Unexpected Welcome``Open

[samritz]

Sam ran his fingers through his hair as he walked down his dorm room stairs. So far everything was fairly normal on his first day of his sixth year at Hogwarts. He was some what annoyed that his younger sister was submitted into Slytherin just like he was, Except that Angela was a third year student. At least he didn't have many classes with her. Being the youngest, he had to look out for her and make sure she stayed out of trouble. Which was rather annoying, he was here to study and stuff not babysit his little sister.

He shook his head at the mention of his sister Angela, who was now running out of the common room as he entered it. He lazily walked over to small bookshelf the common room in the dungeon had and sat on a couch. flipping through the pages.

[Melody Breaux]

Melody had woken up a few hours ago, hungover from playing drinking games with her friends the night before. Getting ready, she struggled to remember what had happened, as it was mostly hazy. They had played beer pong and ricochet, Drunken Jenga and Fuck the Dealer. Eventually, the games ended with a very uneventful game of strip poker. All 6 players had passed out with 2 bracelets, 4 pairs of ear rings, 1 necklace, and a left shoe in the middle of the table.

She noticed her necklace missing as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail and swore. It had been her fathers and she had worn it since she was a small child. So she searched through her things frantically, to no avail. Heading down stairs to the common room, she starts searching the chairs. Nothing. Moving to the couch, she looks underneath it. She stands and looks at Sam.

"Excuse me, but can you move for a minute?"

[samritz]

He yawned a bit not knowing why he had felt tired since he had first woken up. He didn't look tired but his body told him different. He continued lazily flipping through the many pages of the book hoping that he didn't have unfinished homework somewhere up in his dorm. He noticed that the common room was rather quiet which was rather unusual well at least to him it seemed unusual.

That's when he saw Melody searching. Well it seemed like she was searching for something that maybe she had lost. He didn't notice that he had been staring at her when he heard her ask him to move."What are you looking for?"He asked her as he simply stood up and walkled back to the book case and place his book back on the shelf.

[Melody Breaux]

"My necklace." She answers him distractedly. Pulling off the couch cusions, she reaches her hands into the crack at the back, feeling for it.

Cursing, she puts the cusions back in place and stands. "Silver chain with a silver leaf. Seen it?" She glances at him for a second before pulling apart the next couch.

"You know the one I mean, Sam. The one I'm always wearing. "

[samritz]

He sighs slightly as he didn't see what was making the books so difficlut to put back there. he pulled the book out and reached for whatever was not letting it go back to its place. He grabbed her necklace. "Silver chain with a silver leaf.

he chuckled and shook his head before placing the book back in its spot. he walked toward her with her necklace hanging from his finger tips."Now, don't tell me you were partying to much last night."He joked as she handed her the necklace back.
{I'm on a computer in the hospital so I won't be on for long xD!}

[Melody Breaux]

Smiling brightly, she takes the necklace and puts it back on. She stands and hugs him. "Samuel Ritz, you are a life saver."

Melody sits down on the couch, after putting the cussions back, and grins up at him. "No, never. I wouldn't do such a thing. Partying is beneath me." She jokes. "And I noticed you weren't. What's up with that?"

[Oh, no. You okay?]

[samritz]

He chuckles slightly as he lets her hug her."Hey, hey don't go all emotional on me."He jokes as he watches her sit on the couch and he sits besides her."Well Melody Breaux, aren't you just lucky that I am a life saver."He grins. "Yeah of course it is...that's why I would have to believe you just as much as you would believe that I was studying last night. I couldn't well get go out and party."He jokes.

{{lol, yeah I was just using a computer since I had to work there so I couldn't be on to long}}

[Melody Breaux]

She laughs. "Yeah, I'll believe you on that one, you studious student, you. When hell freezes over." She rests her head in her hands, looking at him. "Seriously, where were you? I couldn't find you anywhere. I was gunna make you play me at beer pong."

{Oh, I see. }

[samritz]

He laughed and shook his head. Sure he liked to party but he wasn't one for alcoholic games. it sort of amazed the other partying students that he didn't really know what most of the things they did. Sure he was a drinker but he didn't like getting trashed. He smirked slightly and laughed at her comment."Well what do you know....I guess hell must of froze already. Nah, you know me to well...well maybe your were not looking hard enough."He teases. "I was up in the astronomy tower."He tells her.
{{ ;D}}

[Melody Breaux]

She chuckles. "You're right. I do know you too well." Smiling, she sticks her tongue out at him. "Star gazing? You need to get a girl to bring up there with you." She grins mischieviously. "Or is there one and you've just failed to me inform me? I gotta know these things."

[samritz]

he shakes his head laughing."Yeah, stargazing like always..who would of guessed you would of got that right and it only took you one guess...your becoming a real smarty pants now."He teased her as he thought about how to respond to her comment. "So now I need to bring one up...its not like I would bring some random girl up there....but then again I always could since the one I want to bring seems to be busy."He chuckled. "Of course...I haven't failed to inform you...I just to don't want to right now."he grinned sheepishly.

[Melody Breaux]

She shrugs, smiling. "What can I say, I'm good like that." She thinks about what he said, looking up at him. "So, Sammy does have his eye on one. That's definately something to figure out." Melody chuckles. "I'm hurt, Sam. You don't want to tell me. As a long time friend, I would have thought that you'd trust me with information like that."

[samritz]

He rolls his eyes slightly and chuckles lightly."Yeah of course you are."He grinned. he doesn't look at her but responds to her question."Well sure I guess why not?"He stated and meant it to sound more like a rhetorical question. He laughs."Well good luck on figuring it out...and its not that I don't trust you...its more like I'm not sure if I do have feels for this mystery girl or not."He winks.

[Melody Breaux]

"Ah, I see." She smiles slightly. "That's a good reason not to tell anyone." She pats him on the knee. "You'll figure it out eventually." She looks away from him,thinking. Standing, she picks up a small ball that had caught her eye. "So, how was your summer?" She asks, before chucking the ball against the wall.

[samritz]

He chuckled softly at her patting his knee. It was odd for her to do that, for some reason he figured older people used that sort of contact. He shook his head laughing softly at his thoughts. He raised an eyebrow."Really, good I thought you were going to pester the answer out of me."He grinned. "But eventually what if someone else comes along and I don't know steals my attention?"He asked her jokingly.

He watched her stand up and begin to play with a random ball. Throwing it at the near by wall and catching it. he thoughts flashed to his summer. Alot had happened especially discovering that he had another sister. Who by the looks of it was definitely much older, but hot by her appearance but by her two kids."Well where should I begin?He asked her as he placed his hands behind his head and relaxed on the sofa."Well let's see I have an older sister and I found out I am an uncle...that about pretty much sums up my boring summer how about yours?"He asked her.

[Melody Breaux]

"Nope. You'll tell me when you're ready for me to know. Besides, I know you. Pushing for more information would be uterly futile." Melody throws the ball again, thinking. "Good question." She sighs.

Turning, she smiles. "Awww, it's Uncle Sammy, now. That's so cute." She teased, before throwing the ball again. "Good for you." She found herself a little jealous. It was always just her and her mom. Cousins, siblings, aunts, uncles...they just weren't a part of her life. No matter how hard she wished for them. "Boring. Just me and mom, as usual. One week at the Leaky Cauldron, like normal, and the rest of the time out in the country."

[samritz]

He chuckled at her answer knowing that she was totally right. Once he told someone he wouldn't tell them what was on his mind he wouldn't. He was like a tomb. Never uttering a word about his thoughts to anyone. Unless he wanted to tell them. He felt his jaw tense when she called him uncle.

He raised his eyebrow in amusement."Yeah,uncle Sammy."He retorted before he continued to watch her through the ball once again."Ehh, you know your mother and of course you are invited to come to my house anytime you want. But you should of called, I at least would of hung out with you to stop the boredom."He grinned. it was no secret that Sam came from a wealthy family. But unlike that rest of the wealthy he wasn't one to shove it in people faces. "Well at least you got to see the country...again."He smiled.

[Melody Breaux]

"You don't exactly sound thrilled about the whole uncle thing." She stated, throwing the ball one more time before sitting back down. "Thank you. I'll have to keep that in mind." She smiles at him. "I thought about giving you a call but I didn't want to interupt anything you had going on, so...." She sighs. "Yeah, the country. Have I ever told you how much I know you'd like the sky at night out there? You can see every star in the sky for miles around."

[samritz]

He chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair."Well you try waking up to finding out your have a older sister that your parents never told you about and guess what she had kids. you know me..I don't really like change, especially when its so drastic."He shook his head. "But I do like being an uncle..I just don't know how to act."He told her.

He grinned."Of course no problem."He chuckled and shook his head at her."Well then you should of called, I always have time for you."He teased as hugged her. "I'm sure you probably saved me from my boredom then interrupted anything important."He grinned. "Really, you know it does hurt to invite me to the country with you....or at least take pictures."He chuckled letting his arms fall away from their hug.

[Melody Breaux]

"Yeah, I suppose that is quite the change." She smiles at him a little. " I don't think anyone in that situation would. But you will. Just gotta give it some time."

Her smile brightens as she listens to him. "I'll remember that next time." She chuckles a little bit as she hugs him back. "Poor bored Sammy. Oh well. C'est passe. I'll call next summer. Scouts honor." Mel lets go of him and smiles. "Okay, how about this. You have a standing invitation over Christmas break. Show up anytime. Pictures just wouldn't do it justice."

[samritz]

He rolled his eyes and chuckled."Hmm...time...I..I guess your right. No one ready to just become uncle or aunt or whatever in just one day. Its funny though my niece is only a year younger then me. Fifth year Ravenclaw...she is. I just don't see her like my niece...more of a sister really."He told her with a laugh.

He smirked slightly."Just in case you don't I'll send you an owl."He shook his head. "Yes, poor bored Sammy."He mimicked. "Hmm...I'm sure you will, but if not then I could always swing by your place."He grinned. "Really Christmas huh...sounds great. I'm sure to show up besides...I hate sending you your presents through owls."He laughed.

[Melody Breaux]

She grins. "Yeah, time. Supposedly fixes everything." She chuckles. "Is she really? That's interesting. I'd have a hard time thinking of her as a niece, too, I think. Just too close in age."

She nods, smiling. "I shall expect a letter then." Mel rolls her eyes. "Of course I'll call you. I'm gunna need a strong guy to help me move. Mom's kicking me out when I graduate. Says I need to get moving on my own two feet, or whatever." She laughs. "You better show up. I'm not too fond of owling your presents either."

[samritz]

He chuckled."Some how I know you would say that...I mean about the age being so close together. Yeah..time...you know you shouldn't always believe what you hear...some people can be very misleading."He grinned at her and nodded slightly. "Alright...hopefully I don't forget to send you that letter."He smirked and laughed slightly."Oh, of course just call me anytime....I'd love to help you out into the real world."He grinned.
He smiled and nodded."Don't worry your pretty little head about it, I'll come over with your presents."

[Melody Breaux]

"You know me too well, that's why. You're accustomed to my frequency." She grins. "That's what people keep telling me but it hasn't stuck yet." She shrugs. "If you forget, you forget. You just won't get to see me." She looks up at him and smiles. "Really? I think that would make my summer if you helped me move." With a chuckle, Mel rolls her eyes. "Oh how you have put my terribly worried mind at ease. I just don't know what I would do without presents from you."
