Artemis scanned the empty hallway, the darkness never seemed to end, and the sound of a dropping pindrop could be heard throughout the entire house. The only thing that could be seen were two pale blue eyes. That darted around. Artemis's head stuck out of his room searching for anyone that was around. Hopefully there wasn't and everyone was busy at their work, especially his mother.
Artemis's mother was a strict woman who didn't allow Artemis to leave the house grounds without her permisson, or without the accompany of one of their butlers. Though Artemis didn't know why she did that, he hated every bit of it, he had no freedom, or time of his own.
Artemis stepped back into his room, his formal black shoes glinted in the illumining light. He wore a pair of black slacks with a black button up collared shirt, an attire his mother approved of, and fortunatley, so did Artemis. He placed his black robe on and steped up to the fire place. He grabbed a handfull of floo powder from a silver bowl and threw it in to the flames. They it roared green in a matter of seconds. He steped in and yelled, "Diagon Alley!" His eyes closed as he flew past fire places and he felt the tickling warm sensation.
After a few minutes, he felt himself being thrusted into a dark pub. The Leaky Cauldron, a place he had been to before, but never alone. Artemis wasn't used to being alone, espeically in this outside world. He hesitated a bit but walked across the cobblestoned floor.
He looked here and there and eyed the few mudbloods and squibs, not one of he's favorite kind of people. Artemis left the pub, from the back and was now in an area with a huge brick wall. Taking out his wand, which he had bought a few days before with the company of his mother, in fact he had bought everything he needed for the new school year at hogwarts. He held his wand and tapped the three bricks that led to the streets of Diagon Alley.
After a few minutes, the brick wall suddenly beagn to dissapate and Artemis stepped through, the welcomg yet crowded streets of the Alley. Artemis walked slowly through the streets, taking in all the scenery, though it was not new to him, it somehow had this glow, because for once, he was alone. It felt different, quite new. Artemis had noted to himself that he was going to enjoy every single second he had here, that is until someone Until then noticed his disappearance, he was going to have fun.
Artemis walked down the cobblestone path, seeing what awaited his very prescence.

With the school year drawing near, Nokomis knew that she had to go to Diagon Alley to get her things. It wasn't exactly her mothers favorite place to be though, so with a little convincing, she managed to talk her mother into letting her go alone. Now she stood in a windo of a broom shop, staring in at the broom's longinly. There were boxes at her feet, she had already gotten her things, and since she her mother was not expecting her back hom for another hour, she wanted to admire the boom she couldn't afford. After a moment she thought she heard something and sh elooked up to see a boy walking down the street towards her. He looked young, but unfamiliar, and that made her wonder if he was going to start going to Hogwarts soon...he looked about 11...

Artemis was enjoying his day, something he hadn't felt for that past 11 years of his life, for once he was all alone, scowering the streets of Diagon. Artemis stopped in front of a broom shop and stared at a firebolt. He grinned, and thought in his head, "Heh, I already have that." However, he knew he couldn't start the quidditch team, which was a total bummer, but nevertheless, he had his broom.
Artemis stared at his reflection in the mirror and fixed his dark black hair, his pale skin made his pale blue eyes stand out, Artemis smiled at himself, then noticed a pair of eyes were watching him, turning around, his pale blue eyes suddenly turned ice cold.
He stared a girl, maybe a little older that he was, he looked in her eyes and said, "And what might you be looking at?" Artemis said in an emotionless voice, crossing his arms and waiting for a response.

Startled by his cold voice and iced over eyes she took a step back.
"I..um..." she started, taking a moment to regain herself before she could speak again "I was wondering if you are starting Hogwarts this year."

Artemis hesitated, the girl was taken aback by his response. He thought in his head if maybe he should give her the benefit of the doubt. Turning his headsideways in thought, his blue eyes gleamed and turned back to their pale blue. He turned back to the girl and said, "Yes, I am going to Hogwarts, first year." He said in a cool, yet flat voice. "And what year might you be going to?" He asked, staring at her.

She smiled slightly, happy that at least his voice wasn't so cold, that and the fact she was proud to be over with her first year at Hogwarts.
"I'm a second year"

((OOC: Um I'm figuring your new to roleplaying, but if not, then forgive, but sooner of later, with your posts, dawn or cat might comment ans say that they are too short, and that you might have to add more detail and stuff, this is just a heads up, either way, let's continue))
Artemis stood his ground and looked at the girl. It took him a few seconds to realize that he didn't know her name. Taking a look at his nails, he thought for awhile if this conversation should continue. After all he was a pureblood, and this girl, well this girl looked nothing like a pureblood.
He then stood tall and looked the girl right in the eye, his pale blue eyes glowing from his pale skin and his black hair glinting in the sun. "I am Fowl, Artemis Fowl III, someone like you should know a royal name like this, if not, then I sympathize." Artemis said in a Royal like voice. "And what is your name girl." He said lowering himself and looking at her.

She was once again taken a back by his stance. She searched her brain for a moment to think if she had ever heard the name before, but she came up with nothing. For some reason she wish she had heared of him, as if her saying otherwise was going to end in a great disaster Royalty? She was new to the world of magic, but she thought that all blood was the same. She stumbled with words for a moment, her strait stature starting to slouch slightly as his icey blue eyes bore down on her.
"I..um..." she stuttered for a moment, still trying to gather her nerve "I'm Nokomis Astara."

Artemis stood awhile, waiting for her response, he saw in her eyes that she had no idea who the Fowl family was. He snorted and continued to look and finally an answer protruded from her lips.
Disregarding her first name, he searched his mind for the name Astara, "Halfblood" he thought to himself as he continued to stare. 'Worthy of my prescence I guess." He though to himself again, "Ah well guess I'll let this conversation continue." He finished, returning to the real world around him.
'Nokomis Astara, it is a slight enjoyment to meet you, now would you like to continue walking around here, as I guess you were doing before." He said in a slighter calmer voice, and with a less stern look.

"I...um..." she started, despratly wanting to make some excuse to grab her bag of floo powder and dart back home again. But she regained herself, but force mainly. She had told herself that this year would be different. This year, she would be be confidant and meet new people
"Sure" she finally answered "Do you have shopping to do still? I think I need another quill and some partchment..."
She knew she was not starting to ramble a bit and she stopped herself, still fighting her urges to leave and go back to her nice safe home.

Artemis sighed, "Pityful girl, can you not keep your head strong, this is just a minor conversation" Artemis said in a cold voice. Artemis rubbed his temples and thought, "WHy am I still standing here?" he asked himself.
After a few seconds, the Nokomis began speaking, ranting on about shopping. Artemis had already done all his shopping, but again, he let her have the benefit of the doubt.
Artemis forced a smile, which looked strange on him, and said, "Then off we go, to get your quills." Artemis said, begining to walk. "Now Astara, tell me about yourself."

"About me?" She replied quickly, as she turned o that he could trot along at his sides. She ws begining to catch on that he didn't like her pauses and stumbles.
"Well, I'm from Killeen, Ireland. My Dad's a wizard, but I didn't find out until last year." She stopped after that, somehow feeling as if she had said too much.
"Um...what about you?" she asked quickly, wnting to shange the subject away from her

Artemis looked straight ahead, walking at a fast stride. He stopped when Nokomis had asked for his background. "I'm not satisfied with your answer." He said, continuing to walk, waiting for her to say more.

Dean was sitting at Florean Fortesques Ice Cream Parlor and saw a pair of young wizards. One a girl and the other a boy ,they both seemed about eleven or twelve. He got up after finishing his ice cream he made his way over to the two. He walked up to them and said " Well hello there ,I'm Dean Thomas ,do you two need any help with anything?" he really thought that the girl looked troubled but the boy had a hard, cold look about him.

She sighed slightly, not knowing what else to tell him
"Um..." she started once more, stumbling over her own words again. He hated that thought didn't he? She so wished for him to like her, even if it was just so that she would know someone who liked her.
"I don't know what to tell you" she replied, trying not to pause so long this time.
"Do you know about the houses at Hogwarts? I'm in Hufflepuff..."
She hoped that a little more information might satisfy him and she wouldn't have to come up with more to tell him

Artemis waited for the girls reply, as much as he wanted to sympathize, he was at the same time disgusted. he didn't care if her father was a wizard if she just found out, he wanted to know about her family name.
"Astara, may you tell me something of more significance such as your family history?" He said in his cold voice, yet again, his patience was begining to dissapate.
Then a tall boy had joined them, from no where. Artemis stared at him, thinking to himself, "Where the bloody-hell did he come from, and what the bloody hell is he doing here?" Artemis continued his cold glare and spoke to the boy.
"Boy, tell me your name." He said in a demanding voice, waiting for his reply.

Dean looked at the as she was looking very troubled indeed and she was talking as if she was scared to talk. He then heard the little boy talk and he did'nt like the kids attitude. He looked at the little boy and said " Well I'm Dean Thomas Gryffindor sixth year , and you are?" he could tell that this boy was more than likely a Slytherin. He then looked and said " I would like to know your name to."

She had just barley opened her mouth to answer about her family when the new boy came in and broke up there conversation. She wasn't sorry he did either, she knew nothing about her family's history, and somehow she didn't think this boy was going to take that news happiy
"I'm Nokomis Astarra" she replied, quicker this time, though now more than ever she just wanted to turn around and leave the boys. She had managed to avoid almost everyone but those from her own house, and a few Gryffindors, but never a sixth year.

Artemis sighed, "Gryffindor, Hufflepuff..." he said in his head. He cooled down a bit, maybe this wasn't so bad, but he couldn't help but feel a little disturbed.
He looked at the boy named Dean and gave him an emotionless look, he opened his mouth to speak, his blue eyes gleaming, "My name is Fowl, Artemis Fowl III." He said, "Slytherin First Year." He finished, as he turned back to Nokomis who was looking quite frightened now.
"And me and my aquaintance Nokomis were now going to get her some quills" Artemis sighed yet again and rubbed his temple, trying to find that soft spot.
"Would you like to join us." He said in a quavering voice, trying to keep his cool.

Dean looked at the boy as his suspicions were proved. He said " Pleasure to meet both of you." He listened to the kids question and said " Well sure I'll join you." He then looked around expecting to see any of his friends ,but none were around to be seen. So he said " Well come on lets go." he was expecting on the boy to get angry and it would be funny.
