HelpRe: Harry Potter Congrats: Round 2
in reply to a message by Sekhmet
Ok so apparently I'm writing a novel, or it's starting to look that way. I just can't help myself.
Just a side note to make it easier to read I hope:
--- means the paragraph is about or quote is being made by Jen,
*** means the paragraph is about or quote is being made by Leo.
A combo of both means paragraph is about both.
Everything new is bolded.
Username: Jenni
SO1: Jennifer Brielle "Jen" Moon, Muggle, Age 23
SO2: Leo Augustus Achilles Megalos, Pureblood, Age 27
---Jen was raised solely muggle, has no knowledge that wizards or anything magical really exists. Growing up she always felt like something was missing, that there was more to the world then what she could see. So even though she does not know that the world of magic, spells, and mystical creatures is in fact real, she wishes it was.
---Jen and her two older sisters (Angela and Lisa) went to a normal American public high school in the middle of the country. She was an ordinary student, not at the top but definitely not at the bottom either. Her senior year of high school she worked her but off and actually made straight A’s. Not because her parents wanted her too, but because she herself wanted to see if she could do more then she had in previous years. Jen was not that popular, but she did had a few boyfriends thru the years. Probably because she had an uncanny resemblance to Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars and Heroes).
---Jen enjoys all kinds of music and movies, likes to paint and draw, as well as sing. She is very creative and inquisitive. Jen earned a degree in Computer Graphics and Web Design. Hopes to one day work at a big studio like Pixar or something similar. After a few months of trying to get a job in her home town or just in her home state, Jen realized that if her dream or working in a big studio was to come true she would need to go elsewhere. So she packed her bags and moved to New York and got a job at a small design firm.
***Leo grew up in Greece with his pureblood parents (Augustus Vlasis Spyridon Megalos & Anna Kyriaki Selene Xylander) two younger sisters (Beatrix Angelien Kyriaki Megalos / Gisela Viona Selene Megalos), and younger brother(Fabian Spyridon Reinier Megalos). From the day Leo was born his world revolved around magic. His father Augustus and mother Anna were both top in their class at Hogwarts, so they of course expected nothing less from their children. Since Leo was their first born they expect the most out of him. They started him on a rigorous magic home school schedule when he turned 2. There was no way he would attend a muggle school. It was Hogwarts or bust for the Megalos kids. Leo could produce over 50 spells expertly, and had made a handful of new ones by the time he was 10.
***Leo received his letter to Hogwarts when he turned 11, which of course was no surprise to him or his parents. When it came time to be sorted into a house, Leo’s parents said that only Ravenclaw would do because that was house they were in. But the sorting hat had a different idea, which was Gryffindor. Leo didn’t complain, even though his parents wanted him in Ravenclaw, he wanted something just for himself, and if that meant being in a different Hogwarts house then he’d take it. Also it didn’t hurt that the pretty girl he saw on the train was in Gryffindor as well. At first his parents were mad, but after awhile they got over it, mostly because Leo was a top student and got nothing but rave reviews.
***Leo was not into sports ie: Quidditch, he liked to watch, but just didn’t’ feel the need to play. He would rather create something, be it a new spell or even an invention. He also liked to paint, granted he did it without even picking up a brush, but still he loved turning a blank canvas into something beautiful that was full of color and life. Leo, a dead ringer for Chris Lowell (Life as we Know it and Veronica Mars) was not what you’d call a ladies man, mainly because he was shy around girls. He did however manage to have a couple girlfriends throughout his time at Hogwarts, one being the pretty girl he saw that first day on the train.
***Leo graduated Hogwarts at the top of his class, or course. After a short break from school he got a position at the Ministry of Magic as an intern, a dream come true for his parents. Leo loved working for the Ministry, but he wanted more. His life just wasn’t what he thought it would be. When he was younger he always thought, “I’m a wizard, I can conjure up anything, do anything, what more could I ask for”. Now that he’s older and everything is real he’s realized that being a wizard doesn’t make things easier. But because he didn’t’ want to upset or disappoint his parents he stayed on at the Ministry for a few more years when he got offered a full time position, he even got be on the jury. As much as he tried to believe that things would get better or that he’d somehow get used to things and begin to like his life and where he was at, Leo realized that he needed a change. So on his 26th birthday, Leo went into work and quit. Not knowing what to do next he sat at home and kept thinking “I just made the biggest mistake of my life”. A few weeks later he came across an ad on the web to attend an Art School in America, New York to be exact. At first Leo thought it was crazy just to go to America to attend some Art School, but then he thought, what would it hurt. So he put in his application and six weeks later he got accepted. Leo packed his bags and off he went to New York.
---Jen loves working at Idesygn, even though the firm was small they had great connections. She was doing work for commercials aired nationwide and special effects for low budget and independent films. Every once in awhile she even got to demonstrate her knowledge of design to a few of the classes at Pratt Institute the nearby art school.
***When Leo walked off the plane and had finally arrived in New York a feeling came over him, he knew that his life would be changed forever. Even though the Hotel he was staying at was probably better than any place he would fine, he really just wanted something to call his own. Leo quickly found a nice apartment that was only six blocks away from Pratt Institute, the art school where he got accepted, Not being sure exactly what he wanted to major in, Leo took classes based in the top three areas he was most interested in, Digital Design & Interactive Media, Illustration, and Film.
---***During one of her demonstrations at the Pratt Institute, Jen couldn’t help herself but to stare at one of the students. There was something about him that made him different, but she couldn’t figure it out. Yeah he was cute, ok he was freaking HOT, but that wasn’t it. She figured she was probably just imagining it and to let it go. Leo looked up and his heart stopped, he couldn’t believe it, standing there before him was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on. He tried to pay attention to what she was saying but all he could do was watch her. When she got done with her power point, she asked the class if they had any questions. A few people raised their hands and Jen answered their questions. When no more questions were asked she told them that if they ever had any questions or needed help with something that she would be more than happy to help. Leo of course took down all of Jen’s information. He didn’t have the nerve to do anything then but was hoping that he would build some up to ask her out eventually.
***---A few days went by and Jen was still on Leo’s mind, he had her home and work number and email address, but couldn’t pick up the phone or write anything that didn’t sound like a cheesy pick up line. But he knew that he had to see her. So he went for a walk. A walk that took him right by the building that Idesygn was located. Across the street was one of those sidewalk vendors, so Leo thought “I’ll get something to eat, take my time, and maybe just maybe she’ll come out. I’ll chew slowly”. An hour goes by and he’s still sitting outside waiting, now feeling like a total stalker, Leo decides it’s time to go. But just as he gets up to leave, Jen walks out of the building. Leo quickly goes ahead and makes his way across the street and then makes his way toward Jen. As he gets closer he notices that she is reading something and not paying attention, so he brushes up against her shoulder as he walks by her. Jen stops looks back and sees Leo. After a few seconds she realizes that it’s that guy from class the other day. They say hi and Leo tells her that she did a great job at explaining everything. Jen says thank you and that she was really nervous and worked hard on getting it ready. They get to the awkward out of things to say point. Leo knows that if he blows this, he may not get another chance. So before she can say “well I gotta go” he askes her out for coffee.
---“I’m sorry I don’t like coffee”, Jen replied.
***“Oh really, neither do I, I just asked because that’s what everyone says”.
---“So if I had said, sure I love coffee, what would you have done then. Go along with it and drink the coffee”?
***“Well yeah I guess, or surely there would be something else there I would like. I love those frozen coffee drinks”.
---“Me too! Do you like the caramel or chocolate ones best”?
***“Even though I love chocolate, I have to say the caramel”.
---“So Leo, would you like to go out and get a frozen coffee drink with caramel”?
***“Jen, I thought you’d never ask”.
-*-*-*Between sips they talked about well everything, except of course that Leo was a wizard. They talked about their families, their friends, their likes and dislikes. They found out that they both loved horror/thriller movies and when it came to music, as long as there was voice, a decent voice, they’d listen to it. Besides coffee they both hated the taste of Root beer, all seafood, and mushrooms. But they loved the taste of anything sweet, ranch dressing, and chocolate chip cookie dough was their favorite ice cream. In the middle of Jen’s story of how she and her friends almost got arrested, an employee comes up and tells them that they are about to close. They look at each other and laugh, Leo tells the employee that they are leaving. They gather up their stuff and walk out. Once outside Jen looks at her watch and realized that they had been talking for about six hours. Leo notices and says “Six hours, I can’t believe it, only felt like six minutes”. Jen agrees and say’s “Well it’s getting late, I have work in the morning and you probably have a class. So umm I guess I should go”. Leo replies, “Yeah of course. You wouldn’t perhaps want to do this again or maybe even something else would you?” Jen smiles and takes a moment and says “Call me, I’ll let you know”. Turns around and walks away.
***---Leo shocked, walks home contemplating on when he should call. He walks in sits down and starts to watch TV. A few minutes go by, he looks at the phone, back at the TV, back at the phone. Thinks to himself, “Twenty minutes is long enough”, grabs her phone number and calls. When Jen picks up Leo says “I couldn’t wait, so what do you say, dinner tomorrow night at Sotto Voce”. “I was hoping that was you. Sounds great, I’ve been wanting to go there for awhile”, replies Jen. “Great, I’ll pick you up at 7, is that ok”? “Yeah perfect, I can’t wait”. They say goodbye and hang up the phone.
*-*-*Jen and Leo quickly became inseparable, not a day went by that they didn’t talk or even see each other. Six months go by and they are completely in love. Leo knows she’s the one, but he hasn’t told her that he’s a wizard yet. Contemplating whether he should say anything or not, Leo realizes that he can’t lie to her and can’t ask her to marry him till she knows. One night while watching a movie at Leo’s place, he tells Jen he has to tell her something. Before he gets into it he say that he loves her and that there is something about him that she doesn’t know. It’s not a bad thing really, it’s just it’s kind of out there. Jen reassures him that she loves him too and that whatever it is she’ll be ok with it. Leo takes a deep breath and says
***“I’m a wizard”.
---“What”?
***“You’re not gonna believe me unless I show you so…”.
Leo gets up and grabs his wand and says “Leviosar” and the table starts to float up. Jen in amazement, looks up at Leo and says
---“Oh My God, you’re a wizard. I knew it, there was something off about you, something I couldn’t put my finger on. I never imagined it was because you were a wizard, but wow. Can you fly, do you have a broom, or is that just for witches?”
***“Wait so you’re ok with this, you’re not freaked out or anything”.
---“No why would I be, I know you’re not gonna hurt me and well this is awesome. I always hoped that magic and all that existed. You gotta tell me everything”.
Leo relieved that Jen didn’t run out screaming, walks over to her, gets down on one knee looks her in the eye and says
***“Will You Marry Me? I love you, I will always love, and if you are ok with me and who I really am I don’t want a day to go by without you in it. Jennifer Brielle Moon, will you make me the happiest man/wizard alive and be my bride?”
A tear rolls down Jen’s face as she smiles and says
---“Yes, Yes Leo I will definitely your bride.
-**--*A few months later, in June to be exact, Leo and Jen got married. Jen’s family and friends didn’t know of Leo’s abilities yet, so they all thought Jen and Leo got married in New York. But Leo conjured up a spell that when they walked through the gate at the Pugliese Vineyard in New York, they were transported to Mycenae a Vineyard in Greece. Having never been to New York or Greece Jen’s family and friends didn’t think anything different. The now Mr. and Mrs. Megalos are currently keeping residence in both New York and Greece. They stay in New York during the week and Greece on the weekends. Once a month they go to Indiana, Jen’s home state, and visit. Jen told everyone that her and Leo got a great deal and the more they fly the more money they save on tickets. We all know that in reality that isn’t true. Leo made a transportation spell on the Moon’s family cabin fireplace, which is located in the town next to where Jen’s family lives. Jen and Leo have been talking and being as Leo graduates the following summer, they plan on trying for a child in August next year.
