Ahhh okay. Well then... never mind. Lol.

So, it sounds like we have moved on to meeting up at the Portkey, yes? Maybe a new post for Elise is in order...

Clara Boyce

Name: Clara Boyce

Appearance:

Clara stands at five foot six, with long brown hair that curls slightly, and grey eyes. She is more on the slender side, but has some meat on her bones.

Age: 27

Position: Librarian in Training/ Magic user

Former Employment: DJ

Short Bio: Clara was born to two college professors, so the burden on the young girl had some high expectations. So while she was really smart, she did the one thing that most kids did, and rebelled. While she was smart, and tested in the genius level of IQ, she never did her homework, bombed tests on purpose, and just basically meandered through school. The only thing that brought her joy was music. She picked up two instruments, the piano and the violin.

Of course, as music was the one thing she loved, she eventually became a DJ, while still being very smart. She chose to go through community college as well, realizing she couldn't devote herself to her music her entire life, but her parents were not exactly pleased by her choice of school. However, their relationship has gotten worse as she refused to go for a four year degree, and just went after for her associate degree, so now they no longer talk.

Clara knows there is more in the world than just learning, even if that is all her parents might focus on. As much as she loves being a DJ, she would happily jump on the chance to do more in the world and learn more about it.

I will work on a CS later, but I would like to reserve/ show my interest for a magic user type, like Cassandra, so a New Librarian, if that is alright?

Elise Reed and Mary Winthrop

Elise wandered around Diagon Alley for a while, wishing she had a better way to stay in contact with her cousin. They had agreed to meet up the day before, but not a where, and not a when. She looked around, and decided to check the ice cream parlor first, and when she didn’t find Mary there, she decided to try the bookstore. Both her cousin and herself loved books, so it would have made sense to check Flourish and Blotts.

Mary was leaning against a bookshelf near the front flipping through a book, one that looked like it was about advanced transfiguration. “Mary! There you are!” Elise walked over to her cousin and looked the book over. “Any good?”

“It doesn’t seem to have anything on Crinus Altitudo though.” Mary wrinkled her nose, and placed the book back in an empty spot between a book about Animagus, and the textbook Advanced Transfiguration.

“I see. So, how have you been, how was the beach?” Elise gently wrapped her arms around her cousin in a hug. It had been a few weeks since they had seen one another, and Elise had missed her cousin/ best friend. Mary gave a small hiss.

“A bit sunburned actually,” she said as she extracted herself from the hug. “I had a total blast though, it was very relaxing. I taught dad Exploding Snap. How about you?”

“Oh, sorry.” Elise pulled her hands back to her sides and grimaced a bit. “I’m glad to hear that it was relaxing. I’m doing alright, mostly just did some pre-trip shopping, tried to have mom stop fretting over me a bit, and brush up on some of my language skills, though grandma still says I speak Cantonese like a baby.” She laughed a bit at that and smiled. “So, is Uncle Andrew with you?”

“Ha, good luck getting your mom to stop fretting.” Mary grinned, and then at Elise’s question about Andrew she frowned a bit. “I might have been a bit too excited about taking the Knight Bus, and well, he’s in his room trying to sleep it off.”

“She was doing it up until I apparated here. She wanted to make sure I had enough scarves. I’m sure she probably tucked a few things in my trunk I didn’t pack as well.” Elise laughed a bit. “Oh the Knight Bus? Dad says that driving in India is easier than being on the Knight Bus. I guess I’ll see him tonight.”

“You know, I’d probably believe him. Honestly I’m good, and have no desire to ride it ever again. Though it might mean I will have to work on my apparation and actually pass the test.” Mary gave a small shiver, ever since the time her father had side-along apparated her Mary hadn’t particularly seemed enthused with the idea of apparating.

“I can help you out if you want, but no worries. I know plenty of witches and wizards that are not fans of apparating. They use Floo powder or brooms.” Elise smiled and gently rubbed her cousin’s shoulder, but knew better than to rub too hard with a sunburn. “So, did you go over any of the French they said we should try to learn before we go to La Place du Fourmilier? Because I know I didn’t. French is hard.”

“Well dad was able to help a bit, but yeah, my accent is awful and I have no idea how letters work in French. Basically dad taught me the phrases that’ll keep me from getting arrested, let me know where the bathroom is, and a hotel.” She gave a small shrug. “Want to get an ice cream? I can teach you the phrases dad taught me.”

“That sounds really good. Let’s go ruin dinner!” Elise laughed a bit as she looked at her cousin and then went to head to the ice cream parlor with her. “My treat. Mom and dad gave me a bit of money for the trip, and promised to send more.”

“Excellent.” Mary smiled, following Elise. “Dad said he’d give me money tomorrow before we leave, I only have a few coins left from the summer money he gave me.”

After ice cream, and some wandering of Diagon Alley the two of them headed back inside of the Leaky Cauldron. There they found Elise’s Uncle Andrew sitting at a table.

“Oh good, I was just about to head into Diagon Alley to look for you two. You about ready for dinner?”

Elise looked at her Uncle and laughed a bit. “I could probably eat a little bit, but not too much. How are you doing Uncle Andrew, feeling a bit better?” She smiled as she leaned down to hug her uncle lightly, just incase he was sunburned as well.

“Yes, thank Merlin’s beard for Mrs. Longbottom’s drink concoction she brought me. I don’t want to know what was in it, but it did the trick. She could make a fortune on that drink if she sold it on the Knight bus.” He gave Elise a hug back, and once the girls were sitting he waved over Mrs. Longbottom and they ordered three butterbeers, and dinner.

“Well, she probably learned a trick or two from Professor Longbottom. He is pretty brilliant with Herbology.” Elise sat down with her uncle and cousin and thanked him for ordering dinner. Once food and drink arrived the three of them caught up for a bit and just chatted, spending some time together as a family before they would be parted the next day.

Sounds good to me if we can do it today or tomorrow.

Hogwarts World Tour

Elise was laying in the grass, idly looking at her watch for a few moments before she sat up. Today was the day, and goodness knew that she did not want to be late in any case. Also... she wouldn't want to disappoint Mary. They had made sure through letters, that they would plan to meet up at Diagon Alley the day before they were due to go to La Place du Fourmilier. She had never really been to France before, as most summers she spent with her cousin and family at either the estate, or at the beach.

"Elise? Are you out here?" She heard the voice of her mother, and Elise sat up and put back on her glasses.

"I am. I was just soaking up the last bits of home I could before leaving." She got up and headed towards her mother, and the house. "Dad still at work?" Her mother nodded. "Well, give him my love then."

"Of course. But are you sure you don't want to wait for him?"

"I promised Mary we'd meet up today. Besides, if dad really wants to say good bye, he knows I'll be at Diagon Alley and he can Floo powder there."

"Fair enough. Are you all packed up? Ready for what the weather might surprise you with? You did bring pack plenty of letter writing material yes? Scarfs? Money..."

Elise cut her mother off. "I'm fine. We've gone over what I've packed multiple times mom. I know you're worried, but please. Fret not. I'll be fine." She smiled up at her mother, and the two hugged.

"Alright, alright. So you're still going to apperate, right?" Elise nodded and went to head into her house with her mother. They headed up to her room, where her packed trunk was. However, there was the sound of a crack, as someone apperated outside of the house. "Hmm, I wonder who that is. I'll be back in a moment to help you with your trunk." Elise's mother stepped out of the room, and Elise looked around her room one more time. The familiar posters of the singers she liked, both Magical and muggle, as well as some paintings greeted her eyes. She would miss her room, and her house, and her parents. However, this was also a chance to see more of the world, and learn about all sorts of different types of healing, and different cultures.

"Hey timsam... thought I'd come home early to say good bye." Elise turned to see her father enter her bedroom, and she ran over and hugged him tightly.

"Fuchan!" Elise looked up at her father, and he laughed a bit. "I didn't think I'd see you today."

"I know, but I thought I'd come see you off. I can't make it to Diagon Alley with you, but I can say good bye, and good travels." Elise gently let go of her father and smiled.

"Xièxiè fuchan." Elise said and smiled, and then the three of them picked up her trunk, and went to head outside of the house. There was a spell on the Winthrop Estate, so no one could Apperate directly into the house. Once outside, she gave both her parents another round of hugs, and she looked at them both lovingly. "I'll write to you when I can."

"No sense in forcing it. Write when you can, but go out, have fun. See the world, no use in worrying about the two of us." Elise's mother gently patted her head, and Elise's father nodded.

"Alright, thank you both, again, for letting me do this." Elise pulled out her wand and looked at her parents. She waved at them both, and then swished her wand and focused. She was apperating to Diagon Alley, with her trunk. She arrived in front of the Leaky Caldron and smiled. She gently dragged her trunk in, and smiled. She spoke with the innkeeper, and got a room, and hauled her trunk up. She looked around the Leaky Cauldron, and then went to set out on her way in to Diagon Alley.

She left a message so that in case either Mary or Andrew went to look for her, they would know where she was. She then headed out, tapped on the bricks with her want, and made her way to Diagon Alley, hoping to find her cousin there.

Edit: kat as an excuse for not having the cousins show up together I think I'll have Mary at a sea side cabin with her father for the break between school and the trip. If that's cool, unless you had plans.

@Kirah

Sounds good to me.
