Primavera is annoyed. (open RP)

Primavera is annoyed.

First the crazy puppet thing on Ron Weasley's hand tries to make her a seamstress. Make dresses for a puppet! As if Primavera would ever be caught dead slaving over a sewing machine! Well, not that she isn't technically dead already, but it's the principle of the thing.

Then she finally gets Sorted -- into Hufflepuff with Victor and Sadako, though she hasn't seen either of them around yet -- and she finds the house unbearable. This lunatic keeps pestering her. "Hi! I'm Morfin! I'm a Hufflepuff! You look sad!" You dumbass, this is the way a doll looks. I'm not sad, I'm just pissed off that you're still around. But she can't say so. She's only slipped up once so far here, with that horrid girl Gert at her Sorting. It's better not to show her temper.

So she decides to find somewhere else to play. Taking her little train case full of BPAL, she wanders through the corridors of the castle, nowhere affiliated with one house or another. Finally she finds a windowseat and settles there. She looks like she's pouting, but when doesn't she look like she's pouting?

"Morfin's... he's alright. He's different. He's descended from Salazar Slytherin, you know. I think he was sick before, you know, up there. But he's better now. Anyways, if this is him better, I'm glad I didn't meet him before!"

Ron blushes, but then grins. "It is called Hogsmeade, and I can show you there, too! I mean, if you want. There's an awesome sweets shop there. You look like you like sweets." He widens his eyes and waves his arms. "I didn't mean that you're fat, though! I meant, you're sweet. So... kind likes kind, right?"

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

"Of course I'm not fat," Primavera says, trying not to show irritation. "Dolls can't be fat. We mostly do stick to sweets though." And human blood..

"Yeah, you keep saying that you're a doll. Is that like a veela? I bet it's like a veela." Ron takes several steps forward, and then turns back. "Um, do you want to go now?"

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Primavera frowns. "What's a veela? Is it something nice? Do you want to go to Hogsmeade right now? I have to find somewhere to put Iggy's, I mean my, perfume collection first."

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Veelas are magical creatures who entrance a man when they dance, but then they turn into scary bird things that shoot fire if they're angry. Bill- that's my brother- Bill is marrying Fleur Delacour, and she's one quarter Veela. So are you? Part Veela, I mean? Or is that personal?"

Ron shakes his head. "We don't have to go right now. We could..." He takes a deep breath. "Make a date for it?"

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Primavera thinks. She's fairly sure the doll plague hasn't spread to this world, but veelas do sound doll-like... And there is the whole fire thing to consider ... "I don't know, maybe veelas are like this world's version of dolls. Maybe I'll learn more about it while I'm here. It's very nice that your brother is getting married," she adds, politely, although she thinks that maybe veelas can't be like dolls then, because a doll would never get married.

Ron is very, very funny, but Primavera doesn't let on. "A date?" She looks shyly from underneath lowered eyelashes. "No one's ever asked me out on a date before." No one that Kito didn't pre-arrange a contract for her to kill, anyway.

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I think Fleur's great! Hermione and Ginny didn't like her for some reason, but they came around." He leans in, as if sharing a secret. "I think they were just jealous."

Ron widens his eyes, and can't help but to laugh. "I find that hard to believe! Uh, not that you're a liar or anything. It's just surprising." He rubs the pants of his trousers with a moist hand. "I didn't really mean it as a date, though. Well, it could be. I wouldn't mind if it was. Would you?"

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

"Girls can be so catty," Primavera agrees. Of course, I wouldn't know anything about being catty. "Poor Fleur, I know just how she must feel. That girl Gert was so awful to me at my Sorting." Primavera looks very convincingly sad. "I really want to get along with everyone here, you know?"

At Ron's laugh, Primavera narrows her eyes. "How old do you think I am anyway? I'm only fifteen ... do girls date very young here? Your sister has a boyfriend, doesn't she?"

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure it's not your fault! There's some people that are just impossible to get on with, you know? I bet almost everyone here really likes you. Who's Gert?"

Ron quickly cuts out his laugh. "Oh, sorry. Yeah, I mean, me and my friends had our first dates when we were younger than you. And my sister started dating younger, too. But that's ok! We don't have to go on a date, if you don't want to. We could just go to Hogsmeade together. I'm just surprised you weren't asked before."

"And... fifteen? Really? I thought you were a bit older. Not that much older, but... I think you're really mature." There, now that she was a couple of years younger than him, maybe Ron could relax a bit.

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

"Gert's some Ravenclaw girl." Primavera shrugs. "She's not very interesting. You're probably right, she's just jealous." Primavera turns a dazzling smile toward Ron -- the most dazzling smile she can manage without showing her fangs outright. "I don't mind calling it a date if you don't. If you don't think I'm too much of a baby to be seen with."

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

Ron can't help to smile back. His smile isn't dazzling so much as... wide. "You're not a baby at all!" He winces again. "Ok, that sounded creepy. I just meant that you seem a bit older than you actually are. I bet most people would think we're the same age."

"Do you have a day in mind, or do you want me to owl you to set the date?"

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

"Why, how old are you?" In his late teens at a guess, and this has got to be the most naive boy she's met since Iggy, and Iggy was twelve at the time. Oh, Iggy. You stupid boy-slime, Primavera remembers, not without a certain affection.

"I'm not in any classes yet but I should sign up for some. Maybe this weekend?"

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Eighteen." Ron made a fast. "Just turned a couple months ago. I was," He straightens his shoulders. "Searching for Voldemort's Horcruxes at the time, so I couldn't celebrate. Very dangerous work, searching for Horcruxes."

"This weekend sounds great!" Now more aware of their age difference, Ron quickly adds. "It'll just be a date, though. For fun."

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

"What's a horcrux?" Primavera sounds suspicious.

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"They're made from real, real dark magic. They grant the magician immortality, since he hides a part of his soul in them. It has to be created by murdering someone, because only an act that evil can tear the soul apart." Ron gives her a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry, maybe we shouldn't talk about that. Is it upsetting you?"

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Primavera's brain would be working overtime if she still used her brain to think, but of course, she uses her matrix now. Immortality ... like Dr. Toxicophilous? But in reverse. One piece instead of many. She's got to find out more about this. It won't do to look too eager though ...

She shivers. "I ... don't think I want to hear about it now. Maybe later?" She looks up at Ron from where she's sitting on the windowseat. "I'm sure you must be very brave to fight the horcruxes."

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure." He gives her a comforting smile. "Don't worry, the guy who made those horcruxes is popcorn now. So I don't think I'm in any danger." He rubs the back of his head. "And it's not really 'fighting' them. Just finding them. I found five possible horcruxes, but it's sorta dangerous to try to destroy them right now. I gave them to Harry."

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

"You found five of them?" Primavera considers that she might have underestimated Ron.

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Well, four. And they're just possibilities. (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/287766.html?thread=14069782#t14069782) But, yeah, I found them." Ron looks proud.

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Primavera looks duly impressed. "How did you find them?"

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"I, uh, wandered around and asked Muggles if they had seen any. I figured that Muggle England would be the last place Voldemort would expect us to look! Besides, if I only talked to Muggles, it would be less likely that the Death Eaters would know what I was doing."

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Primavera is nonplussed. "It was that easy? Are Muggles very stupid?"

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Muggles aren't stupid!" Ron quickly defends. "I just thought... well, if they knew where a horcrux was, they'd want to help us defeat Voldemort, right? Since he wants them dead. And they might have heard something, but didn't know what to do about it. You know."

[missprimavera.livejournal.com]

Primavera makes some mental notes. Voldemort, Muggles, a fight. She might look into all this if she gets bored or runs out of nail polish.

"Did any Muggles help you?" she asks sweetly.

[dungbombsrule.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, a bunch did. There was the Seer, and the people with the immortal apples, and the guy who threw the horcrux at me. And the woman who said that she was a horcrux. I didn't really believe her, though. But she was strange, the tallest woman I've ever saw."
