Blake had gotten the ok from his parents to go to Hogsmeade alone. They forced him to take his wand and some money from them. The money he didn't mind he needed to buy some new things anyway but he had serious doubts they any death eaters would attack Hogsmeade. Thomas knew whose idea being his wand was to begin with, it was his almost crazy grandma. Blake brought it just so he could stop hearing them talk about what might happen which some reasons seemed as crazy as his grandma. Blake finally got to Hogsmeade never so glad to get out of the house before in his life. Blake walked from shop to shop buying a few things he needed for school. He would have gone to Diagon Alley but it was still closed cause of the attack.
Blake walked out of one of the shops with a bag full of quills one he even used half his money on because it was self writing which he almost died when he saw in action. Blake looked around Hogsmeade, it seemed to have more people in it. He guessed it was because Diagon alley was closed. Blake then turned to see three kids almost right beside him. two were picking on one of them for something. His listened closer to hear that the kid being picked on had a slow broom. Blake just smiled and turned to the kids. "You know some of the best players in Quidditch started with that broom." The other two kids now started asking if they could ride his broom then they ran off together. "Kids they can be so dumb at times." Blake said laughing talking to himself. then turning almost bumping into someone. " Sorry I wasn't paying attention there." Blake said with an embarrassed smile.
(OOC: Yes the old bump into someone entrance.)

Terra strolled Hogsmeade feeling utterly alone. Of course, she was the only underage witch in her family; the only other one was her mother, who had practically abandoned the desire to be a witch. She had become very muggle-ish which annoyed Terra thoroughly. She understood how her mother wanted to keep the marriage with her father at a cool point but couldn't she at least go shopping with her only daughter? Terra entered the Quidditch shop and looked around. Not many kids went to this shop but Terra was surprised to find. It was probably because of the attack and everyone was going in tight groups. She paused and glanced with longing at the Firebolt before exiting. She had no idea what had driven her inside but she didn't dwell on it. The next thing she did was go to the store that held Potions supplies, something that she needed direly. Picking up what she needed, Terra bustled to the counter and placed the money on the counter. Once that done, she exited the shop quickly. She didn't like being alone, it made her feel unwelcome and possible stared at even more. She swallowed hard before looking around. Suddenly something ran into her sending Terra to the ground. It hurt rather bad but with seven brothers confined in a house together she was quite use to it. She looked up at her bumper and saw a boy about a year or two older then herself. She picked herself up.
"Oh, no problem. I wasn't hardly looking either." she offered him a kind smile before dusting herself off. She tossed her long red hair that had fallen over her face and it swished back to the place it was supposed to be: he back. Running her hands through it slowly to make sure it had no knots, Terra smiled at the boy. She was very obsessive with her hair lately; it was precious to her and she wanted it to look good. Laughing lightly, she held out her hand to the boy. "I'm Terra Carlson, Ravenclaw third year. Who are you?" she asked politely, waiting for him to shake her hand in greetings.

Will glanced in the cracked mirror before nodding his approval. Honestly, all he was doing was going shopping and the orphanage was saying that he should be crisp and neat. He blanched at the nearest Teacher before running a hand through his hair, causing it to become rather messy again. The Science Teacher sighed with disgust and dismissed him. Will smiled angelically at them before turning sharply and opening the door to step outside in the bright sunshine. He grabbed a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on the bridge of his nose. He always had dark sunglasses because it went so well with his dark complexion. He transfered his walk to a strut as he moved toward the small van that would take him to Hogsmeade.
It was rather fascinating how many people were in Hogsmeade now. Especially after the Diagon Alley attack. Will had thought that people would be afraid to wonder now that Death Eaters were rampaging everywhere. Will shook his head but did notice one thing different. The groups were traveling in tight-knit groups. Everyone was except for him it seemed. He sighed at the fact that he had absolutely no company to keep him amused. He stroked his chin thoughtfully before entering a shop full of interesting quills to buy. He bought five considering he had completely none left and then left quickly. He was about to walk over to the Quidditch Shop and have a look around when he saw a young girl get bumped into by an older boy only a bit younger then Will. He shook his head, slightly amused. Walking over quickly he smiled genuinely, looking first at the red-head girl and then at the boy.
"Having fun?" he asked while watching the girl brush himself off. He smiled again before turning to the both of them at large. "I'm Will Senetta. Ravenclaw sixth year. You look slightly familiar." he added, looking back to the girl with a raised eyebrow. "Are you in Ravenclaw?" he turned back to the both of them before looking around. "Were you two together or did you just happen to bump into each other?" Will asked, wondering if they had been part of a group.

Terra waited for the boy to take her outstretched hand when yet another stranger came up to them and introduced himself after making an odd comment. "Being bumped into isn't what I'd call fun," Terra replied sharply, surprising herself. Why did she just act so....mother like? She frowned and looked back at the older boy with narrowed eyes. He didn't look familiar to him one bit. Was he supposed to? She looked back at the other to see if he had recognized the stranger. Raising an eyebrow slightly, Terra turned back to the boy who called himself Will. "Terra." she introduced before shaking his hand stiffly. For some reason she didn't like his cockiness. Most people would but she just didn't. It was so unlike her and the way he held himself...You could tell he was hot-headed. Glaring at him, Terra took her hand back quickly and tucked it in her jean shorts pocket.
"No, we weren't in a group. What does that have to do with anything?" she asked before flicking her bangs out of her eyes. Darn hair, it always got in her way these days. Keeping herself as far away from Will she smirked coldly at him. She was just having a rather bad day and he happened to make it come out; what with his apparent crooked smile. Wrinkling her nose in distaste, Terra held herself high with dignity. "Yes, I'm a Ravenclaw too. Fourth year now. I suppose that's how we have seen each other." she shook her head before turning away from the two of them. She still had some work to do but with these two it might slow her down. She turned back to them with a small smile, not caring about her shopping at the moment.
"I guess you two weren't hurt in the attack?" she asked casually as though talking about the weather. She sighed rather unhappily. She had been attacked in the Alley and it hadn't been pleasant. That was the only thing she could think of at the moment. She just felt the need for conversation and that had stuck in her mind.
