Dropping things off

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi landed in the floo network and after waiting for Riley began to walk to her house. It was only a short walk to her apartment and they were there in only a few short moments. Using her wand, Cyndi nervously unlocked the door to her apartment. She stepped aside so that Riley could enter as well. "You can drop those anywhere" she said as she stepped into the kitchen area and opened the fridge. It was pretty bare. "Do you want something to drink? I've got some water, soda and I know I've got goblin wine somewhere. Sorry, I'm not here much" she apologized.

She had only lived in the apartment for two months before leaving to teach. She lived at the school now and would only spend her vacations in the house, though she was reluctant to give it up. It was a great place and would be even better once she had the chance to decorate more.

"il just have a soda thanks" riley watch as cyndi was looked in took a quick look around the appartment it was nice to to much but nice, maybe needed to be decorated a little but still.

[Cyndi Kingsley]

She grabbed a soda out of the fridge and tossed it to him, making sure to take one for herself as well. "Thanks" she said with a smile as she popped the cap and took a sip. "Um...well, I've had the place since July but this is the first time I've seen it in months" she shrugged.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley caught the soda opened it then took a mouth full, he soon realised just fizzy it was when it fizzed up in his mouth then as it came out of his mouth and nose. "Ahhhhhh, its fizzy" Riley had never had a drink come out of his nose before and it was a bit tingly and it felt weird. he recovered himself then realised what cyndi had just said. "wow whys that then whatdo you work as."

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi couldn’t help but giggle as the fizz came out of Riley’s nose. She had never seen that happen to anyone before. When he asked what she did, Cyndi smiled softly. “I’m a student teacher over at Hogwarts New Zealand. I teach Ancient Runes to the third and fourth years.” She took another sip of her drink. “So far it’s really cool…just the whole not getting to enjoy here kind of stinks. All this room and I’m never here.” She frowned a bit and shrugged. “I was actually thinking of looking for a roommate just so that someone can actually live here and so I can have company when I do come home.”

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley giggled back at her. She was easy to talk to and to be around, then some thing caught his attention. "well if you havent already picked anyone i could be your roomy. maybe even decorate this place while your at school?" Riley wasnt really used to having some where that he could actually call home.

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

"Seriously?" Cyndi asked as she thought over the idea. She broke out into a wide grin as she nodded. "That would be so cool!" she squealed in delight, "I'm hardly home so you'd have the whole place to yourself." Even though she knew her father wouldn't be thrilled with the idea of her having a male roommate, Cyndi knew that Riley was a good guy and would likely be a great roommate.

 

[Riley Smith]

A wide smile spread aross Rileys face as she saounded happy about it. "Is that a yes then?" Riley couldnt help but let out a laugh that sound very much how he used to laught when he was about 6 and when he was exited about something, like christmas. Riley was istantly embassased by his little out burst so he half smiled at cyndi as he tried to recover. "so when are you next away?"

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi nodded. "That is most definitely a yes!" she said with a laugh. When Riley asked when she would be away next again, she smiled. "Well, I actually have to head back to the school now. We've got another week and a half until holiday break" she began, "so you'll have the whole place to yourself for a while."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley was suprised to here that she had to go back now, he was just starting to settle down talking to her and he really liked her. "What you have to go now. thats a shame i was really hoping to spend a little time with my new roomy." Riley smiled then continued. "how long is the break for?"

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi nodded sadly. "Yea. I was only planning on coming here long enough to drop off my gifts. I never planned on finding a roomie on the trip too" she smiled at Riley, glad that they would be roommates. "I think the break is for two weeks or so, so we'll definitely have to do something fun together then."

She looked around the huge space. "Will you be alright all alone?" she teased. "There's an empty room back that way. I was going to use it as a guest room, but now it's yours" she said brightly.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley smirked at her joke. "Well i may end up talking to myself and having an imagenary friend but apert from that i think i will be fine." Riley laughed then a thought occured to him. "would it be ok if my little cousin came by every now and then, hes only ten and he should be starting school nexy year."

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

"It's fine with me" Cyndi said as she began to looked for a book in the shelves in the living room. Finding it, Cyndi tucked it under her arm. "Alright then. I'm off to HNZ" she said.

Before she left, Cyndi walked over to Riley and gave him a brief hug. "See you soon. Feel free to decorate anything you want" she said and then added quickly, "except my room. That's the only room I actually did decorate." She stepped back from the hug and smiled. "Well, bye then. See you during break."

 

[Riley Smith]

"Bye cyndi, have fun at school." Riley giggled then thought how nice it nowwas to have a place that he could actually call home, now all he had to do was go back to his mums and collect his stuff (not that he had very much) then he had to tell his mum and dad that he was permim=nantly moving out. That should be fun, he was just hoping that his dad was in a good mood or he will be heading for another beating and Riley was just starting to loose i the injuries from his last encounter. "See you soon." Riley smiled at her.

Right before the new year

---

Cyndi stepped into the apartment she shared with Riley and was surprised to see how great it looked. When it had been just hers, the place never seemed to lose its emptiness. It was as if the apartment seemed to sense that she was never home and it was reflected in its appearance. Now, though, it looked completely lived in and homey. Riley had definitely put a lot of hard work into it.

Hoping that Riley had received her owl saying that she would be back today, Cyndi called out "Riley...I'm here!" She was supposed to have arrived home a week ago, but her plans had quickly changed due to Kiera's secret wedding. Instead she had spent a few days in London.

Floating in front of her was her present to him. Settling it down, Cyndi turned her wand toward the lock and unlocked the cage. She was nervous to see his reaction to the BLACK CAT she had bought for him and eager to see her roommate.

Cyndi watched as the cat took a step out of the cage and began sniffing its new surroundings. "What should we name you?" she wondered aloud, hoping that Riley would have some ideas. She bent down to pet the beautiful cat and then stood up, allowing the cat to wander around.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley had spent the day inside, he wanted a day to himself for once and also because his room was comming home today so he wanted to see her. He was lying onhis bed ammusing himself with different spells when he heard the door open. He sat up as he heard someone speak, it was cyndi. A huge grin spread across his face as he got up and went to see her. When he got to the kitchen he leant on the door frame and watched her do something. As he watched her he saw an animal move, he gasped. "A cat, wow i didnt know you were getting an animal." He looked at her then walked over and stroked the cat. "So hello. How have you been?" It had been a long time since they had last met and alot had happened since then.

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi smiled as Riley entered the room and seemed to take a liking to the cat. “Surprise!” she exclaimed as she went over to him and gave him a hug. It was very good to see him. “I didn’t know what else to get you for Christmas. I was just hoping you weren’t allergic…” she explained as she moved back and the cat rubbed itself against their legs. It seemed to like them nearly as much as they liked it.

When Riley asked how she had been, Cyndi sighed. “I am so happy to be home. Working at the school is much harder than I thought it would be and I just found out that the other Ancient Runes professor is leaving, so now I’ll be teaching all of the classes” Cyndi began. She was excited and very nervous with her new position. “I got to see a few of my friends right after the semester ended though, so that was cool. How’ve you been? Has it been very lonely here?” she asked as she took off her coat and sat on the sofa. “Sit and tell me everything. I’ve missed hanging out with you” she said with a smile.

 

[Riley Smith]

RIley listened to cyndi speak then smiled. "Dont dont worry im not allergic. And it hasnt been to lonely here, i mean my brother is back now so he has been with me alot and iv been with my girl friend alot aswell." Riley sighed as he thought of ana then smiled hugely and looked at cyndi. Shes pregnant." Riley hugged her again as the happiness spread through him like it did every time he thought about it. " Oh and we also have another pet here aswell." Riley quickly went to the other side of the room and picked up speedy the tortus and went back over to where he was standing before. "This is speedy."

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi listened to Riley speak and when he mentioned his girlfriend was pregnant, her eyes widened. "Wow..." she was speechless and didn't know what else to say. She returned Riley's hug and then sat back. "You'll have to invite her over one of these days so that I can meet her. Maybe I can invite Val over and it can be a double date."

When Riley stood up to show Cyndi their other pet, she looked at him curiously. What is it? she wondered. She didn't have to for long because Riley quickly placed a tortus in front of her. When he said the thing's name, Cyndi chuckled. "Speedy? Really?"

 

[Ashton Smith]

(oooopps sorry i used the wron charactor lol)

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley laughed as she said his name. "Well i thought it was a cool name for a tortus. Come on it is a cool name." Riley smiled at her and then noticed something else that she had said. "I diddnt know that you were seeing someone. Is it serious, do i hear wedding bells?" He chuckled slightly as he spoke to her

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

"Yea, it is a cool name" she admitted with a giggle as she slipped her legs underneath her on the sofa. "What are we going to name the cat?" she asked her roommate. "I was thinking Midnight." She wondered whether Riley would have any other ideas or if he liked the name she had chosen.

When he asked about wedding bells, Cyndi's face turned beet red. "Umm...no. It's still kind of new, but I'm definitely not ready for that" she said hastily. He was the second person to ask her that and Cyndi wondered if there was anything to it.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley smiled as she said that it was a cool name. "Yeah i think that midnight is a good name for her." Rliey looked at th ecat as it rubbed against his legs. He picked it up then put it of his lap. "Hello midnight." The cat mewed at him which made him smile. "I think she likes it." He looked at cyndi. "So how long are you staying for this time?"

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Cyndi watched the cat as it went near Riley. She was glad that they seemed to like each other. "I've got a week before the semester starts. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you. The other professor who was teaching Ancient Runes decided to leave, so I've been promoted...Now, I get to teach all of the classes. Isn't that cool?" she said excitedly. It would definitely mean a lot more work for her, but it was also a wonderful opportunity especially for someone so young.

Going back to what they were speaking about earlier, Cyndi asked, "So when do I get to meet your girlfriend? How many months is she?" she asked curiously. It seemed that many people were getting pregnant these days. One of her best friends was and now she had just learned about Riley's girlfriend's pregnancy. The idea of having a baby was certainly not in Cyndi's future, or at least she hoped it wasn't.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley chuckled slightly as she told him about her promotion. " Well thats good news then. At least your doing what you love. And i couldl ask Ana to come round tomorrow if you like. I think she is busy today." Riley smiled at her then looked down and saw speedy ever so slowly making his way back to the corner of the room. He smiled. "Dont worry mate take your time. Slowly does it."
