The blush that heated Natalie's face made him smile kindly. She was nice, all three of them were.
"I love it! I had never thought of it as an option for work, though, before my trip to Romania where I first encountered them."
Following Natalie's eyes, he noticed what she had noticed; that they were standing in a clump near the middle of all the walking. He smirked and looked back to the trio, "Better get those robes, hmmm? Mind if I tag along? I helped my cousin fit her first robes last year."

Lynn smiled wider. Oh he's sensitive too. He helped his little girl cousin get robes! She thought then nodded. "Of course. Help is always appreciated. Maybe we can find the rest of my family while we are at it." Lynn added taking Jeffery's hand and walking in the direction of Twilfitt and Tatting's. Just thinking of the store brought back founds memories of buying her first robes. "So, Thomas I must know more about this cousin of yours. Maybe Jeffery can find her sometime." Lynn smiled.

Thomas smiled as he slowly began to follow after Lyn and Jeffery. He looked down at the young boy with an inquisitive smile, hoping he did not mind if he was tagging along. It was the boy's fitting after all, it seemed like his call.
"She began her first year last year, actually. I hear she got sorted into Hufflepuff, which came as a surprise to me, she seemed a bit more of a Ravenclaw. I am quite fond of her." He paused, trying to see if there was much he could really say. He loved Jane very much and had been so excited to hear when it was first discovered she was a witch. As a result, he had often visited and spent time with her - showing her spells and books and many other things. It had been him that had escorted her to Diagon ALley for all her supply shopping.
"She may actually be staying with me for some time this summer!"

The hisses in my ear:
Ten years....really?
What writhes within me: Nostalgic, a bit lost in my mind

Those entwined with me: Istal, Etheris, and Daisy


A soft smile crossed the pale face of the platnum blonde as he and Daisy arrived on the busy street. Diagon Alley was a fond place in his heart, after all he and Daisy spent many a days playing here back when they were younger. Innocent days spent roaming the cobblestone streets, darting in and out of crowds as people hollered to know where their parents were. Ten years....it had been ten years since Charon last heard his father's voice. Ten years since his mother, step really, had held him close. Ten years since his family was together. But that had all been stolen from the oldest Gaunt. From them both really.

Daisy was both blessed and cursed at being so young when the murders happened. She didn't have the trauma of the events in her mind but he knew she spent long nights looking at the photo albums he had managed to save. What was going through the small girl's mind during those times? Did she mourn for the family she never knew? Or did she cry for the life she'll never have? Either or it broke his heart every time he thought about it. Reaching out he pulled her into a hug and smiled softly. Now wasn't the time for this. No need to get all melancholy on a bright summer's day.


"Alright so we can go to get food or if you want go book shopping early. Maybe we'll go get you a new dress. What do you think? Were to first, princess?" Charon asked smiling at her. He always called her that when they were together. Their parents had called her that when she was little but Daisy didn't remember that. The boy couldn't help but continue what their parents already did. It was a way he helped bring a piece of them back to her. The golden haired girl hummed a little as she looked around, her blue eyes sparkling with the thought of what they could do.


We both have our secrets
some darker then others.
I can handle the demons in my head...
as long as you are there to hold me when I wake

Cade Sackville
Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau

Crack! Cade Sackville appeared just beyond the brick wall that often served as a quiet entrance to the bustling Diagon Alley. A quick glance, Cade could see that it was as crowded as usual and sighed. The amount of activity and people here always made Cade feel uneasy, but he knew this place was safer than most. Instead of stepping into the throng, though, Cade pulled his wand out of his jacket pocket and tapped one of the bricks, on his right, sharply. Suddenly, the bricks started to move apart, creating room enough for the passage of three, and Cade stepped over to the other side. As he moved into the Leaky Cauldron from the back entrance, he could hear the brick wall closing back up behind him.

________________________________________________

The bustling crowd of Diagon Alley overwhelmed the young Hufflepuff trying to fight his way through. Lennox could feel his mother’s iron like grip on his arm but could not see the site of her. The magical packed community no longer overwhelmed him having visited the enchanted alley numerous times but his muggle parents were always quite astounded whenever they were there buy their son’s school things. Especially his father. He could feel his eyes rolling at the thought, causing his head to feel a slight light-headedness. Frankly, it was quite nice to see his father’s mouth shut up for once when they first walked into the street. The disbelief in all things magical had just gone down the drain. Him and his science. Bah. Well he liked science as well. But he didn’t carry that obnoxious attitude his father did. At least, he hoped he didn’t.

Lennox felt the pressure on his hand cease and turned a quick head back. It worried him to know that his parents were somewhere along the crowd in a place that was so unfamiliar to them. What if some boozer was scamming them right now to buy grounded unicorn horn for a galleon an ounce? That would waste all the money he saved up during the year. Oh no. No knocked up geezer is going to take his hard earned money to use for his next drinking round. That money is supposed to go into his broom funds. And he wasn’t going to have anything missing.

Going against the flow of traffic huddling themselves into the nearest shop, the Hufflepuff searched high and low through the crowd. While his attention was momentarily wavered by the sounds of owls screeching in the Emporium, it would not falter him. Parents first. Birds later. His parents had his money as it was. Didn’t go on trusting him with his own money. It’s not like he was going to be abuse that spending power and buy himself the fanciest cauldron he could find. There wasn’t that much funds to begin with. Who was he kidding? His folks paid for all the school supplies, that small sum of money that his parents were holding was his own to spend on things not necessarily for school.

After sum number of minutes, boy was finally reunited with gold. And his parents. They had been entertaining themselves by looking at some broomsticks outside some second hand shop. Telling him to get his broomstick here while they were still cheap. In fact, the pair hardly recognized their own son for he was dressed in wizarding robes. Short mind you for he grew quite a bit as the year progressed. The first thing they would have to do was get fitted for robes. That is, if they didn’t spend all their time getting lost.

But something in him, decided that it wasn't quite time to go one a shopping spree just yet. The thought caused an ill grimace on his face. He was not sexist at the best of times. However, he's a guy. It's in his blood. Or at least his father droned it into him. His new glasses sunk low on his face and quick habit put it back in place. The glasses was a new addition to his features. Something of a trial and error. Lennox was hoping to get contacts. You know, those muggle contraptions that helped folks to see without needing glasses. His parents wouldn't have any of it though. What if he swallowed it? What if he stepped on it? No, his responsibility was just beginning to show and they weren't going to waste money on something that could probably be fixed by some wizard doctor. Or at least that's what they thought.

So the family continued to roam around the streets in wanderless aims, Lennox squeezing tightly on to his sister's hands whom was resting on his mother's shoulders. He would keep this going along until either his father lost his patience (which was dwindling down at an alarming rate) or till one of the Galvani member's stomach called for a meal.

For the duration of their venture from Knockturn Alley into Diagon Alley, a silence had stolen over the stressed ambiance that clung to the two boys now nearing their second year of Hogwarts. Tay couldn't be sure if the silence was due in part by the cruel and sinister ghouls that haunted the shadows of the seamy underbelly on this side of London, or if it in fact was because of his poor choice of words.

Whatever the case may be, he didn't let Woil tread the dangerous path alone. Those ill-hearted silhouettes knew Tay well enough, but not Woil so much that they would stay away. He only hoped that Yia had passed through unnoticed and as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, Tay was forced to shield his eyes with his hands will pools of gold washed Diagon Alley east to west. "Any idea where he might'a gone?" Tay asked again now that he was sure Woil could hear him.

Woil didn't respond right away, he instead focused on everyone closely, his brother loved to change his form, especially when he could and this made him extremely hard to keep an eye on. He finally answered Tay, "It's hard to tell, my little brother is always doing something, he's not one to cause trouble, but he blends into the crowd so easily..." He said looking around, standing on his toes to look over the many witches and wizards who crowded this magical place. He sighed as he made his way down one of the streets, oh well, he would catch up with his brother soon enough. He realized he still had the hood on and took it off, not caring if anyone from school saw him or not.

"Yeah, I can only imagine how much fun the mate would have with that, pretty bloody cool though, I have to admit." Tay responded without missing a beat, he hadn't seemed to notice the pause, that or he didn't care. Well, to be honest, he found it quite impossible to manifest any sort of affection for anyone, or anything. There were times when he often reflected upon imaginary events, to see how he would react..

-and everytime he couldn't help but notice his reactions grew more callous, and apathetic as the years progressed on. It was no wonder why, the tragedy he experienced as a toddler. It was amazing he could even remember it, but the memories sat within him vigilantly. "Well, you said you had some shopping to do, didn't you? Maybe Yiaraw already went off that way to get it done?"

Woil smiled as he looked at Tay, that was exactly Wally's thoughts. He stopped as his smile grew bigger as he pointed at an exact copy of him close by, obviously it was Yiaraw, the only thing that was different is Woil had glasses and his little brother didn't. He moved over to Yia and put a hand on his shoulder, "Stop wandering off!" He said sticking his tongue out at his brother. Who just stuck the same tongue out at Woil and made his hair change to red and he turned back to normal. He looked at Tay with a raised eyebrow. "Why's he here!?" He asked, pouting and Woil bonked him on the head gently, "Be nice."

"What in merlin's, oh right," Tay breathed out in relief the moment the spark of realization had stunned him to realize that Yiaraw was a metamorphagus, and could easily have been Woil, or even himself. Shaking away the thought, Tay's eyes of beligerent gold befell the two as he watched the brotherly exchange with an almost somber smile.

He often wondered what it would have been like to have had a brother or sister, but his mother had died shortly after his birth and his father had never cared to remarry. Which was for the best, he supposed, and then once Yiaraw spoke he realized he didn't want a sibling afterall. "Because we're chums, that's why."

"Uh huuuh." His brother said halfheartedly as he simply shrugged and smiled at Tay, "You liked my little trick didn't you?" He asked sticking his tongue out as he turned his hair, skin, face, and eyes to look exactly like Tay. He had been able to do this since he was born and was very proud of it so he didn't really waste any time, it usually gave him pain to change his body but after using it so much he's gotten used to it.

His brother just sighed, laughed, and shook his head as his brother mimicked Tay. "Sorry about that Tay..." He said keeping that smile on his face as he stared at his brother. Woil always loved it when his brother joked around with his transformations.

Although Tay didn't find as much humor in this as Woil did, but he maintained a charming enough of a smile and had offered a light-hearted laugh despite himself. Somehow, Tay could trick himself when he acted like this. So, he shook his head with that smile still plastered on his features and rose his hand to slide it through unkempt auburn tresses. "Trick? Ha, if that's what you want to call it," Tay couldn't help but scoff.

A reassuring smile was then flown towards Woil as he shook his head, indicating that no harm had been done. "No, it's fine, but mate, you've got to prank everyone at school when you go to Hogwarts,

"It's be hilarious."
He encouraged Yiaraw with a laugh, afterall, he didn't want the opinion the young boy had of him to be a completely negative one. That just wouldn't do.

Woil just shook hhis head as his brother turned back to normal, only now he had orange hair and yellow eyes. He looked up at his brother and stuck his tongue out, it was a habit of his. Woil smiled and looked at Tay, he said something in another language to him, and when he saw Tay didn't understand he corrected himself, "Sorry, British isn't the language my family uses. I asked, do you have any shopping to do?" He said rubbing his messy, dirty blond hair, obviously embarrassed by using his family's language on the boy.

His brother smiled and spoke in the same language and Woil smacked him on the head, "Be nice!" He said rubbing his forehead, that's one thing about little brothers as young as Yia, their a handful.

"It's not like he would understand!" Yia said pouting. "That doesn't matter! It's still rude.

A curious gaze had befallen his rounded features, baby fat still clinging heavily to his bones as his eyes continued to fall the two for a spitfire round of interaction. Hardly any of which he understood, and he had to blink back the surprise from his face when Woil began to speak in English once again. "Oh. Well that's cool, I don't have any shopping to do, but what language was that?' Tay decidedly questioned.

When Yia spoke in that language, he inclined his head to direct the attention upon Woil's brother with another look of wonder. Finally, his eyes narrowed slightly when he realized that whatever had been said, hadn't been very nice. Still, he shrugged it off of his shoulders and then glanced around Diagon Alley truly for the first time. It wasn't crowded which had surprised him, and furthermore, no one had bothered them, either. He couldn't see any store he felt the need to go visit so with a casual glance sent towards Woil he shrugged again. "Where do you guys need to go?"
