Shoping with a Friend ((Rosaliz))

[ghost]

Zenia had just walked out of Flourish and Blotts she needed new ink and a few new quills. She walked around a bit, looking inside shop windows wishing she had more money to get ink that changed colors while you write, or ice cream that turned your toung black or maybe food for her owl. She sighed. She used to always go shopping with her friends, they would laugh and have a good time. But that was befor she got her letter. She didn't see those freinds anymore. She sighed yet again and checked her money bag. She had enough, but something told her to save it, and thats what she did. Just to find something for her self. Maybe to life her spirets. She stood and gazed at a a new pure gold quills on sale. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped. "Hello"! The person behind her said.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz tapped Zenia on the back..The last time they met was during the end of the school year when Zenia saved her from drowning. It was a rare coincident that she saw her here at diagon alley. Rosaliz said to her do you want to go for some ice cream? My treat and I’ll buy you whatever school supplies, since I have loads of money. Rosaliz never told Zenia that her mother died during this school year she’s been living in the magical world in hotels ever since school was over. She’s been very lonely and was surprised to see Zinna. Just the perfect friend to talk to. She wanted to explain to Zinna to what happened since school was out. Rosaliz was trying to bring the topic up, to make it easier for herself. “ What are you doing here?, How’s your family doing?” she said waiting for a reply. ;D

[ghost]

"Hello Rosaliz!" Zenia said with a huge smile. Zenia remembered Rosaliz from school when she saved her from drowning, it was wonderful to see her here. Zenia heard something about ice cream and her mouth began to water. "I would love to go get some ice cream!" They started walking in the direction of the nearest ice cream parlor. Zenia looked down at her shopping list.."well I could use a few more supplies...I have enough money for now, I think." Zenia could feel he money bag, which was now very light. Zenia answered the rest of Rosaliz's questions.
"My family is okay I haven't seen my mom or dad in a long time. I am living with my brother. "Zenia gave a tinny smile and looked down. She didn't want Rosaliz to think that she was pitiful. "So what about you? How is your family? What have you been doing this summer?" Zenia asked, glancing over to Rosaliz.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Zenia asked Rosaliz how her family was and Rosaliz said “Well haven’t seen my family ever since I began Hogwarts, let me explain….during the school year I received a letter from my family. And I only get mail if it’s an emergency. Well I found out that my mother died in a car accident, and have nobody take of me.”

A tear rolled down her cheek while she was saying this. Then she put a big spoon of ice cream in her mouth. It was her favorite a banana split with extra ice cream. “I didn’t know what I was going to do after I left Hogwarts. My Grandmother had died, and I don’t know where my father is. I don’t have any clue to where he is. My family didn’t want to take me in because of economic problems….So I live in Hotels until Hogwarts begins again looking for a friend or somebody to take me in…read this letter I got on that day. I carry it with me everywhere I go, since it’s the closest I’ve got to my family”
This is what the letter said:

“Dear honey,

Before you continue reading this letter, I want you to know that I love you very much and you’ll always have me on your side. Your beloved mother was on her way to the grocery market today. But on the way your mother had gotten into a terrible car accident. Her car hit another car and flipped over three times. Sadly your mother didn’t make it. I’m really sorry for your lost with all sympathy. I also wanted to say I can’t take you in as custody because economic issues I have right now
Your Aunt Rachel”

[ghost]

Zenia heart sank, low, really low when Rosaliz told her the story, it then sank even lower when she read the note. Zenia took a great big bite of her triple chocolate brownie fudge ice cream, she immediately got a brain freeze. She saw a tear go down Rosaliz's face.
"Oh I am so so sorry" and Zenia meant it. "I never new...oh we would take you in...but..." Zenia thought that is was time to tell her story, even though she had been worried, she didn't know why, but now felt as right of a time as ever to give her explanation.
" Like I said I would take you in...but right now I am living with my older brother. Wait let me explain. My parents have sent me several notes saying that they are, well "busy" but thats not exactly the case, you see they are very rich, but they where not always like that. They inherited from my grandparents of my fathers side. They now have to "work" so they have sent me away to live with my brother so that they can spend all that money! They haven't even offered to help me pay for my books!" Zenia took a deep breath and looked down at her hands. "They know how homesick I have been they know how much I have wanted to see my family, but they don't care! They want there money!" Zenia looked up at Rosaliz. "Sorry, I haven't told many people, I sorta vented on you, but if you would like I can talk to my brother about all this." Zenia gave a small smile and took another bite of her melting ice cream.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz listened to Zenia explain her story. She found it horrible that her parents wouldn't want her because they were hogging, ALL of the money to themselves. She was happy when she mentioned about her brother, about living with them, but she just said "Zenia I don't think that is a good idea because, your brother is trying to raise you, and I don't want to start a bigger problem. But if he does consider it, I'll be my best. I'll even pay rent, and get a job if I have to." After she said that , she looked down at her iceream, sadly it was melted. Rosaliz didn't mind, she knew that it melted because of the hot weather. She just watched Zenia eat her icecream, and ordered for a drink, waiting for her to reply, to her thoughts.

[ghost]

"Oh I am sure he wouldn't mind" Zenia stated taking a big spoonful of ice cream.
"He gets lonely, or thats what he tells me." Zenia smiled at the thought of him. He was tall and had dark brown hair, and brown eyes. He also had that twisted smile that made his whole face light up. Zenia smiled to herself, until she snapped back into reality when she heard Rosa ask the waitress for a drink.
"Oh and you don't have to pay rent! Luckily my brother has a really nice job. He lives in a apartment, it has a kitchen, family room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms, you and I could just smash another bed in there."
Zenia then thought about her room. It was small and simple,with dark blue walls, and a black ceiling with stares that she painted when she moved in,it had a bed, a side table, her dresser and a big table with two chairs. It would be hard but another bed, and maybe a dresser could fit. Zenia's heart raced just thinking about it.
"Oh this is so exiting!" She squealed. "I know my brother wouldn't mind, considering your perdicament..." Zenia trailed off. Then a thought accrued to her.
"Wait, my brother is coming around 7:00 to pick me up, he will be in the Leaky Calderon. I could introduce you to him there!" Zenia squealed with happiness, and smiled waiting for Rosaliz's reply.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz was glad when Zenia told her that she could stay with her, during the summer. Rosaliz then said to Zenia “Oh…I almost forgot to tell you I have my own store here at Diagon alley. You could check it out, and take anything you want with no charge!!! I sell almost everything, from my own fashion-designed clothes, robes, candy, books, furniture and much more….almost anything you can think of. That’s why my store is a big hit. While my store is open all of the others are deserted, since mine has all the things you need without going to a different store to get the supplies. I fell kind of bad for the owners. I just closed it when I ran into you, well I should call for the check…so I can go show you the store until your brother gets here.” Rosaliz then got up from her seat, looking down at Zenia, waiting for a reply so she could get ready to show her the store.

[ghost]

Zenia's eyes almost popped out of her head, she hoped Rosaliz didn't notice. "You..you have your own shop...here? Cool!!!" Zenia was quite amused that she owed her own shop.

"Thats allot of responsibility" Zenia said, she new Rosaliz must be very responsible. Zenia was quite responsibe...when she wanted to be, she just, neglected things sometimes. Zenia smiled "You design your own cloths? Thats really neat. Zenia sighed. "Your shop must have been popular, where are you going to keep all the things that you haven't sold? We could take them with us. Its sad that you had to close it." Zenia then slowly stood up and said. "Okay I want to see it! I could help you cart some stuff out!" Zenia pushed in her chair.
"Okay" She said. "You lead the way!"

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz walked proudly towards the store. While walking she told Zenia “Well, I could keep it open since it’s summer vacation and when were in Hogwarts only on the weekends since there are no classes on those days… The store was sold quite cheap, since it was only a small room. The owner sold it to me because he complained it was way to small. But on the other hand I was much clever than he was since I knew the perfect spell that would increase the volume of the room in the inside, while it looks quite small on the outside, by the way I could use that charm in your room, it will make the room much bigger under the spell.”

Rosaliz got to her store and unlocked it. On the outside there were to big display windows. She opened the door, she heard a little bell tinkle over her head, that she was use to hearing all the time. She looked around; it looked the same as usual. On the left side in the back of the room, there was a changing area to try on clothes, with a three dimensional mirror, to look at your self in different angles. Fallowing in front of the changing area were racks of clothes. On the right hand side in the far back, the area had many school supplies, from books, to quills, inks, parchments, backpacks, even brooms. Fallowing in front of the school supplies were the furniture from beds, to chairs, to side tables. Also there was furniture that you can use around the whole house, in that section. Farback center if the room was a candy stand that extended to the entrance of the store. The cash register was cramped right in front of the right side window, since the furniture took up so much space. Rosaliz then said, “What do you think?? Go look around, and take what ever you need. Don’t worry if you get a lot. You can even take furniture, since I know a shrinking spell, that will shirk even a bunk-bed to a size of a finger nail”. Rosaliz stood their and grinned, waiting for Zenia to reply.

[ghost]

Zenia was amazed at all the objects in the tiny room. She stood there with her mouth open thinking.
"Wow, really neat, you don't mind if I look around?" Zenia got right to looking around. She looked at the candy first, the sweet smell that collided with her was pronominal. She looked at the rows of chocolate, Berty botts Every flavored Beans, lolly pops, and much more. Wow everything looks so good, She thought to her self. She then moved on to the furniture, the sent of wood filled her nostrils.
"You know we could take one of smaller beds for your new room." Zenia said with one of her big smiles. Zenia waited for Rosaliz to answer as she walked around looking at the robes, and different clothes. She then moved to school supplies.
"Oh! I love this little backpack!" Zenia said. She carefully lifted the backpack off the shelf. It was very nice. It was black and had a red dragon embroided on it. She also found a school book that she hadn't manged to buy. She took them up to the cash register.
"I love all the things you have here!!!'' Zenia said with a smile. "This is all I would like...are you sure your okay with me taking it, because I can pay for it you know." Zenia waited with a smile on her face for Rosaliz's reply.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz said to Zenia, “I don’t mind you looking around”. She was quite glad that Zenia liked her store. She watched Zenia walk around. Looking at the robes, and different clothes. Next she moved to the furniture section she quite agreed, that she would take a bed from the store. She then moved to school supplies. She then moved to school supplies. "Oh! I love this little backpack!" she heard Zenia say. See watched her take it. She then saw her take a book. She then saw her walking towards her with the supplies. Rosaliz said ‘don’t be silly, you don’t have to pay. She took Zenia’s supplies and putted them into a bag. The bag was big, but had a spell Rosaliz put on it before coming out of Hogwarts. The spell made the bag and objects inside feel as light as a feather. Rosaliz walked towards the beds. She picked a small bed to take with her. It was good that she put spells on everything before the Hogwarts school year was over. Rosaliz tapped the bed and said “shrunko” The bed shrank into the size of a baby ant. Rosaliz picked the tiny bed from the floor; she took out a jewelry box and put the bed inside. Rosaliz put the Jewelry box inside her pocket again. Rosaliz looked at her wristwatch. “Ten minutes to seven Zenia” Rosaliz shouted. She then said, “I think we should start to walk to the leaky Cauldron. Rosaliz made her way towards the door. She opened it with Zenia behind her. After they walked-out Rosaliz locked-up the store. She didn’t worry; nobody was going to steal, since she had more than one security alarms. She started to walk with Zenia by her side.

(( this is so cool!! ))

[ghost]

Smiles widely. "Yes lets go."
She watched Rosaliz pick out a bed, and shrink it. Then she watched her put it into a pretty jewelry box. She then opened the door and they both walked through. Zenia watched as Rosaliz locked the door. They started walking toward The Leaky Calderon. On the way Zenia explained to Rosa what her brother looked like.
"He has black hair just like me, but his eyes are brown. He is tall, and uh well thats all. You guys will get along well. He has a really good since of humor, just like you.
As they walked side by side they passed other shoppes and cafe's, the crowed was thinning out and it was easer to navigate to where they wanted to go.
They slid themselves into the packed tavern. Zenia squinted her eyes and looked around for any sign of her dear brother. Then she spotted him. He was leaning his back on the wall, looking around, and enjoying the sites.
"Shane!" Zenia yelled across the crowed room. He looked up. He gave her that smile that she wanted. She grabbed Rosaliz's hand and pulled her over toward her brother. Zenia embraced her brother and then stood back to take a good look at him. "Wow you grew your hair! It looks good!" Zenia and her brother talked a little bit about how life had been treating them. Then Zenia looked at Rosaliz.
"Oh Shane, this is Rosaliz, she is a friend from school" "Rosaliz this is my brother Shane." They shook hands and Zenia told Shane Rosa's story. After she had finished her brother stood there scratching his chin.
"I don't see why not." he said in a low voice. "We will need furniture.." "We have some." Zenia interrupted. "Well its fine by me" Shane said.
"Yes! Well Rosaliz what do you think?" She waited patently for Rosa's answer.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz walked with Zenia to the leaky Cauldron while she explained his appearance. Soon as they arrived she felt Zenia grab her arm and pulled her towards her brother. Rosaliz stood there staring at Shane. She couldn’t believe what she saw. She found him quite appealing to herself. She then was awaken from her thoughts when she shaked hands with him. She felt her checks getting hot. She knew that she was blushing. Rosaliz felt as if her heart rose into the air, as if she was walking on clouds, when Shane said that she could live with them. Rosaliz then turned to Zenia and whispered in her ear. "Wait until, we arrive home. I have So much to tell you!!! “She then answered Shane’s question by saying “I’d be delighted”. After she asked with a smile on her face “should we start leaving now?”

((Awsome!! ))

[ghost]

"Yes lets" Zenia said. she looked over at Rosaliz who's face was red...bright red. Zenia giggled as Shane led them out of the inn.
"Good thing you girls are dressed as muggles because we are going to be taking the underground train." Zenia noticed that Rosaliz had a nervous look. "Don't worry the train isn't bad at all, you'll be fine. Shane led them through his little ''shortcut'' which cut through ally ways, and across busy streets. By the time they got to the station both Rosaliz, and Zenia where cold and where shacking. they got onto a train just in time. The two girls where sitting down and had Shane's warm coat raped around them. Shane stayed standing. Then the train started. It was twenty minuets before it stopped, they got out and started walking again. But they where walking towered another train, a above ground one.
"This one will take us to the little town where our apartment is at. I usually am in Paris studying with the to work with endangered magical beasts but this is where we stay during the summer." Shane explained. Rosaliz and Zenia fell asleep, until they where prodded awake by Shane around 11:00."Almost time to get off" He said. They walked towered the parking lot and Shane picked up his car. "most wizards think that this is a waist of time but there neat." Shane stated. they drove, and they drove. Then they reached a big building, across the street form a bakery "This is the apartment. Mainly old people live here We are like the youngest ones" Zenia explained. They worked there way up the steps. Finally they reached the top floor and Shane unlocked the door. The door opened up into the family room. It was nice with cream colored walls, a blue couch and chair. There was a stool with a radio that picked up only wizerding stations. There where also book shelves that where totally filled with books. There was also a fire place. Then where was the kitchen witch wasn't that interesting. Then there was a bathroom, Shane's room, and Zenia's room, which had dark blue walls and a black ceiling with white clouds painted on it that moved around on there own. It also had a bed, a table with two chairs, a side table two cabinets, and a closet. "I only use one cabinet, so you can use the other one, and we can share the closet..." Zenia said, then she continued, "...hope its okay for you. Its not much but I loved it." Shane came in and said, "Sweet dreams I am going to bed, we will wake up bight and early!" Zenia rolled her eyes. "So how do you like it?"

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Shane mentioned that they were going to take the train. Rosaliz felt a little awkward. Rosaliz shivered by the time she got to the station. Rosaliz sat down, along with Zenia. Then she noticed that Shane put his jacket on top of them. Rosaliz started to blush again. ‘I can get use to this…no, no, no, control yourself Rosaliz you’re going to be living under his roof, so stop acting like a little girl.’ She thought, having a fight in her own head. She was awoken from her thoughts when she noticed the train, made a sharp stop. Rosaliz got up and fallowed Shane. After they made it on the train, she started to daze off. She was quite tired of a days work. She didn’t know if Zenia was awake put she was pretty sure she had been sleeping to. When they arrived at the parking lot. She heard Shane mentioning about his car. Rosaliz started at it. She swallowed hard. Well the last time she’d been in a car was with her mother. Then she remembered her mother died in a car accident. She started to shake; she began to get really anxious. She felt a tear go down her, face. Then she thought to her self ‘stop being a ninny just get I the car.’ Rosaliz went in. She took the seat belt as fast as she could, and fastened it on. Rosaliz remembered that she told Zenia that her mother died, but she didn’t tell her that she did in a car crash. By the time she finished dozing in her thoughts
She heard Zenia explain about the apartment. She looked around. It had such a comfy home fell to it. After she heard Shane say that he was going to bed, and Zenia asked her if she liked it. “I love it, it’s like a dream come true…at least I’m not lonely here as I was when I was in the wizarding world. I’ll sleep on the couch tonight, so then in the mourning Shane can do the spell that would increase your rooms volume….I have so much to tell you but it’s a little past one, and I need to sleep…” She then thought back of what she did today. Then she thought about Shane's car again. Rosaliz tried to hold a tear back, but it came-out. She started to sob in front of Zenia. Rosaliz didn’t want to since it showed a sign of weakness. Rosaliz stood there crying. She wondered if she woke Shane up from her sobbing. She knew that she wasn’t going to get any sleep during that night.

(( um...I just suffered a death in the family a while ago, but I was totally different..I didn't sob all the time. Only at the burial. But I recently have nightmares .....
ANYWAYZ this is so taotally going to rule, it's so fun role playing ))

[ghost]

Zenia stood there for a second completely unaware of what to do.
"Uh um Rosaliz...are you okay"Zenia whispered anxiously. Well of course she is not okay she crying, she thought. She closed the bedroom door and led Rosaliz to the bed and beckoned her to sit down.
"I'm sorry is it something I did? Zenia left Rosaliz on the bed and quickly went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When she came back with the water Rosaliz sobs slowed. Zenia put her arm around the shaking girl and listened to Shane snore. Rosaliz stooped crying after a while, Zenia said, "I am so sorry if I did anything wrong, what is it...you can tell me." She waited anxiously for Rosaliz's answer.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz sat there looking at Zenia. She then said "It's to much to explain" she said. Rosaliz then had a sudden pause of silence while she thought. "Tommarow night I explain, just not right know...because I'm really tired. Where can I sleep?" She looked at Zenia, trying not to let her eyelids, close.

[ghost]

Zenia looked at Rosaliz for a minute.
"Are you sure..." Zenia started then stopped she didn't want to force Rosaliz to say anything. "You can sleep in the family room until we get the bed put together. I will sleep there too."
Zenia got out blankets, pillows, and what ever else they might need. She let Rosaliz sleep on the couch and she got the chair which reclined back. Once she settled herself in Zenia said.
"Goodnight Rosaliz, sleep well." She waited for any kind of a reply, but when she didn't get on she looked over and saw the Rosaliz was already fast asleep, so she laid back and did the same.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Rosaliz was glad, that she already, that it was time to fall asleep. She made her way towards, the family room. She was glad, that she could sleep. She laid down on the couch, and closed her eyes; she was exhausted. Rosaliz opened her eyes….It was dark in the room. She took out her arm from under her covers. Her wristwatch said it was, 4 in the mourning. It was about the hundredth time, she looked at it. She twisted and turned, on the reclined couch. Her conscience was bothering her, about she should tell Zenia or not, about the news. She then tried to fall asleep but she couldn’t. So she got up from her bed, and walked towards Zenia. She started shaking her. “Zenia wake-up she whispered… “Wake-up” she said again, hearing Shane’s snoring in the back round.
