Harry Potter: Veracity and Maelstrom (COMPLETED/ENDED)

Ruger Seoreman


With the weight of pleasing his family and making them proud on his shoulders, and the nervousness of going to Hogwarts for the first time. Ruger vigourously packs his things, and gets ready to go to Diagon Ally.


Once he finished packing up


"I'll come back for this stuff later, but first, I'm going to buy my necessity's first." As he is feeding his pet Robin, Lory that is in the cage making all kinds of noises


"This is why I keep you in the other room, you're too loud some times."


As he puts on his shoes with the sound of his mother rumaging downstairs.


"RUGER, COME ON HONEY ITS TIME, I HAVENT GOT ALL DAY!"


Ruger quickly runs downstairs and grabs the floo powder from his mothers hands, as well as the money he needs.


"You be careful okay Hun. I don't want you getting into any trouble right off the start"


He sighs, at the same time having a smirk on his face "Yes I know mother. Now let me go."


As he steps into the fireplace


Skip to Diagon Ally



​



His mind was filled with so many questions the moment he stepped foot in Diagon Ally. Analyzing every little thing that's going on.


He glanced at the list of items on the piece of paper he just pulled out of his pocket.


"Man, I didn't realize I needed this much stuff." He says as he begins to walk around and continues to glare at the wonderous things around him.
 
Baldhart Clotilde


Hart hummed, hand on her chin as she examined the owls. This was pretty shady, but she wasn't complaining. Her new friend/conspirer was true to their word, these owls were quite different. Slowly making their way through the rather obviously flashy owls, she spotted one with a bit of gold feathers. Leaning closer to the cage, she noted the slightly hunched back and that evil glint in it's eyes. Reminded her of her Great Aunt Grenda. Letting a grin crawl onto her face, let out an affirmative hum and exclaimed, "This is the one. He's got that angry look in his eyes." Leaning even closer, she muttered, "I'm gonna name you Alter Furz..." Her native language accenting her low voice as she let out a small laugh.
 
"I don't know what that means, but it sounds regal as all hell. Allow me to take care of that for you." Alex said, walking over to the attendant. With just a few words, they were clear, and walking out of the store. "Owls are easy to take care of. Just leave them in the Owlery during the school year, feed em and let em out during summer. What else is on the list that you haven't gotten?" He asked cheerfully. He was making as many new little recruits as he could. The younger, the better. "Wand, robes, gloves, cauldron?"
 
Baldhart Clotilde


Hart laughed. "It does, doesn't it?" She replied to the comment on the name. She decided not to tell him it meant old fart in German. Hart looked up at the older wizard and gave him a wide smile. "Thanks for doing this, I'm not sure how much an owl would have actually cost." She glanced down at her meager stash of coins. Skipping alongside Alexander, she took out her list. "I have my uniform... So that leaves my course books, cauldron, vials, scales, gloves and wand I think.." She frowned down at her list. These books better not be expensive.

Alex hesitated. "Well, they can be. But I have quite a few connections, just about everywhere. I can't get you much more for free, but I can get you quite a bit off." He offered, smirking. Let's start with the fun part. Ollivander's is just over there, let's get the first year a wand, then we'll go get the rest of the supplies." He said, showing her the way to Ollivander's wand shop.
 
The Knight siblings had already dispersed around Diagon Alley. With the older children running off to find their friends and the younger ones sticking together to find their school supplies. Both Victoria and Mathew Knight were missing their wands, books and ingredients for their potions, much to their delight. It wasn't like they enjoyed shopping, but the excitement of getting their supplies for Hogwarts was most certainly a wonderful feeling. "I'm telling you to go to the wand shop first, I've heard those kind of stores are always full during this time of the year and I'm not waiting in line for a wand when I can just buy one now." Victoria spoke, dragging her stubborn half-brother along with her as they made their way to the wand shop. "Fine, it's not like I can take a broom anyways. The no-broom-for-first-years is a stupid rule if you ask me. How else are we supposed to practice to join the Quidditch team next year?" Mathew complained as his sister pushed her way through the crowds to get to the shop. "Shush, don't start." The girl ordered and opened the door to the wand shop, giving the wandmaker a smile before she began trying out a wand.

Hart raised her eyebrows a bit, a couple warning bells going off in her head at the mention of how many 'connections' this new guy had. She'd met people with connections before. Not exactly the nicest people around. But whatever, this was the wizarding world, after all. Prolly just a nice guy helping out a new kid. She gazed up at the wand shop, it looked rather... quaint. Looking in through the windows she could see the masses of thin boxes, probably containing wands. She grinned as she went up to the door, seeing two other wizards inside. Hart guessed they were new too, since they didn't have wands yet. Or maybe they broke their previous one? She shrugged her shoulders at her internal question, deciding to head on in.
 
Alex followed Hart inside Ollivander's. He could see the unspoken question in her eyes. Why was this stranger being so nice? How was he so connected, able to get her a top of the line owl for no charge? And most importantly, why would he do it anyways? He left those questions brewing in her head, giving a brisk nod to Ollivander. The second the old man saw him, he split into a wide grin.


"Alexander Jeffries. Nine inches, yew, phoenix feather. Rather whippy, good for charms." He chirped.


"You've never forgotten a wand, have you?" Alex chuckled, shaking the man's hand enthusiastically. "Ollivander, this is Hart. First year, needs a new wand."


"Yes, yes, of course. Taking her under your wing, I see? Well, let's not keep her waiting." Ollivander said, nodding happily and pulling Hard into the back of the shop with Alex at their heels.

Hart watched the exchange between the two wizards. Seemed they knew each other pretty well. As she was swept into the back of the shop, she marveled at all the wand cases. So many different wands, so many to choose from. Well, be chosen from. A wizard or witch doesn't simply choose their wand. At least that's what her mother informed her. Hart felt a bit confused as to why she was being brought to the back, but, whatever. She trailed her hand over the different wand cases, feeling some shake or jump at her touch, as if they alive. "So... how is this gonna go? Do I just take different wands and see which one doesn't blow things up in my face?" She questioned the wandmaker.
 
Alex smirked at the question. He had thought the same thing. "Ollivander has a knack for things like this. He'll pick ones that seem to like you, and then one will pick you. As he really likes saying, the wand chooses the wizard, not the other way around." He informed the girl, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. As usual, he took in the scene with narrowed eyes like a hawk, not missing a single detail. Ollivander returned with a pile of boxes, placing them on the chair next to Hart.

Hart stood there awkwardly as Ollivander flew around the place, picking up and putting back wands. After a minute, the first wand was placed in her hands. "Elm..Phoenix feather...Nine inches and quite flexible." Pursing her lips, she raised her wand hand and with a swish and flick, all the boxes on the side of the wall were across the room. Ollivander muttered something as he took it from her and went about to search once more. After two more wands with varying lengths, wood, and flexibility, Ollivander placed in her hand an elm wand, 10 inches long with a dragon heartstring core and brittle flexibility. After being told to give it a whirl, she could feel herself connect with it. The magic that had turned her teacher's ruler into a snake felt.. more controllable she felt...powerful. Ollivander gave a quick nod and they both turned to Alexander.

Alex nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Fantastic." He said briskly. "You need to get to the apothecary for the rest of your stuff, right? And Flourish and Blotts? Which do you want to visit first?" He asked, running a hand through his overlong hair.
 
Angelica squealed in delight as she walked through dragon alley, a pouch of money she never knew she had clutched in her hand as she smiled. "This is amazing!" She whispered in reference, before spinning in place to view the shops, quickly moving over to Ollicanders and opening the door, pausing as she noticed two kids inside. "Oh...this is the wand shop, right?"

Hart pocketed her wand, rummaging in her small coin bag before finding the correct amount of gold and placing it on Ollivander's desk. She glanced over at the very excited girl whom had just entered. She gave her a small smile and used the time to look over her list. She guessed she should get the easier to carry things first. "Flourish and Blotts, probably." She muttered up to the older wizard. It seemed he was getting a bit more impatient? Hart internally shrugged and turned her attention back to the scene before her.


Addressed: Alex, Angelica @UnknownOrigin @Altaynna
 
She nodded in thanks, quickly moving up to the counter and smiling. "Hi, I need a wand?" Ollicanders smiled his particular smile, before moving off to grab a wand.


"First year at hogwarts?" Angelica nodded silently, watching him pull out the king thin case and handing it to her. She opened it, pulling out a wand. "Cherry, unicorn horn, 12", slightly springy." She gave it an experimental wave and watched a vase go flying into the air, smashing on the wall across from it. She winced, quickly putting down the wand.


"No matter..." He turned, grabbing another wand case and handing it to her. "Sycamore, dragon heartstrings, 13" and unyielding." She waved it and a burst of fireworks shot into the air. She smiled happily and paid him, quickly exciting the shop before running into a boy. She fell down, staring up at him.


"Sorry..."

"Ah, it's fine. Here." Alex offered the girl his hand, pulling her to her feet. "I'm Alex." He said politely. "Hart here is in your year. We were just about to go to the Apothecary, you need anything from there?" He cleared his throat.


@Altaynna @Nudge
 
"I do actually." She cringed, staring down at her hands. "I'm really sorry, I should probably pay more attention." She blushed, before smiling again, lighter this time. "I'm Angelica. Angelica Hamil." She shot Hart a smile. "Nice to meet you. And what year are you in?"


@UnknownOrigin @Nudge
 
Baldhart Clotilde


"It is very nice to meet you too, Angelica." Hart gave the new girl a smile and a little wave fro where she stood, fussing over her list as she checked off some things.


(I have to go it's getting late for me. I don't mind if you guys just drag me along to get my stuff in the RP)

"Seventh. My last year. Then I can really mess some stuff up. If you ladies could wait one moment, I have to... Talk to a friend of mine over here." Alex said, smiling charismatically before walking briskly over toward a shady looking wizard in a black cloak. They spoke for a few moments before the wizard walked off, casting a look behind him, and Alex returned to the girls. "Sorry about that. Old buddy of mine. Apothecary, we go."
 
Angelica shrugged, eyeing her new wand case. "Thanks for this, I don't really know what I'm doing, I grew up around muffles." She blushed again, before quickly speaking. "I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, I'm just new and don't understand anything and thank you for helping me okay I'll shut up now." She snapped her mouth shut, her face burning red. She smile nervously at the ground, obviously fascinated, excited and nervous all at once.


@UnknownOrigin @Nudge
 
Alex laughed. "It's nothing to be embarrassed about. But it's muggles if you're going to call them that. My father is a muggle, and my mother died, so I know the feeling. I'll show you around, and when you get on the train, you can sit with other first-years. Most people sit with their years, but I can break the rules a bit if you're scared. I'll protect you." He teased, nudging her lightly as the trio made their way toward the apothecary. Many shady looking wizards walked past, exchanging a quick nod with Alex before walking off, not making eye contact with anyone else. "But a spell you should learn right off the bat is Expelliarmus. It'll disarm your opponent, give you a quick headstart. Try not to get in any duels. Do your homework." He advised.
 
Angelica laughed, elbowing him back as she responded. "Thanks for the advice, but wouldn't you rather sit with your friends? I mean, I may be little, but I'm fierce." She laughed, running a hand through her ivory locks. "I'm going to study everything I can, thank you so much for the advice!"


@Nudge @UnknownOrigin
 
"I don't have friends. I have business partners. Mutual companions, maybe. What you need is a friendly seventh year, ahem, who can help you with your lessons. Both of you. The more help you have, the easier this ordeal will be, and the sooner you'll be free to go out and be an Auror or some other amazing witch." He murmured, smirking once again.
 
Angelica regarded him for a moment. "Well...that isn't creepy at all..." She said, before arching an eyebrow. "And in that case, perhaps I should ask around to see if I can find a friendly seventh year." She teased him, smiling innocently. "I'm sure I'll be absolutely amazing. Maybe prime minister? Who knows."she laughed, a small skip in her step.
