A fine summer's morn (open)

[Kate Clarke]

The sun had risen before Kate was up. She rolled out of bed and straight onto the floor. She laid there for a bit wondering when her brain would realise that she needed to move. Eventually she did.

She wandered over to her messy trunk and pulled out an old pair of jeans and a band t-shirt that she had bought last summer and never worn. She didn't even know who they were to be honest, it just had an incredibly detailed logo that she wanted to copy. More recently she'd had to customise make-shift wing holes. She combed her hair, she had washed it last night, so it still had a bit of bounce to it.

She slipped into an old pair of worn out flip-flops and headed downstairs. She had missed breakfast, she knew that without looking at her watch, because the Great Hall was empty, that and her stomach was starting to complain about the lack of food.

She went back and grabbed a piece of fruit from the kitchens. She then headed out to the courtyard. She sat on one of the stone seats eating her brunch.

Ever since her encounter with Amelia she had the confidence to wear her wings out, she now knew that people wouldn't judge her. They were in bad disrepair, but she had bandages over the worst part of one wing. But all in all, they could have been alot worse. The sun caught them and they twinkled in the daylight.

Ah the sun gleaming outside, the birds chirping loudly Jacquelyn had nothing more on her mind then to spend the day outside; to bad her sisters where MIA they could not play some Faerie Quidditch. She had not seen much of then so far this year; it was strange since they where all in the same house, but Amelia was always in the dorms and Christy was defiantly out and about getting ready from the royal crowning; which was still a bit off, mind you.


Wearing a yellow sun dress and some beige Capri’s she was ready for the day. Jacquelyn flew high in the sky, she was loving being at Hogwarts. It was great to have so much going on here at once! She had made a ton of friends; most where in Ravenclaw but that was normal. She was not doing that great in her classes but who really cared about them anyway; the point was to get out and socialize.

She thought about trying out for the team but was totally thrown down having to ride the broom; Faerie style was so much better, but alas not everyone could be blessed with such a gift…

As she flew overhead she noticed another faerie; she love to talk to others who could fly; it was a common thing. Age meant nothing to her; she figured everyone would love her and if not that did not matter. She flew down from her altitude to meat up with the other person, who had her wings bandaged; she was hoping to have a person to fly with but it did not look promising.

“Hello there.” She said with an energetic tone and a large smile. Looking at her she was nothing like her sisters, or her brothers for that matter. That was what happens when their mother was a Metamorphmagus, the kids can look like anything. “I am Jacquelyn Weaver.” She said landing and extending her hand to shake. She was bright eyed and seemed like she was ready for anything. “Wonderful morn’ to be outside.” She said with delight. She was a bit of a speed demon; always going and going.

( I also play Amelia Weaver too; just to let you know. I had given up this character to someone else, but they have not used it in quite a while.)

[Kate Clarke]

Kate shook Jacquelyn's hand. She seemed very cheery, Kate supposed there was a lt to be cheery about. Kate supposed that she was Amerlia's sister, she was usually a bit shy around people, but she decided to be brave and talk to her normally, although it had taken her a while to be natural around Amelia, she was glad she had. And Jacquelyn seemed just as nice as Amelia.

'Hey, I'm Kate Clarke. Yes, the weather has cheered up recently.' She laughed internally at herself, she always did when she found the topic of conversation was weather. When she was younger she used to be amused by the fact older people regularly talked about the weather, and now she herself did it.

[Jacquelyn Mind Weaver (Away)]

Jacquelyn smiled, “It is a pleasure to meet you Kate. It is lovely, the warm sun flying in the air. What happened to your wing?” She was such the first year, bright eyes, and ready to ask any question, no matter what it entailed. “You can call me Jackie, or Lyn, my sisters call me a little crazy. What year are you?” The young girl was a Ravenclaw though, as much as she would rather go and play outside or hang with friends she always wanted to know more and more. Nothing was ever enough. Today the subject just happened to be Kate.

[Kate Clarke]

Jackie was certainly full of beans. 'Yes, I have had the pleasure of meeting Ameila, she is nice,' she said with a smile thinking about when she and Amelia had met up. That als brought back the memories of her wings.

'I used to have to hide my wings. You know living in the muggle world. But here I don't. But they were in hibernation for so long they are really weak and damaged one side. I'm a Hufflepuff and a 6th year.'

Amelia had never really told Kate about her sisters in that much detail. It was interesting to meet Jackie. She wasn't at all what se expected. She wondered what the other sister could be like.

'Tell me Jakcie... What's your middle name?' Amelia had explained about the Weavers' middle names. She was curious as to what Jackie's power was.

[Jacquelyn Mind Weaver (Away)]

Jacquelyn grinned as Kate spoke, she listened intensively she was almost like she was high strung on too much sugar, but it was not that bad. She was a refreshing sprit of joy. “Gosh Amelia and me are so different. That is unless you feed her some sugar snaps then she is a bit hyper.” Jacquelyn said with certainty. It was a thing with sisters; you saw every side of them.

“That is so sad! You have not flown? How long has it been? I don’t think I could go a day with out it. Then again I have never met any muggles either, my eldest brother has, but he too said he hid his wings. I heard they are quite the spectacle those muggles.” Jacquelyn smiled as she had read some books on the strange people.

“Hufflepuff hu? My oldest brother was in Huffelpuff, he is done with school though. But with two other sisters already in Ravenclaw and my brother too I don’t think I had much of a choice. Not that I chose anyhow. I am only in my first year; Christy, my eldest sister, is in your year. Maybe you two will meat in a class or two some time.”

“Oh you defiantly have heard about the Weaver family then.” She giggled. “I suppose Amelia beat around the bush about it, being a seer and all she is such the trouble maker when it comes to things like that. My middle name is Mind. I am the weaver of the mind.” She giggled. She was not by any means that good at her power but she as getting there. “My sister Christy is a Fire Weaver. Now that is totally cool too.” She said with a smile.

[Kate Clarke]

'I have not flown most of my life too be honest. But I'm hoping to try after everything has healed.' Kate listened to Jackie intently, she would have quite liked a family that embraced magic, but she was quite happy here for the moment.

'I have not had the pleasure of meeting Christy yet, but I'm sure our paths will cross at some point.' It went quite for a little while, but Kate had already learnt that wouldn't last long with Jackie around.

[Jacquelyn Mind Weaver (Away)]

Jacquelyn opened her mouth in shock, “Really?!” She said, she loved to fly, almost as much as she loved to talk. Even she loved to escape it all and fly high into the sky where no one could see her; that and it was a great hiding place. “Well any time you want to fly just let me know, I am totally game for that!” she said with a great large smile. “Wings heal rather fast, At least mine do; I have had my crashes, just be sure you watch where you fly, because Amelia is always flying into things. She flew right into the pillar in the main entrance of the palace last week. She was reading one of her silly books.” Jacquelyn said with a laugh remembering when it happened.

“You totally would like Christy, she is nothing like me, not like Amelia for that matter either.” She said with delight, Christy was the oldest of the girls, and was a bit more mature then the other two, it did not help hat in a few years she would ascend to be the queen, which should be a strange day.

“What do you like about Hogwarts? I mean it has to be different then the muggles you where with. I mean I live not far from here so this is like a second home, even if it is only my first year I visited my sisters here often before that.” She continued on again and again. Some people got a bit thrown off by her rambling then others where just like her. She meant well and that was all that really mattered.

[Kate Clarke]

It was really sweet when Jackie offered to help Kate fly again, she hadn't quite got the confidence for that us yet, but she was sure that she would ask Jackie, or even Amelia soon.

'Hogwarts was a bit of an experience when I first joined, it was so different, bit of a culture shock to say the least. But it was god when I realised that people are completely non-judgemental.' It was true, no-one had even mentioned anything to her when suddenly her wings appeared from about half a year of keeping them under wraps. 'I take it your enjoying it?'

((ooc: Sorry, didn't really know what to write, lost my muse at the end!))

[Jacquelyn Mind Weaver (Away)]

Don't worry about it! I know the feeling.


Jacquelyn smiled with delight, she was sure that Kate would have the best time here at the school, and the idea of not being here was completely unthinkable to Jacquelyn. “Well you got to think we have tons of different creatures that live near the school or go to it. I mean some of the first year muggle born students are surprised but they too get used to it. I of course grew up with it so it was nothing strange to me, but I had a girl in my potions class ask me why I had wings! I mean a giggled and told her that I was a faerie.”

In fact Jacquelyn had told her practically the entire life story of the faerie history, which was until the professor yelled at her and took away five points from the house. She still needed to learn when the appropriate time was for chitchat and the time to learn.

“Hogwarts has everything, and I mean everything. Though you should be aware that not everyone is that cool with faeries. Since the palace is in the forest we get a little razed about it. I mean there are some dark and scary creatures that live in there. SO if you ever wanted to go tot eh faerie domain you totally should have someone who knows the way. Some of the creatures in there don’t care who you are they want you for lunch.” Jacquelyn sounded like she knew that one from experience and that she did. Her and Amelia had their run ins with trouble but they learned young that your don’t stray from the faerie domain.

[Kate Clarke]

((ooc: I'm sorry I missed your post :S)

'I have met creatures, they didn't know I was a faerie mind you, and I could have quite easily been their dinner.' Kate hadn't had any experiences like that since she had been at Hogwarts luckily, but a creature, which at the time she coulnd't place but that later turned out to be a lycan, had attaced her.

'What's the faerie part of the wood like?' Kate inquired, she had often wondered, one day she may even dare venture there.

[Jacquelyn Mind Weaver (Away)]

ooc: That is okay I don't mind. I have a mouthful comming in this post, lol

Jacquelyn grinned, “Yes I too have almost been dinner if it wasn’t for my brother looking out for me. That is not an experience I wish to repeat mind you. Though I don’t have to tell you all this. I mean you already know about that.” Jacquelyn was such a rambler it was hard to imagine that she had already found people to dislike her, but in her eyes they where just a bit jealous of her princess status.

That was a dangerous topic for Kate to start up, Jacquelyn could talk for hours about the palace and the woodland going on until someone either walked away, or said that was enough. She had a wide grin on her face as she took in a deep breath and started to talk a little faster but still able to understand the young girl. “Oh, the palace is quite lovely. It is huge and all the faeries are welcome to live in the palace if they want to. We have a few families in there and with the help of some magic there is always room to add another room on to the place. But the faerie woodland is to die for, not literally of course, but it is absolutely beautiful. Amelia has taken it upon herself for the gardens that are around the palace, but everything is magical and beautiful. It is the only protected place in the forest that students can even go but they often don’t because you have to go threw a rather dark part of the woods first.”

Jacquelyn had not even started to explain the place as she normally did, she jumped from topic to topic, and her explanation would be rather jagged and often people where left a bit more confused then when she started but if they saw the place they knew everything that she said.

“The entire place is like a garden, there is a stream running right trough the garden, two waterfalls around the woodland and so much more. You should really see it sometime. It is best to get there by flight though, that way you don’t have to make your way through the forest but there are ways to do that as well, it is not easy but can be done. Amelia has some really cool flowers growing around the palace, and the woodland has enchanted wilderness that grows and moves shifts own accord. Makes it easy to get lost mind you. But that is not really that big of a deal the tress and stuff love to confuse people.”

Jacqulyn was ready to go on and on but took a breath after that and let Kate take a moment if she wanted to say something.

[Kate Clarke]

((ooc: I was waiting for muse to hit - but I still really don't know what to say - so here goes))

Kate's train of thought broke when Jackie stopped, she had been imagining it so clearly. She laughed at felt a little silly, she wouldn't have been surprised if now Jackie thought her completely dim.

'Sorry. World of my own,' she laughed.

[Jacquelyn Mind Weaver (Away)]

Jacquelyn smiled, people often did that to her, she just rambled on and on about things, they tend to go off into their own world. “That is all right, I don’t mind.” She said with a large smile on her face. It was like a child who had too much sugar, enough to keep her going for hours and hours, but Jacquelyn could go on for days and days. That was if someone let her, most people either left or in her sisters case fall asleep.

“Anyways you should really some to see the woodland sometime. Amelia is there way too often, she tends the gardens. Me I Love it here, and why work if you don’t have to? I mean really! That girl never stops, she keeps going and going. Sometimes you just need to relax, and take a break from all the fuss of work, and homework. O! That reminds me I have like three essays to do for classes. That totally is not cool. How on earth do people keep up with all this homework. Life should be about fun, not work.” She had trailed off once again to another topic, and her homework would not get done until the last moment, but that was Jackie after all, the fireball of energy and ever wanting to do what she is told.

A slight breeze picked up as the time was fading past them, and the morning became later and later, soon it would be the afternoon, and Jackie would have to get her work done, but she would rather sit here and talk to Kate.

[Kate Clarke]

Kate had to laugh when Jackie mentioned Amelia and her work ethic. It was Amelia's amazing work ethic that had helped Kate pass a piece of coursework. She decided not to tell Jackie that. She may think her lazy or anything.

'I suppose there can always be fun after work But I do know what you mean. It all seems to come at once, or nothing at all. More likely to be loads of work at once,' she said with a small chucke.

'We should probably get some work done if we are both up to ours eyes in it...' Kate did not want to be the reason she and Jackie got into trouble fo lak of homework.
