Post by ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER on Feb 11, 2015 19:34:37 GMT
it wasn't long before someone else joined him on the mostly empty train. the old man's voice caught al by surprise (even if he was a bit on edge to begin with), and he turned his head around, fighting the urge to take out his wand from his pocket. just a muggle, he realized, trying to slow his heart rate down. the thing about being on the run is that there's no break from that. ever. he's been trying hard to avoid all the places associated with wizards, or are part of the wizarding world, but just as he is able to run around, go from place to place, in the muggle world, death eaters could do that too. he hated that. not being safe, not being able to be around his family. he wasn't even a criminal. he didn't do anything--then again, neither did his parents. the man's request, though, was what was weird. out of all the seats on the train (and there were plenty), he chose to sit by al. albus nodded, however. "yeah. that's no problem," he said, moving over a little so the old man would have space to sit. the guy didn't seem dangerous--though he remembered arik waters' words about always being on guard. after all, the guy may seem like a muggle... but he might as well be a death eater in disguise.

albus leaned against one of the columns at the kings cross station. he was waiting for his train.
but he was not a platform nine and three-quarters... he was just at regular, old, normal, platform four. how very muggle like. he had on a backpack, and just that. he fit all of his belongings inside it, using an extension charm. he had to move again. just to be safe, so the death eaters can't figure out where he's been staying, and so he doesn't get caught off guard at any time. moving used to be a hassle, even with the help of his family and order members, and the availability of safe houses, but now it was just kind of... normal. albus sighed. he had no idea when he could go into the wizarding world again without constantly being on guard, and no idea when he could kind of relax and enjoy life again. probably never. it was different when he had chosen this lifestyle, as an auror... but now that his life had completely fallen apart, he was just left with himself, and this constant sense of fear. he can't even remember the last time he's had a decent night of sleep.
his train arrived. al stepped on. it wasn't crowded inside; far from it, in fact. the young wizard took a seat at the back of the train, waiting for it to move.

LISETTE &&albus: albus potter is 20 years old, a former ravenclaw, and a former auror in training. he's currently on the run from the de's since he was one of the aurors that survived the ministry attack. depending on when lisette began teaching at hogwarts, al may know her as a professor/ta. if not, then he still might have seen her around in school. they would probably have gotten to know each other through the order (though al is the type to sit in the back and just listen, carry out instructions, etc. he's not really outspoken, and he's not in a leader position in the order). i can definitely offer al up as a friend for lisette. he lost both of his parents in this war, and so if anything, he'd understand her. c: mikah: mikah leventhal is 22, a former gryffindor, and currently plays quidditch professionally for puddlemere united. if lisette is interested in quidditch at all, or reads the sports section of the prophet, then chances are, she'd know her, lol. mikah recently came back to the uk after spending a few years playing for a us team, so she's definitely out of the loop and has no true idea of what is really going on in the wizarding world. her mother was recently killed by the death eaters, but she hasn't aligned herself with anyone yet. maybe lisette talks her into it? otherwise, i can offer mik up as a friend as well. they might have bumped into each other once upon a time in hogwarts or something, as mikah is a social butterfly! elias: elias leventhal is 31, also a former gryffindor. he's mikah's brother, and he used to play quidditch professionally as well, but now coaches the appleby arrows. he was huge in the quidditch world for a while until his injury followed by a fast decline, but he's traveled the world and is super successful. guess it's hard for people not to have heard of him at one point. anyways, he's an order member, so chances are, lisette and him would know each other. he's a kind soul, and i guess once again, i can offer him up as a friend lol. c: he's really the type to reach out to those in need, whether it be a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen to a rant. i can see them being pretty close within the order, and elias would try to convince her that there's still good in the world. c: |

al knew he'd screwed up. he'd let his guard down way too early, and, had he finished his training instead of merely started, his response would've been very different. being on guard wasn't second-nature to him, like the other, more experienced aurors. to be entirely honest, he still had the mentality of someone fresh out of Hogwarts. sure, he was good with defense against the dark arts and is quite capable with magic, but sometimes, his lack of experience put him in dangerous positions.
"exactly, then…" al said. "all due respect, mr. waters, if you were a death eater, i would've been dead by now." he didn’t really mean to talk back; in fact, he kept his voice calm and respectful. even though arik had perished in a fire a while ago… well, deep inside, he supposed, he always believe that it wasn't that easy to kill arik waters. a fire? pshhh. he was, however, still trying to get the shock if seeing him out of his system.
at his next statement, al's gaze hardened. "so you just lied to us, this whole time?" al asked. past his elation of seeing him, he felt slightly… betrayed. the last year had been hard. from losing his friends also in training, to being on the run, being away from family… this was not how he'd imagined his life to have turned out. and arik, one of the few people who could've helped, was nowhere to be found. probably hidden, biding his time. al felt a bit of resentment creeping up as he looked at the older man. still, though, his gaze softened again as arik mentioned his family. "i'm sorry about your family." he added softly, afterwards.

"Thinking about someone... more than I should.""believe me, i know," he responded, smiling slightly. in the dim lighting, he could barely make out amos's serious expression. al wanted nothing more than to make him smile. after all… what happened in the death eater world? even though it seemed like they were 'winning' right now… surely amos, too, have worries, and their side, too, have suffered losses. al remembered the conversation in the letters. he couldn't imagine amos having it worse than he does, going from place to place from week to week, hardly ever seeing his family again… but it might as well be possible. their eyes met, and for a moment al has his breath knocked out of him. al nodded at his remark. and to think that a year ago, they thought they'd never see each other again. maybe it would've been better if they didn't know each other's names. "yes. but i don't regret it," al said levelly, returning his gaze. al meant every word. amos asked if there was something he could do. al wanted to ask him to stay here, with him and talk. if he could sit closer to him. if he could lean over and just… kiss him. but nope, al kept that inside. he shrugged, instead. "i don't think so… but we've got to stop meeting like this," he smirked. even if there was nothing they could really do to change the situation, he might as well lighten the mood up. he'd rather do that than dwell on the negatives.

if al was to comment on his own relationship with his brother, then he'd probably say that it's quite decent. of course, he remembered the times when james had teased him about being in slytherin (again and again!), or not really being into quidditch like their father, but he's always kind of rolled his eyes and brushed it off. at one point, he did really care about his brother and father's approval, but that mattered less once he started to grow up. he started thinking along the lines of, 'so what if he got sorted into slytherin?' the little things that james teased him about no longer mattered. and as soon as he started feeling more comfortable in his own skin, him and james's relationship improved. he was appreciative of the times that james helped take the spotlight off of him (it was honestly a win-win situation, since his brother loved being part of all those daily prophet specials, etc.), and james was one of the first people that he came out to. now, with everything that was going on, al knew that if there was just one person that he could count on, it'd be james.
naturally, when his brother asked if they could meet at the leaky cauldron, albus agreed. he hardly made an appearance in the wizarding world nowadays, unless he had a particular reason to, and being recognized was kind of a bad thing. still, it's been a while since he'd seen his brother. when he walked in and spotted the elder potter, al walked over. "what's up?" he asked.

Even though things have changed dramatically, and Al was leading a life that was far from normal, some things still stayed the same. Shopping for groceries, for example. Sure, he shops in the muggle world now instead of the wizarding one (the muggle money is still quite confusing to him, though), but food... well, that's one of the things that stay pretty much the same whether you're a wizard or a muggle. And even though he was moving from house to house, he still needed to go shop. Al was just carrying a shopping basket, filled with just a few items; he didn't need much, since he found himself alone most of the time. Save for the days he stayed with a friend, or with his family, he only had to take care of himself--which he was quite alright with. He doesn't think he can handle any more losses. In his basket, there was coffee, eggs, a few apples, and bread. He was just walking and thinking when a shopping cart bumped into him. Honestly, he wasn't really looking at where he was going either; the former Ravenclaw often got stuck in his own thoughts. He muttered an apology, and was about to go on his own way (being bumped into isn't the end of the world... he wasn't the least bit annoyed). When the girl started rambling, though, he snapped out of his own thoughts, and started paying attention to what she was saying. He waved a hand dismissively, smiling. "No worries, it was partially my fault, anyways," he told her. "and yeah, I get stuck in my own thoughts, too." With another nod, Al started walking again. But... He turned back around. "Have I met you before?" he asked. It was an odd question, he knew. She might be a random muggle. But, the striking red hair... well, let's just say not too many people walk around with that. He felt like he's seen her before, maybe just walking around Hogsmeade, or... at an order meeting or function? He had no idea; she simply looked familiar. Plus, it's been a while since he's heard a friendly voice; one that isn't a threat to talk to. TAG: HAYLEY CARTER

An answer… That was all Albus wanted. He half-expected Amos to get right up and leave, pretend like he hadn’t seen him. After all, who was he to just randomly enter his life again? Still, after the letters, Albus couldn’t help but feel like it… solidified things. Like Amos was meant to be in his life, and that was just how things were going to be, different sides or no. They’d tried so hard to avoid each others’ names, and now that the truth was out, Albus couldn’t help but feel an even stronger connection with the other man. “I’m sorry to hear that,” Al said, spinning his stool around too, to face Amos. He was only a few seats down. But it felt so far… what he wouldn’t give to be able to kiss him, right now. “reasons, in particular?” he asked. Mainly out of concern; even though they didn’t associate on a regular basis… he still wanted to help him.
“I’m alright,” Albus said. “Could be better, but… nothing I can do about that,” he shrugged. It was true. For the parts of life that he didn’t particularly like—like being on the run, for example, or his family being in danger—well, there was nothing he could really do about that, except support the Order and do his part. So he let that be. He lifted his drink up to his lips again, watching Amos intently. There were a million things going through his head, a thousand thing he wanted to tell him… but he kept all of that held inside, constantly reminding himself that he can’t. Their friendship is a lot more complicated than that.

Hand gripping his wand tightly, Albus started walking in the direction out of Knockturn Alley. Until, that is, he heard someone clear his voice behind him. Al spun around on his heels, alert. So there had been someone there, after all. But instead of raising his wand and maybe fire off a spell, Albus relaxed almost instantly. It was just Arik Waters.
”Either brave or stupid to be in this area”
Al looked at the older man levelly, shrugged a little, knowing that he was pretty stupid to have come. He lowered his gaze at the man’s next statement, a bit guilty. He knew better than to purposely put himself in harm’s way. His father, though adventurous and mischievous, definitely would not have approved of that.
Still, before he could say anything else, Albus blurted out, “… I thought you died.” And yes, it was true that Albus was glad to see him, he’d never been so glad to see anyone—since Arik Waters was the head of the department of magical law enforcement. It’s hard to not feel safe around him, seeing that he has years of training and experience, and as an auror too. Plus, his father trusted him. But all that led to another thought: Arik Waters was dead. How did Albus know he wasn’t a death eater trying to impersonate him? Al’s hand went back to gripping his wand tightly.

What’s life without living on the edge a little bit?
Alright, so Al’s life has been one hurdle after the other, so he honestly wasn’t looking for… thrilling moments or near-death-experiences or whatever. His life was a near-death-experience. He’d been on the run since the death eaters took over, since they blew up the auror office and he escaped.
Yet now, Al was walking through Diagon Alley like a normal person. It made him uneasy, sure, but he doubt that most passerbys would notice him. He’d never been in the public eye, and he’s gone for long enough that nobody really remembers him. The place has changed a lot, though not as much as Al thought it would. He was walking through Diagon Alley for memory’s sake. And it wasn’t like he had better things to do, so why not?
Dressed in normal wizarding robes, he turned into Knockturn Alley. He remembered the times he’d sneaked in here while his parents were shopping for James and Lily for schoolbooks and all that… Al let out a sigh. That seemed like forever ago. When he took safety for granted and actually went out of his way to look for danger.
Just as he turned, he saw a small flash of white. A silhouette. Part of a face. “Arik Waters?” he immediately thought. He’d seen the old auror many times in the past, since his father knew him well. But it can’t be. He died in a house fire…
His curiosity piqued, Albus turned another corner. But he was gone. Slightly annoyed, Al held on to his wand. It could’ve been a trick, to get him to be off guard… or maybe he imagined everything. or maybe Arik Waters was just that good of an auror. Al turned back around again. He should probably leave Knockturn before anyone finds out who he was.

ALBUS S. POTTER FORMER RAVENCLAW. FORMER AUROR. 20. GAY. SINGLE. ORDER MEMBER. QUIET. KIND. LOGICAL. this gorgeous man right here is mr. albus severus potter. so yeah, everybody knows him, but he's still, i supposed, the 'lesser known' son of harry potter. c: and he’s just fine with that--he hates being in the spotlight and likes to do his own thing, usually. he's been known to be pretty quiet, though his friends don't consist of only books. a free spirit, albus doesn't really care about what others think of him; friends come easily to him, and while he was at hogwarts, there were plenty of times when he got in trouble for sneaking out past curfew, or staying up and partying too late. still, he's responsible, a bookworm, and he loves learning and tries to get his hands on every single book... which got him to be an auror in training right after he graduated.
albus was one of the trainees that managed to escape the death eaters when they took over the ministry. with that being said, he's on the run, switching from apartment to apartment, never really getting to know anyone for too long. he's got his family, and that was all he needed. for the few of his FRIENDS that are still alive and not wanting him to be dead, albus keeps in contact with them, though only sporadically. i imagine that he would have a good number from hogwarts, some that were with him auror training, etc. but he has since then adopted a more secretive lifestyle, so he may be off the grid frequently. as for ENEMIES, albus is an order member, and yeah. on the run. kind of self explanatory haha. in the LOVERS department, albus is gay, and has known that for a very long time. he's probably dated a girl or two at one point while he was working that out for himself, and while i can see a few exes, i don't think he's ever been in a serious relationship. for now, though, he's fine with being alone.
MIKAH D. LEVENTHAL FORMER GRYFFINDOR. SEEKER. 22. STRAIGHT. SINGLE. PRO-ORDER. BUBBLY. OPTIMISTIC. COMPETITIVE. say hello to mikah! she’s a twenty-two year old former gryffindor. she’s a professional quidditch player for puddlemere united, though she played for the u.s. national team for almost five years. while she’s born in the u.k., educated in hogwarts, and grew up keeping up with the british and irish teams, mikah left for the u.s. almost as soon as she graduated in search of a new scenery. she moved back very recently to london due to her father being diagnosed with terminal stage cancer, and her mother’s death due to the death eaters.
mikah has a very bright personality. she has a passion for life, and embraces the little bits and pieces of it that most people don’t notice. she smiles a lot, and rarely holds a grudge. in the past, she was easily manipulated because she was quick to forgive and forget, but she’s grown up a little bit more now, and is a little bit more cautious of the world surrounding her. in hogwarts, she was the girl who’d always take the time to say hello to everybody in the halls, and offer free hugs to anyone and everyone, whether or not you were in her house. she’s not very quick to judge, and has an accepting and easy-going nature. however, mikah is also very stubborn, as gryffindors go, and impulsive, which can be seen by her quite sudden decision to move halfway across the globe as soon as she graduated. while she enjoys and appreciates her friends, she found herself more disconnected to them after her move, and, loving as she is, she’s also incredibly independent and spent very little time keeping up with them.
mikah has her share of FRIENDS, and they come easily to her, being friendly and outgoing. she stayed in contact with her hogwarts friends over the years with the occasional letter and packages, so she’s definitely out of the loop from their lives. she’s definitely got a lot to catch up on… but with that being said, she doesn’t mind striking up a conversation with a stranger, so new friends are definitely welcome! as sweet as she is, mikah also has her share of ENEMIES. . she’s not one to be bothered by arguments and other people… especially if they don’t like her. however, I’d imagine that some people will still try to give her a hard time, whether it be old quidditch rivalries, or people she’d accidentally upset in the past. and finally, i’ve got a plot in mind as far as LOVERS go, but feel free to throw in any past relationships or… whatever you have in mind haha. plot her up!
RELATIONSHIPS:
name -- relationship
ELIAS J. LEVENTHAL FORMER GRYFFINDOR. PRO-QUIDDITCH COACH. 31. SINGLE. ORDER. GENTLEMAN. PASSIONATE. elias is a thirty-one year old wizard, currently the coach for the appleby arrows. He’s a former beater and played for many teams in the past, mainly going from team to team as opportunities pop up from season to season. Like mikah, he was educated in britain and went to hogwarts, and grew up following british teams… but like her, his first team was also with the u.s. National team. He had an incredibly successful career, and there were few that didn’t know his name… but after surfing a particularly nasty injury to his shoulder at the age of 28, his quidditch career was on the decline. Another injury to his wrist later on rendered him almost entirely useless to the pro quidditch teams… during which he took up a desk position at the u.s. department of magical games and sports. He spent that time supporting his sister’s career, and got engaged to a sports reporter that he’d been dating for several years. The truth, though, was that he wasn’t happy, and he was no longer at the height of his career. After being offered a coaching position with the appleby arrows last year, and after finding out his fiancé’s infidelity, elias took the job and found himself back in the country he grew up in.
like mikah, elias is incredibly easy going. He’s got a charming personality, and in his hogwarts days, he was easily one of the more popular kids roaming the halls. Even though he’s successful, he’s never let that get into his head. And because he’s humble, he’s kept in contact with many of his friends over the years, even while playing for different teams around the world. One of his flaws, however, might be his passionate personality—which is why he didn’t stop playing quidditch when he should have. He’s idealistic, and, although not naive like his sister, he sometimes make situations out for better than they actually are.
with all of that, he needs everything. FRIENDS from school, the quidditch world, reporters, and so on. There would be plenty. ENEMIES would include rivals, anyone else who doesn’t agree with his views, death eaters… and since he was crazy competitive when he was playing professionally, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d ended someone’s career with a bludger of his. He’s not actively seeing LOVE because of his fiancé, and for now, he’s just enjoying the single life! Totally open to any of your ideas, though. Plot him up!

As the bartender handed him the drink, Albus heard his voice.
“What are you doing here?”
There it was. The voice that sent electric shocks through his body. But he kept himself composed. He took a sip from his glass, and replied levelly, without looking. “The same reason that you are. Getting a drink.” He knew with ever fiber of his being that sitting here was wrong. He was, essentially, looking for more trouble and heartbreak for the two of them. Al couldn’t bring himself to look at him though; he knew that another look, and his calm demeanor would fall away. Yet he sat there, glued to the seat, letting the alcohol go down his throat, but not really tasting any of it.
“How have you been?” Albus asked. He knew it was unfair to him to just start randomly talking to him… since both of them knew what could happen, being on opposite sides and all. But he wanted to know. A year and a letter did not lessen any of the feelings he had for Amos. He knew that Amos might not reply; heck, he could get up and leave the bar right now. But a small part of him believed that Amos would reply. And somehow, maybe, they could be just as they were a year ago, before they even knew each other. A far-fetched idea, but not entirely impossible.

Al walked into the bar, one that he hadn’t visited since that fateful night one year ago. Albus couldn’t count the times that he’d wondered about his name, couldn’t count the times that he’d wondered where he was, what he was doing, after they said goodbye. And since the letters… Al was more determined than ever to stay away from Amos Lestrange. Al had meant it when he said that he won’t bring himself to kill him if they met again, but he also knew that he would really rather not be put into a situation where having to make a choice—between family and Amos, for example—would be necessary.
He didn’t know why he decided to walk in the bar; maybe it’s to relive the night’s memories, maybe because he needed a drink, maybe because going into a muggle bar is a lot safer than walking into a wizard one… but when he walked in, he caught sight of the familiar figure sitting at the bar. Even from the back, Albus was a hundred percent sure it was Amos. Even though it’s been a year, he had no doubt it was him. Instead of walking out, however, Al continued to walk in, talking a seat at the far end of the counter, as far away from Amos as possible. He ordered a drink, trying to focus on the bartender instead of turning his head to look at the man sitting a few feet to the right of him.

As Albus read the letter, he felt his stomach drop. Yes, the man wanted him dead. “Officially,” that is. Al didn’t know how exactly he felt about that. The excitement that he had was dulled with the sense of fear… though fear could, perhaps, overpower that sense of excitement. It didn’t matter how he felt about him personally. Death eaters kill. That was their job.
Yet, as he read on, there were, he supposed, mixed emotions on the other man’s part. He continued to reply to him. He still evaded the topic of his name. Yet the man wanted Albus to reply almost as much as he does. Then there was the random comment about the tea that Al still wasn’t quite sure the purpose of.
And here’s my response to your dilemma:
Say we were on the battlefield together. It wouldn’t matter how you felt about me personally, I’m gone before I can pick up my wand. Orders. Loyalty. We’re on different sides. Yet I continue to reply to you, despite the fact that your side killed my parents and practically destroyed my family.
Basically—I’m not scared, so why are you? You obviously have the upper hand, I can’t bring myself to kill you if we were ever caught in a battle together, and a name changes nothing. Not the memories, not the connection, not how I feel about… all of this. Why was he pursuing this? Why was he trying so hard to find out who he was? Maybe it was just because he thought about him so often, and now that he was writing letters to him, proof that that night wasn’t a dream, he wanted, desired to know who he was. He didn’t know where that would lead him. Closure, maybe. Or more confusion as to what to do.
back to the subject of tea, though, why do you ask? After sending the letter off, Albus sat down at his desk, sighing once more.
