Hey

[Speed Stark]

Speed was walking around in circles at Brightstone, not because he was lost but because he had lost his sister, how a brother could lose his sister Speed was not sure but he had managed it. Speed was slowly becoming agitated, if he could not find his sister than she would kill him once she found him. Speed decided to give up on the search and have some fun, maybe do some small shopping while things were cheap or go talk to people. So when he came to a shop he did what his natural instinct told him to, he bought nearly everything.

After several hours of shopping Speed had several bags of shoes, nail polish, shirts, pants, hats, scarfs, ect, if the item had been made, and it was pretty and his or his sisters size he bought it. Speed was so distracted with his items that he accidently bumped into a small girl, he immediately put the bags down and rushed over to see if she was alright, but he was cautious, the last girl he tried to help made him cry. “Oh my god are you OK?” He said in a caring voice.

 

[Willow Autumn]

Willow made her way into Brightstone, deciding that this would be a good chance to catch up on the wizarding shops and scenery before she had to catch her flight back into Dunedin for the Christmas Holiday.
Arms loaded in bags and gifts, She stumbled about in the pathway, thinking that she'll look like an idiot or some waddling penguin who does not know her way around Brightstone.

Sighing, she carried on walking, keeping her eye out on another shop. Humming, she found a shop that she liked further down the road and waddled her way towards it.

"oof!" Willow felt someone bang into her and fell, thinking it was some busy person trying to get their christmas shopping done also, she forgave the person already without knowing who it was.
"Oh my god are you OK?" the voice seemed caring and she looked up to see a boy who was looking down at her with a worried expression.

Willow smiled and gave a small laugh before picking herself up off the ground, brushing the dirt off her knees; "Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking" Willow gave the boy a re-assuring smile, Willow knew she was the most accident prone person in her entire family, falling over didn't seem as much of a deal as it used to when she was younger. Picking up her dropped belongings she faced the stranger again; "I'm guessing you were doing some mad shopping also?" She nodded over to the large pile of bags behind him.

 

[Speed Stark]

Speed calmed down a little, she wasn’t mean or rude, Speed did really hate rude and mean people, he was quite weak when it came to emotional attacks also, but he laughed when she commented o the amount of bags he had. “Oh no I always shop like this, it truly is a disease.” He explained, he shopped worse than his sister and mother combined, and that was saying something. “I try to keep my shopping habits under control but I always fail, are you doing mad shopping or do you also shop till you drop on a regular basis?” He asked sitting down on the closest bench and putting down all of his things, he was sure someday his arms would fall off in the middle of shopping.

“So are you here by yourself?” He asked, usually people shopped with friends and he did not want to keep the girls friends waiting, until he realised that he had suddenly jumped into conversation and had forgotten to tell the girl his name. “By the way Im Speed Stark, nice to meet you.” He said laughing.

 

[Willow Autumn]

Willow laughed at boy's joke about his Shopping disease; "I'd rather have the shopping disease than any other old disease any day." She laughed, realizing that her joke would considered pretty lame to other people, she shrugged.
She listened as the boy explained about his shopping habits, she smirked while he explained, Willow's Aunt Alice seemed to have the same habits as he did - and boy, did she love to shop.

"I'm a mad shopper, I guess my Aunt raised me that way" Willow giggled and continued; "I shop till I drop sometimes, not always - but if I see something good. Then yeah, I go crazy" Willow beamed, and made her way towards the bench to dump her stuff, it was getting a bit heavy, she took a seat and carried on conversing with the boy, she was happy - it was nice to talk to someone for a bit.

"Yeah, I'm here by myself, I guess it's a good thing in a way since i'm stocking up on gifts and all that for everyone back home, but sometimes I like shopping by myself - that way no one can talk me out of buying something I want!" She smiled and realized she hasn't introduced himself; "Hi Speed, That's a really cool name by the way - really unique. I'm Willow Autumn, Pleasure to meet you." She joined in with his laughter.

 

[Speed Stark]

Speed nodded in agreement, he hated being sick because if he was sick, then he couldn’t go out and shop or visit family and play with his friends, and he was sometimes grumpy! Speed hated being grumpy, it made him feel old. “I hate being sick, it makes me feel old, and In my opinion Im old enough.” He said nodding, he didn’t notice that it was in fact a joke, but he would probably get it later.

“Do you live with your Aunty?” He asked, at the moment he lived with his uncle, sister, Abby, Austiin and little Tommy. “I’m living with my uncle so I can go to Hogwarts.” He said shrugging, he really wanted to go but now that he was here he really missed his mother and friends, not so much his dad but mostly his mother, the only good things about coming here were he has a huge bedroom, he lives with very awesome people, he’s going to a magical school, the people here were different in an exciting way and he was away from his Grandfather.

Speed nodded when Willow told him she was by herself, maybe she was muggleborn. Speed didn’t care if she was muggle born or not, but she was still really adorable. “Do you live with muggles?” He asked, he knew people who had lost their parents so he choose his words carefully so, if Willow had lost her parents she wouldn’t have to tell a complete stranger. “But sometimes it’s good to have someone there to tell you when to stop, or to just carry the bags.” He said with a laugh. “Usually I drag Cameron down with me so he can shop too, and so I can give him all the bags I dont want to carry, but this time Im flying solo.”

Speed laughed and nodded. “It truly is a great name, It suits me well and my sister says that Im like a drug.” He said laughing, it was a joke his sister used to always play, she would compare him with the muggle drug called speed, but only people who lived with muggles or knew alot about muggles got it. “Willow Autumn, autumn is my favourite season and Willow’s are my favourite trees!” He exclaimed happily. “What a coincidence!” He added in the same happy manner.

 

[Willow Autumn]

Willow smiled when Speed told her about his hatred of being sick; "I guess it just one of those things that can't be helped, I hate being sick too...and you don't look that old" Willow had the urge to laugh, but wasn't really sure if it was appropriate to or not.

It wasn't long until the subject if she was living with muggles and where abouts her parents were, although Speed said he was living with his uncle so he could go to hogwarts, Willow was living with her relatives for an entirely different reason - a place to call home. "Yeah, I live with my Aunt and Uncle and my Cousin - their all muggles, some people at school thinks that's weird and think I'm muggle born, but i'm actually a Half Blood..apparently." Willow figured, if Speed was smart enough, then he would have figured out that her Parents passed, although Willow didn't mind talking about it, she didn't want to get into it straight away.

Willow laughed when Speed complimented her name, it wasn't a type of name that you'd come across everyday; "Everyone thinks I was born in Autumn and there was a Willow tree nearby or something, it makes up some good stories though, people think I should get a wand that's made out of Willow - that way, I'm really living up to my name." She grinned and thought about the last thing she said, ...living up my name....ha ha Willow, very funny.

 

[Speed Stark]

Speed giggled slightly. “Tell that to my poor aching bones.” He said rolling his eyes in a playful manner, Speeds body was not in pain because of age, but because of the fact he falls over so often, sometimes Speed was such a klutz.

Speed tilted his head slightly. “I dont know how muggles do it to be honest, I really admire some of them to be honest.” He said smiling. “I mean, I cannot cook without magic while there are muggles out there that can cook to best food I have ever tasted in my whole life, It is truly amazing!.” He said nodding, Speed did not understand why some magical people looked down on muggles, if anything muggles were tougher than magical people, they could do things that magical people would use magic to do, though Speed was sure a muggle wouldn’t not survive magical games, such as exploding snap and other things. Speed did notice the apparently in Willow’s comment, does that mean that her magical parent has died, or both have? Speed shook the thought out of his head; it would be rude to question the young girl about her family when it was not his business.

Speed laughed. “Why on Earth would they think that? It I had a baby in Autumn under a Willow tree the last thing I would name it was Willow Autumn, besides I cannot choose my kids last name anyway, sometimes I wonder about people.” He said shaking his head slowly, sometimes people thought other people were too predictable. “I would probably call my kid Belladonna Spring, just so they have nothing in common with the place they were born.” He said smiling and nodding. “Though what I would be doing having a baby in Autumn under a Willow tree I have no idea.” He said laughing, it would be impossible for him to have a baby, he was a boy after all.
