[[MELAN!E N!COLE PARKS]]  Behind me every step of the way: ashlovesdraco! I was named: Melanie || Nicole || Parks What I'm normally called: Melanie, Mel, Superstar (By my parents) Please don't call me: Melly, Parks I appear: Annoyingly bubbly, cheerful, happy, kind, and still a kid at heart But I see myself as: Your regular girl next door I enjoy dressing up and wearing makeup so that makes me: girl I heart the: boys, boys, boys! Surprisingly, the hat put me in: Slytherin The day that's all about me: June 1st That makes me a: Gemini I've just turned: 14 This many wonderful years: 4 My parents are: Lucille and Tom Parks For many centuries my family's blood has been: Pure My source of magic is: 9 1/2 inches, made of: Ash wood, with a core of: Essence of Hair from the Tail of a Male Unicorn Brings me out of darkness: Otter My pride and joy: Kitten I proudly named him: Jeff To stay in shape I play: Quidditch, basketball, and tennis. I play right chaser for the slytherin quidditch team. What you see: is what you get when it comes to appearances. I’m not what you’d call strikingly beautiful, but I like to think that I’m pretty. I look a lot like my mum actually. We both share piercing blue eyes and thick, dark brown hair. My favorite feature is actually my bright blue eyes, so I always wear mascara and a little eye shadow to help make them even more noticeable. I have thick black eyelashes that outline my blue eyes, and dark brown, arched eyebrows. My hair is normally worn down and it sits a few inches below my shoulders. It’s naturally wavy with a hint of curls so it’ll hardly ever appear the same way it did the day before. When my hair is in its curliest state it rests on my pale but freckled shoulders. I vary between side swept bangs and blunt bangs with the help of my wand. Lately I’ve been tying ribbons in my hair and wearing thick headbands.
I stand at five feet nine and a half inches and wear a size nine in shoes. I’m taller than most girls my age, but I got used to that fact at an early age. My skin is very pale but decorated with hundreds, maybe even thousands of freckles. I don’t have a lanky body type, but I’m skinny enough to hardly appear with a stomach. Besides wearing makeup on my eyelids and lashes, I wear pink and clear lip glosses and pale nail polishes. Preferably pinks, greens, and blue. But on game days I paint my nails emerald green and silver and I braid silver and green roses into my hair.
My wardrobe consists of camis, tank tops, polos, button sweaters, ballet sweater, ballet leg-warmers, paisley dresses, funny but cute t-shirts, miniskirts, flowing skirts, short-shorts, tights, flaired jeans, rugby type shirts, and leggings. I wear cute patterned ballet flats due to my height; unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to get away with heels. (Unless I find a tall boyfriend) I wear simple and classic jewelry such as pearls and cute ribbons and bows to accent my hair. I dress the way I please, not following the trends that the other girl students follow. Though I do love my Hogwarts uniform I itch for it to be the weekend so I can wear an outfit that nobody else is wearing. Through my clothes, I prefer to be and am an individual. My wonderful life: The English family, the Rickersons, were well known for their wealth and prejudiced views and ways. Their blood was pure and they intended to keep it that way, so each of their offspring married those whose blood was every bit as pure as theirs was. Anybody who wasn't that of pure blood wasn't treated fairly by the Rickersons and were often frowned upon. But those people were simply used to the way the Rickersons treated them, they would have been surprised if they were treated any differently. There wasn't a single person who didn't hear something about the Rickerson family. Whether good or bad, it didn’t matter to them; they didn’t just like attention and power, they craved it.
 Everyone from the Rickerson family attended Hogwarts and there they were sorted into the cunning house of Slytherin. Not a single person from the Rickerson family was sorted into any other house, once a Rickerson arrived there the sorting hat knew just what to yell, “SLYHTERIN!” All Rickersons had a certain air to them, they were all ambitious, trusted hardly anyone, cunning, and most of all, quick witted. The Rickersons were known for their loyalty to the Dark Lord, they would stand by him, even if it meant war between wizards. They felt that no one not of pureblood was worthy of staying in the wizarding world, that no one not of pure blood was worthy of respect and recognition.
Charles Rickerson worked at the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. He worked as a spy for powerful purebloods like himself. And why not? Being in the ministry Charles had easy access on what was currently happening in the wizarding world. He was good at his work so nobody in the Ministry knew of what he was doing or suspected him of doing out of the ordinary. Also, with a job like his, Charles was able to keep crazy purebloods from being caught when they foolishly used any one of the three unforgivable curses on an unworthy muggle. He loyally and proudly gave information that would aid any pureblooded wizard who claimed they would soon rule the wizarding world and do things for the greater good. He stayed true to the Rickerson ways when he married Abigail Hastings, a death eater and a pureblood. He was 30 at the time while she was 28. A year and half after their marriage on March 24, Abigail gave birth to a son whom they named William.
William was a difficult child, but that wasn’t surprising to Charles, he knew all too well that Rickersons were difficult and stubborn; but it did concern Abigail quite a bit, she had hoped for any easy first child. He cried and wailed at the most unpredictable times and for no reason at all. William tortured poor, defenseless animals and sometimes children his age and older. He was not liked by the other children in his neighborhood, but he didn’t care, he knew that one day he would attend Hogwarts just like his parents did and get sorted into Slytherin just like every Rickerson before him. And he was right; after William had turned eleven he got his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, no surprise there of course. And when September rolled around it was no surprise that he was sorted into Slytherin.
At Hogwarts William found true love, Elaine Brusslem, the star Slytherin chaser. She was a girl that spoke her mind and received good marks in classes, which surprised most teachers. Elaine wasn’t what you called star student material; she often bad mouthed the teachers and arrived to class late. But William loved her nonetheless. It was the way she carried herself, like someone of great importance, and the way she could express herself without feeling shy or embarrassed. Those qualities are what drew William to her. And lucky for him Elaine felt the same way about him. William and Elaine married after they finished their seventh year at Hogwarts. From there the happy couple bought a lot in Diagon Alley and opened a restaurant. At a place where so many visited to meet up with friends or just to have a chat over a meal, the two were able to hear useful information, information that they were able to pass down to the Dark Lord who was then beginning his rise to power.
A year after their marriage Elaine gave birth to a girl, whom was named Felicity. Elaine and William wanted a son, a boy that could live on the Rickerson name and exactly two years after Felicity was born, they got what they wanted: a son. They named their son Tom. Tom knew from an early age that he was going to be a deatheater once he got out of school. He was willing to serve the Dark Lord, to aid him in his time of need. In a few years time Tom attended Hogwarts and was sorted in Slytherin, just like everyone knew he was. He played quidditch like his mum, but preferred the beater position. He had a good hitting arm and dead on aim. He considered going on and becoming a professional in the quidditch area but he knew no such thing would be possible. He was destined to become a deatheater, destined to serve the Dark Lord, and when he graduated, he did. There he killed those not worthy of life and cursed those who were trying to put an end to the Dark Lord’s reign. And it was there where he met Lucille Valentine, the love of his life. She too was loyal to her master and had blood that was as pure as his. After becoming her regular partner in missions, the two fell in love and married.
During one of their killings they felt something within themselves, they felt guilt and regret. Why had they taken so many lives? By now Tom and Lucille had killed many people and had never felt these feelings take over them and eat their insides. Tom and Lucille suddenly realized what they were doing for the past five years was wrong and inhuman. If their master and his minions kept this up, there would hardly be any more wizards on this world. They fled, knowing if their master ever found them, they would be killed. But they risked their lives, they wanted to stop taking the lives of others, they wanted to start their lives over again. From here Tom and Lucille disguised themselves, Tom no longer had thick, rich, black locks and green eyes, he now had wavy blonde hair and brown eyes. Lucille didn’t change her hair or eye color but wore her hair long and with bangs that covered her magnificent blue eyes. They moved from one small muggle town to another, leaving whenever they felt danger. Tom and Lucille also changed their last name to Parks. The Parks were a pureblood family that had died out, but they took on this name as a last resort, they for some reason still wanted to be known as pureblooded.
And this is where I, Melanie Nicole Parks, come in. And I’m about to tell you my story, a story that I think is worth hearing. A story that unlike family’s history and past seems normal.
I was born on a bright and sunny summer day, June first if you want the exact date. And when I grew older, my parents later told me that I was the joy and light of their lives, that I was their light in their life of darkness. That I was just what they needed after living in such awful conditions after fleeing from their once master: Lord Voldemort. Once I was born they decided the house was safely guarded with plenty of charms and spells, thus, the beginning of a normal life. One where they no longer had to be on the constant look out for danger, one where they could finally settle down and be themselves. And more importantly, begin a family, starting with raising me.
 I didn’t cry too much when I was a baby, I cried when necessary, like when I needed a diaper change or when I was hungry and needed food in my chubby stomach. Other than that, I was a pretty quiet baby, but one that smiled a lot and laughed easily. With dark brown hair and amazingly blue eyes like my mum my parents brought me to a modeling agency, and I got a few jobs there, but my modeling career didn’t last once I was out of diapers. Once I grew up and realized what modeling was all about, I didn’t want to do it anymore. I just didn’t see the point of posing in front of a camera, wasn’t it was what was on the inside that counted anyway? Not how beautiful a person was on the outside? Well, I thought so, even at the early age of three.
My parents told me all about the magical world, and at that point, left out the part of them being deatheaters and all. (I didn’t learn that fact until later) Magic fascinated me, even then, and I always wanted to learn more. Something about being able to make certain things happen with waving a wand and saying a spell got me hooked on the subject of magic. I desperately wanted to be a powerful witch like my mum; I wanted to please both of my parents so badly. Even though my parents believed I was magical, they always told me it didn’t matter it I didn’t receive a letter from Hogwarts for my eleventh birthday. And even though I nodded as they told me this, I couldn’t wait for my eleventh birthday. That would be the day where I would know that I was indeed magical; that would be the day where I could really please my parents.
I was free to do most of the things that I wished, so I did what I pleased, every once in a while getting into trouble. Around the age of six, and with a kind heart, I would bring in stray animals into the house, to “nurse” them. Kittens, small dogs, rabbits, and even lonely looking rocks were carefully brought into the house by me. I “healed” their “injuries” by giving them love and wrapping up their body parts with toilet paper. Who was I to know that they weren’t actually sick? Events like these got me sent to my room with no magic lessons or stories for the night.
When I got older and against my parents’ wishes, I started flirting with the boys. Bringing them home for dinner was always a bit awkward for everyone, myself very much included. (It was what my parents insisted on—the dinners that is) There was one time where I endangered me parents’ powers and secret though. I was ten when a new boy moved into the small town where my parents and I were hiding; I took a great liking to him right away. I spent every free moment I had with him, and he the same with me. We were playing a game once when some of the game pieces started disappearing. I knew it was my fault; I was losing so I was starting to become frustrated, so I tried acting like nothing was happening. I knew that he mustn’t find out that it was me who was causing the game pieces to disappear. But he noticed after a few minutes and questioned me. I ran off crying, feeling horrible that I let my powers get out of control, and for a stupid reason too. I apologized to my parents and once again we had to move. This move was our last, spells and charms were once again put up around the house.
On my eleventh birthday I had a small party, with my parents and their friends, so it was mostly adults that attended. I was feeling a bit sad and left out so I left the table when my parents started talking to the muggles on business and such; I never really enjoyed those types of discussions, and unfortunately, those types of discussions came up anytime we had a muggle over. While I was going upstairs to my room, I noticed that there was a letter on the floor. It must have come through the letter hole so I looked to see whom it was addressed to. It was addressed to me! My blue eyes were wide with curiosity and surprise, my mouth gaped open. It was from the place my parents told me about: Hogwarts! I wanted to tell my parents about the letter so badly, but there were muggles around, so I continued to read the letter on my way to my room.
When the guests left I immediately ran down the stairs to show my parents my letter. They were just as excited as she was, they told her they always knew that she was a witch. We hugged and they sat me down, they told me that they were going to tell me all I needed to know about Hogwarts. But just as they were about to start, I shook my head and told them that I wanted to find out all these things on my own. So I could be just as surprised as they were when they first went to Hogwarts. My parents agreed and told me that soon we would be going to Diagon Alley to buy my supplies for the upcoming school year.
I was absolutely amazed by everything at Diagon Alley, there was just so much going on! I looked at every possible detail and breathed in the air. As a birthday surprise my parents bought me a broomstick, the best one you could get at the time. But they told me that I’d have to leave it at home, first years at Hogwarts weren’t allowed a broomstick. My dad promised me that he would show me how to play the magical yet very violent game of quidditch. When I asked my mum if she played, she just laughed and told me that she watched my father play, while she sat in the stands, cheering the Slytherin team on.
 I was nervous like very first year there while I waited for my name to be called. Every person before me in my family had been sorted into Slytherin, but I knew I was different. Though I shared the Rickerson traits of quick wit and ambition, I was as different as one could be in all the other ways. I was kind, treated people of all blood status equally, and would never use someone to gain rank or power. When Professor McGonagall said my name I felt my knees tremble but I felt more excitement then nerver at this point so I smiled pleasantly as I skipped to the stool where the sorting hat was waiting for me. Yes, I skipped to the stool. I quickly breathed in and out before the hat was placed on my small head. The hat was surprised, I was a Rickerson, and here I was, unsure of what house I was going to be put in. It toyed with the idea of placing me in Ravenclaw for my quick wit but saw something I guess. He told me I was far more ambitious than any other Rickerson he had been placed on, that though I didn’t recognize it myself, I was cunning. He was fascinated that so many Rickersons had been placed in Slytherin, not one fell through the cracks and was placed somewhere else. Yes, he knew I was a Rickerson and not a Parks, but he kept my secret. After what seemed for like eternity he shouted, “SLYHTERIN!” much to my surprise. But the hat knows best, doesn’t he?
I’m known for going after what I want. I study hard for everything and try to practice quidditch at almost every free moment I can spare. Since most Slytherin players are boy, I’m often criticized and pushed around by my fellow players. But ever since my second year I’ve managed to slip through the “no girls” rule and make right chaser. Though my teammates can get on my nerves and frustrate me, I keep my tempers and frustrations to myself. After all, I don’t want to jeopardize myself, I want to stay and play on the team. Another thing that gets my teammates ticking is that I’m nice to everyone, including the Gryffindors and first years. But truth be told, in quidditch I’m very far from nice. Due to the pushing and teasing from my teammates I will knock you off your broom if I see that it’s necessary. Unlike my parents I view myself as an: imperfect person. I have flaws. Some are visible and some are a bit harder to see. First things first; I'm very, very, very sensitive and tend to be a bit over emotional. I cry very easily, but I hate for anyone to see this side of me, so I try my hardest not to let anyone see this side of me. I normally do a pretty good job of keeping the tears in until I'm alone in a hallway or in my dorm, but sometimes it's just so hard to keep those darn tears in. I just hate crying so much but since I'm so sensitive it's hard not to cry sometimes. Of course there's certain things that I won't cry about such as insults towards me and bad scores in classes and tests. I normally cry about bad relationships and the fact that I sometimes hurt people. Like sometimes I'm too happy to realize that somebody's hurting and when I do realize that they are, it's all ready too late because they've moved on...so I cry. I cry because I wasn't able to help them.
I get worried very easily and sometimes over the smallest little things. I constantly worry that the boy I fancy at the time doesn't fancy me back or that he's just pretending he does so he can take advantage of me or that homework assignment I just turned in last period wasn't quite thorough enough. When I'm worried a ton of things and thoughts whirl around in my head at once. Sometimes there's so much going on in my head that I start to feel dizzy. When this happens I hurry up and try to find myself a bench to sit on. I don't want people worrying about me, so I tell them everything's all right, just needed to take a quick rest and I give them a weak smile as I try to appear normal; as if the room isn't spinning a million miles a second.
I often wonder why so many Slytherins are hated, because quite frankly, I think I’m quite nice. I keep the best interest in mind and normally always think before I say or do something that will offend somebody. I don’t want to and don't like to hurt other people’s feelings so I often say the “right” thing, meaning, the thing you desire to hear. So if you took me shopping and you really liked a certain outfit of clothing on you, but you didn’t look that great in it, I would hesitantly tell you that you should buy it but only save it for special occasions. Not exactly my best trait if you’re looking for the truth, but I’m working on it, okay?
When I see somebody new that I show an interest in I won’t hesitate to introduce myself. I like to meet new and interesting people, they could make life even more exciting than it all ready is. But I’ve been told that I come on too strong sometimes. I guess I’m a bit too friendly and nice when I meet someone. See, that’s the thing that people either love or hate me for: my bubbly-ness and cheerful-ness. You hardly ever see me without a smile on my face and my blue eyes shining with happiness. If you were to put me into a room of sad things and sad people, I’d glow, trying to make everything and everyone around me happy. I help those who need it and love cheering people up and making them smile.
I like interacting and talking to people. When I talk to a person I like to keep my eyes on them, to let them know that I'm listening to them. Of course it sometimes makes the people I'm talking to a bit uncomfortable, but I think it'd be rude if I wasn't looking at them. I mean, if I was looking away, wouldn't you think that I wasn't paying attention to what you had to say? Yes, yes you would, so that's why I look at the person while I'm talking to them or listening to them. Also, I'm a pretty good listener. I don't interupt you, I wait until you're finished with what you have to say and then I voice my opinion. I like to hear what you have to say. If I think that you need advice or if you ask for it, then I'll give you some. Of course, you should listen and see if it's advice that you'd like to take before you do whatever I said to you.
I still act like a child even though I'm in the early stages of being a teenager. Even my signature wave is childish. It's so childish that I've made people laugh just by waving at them. When I wave at anybody I move my fingers quickly, starting with moving my pinky, and then all my fingers on the way to my thumb, and back again. It's a quick motion and looks like a blur sometimes since I've waved so many times I've gotten to be very quick with it. When I get excited about something or if I get good news from a friend or my parents back home I scream, jump up and down, and clap my hands together; it doesn't matter if I'm in the great hall, a classroom, on the moving staricases, or out on a date. I'll still scream, jump up and down, and clap my hands together excitedly. If the news if extra exciting or news that I find amazing and once thought was unbelievable or wouldn't possibly happen then I'll scream louder, jump up and down higher, skip the hand clapping and grab your arms and do a little dance with you, I'll probably even add in a few spins and a dip.
I know that people are puzzled as to why I was placed in slytherin and I have to admit, so do I. Since I don't posses the personality of the stereotypical slytherin I think some people have a hard time trusting me. They probably think that my bubbly, cheerful, and over all sweet personality is all an act. But I can assure those uncertain people that the personality you see come from me is not an act. It's all real. And I personally hate that people don't trust me and my true personality all because I'm a slytherin. I think that house prejudices are dumb. I feel that you should get to know a person before you judge them solely on what house they were sorted in.
 When I see something I want, I go out to get. And I won’t give up until it’s mine, well, that is unless it’s a boy one of my friends wants. I wouldn’t want to break my friend’s heart by going out with the boy she wants for herself. One thing I smile brightly upon is all the boys at Hogwarts. I love the variety and you can sometimes seem me shamelessly flirting in between classes with guy that I think is cute but would probably never go out with. Most of the time when I flirt shamelessly I'm not looking for a serious and possibly long term relationship. I flirt with guys that I think are cute and just to have fun, or to see the look on their face when I walk away, leaving them wanting more. I try hard not to get a guy's hopes up, but sometimes I take flirting too far. Though it may not always appear so, I’ll settle down once I find the right guy.
There is this one boy that I’m unsure about though. His name is Skander Gunther McHale and he’s been my on and off boyfriend ever since my first year at Hogwarts. There’s just something about him, something that I can’t quite place my finger on. He’s a great guy and extremely funny and good looking, but I don’t know if he’s the right guy for me. When we break up, it’s normally me who says that the relationship is over. I don’t mean to break his heart, but I don’t like to stay tied down for too long. Who knows maybe we’ll work things out later in life and fully fall in love. ((Haha, not if Nat and I control your future Melanie!))
I think the reason I break up with Skander McHale is because I'm in love with another boy. Yes, I did say I'm love so stop looking so surprised, hopelessly in love if you'd want to get down to the specifics of my feelings. His name is Rain Cedric Larks, he's a sixth year and in Slytherin. We're pretty good friends and he doesn't know that I feel this way about him. In fact, nobody does, not even Mac, or Hollywood! So shhhh! Don't say a word, I'd be absolutely mortified if he found out and he didn't feel the same way. I'll continue being his friend and see how things work out. I'll date other guys to get my mind off him. Wait, did I say date? I meant casually date, nothing serious. I've never felt this way about someone before so I'm not sure if I like it...yet. So I'll say yes to any guy that ask me out but isn't looking for a serious relationship, just a casual one where there aren't too many worries...well...I think will.
When I seriously like a guy and want to be in a semi-serious--or possibly a serious one if I really like the guy--I'll try not to come on as strong with my flirting as I do with guys that are just for fun. I leave hints but sometimes it's hard for the guy I fancy to see that I like them back in a serious way since they've most likely seen me around the school grounds flirting with numerous amounts of guys. Though almost all guys make me blush, guys that I really fancy make blush the hardest. When boys compliment me, use a cheesy pick up line, or if I somehow find a way to embarrass myself I blush a deep pink or a light red. And since my skin's so pale my blush is easy to see.
I secretly fear and hate being alone. I hate not being around people, for some reason I just don't feel like myself if I'm not around at least one person. When I'm alone I feel that there's a certain reason why I'm alone, and why nobody seems to want to hang around me. I feel unwanted and unloved when I'm by myself. People, even if I don't like them, bring out the best in me. When I'm alone I tend to worry easier and more often. Of course I'll appear like my regular happy self on the outside, but on the inside I'm sercretly longing for somebody to come up to me and at least say hello, at least that way I'm not alone and the fear will leave me. There's just something about being alone that scares me. So I don't like being by myself at all.
Thunder storms scare me half to death. They're just so loud and scary! And normally all kinds of rain pours down with it, causing even more noise. I'm always so scared that the thunder might come through the windows of the school and hit people or knock the school down. Whenever it thunders through the night I have a hard time sleeping since I'm so scared. I often lay in my bed, under my warm covers, ears covered, and eyes wide open, waiting for the storm to pass. If my covers aren't warm enough I slip my feet into my fuzzy lime green slippers, throw on a robe, and sit down in a comfy chair in the commonroom next to the fire with my blanket.
I'm secretly afraid that I won't find someone that loves me back. I'm afraid that no one will ever accept for who I am and won't love me as much as I love them. I'm afraid that I'll be one of those women that will never marry and have hundreds of cats to keep me company. I mean, I love my kitten Jeff and all, but I do want to find "the one." I know that being the flirt that I am isn't excatly the best way to find that special someone that I want to spend my life with, but I have a hard time stopping my flirtful ways. I just don't want to be alone and by myself for the rest of my life....I'd rather die actually.
 When I get nervous around people, I don't look at them. I have to look away, because I don't want to see the look they have on their face. My hands start to fidget too, like a lot. If I'm sitting down then my hands fidget in my lap and I tend to look at them a lot, because I'm afraid if I look up I'll meet someone's gaze and they'd be able to read right through me. I soon realize that people might think I'm a bit strange since my hands are kind of srpazzing like mad so I run a hand through my wavy, thick, brown hair; or I tug at the end of my skirt, anything to keep my gaze off of you and my hands occupied.
I'm a pretty good student, definetly not the best in the class, but I still get pretty good grades. I study hard and do all of my homework. But since my parents taught me about Hogwarts and the classes that are offered, I get through my homework pretty quickly. Plus, classwork and stuff like it come easily to me. Schoolwork and homework were two things I never had any trouble with while growing up. And along the way I found good studying habits, so my test scores improved. The subjects I like best and do extremely well in are charms and muggle studies. The subjects that I don't do so well in are history of magic and astronomy. I dunno, it's just that Binns is quite boring with his lectures and astronomy just never fascinated me. I like school and learning and all, but there are other things I'd rather be doing then some stuffy old homework.
I suppose I do have a "dark side." I mean, I must have one since I was sorted into slytherin. I guess I don't show it very much...well, except for in the violent sport of quidditch. I get all worked up about quidditch and tend not to act very much like my regular happy self while I'm playing or practicing. I've been known to knock opposing chasers off of their broom during games, and of course I make it look like it was an accident. Practice is difficult since I'm one of the only girls on the slytherin quidditch team. The guys pushed me around at first but now I push them around right back. I've become quite the competitor and get extremely upset whenever we loose. I get so upset that I yell at my teammates for the smallest things. And in pracitce I'm the excat same way if one of my fellow chasers drop the quaffle or if anybody messes up the plays. Sometimes I get so upset that I try to kick the person that I feel messed up or caused us that win we should have sacked...that's normally the time when one of my teammates has to either A. forcefully pick me up or B. forcefully drag me away. They don't put me down or let go of me until I'm in a place far, far, far away from any of the other teammates...or people for that matter. And they make me stay in that isolated area until I've settled down. It annoys me that they insist on doing this, but I guess it's the only way where I won't seriously hurt someone.
Since I only made reserve team my first year at Hogwarts and nobody got injured, (how unfortunate!) I never got to play in a game. But when I made the team my second year at Hogwarts I was so excited about finally being able to play that I got a little goofy and started what is now me and Skylar's pregame ritual. I started singing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper in my high soprano voice and after a few bars much to my surprise Skylar joined in! We both started dancing in a ridiculously crazy manner. And now, before every game Skylar and I "rock out" to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"! It's so much fun, really let's you shake out those pre game nerves and it gets me pretty psyched up about the game. I get really, really, really into the singing and dancing. And while Skylar's still crazy with it, she isn't into as much as I am. I pretty much make a fool of myself since I'm not that great of a dancer and my singing voice isn't all that great either. I mean, I can hit the high notes that Cyndi Lauper sings with ease, but sometimes I go too high. So slytherin quidditch players? I'm sorry if my singing is so high that your ears hurt...and possibly ring. Also, anybody in the slytherin quidditch locker rooms are an open target as my dance partner. So fellow slytherin quidditch players, you better watch out!
There's a few quirky thing about me that make me, well me, Melanie Nicole Parks. I only use black quills to write with. If someone offers me a quill that's any color besides black I won't use it, or touch it. I'll jump out of the way if I have to. I just don't use quills that aren't the color black, okay? On days where slytherin has a quidditch match I must eat blueberry pancakes or I'll play horribly. I found that the second game I ever played in. I played horribly all because I ate waffles instead of blueberry pancakes. My toenails must always be painted a dark blue with silver sparkles. I hate them whenever they're any color besides dark blue. I always carry three smooth skipping stones in my pocket. They represent me, my dad, and my mum. If a person has a shirt tag sticking out I must tuck it in for them. It doesn't matter if I don't know them or that that particular person hates me. I have to tuck in their shirt tag. It bothers me if it's just sticking out. I always sneeze 10-20 minutes before I fall asleep. The number of sneezes vary. Oh, and I own a lime green push up bra that I consider lucky. I don't know why I do, but I do.
I don't have very many hobbies. Besides playing quidditch during the school year and the summer holidays I don't do much else. I mean, I play basketball and tennis just for fun, but they're not something I'm really serious about. I mainly play basketball and tennis to keep me in shape. I like reading in my spare time. It's one way where I won't worry when I'm alone. I think it's because I like reading books in the realistic fiction genre, where the stories are about real characters, ones that I can relate to. So in way it's kind of like I have people with me. Hmm, I count shopping as a hobby! I know must people don't but I do! Just because it's so much fun! My love for shopping is probably the reason I bring three heavy trunks to school every year. I just can't seem to part without all of the clothes in my closet.
I’ll over-shower you with nice-ness, smiles, advice (when asked for), hugs, and cheerfulness, no matter what time of day it is. It could be dawn and I’ll still be me. I could really care less if it all annoyed you; because that’s the way I am, take it or leave it, your choice. I heart: boys ll being in love || make up ll clothes ll shoes ll parties (not too wild though) ll lime green ll girl nights ll cheerful music ll the power of magic ll smiles ll most muggle appliances (they are hidden from my parents and teachers) ll her kitten Jeff ll roses ll books ll candy (preferably chocolate) ll and last but not least: boys! I hate: Gothic people ll gifts coming in the wrong size ll being disliked by others ll big dogs ll liars ll heartbreak ll frowns ll thunder storms Other things you should know: I love (though I won't tell you) surprise gifts and parties, any other surprises things: not so much. I sometimes help my close friend Hollywood by tutoring him in some of his classes.

[[those in my story]] The Slytherins Name: Rain Larks
Year 6th year
House Slytherin
Relationship: <3 - you're cute and ^-^ - just friends
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie's a very pretty young girl, I must say. Her eyes dazzle me, and she's got a very adorable bubbly personality that even I can't withstand! She's too cute. I really enjoy being around her, with her positive attitude. Haha, but anyway. Too bad she's 2 years younger then me. It's not that bad, but still. -sigh- Ah well. I wonder if she likes me? Typically, I can see her like that. But sometimes I wonder if she's holding back from me. Haha... huh."
History, if any: Rain's always thought Melanie to be really pretty, and he adores her personality and blue eyes. They've had many conversations, being in the same house and all, and he's always enjoyed her presense.
Plot ideas: Hmmm, closer friends, maybe? Possibly even more? Same house, slight age difference, who cares!Name: Raphael Stark
Year fifth
House Slytherin
Relationship: A close friend and (of course) some shameless flirting
What you think of Melanie: “Mel’s a great girl. Not in that sense that flirting with her is so fun, but that she’s really a good friend to me. Despite the fact that my parents, especially my father, made me be friends with her, I’m glad I did. Even after all that flirting and swooning I try to do to her, in the end, we’re just friends. I can keep up with her cheeriness, which is something I need sometimes in that dreary common room.”
History, if any: Same house since Raphael’s second year. Blood came into the play of their forced friendship, but Raphael was a bit grateful for it. Other than Raphael’s occasional flirts with her (since he’s stopped with her after a while), they’re pretty good friends.
Plot ideas: …not much either, Ash. xD I mean, of course, they can talk about stuff, which would be good a bit. If Melanie does try to change his ways, he might shy away from her and ignore her, but maybe, just maybe, she can become like his Grandpa Gabe – someone he can finally confide in.Name: Zaccheus Dane
Year 3rd year
House Slytherin
Relationship: :l
What you think of Melanie: "Rrgh. She's that one that's always happy. I don't think she even realizes that it irritates me. Even when I finally come outright and insult her for it. Proof that ignorance is indeed bliss."
History, if any: They're in the same house and only a year apart, so Zacch knows who she is moreso than most girls in Hogwarts. Plenty of meetings in the Common Room, but few direct conversations.
Plot ideas: A whole lot of annoyance and humor perhaps? Maybe she will get something out of him, but that might lead to distancing their already distant relations depending on what exactly she does.Name: Castrus Sacre
Year 6th year
House Slytherin
Relationship: You're Cute and Just Friends
What you think of Melanie: "A lovely Slytherin. But I wish she was a bit more fiesty."
History, if any: Quidditch and the common room
Plot ideas: Friends and maybe Castrus drama?Name: Aidan Sebastian Reese
Year 7th year
House Slytherin
Relationship: <3<3<3 and ^-^^-^
What you think of Melanie: "She's really cute. Gorgeous, actually. Too bad she's so young. Then again, only three years between us... She seems really sweet, though, and kind of fragile. I happen to like that kind of thing in a girl."
History, if any: Just friends, since they're in the same house and they've known each other for about three years.
Plot ideas: Possible relationship? And most likely she'll end up getting hurt because she's really not his type. Too sweet for him. Then again, maybe she'll be the one to change him.Name: Skylar Mint
Year 6th year
House Slytherin
Relationship: gaia_left l & ^-^^-^
What you think of Melanie: "She's okay. I mean, I don't get along with her all the time, but hey that's okay; she's a slytherin, so whatever. She goes for what she wants all the times, and I've come to see that she's quite persistant in that area. But I find that respectable, so whatever. "
History, if any: House and quiddtich.
Plot ideas: If you make it publically announced you like Ryan, if it comes to that, she may start to hate you, only because he's her brother; she doesn't want anyone, especially someone who has a lot of years left (or at least next year) and can say they're related. She doesn't like that... at all. But they could become friends!  Name: Olivia Renee Zsarcaspian
Year 4th year
House Slytheirn
Relationship: Major jealousy and secret hatred; ||| but when outside of her thoughts, it just a mutual friendship, or so Melanie should think.
What you think of Melanie: “Ugghhh… do I really have to be honest with you? … Alright, then. Fine. Melanie irritates me to know end, she makes me use every ounce of patience I have, and she is the most annoying girl in Slytherin. How someone like her made it in our house, I have NO IDEA. Maybe that wretched piece of worn out material was on something when it was place on her head, I don’t know. I try my hardest to be nice, but it’s extremely difficult.”
History, if any: Ah, that first day when the first years settle down in their new room, meeting their new roommates. Olivia thought Melanie to be a bit too cheerful and bubbly, and she ultimately got on Olivia’s nerves. Although over the course of three years being together in classes and in the dorms, they developed a friendship that wasn’t as happy as normal ones, since Olivia grew tired and annoyed with her happy attitude, especially when she noticed, recently last year, that she was indeed, jealous of Melanie, though reasons are unknown to her. Secret hatred came on.
Plot ideas: Ahaha, this is too funny. I’m going to have fun with this. I think Olivia is actually going to try and NOT show her secret hatred toward Melanie, just because she needs a few friends. And I think, if Olivia’s in a good mood, she could help Melanie with her boy problems. Maybe they can become closer friends. Or it could go the other way, depending on Olivia’s and Melanie’s actions. But if it does go to a bad relationship, I think Olivia might regret it.Name: Lyra Winner
Year 4th
House Slytherin
Relationship: :ll && ^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie . . . she's . . . ah . . . pretty alright, actually. I don't hate her. And I don't love her. We share a room. I don't mind talking with her. I disagree with her being in Slytherin, but the hat put her in here for a reason . . ."
History, if any: "We're in the same year and share a dorm. We haven't really talked much, but that's not necessarily a bad thing."
Plot ideas: *double shrug*
Name: Junko Keiko Saehara
Year 5
House Slytherin
Relationship: ^-^ && :ll
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie...hm, fourth year kid? Honestly, I think the girl belongs in some other house (just not Gryffindor because then I'd hate her unconditionally for years to come). Whatever, if I was the sorting hat, I would've dug a little deeper and found something, I don't know...Slytherin worthy? She's a nice kid, but soooo not cut out for the cold-hearted cunningness of the Slytherin house."
History, if any: Conversations or something, perhaps some form of intense judgment from Junko.
Plot ideas:Hmm, I honestly don't know. :
The Gryffindors
Name: Skander Gunther McHale
Year 5th year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: On-Off Boyfriend for Almost Four Years Now, You're Definetly "That Girl", and Pretty Good Friends
What you think of Melanie: "Ahhh, the beautiful Melanie Nicole Parks. She caught my eye when she was a wee little first year getting sorted on her first day of Hogwarts. Even then I knew she'd be the girl for me. How did I know this you ask? Well it's simple, she had a way of glowing in a room, like the sun, and I could tell she was a kind person because she skipped to the stool when her name was called. How funny is that? I thought it was. Ever since that awesome day that I won her over with my adorable charm we've had an on again and off again relationship. Our relationship is pretty complicated actually. I can tell that we both really like each other--maybe even love each other--but for some reason we can't work certain things out. Like the fact that she hates the idea of being tied down, that's what she sees when I tell her I want to be her full-time boyfriend. And it hurts when she tells me this and when she breaks up with me...I just wish things would work out. I love Melanie because she makes me smile and laughs at my jokes and she tells me that she loves my voice and my quirky dance moves and when we're together she just makes me happy. Really happy. If I do end up being with Melanie forever--gawd that sounded corny, anyways--that'd be awesomely cool. But if I don't, that other guy sure is lucky."
History, if any: Skander and Melanie have had an on-off relationship since his first year, her second year. When Melanie breaks things off she leaves Skander heartbroken, but she always seems to run back to him.
Plot ideas: Skander and Melanie will get back together sooner or later, buuuuuuuut things won't last very long. Because Melanie likes having freedom, the opportunity to flirt with anyone she please, and she's very confused about how she feels right now. She thinks she might just love Skander, but now, she's hopelessly in love with Rain and doesn't know how he feels about her. I think a complicated but nice relationship is all they'll ever have. But just because I'm saying this does not mean Skander won't fall for anyone else. No! He's totally open to dating other girls, okay? So yea, very complicated relationship that even I hardly understand.
Name: Leigh Guidry
Year 3rd year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: ^-^
What you think of Melanie: "I haven't seen a quality in Melanie that makes her fit the Slytherin stereotype... well except on the Quidditch pitch. Then, she can scare me - like, I should fear for my life. But I know that once the game finishes, she'll turn back to normal."
History, if any: Leigh can't quite remember, but she probably bumped into Melanie at one point. When they first spoke, it surprised Leigh that she was actually in Slytherin, as Melanie didn't put her down... not once.
Plot ideas: Oh! Maybe, At one of the matches, if Gryffindor wins, and Slytherin loses... Leigh will go up to Melanie and expect her to be happy-peppy... but something may have gotten Melanie, and made her snap... uh-oh!
Name: Adelaide Burkley
Year 6th year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: ^-^ - I think you're okay and a little bit of : | - I don't like you
What you think of Melanie: "Er- who is that again? The name rings a bell... ohhh. I know her. She's a Slytherin... meh. She's fine, I guess, I don't have any big issues with her. She seems like the vulnerable girly type. And is a Slytherin. Sooo... I dun know. Melanie needs to get some back bone. And stop drolling over boys. Plus, I don't think she likes me guts very much. she often mentions about how much she doesn't like "goths" . . . . . not that I'm goth."
History, if any: Nothing, really. Alice has only heard of Melanie before, and she thinks she's talked to her before. Maybe even fooled around? Who knows.
Plot ideas: Maybe becoming more trusting friends, and just a few conversations here and there. Alice may get a tad bit jealous of Melanie because Rain's sort of interested in her.
Name: Fidelious Violino (Fig)
Year 3rd year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: <33 - taking second glances and ^-^^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Hee, Melanie? I like her, in just a small way, though, since she is in a different house than me. And she is a year older- (BUMMER!)- We have had some conversations in the past, only 'cause I am with Rain, or even Alice, but sometimes I think she thinks I am weird. Is that a good thing? I do not know. Is it the way I speak? It is not my fault I have a small accent and was raised to speak this way!"
History, if any: Nothing real huge, Fig just has always liked Melanie, but wasn't too interesting, because of the differences of houses (Slytherin = Gryffindor's enemy) but when you think about it, his best friend is from Slytherin... Fig's only spoken to her a few times, and tends to become slightly dumbfounded by her gorgeous blue eyes (droollll~). He can't help that he's part of the male species!
Plot ideas: Becoming slightly closer friends, but not too much, and maybe some flirting in between the short conversations. But how is he suposed to concentrate on flirting when he's hypnotized by her eyes?!
 Name: Oliver Wood
Year 4th year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: ^-^ just an acquaintance, but a little bit :l
What you think of Melanie: "I think the only thing Melanie has going for her is her determination on the pitch. Other than that, her perkiness and happy-go-lucky Slytherin attitude makes me want to stay away."
History, if any: Well, they're in the same year and have had a few classes together... secretly, Melanie kind of annoys Oliver.
Plot ideas: As much as she may think it's impossible to resist her charm, I assure you it can be done.
Name: Bellacissa Love d'Mort
Year 2nd year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: ^-^ - I'll condone you & <3 - Cute
What you think of Melanie: "Slytherin, the supreme house they usually claim themselves to be. This one seems different though, she's not like mom, not in the vile cruel supreme way mom behaves herself. On top of which I've never caught her cornering other students or being snobbish. She gives me hope, not all Slytherin have to be like my mom, I could really like this girl I think =D She makes my stomach jump sometimes though, her eyes are just so..intriguing"
History, if any: N/A
Plot ideas: Having a conversation and getting to know each other, maybe over some Quidditch practice.
Name: Bailey Ann Thompson
Year 1st year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: ^-^ or ^-^^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie's really really really really super sweet! Almost, like, too sweet... Makes you wonder why she's in Slytherin, kind of... Anyway, it's hard for me to tell if her friendliness is just an act or if it's genuine."
History, if any: Nope, not really.
Plot ideas: Maybe they could be friends? Break down some gryffindor-slytherin barriers.
Name: Matthias Ibn-La'Ahad
Year 5th year
House Gryffindor
Relationship: :l
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie? The bubbly, happy-go-lucky Slytherin with the enchanting eyes? She seems really nice-but knowing Slytherins, it could be an act leading to betrayal. I'll keep my eyes on her, and my heart out of her grasp until some viable proof is shown."
History, if any: On the Pitch.
Plot ideas: Perhaps she could prove me wrong-or try to.
Name: Jane Tian Drisscoll
Year fifth
House Gryffindor
Relationship: “I think you’re okay” and some “I don’t like you” but not really (?).
What you think of Melanie: “I think Melanie’s a bit…over the top for her liking of boys. Not to be hypocritical or anything, I do love boys as much as the next girl – though not like her. We’re a bit of the same, I guess, the way we’re always smiling…I have to admit, a bit strange from a Slytherin, but hey, I hate labels. She is my junior, being a year under me, and, so I’ve heard, the girlfriend of my fellow Gryffindor, Skander, so I guess I can start to like her…”
History, if any: Hmm. Just some double takes in the hallways – maybe witnessed her flirtings with guys.
Plot ideas: Not really any, but maybe if Jane’s feelings towards Skander develop into something true, maybe some jealousy and I don’t know. :]
The Hufflepuffs
Name: Mackenzie Alexanders
Year 4th year
House Hufflepuff
Relationship: ^-^^-^^-^^-^^-^ - Best Friends Forever!
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie's my bestest friend in the whole wide world! She's been here for me since the day I met her here at Hogwarts. We have lots in common but we're also different, ya know? She's so nice and can give me advice if I need it, and vise-versa. She, as a friend, completes me. And it's nice that she hasn't ever made fun of my American accent, which I truly and dearly appreciate. It's hard though being her friend when it comes to Slytherin versus Hufflepuff in quidditch! I'm afraid she's going to kill me though we play different positions!"
History, if any: They've been best friends since the day they met. And they talk to each other about everything!
Plot ideas: Keep staying the same, but maybe get in an argument over a boy? Who knows with these two...
Name: Kamille Sirianni
Year 5th year
House Hufflepuff
Relationship: ^-^ & :l
What you think of Melanie: "She's okay I guess. I don't know, I don't really like her that much. But I don't hate her. I really shouldn't dislike her it's just that she's TOO bubbly and fun you know? it feels almost fake, and another thing...I KNOW that Rain likes her, he hangs around her so much and the way he looks at her....."
History, if any: None really, she sees her sometimes in classes.
Plot ideas: Nothing much lets just hope Kami doesn't get too jealous.
 Name: Shaynne Hollywood Randle
Year 5th year
House Hufflepuff
Relationship: <3<3<3<3 and ^-^^-^^-^^-^^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie is one amazing and smart girl. I never did know about her until Mac introduced us to each other. When I met her I kind of had a funny feeling in my stomach and it's kind of like that when she has to help me out with my classes since I'm so dumb. I've gone to her before about problems and she does tend to liten very well. She digs pretty cool."
History, if any: They have been great friends since Mac introduced them, Hollywood's Melanie's biggest fan when it comes to quidditch so he gets some odd looks from people.
Plot ideas: Getting together? But having some troubles along the way? Not for sure though!
Name: Mary Regina Perison
Year 4th year
House Hufflepuff
Relationship: ^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie seems like a nice person. We're not super close, but we are pretty good friends. I've talked to her a couple of times without Mac there. To be truthfully honest, it's a little strange."
History, if any: Conversations, however awkward they may be.
Plot ideas: Better friends
Name: Quinton Zsarcaspian
Year 6th year
House Hufflepuff
Relationship: In-Between Acquantainces and Friends, Passing Glances
What you think of Melanie: “Who-Mac’s friend? Hey, yeah, I know who you’re talking about. The one with the freakishly beautiful eyes? Yep. Oh, she’s pretty. Too bad she’s in Slytherin, otherwise she’d be a target. Of course, she seems friendly and not… well, evil, to but it bluntly. So maybe I could let my dislike for anything Slytherin related decrease a little, let it slip. Heh. She seems vulnerable.”
History, if any: Ms. Parks and I met through Mac- when I was innocently cracking a few jokes at “Hollywood”’s--snicker---name and hair, while Mac was defending him. Of course Melanie wanted to protect her little Hufflepuff friends from the older Hufflepuff, but I could see her trying retrain from laughing. So, of course I was like “Hey, she thought I was funny and not completely repulsive!” So I flirted a little, said my goodbye while Mac and Hollywood ((Hahaha)) I hadn’t quite really gotten to know her, and quite frankly, I didn’t really want to
Plot ideas: I was thinking of just something very minor, just a brief romance when Melanie’s NOT with either Rain or the other guy (what was his name?) that‘ll start with a very irritating interrogation with Mac from Quinton and then will end with Melanie‘s heart broken, or maybe not. Olivia‘ll probably support the break-up with Quinton, and will try to convince Melanie that she could do much better (and that‘s not just completely because she hates her older brother)
The Ravenclaws
Name: Masika Sabah Het-heru
Year 6th year
House Ravenclaw
Relationship: ^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie? ...Melanie...Oh! her! Um...I'm not sure, we don't really talk, because we don't exactly have much in common...and she's well...a Slytherin. Not big on those so far...but I guess I should give her a chance. She seems nice."
History, if any: Well, a passing glance in the hallways, but that's about it.
Plot ideas: Friends, perhaps.
Name: Zaidin Matthew Berkeley
Year 7th year
House Ravenclaw
Relationship: ^-^
What you think of Melanie: "Melanie seems nice. It's too bad the age difference and everything. I would talk to her more, she's a slytherin, right? Whatever. She seems nice, that's all that matters really. Your house doesn't define you."
History, if any: Not much, really.
Plot ideas: Zaidin's pretty good for hugs. :]
 Name: Alanis Jenson
Year 3rd year
House Ravenclaw
Relationship: :ll
What you think of Melanie: "... She's just like that one American witch in Hufflepuff! Happy go-lucky like nothings wrong... She doesn't seem like a Slytherin at all, from what I've heard, which hasn't been much... supposably, a lot of girls are jealous of her eyes. I'm not. Because they're almost the same color."
History, if any: None, just halls, and a slight annoyance from what she's heard around.
Plot ideas: I dun know, prolly just... nothing. Ahah. And possibly more annoyance.
Name: Ryan Leon Martin
Year 7th year
House Ravenclaw
Relationship: <3 & ^-^^-^
What you think of Melanie: "For a Slytherin, she's pretty nice and plays quidditch very well. She's also pretty cute, but I don't think of her anything else than a friend. She's quite determined, or so I've come to find, and we seem pretty alike. I don't know what to say about her, in truth."
History, if any: Friends/conversations. Not much else.
Plot ideas: I can't say I have any, but friends sounds good.
Name: Ophelia Ozma.
Year 6th
House Ravenclaw
Relationship: You're Cute
What you think of Melanie: "So is sooooo cute! Omigod. She's a nice little ray of sunshine in the room, ya know? We're pretty alright friends, I guess. I've spoken to her some than some Slytherins. She really makes you realize that those House prejudices are dumb and no one should pay attention to them."
History, if any: "We've talked a bit, but nothing too extensive."
Plot ideas: *shrug*

[[my thoughts]] The Slytherins Name: Zaccheus Dane
Relationship: She Think He's Cute and A Bit of Irritation
What I think of Zaccheus: "Well I guess you could Zacch is err...what's a nice way to put this? Err, odd? He seems to be a loner and I wonder why, since he is in the same house as me, I hope that I could break him out of his shell. The dark hair and eyes he has are great though, really cute."
History, if any: They might have talked once, Melanie can't remember. But they've seen each other in the halls and in the common room.
Plot ideas: Melanie might try to break him out of his shell, she thinks he's too much of a cutie to be so lonely!
 Name: Olivia Zsarcaspian
Relationship: Just Friends (and in Melanie's mind) Verging and Close Friends
What I think of Olivia: "Of course I know Olivia! She's actually one of my dorm mates and one of the few friends that I have in Slytherin. We met each other on the first day of school because we were both sorted into Slytherin! And than, later, we both got assigned to the same dorm! How cool is that? I talk to Olivia a lot since we share a dorm and all. A lot of people don't like her and I think that's wrong. I mean, so what if she appears like she's not listening to you? She is. She's kind of quiet around most, but that's kind of nice actually. I guess you could sat she's my exact opposite? Yea, that sounds right..."
History, if any: Well like you said, on that first day with dorm assignments Olivia and Melanie ended up being in the same dorm! Lucky Olivia! Haha. Melanie talks to Olivia a lot, having no clue in the world that she annoys Olivia. Whenever Olivia enters the dorms and Melanie is all ready in there she often let's out a loud and cheery, "Hey Olivia!" She sees Olivia as one of her few friends in Slytherin, so she does talk to her quite a bit.
Plot ideas: Well your idea seems like fun! Well the only thing I know is that Melanie will probably still annoy Olivia. Haha.
 Name: Rain Larks
Relationship: Hopelessly In Love With Rain, Possible Future Girlfriend ((and Wife!? lols)) and We Know Each Other Well
What I think of Rain: "Of course I know Rain! He's one of the sweetest, coolest, and best looking guys I know! Lately I've been thinking about him a lot lately, which I know sounds weird but I have! I think I might well...*whispers* be in love with Rain. Don't tell him I said this though! I'd be so embarressed if he found out and he didn't feel the same way! So I'll just continue being his friend so things won't be weird between us. I'd hate it if I made Rain feel weird, so I'll keep on going on with life as usual. I just want Rain to be happy, if he's happy, I'm happy. Oh I guess I should say some more nice things about him, huh? Well for starters he's always such a gentleman. He's easy to talk to you and he obviously cares about his friends. All in all, Rain is plainly amazing."
History, if any: They haven't been friends for very long, but they've always talked to each other and sometimes bring out the best in each other. A few flirts have bounced back and forth. And lately Melanie has realized she really does enjoy Rain's presence and wants to spend more time with him. She's basically in love with him, but doesn't want to believe that she is. She can't believe that she has fallen in love so soon. And not knowing that Rain feels the same way, she hasn't expressed her feeling with him.
Plot ideas: Well since Rain and Melanie obviously don't know that they both feel the same way about each other I think they'll have this constant struggle of trying not too act to weird around each other. Melanie and Rain will form a strong bond of friendship and look out for each other. Like Mel will be very concerned if Rain goes out with other girls or when Alice (or somebody else that's important to him) makes him sad/upset. She'll constantly look out for him and try to make him happy by just being herself. Hopefully Rain will tell her how he feels! Though it will take a while. (unfortunately)
 Name: Skylar Martin
Relationship: Friends, Trying Hard to Verge Onto Pretty Good Friends; And Possibly Annoyance in the near future
What I think of Skylar: "Skylar! Yes, I know her! Before we weren't really that good of friends, I mean, we would talk and such but I didn't really consider her a true friend until the end of third year, beginning of this year. She kind of has two sides of her. I see the nice side of her most of the time, but sometimes I see the typical slytherin side to her. I think that when she's in her "slytherin mood" I kind of annoy her, but she knows that that's just how I am. I trust her, and I hope that maybe I can rely on her, be able to confide in her, and that she can do the same with me. Oh! and I almost forgot! We're quidditch buddies! Yupyup! Since we're like the only girls on the slytherin quidditch team, it's so much fun."
History, if any: Same house ever since Melanie was sorted into slytherin on her first day at hogwarts. They've had conversations since then and had a weird bond over quidditch. Recently they've both considered each other as friends.
Plot ideas: Erm, I dunno really since they've become friends now. Maybe like Skylar can look out for Melanie? Be there for her when Melanie goes out and gets her little heart broken? Oh! Like you know how Melanie gets all worked up about quidditch and doesn't like act like herself when it comes to it? Well maybe Skylar and Melanie can like show the guys on the slytherin that they are tough, and whip those boys into winning shape! Girl power, cheyea! :] Name: Aidan Reese
Relationship: Crush on Aidan, Just Friends, and Mutual Flirting
What you think of Aidan: "I know that most people don't like Aidan, well, actually more like hate Aidan, but I don't. In fact, he's a good friend of mine. Though I often wish we were more than friends though, there's just something that attracts me to him. Is it his bad-boy factor? I honestly don't know..but I do know that he doesn't treat girls right, but he's almost always been there for me. I mean come on, he couldn't always be there for me, that'd be impossible! *giggles* He's definetly gorgeous, you can't deny that fact."
History, if any: Just friends since they're in the same house in all. In Diagon Alley they had a sort of ice cream date where Aidan ditched Melanie. ((jerk! lol, just kidding, just kidding!)) And on September 1st he surprised Melanie by kindly inviting her to sit in the last compartment with him, Rain, and Skylar. But on the way there Melanie sort of ditched him to go find Rain.
Plot ideas: Well, right now, Melanie's kind of confused in between choosing Rain or Aidan. I think she'll make a lot of mistakes along the way. And possibly a relationship? Sort of like a using relationship I guess? Like Aidan is using Melanie to get his mind off Alice and Melanie is sort of using him to get her mind off Rain? What do you think?
 Name: Lyra Winner
Relationship: Acquaintances
What I think of William: "Lyra's one of my dormmates! Though you'd think with that situation we'd talk more and all, but I actually have only spoken to Lyra a few times. She seems kind of mean, but I kind of admire her for her flat out honesty--unless she'd say something mean to me. She's an okay person, she hasn't yet spoken an unkind word to me so she's okay in my book!"
History, if any: Dormmates, same house, same classes being in the same year, very few coversations.
Plot ideas: Er I don't really have anything. Unless Lyra finds a bad thing to say to Melanie than she might get upset. But that's all I got.
 Name: Raphael Stark
Relationship: Good Friends, Possibly Pretty Good Friends
What I think of Raphael: "Yea, I know Raph! We're actually pretty good friends. Well not in the "confinding in you" sort of friends, but more like the "hey we get along with each other and sometimes hang out" sort of friends. He's really cute but I don't feel any sort of romantic feelings towards him. He flirts with me sometimes but it's for his entertainment really since it kind of bugs me that he flirts with me just like every other girl he thinks is good looking. I just wish that he'd be more considerate I guess. Sometimes I feel as though I want to change him, to show him that even though flirting is fun, it can seriously hurt someone if things end up badly. And sooner or later that person might be him. But yea, getting off of that subject I like Raph. He's normally nice to me so I like him a lot. As a friend that is. Just a friend, yea."
History, if any: Melanie met Raph in her first year at hogwarts. They didn't have too much in common expect for their blood status and the fact that they were both placed in slytherin. Over the years they've grown to actually become friends with Raph's occasional flirts with Melanie. If Melanie's in the mood (but normally she isn't) she'd sometimes flirt back.
Plot ideas: -none, out of ideas-
The Gryffindors Name: Skander McHale
Relationship: On-Off Girlfriend for Almost Four Years Now, In Skander's Mind: You're Definetly That Girl, and Pretty Good Friends
What I think of Skander: "Well as probably you and the rest of the school knows, Skander and I have had an on-off relationship since my first year at Hogwarts. So, his second year at Hogwarts. We, sort of have a...complicated relationship. We both really, really--okay so maybe love--each other, but can't seem to work things out. Skander wants to be my full-time boyfriend, but I don't like the idea of being tied down just yet. So I normally break things off, leaving Skander heartbroken. And it makes me feel absolutely horrible! Whenever I break up with him I go somewhere and cry to myself, wondering how I could be so cruel and break his heart like that. It's something that I just can't explain...I know that I love Skander, but I don't know if it's true love. It's...ugh...complicated, no joke. Skander will always be there for me, will always make me laugh and smile, and always make me love him, for just being him, Skander Gunther McHale. But now, going into fourth year I'm more confused than ever about him and our complicated relationship. I should end this on a good note, huh? Skander is an absolutely wonderful guy, really, I'd be stupid not to realize that."
History, if any: Melanie and Skander have had an on and off relationship ever since Melanie's very first year at Hogwarts. He won her over by making her laugh and making her feel like she was someone special. Though it's almost always Melanie that ends their relationship she can't help but run back to Skander, she knows that he's special, and she thinks that he might "be the one for her," but she doesn't know yet.
Plot ideas: Well Melanie and Skander will eventually get back together, sooner or later, buuut it won't last very long. Because Melanie likes having freedom, the opportunity to flirt with anyone she please, and she's very confused about how she feels right now. She thinks she might just love Skander, but now, she's hopelessly in love with Rain and doesn't know how he feels about her. I think a complicated but nice relationship is all they'll ever have. But just because I'm saying this does not mean Skander won't fall for anyone else. No! He's totally open to dating other girls, okay?
 Name: Bailey Ann Thompson
Relationship: Younger sister sort of thing and I know your name
What I think of Bailey: "Bailey Ann's a first year, I think and she's super cute! She'll break hearts. For some reason though I don't know her, I think of her almost as if she's like my younger sister, weird huh?"
History, if any: Nope, it's Bailey's first year.
Plot ideas: Melanie will most likely treat her like a younger sister due to age difference. She'll be there if Bailey needs advice on anything!
 Name: George Weasley
Relationship: Crush on George and Buddies
What I think of George: "George in my opinion, is the nicer of the set of twins. Though he's just as much of a prankster as his brother Fred. I heard he's the main inventor when it comes to their jokes and prank items, he has to be smart to do things like that. So I think if he applied himself more to schoolwork he'd be atleast an average student. He's really cute for a second year I must say."
History, if any: Melanie's most likely been pranked on before by George and his twin. Also, they've been friends. Melanie's flirted a bit with him and though he's in his second year, has a crush on him.
Plot ideas: A possible relationship? Age may or may not play a key point.
 Name: Belletrix Narcissa (Bellacissa)
Relationship: We sort of know each other
What I think of Bella: "Well I don't know her that well being a second year and all but she doesn't seem that bad. In fact, she seems nice, I also noticed that she's on the reserve team for quidditch! Hopefully I'll be able to play against her sometime! I wonder if she has anything against me for being a Slytherin though..."
History, if any: None for now
Plot ideas: Having a conversation and getting to know each other. If she needs help with charms, Melanie might be able to help! (If wanted of course)
 Name: Fidelious Violino (Fig)
Relationship: Thinks He's Cute and Acquaintances
What I think of Fig: "Fig is so energetic! It's really cute and works for him. He tends to talk odly though, the few times I've spoken to him he's kinda hard to understand, but I guess it's just the way his sentences go. He seems like a really good friend to Alice and Rain which is really cool."
History, if any: They've spoken a few times, but only in apolite manner, the "not wanting be rude by not talking to you" matter
Plot ideas: Finding interests that we have in common? Becoming friends? Who knows...
 Name: Leigh Guidry
Relationship: Acquaintances
What I think of Leigh: "Leigh is a year after me but she seems really nice..and funny. Well she's funny because of her personality and because that things tend to blow up around her, which is odd because things tend to dissappear around me..Well anways she seems like she would be a fun person to hang out with and is a bit of competion to get the quaffle sometimes!"
History, if any: They might have talked twice and they've played Quidditch against each other a few times in the past few years.
Plot ideas: They could become friends, if their house rivalries in Quidditch don't get in the way...
 Name: Oliver Wood
Relationship: Small Crush on Oliver and Acquaintances
What I think of Oliver: "Oliver? Wow, what can I say, he's one a-mazing guy. Seriously, no joke. He's absolutely gorgeous, good at quidditch, friendly to most, and I think he gets good grades. I don't if he likes me too much though, being on the Slytherin quidditch team and the fact that I have to score on him. With him in front of the goals, I've got more of a challenge than usual!"
History, if any: They've talked a bit, played quidditch against each other, and Melanie's flirted with him.
Plot ideas: Oliver avoiding Melanie, haha, she scares him a bit.
 Name: Adelaide Burkley (Alice)
Relationship: Acquaintances and Slight Jealousy
What I think of Alice: "Alice? Oh well she seems really nice, the one thing I like about her is that she's really feisty for being so small and seems to always be there for her friends. Which I see as a great trait. We don't reall talk much, it seems as though she doesn't like Slytherins that much...or does she just not like me? Well I hope it's not the latter...."
History, if any: They might have talked to each other two or three times and even slightly joked around a bit.
Plot ideas: Well since they've only talked a little bit Melanie hopes they can become okay friends. And now, maybe even get into a fight about who gets Rain?
 Name: Jane Driscoll
Relationship: Acquaintances
What I think of Jane: "Jane? Er, yes, I think I know who you're asking about. Where do I know her from? ....Oh! She's one of Skander's really good friends! That's where I know her from. I don't know her that well, but I know that Skander likes her, mostly as a friend, but still. I guess you could say I'm a bit jealous of her, since she gets to hang around Skander anytime she wants since their both in the same house and year. But other than my slight jealousy issue, she seems really nice. Maybe if I put my jealousy aside we could become friends."
History, if any: Nothing much really. Melanie met Jane through Skander and since then she's seen him hanging around her. She's jealous of Jane, though she would never admit it to Skander, or Jane for that matter.
Plot ideas: I think that if Skander and Jane do end up having relationship Melanie will become extremely jealous and will confront Jane, telling her not to break his heart like she had so many times. Because really, Melanie doesn't think she's ever fair to Skander. And with that Jane might tell Melanie off based on the things she's heard on the fourth year slytherin. If that doesn't happen maybe they could be friends, or become more trusting of each other at least.
Name: Matthias Ibn La-Ahad
Relationship: Know Each Other's Names
What I think of Matthias: "Matthias the fifth year Gryffindor? Oh, yes, he seems to be quiet, but he tends to get in fights that don't concern him, or so I've heard...this thing kind of intrigues me..I haven't spoken to him but I've played quidditch against him! He doesn't seem to like me very much though, haha like most, I'll try to change his mind about me."
History, if any: Played quidditch against each other, and most likely know each other's names. Well, Melanie knows his.
Plot ideas: Melanie might try to become friends with him, she thinks he'd make a good friend.
The Hufflepuffs Name: Mary Perison
Relationship: Acquaintances
What I think of Mary: "Mary's in the same year as me and is pretty funny. We had to partner up one time in potions and it was hard to not laugh at all the jokes that she was cracking. I was in a pretty off mood that day, which is unusual for me and I guess she noticed."
History, if any: That situation in potions from above and in the same year, so classes together. Have played quidditch against each other.
Plot ideas: Better friends?
 Name: Mackenzie Alexanders (Mac/Kenzie)
Relationship: ^-^^-^^-^^-^^-^ - BFFAE!
What I think of Mac: "Mac is my best friend forever and ever and in my opinion, a total sweet-heart. She's been there for me since the day we errr not excatly met but bumped into each other! No joke! So she's definetly not annoyed with me like some people are. Friendship-wise, she's kind of like my other half. Haha, sorry found me saying that kind of funny, since that expression is used for lovers. But it's totally not like that with us! It's also funny that we both have amazing blue eyes. The only difficult thing is being in different houses so we don't get to hang out that much. But I'm glad she has nothing against me even though I'm a Slytherin"
History, if any: Best friends since that sunny day they met.
Plot ideas: Continue being best friends but maybe have the once-in-awhile friends drama.
 Name: Kamille Sirianni
Relationship: You're Okay and You Irritate Me A Bit
What I think of Kamille: "Well she seems nice enough but....well she just doesn't seem to like me very much. She kind of gives me these cold looks whenever I'm with Rain...does she like him? And also, though she's in Hufflepuff and a beater, like my best friend Mac, doesn't mean she can steal her! It seems as though she's trying to pull Mac away from me sometimes...okay, scratch that, most of the time..."
History, if any: Nothing really, Kami has given her some cold looks though.
Plot ideas: Hopefully no arguements, but you never know.
 Name: Shaynne Randle (Hollywood)
Relationship: In Love with him, but doesn't know it and Best Friends
What I think of Hollywood: "Hollywood's one of my best friends! Along with Mac of course. He keeps on telling me that he's dumb when I help him out with his homework and spellwork, but he's really not! He just lacks the attention span! He just always wants to be doing something exciting! That's what I love about him, you never know what you're going to get! Like when I heard him sing for the first time, that took me by surprise! It practically swept me off my feet. Also, my stomach felt like a huge ton of frogs were jumping in it when I first met him! He's just so gorgeous and nice! Is that stomach thing normal? I sure hope so..."
History, if any: Tight friends and secret mutual crushing.
Plot ideas: Continuing be close friends with their mutual crushing for each other kept at a hush-hush level.
 Name: Quinton Zsarcaspian
Relationship: Subtle Flirting and Acquaintances
What I think of Quinton: "Really, really cute. But he's also pretty funny, which is what most people know him by. I mean like everyone knows who he is because of his witty and sarcastic remarks. Everyone has been made fun of by him at least once, including me. Though he's made fun of Mac because of her accent doesn't mean I hate him, a lot of people do. Make fun of her accent that is. Well, probably a lot of people don't like him too...but I'm not one of those people. I just wish he was a bit more concious of people's feelings."
History, if any: Melanie actually met Quinton when she was looking for Mac and Hollywood one day. Of course he was cracking jokes at Hollywood's greaser style and attitude and Mac's accent. But she had to admit, he was pretty funny. Ever since that day she's kept her eyes on him since he is very attractive.
Plot ideas: Well if Quinton could be into a younger girl like Melanie, than a possible (and short, haha) relationship? If he were to ask she'd say yes right away due to the way he's kind of charmed her. And than Hollywood (or Rain) might have to beat him up because he would have hurt Mel's feelings.
The Ravenclaws  Name: Alanis Jensen
Relationship: We Know Each Other By Name
What I think of Alanis: "I know her face and name but not really as a person. She seems okay I think, but I could be wrong. From what I heard about what she's like our personalities might clash a bit."
History, if any: Passing glances in the halls. That's it.
Plot ideas: Nothing, I don't see interaction except annoyance on Alanis' part.
 Name: Rosaline Windsor
Relationship: Last Meeting and a bit of Aggrevation
What I think of Rosaline: "Though not too many people annoy me, Rosaline does a bit. Not too much, but a bit. I don't it just seems as though she gets what she wants so easily. Hopefully I might see through this and just ignore her for a bit and try to see what she's really like.."
History, if any: Nothing really, they haven't interacted due to Melanie's slight annoyance.
Plot ideas: Maybe more annoyance and avoiding from Melanie, but she might eventually come around and see what Rosaline's really like.
 Name: Masika Het-Heru
Relationship: Acquaintances
What I think of Masika: "Masika? Well she seems really quiet to me, I've seen her around the school but never really stopped to talk to her. She seems hesitant to me, always been interested in why she's the way she is though...not that it's bad or anything! It's not, just different from me. She does seem nice though."
History, if any: They haven't ever talked before but they have seen each other around the school I think...
Plot ideas: Talk at least once, get to know each other?
 Name: Zaidin Berkeley
Relationship: Almost Acquaintances
What I think of Zaidin: "Zaidin's an....interesting character. He seems nice but I've hard that he's a had a hard past and that he's totally in love with Masika. I think they'd make a cute couple, so I hope everything between them works out for the better...."
History, if any: -None-
Plot ideas: A few conversations, if Zaidin needs anyone to talk to, talk to Melanie. She'll listen.
 Name: Ryan Martin
Relationship: Glances from Afar and Acquaintances
What I think of Ryan: "Ryan? He seems like such a sweetheart and he's really smart. He's also pretty cute, but of course, he's a few years older than me. But it's a good combo: cute, smart, and nice. I heard he's a keeper sub for Ravenclaw. I hope I get to see him play or even play against him for that matter. Would be fun."
History, if any: Melanie's always viewed as cute, but has never mentioned. A few casual conversations and watching from a distance.
Plot ideas: I dunno, their personalities seem alike, so good friends?
 Name: Ophelia Ozma
Relationship: Acquaintances, going on Friends (possibly)
What I think of Ophelia: "I know Ophelia! I've talked to her a few times actually. She's super nice. Since she's two years older than me I kind of view her as the older sister type. She hasn't tried anything on me yet, which I am very glad about, because I think if she tried to I dunno "make a move" on me I'd freak out. I'm not into girls like that, so, yea. But anyways if she keeps her body parts to herself I think we could be good friends!"
History, if any: Well Melanie and Ophelia have only talked a few times, but their conversations were quite pleasant. Nothing was tried or overdone, so Melanie was happy to talk to her.
Plot ideas: I think if they talk more Melanie might view Ophelia as an older sister type. What do you think? Possibly Ophelia could look out for Melanie? In an older sister way that is.

[[current status]]  I'm feeling: upset, angry, and extremely stupid. Yea I know, that's a lot of feelings to be feeling at once.
I'm thinking: 'How could I have been so stupid and blind? Surely Skander has flirted with Jane before..have I just been to oblivious to notice it before?'
I'm with: Skylar Martin, Rain Larks, and a ton of other students.
I'm wearing: My slytherin school uniform, which I wear with pride even though I'm still puzzled over the fact that I was placed in slytherin. Look to your right for specifics.
I really wish that: I could stop crying and that I wasn't so darn sensitive. I bet everybody's looking at me now. Oh tears, please stop falling!introduction - melanie nicole parks - wanna be in my story? - those in my story - my thoughts - my schedule - in the trunk - [[current status]] - history between us - my loving family

[[history between us]]  [[diagon alley - saturday, august 25th 1990]] After getting all of my school supplies and new robes (I grew over the summer) I met up with Hollywood. I really needed some new quills, ink, and parchment so I dragged Hollywood with me into Inks 'n' Things Stationary Shop. After bugging Hollywood I got him to buy some ink, parchment and quills, too. Right after Hollywood glumly paid the nice sales lady a hufflepuff girl in my year, Asia, walked into the store. We had a pleasant conversation about our summers and quidditch, well, that is until I made a sort of unkind comment to Asia. I really didn't mean to! It just sort of slipped out! I always get too worked up when it comes to quidditch. Feeling bad, I wrote her a letter with a sincere apology even though she was a few steps away. When Asia left I looked at Hollywood's watch, I thought that we had been in the store for a while..and I was right. We were late meeting Mac at Twilfit and Tattings! (She needed some new dress robes) I quickly grabbed Hollywood's hand and we dashed out of the store. At first I was kind of being dragged by Hollywood but I soon got used to the pace and was able to run alongside with him.
 Our sprinting stopped to a quick halt when we arrived at the door of Twilfit and Tatting's. Through the window I could see Mac, she looked so beautiful and happy in that blue, modern day cinderella dress! Hollywood and I cautiously walked into the store, dropping our once held hands as soon as we heard the bell from the door ring. Almost as soon as the three of us were together Aidan walked in! I blushed when he hugged me and quickly kissed my blushing cheek. After quickly apologizing for the way Mac and Hollywood acting, Aidan kindly offered to buy me some ice cream. I accepted the offer and joked around telling him that I was only going because the ice cream was on him. I would have gone anyway if I had to pay, he just has me hooked on him that way I guess. At Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Parlour I met Aidan's mother for the third of fourth time I think, but as usual, she didn't remember me. When we got into the ice cream parlour Aidan casually and carefully wrapped his arms around the waist while I tried to decide what I wanted; there were so many flavors and topping to choose from! I finally settled on a vanilla sundae with hot fudge, whip cream, and nuts, adding puppy dog eyes in Aidan's direction. He got the same but with a cherry on top.
 We had a nice talk about going to Hogwarts soon, I was super excited and Aidan, was well, not as excited as I was about it. A little while later, with my sundae half eaten, Aidan announced that he had leave. He, unlike me, still had some shopping to do. With a quick hug he left me inside the ice cream parlour, along with our sundaes; his mother quickly following behind him. This got me worried, did she know about my parents' secret? No she possibly couldn't have, I kept the secret well along with them. I watched the people in the alley as I finished up my ice cream, letting Aidan's melt without any concern in my mind. After finishing the sundae up I threw both the cups away and muttered a small goodbye to the two ravenclaws that I didn't notice before in the ice cream parlour. I think their names were Zaito and Rosaline. When I stepped into the cold, breezy air outside for what seemed like the 100th time I realized that I didn't want to go back to Mac and Hollywood, I knew they'd just ask me a million questions about my "date" with Aidan. And I think Hollywood would have been less than thrilled that he left me at the ice cream parlour, possibly wanting to throw a few punches. So intead of walking back to Twilfit and Tatting's I went inside my absolute favorite store in Diagon Alley: Quality Quidditch Supplies. The Nimbus 1700 was sitting in the display window and I just had to have it.
 I knew I had enough for it so I went up to the counter where the rude salesman was sitting. He looked as though he had never rode a broom in his life or cracked open a book. When I told him I wanted to buy the nimbus 1700 he just laughed, asking me if I had enough money to pay for it. Of course I did! But instead of snapping a retort at him I just told him kindly that I did have enough, shoving my money bag towards him. Boy the look on his face when he was done counting my money! After making sure my purchase was secure in my hands I turned around to none other than the Weasley twins, Fred and George. They complimented me on my purchase which made me smile. Of course a few joking insults were thrown in by them both, Fred even mentioned getting "my arse kicked" in quidditch this year. I smiled, I knew I was a pretty decent chaser, there was no way the Weasley twins would stop me from scoring! We talked some more about quidditch and I even got to throw in some pretty lame comebacks before George changed the subject, asking how my summer was. Not too long after I answered it was time for the boys to get home, along with their adorable younger brother Ronald. I too, went home after we said our farewells. [[king's cross station - september 1st, 1990]] I entered King's Cross Station with a ready smile. As usual I was there with my parents, where following very closely behind me, almost too close too comfort but not quite there. This year was different though, I entered with a new family member in my arms, my kitten Jeff, a birthday present from my parents. Of course my parents had to leave almost as soon I was safely at the station, in front of the barrier, with all of my things, they couldn't risk anyone from the dark side recognizing them. I was used to it by now though, it's like that every single year. I was just beginning to wonder how on earth I was going to get three huge and heavy trunks through the barrier and then on the Hogwarts Express (yes, I know that's a ton of stuff, but I need it all, really) when I heard a familar voice. Skylar must have seen all my thing because she kindly offered to help me, a bit out of character for her. I was so grateful for her help though, even though I had been working out in the summer (only because I wanted to be in shape for quidditch), I knew I wouldn't be able to handle three trolleys. Skylar and I started to talk about quidditch (of course), how we were determined to make this quidditch year the best one yet. Whether or not the guys on the team trained or not..well, that was a different story.
 After I told Skylar about my splurge in Diagon Alley we were about to go through the barrier (me first with two trolleys) when Aidan suddenly came out of the barrier. I guess he had put his things on the train before meeting anyone since he was empty handed. He wrapped his arms around Skylar and I, playfully ruffling her hair. He asked if we needed some help with our luggage and before we could answer Aidan took two trolleys, one of mine and Skylar's single trolley, and walked through the barrier, waiting on the other side for us. I was relieved that I was only left with one trolley plus Jeff but was still unsure about follwing after him. I questioned the older slytherin girl before I joking waved to Skylar as if I wasn't going to see her in a while, and went through the barrier with a smile on my face. I found Aidan rather quickly, his golden-blonde hair was hard to miss. I noticed he was looking at his left leg with a look of frustration so I asked him if he was okay, wondering if he had all ready gotten himself into some trouble with somebody. He reassured me, telling me that he was fine, and took me into a warm and gentle hug.
 Soon Skylar joined us and much to my dislike Aidan started smoking. After she questioned us about our summers two people who seemed to care deeply about her came up to Skylar mentioning a boy named Ryan. It seemed as though this boy was a soft subject so I thought it best to not question about it. Skylar and Aidan got into a "heated discussion" about Aidan's smoking habit, as I watched them with fearful eyes. If this wasn't normal behavior for the two I probably would have burst into tears, but instead of loosing it I raised me voice, asking them to stop before they killed each other. With fear still clear in my eyes I listened as Skylar told Aidan and I that the people who had so kindly approached her were indeed her parents. Thankfully Aidan left the subject on that note, but he soon became uncomfortable in the silence and grabbed my hand to play with my fingers. Right after Skylar asked Aidan if there was anything wrong with him Rain appeared. Much to my amusement he took Skylar in a tight embrace, even lifting her her up and triwling her. As he set her down he back away, not wanting her to use brutal force on him for his actions. Rain took my loose hand, making me blush and giggle as he lightly kissed it. I commented at his charming ways which resulted in a soft chuckle escaping from his lips as he gently dropped my free hand.
 Aidan all ready bored decided that he wanted to go on the train early, kindly offering to let me join them. Unsure if Skylar and Rain would want me to join them in their usual compartment along with Aidan.

[[my loving family]]   Thomas Parks, My Dad :: Lucille Parks, My Mum"Thomas was destined to become a death eater, destined to serve the Dark Lord, and when he graduated, he did. There he killed those not worthy of life and cursed those who were trying to put an end to the Dark Lord’s reign. And it was there where he met Lucille Valentine, the love of his life. She too was loyal to her master and had blood that was as pure as his. After becoming her regular partner in missions, the two fell in love and married. During one of their killings they felt something within themselves, they felt guilt and regret. Why had they taken so many lives? By now Tom and Lucille had killed many people and had never felt these feelings take over them and eat their insides. Tom and Lucille suddenly realized what they were doing for the past five years was wrong and inhuman. If their master and his minions kept this up, there would hardly be any more wizards on this world. They fled, knowing if their master ever found them, they would be killed. But they risked their lives, they wanted to stop taking the lives of others, they wanted to start their lives over again. From here Tom and Lucille disguised themselves, Tom no longer had thick, rich, black locks and blue eyes, he now had sandy blonde hair and green-blue eyes. Lucille didn’t change her hair or eye color but wore her hair long and with bangs that covered her magnificent blue eyes. They moved from one small muggle town to another, leaving whenever they felt danger. Tom and Lucille also changed their last name to Parks. The Parks were a pureblood family that had died out, but they took on this name as a last resort, they for some reason still wanted to be known as pureblooded." Jeff, My Kitten"I got Jeff for my most recent birthday present. I had been asking my parents for a pet for such a long time that they finally gave in and brought me to a muffle pet store, where I picked out Jeff. He's so adorable and I was so excited to bring him to Hogwarts. I hope he likes it here as much as I do!"introduction - melanie nicole parks - wanna be in my story? - those in my story - my thoughts - my schedule - in the trunk - current status - history between us - [[my loving family]]
