(Private, The Gunner18 & Natalie) HP Role Play [With OC's]

[Eli_Ayase]

I can't come up with a good title, but this will do, I guess. Anyway ~

Note: Timeline starts from Harry's Third year, and the story starts from Diagon Alley ~


Natalie's part of the plot (Witten by: Me) -

Natalie starts her second year as a student at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, also becomes a very close friend with Remus Lupin, the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher. Later on after Lupin teaches Harry the Patronus charm, he starts teaching Natalie the Patronus. Also gets in a small fight with Draco Malfoy for calling her a 'Blood-Traitor' and as a 'Filthy Half-Blood' which hurts her deep. Later, in the Potions Class, Professor Severus leads Natalie down to fury, and she from fury shape-shifts to a white wolf and leaves the potions class, while herself she realizes she is a Shape-Shifter, and right after that receives a detention.

Connor's part of the plot (Written by: TheGunner18) -

Connor, being in his third year of Hogwarts, is good friends with Harry, Hermione and Ron. However, his strong connections to the Malfoys and the fact that his father is a former Death Eater still presents some trust issues between them, although Connor hasn't ever broken any promises or done anything to try and harm his friends.

Connor is very proficient and talented in Defence Against the Dark Arts and constantly proves himself to Remus Lupin as being one of his best students. He begins teaching himself the three unforgivable curses in secret but he soon gets found out by Harry, Ron and Hermione and struggles to explain why he's practising them. This results in Harry getting into a duel with him. Also, despite him being Gryffindor, Snape still shows favouritism towards him because he knows his father well, as does Lucius Malfoy.

-----------------

It was a rather cloudy day, the day before the students of Hogwarts start their school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Alexander, Natalie and Drake were walking in Diagon Alley and shopping for the new books, for Natalie's and Drake's school year. "Now, Natalie. Drake," Alexander spoke while they went out from Flourish and Bolts, "You both very well know that Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, right? Right, and I want you both to be very careful, you never know when he may strike, and you two know I care about you," he said and started to walk.

Natalie and Drake gave a nod. "We promise dad, we'll be careful," Natalie said. "You don't think he can even get into Hogwarts, right?" Natalie added while following her father

"Well, maybe he can, or maybe he can't, as I said, you never know," Alexander said.

[TheGunner18]

This was now Connor's third visit to Diagon Alley, so he had already gained some sort of knowledge about where all of the shops he needed to go to were, yet, despite this, Connor's father, Damon, had still accompanied him as did Draco's father, Lucius. Perhaps this was because they were planning something together. To be brutally honest, Connor wouldn't really be very surprised if this was the case due to the fact that Sirius Black had escaped Azkaban. He knew that Lucius and his father had garnered a real hate for that man so maybe they were trying to track him down again.

"Now, Connor. As you're aware, Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban. He's a dangerous man, yes, but he is no match for the Death Eaters." Damon explained to his son as he slightly adjusted his robes. Of course, he was away from any prying eyes and there was no chance of anyone eavesdropping on them. He glanced around the small alley he was in and, happy that nobody was around them, he continued. "So, with that knowledge, you know exactly what to do if you find out anything about his whereabouts, don't you?" Damon finished, staring at Connor, expecting the right response.

"I need to tell you immediately." Connor recited for what seemed like the thousandth time. He crossed his arms and sighed to himself before glancing up at his father. "I know what to do, okay?" he told Damon, in a deep, rather gravely voice, becoming more than just a bit annoyed with what his father was yet again saying to him.

Damon looked over Connor once before smiling. "Very well. Come." he turned on his heels and began walking out of the alley, gesturing for Connor to follow him. Connor complied and jogged for a second or so to catch up with him, catching sight of Harry, Ron and Hermione out of the Corner of his eye. He wanted to run over and talk to them, but he doubted Damon would be so...willing to let him do so, so he carried on walking with his father.

[Eli_Ayase]

Soon when Alexander checked everything to see if Natalie and Drake have their books and all for the new school year and said,"Alright, we have everything you'll need, and Natalie?" he said taking out a little cage, "Your Uncle Mike told me to give this to you, I forgot to give it in the morning,"

In the little cage there was a little Siamese kitten with blue eyes. Natalie smiled very happily, she loved cats like her friend Hermione did, whom also had a cat called Crookshanks, "I really love it, but do you think two pets are allowed?"

"Well if even a student has a rat and an owl, then I assume yes, just then make sure your little kitten will be safe," Alexander said. "Now, we'll be staying at the Leaky Cauldron for the night, after all, it takes a while to get from Manchester to Kings Cross station," He added and then took a little glance at the left side, there he saw Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco Malfoy, Alexander gave a sigh, because that was the direction where the Leaky Cauldron was, he sighed and said with a whisper to Natalie and Drake, "We better get going now if we don't want Mr. Malfoy to take our time," he said, and started to walk.

Natalie and Drake gave a nod and started to follow Alexander while carrying their stuff.

[TheGunner18]

Damon glanced over his shoulder for a second before turning his attention back to where he was walking. "I need to find Lucius. If you see him, tell-" Damon didn't even need to finish the sentence, as he had just noticed the unmistakable figure of Lucius Malfoy and his son only a small distance down the street from them. Connor's father swiftly made his way towards his good friend with a slight smile. 

It seemed that Damon and Connor had been noticed by Lucius just a second earlier, so it was, in fact, the long, blond-haired Death Eater who made the first move. As of on cue, he turned to face Damon and gave them his signature smile. "Ah, Damon. A pleasure to see you." he said in a friendly tone before turning to look at Connor, nodding once at him. "It seems I have the right to believe we all have high hopes in you, Connor. Draco here has been telling me all about your progress in the Dark Arts. Or, rather, as close as you can get to it in...Hogwarts." Lucius explained to Connor, gesturing to Draco who seemed to be preoccupied with something else. 

"Looks like we have company. The wrong sort." Draco mentioned to nobody in particular, a definite air of spite and hate noticeable in his tone. He did succeed in getting Lucius, Damon and Connor's attention, though. Lucius, who was first to react, whipped his head around and smirked at who he was looking at. Connor didn't really have much of an idea who it was, although he was sure he had seen the girl a few places before. 

"Well, well, well. We meet again, Stern." Lucius began, glaring at Alexander for a good few seconds before looking at the rest of the Stern family. "I'm surprised none of you Half-Bloods have inherited any of the characteristics of the filthy animals you've owned. Or maybe you have-" Lucius glanced down at Natalie and then added: "-And we just haven't...seen it yet." 

Connor knew that Lucius was certainly implying something, but what it was exactly, he didn't know. For now, he just wanted to make sure he wasn't part of any of this gloating and insulting;  he wasn't fond of it at all, despite his upbringing.

"Indeed. I'm sure we'll be finding out about your, and others', abilities in due course." Damon announced, walking forward a couple of steps. Connor, however, stayed largely at the back of the group he was in. He never was one for socialising.

[Eli_Ayase]

Natalie gave a slight hissing-like-glare at Lucius, she didn't like the Death Eater very much, in fact she did hate them a lot. But before she could even say something to him, Drake elbowed her a bit son she could calm down, in the end, she stayed silent close to her father.

Alexander gave a slight furious sigh, he maybe was a part of sorcerers and a part of wizards and could make Lucius be in a hospital for a while, but he never dared to harm someone, unless of course if Natalie or her brother Drake were harmed seriously by spells on purpose. Alexander began to speak, with a slight fury in it, "And I'm quite surprise that you as a Death Eater ain't in Azkaban yet, but soon, who knows, you might end up in it, and so could the rest of your kind," he said giving a glare at Lucius, and a slight glare at Damon. "Maybe not yet you'll end up in Azkaban, but I can be sure that after a while, you will be," he added and started to leave together with Natalie and Drake, "And by the way, Mister Malfoy," He started, "If I ever will find out that you were using an Unforgivable spell on my son, OR daughter, I can assure you, that you will no longer be around here," he said. Alexander still remembered a year ago that Natalie had came home a bit injured because of the Death Eaters, she was lucky back then that her uncle saved her.

Soon, Alexander, Natalie and Drake were off, away from Lucius, by which they were happy. Because they were never glad to run into him because of a lot of insults about their blood purity.

[TheGunner18]

After listening to Alexander's mindless threats and warnings, Lucius simply shook his head a few times and chuckled to himself. "We'll see about that." he replied as the Stern family started walking past him and the others. "Don't say something you'll regret, Stern. When the time comes, I won't be so...forgiving." Lucius remarked, making sure Alexander  could  hear him as he turned on his heels and watched the Half-Bloods walk off.

As Damon, Lucius and Draco began talking, Connor turned his attention to the Sterns. He really did feel pretty sorry for them; being exposed to all of this torment must have  been quite difficult over the years. It was a pain that Connor could never experience. He could never make those feelings known to his father, though, as Damon hated all of these Half-Bloods and 'Mudbloods' as much as Lucius and Draco.

 Connor never showed it, but whenever his father called Hermione a Mudblood, he desperately wanted to perform a Cruciatus curse or something like that on him. Hermione was a great friend and was easily ten times more clever than Lucius or any of the Death Eaters ever would be. Connor tried clearing his mind of everything he was thinking about but before he could do so, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to find that it was Draco.

"What are you staring at them for?" Draco asked nodding in the direction of the Stern's.

"I'm just thinking of how I could make the blood-traitors suffer." Connor lied, crossing his arms and smiling at his friend. As soon as he mentioned the word 'blood-traitor', he wanted to take it back. Although he knew it was probably the best term to use in front of Draco, unfortunately.

"I should've known." Draco laughed for a few seconds and then looked over his shoulder to see his father gesturing for him to follow. Still smiling, Draco added: "I'll see you at school, Connor."

Connor observed as Lucius' son turned and walked off with his father. He couldn't wait to get to school, of he was being honest. He actually really enjoyed all of the lessons but that wasn't always the case for the homework. Anyway, this year Connor was planning something to improve on something he did in fact like a lot: the Dark Arts.

[Eli_Ayase]

Alexander did hear Lucius loud and clear, but ignored it.

Soon Alexander, Natalie and Drake arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, they had reserved the rooms already. Natalie went to her room, Drake to his, and Alexander to his.

***((Day passes and everyone is already on the Hogwarts Express))***

Soon everyone was on the Hogwarts Express, not to mention Natalie's and Drake's best friend Ian, on whom Natalie had a little crush but didn't show it out. They three did get along very well, except Drake sometimes teased them both.

Natalie sat next to the window in the cabin and sighed, "I hope Malfoy wont bother us now..." she muttered to herself, despite Drake was older then Draco and a year higher then him, they still got bullied by him.

After few minutes a little rat ran in Natalie's, Drake's and Ian's cabin, also did a boy with red hair, it was Ron Weasley, he and Natalie were together best friends ever since they were little kids, "Scabbers! Please don't run off again," he said picking his rat up, "Oh, sorry, Natalie, Drake... it's just because Hermiones cat keeps chasing him around,"

"It's alright Ron, and in case you will see another cat, don't worry, my cat wont chase your rat," Natalie said and chuckled a little.

Ron took a glance at Natalie's cat, "I hope it wont chase him," he said, "Anyway, I'll see you when we arrived at the school," he said and went off with Scabbers in his hands and joined his friends in the cabin where a man apparently was sleeping.

[TheGunner18]

Connor had already changed into his school robes by the time he began looking for a carriage in which to stay in for the journey. The robes bore the colours of Gryffindor and he was immensely proud of them. Despite his father's initial shock and...anger about his sorting, he would never change anything that had happened. 

The friends that he had made were irreplaceable, to say the least, even though Hermione, Ron and Harry sometimes had some trust issues with him. That was understandable, having a Death Eater as a father wasn't something to be taken lightly, but hopefully he was proving that he wasn't the person his father was.

Connor checked each of the cabins as he walked, looking for any that were empty or whichever one Harry, Ron and Hermione were in. After checking a few of the cabins, he began checking them much more nonchalantly but one in particular caught his eye. Instead of simply walking past it, Connor stopped by the door. He recognised the people in there. He had seen only seen them days earlier. At Diagon Alley. 

Connor turned his attention swiftly away from the cabin that the Stern's were in and carried on checking the cabins, eventually finding one that was empty. He entered and then gladly sat down on one of the carriage seats. It was going to be a long journey but he'd survive; he actually sort of liked the silence in his carriage. He'd be able to speak to Harry, Ron and Hermione later.

[Eli_Ayase]

Natalie sat silent, she didn't even speak too much like last year. It was because the words from Lucius still haunted her mind. She then spoke, "Please, if you can, wake me up when we arrive at Hogwarts..." she soon drifted off to sleep.

Time passed till it was dark outside, and soon suddenly the train stopped for some reason, waking even Natalie up. "What the hell is going on?" She looked around worried as the lights in their cabin went out. Fear started to appear around her, even her Siamese kitten hissed and was scared. Drake and Ian didn't know what was going on. The windows started to freeze and it got cold.

In the Trio's cabin, as well the windows started to freeze, even a water bottle froze, and the lights went out. Ron looked around very worried, "What's going on?" he said.

Harry wasn't very sure, but when he took a look at the door, it started to open, while a hooded-black figure started to come, it was a Dementor, Harry froze and couldn't even do anything, soon he felt like his life is being taken away, but then, Remus Lupin got up and casted a very bright light spell and soon the dementor flee'd. "Take care of Mr. Potter, I'll be right back," Remus said looking at both Ron and Hermione and went off.

Ron lowered down to Harry, who had fainted, "Harry? Harry wake up," he said, but Harry wasn't yet awake.

In Natalie's cabin, Natalie's Siamese kitten hissed again, but sat still in Natalie's lap. She, Drake and Ian saw a dementor floating to them, Natalie had gone down to pale from fear, but before the Dementor could have a chance to take their souls away, Remus Lupin flee'd it away again with a very bright light, and took a look in Natalie's, Drake's and Ian's cabin, "You three alright?"

Natalie, Drake and Ian gave a nod, and Natalie spoke, "What was that thing, sir?" she said with a fear in her voice still.

"A Dementor, now, stay inside your cabin and don't go out, we'll be soon at Hogwarts anyway, when the train will finally start to move," Remus said and went off.

[TheGunner18]

Connor sighed to himself and leaned backwards into the corner of the cabin, closing his eyes only for a few seconds, hoping to be able to get to sleep. He then frustratedly opened them again and crossed his arms. He just...really wanted to practice some magic. Any magic. He looked down to the floor, only noticing that he had taken out his wand when he opened his clenched fists. 

After simply staring down at the floor of the cabin for a good minute, Connor slowly stood up and, with one hand in his robe pocket, began staring out of the window. There wasn't anything to actually look at outside; it was unusually dark but he carried on doing so as he started thinking of what labs could actually do.

Perhaps he should just go and talk with Harry, Ron and Hermione. It would give him something to do while waiting for the journey to end. Then again, he really did like the feeling of being alone to do what he wanted and to focus on what he wanted without interruption. Maybe he could even-

Connor's train of thought was abruptly halted as much more significant issues began presenting themselves. He was sure it wasn't that cold when he first got into the cabin. As a measure of how cold it actually was, he could clearly see his own breath. Connor took his hand out of his pocket and gradually began to reach out and touch the window. Freezing cold, as was clear with the appearance of ice on the glass. Suddenly, a sense of recognition filled him. 

Of course, he had been told about the effects of a Dementor's presence by his father. It was more than a shock to know there was one, or even more than one, Dementor on the train. It was the Hogwarts Express they were on! How could this happen? His grip tightened around his wand and his breathing became a lot quicker as fear began to slowly set in. 

Connor turned of his heels and immediately froze in fear. A Dementor was actually in his cabin, merely a metre or two away. As he backed off as far as he could, he raised his wand and began casting all the offensive spells he could think of. 

"Stupefy!" No effect. It glided closer.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Still no effect. Connor could almost feel the Dementor grasping at his throat.

"Incendio!" he hollered. The flame simply went straight through the Dementor. It's clammy hand wrapped around his throat and held him against the window of the train.

Nothing was working. The best he could hope for now was that someone found him. He was helpless against the pain in which the Dementor was exerting.

___________

"Harry! Are you ok?" Hermione asked almost straight after Ron. "Please, Harry, wake up!" she pleaded desperately before looking to Ron. "What are we going to do? Is-is he going to be alright?" Hermione began almost bombarding Ron with questions. Why she was doing it, she had no idea; Ron wasn't really the best person to go to in situation like this.

Before Ron could reply to any of the questions, she looked over his shoulder and outside of the cabin. She could clearly hear somebody casting a variety of spells in a different cabin but she had no idea about who it was. "There could be more Dementors attacking others. Nobody would cast spells in the train without good reason..." Hermione trailed off and then glanced at Ron. "We can't just leave Harry here, though." Hermione mentioned, making it obvious to see that she wasn't sure what course of action to take.
