oOkay... here is my character thingey

Name: Emily

best subject: transfiguration

discription: long, strait red-blonde hair, freckles, normal hight, slim but not skinney

So I have a question: what year are the mauraders (and Lily and Snape) in?

((Right, so, let's get this thing started shall we?

As per usual, I'm assuming we're starting on the train...))

*

Titus shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked. He was rather early, so the platform had not yet started to fill up and he had managed to get his trunk into a compartment without running over any toes. On the flip side, he had a half hour to kill while he waited for the train to depart.

A few other students had trickled in, too, though most people, Titus knew, would show up within ten minutes of the train's departure and then wonder why they couldn't find an empty compartment.

He saw Severus Snape arrive, with Lily Evans as usual, and waved. They weren't really friends, exactly, but it would be nice to have someone to chat with.

Severus gave him a curt nod, but Lily smiled a little and waved back. Neither of them made any indication that they were coming nearer, so Titus sighed and shoved his hand back in his pockets. He continued to pace, glancing at the archway that led out into the Muggle world in case any of his friends came through. It was unlikely, he had to admit; the only habitually punctual friend he had had been transferred to Beuaxbatons this year, because her parents thought it would provide her with a more rounded education. As far as Titus could see, all April would learn there that she wouldn't have learned at Hogwarts was how to speak French. Ah, well.

For lack of anything better to do, Titus went back to the train and changed into his robes, slipping his wand into the pocket he'd hand-sewn into the inside sleeve this summer. It had taken him thirty minutes, and he'd pricked himself precisely seventy-three times. Titus was rather proud of it, even if it was a little lumpy and odd looking.

When he returned to the platform, it had gotten a good deal more crowded. Titus glanced up at the clock on the wall; fifteen minutes to go. 

Would anyone mind if i tried my hand at a role-play? i've never done one before, please tell me if i am doing anything wrong...

Character:Raelyn Nordsky

House: Gryffindor. (though all of her family has been and is in Ravenclaw)

Year: 5th

Favorite Class: Defense against the Dark Arts

Appearance: dark Mousy Brown mid-back hair, slightly wavy. Hazel eyes. Taller then girls her age, but not so tall to be 'really tall'. has much muscle, and rather slim.

Personality: (this may change, you never can tell a personality at the beginning) Quiet and usually keeps to herself. Has a bad temper when annoyed, and is not a very popular student. She is known for hexing people when angered, but can be very gentle. Has a hard shell and soft interior. Has bad mood swings and is often unpredictable.

May i start now?

Raelyn Nordsky lay face up on a wooden bench. The sign Platform 9 3/4 hung dully above her. It seemed to be in a bad state that sign. It was the only one in the station that was in need of a good repairing charm, or at minimum a wash. The sign looked rather dejected, hanging there at the end of the platform, as if everyone walked by but didn't bother to look up and think 'What a nice sign, it does a very good job at telling me were i am'. no, it just hung there waiting to be noticed.

Raelyn turned her head sideways looking down the platform, the large clock read 15 to the hour. Finally people were just arriving. Some already had hogwarts robes on, many were just in muggle clothing. Terrified and excited looking first years hovered around there parents, waiting to be told what to do. She recognized a handful of kids. Some of which were kin to her. She saw Lilly Evens straight off, laughingly happy eyes, a smile that could light a room. Raelyn felt a smile tugging at her lips as she remembered when Lilly had tried to make conversation with her. It was nice of her to attempt to make discussion of the potions essay, but two of her other Gryfinndor friends had quickly drawn her away. Whispering about a rumor that Raelyn had hexed a Hufflepuff boy for bumping into her. This was, of couse, not true. He had tripped her, then tried to make her apologize for scuffing his shoe. Thats when Raelyn hexed him.

The train whistle sounded, declaring 10 minutes until the start of the journey. Raelyn wasn't quite sure if she was looking forward to this year. She decided that she would figure that out after a week was up. Raelyn was almost not able to come back this year. In fact some teachers asked her not to. She didn't get along well with anyone, and had gone to enough detentions by her 5th year to last 7 years of school. The only good thing about this was that she had met Sirius Black. They weren't what you would call friends, but she knew he was probably the only person in the school who wouldn't rat on her for somthing she didn't do.

Sitting up Raelyn decided to head onto the train. She grabbed her owl, Barnaby, and headed towards the shining red engine.

*******

I'm awfully afraid this is to long, sorry if it is.... Please let me know if i am writing this role-play correctly.

((Ok, I'm actually going to make Orda 5th year instead of 3rd))

~~~~~~~~~

Orda walked through the solid wall between platforms 9 and 10, her small black cat, Nightfall, trotting beside her. She looked at the clock, 15 minutes 'til 11. She boarded the train, Nightfall in front. Wandering through the aisles, she saw her fellow Slytherin, Titus. "Hello," Orda said, sliding open the door,  "is it ok if I sit here?"

Raelyn wandered slowly down the corridor. The train hadn’t begun to moveyet, but people outside were hurrying to get on. Compartments were filling upquickly and Raelyn was desperate to find one that didn’t have any of her 5siblings in it, and preferably one that didn’t hold any of her enemies, whichwere many. She noticed Lily Evens up ahead; she was being pulled out of acompartment by her friend Rolonda. Raelyn headed towards them, Lily was decentenough to sit with. Rolonda’s head snapped up when she noticed Raelyn comingtowards them, she told Lily something, then hurried off in the other direction.
Lily had disappeared backinto the compartment and Raelyn grabbed the door. It was slightly sticky, as ifit recently had gum on it, and whoever cleaned it did a bad job. She slid thedoor open and the red seats and shinning trunk racks greeted her. Also twofaces turned as she stepped into the compartment. Raelyn didn’t say anythingbut sat down on the seat on Lily’s side. She glanced carefully at the otherfigure in the small room. Raelyn wasn’t quite sure who it was, names whizzed thoughher mind and finally settled on Snape. Severus Snape, a Slytherin boy in his 5thyear. He had a rather long hawk-like nose, and greasy black hair. He frowned ather when she sat down.
“Don’t you know it’s rudenot to ask to sit?” he sneered.
Raelyn stayed quiet, she knewthat if she said anything it would make her more frustrated, then angry andthen dangerous. She bit her lower lip and sent Snape a glare that shut him up,though it didn’t stop Evens from talking.
“Are you glad to be comingback to Hogworts?” she asked Raelyn pleasantly.
“To early to say” Raelynreplied.
