Purley, London

"Yes, I just need to think this through..."

OOC Oh yes, do that in the place knee deep in psychopaths...

OOC: Which will soon gain another...

IC: "Ok. I just need a minue to clean this mess up..." I flick my wand and mutter, "Reparo."

-I help out.- "Reparor!"

When the windows are fixed and everything looks as it should, I search my pocket for the front door key.

OOC: I swear, they've been there around two days, but it's been about a month IRL time... O.o

OOC Holy shit you're right...

IC

-I wait for her to find her keys-

OOC: Longest. Two days. Ever.

IC: I take them out of my pocket and head outside.

OOC Did Eugene and Phoenix go through a worm hole of slow moving time?

IC

-I walk out with her.-

OOC: Maybe. That could be part of Purley's charm. "Spend just one day here and miss the rest of your life!"

IC: I lock the door and put the key back in my pocket. "That'll keep the muggles out, at least."

"I'm sorry everything got ruined, birdie..."

OOC I can see a travel agent making good money off that slogan...

OOC: So can I. What a seller that would be...

IC: "It's not a problem... we can always come back to Purley another time, when there's less going on..."

OOC 'Looking for the perfect place to retire and enjoy the sun sets with the one you love? Come to Purley..."

"Purley, your eternity in a week..."

IC

"Yeah, when there's no shocking revelations!"

OOC: "Purley, the REAL Neverland!"

IC: "It's not going anywhere. Just let me know beforehand, so I can owl my parents about it."

OOC ROFL!! And be sure to vote for Mayor Peter Pan!

IC

"Okay, we may need to soon..."

OOC: Make sure to adopt your own crocodile, complete with alarm clock!

IC: I nod. "Yeah. Anyway... shall we get going?"

OOC And our neighborhood watch committeee could use some more volunteers to handle the pirate problem..

IC

"Yeah, I guess so..." -So many questions to answer. Who was my mother, why was I lied to?-

OOC: Be careful of the mermaids, too.

IC: I offer him my hand.

OOC And help us find a home for our Lost Boys

IC

-I take it.-

OOC: You can do all this at Purley!
xD Purley sounds like a theme park now.

IC: I apparate back to Hogwarts.

Purley... welcome home..

-Sniggers-
xD I'll never see Purley the same way again now

No you will not lol

It'll only ever be Neverland to me now...

Just a short trip away from Hogwarts... just long enough to see if my idea will work.

Instead of going into the bungalow, I walk into the woods around Purley, following the path I remember to the spot. Soon enough, I spot the small clearing with a small, old shed in the centre. For this to work, I'll have to fix it up a bit, but that shouldn't be a problem.

I unlock it and enter. Inside, there is a gaping hole in the ground, with steps leading down into it. I flick on the torch I brought with me and cautiously make my way down them, deciding to add some form of lighting to the list of things I need to do.

At the bottom, I shine the light of the torch around the room. It's large and empty, with a doorway leading into a second, smaller room. I know from exploring it in my childhood that there's an even smaller room off from that.

I turn on the spot, picturing what I have planned in my head. If I wanted to add any more rooms to it, or space, that wouldn't be a problem; magic can easily do that.

Smiling, I go back up the steps, lock the door to the shed, and disapparate.

It's perfect.

It's nice to get away from the castle for a while, even if it's just to do some work. It should clear my head somewhat and distract me from the aftermath of the battle.

I start work on the main room and the door.

After a few attempts, I manage to focus enough to place an Undetectable Extension charm on the whole place, to give it some more space. I perform a series of spells to make the door open automatically if a wolf was trapped inside; it would be better to prepare for any eventuality. I use a few other spells, mostly security spells, like the ones that are on Purley's border.

There. I'll have to start bringing the appropriate furniture in soon. It shouldn't be too difficult to set it all up.

Finally finished. Several weeks too early, sure, but still. It's helped to distract me the past few days, and I didn't know when I was going to get another opportunity to finish it all. I make sure it's secure before I leave.
