enough time to go wherever they wanted and still be in time for the train, unless her watch was broken. She sighed and then looked up to the two girls. "Um..What time do we have to be on the train for?" She asked them, still tapping her watch in annoyance. Why isn't there a spell to tell you the time...So much easier. She started to laugh, but coughed and silenced herself.
