Adventure is out there.

Why should I sit around bored when there is so much in the world to explore. Nina Bolton, Ancient Runes TA, at your service. If you ever need an adventure co-captain or companion, I'm your girl.

Adorable giggles. Tarryn could almost throw up at the sound of them. “You’re my princess, of course you’re special.” He set her down and ruffled her hair, offering his arm for her to take soon after. “Nice to hear I don’t need to bury anyone for you. C'mon now, adventures await.”

“Ah, you know. Here, there, hiding, escaping the authorities…” He winked. “The usual. And you, Nina?”

[queenanina]

“Why.. thank you, Tarryn!,” she grinned, happily taking his arm, “ How refreshing to have someone as eager for adventure as me. Trust me. It’s a lot harder to find than you would think.” 

“Not much really, trying to get everything sorted out, finding a place to live, a job, what not....” she paused, only for a moment, before bursting, “Tarryn, I wanna get a cat.” 

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

Oh I’d never think he was boring! A bit odd at first of course but aren’t we all? [smiles] Well then it seems you’ve found an incredible man to work with. 

I’m kidding of course! But anyway! No! No wedding dress yet! I’m thinking summer though, and I was extra thinking one of those dresses that’s long but can turn short. Oh you’ll be amazing! And we’ll find you all perfect dresses. You know, I was thinking it would be unique if like, all the bridesmaids got different ones that they liked the most.

[queenanina]

Yes, I think we all have our little quirks that makes us odd, but that’s just who we are, right? Oh, no no no, it’s not like that, Sutton! No, not at all like that. Ahh, that’s.. no...

Does this mean we get to go wedding dress shopping? *squeals with glee* I’d love to come along and help, if you don’t mind. I’m sure with a little persistence we will find THE ONE. Ooh, different bridesmaid dresses, that would be lovely, and quite adorable, might I add.

“Hugs? Do you take me for a simpleton?” Tarryn feigned offense for a moment, before letting out a laugh. He lifted Nina into a hug and spun the girl around. “My little princess, of course I want a hug from you. Tell me, have the people been nice? Do I have to cut anyone?”

[queenanina]

Nina gasped as she was initially lifted up, giggling as they hugged, “Gee wow, I feel so special! Yes, yes people have been wonderful, don’t worry. The war is over now, things can finally settle down again.” 

“I haven’t seen you in ages, Tarryn! Where have you been, anyways?”

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

[giggles] I do suppose we learned something here. Ancient Runes! That’ll be… interesting. I don’t think I took that class… It always seemed intriguing to me though! Professor Rejkowski was such a nice and funny man, it would definitely be worth it if you got to work with him!

Really? It’s not stupid? Cool! I’ll ask them then because… I just think it would be special and I can’t just walk down all by myself! [hugs her back tightly] Of course! Hugs are available at all times with me! And I’m glad you’re on board with purple! Now I just gotta convince Will and my plan will be final mwahaha! [laughs] I’m so excited! Even more now that you’ll be up there with me!!

[queenanina]

Yeah, not the first class I would recommend someone taking, but definitely not the worst one offered either. Professor Rejkowski is a serious sweetheart, not the boring man I always hear people talking about. They just need to take a little bit of time to get to know him, he is just really amazing. That’s all that’s to it.

Oh yes, definitely super special. I love it. Do you already have a wedding dress picked out? If so, I would love to see it. I can’t wait to get my bridesmaid dress and everything. I’ve never actually been a bridesmaid before. I hope I do alright. Ahh! This is quite fabtastic. 

[holymanis-blog]

“Y'know, I’ve been back for a bloody hour and no one’s kissed my feet yet.” He let out a sarcastic sigh and looked to the person beside him. “Want to be the first? I know– it’s an honor.”

[queenanina]

“Ha ha, very funny,” she rolled her eyes, laughing, “Do you think a hug will do? Or is that totally unacceptable compared to the whole ‘kissing of the feet’ thing?”

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

Yeah exactly! I mean… I think we’ve already learned a lot more outside of school than we did in, if you asked me! [grins widely] That would be so fun! You’ll be able to help people find their inner genius! You’ll be great! What class is it for?

[giggles and squeals as well] Yes okay this is great!! I’m thinking I want the colors to be purple because it’s my fave obviously! But I’ve just gotta get Will to come around. I’m sure he will, and if not I’ll pull the pity card or something! And, tell me if this is dumb, but since my Dad’s not here, I was thinking about asking Marcus and Eddie if they would walk be down the aisle instead… As long as it’s not dumb. 

[queenanina]

Hogwarts isn’t very good at teaching usable life skills. Though being able to control my magic is a perk... I guess I have appreciate what Hogwarts did teach me. Ancient Runes. Kind of a boring class, but I’m good enough to be able to help grade things, and I really enjoy Professor Rejkowski’s company, so I think it will be fun. 

Oh, purple weddings are like so pretty. When they have all the different purple flowers and stuff. I love it! Wow! Can I give you a hug? I’m going to give you a hug. *hugs Sutton really quick* No, that’s not dumb at all. It’s actually kind of cute. 

This is really really exciting.

When I first auditioned for drama school I went down to London the night before, and I remember going to see a play. I actually went to see this actress that I knew in it, called Helen McCrory. I’ve never seen anybody on stage like her. She was absolutely electrifying. I’ve never seen anybody so full of basically every single thing… it was a Shakespeare play, and ever since then I’ve watched all of her performances on stage. She’s doing Medea at the moment at the National Theatre. There are certain performances and certain actresses… Emma Thompson I think is just delightful. Ruth Wilson too, who’s a young actress, I saw her in A Streetcar Named Desire [at the Donmar Warehouse] not long ago. Marion Cotillard as well. Her performances are so beautiful and intelligent.

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

Ah very true! I’m not either, to be honest… something magical I’m sure! [groans] Please never make me think of those bloody essays again I beg of you. I’m so glad I’ve got a job so I won’t be going back when it’s all patched up. You’re quite right, I don’t think much of it prepared us for real life, but I suppose they didn’t count on all of… that… to happen! [grins and nods with a giggle] Yes I’m so for real!!! Thank you! I’m so glad you accepted! I’m really excited too!! Will and I haven’t had much of a chance to get a date set but I want all my bestest friends by my side when it happens! And you’re one of them of course! 

[queenanina]

You know, I thought about finishing up my last year but I feel like the only thing I would get out of that was a whole lot of extra essay writing and test taking. Might as well try to get out into the world and do something with myself. I’m not really leaving Hogwarts though. I get to work as a TA, so hopefully that will be fun, right? 

Wow! *squeals in excitement* Well, I’ll be there, whenever it is. Oh! If you need any sort of help with planning or whatever I’m totally willing. Okay? Okay!

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

[laughs loudly] I haven’t quite got the grammaticy skills for writing, I’ll be behind the scenes doing hair and makeup at Marcus’ magazine. I think there actually was an article written about it… While I’m flattered I’d also like everyone to forget about it. I do hate being the dramatic one. [grins] Well I think so too! And by the way, I hope this isn’t strange but you’ve been such a great friend to me since we first met and… I wouldn’t have gone to the ball without your help and you’ve just been lovely and I was wondering if you’d like to be a bridesmaid at my wedding perhaps…? 

[queenanina]

Don’t you know that’s why they have editors. I’m not really sure how it works in the wizard world, but I would think magic makes writing for the papers so much easier. Then again, essays at Hogwarts were always my least favorite... and you never really were allowed to use magic for those.... But then again, life isn’t like Hogwarts much, is it? Eh, being behind it all will have to do for now. Ha, well I do try to be a good friend. All in a days work, I suppose. *gasps* Oh my goodness. Are you for real? Sutton! Yes yes yes! *bounces up and down a tiddle tad bit* A million times yes. Gee wow. Okay. *takes a deep breath* I’m really excited now. 

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

I hope the rumors painted me in the most flattering light possible. You know, heroic girl saves herself after being abducted from her home. I can see the headlines now. [giggles] I’m alright. Couple of bumps and bruises are nothing I’m a stranger to! Gemma and Will are alright, that’s what matters honestly. I’ve missed you! [laughs] Great because I’ve been instructed by my hubby to be to spoil myself! 

[queenanina]

Oh yes, only flattering rumors for sure. If wrote I for the papers I would totally steal that title from you. Pure genius, I tell ya. You should look into writing for the Daily Prophet. You’re a natural. Well then, it’s good to see you all safe and sound, Sutty. I’m sure in light of the recent happenings, you definitely do deserve a bit of spoiling. 

[gryffindorable-sutton-ages-blog]

Well it’s been a dramatic and quite scary few weeks but I’ve decided I’m not going to be afraid anymore so… anyone up for a bit of a shopping trip with Gemma and I?

[queenanina]

My goodness, Sutton, I haven’t seen you in quite a while. I heard a few rumors going around. Are you alright? Is everything alright? God, I’m glad you’re okay. Shopping? Of course I’m up for shopping.

[ashton-broodyteacher-blog]

“Well, I guess I’ll take your word of advice my good friend.”

“For me? Yes, everything and anything is all in order and I like to keep it that way.”

[queenanina]

“Ahh that’s good. Yes, I’m just now sorting my life out and I hope that nothing comes to jumble it all up again,” Nina nodded, “You hear that universe? I don’t want any curve balls! Not today!” she shouted towards the sky. “SO. Do you have any fun adventure plans before school starts up again?”

[ashton-broodyteacher-blog]

“Fine, you’re right. But I have to say you shouldn’t be so…keen to being wrong a lot. Fight the system a bit I feel.”

[queenanina]

“Ehh, like I said, you get used to it. Trust me, if I know I’m right, I will most definitely let the system know.”

“How are things now that the war ordeal is over? Is everything settling down back to normal for you or...?”

[ashton-broodyteacher-blog]

“Truth be told. I hate being wrong it urks me for some odd reason.”

[queenanina]

“You know it’s not that bad. I’m wrong all the time. You get used to it. Just accept it and admit that I am right and everything will be fine.”

[ashton-broodyteacher-blog]

“From my calculations and studies. There is no way possible that is remotely accurate nor true.”

queenanina

[queenanina]

“Oh come on, Professor. Don’t bring all that fancy calculating into this. You just don’t want to admit I’m right.”

Jenna out and about in London (15.04.15)

[queenanina]

Anyone up for some adventuring?

[mamas-boy-gabe-blog]

[laughs and nods along with her enthusiasm] I’m hella thankful to find someone else so happy and energetic! It’s so exciting! [ponders for a moment and rubs his chin dramatically] I’ve got this one favorite, and it’s the only one I’ll special request, it’s just a few blocks that way, they’ve got the best cake milkshake you’ve ever had. 

[queenanina]

Mmmm, I haven’t had a good milkshake in so long! Okay, awesome. You got it. *poofs us to the bakery because I don’t want to have them keep walking anymore so yay they have arrived!* Here we are. Buttercup Bakery. After you, good sir.
