Prince Castle/Stables

Prince Castle Stables

From the Entrance Hall you'll walk across the grounds here to the stables. There's room for plenty of animals, though the stables are currently empty. Not too far from the stables is the Quidditch Pitch, and back beyond that is the Lake.

Roleplay

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 12:34, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She figured she'd find Jonathan out here so she came to look.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 14:47, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He was down in a stall with a rake, mucking it out. Aria would probably be able to smell it.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 14:50, October 4, 2019 (UTC) As she got close she would smell it and wrinkle her nose. She'd pause trying to decide and finally move back away and wait by a tree nearby for him to be done.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 14:55, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He had noticed someone move in and then out. When he was done he stepped outside of the stables and saw Aria. "Oh, hey. Was that you?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 14:59, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd look up then nod. "Yeah...the smell kept me from coming in though."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 15:09, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He rolled his eyes. Aria could be such a prissy princess sometimes. "Did you need something?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:11, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd shrug. "Just coming to see how you're doing. It's a different feel being back here at home than the castle. Besides we don't really get to connet too much at school being in different houses."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 15:23, October 4, 2019 (UTC) "Which is fine," he said with a shrug. "We're family, but that doesn't mean we have to be together or check in all the time."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:28, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd frown slightly. "No...but that doesn't mean we can't see how one another is doing occasionally either." She'd pause. "So how was the end of your year? What did you think about the end of term exams?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 15:31, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He gave her a strange look. "They went fine, Mom," he said.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:34, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd frown. "I'm not trying to act like your Mom Jonathan...but I do care about you and I want us to be part of each other's lives."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 16:49, October 4, 2019 (UTC) "Okay, but that doesn't mean you need to ask me about my grades or check in like a parent. You can just... do stuff with me."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 16:55, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd shake her head. "I didn't ask about your grades...just how the exams went. I was just trying to open a dialogue not check in or anything. Sorry you felt like that was my intent."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:01, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He rolled his eyes. "You started this off with 'just came to see how you were doing'. That's a check in."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:18, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd frown. "You don't have friends that ask, Hey, how are you? or Been a while since I've seen you...how are you?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:22, October 4, 2019 (UTC) "Not... in that way. They just ask what's up or... how's it going? And it's casual. You had this whole story about how home life is different from being at the castle and such."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:26, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd throw up her hands. "Fine...if you're going to be a jerk about it just forget I ever asked." She'd turn to head back towards the house.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:31, October 4, 2019 (UTC) "Aria..." he shook his head. All he was trying to do was point out she was acting more like a mom than a sister. If she couldn't figure that out... then that was on her. "Do you want to go riding?" He called after her.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:36, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd pause and turn back clearly torn. After a few moments she'd let out a breath and nod. "Sure."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:48, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He gave her a little smile. "Which one do you want? I can help you saddle up." OOC: Realizing through this RP that Jonathan's love language is quality time through doing, and maybe less through conversation if that makes sense?

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:52, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd give her head a little shake and move over to a chestnut that she always preferred. "I can saddle my own horse." She'd get a saddle and begin putting it on the horse. OOC: I was realizing the same thing about him and that Aria's more of a quality time though talking type where she just wanted to talk about how they were doing and connect that way.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:56, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He nodded and saddled up the black stallion he liked best. Once it was on, he opened up the pen and brought out the horse using the lead rope. OOC: Maybe an introveted/extroverted difference. Jonathan finds conversation taxing. Spending time in an activity is easier.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:00, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd follow his lead out of the gate making sure to close it behind her. OOC: Yup, that's probably it. She'd much rather chat/talk/gossip than sit quietly.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:01, October 4, 2019 (UTC) Once outside the gates, he stuck his foot in the stirrup and swiftly mounted his horse.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:06, October 4, 2019 (UTC) She'd follow suit mounting up on her own horse and following Jonathan's lead.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:08, October 4, 2019 (UTC) He squeezed his legs and clucked gently to his horse to get him moving. "I like going down through the gardens," he said, starting in that direction.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 00:11, October 5, 2019 (UTC) She would nod and gently direct her horse that way too riding slowly beside him. "So, anything you're looking forward to this summer?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 02:22, October 5, 2019 (UTC) He shrugged. "Nothing will compare with last summer. I was hoping that Aunt Melinda would take me somewhere else again.... but since she's getting married I doubt that will happen..."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 12:10, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah, probably not." She'd pause. "Maybe we could go somewhere though...I mean as a family like the Villa last year?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 12:54, October 7, 2019 (UTC) "I mean, aren't we already doing that for Aunt Melinda's wedding?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 13:00, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah, but I didn't mean the Villa specifically. Maybe we could go somewhere else and see some cool creature?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 15:08, October 7, 2019 (UTC) "Maybe. It would be fun. But I'd be willing to bet Melinda's wedding will trump a vacation."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 15:51, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd shrug. "Maybe we could do both?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 15:55, October 7, 2019 (UTC) "Maybe." But he doubted it.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 16:08, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd ride with him for a few seconds before speaking again. "So, if you could pick anywhere we could go this summer where would you pick?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:08, October 7, 2019 (UTC) "Romania," he said without missing a beat. "But only because I'd love to go back to the dragon sanctuary."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:16, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod slowly. "Would we...have to have Aunt Melinda for that?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:20, October 7, 2019 (UTC) "Probably. But you asked if I picked anywhere... and that's where I'd go."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:27, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Alright...how about a second choice where we could go with just our family?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:29, October 7, 2019 (UTC) He shrugged. "I don't know. There's lots of cool animals in Australia."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:34, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "Yeah, there are. Maybe we can talk Mom and Dad into an Australia trip."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 19:01, October 7, 2019 (UTC) He frowned. "Talk them into it. That... doesn't sound overly respectful. If they say no, or there's no time... they know best."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 21:06, October 7, 2019 (UTC) She'd roll her eyes. "Talk them into it as mention it would be a cool family experience and a lot of fun. Obviously I don't expect to be able to change their minds if they decide it's a "No" but it can't hurt to ask."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 21:12, October 7, 2019 (UTC) He nodded slowly, clearly thinking it over. It was kind of a big ask...

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 12:30, October 8, 2019 (UTC) She'd smile. "So what sort of creatures are in Australia?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 16:55, October 16, 2019 (UTC) "Billywigs," he said with a grin. "Ramora, maybe."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:05, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "They'd be cool to try to see."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:08, October 16, 2019 (UTC) He nodded. "So are you going to go for Prefect again?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:11, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. "I'll apply for that and Quidditch Captain...mostly since our last Captain graduated hit last year and I think everyone else on the team was younger than me. Hopefully I'll get one or the other."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:13, October 16, 2019 (UTC) He nodded. "Is there one you want more? You always said you were just doing Quidditch for fun, not... for serious."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:18, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd consider that. "I think I like prefect better but I want to make sure our Quidditch Team does well and...if I'm the most qualified person for that I think I'd make a bigger impact there." She'd shrug. "I'm sure our Head of House will make the right choice."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:22, October 16, 2019 (UTC)~ She talked about these... high positions of power so nonchalantly. It was strange for him. Like they were just... hers for the taking. "Do we get... stuff like that more easily because of who our parents are?" he asked.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:28, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd frown a little confused. "I...don't think so? I mean Dad...and I think Mom too both taught at Hogwarts but almost all the staff is newer so I don't think anyone would know them...and even if they did I don't think they'd generally do that sort of thing." She'd pause and look over at him. "Why?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:29, October 16, 2019 (UTC) "You just seem to talk about these positions like... you assume they're yours for the taking. You got Prefect as a fourth year I mean... I know Dad's a pretty influential guy. I guess... I wonder if I should just be expecting this stuff the way you do."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:36, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd frown. "How do I seem to be...expecting anything? I didn't expect to get Prefect last year? I applied for both this year...but I think I said hopefully I get one or the other. I don't think there's any guarantee I'll get either of them...so I'm not sure why you think I expect that?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:42, October 16, 2019 (UTC) "You got Prefect as a fourth year. You talked about being the most qualified... but don't you think they'd give the position to an older year, even if they hadn't been on the team as long? Those titles go to... older students, right? People who have less time to enjoy them, when you could always go for it another year?" OOC: Did you see my owl?

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 17:51, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd continue to frown. "I...assume I got prefect because I was the most qualified student that my Head of House thought would be willing to help at least last year. That might be true this year. As for Quidditch Captain I applied because I was the oldest student on the team other than the Captain last year...but maybe that won't be true this year or someone else will be a better captain that I will." She'd pause. "I don't necessarily think those jobs go to older students but the ones who the Heads of House think will be good doing them?" OOC: I did...but I haven't had time to respond. I don't know is the short answer.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 17:55, October 16, 2019 (UTC) "Which you... clearly think you are?" he asked. "Why?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:00, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She still seemed confused. "For prefect...because I was last year? Unless there's someone at school who wasn't there last year, why would that change? For Quidditch...I don't know that. I just happen to be the oldest student from last year's team." She'd pause. "I don't...understand what I'm missing. It seems pretty straightforward to me."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:02, October 16, 2019 (UTC)~ "You just don't seem to... doubt yourself at all, I guess."

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:06, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd try to work out what his real point was. "I guess that's just because...I'm fine with whatever the result is? I see being a Prefect or Quidditch Captain as opportunities to help younger or less experienced students...but if I don't get the positions it means there's someone else who's better equipped or more willing to do that which I think it great."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:09, October 16, 2019 (UTC)~ He nodded slowly. "But... what if it goes to someone who's not? I mean... look at the government right now." OOC: Since this RP happened started before the end of the expansion.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:14, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd shrug. "That's not my call...all I can do is continue doing what I feel I need to do and helping people the best I can regardless. If I do get the position it better enables me to do that. If not, it doesn't mean I can just ignore everyone else or be a jerk."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:16, October 16, 2019 (UTC) "You think that... just looking after yourself, and letting everyone else just... be... makes you a jerk?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:23, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd speak slowly. "I said OR. It doesn't mean I can ignore people OR be a jerk...but I think that ignoring people at the least can seem unfriendly and if you deliberately ignore someone who need help...yeah that's sort of a jerk thing to do."

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:49, October 16, 2019 (UTC) "Well yeah," he said quickly before falling silent, thinking things over.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:52, October 16, 2019 (UTC) Jonathan was just so different than she was. She was having a lot of trouble relating and wondered if he was having the same issue understanding her.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 18:57, October 16, 2019 (UTC)~ They'd made their way around the gardens by now. "Ready to head back?"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 18:59, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd nod. She'd pause then give a competitive grin. "Want to race?"

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 19:02, October 16, 2019 (UTC)~ He grinned and kicked his horse in the hindquarters without another word. His horse lurched forward into a canter.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:04, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd do the same just a moment behind and get her own horse moving.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 19:08, October 16, 2019 (UTC) He urged his horse forward, easily navigating the corners of the garden.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 19:10, October 16, 2019 (UTC) She'd be right behind him, steering her own horse nearly as skillfully. She hoped during the last open area she'd be able to sprint past him since these corners were a bad place to try to get past.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 19:11, October 16, 2019 (UTC)~ He reached the open area just ahead of his sister and urged his horse more and more forward, not taking time to look behind him.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 12:13, October 17, 2019 (UTC) She'd do the same urging her own horse forward into a gallop across the open area and manage to gain a little on Jonathan.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 12:20, October 17, 2019 (UTC) He could hear her horse gaining and he kicked his feet a few times. "Go, go, go!"

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 12:30, October 17, 2019 (UTC) She was surprised Jonathan was giving this so much effort and genuinely seemed to want to win so she'd pause for a moment then stop pushing her own horse quite as hard and Jonathan would pull away a little, making it to the end first.

Jonathan Prince Sixth Year Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff Prefect -Son of Ash and Charity Prince  – 14:42, October 17, 2019 (UTC) He was a bit out of breath as he turned around with a triumphant grin.

Aria Joy Prince - Graduated Gryffindor - Herbology Professor Send Me an Owl! - 14:47, October 17, 2019 (UTC) She'd also be breathing hard. She'd smile at him and give him a little nod acknowledging his victory.
