Hogwarts Grounds

[[yeah. Everything 'cept the white stuff.]]

*Summer opene her parcel to find a beautifully crafted circlet resting on fine velvet. She took the circlet out and held it in her hands.*

S-sam... did you get one too?

Professor Algorith walks onto the grounds with her valise in tow, waiting by the games keeper's cabin. She appears to be dressed for a cold outing.

Katie walks onto the grounds, dressed warmly. She tugs at the neck of her cloak and her Slytherin scarf. She walks over to Prof. Algorith. "I'm ready to go."  

[cocosam]

"Good good. Follow me." Professor Algorith says, walking towards the gate. When they get to the gate, she takes Katie's hand and breaths in deeply.

Katie thinks.
Oh my goodness! I'm going to apparate!!!!!  

[cocosam]

Professor Algorith then feels like something is squeezing her very hard. She closes her eyes, she never did like apparating. When she opens them again, she sees that she had landed on a grassy field with a small hut.

Katie gasps and falls over. "Ugh! I hate that!" she yells inaudibly into the ground she landed on. She gets up and brushes herself off. "Okay then. Shall we go in?" she asks her professor.  

[cocosam]

Professor Algorith chuckles. She remembers her first time apparating. "Yes, we shall. Now, if he asks who I am: tell him I'm your grandmother."  

[Est_monte_de_Dieu]

"Yes ma'am." Katie walks forward to the house and raps on the door.

[[I'll do this Part]]

Professor Algorith sees a large, burly man open the door. "Yeah?" He says. Professor Algorith exams him. "I am Mrs. Westley. I work at the Ministry of Magic, in the department of social servicing. I understand that you have requested the claim of Katie Rowanspurgen. I also understand that your are her uncle, relation by marriage. At the Ministry, we have no record of your marriage. I was also a close friend of your...'wife', and know that she cannot keep a secret. No one who knew your wife knows about you. How would you like to counter to this? Also, I can counter you on this. I am Katie's grandmother. Her mother's." Professor Algorith, masquerading as Mrs. Westley, looks up into the man's face and raises her eye brow. He then begins to talk. "Er..yes, you must be Katie. I was married to your aunt. And I do think that you should live with me. Durmstrang has so much to offer." Professor Algorith laughs a bitter laugh. "Katie cannot live with you, seeing as I am closer to her in relation. I also beg to differ. The Ministry does not approve of Durmstrang's teachings at all. I shall now let Katie talk."

"Thank you, Grandmary," Katie says, playing along. "We came here because of the letter you sent me." Katie pulls it out of her bag and slaps it into the man's hand. "You can keep it. And as for living with you, enclosed in the letter are full forms that say that I belong to me, myself, and I, and that I am in the custody of my friend's parents, due to the fact that Granmary is allowing me to. She is my legal gaurdian. And unless you wish to gain custody through the law, I suggest-" Katie stops. She recognized this man. He knew her aunt, but they were far from married. He hated her aunt. What could he gain?  

[cocosam]

Professor Algorith decided to finish for her. "She suggests that you won't. As you don't live in England, winning over our ministry would be impossible."

Kitty Apparited behind Katie and Professor Algorith in time to hear her last sentence. "Merlin's pants! I'm not even in England anymore?! Great ending to my first test for my Apparition license- Hi, Katie! Oh...um...I seem to have stumbled on something personal. I'd leave, but I'm a little afraid of where I'll end up...I'll just...go over there." Kitty turned and started to walk out of hearing range.
