A New Harry Potter Roleplay
I was wondering...
I was wondering if we could have a new HP rp. All the others have 100+ posts and it'd be tough to just jump in. So, here's an independant one!!! Please join!

So... when do we set this?
(August 4, 2009 - 5:12 pm)
Let's start with saying goodbye and getting onto the train. If we do the goodbyes, it gives us a tiny bit more info on their families. I suppose I could start it, if no one else wants to...?

The year after DH, I believe. Right?
(August 5, 2009 - 11:58 am)
Yep.

We're losing the thread! I can't write right now.

((Yes, I know I'm in an AU. I didn't vote for it, though. Actually I didn't vote at all, but I was on vacation, so...
Will someone please start? As I said, I'm horrible at beginnings, so I can't.))

((I'll try. It might be short.))
Lily hugged her parents and baby sister goodbye. It was especially hard to say goodbye to Violet, because she would be almost one year old by the time Lily came back for Christmas break.
"Don't forget your cat, Lily dear," said her mother, as Silver tried to escape.
"Thanks Mum, I've got him now. You naughty boy," she whispered to him.
"You'd probably better get on now, Lily," her dad told her. "It's nearly eleven."
"Bye Mum, Dad! Bye, Violet! Try not to get too big while I'm gone!" Lily called, as she hitched Silver up higher under her arm and went to find a compartment with her best friend,____. Hard as it was to leave her family behind, she was greatly looking forward to the new school year. She wondered what this year's surprise would be.
((Yes, that was horrible. Does anyone want to be her best friend?))

((Could Linda?))
Linda said goodbye to her parents quickly and following her friends, ran into an emty compartment. Finnally, Hogwarts, she thought, and a Hogwarts that has not been taken by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

//Corvus//
Ordinarily Corvus would've been looking forward to the start of school. Now, however, what with the massive overhaul of the system... and the death of the Dark Lord... well...
He scowled as he slid through the barrier onto the train station. In all likelihood there would be a crackdown on anyone who happened to believe in the value of pureblood, and the general worthiness of the Dark Lord's cause. Former cause, Corvus reminded himself with a grimace.
This year was going to be no fun at all, especially if the glares he was getting from pretty much all his non-Slytherin classmates were anything to judge by.

Okay then....
Finally, thoguht Bella as she hugged her mum, a halfblood and her dad, a pureblood goodybye. A normal... er somewhat normal year at Hogwarts. She slid into a compartment with her best friends Luna Lovegood, who was currently wearing a necklace of raisins and matching beet earings to ward of nargles, and Ginny (if that's okay.) She pet her cat, Bonnigton, and listened to her purr, very relaxed until Draco Malfloy opened the door.....
Well, it's a start.
(August 8, 2009 - 11:30 pm)
((Draco! <3))
//Draco//
The three girls glared silently at Draco as he slid open the compartment door. "Oh..." he mumbled, stepping back hastily. "Sorry..."
He pulled the door shut again with a sigh. Why he'd thought it would be a good idea to come back... Unconsciously he rubbed at the now-clean spot on his left arm where the Dark Mark had once burned. That was something, at least; the unsightly mark had vanished when the Dark Lord was defeated.
Draco sighed heavily and continued down the train, hoping to find an empty compartment. Why he'd felt the need to run and join the Dark Lord... He was a celebrity, of sorts, amongst the like-minded Slytherins; to everyone else his name was, well, mud. Or something much nastier than mud, probably. It was exhausting, trying to keep up.
He found another compartment with only one occupant, and went in. She looked up as he entered- a fifth year or so, from the look of her- and smiled a little nervously.
"Er..." the worst part of it all, Draco decided, was the sudden awkwardness of every conversation. "D'you mind if I sit...?"
"No," she said, "not at all. You're Draco Malfoy, right?"
"Yeah," Draco said quietly, sinking into a seat. "I, uh, don't know you...?"
"Astoria," she replied. "Greengrass. My sister's in your year... Daphne?"
Draco shrugged. "I know her... vaguely..."
"Yeah." They sat in silence for a while, awkwardly. Draco shifted uncomfortably.
"So, uh, excited for school?" he asked eventually.
Astoria shrugged. "Oh, I dunno. On the one hand it'll be nice not to have the, um, weirdness from having Death Eaters run the place... on the other I've got my OWLs this year."
"And I've got NEWTs..." Draco agreed.
"Um, if you don't mind my asking..." Astoria hesitated. "You, uh, don't seem like the... Death Eater type?"
"Well, I used to be a cocky little brat," he said bluntly. "But... well... you join up and it's like, go kill someone or I'll kill you or whatever, and..." his voice cracked and he flinched inwardly. "Sorry," he muttered. "It's just..."
"Yeah." Astoria glanced at him sympathetically. "Must be hard, too, trying to live it down..."
Draco nodded fervently as the train whistle blew.
((Wheeeeeee!))

Somebody should probabaly be Luna Lovegood. I don't want to be her, because I'm supposed to be her best friend. :D
(August 9, 2009 - 7:00 pm)
Sure, Linda could be Lily's friend, but then it would be nice if she was a fourth year instead of a fifth.
(August 9, 2009 - 9:02 pm)
Linda was staring out the window when her brother opened the door."Y'all right there, Lin'?"
"Get out of here," she growled. All five of her brothers were You-Know-Who supporters, and she didn't want her friends to find out. She rose from her seat pulled her brother several compartments along."Please don't talk to me in front of my friends,"she begged.
"All right Lin' but why?''
Linda paid no attention and opened the door to what she thought was her compartment. She quickly learned it wasn't, though, because a girl she didn't recognise and Draco Malfoy were looking right at her.
