Closed rp, Tracy and Peyton

[goblindabeaker]

Tracy seems to remember being asked at her Sorting to send various Owls out.

She can't remember who to, so there is a Tracy in the grounds, onna bench, onna stick, with parchment and a splotchy biro she had with her when she arrived here.

Doodling.

Peyton hadn't been doing much recently. In fact, she had only been drawing. She hadn't left her room for a good few days, and she was sure she hadn't eaten anything either. However, she definitely wasn't up for eating and so decided to go for a walk.

While crossing the grass, she noticed a girl she recognised from a sorting. There had been so many new applicants recently that she couldn't quite remember her name. So instead of calling her attention, Peyton casually walked over and offered a smile and a 'Hey'.

[goblindabeaker]

'Oh, hello!' says Tracy, 'Peyton, isn't it? We met at my Sorting. I'm Tracy. The drawing girl.'

Doodle. Doodle. Draw a smiley face with curly hair and a nose piercing.

'How've you been?'

[oth_peyton]

Peyton's hair was a mess and her face was gaunt. But she wasn't about to start moaning, the fresh air had already lightened her mood.
'Great! Just been busy writing comic strips really. How's life after sorting been for you?' she said, taking a seat next to her.

Tracy looks up from her doodles. 'It's been interesting. Been wondering a lot about what actually happens here. My pattern seems to go 'Sorting, eat, Sorting, eat, sleep.' I don't have a clue about wands 'n that!'

Noticing Peyton doesn't look her best, she quiets. 'Haven't seen you in the Great Hall...'

[oth_peyton]

'What! You mean you don't have a wand yet? Well we better get you one, when class comes around the class wands are the worst! Seriously, if you want to get anywhere in this school, you need a wand! I can take you down to Diagon Alley for one, if you'd like.'

And then she tucked a loose hair behind her ear, 'I've sort of been avoiding people recently. Not for any particular reason I guess, just...' and then she shrugged.

[goblindabeaker]

'Just can't stick the little brats? Or big brats.' Tracy supplies.

'And a wand'd be absolutely lovely, but I haven't got any money. Even back...back in my world. I'm skint.' She makes a face.

'So are the class wands like school paints that everyone's mucked up?'

[oth_peyton]

'Something like that,' she laughed. 'There are some people here that are just better avoided.'

Then she took Tracy's hand and with an excited grin she said, 'Well then we call it a gift. I'd only waste it on drugs or something bad like that,' she laughed, making it sound like a joke.

'Nobody likes using class paints, do they now? Come on, we needa find a fireplace!'

[goblindabeaker]

'Wow! Am I seriously getting a wand?' Tracy burbles excitedly. 'This is so cool! Thank you!'

Speeding up, she points to a random door. 'I think a fireplace is around there somewhere!'

[oth_peyton]

'You're seriously getting a wand!' Peyton laughed. She missed the excitement people got when proper good things happened, and this was exciting. 'And some new drawing stuff too, 'cause I needa jump into a shop for some anyway.'

Giving the door a quick knock to ensure it was empty, she entered and looked for the fireplace. 'Cool, this'll do I guess. Follow me, yeah?' Handing her some floo powder, she jumped in shouting 'Diagon Alley' very clearly.

[goblindabeaker]

Tracy blinks. Mad girl. Mad world. Mad school.

Sprinkling in the floo powder, she jumps in with gusto, and yells 'Diagonally!'

Oops. Still...it sounds near enough.

[oth_peyton]

Peyton stood in Diagon Alley waiting for Tracy to turn up. Assuming she had made a mistake, she leaned against a wall and waited, humming 'I will follow you into the dark' lightly to herself.
Having a glance around she gathered up her bearings, deciding where to go first.

[goblindabeaker]

Peyton may hear a small voice screaming. Eventually Tracy falls out of the fireplace, sooty and not a happy bunny.

She turns round and shakes a fist at the hearth, and locates Peyton.

'That was different.'

[oth_peyton]

'I've never done a full body Floo, only to the WART studio, so it was a pretty crazy, new experience for the both of us. Still, we're here.' She gestured to the street, 'So this is how the wizards shop.' Then she grinned. 'Come on, we've got loads to do!'

[goblindabeaker]

Tracy's grin is amazingly large. 'Oh my God, oh my GOD.' (If, however, you tell her how amazed she was, later, she'll deny it.)

'Lead the way.' she says.

[oth_peyton]

'Well where would you like to go first? Get the wand, or get the drawing stuff? Or catch a bite to eat?'

Apparently having fun made Peyton hungry.

[goblindabeaker]

'Food sounds nice.' Tracy concedes. 'But the wands and drawing stuff do too...um...wand first, then eat, then drawing?' she says hopefully.
