SALLY sends Arianna a candle in her favourtie colour and scent. The note reads:

Angel,

I adore you.

Love,
Sally Bones

Sally planned this celebration in honor of Arianna's birthday and one year anniversary in the village. Any of Ari's close friends are welcome to say they helped Sally plan the event. It takes place in the botanical gardens. The weather is cool, but guests should be fine with light jackets/shawls. There are blankets laid out for the picnic. Sally cooked up a storm, but guests can bring dishes too. Since the event is outdoors and low-key, think finger-foods. The cake is a tower of different flavored cupcakes. Consider anyone who cares about Arianna invited. The event took place Saturday, Oct. 5th at noon. IC/OOC!

Gilderoy gave her a watercolour portrait he painted himself.

Helena gives this, this, and this pretty dress. She also gives this coral bracelet (Helena likes Coral now, okay?!) that is infused with a calming charm for when Arianna is feeling a little more frantic and lost. Helena infused the charm on her own (with maybe a little help from Daddy?)

Anthony gives this stuffed plush and a bouquet of wild flowers.

Dennis gives a random assortment of hair accessories, headbands, clips, that sort of thing. He also gives one bottle of body lotion that is apple cinnamon scented (and he thinks smells weird).

ALBUS drew a picture of the gardens, filled with colorful & pretty flowers, to remind her of what will eventually be there again. He also gave her this cute teddy.

REMUS gives her pretty ribbons and a watering pail with her name engraved on it. He also gives her a small sword pendent in honour of bb!Ari.

SALLY gives her this pretty dress along with candles that smell of freshly baked bread. The card attached promises the garden birthday celebration over the weekend.

MIKE gives her a card and voucher for a free meal at the food court.

DRACO gives her a flower bouquet and a sweets basket.

WHO: Albus Severus, Arianna, & Helga
WHAT: Re-meeting an old mate.
WHERE: The community garden
WHEN: Friday afternoon
RATING: PG

Albus was all too happy to volunteer his services in arranging a meeting for himself and Arianna with the lovely Founder of Hufflepuff. He understood Arianna's wariness, of course, but Helga seemed as warm and welcoming as always so he hoped the meeting went well for all involved. The village was a funny place; sometimes people arrived from a point in their lives where they were unrecognizable to those who loved them, but other times everything worked out fine. Albus saw it all as an adventure, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt sometimes. He didn't want that for his good friend. He loved Helga too, but he knew Arianna had a different sort of relationship with his former teacher. For that reason, he quickly offered to be there when Ari expressed her nerves about seeing Helga again. He chose the garden because he knew it was one of Arianna's favourite places. He hoped it calmed any nerves she might face.

He arrived extra early so he would be the first one there. He didn't want to leave Arianna alone so better early than late.

WHO: Albus Severus & Arianna Dumbledore
WHERE: One of the town roads.
WHAT: Al is on a bike ride.
WHEN: Early Saturday evening.
RATING: PG

Albus knew his thirteen-year-old self had been in the village longer than his current one, but he could not remember any of that time. His friends and family filled him in, but their memories read like tales about another person. Oh, he knew they were right. Everything sounded exactly like him right down to latching on to people he would never know at home. He never admitted hearing the stories saddened him. They told him he wanted to be older when he was here before, but now he wished he were younger. It was strange being the same age as Jamie, but it was downright horrible being the same age as his dad. Harry's frantic entry made Albus long to run and hug him, but he held back in a way he knew his younger self would not. Now? He regretted it. He did not contact Harry in the next days. He saw him writing to others, but he did not comment, not even on Nana Lily's writing. It was too hard. He did not want to scare Harry off. Not having an uncle or aunt was different. He could not handle it if Harry did not want him around. Albus loved his mother, of course, but Harry had always been the one he needed most.

James said he was going to visit Autumn so Albus set off on his own. He considered going to Scorpius and Lily, but neither of them had contacted him either. Maybe they were busy. He did not want to bother them. He considered going to Evan and Bellatrix, but what if Kirley was there? Al understood he could not be with Bellatrix because she had stuff to deal with, but part of him still thought Kirley was just more interesting. It was that way with most girls anyway. He was too naive, too flighty, and too...Albus Severus Potter. Maybe, if he was honest, part of the appeal of Dark Magic involved feeling cool.

He did not feel cool then. He felt stupid.

His stomach grumbled. Maybe he would head to the teashop for a snack. He had his notepad with him so he could jot down thoughts. The only good thing with feeling so off? It got the creative juices flowing.

WHAT: Albus is doodling, writing, and generally musing about life.
WHEN: Slightly forward dated to Sunday afternoon.
RATING: PG

It was strange to hear about a past in the village that he couldn't recall, but Al recognized himself in the stories his friends and family told. He wished he could get his hands on the journal he kept the first time, but apparently it vanished when he did. He liked the village well enough, especially meeting so many different sorts of folks, but half his heart was still back in the other world. He experimented with things his family and closest mates wouldn't approve of and now he felt like he needed to keep those secrets from them. He feared their judgment as well as their mistrust so he was left alone with his thoughts and fears. They had been right. Dark magic wasn't so easily controlled.

He gripped his quill tightly when he remembered the pull it had on him back home. The darkness scared him; it felt like two sides of him went to war, but then again hadn't he always felt that way? He hated the feeling, but, even now, he was intrigued by Lucius Malfoy's offer of more books and Bellatrix's mention of their time together. Yet, what about Scorpius? Lily Luna? Jamie? His parents?

Words came easily to Albus in those moods. He lounged against the base of the tree and scratched his quill against the parchment like it had a mind of its own. In a way, it did. He knew he was writing the words, but they were flowing so fast, it was like the message was delivered from another world.
