...Oh. Yes, of course. I did not think of that...

[And boy, does he look embarrassed.]

Thank you, Professor. Do you have any experience with the rats?

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[He ruffles his hair.]} You aren't gonna tell on me though, are you?

If that happens you just say 'my bad' and you don't worry about it. Mr. Ollivander will help you find the perfect wand for you, so don't worry, kiddo.

[camebackhome]

[Lack of social skills bros?]

Oh. I don't know much, either. Dean doesn't answer all of my questions about the theories of magic.

[Shrug!]

So...Do you have family at Hogwarts, or is your whole family Muggles?

[jeet]

I am considering it... I am not certain if it is the best choice. Do you have a pet?

[ladyliberty]

[Amelia passes Rapunzel by on the street and-- gosh, she always forgets how pretty Rapunzel is over the summer-- and gives an enthusiastic wave.]

Punzie, hi!

[luxextenebris]

Anything for a friend.

[gemuetlichkeit]

He has no self control.

_{[Oh. He wasn't expecting company. THIS IS KIND OF NICE? MAYBE?]}

Ah... _{[Time to examine his list] I need to buy more ink. Have you completed your shopping already?}

[fuckmackandme]

[Woah there. He doesn't remember her being this... Really, really pretty up close.]

I'm good. I was going to get a new broom.

[cheldorado]

Pretty spooky place, huh, kid?

[She noticed, yeah. She's very much smirking about things, though.]

[arachnoble]

Not many do. But, if your rat is smart enough it'll know where to hide.

[She offers him a smile, shrugging her shoulders.]

I have more experience with owls and spiders, personally.

[fuckilovebooks]

Do you need help looking for something? I can probably help you find it, if the shopkeeper is too busy.

[theredbat]

I can't say. Hogwarts is a bit more...organized.

[Could she be more obviously Muggle born? She keeps glancing around, staring at everything.]

I don't think I'll ever get used to magic.

[givesyouaboner]

I don't know. I lost him and Dave in the crowd.

_{[There's a moment of hesitation.]}

Can I stay with you for now?

[cheldorado]

Hey! [Chel waves and rushes over.] Look at you, Miss Americana!

[syned_a_brik]

Oh! Dat sounds interestink! Iz test of stamina. Very niz. Mebbe ve ken try it sometime at school, yah?

[adust]

Shopping for a new broom? [he, personally, is eyeing the new shooting star!!]

[luxextenebris]

Maybe! I'll see if I can fit my ball and bat into my suitcase and bring them to school.

Assuming pureblood family connections ie everyone knows everyone?

[tomatatas]

[They had been relatively lucky in the war. the boys too young to be really recruited, as was her sister and Chiara herself was simply too stubborn and too much of a brat to go along with anything she didn't want to. Hiding may have been a cowards way, but it's a way they chose.

Others hadn't been so lucky, she remembered, once she saw Antonio. Momentarily giving up on her chase for her younger siblings, she picked her way through the crowd, stopping next to the Spaniard. She doesn't touch him, knowing how shaky his nerves must be, but she does manage a polite smile, ignoring the frowns she herself gets for coming over.] Signor Fernández? It's been awhile, hasn't it?

[remembertheroses]

[Ib is slightly hesitant; she normally doesn't show people her work. But the girl is the subject matter, and she deserves the right to see how she looks in the picture.

Ib pulls out the notepad and hands it over, looking anxious.]

Is it ok?

[It's a crayon drawing of Rapunzel! It's quite good for an 11 year old's effort on a crowded street without much space to draw.]

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, that's exciting! What model are you thinking about?

[gemuetlichkeit]

You're welcome.

_{[Her question kind of surprises him, but he nods.]}

Yes. I'm from Berlin. What about you?

_{[He doesn't want to assume; deciphering accents in English is hit or miss for him anyway, since it's not his native language.]}

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I bet it'll happen.

[Not that she'd know.]

I mean, magic can do so much, right?

[luxextenebris]

[Axel! Roxas stops the happy expression from becoming too happy before nodding, fingering the orange money pouch in his hand.]

My old Comet's had it. I'm surprised I lasted through any games last year.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[Oh, if that doesn't warm her heart...]

Very okay, yes.

I'm Rapunzel, by the way.

[theredbat]

Probably why I'll never get used to it.

[She laughs, shaking her head. She was so off her groove.]
