The Palmers' Place

[Holly Palmers]

Holly's home, affectionately called The Palmers' Place, a nondescript row house along a quiet side street. It had a very sterile, never-lived in feeling, as if in a museum. There are an assortment of muggle artifacts plastered on the walls and in cases; the major pieces include defunct television, several blenders and the use of electricity throughout the house. Although most of the house is a blinding yellow, Holly's room, upstairs and to the second left, has a dark brooding feel to it accented with a random assortment of pink and orange and Slytherin green. Amelie's room is the first on the left and has been unoccupied since summer. Agrippa, the family kneazle, has moved in her room.

*apparates on the top step and turns to Aaron*

Okay, now let your eyes adjust to the wallpaper or else you'll go blind.

*opens the door with her key and pulls Aaron along*

[Aaron Tayllore]

*stumbles in after her*

*blinks* Lovely...

*looks around* Are we alone?

[Holly Palmers]

*throwing her things by the door*

Uh, yea. Parents are in the States making wedding arrangements for my sister.

*eyes go wide*


Oh wait!

*starts to take her shoes off and points towards his*

It's a mum thing, sorry, hope you don't mind.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*slides off his shoes*

S'alright, I understand. I think all mother's are the same.

[Holly Palmers]

*touches him on the shoulder*

Be right back, make yourself at home. It's tacky but far better than the makeshift tent-things they had set up for us at the castle.

*runs through the house flipping switches with her wand and calling for Agrippa*

[Aaron Tayllore]

*kisses her swiftly on the cheek before she runs off, and looks at the motionless and moving pictures on the mantal*

[Holly Palmers]

*can be heard in the kitchen, opening drawers and cursing how her parents could ever figure out a can-opener*

*uses her wand instead to saw the lid off a tin of cat food instead, quite messily however*

*the incessant, annoying meowing stops*

*comes back into the main room to find Aaron, wiping her hands on the front of her shirt*

Lovely, I smell like cat food now.

*pitiful sigh and then a quirky little laugh*

[Aaron Tayllore]

*laughs and walks over to her*

The only thing I can smell is mango perfume... So,

*puts his arm around her shoulders and stears her around, observing the room*

What shall we do now?

[Holly Palmers]

Celebrate our freedom...

*gives him a lingering kiss*

....by making cookies.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*laughs*

You never hesitate to surprise me Holly Palmers.

[Holly Palmers]

What? *she laughed, dragging him into the kitchen and pulling out her wand*

I think everything is a surprise to you.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*raises his eyebrows as he is dragged into the kitchen*

And what, may I ask, is THAT suposed to mean?

[Holly Palmers]

*summoning bowls and mixers from the cupboards, her back to him*

Exactly what you think.

*turns and smiles*

[Aaron Tayllore]

*nods knowingly sarcastically and leans against the counter*

Just tell me what to do then.
