Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Ruby heard Edward talk to Evan and his family coming to the duplex and smiled. " even better" she said smiling " this will be a proper Christmas with all the family" she said smiling as she sipped her mulled wine feeling it warm her on the inside.

Aria looked to Edward and nodded " even that would be good" she said and smiled to him. Ruby checked the girls and sat down with her drink. " it would be good seeing them again" Aria added as Ruby nodded next to her.

"Victor mentioned that he would like to take Ginger someplace and stay in a hotel for the night for New Year's Eve," Edward told Ruby and Angus. "I know you have some thoughts about legalities and such, but he has been making some sound decisions lately. Do give it some thought, would you? I can see perhaps waiting on giving Sam such consideration, but Victor might be a different story."

"We'll discuss it," Angus told Edward. He would discuss it with Ruby, but he wanted to be alone with her when he did it. He didn't want a lot of other opinions weighing in.

Simone came over and looked at Ruby.

"I don't know if you've started lunch yet, but I have a big pot of cockaleekie soup on, and there's plenty to feed all of us and still have leftovers. I have a loaf of a nice crusty oatmeal bread. I thought about just slicing it, unless you'd like to turn it into some sort of sandwich. Oh, and I made a big batch of cheesecake swirl brownies that we could have for a little sweet nibble after lunch if you like."

Ruby heard Edward and looked to Angus and nodded " yeah we can talk about it later" she aid smiling as she finished her small drink and took the mug back to the kitchen to wash. Aria knew the look that Angus had and smiled knowing he wanted to talk alone with Ruby.

Aria saw Simone walk in as Ruby walk out the kitchen hearing her talk to her about dinner " I've not really thought about it yet" she said then heard Simone and smiled " oh that sounds perfect, and sliced would make it an addition to the soup." she said walking over to Simone.

"Okay," Simone said. "I'll go cut the bread. I'll have Edward carry over the soup in a little bit."

"I'll come and get that whenever you're ready," Marcus said.

"Would you? Thanks," Simone smiled. "And can one of you get the sideboard ready, please? Thanks. I don't honestly have any ideas for a dessert, btu I do have a huge surplus of some really sweet apples if I could come up with something to do with them. It would have to be quick, though."

"I know a quick recipe that would make use of some of those," Angus said. "I could do it in my sleep."

"I don't honestly need you to be asleep, but dessert would still be great," she laughed.

"I'll see what I can do. Ruby or Aria, could one of you go get some of those sweet apples and peel some for me? I think, honestly, we'll need about a dozen apples. I need them peeled, cored and then sliced horizontally in rings, please," Angus said. He got out a big pot and filled it with peanut oil and started heating it for some deep frying. Then he made up a quick sweet batter that he added cinnamon, some vanilla, and a little muscovado sugar to while the oil was heating.

Ruby heard Simone and smiled " yes thank you" she said as she heard mention of getting the side board ready but Aria stood up and spoke up .

"I'll get that" she said with a smile as Ruby heard Angus talk of apples and peeling them.

"oh I can do that" she said and went to the kitchen where she began to peel and place in a second bowl before washing and slicing just as Angus wanted. Aria worked on setting the side board with fresh plates and glasses along with a jug of fresh fruit juice she also made a fresh pot of coffee and tea for any one who wanted some after their food.

Angus began battering the apple slices and dropping them into the hot oil to fry. As soon as they were done, he got them from the oil and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on them. While that was happening, Marcus brought over the soup and Simone brought the slices of bread.

"Is that what I think that is?" Edward asked, peering into what Angus was cooking. "It is! Nice! I haven't had those since I went to Sergio's and Ana's last." He picked up one and crunched into the hot crispy batter. "God, you even found a way to improve it."

"Well, what is it?" Simone frowned.

"A Romanian favorite. Apples in Pajamas," Edward said. "I hope you're making lots."

"I planned on making a lot because I know how you'll eat them," Angus said.

"Good," Edward said.

"Well, if you have something yummy, don't hoard them, Edward," Elwood said. Edward took enough for everyone to have one, plated them, and passed them around. "They're better while they're fresh and hot. They're like onion rings, but they're sweet, not savory."

"Those are addictive as hell," Elwood said, crunching on his own slice. "You'd better hope we don't run out of apples."

"You'd better eat soup before you fill up on apples," Simone laughed. "Soup's ready. Come get some and some fresh bread. Then you can eat apples."

Aria saw Simone with the soup and Edward with the bread. " smells good Simone." she said with a smile as she saw Edward take a battered cinnamon apple slice and eat it, taking one for herself she bit into it and smiled " this is good" she said finishing it as she continued to set out the table with the soup and bread.

Ruby chuckled as she continued to slice apples into rings for Marcus who dip[ped it and fried it then rolled it in the cinnamon sugar. " I'll have mine after my soup" she said " but it does small good." she finished the last apples and emptied her bowl of scraps into the recycling bin to go out to the compost heap later then placed it in the dish washer. Once it was done she moved to the play pen and picked up Caprice and Amari walking with both to the high chairs and set them down to eat as Aria placed a bowl in front of each , now cooled enough for them to eat from.

Edward, Elwood, and Marcus all had seconds on the soup. It was one of the few times Angus could remember Elwood having seconds.

"I have to say, Simone, I was a bit skeptical about the soup because the foul tempered house elf we had made the worst cockaleekie on the planet. It really says something when cockaleekie soup from a can is several steps up from the house elf's version. This reminds me of my gran's, and it's what it should be. Thank you. I think it's only fair to warn you all that I may eventually have to get a place of my own because Robert told me that since I've been living with you all, I've gained a full stone."

"Really? Wonderful," Angus said. "After all, when we got you from that castle to St. Mungos, you were underweight by over 3 1/2 stone. That is some of the best news I've heard in a long time."

"I told Andrew and Elwood that I want to take Elwood out this afternoon," Edward said. "I think he's on his feet enough that he could go to the Leaky for the first time in nearly 60 years for a proper pint--if we apparate in close to the Leaky, that is."

"I think that would be a great opportunity for Angus to get a little change of pace. Maybe he and I should join you," Marcus said.

"The more the merrier, I say," Elwood grinned.

Ruby and Aria looked at them men and chuckled " nice a girls day in"Aria said chuckling to herself as they spoke of going to the leaky " Looking to Elwood Aria spoke softly " try their fish and chips" she said " Robert can't get enough of them" she ate her soup with some bread and smiled savoring the flavors that came from it. " really good " she said as she dipped her bread into the soup to soak up the small amount left in the bottom of the bowl.

Ruby smiled and nodded " I agree, it'll be good for you all to get out for a while and a way from here." she said giving Caprice some brad and watched as she dipped it and ate it smiling to show she liked the soup. She ate her own soup then some bread.

"We won't be gone long," Edward said. "Elwood isn't strong enough for that. I don't want to overtire him. We'll go straight there and come straight back."

"We could do that, Aria. We could order some fish and chips and split them, just for the tasting, of course," Elwood said. "Maybe, if this goes well, I might soon be able to go checkout some of the shops."

"I don't think that's far away, but it is not for this outing. This is strictly about the beer," Edward said. "What do you want to go to the shops for? What do you need?"

"Look, Youngster," Elwood said to Edward, making Edward laugh, "this will be the first Christmas I've celebrated in almost 70 years, and it's the first one ever with my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I have a family I didn't have before. I might want to shop."

"Oh. I see," Edward nodded.

"No. He doesn't see," Simone said. "That's my job."

"And the cooking, and the decorating and the wrapping..." Edward teased.

"Careful, Edward," Marcus laughed. "You're making it sound like all you do is show up."

"That's exactly what he does," Simone laughed.

"And I'm very good at it," Edward said, unapologetically. Marcus got up and cleared the table, putting the dirty dishes in the sink. As he went past the apples, he speared five slices on his index finger and sat down to eat them with a cup of coffee. "I'm ready whenever you lot are."
