I thought we could spend some time between Maya reading the books doing a second roleplay (y'know... getting in the background of why Mina's so evil and why Maya's so in-love with... *shudders*... SNAPE! *washes off the sin*)
Name: Mina Finn. Age: 11. House: Not chosen. School: Selected for Hogwarts. Pure-blood?: No. Pet: None. Wand: N/A. Likes: Draco Malfoy. Dislikes: No one (yet!) Bio: Mina is an orphan. Little is known about Mina's background before she came to Hogwarts (until now). This will be Mina's (and Harry's) first year at Hogwarts. So far she knows nothing about her parents. Appearance: Mina has long, golden blond hair and green eyes.

Hardy-har-har. You make it sound like being in love with heart Snape heart is a bad thing :S _________
Name: Maya Pearl Age: 10 School: Hogwarts. House: Not chosen Pet: Owl. Wand: Not Acquired. Like(s): Potions. App.: Maya has bright red hair, and dark brown eyes.
Bio: Maya's parents were full blooded wizards that fought against Voldermort some of the most well known Wizards. Her parents were considered traitors by most Death Eathers as though they were in Slytherin and the best of the best, also good friends with Lucius Malfoy, they did not become Death Eators. Instead they battled side-by-side with Dumbledore in the Order. Even after Voldemorts 'demise' her parents never let her believe for a moment, that he was truly gone. And though they never kept in contact with Lucius, Maya would see a very greasy looking man enter their home for tea with her father on rare accounts.
___ Woah, that was long.. I love Snape<33333333

You love grease? EWWWWW! _______________________________
Mina had been accepted to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary. She was a short girl with badly brushed, long golden blond hair and big green eyes. She lived alone in a small apartment. It had no visible doors or windows to the outside and because of this Mina was quite pale. The local muggle's memories had been altered by someone to make them believe there was never a flat there, since the "incident". She waited for "uncle Snape". Serverus had been acting as her legal gardian for a while now, although for the most part, Mina had been left to her own devices.
She kept her apartment tidy with little decoration. There were two bedrooms. One had a double bed and the other had two single beds. Both the bathroom and kitchen were quite clean and tidy. The living room had a small sofa, a bookcase, a trunk for her things and the spintered remains of a coffee table swept into the corner. The carpet was beige and covered in unusual stains. A few objects were strewn around the house, here and there. Mina was sat, quietly reading a book, until she heard a noise in the fireplace. ________________________________________
P.S. Crying?

NO! I LOVE SNAPE! __________
Maya stared at her parents. "Excuse me?"
"You're going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." said her father sternly. "I expect you to get in to Slytherin." he turned around leavung her alone with her mother.
"Now sweetheart."she said, softly. Well softly for her anyway, most people would consider it quite cold. "You'd best get to Diagon Alley."
Maya frowned. Most parents wouldn't let their children go to Diagon Alley alone, but her parents were different, it wasn't that they didn't care, in fact they cared so much they were sure she wouldn't get in to any mischief. With her bag of coins and the letter of acceptance from Hogwarts which held her requirements, she walked out of her house.

"Uncle Snape!" She threw her arms around him, causing his face to contort...
"Mina... Mina, let go... enough!" She looked up at him with sad eyes.
"But I get lonely. I don't like being alone."
"You're always alone. Get your things, we're going to Diagon Alley."
"Is it time already?"
"Yes and we're meeting the Malfoys so remember to be on your best behaviour."
"Yes, sir!" Mina said exitedly.
Snape sighed and guided her towards the fireplace. He took some floo powder out of a container, with the initials "A. P." inscribed into it, on the mantle. He gripped the girl by the arm like he would a sack and said clearly "Diagon Alley".

Maya was half way done. She grabbed her new robes, with Hogwarts seal embedded in them. Her parents had called the shops before hand.
Thanking the woman at the counter she walked out, only to bump in to golden haired man with a boy at his side.
She'd seen him before...
He shot her a smirk. "Well, how are we, Maya is it?"
Now she remembered.
"Hello Mr. Malfoy. I'm fine thank you."
"Where is your father?" he asked curiously.
"At home." she noticed the young boy looked awfully bored. She immediately thought he looked like a snot nosed little-
"Well, we'd better be off." said Mr. Malfoy.
"Goodbye Mr. Malfoy." she said politely and walked away.
After a few yards she stopped and turned around, she could still see them. She turned back and bumped in to a boy with dark hair and glasses.
Their noses smashed into each others.

Shortly after Maya's encounter with the Malfoys, Snape escorted Mina into the robe fitting shop.
"Greetings." He said in his usual, naisal (sp?) tone to Lucius.
"Good morning, Serverus. Ah... I see you've brought dear Mina with you. Very good. Shall I take her now?"
"Yes, do." Snape turned Mina to face him. "I'll see you Hogwarts. I expect to hear you didn't cause the Malfoy's any trouble."
"Yes, sir." He left. "Thank you for taking me, Mr Malfoy." She said in a quiet tone. Mina was nervous. This was one of the few times she'd been left with people. Diagon Alley was such a busy place it was almost over-whelming for her.
"Who's that scruffy looking thing, father?" Draco poked his head around his father's waist to get a good look at Mina. Lucius introduced them.
"Draco, this is Mina Finn. You'll hopefully be put in the same house, Slytherin of course and I expect you to look after her. Mina, this is Draco, our son. Say hello." Mina abliged, her face turning scarlet.
"Hello, Draco. Nice to meet you!" She offered her hand. Draco shook it briefly as he was expected to.
"Now, lets get you both fitted for robes." Lucius guided them to the fitting booth. As the shop assistants were fitting Draco's robes, Harry Potter walked in with Maya.

Maya walked with her new friend, apparently, he'd yet to have his robes.
"Don't worry about it Harry, I'll help you out. Come on, let's go see the Miss."
They were next in line after the Malfoys and Mina and Maya hadn't recognized them, oddly.
"Oh, take these then." the woman handed Harry a large robe. "I'll fix it up." she took Harry by the shoulder and walked him off, but not before giving someone a call to help out Maya.
"No," she argued. "I've already a robe."
"Just one?" asked the young girl. "Why, what're you going to wear whilst it's in the wash?"
Maya, not having a decent answer, let herself be lead. She was stood on a stool next to a blond haired girl, deathly pale and skinny. Which made her brilliant green eyes stand out even more.
She immediately felt a sudden warmth and like for the girl. "Hallo." she said. "My name's Maya."
She looked surprised. "Hello, I'm Mina Finn."
"Would you stop moving about Miss Pearl?"
Maya gave a bashful smile. "Are you starting Hogwarts?"
"Yes." she said slowly. "Are you?"
Maya nodded. "Both my parents were in Slytherin, so I'm also expected to get in there. But I'm not quite sure, I've read of the traits most Slytherins need and I'm not so sure I have them.. I'd probably be best of in Hufflepuff. What about you?"
Mina thought for a while. "I'd like to get in to Slytherin."

"Aren't you done with her yet? Hurry up woman!" Lucius gave Mina's fitter a quick tap on the heel with the end of his cane.
"I'm fitting as quick as I can!" The woman protested. Draco walked up to Harry.
"That scar... you're Harry Potter. You're quite famous you know. I bet you're rich! I'm Draco Malfoy. You should of heard the name Malfoy before I expect."
"I only just found out today, so no I haven't, sorry." Harry said politely, getting the impression Draco was more than a little full of himself but saying nothing. He glanced at Mina. "Is that your sister? Is she going to Hogwarts too?"
"Hmph. That scruff isn't my - "
"Draco." Lucius told him sternly. "You shouldn't say things like that about Miss Finn. She may not look much but she is a very talented young lady. Aren't you, Mina?"
"I've always been told I'm talented and special... but I'm not famous, like Harry......" She got off her stool. The fitter gave up and took the measurements she'd gotten so far to make Mina's robes so they were a little bit long for her. She offered Harry her hand. "Mina Finn!" She said brightly. Harry felt if Mina was being any cheerier, she'd phsyically glow.
A tall blond woman (Narcissa Malfoy) entered the shop. She took one look at the scruffy girl infront of her and gasped. "Goodness me! Is that Mina Finn?" Lucius nodded. "Look at her... she'll need smartening up!"

Maya felt a tad little indignant on Mina's behalf but kept quiet during the conversation.
"Sir, with all due respect," she said, coughing. "Harry and I've a lot of supplies to get."
Lucius gave her a long hard look. "I see," he said softly. "Made quick friends with the important one have we? I see you do take after your father more then your-" his tone softened. "Mother."
Maya said nothing, she could feel all eyes on her. She kept her head bowed, more out of habit then any sort of respect.
"Well, let her go on." said Draco's mother snobbishly. "We must get Draco and of course Mina, their supplies."
"Talk about stuck up." said Harry. "But still I'd prefer them to the Dursleys."
"The who?" asked Maya as they went to get their books.

Narcissa took Mina into the toilets while Lucius got the rest of the supplies they'd need with Draco. She got her brush out of her bag.
"Now lets sort out this hair of yours!" 15 minutes later, Mina's hair was smooth, sleek and in a neat bun. "There you go, Mina dear, now you really look a pretty little lady!" Narcissa told her, with a small ounce of pride in her tone. "Come along now. You'll be staying with us tonight."
She took the small girl's hand and lead her to the bookshop. After they were finished buying books... they went to the final and most important shop for a wizard or witch... the wand shop. The shop keeper gazed at Mina. "Miss Finn, is it? Hmmmm... you know your mother was about your height when she came here. So was your father. Alfonso's mother was quite a formiable woman." He said, rifling through boxes, looking for a wand.
"You knew my parents?" She asked but went unheard. Lucius put a hand on her shoulder. He whispered something to her. Mina went silent.
"12 inch Light Ash with Phoenix feather, maybe?" Mina took hold of the wand. Draws flew out of place and objects span around. "No! No! Let's see... 6 inch ivy with dragon heartstring?" Again, objects flew in all directions. "Eheh... let me think..." He took a good long look at her. "8 inch... beechwood... Unicorn hair...?" Mina took hold of the wand. She felt a rush of warmth. Nothing flew around. "Aha! Knew I'd pin it down eventually! Here you go young lady!" He handed her the wand in a box and they left (Draco had already recieved his).

Maya glared at him.
"Well, you do.."
"No I don't."
"Yes, yes, you do..."
"No I do not." she snapped, shutting up the young man at the desk.
She'd wanted an owl. He'd told her she wanted a toad. In which case she'd argued.
Then he'd suggested she take both.
Mean while Harry took Hedwig from Hagrid and thanked him, grateful.
"What do you want one like that for?" asked the young man when Maya asked for a boy owl.
"Because," Maya gritted her teeth. "They travel quicker."
"Yeah, but then your mate over there, he has an owl, righ'? What if they get together and get busy? Then you two will have to get together an-"
"Enough of that James." said an old man. Walking out. "Just give the girl her owl, you two have been at it for the better part of fifteen minutes."
"So," Hagrid gave Harry his ticket. "Catch this train, mind you don' be late! It was a joy meetin' ya Maya."
Maya smiled. "It was nice meeting you Hagrid."
"Well, I'd best be off. Take care yew two!"

Narcissa opened the door next to Draco's room. "This is where you'll be sleeping. I laid out your dinner clothes for you." She levitated Mina's trunk into the room and left her to get settled in before dinner. Mina stared at the room. Pink...
The entire room was various shades of pink. The bed spread, bed covers, pillow cases, floor, walls, the chest of drawers and the vanity table. All pink. Mina felt rather ill just looking at it. The only thing not pink was the ceiling. She unpacked the things she wouldn't need at Hogwarts and proceeded down the staircase to the dining room. She was wearing what had been left out for her. A puffy cream coloured dress that tied up at the back with a bow.
"Doesn't she look lovely?" said Narcissa. Mina felt her face burning red.
"Very nice, dear." Replied Lucius without much thought.
"What do you think, Draco, isn't she pretty?"
"If you say so, mother..."

"Thanks for letting me stay at your house Maya." said Harry, as they made their way out of Diagon Alley, after collecting theirs books and wands.
"It's OK, we've a lot of spare rooms," she stopped and turned to her right. "Well, here we are."
Harry's jaw dropped. "House? It's more like a mansion."
"Some on" Maya grinned. "I'll introduce to my parents."
They went inside and Harry was reminded of a scary movie he'd watched long time ago, when the Durleys were out one day. It started with two people- Girl and Boy- Friends, walking in to a big house((He couldn't remember how they'd got there, it was years ago.)) and ended with the girl dying and the boy left, turning in to some undead creature of the night.
He gulped.
"Mom, dad! I'm back, and I've brought a friend."
They heard a female voice, "My God Maya, how many times have we told- Is that Harry Potter?"She was staring at the scar on his forehead and Harry immediately knew she was Maya's mother.
He felt himself go red.
"What is it now?" snapped a male voice. A man came out, barely in his 30's, his dark hair falling neatly in to his yet darker eyes. He was dressed in a wizard robe, long and dark.
Harry felt uncomfortably aware of his ragged, clothes. All handed down from the Dursleys after Dudley was done with them.
"Harry Potter..." he said softly. His voice was dangerously soft. "The boy who lived, what an honor..."
Harry looked up at him and regretted it. That look in his eyes... It was inhuman. So cold, ruthless, believing themselves above all, so.. Snakelike.
"Dad, Harry hasn't got anywhere to stay. Is it OK, if he stays here until tomorrow? He's going to Hogwarts too."
Harry could hear the uneasiness in Maya's voice. Out of the corner of his eye, she saw her shudder.
"Of course he may." said Maya's mother quickly. "Show him to the Guest Room Maya, dinner is almost done."

Lucius lead Draco and Mina through the crowds, with their trolleys, to the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. "Now, walk towards it at a steady pace and I'll meet you on the other side." They walked one after the other and came out on the other side. "Draco make sure she is well taken care of. Serverus will be at Hogwarts, of course but she's also your responciblity."
"But WHY, father?!" Draco protested.
"Because I'm telling you she is." Lucius told him firmly.
* * *
They found an empty carrage to sit in and where later joined by a group of other children. Draco already knew Grable and Goyle (their parents were friends of the Malfoys) but had yet to be introduced to the other boy and girl who'd joined them.
"I'm Pansy Parkinson!" The girl announced. She fluttered her eyelashes at Draco in a very unseductive fashion. Pansy had a puggish face and dark hair. "I heard there were a lot of rich boys on the train!"
"My name is Blaise Zabini and I am very rich as well as handsome." The tall boy with dark hair and eyes said idly. "Who is this little flower?" He asked, pointing at Mina. She stayed silent. Draco sighed.
"That's Mina Finn. She's with me." He told them. "She's very shy..."
