Welcome to Gaia! ::

A second year Gryfindor boy comes walking into the great hall, he has a calm almost emotionless look to his eyes as he walks along. Following along right behind him is his sister a first year Gryrifindor, unlike him she is looking around with a mixture of excitement and nervousness in her eyes.
The two of them sit a short ways away from Ginny and the others, the boy looks over slightly at Ginny. "Another Weasley I see, well I do hope you do show some more talent then your brother Ronald." He says to her.

"Not at all, I do have respect for what your father does. There's not too many pure bloods that actually care about muggles...." He says looking away, his sister looks up at him and touches his arm. He looks over at her and smiles softly, then looks back at Ginny. "My name is Alteric Jeske and this is my sister Shanna." He says with a smile.

Alteric nods his head some, "It may be interesting if you share the same talents of your eldest brothers."

[[at school so no pretty pictures]]

"Sorry, spaced out there a bit. I'm Artemis Ollivander Rosier, Ollivander's apprentice, that's why I had that book of yours." She turned to look at the other boy who had come over, looking at him with an arched eyebrow, "You know, a talent is a quality that someone sees in another but is merely a image that they themselves wish they had, aye? Ye are basically saying that they have talents that you wish you had bu tdo not posses which is completely ridiculous since everyone has talents, even if they are just images...which is rediculous..." she paused, grinning at him.

Artemis shrugged at her, "Yeah...maybe...but a name is just that, a name. DNA doesn't follow with a name. It may follow with blood, but whether you accept that blood depends on you. Reject you blood though and reject yourself. I suppose though you have to accept that blood...even if you want to reject it. I mean, it's not like you can just rip away half of yourself..." she said, seeming to debate with herself (not in a crazy way, in a Jack Sparrow kind of way). "What was your question again?"

"Oh yes, he was my 'official' father, not that it matters. I never met him. Ollivander raised me, but he wouldn't let me change my name." She shrugged looking nonchalant, "Not that it matters. Like I said...sort of, a name is a name. Why, my dad didn't do anything to ye and yours right? If he did, I'm terribly sorry and I do hope you don't try to attack me...or send howlers. They hurt my ears."

Alteric laughs softly, "I do not mean George and Fred, I mean of Bill and Charlie. Their talent is well known to those who know where to look for it." He says with a sly smile, Alteric then looks over at Artemis. "They do indeed have great talents, but I do have some of my own talents that many do not have." He says then turns back to his sister, who was tugging on his sleeve some. "What is it Shanna?" In a voice so low that only Shanna could clearly hear him, she then leans up closer to him whispering into his ear. As she is whispering to him, Alteric's eyes drift over to Artemis again. "I know Shanna, you do not need to fear her as long as I am around." Alteric whispered back to her.
