"Im Marie Rydell. 11" she said confidently. she let the water fade from her hand, and shot the fire and Scipios foot, it wouldnt harm him, just scare him. stupid Scipio
Pre Hogwarts (OPEN)
"She wasn't answering! And I haven't a clue what you could do against us if we upset you!" Scipio jumped away from the fire.
Victoria just stood off to the side, making no noise and pretending she didn’t exist.
(OMG REFERENCES. I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.)
"Marie?" The man was now sketching something with his wand now, tracing the pattern for a blanket. It disappeared as his eyes brightened. "Right! I remember you now."
He nodded to the third kid who had zoned out. "I'll get to him later."
"And Skip - can I call you Skip? - I don't need to hurt ya. I'm not that heartless." The man relaxed a bit.
"And girlie? I know ya exist. I'll get to you later.
"Anyway, your guys' turn. Ask me a question. Hell, ask me a few. It's no bother to me." He adjusted the blanket draped over Luena.
"u-uhm.. S-simon Wood, 9, s-sorry" Simon mumbles, looking at the ground anxiously, less tears but still a trembling mess
"Simon. Huh." The man combed his hair away from his face. "Anyway, I'll let each of ya ask a question."
"Who are you, most importantly, how do you know our names, and why'd you nick our hair?" Scipio asked, ignoring the question about the nickname. He recalled being referred to as 'Scip' (pronounced 'Skype') before, but never Skip.
"Name please?" Marie said, pointedly.
The man smiled.
"Well, my name is Jacrodeus Regulus Gaunt. But please just call me Jakro. I'm 28 years old.
"Your," Jakro pointed to Scipio "Second and third questions are answers. Took your hair to find your bloodline." He looked at Simon and the half-blood. "Your questions?"
Scipio stopped in his tracks at the name 'Gaunt'. I know that name… Voldemort was from the line of Gaunt; they've been all Pureblood for ages… but where did he come from? Morfin didn't have any children, did he? Merope died soon after Voldemort, and Marvolo was too old… did Marvolo have a brother or sister?
Regulus? where have i heard that before. it was in one of the stories cousin Draco told that he heard Harry and his friends talking about. she thought.
(The Gaunts and Regulus Arcturus Black of course. Perhaps he's related to both?)
(i know that. kinda cool to think about honestly)
(Yeah. I like how Scipio's heard all about the Gaunts (bc of course he has) and Simon's over here thinking about gud boi Regulus)
(ding ding ding. y'all got it right. :P)
(thats Marie not Simon)
(Oh yeah I mix you people up sometimes lol)
( i mean so has marie tho. hello death eater Malfoys!!!)
(Jakro can hear Scip's thoughts, right? Do you think he'd answer the mental questions on his identity?)
(who knows… i do.)
Jakro smirked at the name recognition occurring in the two pure-bloods' heads. "Yes, that Gaunt. And yes, Regulus. Anything else before my next?" Luena started to whimper in her sleep. Jakro stood up, and crouched beside her, resting his fingers on her temples. She immediately went quiet, a content smile on her face.
"uh no i dont think so. next?"
He thought for a moment. "Nothing comes to mind at the present."
Marie chuckled. "nice wording Scip"
(SCIPIO'S PROPER OKAY)
Scipio's face flushed a bit, but he didn't answer. He had been brought up to be eloquent after all, and he had a good home education.
(not proper enough)
(Oof)
(That's rather presumptuous of you)
(Contumelious as well)
(word should be moment, not present lol. welcome to the english language where we cant spell, or grammer corrently but its okay because we laugh at each other)
