((Closed for Wendi and Carr. Mostly both views will be in a single post posted by Wendi. ))

“Welcome to Casa de la McDuff!” Carr yelled as he opened the mansion door. “Wow.” Wendi said shortly with her jaw dropped as far as it could just. She spun around smiling brightly. “Oh my gosh!” She yelped. Carr could only laugh. “You didn’t tell me you lived in a palace.” Wendi said turning and smiling. Carr shrugged. “Not a palace. Just a home.” He said simply. “Nuh-uh. This is amazing.” Wendi said taking a few steps on the marble floor. The main greeting room was huge. It was red with white marble floors. Tons of paintings aligned the walls and sculptures were all around. “Wow. Obviously you weren’t the decorator.” She said laughing while leaning against a sculpture. Carr smiled. “Now do I seem like that kind of guy?” Wendi shook her head. “Nope.” She said smiling. “Carr! Carr!” Three triplet yelled screaming and running down the huge staircase. Carr smiled and ran up to them. “Hey guys!” He called. Just then, the three noticed Wendi. “Wendi!” they all called running to their friend. “Hey Nick, Tazz, Diem.” She said smiling at them all. “Home for good?” Tazz asked Carr shyly. “For the summer.” He explained. She nodded. “Where are Henri and Lori?” He asked. “You mean Henrietta and Lorraine?” Diem asked doing a girly like impression. “Huh?” Carr exclaimed. Nick rolled his eyes. “They’re ‘grown up now.’” He said using air quotes. “Follow me.” Tazz said walking to the hall. Carr shrugged as he looked at Wendi who just began to follow the triplets. Carr sighed and followed the four.

“Carr!” Henri said hugging her brother tightly. Lori smiled and waited for Henri to pull away and then hugged Carr. “You must be Wendi.” Lori said to Wendi as she moved away from Carr. She nodded. “The one and only.” She said smiling. “Finally someone our age at home.” Henri said rolling her eyes. “She’s two years older than you two dim whits.” He joked. Lori poked him in the head. “Hey where did the triplets go?” He asked looking around the stables, where the triplets had led them to. “Beats me.” Lori said walking over to one of the stalls. The three followed. “Wendi, do you ride?” She asked. “A little.” Wendi admitted. “Well, meet my baby, Janardan.” She said petting the horse’s black main. Wendi smiled. “Pretty.” She said petting him as well. “Henri, do you ride?” Wendi asked looking to Henri. “Henrietta, actually. And no.” She paused. “Lori and Tazz ride. Me and Diem ice skate.” She explained. Wendi nodded. “So what exactly is with this whole ‘Henrietta and Lorraine thing?” He asked walking over to another stall. “We’re grown up now. We needed grown up names.” Lori said simply. “Please.” Carr laughed. “You’re twelve.” He laughed. “Point not taken.” Wendi only smiled.

“So where’s Wendi staying?” Henri asked as she and Lori walked Wendi and Carr back into the house. “Dunno, the guest room next to mine maybe.” He said shrugging. Wendi nodded slightly. “So what exactly is going on with you two?” Lori asked budding in between Carr and Wendi as they walked. Wendi felt her cheeks blush. “Umm.” Wendi said figiding around a bit. “Uh-oh.” The twins said in unison. Carr hit them lightly on the head. “Buzz off.” He warned. “Fine.” They both agreed. Henri and Lori stopped outside of a door after they walked up the stairs. “Wendi Parson, this will be your humble abode for the next month or whatever..” Lori said laughing as she opened the door. “Welcome!” Three voices called from inside. Wendi laughed loudly. “Didn’t you guys already do that?” Carr asked the triplets. “Yea, but this time we have banners!” Diem cheered. Wendi smiled to Carr. “It’s cute.” She told him. “Yea, like mutant bunnies.” He joked. “Okay everyone out. Let’s let Wendi-kid here some rest.” He said ushering everyone out. Wendi smiled looking around the huge lavender colored room as she crashed on the lavender and yellow quilt bedspread with a canopy over it. Carr stood by the door as the other were now gone. “I’ll be in my room where you’re up.” He told her. She nodded knowing that he knew she wanted a nap. “Hey Carr.” She stopped him. “No more Wendi-kid.” She said sternly. Carr smiled. “Yes Ms. Parson.” He said closing the door.

A knock on the door awoke her. “Huh?” She called sitting straight up in her bed. Another knock. Wendi sighed. She had already changed into some night clothes as the house elves had put her bags in her room before she had entered. She was now wearing small pink and yellow polka-dotted shorts and a yellow camisole. She yawned going for the door. “I swear Carr McDuff you are uber annoying.” She said smiling and opening the door not caring the Carr would see her in her p.j.’s. “Ahh!” She yelped seeing a boy standing in front of her. Wendi pulled her arms around her stomach. “You’re not Carr.” She said blatantly. The boy nodded. “Wow my brother sure knows how to pick the smart ones and you’re not the Queen of England, but that’s just me being brilliant.” Wendi raised an eyebrow. “Who are you?” She asked rolling her eyes at the rude boy in front of her who was taking steps closer to her. “Emory?” A voice asked. Wendi smiled as Carr walked up beside her and Emory backed up as Carr put his arm around Wendi. “Wait, your Emory?” Wendi asked looking from Carr to Emory.

Wendi stood in amazement looking at Emory. This was the brother that Wendi knew almost nothing about. Well, it wasn’t if Emory wanted it any other way. Wendi shifted her gaze to Carr who just stared at his brother. This was quite unlike Emory. He hated his family. He hated living in Birmingham. So, why was he here? Wendi smiled at Carr for a brief moment before looking back to Emory. “So, I’m guessing my brother hasn’t told you much about me.” Emory said slyly while leaning up against a wall. Wendi paused for a moment. “I guess he didn’t feel the need to. It’s not like you like anyone in this house anyways.” She said easily. Emory stepped back and faked a hurt expression. “Stab in the heart Parson. Wendi Parson is it. Yes, I know all about you and my big brother.” He said raising an eyebrow. “What are you doing here Emory?” Carr asked annoyed now. “Where’s the love Carr?” He asked in a mocking tone. “Oh wait. Our family never had any of that.” He said moving from his place and walking down the hall to his room. Wendi instantly turned around to face Carr. “What is he doing here?” She asked knowing that Carr wouldn’t know the answer. “No idea. But, I’m going to find out.” Carr said moving down the hall. “Lori.” He called seeing the girl go to the bathroom. “Yes?” She asked. “You wanna take Wendi riding?” He asked. She nodded walking towards Wendi. “Sure.” She said brightly. Wendi smiled as Carr moved down the hall.

“What are you doing here Emory?” Carr asked entering Emory’s lair as Carr had always called it. The walls were painted a dark green color like the Slytherin color, but this represented his house at Durmstrang. Emory was reading some sort of Dark Arts book on his head. “Well, I guess this family hasn’t discovered knocking in my absence.” He said putting the book down and raising an eyebrow. “Look, Emory. If you’re back to screw everything up, don’t.” Carr said slamming the door behind him. Emory sighed. “I’m not back to mess up the perfect life you have going here.” Emory said easily. “I’m not that desperate Carr. Never have been.” He said sitting up in his bed. “But, I have noticed how great everything is going around here. I mean c’mon, Nick is even more talented than before I left, Lori and Henri are practically grown up, and Tazz is a smart one, a good writer I’ve heard.” Carr nodded. “Aren’t you forgetting someone?” He said glaring at his brother. Carr and Emory both knew exactly who Carr meant. “You mean Diem? Your perfect little side-kick?” He asked slyly. “Please, that girl will end up exactly like you. Useless, but I do think she will end up in Gryffindor and even that is a step up from Hufflepuff.” “Shut up.” Carr demanded. Emory sighed. “Why so touching big brother? It isn’t like anyone in Hufflepuff has ever accomplished anything. Well, besides that Parson girl.” He said winking for no reason. “What about Wendi?” Carr asked. “Oh you didn’t know?” He asked. “Tut, tut. Wendi’s uncle is a legend, a great leader. And he seems to believe that Wendi is as smart as a whip. He seems to believe that with the help of her, the world won’t have to be under the rule of muggles for much longer.” Carr shook his head. “Keith Parson is a murder.” He said really screaming. “It’s not like they didn’t deserve it.” Carr had to keep himself from punching Emory. “Stay away from Wendi!” Carr said turning and leaving the room, slamming the door behind him. “Sorry big brother.” Emory said to the slammed door. “That isn’t my mission.

“Did you figure out why he’s here?” Wendi asked sitting on Lori’s horse as Carr walked into he stables. “Nope. Not really.” He replied ruffling his hair. Carr eyed Wendi deciding whether or not to tell her what Emory knew about Keith. Finally, he came to the conclusion that it would just hurt her. “Stay away from him, okay? He can’t be up to any good.” Wendi nodding jumping down from the horse “Will do. How long do you think he’ll stay?” She asked walking to Carr. “Hopefully, not long enough to make things weird around here.” Wendi smiled lightly. “Doubtful.” Wendi eyed Carr. “It’s all gonna be okay, right?” She asked as Carr held one of her hands. “Of course.” He said not really knowing the truth. Wendi smiled and hugged him. “Always.”
