Evening Get-away (Alaizabel)

[dawn]

A cools breeze wrapped its fingers around Dawn's calm body. With a slow shiver Dawn bit her lip from being uncomfortable. Crossing her arms she rolled over to her side as she ran her hand on her bed sheet, looking for her blanket. 'Its freezing.' she thought as Dawn slowly opened up her eyes. Laying on her King size bed in her large vast bed room, her eyes skimmed her wall looking for her window. the Deep blood red walls blended in with the dark woods and the dim light. As her squinted eyes found the window she noticed it was wide open with her curtains flying in the wind. "damn quin..." she murmured as her feet hit the creme colored carpeting. Walking acrossed the floor to her window she pushed it closed as she took a glace of the sunsetting.

Running her right hand through her hair Dawn looked over at ther clock on the wall. 8:32, it read as Dawn yawned and walked over to her bed. Nearly one foot away she collapsed and fell down onto her bed, tired and half asleep. Curling up with her pillow and her red sheets she started to drift off to sleep.

*BANG BANG* *CRASH* Dawn suddenly jumped up from her laying down position as her head darted toward her door. 'Aden!' she thought as she ran toward her door. opening it, she slamed it off her walls she darted down her stairs. "ADEN!! What did You Do!?" Dawn yelled as she swung around the last spiral into her kitchen. There her younger brother sat at the island eating dinner. 'Wasnt me.' he said nonchalantly as Dawn huffed and darted into her Living room. Ther stood her House elf, Quinn, covered in sutt. Dawn's Fireplace was dirty as ever. "QUINN What Happened!" Dawn roared. She was awoken from her sleep and that was never a good thing. " Master, I was cleaning the fireplace when I lost my balence you see." he said calmly as he pointed toward the messed up brick. Dawn's Jaw dropped as she saw the brick ruined. "Quinn will make better miss, Dont worry. All better before Master Gregory gets home." Quinn said a bit scared. "IT BETTER BE FIXED! OR IT WILL BE YOUR HEAD!" Dawn Roared as she went into her den.

"Damn house elf... Get some sleep... Going to Hogsmeade... bored..." Dawn Mumbled as she walked passed Aden, who was now standing in the hall witnessing Dawn's small outburst. "No need to yell, you know Quinn will fix it." he said as Dawn Glared at him and slamed the den door behind her. Walking over to her closet she grabbed her black shoes and put them on. Dawn was already dressed in a grey skirt with a 3/4 in sleeve V neck violet shirt. In Scotland it got a bit cold, hence the small sleeves. After tieing her last shoe, Dawn walked towards the door, turning the knob she turned a quick left and walked into their first floor bathroom. Closing the door after herself, Dawn grabbed her brush and started on her hair. Grabbing a pony tail. She put it up in a mess bun on the top of her head. Opening the cabinet she found her glasses case. Opening it up her thin frame silver glasses sat. Those were her reading glasses. Putting them on she grinned at herself in the mirror. Opening up the door she walked out. Turning into her living room Quinn was slowly putting the bricks back in place. "Move... I need to use the fireplace." Dawn said quite angered as Quinn Jumped out of the way. Grabbed a hand full of loo powder Dawn threw it into the fireplace. "Hogsmeade!' she exclaimed as She left in a *poof*

With a second *poof* Dawn arrived at a fireplace she never was at before. 'I said it correctly.. now what!' she thought as she walked out of the fireplace into a room full of books. With a grin on her face she whiped off her grey skirt as she lifted her head up. She was on the third floor of the Hogsmeade book store. 'Just the place I wanted.' Dawn thought as she went on her way.

The room wasnt all that clean. Dust was on top of all the piles of books that were scattered through out the vast room. Books of all shapes and colors. But this was her favorite section. One side of the room was labled 'Spells'. Another, 'Defence against the Dart Arts.' Another, 'Dark Arts.' and another, 'Charms.'
Dawn was happy with Spells and Charms but no use lookign at thoses sections now since, she didnt have her wand. But she was very happy with Dark Arts. She loved to know how Voldemort did his thing and gained power. She loves to know how some witches and Wizards didnt even use their wand half the time.. It was all using their minds. Dawn admired that. She would love to mumipulate people only using her mind. With a grin she darted to that section.

Running her finger to the binds of ever book she scanned the titles. "Yes!" she exclaimed, as she voice was the only voice heard on the floor. Pulling a dark Green book off the shelf she opened the book up. The Title read. 'Salazar Slytherin's rain to Greatness.' Walking out into the open Dawn walked over to a table with a candle already lit on it. There was only this table in the whole room. It was in the middle of the DADA section. Three tall candles sat on the dark wood already lit. Moving one candle toward her, Dawn Dat up in her chair and begain to read.

[Alaizabel]

Alaizabel something warm and furry press agaisnt her skin, it rubbed her cheek and purred softly. Alaizabel shifted in her sleep. Turning her face away from the object. She pulled her black blanket over her head, and feel back into her sleep. A few minutes later, the same object began purring and rubbing her cheek again, this time, Alaizabel opened her eyes and looked to see who the heck was doing it. Her eyes met with with a pair of yellow glowing eyes.

"Sage..." Alaizabel said sleeply, "What the heck do you want?" Sage purred and jumped on top of Alaizabel's shoulder. Alaizabel sighed and sat up, grabbing Sage in her arms and grooming her gently. She looked at the clock that stood on her bedside, it's gold edges gleamed in the moonlight. It was 8:00 "Ah Sage, why'd you wake me?" Alaizabel grumbled. As she climbed out of bed, her feet met with the soft warm carpet that lay across her bedroom floor. She wiggled her toes and let the warmth of the carpet. Still holding Sage in her arms, she made her way across the bedroom and out of it. Into the cold corridor with it's frozen wooden floorboards. She silently made her way down the hall and down the spiraling staircase. The darkness had engulfed the whole house, and nothing but the echoes of her footsteps rang throughout the vast space.

Alaizabel finally reached the bottom landing and walked towards the kitchen. She opend the door and flipped on the light. Instantly, the dark kitchen became illuminated and Alaizabel sheilded her eyes for the first few minutes and finally ut her hand down, along with Sage. Alaizabel walked to a far corner in the kitchen, Sage right at her ankles, and opened a cabinet, exposing a stack of cat snacks that she had purchased from eeylops. She took out a bag and ripped it open, placing the contents into a bowl and putting it on the floor near Sage. She let out an approving meow and began to eat "Heh that's all you woke me up for." Alaizabel said as she walked out of the kitchen and back up the stairs to her bedroom. She stumbled a bit in the dark and almost fell. But she got to her room safely with it's light's on. The first thing she did was take a warm shower, she was in no need of sleep anymore. When she was done, she headed for her a large room that served as a closet for her, tons of clothes hung around the room and in the center was a three sided mirror. Alaizabel picked out a pair of dark black leather pants and a pink shirt that had a black collar. After staring at herself in the mirror, began to brush her hair, it smoothed into it's usual Raven colored waves. With a hair band that finished it off. Alaizabel wore it to keep her hair out of her face. After another few minutes, she placed a pair of black sneakers and tied them tight.

After her final gaze at her reflection, she grabbed a silk black robe and swung it around her. Just like everything else, it was a perfect fit. She walked out of her wardrobe room, out of her bedroom and down the spiral staircase. She walked into the living room and saw that her mother was there, staring absently mindly into space, a string of spit hanging for the side of her mouth. "Disgusting mother." Alaizabel said as she wiped the spit away. "I'm going out, to hogsmeade, see you later mother." Alaizabel said as she grabbed a pinch of floo powder and threw it into the flames. She stepped into the fire place and pronounced, "Hogsmeade!" In and instant, she was transported from her house, and into a dark room, piled with books.

She walked out of the roaring fire, brushing off the soot from her clothes. She flipped her hair and looked around. She began to walk forward and was surprised to see that she wasn't the only one here. She looked at the girl who was indulged in a book that was a dark green color, Alaizabel smiled, any pureblood slytherin would know what that book was.

She silently made her way towards a shelf and scanned the books, dust flying aimlessly as her finger crossed over each book. She smiled when she finally found the book she was looking for. She pulled out a Dark Black book that had brass on it's edges. On the cover was the image of a serpent wrapped around a skul, which was etched in the cover. She looked at the title and read, "The Death of the Dark Arts". She grinned, just what she wanted to read. She made her way silently back to the table where the girl sat. Alaizabel flipped her hair back again and opened the book. After a few minutes she looked up and said aloud, "I'm guessing your a slytherin, am I correct."

[dawn]

'Slazar Slytherin, the only Pureblood of the Hogwarts four. He was very strict about who he let in his house.' Dawn skimmed thought the pages. She already read this book over once before, but it was one of thoses books she loved to read. Also since she was a sixth year Slytherin she needed to set a perfect example on how to be true to your house.

Turning the page a sound came from the fireplace. Slightly raising her head, Dawn noticed a girl walk out of it. 'Who in bloody hell is she?' Dawn thought. Dawn knew nearly everyone in Hogwarts School. But the small percentage she didnt care to know were Gryffindorks, but this girl Deffinatly wasnt a Gryffindor. She held herself to high it seemed like she had a feeling of superiority. Deffinatly a pureblood. Dawn looked back at her book but didnt read it. Dawn knew most of the Pureblood familys, from her father. And she knew the history of them too. But then again Dawn didnt know this girl.

Shrugging it off Dawn begain to read her book again as the Girl came and sat down at the dark mahogany wood table. She opened her book as she spoke out to Dawn. Raising her head she looked at the girl as Dawn said. "Of Course. A McGrogan would never be in any other house." a little but arrogant, but the only reason was she was proud of her family and her house. "And you, Death of the Dark Arts book, a Superior stride when you walk. Deffinatly a pureblood." Dawn said as she gave her a slight grin towards the girl with a -That-way-a-compliment-be-happy- look.

Dawn spoke up again as she readjusted her glasses. "We deffinatly havent formally met. I know nearly all the pureblood Family's in Hogwarts, which one do you belong to? I am Dawn McGrogan, of the Scotland McGrogans." Dawn said with a slight bow of her head. When you first meet someone you never start a conversation without introducing yourself.

Placing her book mark she had on the side of her book, inside her book. She closed it and pushed it away a few inches. Dawn looked over the girl as she couldnt put her finger on what family this girl belonged to. 'Maybe if I know her house.' With a slight narrow of her eyes she bit the inside of her lip. 'Slytherin.. SLYTHERIN!? How so..?' she thought as she begain to speak. "You are Slytherin if Im not mistaken, But well that hardly ever happens." Dawn said with a slight grin. "What year? I seriously have no clue and I would deffinatly like to know everyone from my house." Dawn said as she started to roll the ring on her right ring finger. Her Family ring. The ring given to every McGrogan when they turn 16.

[Alaizabel]

Alaizabel closed her book, and left it in front of her as she eyed Dawn. She knew who the McGrogan's were, a proud pureblood generation, of course, all pureblood's were. She clasped her hands together on top of her book as she listened to Dawn intently.

Alaizabel grinned slightly, "Well McGrogan, you seem to place your name far and wide." She pushed her chair back and stood up, bowing down. "As for me, I have heard very much about the McGrogan's, it is an honor to actually meet one." She said raising herself back up, as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Me, I am a Cray, Alaizabel Cray, known throughout United Kingdom." She said with a cocky smile, as she placed herself back into her chair, her fingertips now placed together in front of her, and her crossing her legs formally.

She laughed slightly at Dawn's puzzlement. "Well of course I am in Slytherin." She said in a cocky matter. "5th year, 15 years old." Alaizabel said, eyeing Dawn's ring. "Ah a family jewel." Alaizabel said, "Every pureblood family has something to pass down to their generations." She as she held her white gold necklace, rubbing the golden sheild with a C inscribed into it.

[dawn]

Dawn listened to Alaizabel. When she said she was honored to meet her, Dawn raised her eyebrown. "Honored. Thats always nice. Im glad to hear that someone knows a good Pureblood family when they see them." Dawn sais as ashe slightly shook her head and thought of a we people who dont care about superiority.

Looking at Alaizabel, Dawn kept listening when she spoke her name. "Yes, a Cray. It all makes sence now." She said with a smile. "Your going into fifth year? Im going into my sixth year." Dawn said as she grined and pulled back her book. Reading the cover over and over again she heard Alaizabel talk about Dawn's ring and her necklace. Looking up she saw her necklace from across the table. "Stunning." Dawn said as she looked at her ring. She was perfectly delighted about her ring, it had secrects and perfect places to hide them.

Raising her head again she looked at Alaizabel. "So you spotted me from half a room away by this book, I see." Dawn said as she turned the book so Alaizabel could read the cover. "I should have known then and there you were a Slytherin." She said with a short laugh. Turning the book back to herself, she went on. "What what brings you here tonight? For me, I was sleeping and my Ickle House elf ruined my fireplace!" Dawn said as she growled slightly under her breath. "I didnt want to be home when my father arrived." Dawn said shaking her head at the thought. Turning her head slightly to the left, Dawn looked out the window. The sun was nearly all set beneath the horizion. Only a few stars were vizable. Turning back to Alaizabel, dawn adjusted her glasses on her face and waited for Alaizabel's answer.

[Alaizabel]

Alaizabel listened to Dawn's reply, she was quite interesting, of course, she was, after all she was a McGrogan. "Well it's nica to know that you recognize me as well." Alaizabel said flatly.

"That's a lovely ring." Alaizabel added, "But then of course, it would be" Alaizabel said with a grin, "I mean when you're covered in wealth such as us, every thing is lovely." She let go of her necklace and eyed Dawn.

She smirked at Dawn's comment at her house elf, "Ah house elf problems too, funny, how witches like us, own the most scrawniest of house-elf's. My house-elf Angus, can be such a pain at times, but he always learns he's listen after a little whack."She said coldly. "As for me, my explaination is that My cat woke me up." She said with a slight laugh. "And well there was not much to do at home, so I came here for a little reading to do." She too looked out the window and admired the stars in the sky. "Besides it's always good to read in solitude, but I guess that all changed now."Alaizabel grinned slightly/

[dawn]

"All So true, With wealth like us we can have anything." Dawn said as the two fell silent. It was quiet for nearly a minute when Dawn quickly raised her head and looked at Alaizabel. Dawn heard a sound, but it seems like she was the only one who had. "Did you hear that?" Dawn asked in a whisper. Not waiting for an answer she pushed back her chair and stood up.

Leaving her chair pulled out she walked the lenght of the table to the other side. Glaring into the open aisles of DADA, Dawn boomed. "Bloody Hell, I know someone is there. If You do not come forward in a five seconds I will come after you like a Dementor to Sirius Black!" Dawn roared. As she tapped her side. "Im waiting you Ickle Mudblood! Dont think its weird for me to know your blood. No Pure would be hiding in the shadows!"

Turing to Alaizabel behind her Dawn said, "I heard Heavy breathing. Someone is most deffinatly evesdropping in on our Conversation." Turning back to the aisle she watched them as she saw nothing. "Three, two, One. Mudblood your time is up." Dawn exlcaimed as she clenched her right hand in a fist and walked forward to the aisle in front of her. Disappearing into the shadow of the tall Book shelves Dawn found something. Feeling hair Dawn grabbed it with her right hand and dragged it out of the Aisle. "Woman what in Merlin's name do you think you are doing?!" Dawn exclaimed as a woman half Dawn's size stood next to her.

Rubbing her head slightly where Dawn pulled her, she spoke in a scratchy tone. "This is my daughter's shop and No one should be in here after hours! So Scoot scoot!" she said as she put her hand on Dawn's back and nudged her toward the stairs. Widening her eyes Dawn quickly took the woman's hand and thew it off of her. "Dont You Dare touch me! I Do Not Know Where You Have Been!" Dawn growled as she stepped away from the woman. Crossing her arms she said, "I do not want to leave right now, I am in the middle of a very fine book. Something you dont have the IQ for." Dawn said in an annoyed tone as she tapped her foot on the floor. "So dear Mudblood, If you would excluse me I will be going Back-To-My-Book!" Dawn said as she narrowed her eyes and turned around and walked to her seat.

The woman spoke up as Dawn's back was to her. "This is My Shop, and I demand you to leave. You and your friend." Walking a few stepps behind Dawn she grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her toward her and pushed her slightly towards the stairs.

Dawn quickly flew back as the woman pulled her. Taking the woman's arm from her, Dawn caught her footing and stood facing the woman. Picking up her right hand she slapped her on the face. "I said DO NOT TOUCH ME!" Dawn growled as the woman stared back into Dawn's eyes as Dawn did the same. With a quick turn on her heels and walked over to the side of the table where she was. Picking up the book she walked back to the woman. Pushing the book into her she spoke up to Alaizabel. "We are leaving." she said in a calm tone to her as she narrowed her eyes at the woman. Walking towards the stairs and placed her hand on the railing and turned towards the shop owner. "I will return, But with my Father. You will be so Wretched you messed with me this shop will be mine before we leave. To bad for your daughter, eh?" Dawn said as she began to step down the stairs in a superior fashion. Her back straight, her head held hight, and no sound of her shoes hitting the wooden stairs.

The woman walked over to the banaster and watched Dawn walk down. "And Why will I be sad?" She exclaimed down the stairs. Dawn stepped off the bottom stair and didnt look towards the woman. Still walking towards the next set of stairs Dawn said, "Because I am a McGrogan, Dear mudblood, I bet you heard of me." She said as she turned and started down the next set of stairs.

The shop owner's face was a bit astonished, but she quickly hid it under anger as she watched Dawn walk away.

[Alaizabel]

Alaizabel saw that Dawn had put her hand up, and signaled her to be silent. Alaizabel was startled by this unpredictable act, but did as she was told. Alaizabel stood up when Dawn had asked if she had heard anything.

Alaizabel had a confused expression on her face, "Noise, where?" she asked hurridly, as she looked around. She then saw that Dawn was already making her way around the bookshelves. Attempting to follow, Alaizabel stopped when she heard the word mudblood. "So a mudblood dares spy on us." she said to herself, as she heard shouts from both Dawn and the female mudblood echo through the darkness.

Alaizabel had decided to join Dawn, she walked towards the comotion, and she flipped her hair. When she had reached them, she crossed her arms and stared coldly at the mudblood, "Only a mere old lady" she thought to herself. Her expression changde when the woman had said that they would have to leave at one.

Alaizabel placed her hands on her hips and spoke in a cold voice, glaring at the old women, "Get out, GET OUT, what gives a mudblood like you such authority to order US like that!?" She said, now clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.

Then Dawn and Alaizabel had turned around and began to walk away, when the mudblood grabbed Dawn's shirt, from the corner of Alaizabel's eye,she wsaw Dawn whirl around, which was followed by a loud slap. Alaizabel smiled, just what the mudblood deserved.

She followed Dawn, as they both made their way way back to the table, "That pilfering mudblood, how dare say order us like that, and lay a hand at you as if she was allowed." Alaizabel said in a high voice. She grabbed her book off the table and followed Dawn, as they both left the down the staircase. She smiled when she heard Dawn reply to the mudblood. Teaching her who was really in charge here. She glared at the mudblood, and retorted, "Mudblood, if I were you, I'd learn that people as yourself have No authority in this world." She whirled around, elegantly and walked down the stairs, leaving the mudblood, and her astounded, yet anger expression.

[dawn]

Dawn walked down the last flight of stairs and walked straight towards the front door. Reaching for the door she turned the door knob. Stepping back she held the door open for Alaizabel. After she walked thought, Dawn followed and slamed the door behind her. One plate of glass on the door cracked. Turning towards the door and seeing her damage she shrugged and turned back around.

Hogsmeade was empty. The only people on the street were Alaizabel and Dawn. Tall street sconces burned brightly and lit up the deserted stone street. A cold breeze fell over Dawn as she felt a cold chill go down her back. Rolling her shoulder's slightly backward she took a few steps. Turning to Alaizabel she said, "Damn Mudblood. Telling us what to do... Pshh! She is going to be sad she talked to me in that tone.'" Dawn said outloud, but to herself. "So where to next. Im quite cold and I hate waiting." Dawn said as she turned her head and looked down the street. A few free leaves rolled acrossed the stones as the fire in the scones flickered in the wind.

Putting her palms of her elbos Dawn rubbed her arms to get warms. "I should have brought my cloak. Stupid Me." Dawn said scolding herself. Looking down at her shoes she noticed a scuff mark on the top of her black shoes. "Mudblood made me scuff my shoes!" She said as she bent down and started to whip away the mark, It wouldnt go away. "My shoe money is going to be Comming out of Her Pocket!" she growled as she stomped her foot on a few loose stones and glared at the book shop behind her.

[Alaizabel]

As they reached the finally landing, Alaizabel walked out of the open door held by Dawn. Before walking out, she took one last minute to glare at the mudblood woman. Walking through the door, she saw that Dawn's face was somehow sour, yet calm. She shrugged it off and entered the lonely streets of Hogsmeade. Empty with rolling leaves and some leftover wrappers.

The slamming of the door made Alaizabel whirl around and face a broken glass, ignoring it, both her and Dawn began walking when Dawn exclaimed something about her shoe. Alaizabel took a look and noticed the scuff that had appeared on Dawn's shoe. Alaizabel glared back at the shop then looked back at Dawn grinning, "Seems like that old mudblood is in for something bigger than just the loss of her shop. I would say, Ordering us, laying her filthy mudblood hands on you, and Scuffing your shoe would equal three strikes. I'd say we make her pay bad." Alaizabel finished in a sly confident voice.

She wasn't big on people ordering her around, more of vice-versa, but then again, who didn't. Alaizabel turned away from Dawn and flipped her hair yet again, tightening her robe around her, she looked sympathically at Dawn who was cold, but didn't think of anyway she could help. Walking further down the path, she looked back at Dawn and said, "where we off to now, not many places in Hogsmeade that's open this late." She said her hands on her hips.

[dawn]

Dawn listened to Alaizabel go on about the mudblood. "Yes in time, deffinatly in time. But I bet you by now she put a charm on the shop for no one to enter." Dawn turned and glared at the building. Spitting on the wall she begain to walk down the street. the breeze blew but Dawn was used to the coldness by then.

With a heavy exhale Dawn had thoughts in her head about how to repay the woman. Reaching the middle fountain in the heart of Hogsmeade. Watching the water fall around the sculputes Dawn sat on the edge and looked over to Alaizabel. "Who says the shops need to be open?" Dawn asked in her normal tone as she sat straight up. Crossing her legs at the ankles and looked at her ruined shoe. Turning her head away from it in disgust she looked down the street. "Pick a shop, It will be open for us. Most deffinatly." Dawn said as she looked down at the ground at her feet. A sickle sat there amungst the stones. Bending downs he picked it up and she turned around and looked at the founatin. Holding the sickle in her hand she rubbed it between her thumb and pointer finger. Thinking of a wish she threw it into the water.

(( Im completly out of it. I have No clue how to carry on this post. If you have any Idea's feel free to carry on.))

[Alaizabel]

(( I know me too, I think we need a new post, something maybe with more excitment and people to taunt LoL ))

Alaizabel continued to walk by Dawn's side. When they reached the center of Hogsmeade with a fountain over flowing with water. She watched in wonder as the water sparkled over each and every statue, "beauty at it's best" she muttered to herself.

She snapped back to reality and looked back at Dawn, who had said something about getting any shop open. Alaizabel sighed, truth was, she wasn't in that much of a mood to go anywhere else, she felt lost, for some reason, maybe even confused about her feelings at the moment.

She sat on the fountains edge, her hands holding knees. She gave one look at Dawn and then back at the flowing water. For some reason, she felt that watching the water flow down the immobolized figures, and the sound of the gentle splashing was somehow... soothing, exactly what Alaizabel wanted.

[dawn]

(( How about you make a new post, It took me 2 1/2 days to think of a post with Justin, im not sure if I can think of another. Or if you want we can hold off a post till school, because alot can happen there. Your Call. ))

[Alaizabel]

(( I'll think about it, if anything comes to mind I'll let yoyu know, but we will most certainly be posting when school starts, I'm starting to get bored with posting only in hogsmeade and Diagon Alley LoL ))

[dawn]

(( Yes Agreeable. We will post during school, and also summer season is boring to me since well you have only a few places to post and basically every post is the same. ))

[Alaizabel]

(( Yep, I've only had one good post in Diagon Alley... school needs to start ))
