Scrimgeour - Round 2

Ok Jennifer, let me explain this to you one more time. You are a muggle! I am a wizard. I was brought here to examine what is going on in the muggle world.

There are three of us who came here. Narcissa, myself, and Lucious. We drank a potion that aged us back. We were adults and now we aren't. Simple really.

We have been hearing the rumors for years. About the 'space aliens', you see. We know there are no aliens. It is just the wizard world messing with you muggles.

Poker? This is not poker, this is a form of brain washing. We get you to come over and play for hours while we sit inside and read your thoughts.

To keep people from really noticing us, Narcissa decided it was time to grow into a teen.

Here she is now. I don't understand why she talks about having kids with Muggles, but we will make sure her husband is suitable for her. I think her potion was a little too strong and she is forgetting our mission.

You want to know who we think the aliens are? Let me tell you, it is the Great Wizard Snape! He likes to experiment on muggles. He was once a professor at the wizard school Hogswarts, but something bad happened there.

You see, you buy it, they will come. The more items we add to the store, the more visitors we are getting. They really love to work out until they smell. We did buy some snapdragon plants at the Busto's outdoor store.

Night after night we searched the stars for Snape. We knew he would come for us. We really want to know how he can enlighten us. Once Narcissa grew up, she joined us out there.

Lydia Potts, what can I say? This muggle is different, truelly. She said she grew from toddler to teen within minutes. All her siblings did. Then they were changed into regular townies. She said she doesn't know how. I do. It was magic, therefore, she is ok to date. Maybe even marry....

How long have we been staring at the stars? Who does Snape choose? Narcissa....Hopefully she will use her female charms to convince him to talk to us. No one knows what happened with us, you see our mission is a secret.

Oh this can not be good at all. There were TONS of visitors at our house when Narcissa was taken. We had to get our wands to try and help them forget about the abduction. I think we missed a few since this was all the neighbors talked about.

Narcissa returned later. Did she tell us about her journey? Nope. She said it was a secret and she refuses to talk. She is becoming more muggle-like every year. She said if we want to know, we have to get abducted. She got all of us into private school. Too bad we leave for Uni tomorrow. She said the headmaster was wrapped around her finger when he left. She only uses her magic for the good of the family.

See the house that magic built? We have done a few updates, but the house is coming along nicely. Nothing like my old house (mansion), but it is working.

Ok Jennifer, do you understand? Why do you look confused? Ok fine, we are not wizards. We just have really long noses. Happy now? Yes, ok then, see you later. {zaps Jennifer with memory spell}

Busto - Round 2

Want to see how my life is now with Howie? My name is Linda, Howie's wife. He wants to own 5 top level businesses. I doubt that is going to work. He just isn't the young pup he once was. Howie's granddaughter, Hedwig, moved out one night and went to Uni. She graduated with Honors and is engaged. She is starting her own house and we will see it later on.

See here? I am in labor! Where is Howie? Is he helping me? No, he is calling to hire employees for his business. Will these employees help me with this baby? Thought not... (baby to be seen later)

Here is Rufus, he is Howie's grandson. He grew into a teen right after I had Chicken George. I see Howie didn't care enough to watch Rufus grow up either. He is greeting our visitors. Life is all about our visitors with him.

Oh, it's two of the Uglacys!! I hope to have their genes in our family! Hopefully I will have a girl to marry these guys. :) Howie was really excited to see them, they were a big addition to our new neighborhood.

Yup, you guessed it, I am pregnant again with Howie's baby. Hopefully he will pay this one more attention to. Here I am with Wanda Brown. She is pregnant also. She said I better hope I am not pregnant during a shift change, it is like being pregnant FOREVER!

Just some of Howie's makeovers. He is getting much better at this.

Well, for the most part he is getting better at this. Then I see one that goes bad and feel sorry for that person.

You take the good with the bad, I say.

Chicken George turned into a toddler. He truelly is his father's son. Howie ran inside to help him grow up. I was taking a nap and he handled everything from teaching to walk to potty training. He really shocked me with the amount of attention he gave our son.

Time for another labor, where is Howie? Out giving another makeover! And is he charging for these makeovers? NO! Freebies!! How do we make money when he gives everything away for free?

I got my sweet little girl, Maggie. Only time will tell what genes she has from Howie.

More makeovers. Yes, that was the desired effect with the blonde guy.

Even Gage Uglacy was willing to get a change.

It's like duck, duck, goose. Good, good, CLOWN!

Howie hired some employees to work at our growing store. Here they are making snapdragons for us. We heard these plants are great to have around.

You must think we are slave drivers or something now. I swear, it was just a short nap. Nothing to see here, keep moving! Pay no attention to the little red ball, it is really green.

Snapdragon Field during the day!

Snapdragons at night! Do I see green mist??? I will take care of that one, hope there aren't many more.

Oops, so sorry Ben. Somehow, this makes your nose look looong! I get it! Ben Long as in Ben Longnose!

Oh, so sorry. Howie was trying to fix it and your hair, um, will grow back. I swear, here have so Simgaine. This is product was tested on Lhamas, it is totally safe!

At least Howie is now getting the hang of this.

Xuan! Doesn't he look great with his new hair? I think so...

All was going well at our house. We were selling snapdragons for cheap, people played poker, employees sleep in our beds, all was good. Then Sunday afternoon, fate stepped in.

(Sigh) Howie died......You would think Xuan would be a little understanding. Howie was there to check out his purchases and then he was gone. Why the negative star? Why???

Roma - Round 2

Look who returned from College!  This is my sister Donatella.  I could not believe it, when I went to bed and she was a teen.  In the morning when I woke up, she had graduated College.  HOW LONG DID I SLEEP???  First thing she did was close our home business.  She said we weren't allowed to have them.  Whatever....we are ROMA's, we have other money sources, if you know what I mean.

She didn't return alone either.  Her high school boyfriend, Risto Cooprider, joined us.  She seems really happy with him around. He has been helpful also, he helped Donatella remodel the house.   I hope they give me a little neice or nephew soon.

What is with his shirt?  He told me Donatella has been acting strange, like she doesn't want to marry him.  So he ran out to get this shirt to remind her that he is worth having around.  I don't understand my sister sometimes, she just wants to work on skills.  All she talked about during high school was Risto, Risto, Risto.

Oops, how did this picture show up??  Risto was showing us this neat little item that can get you skills from others.  He used it to get skills for promotions to show Donatella  what he can bring to us.  All she does now is work on skills.  She said with Risto around she doesn't need to work.  He can do that while she studies.  (sigh)  I hope she doesn't run Risto off, he is such a great guy to have here.  He is like the big brother/father I never had. 

This is my twin brother Guido.  He is just like Donatella.  I bet that showoff maxes his skills before going to Uni.  He would do that too you know.  Just to show off how smart he is compared to me.  So sorry I want friends, skills can wait.

Here I am.  I really am not sure about this hair.  It just doesn't feel right.  Donatella told me to try it for a few days.  Hmmph, whatever, fine.  I try to study some so Donatella doesn't get upset.  She thinks I will have NO scholarships....

Risto spent time talking to his Uni friends for ideas of how to convince Donatella he was worth it.  Too bad most of them are not married yet, their turn hasn't come up.  He felt she just wasn't interested in marriage.  He, on the other hand, has been wanting it since graduation.  Poor guy, he just wants a child.

Money, money, money is all I hear from their room at night.  Donatella thinks she needs more in order to provide for us better.  She is always reminding him it was really hard raising us with no real income coming in.  I swear, there is more than enough for them to add to the family.  She won't be young forever.  I want to be an Uncle....

Here I am with my brother, Guido.  I decided I really did not like that hairstyle.  Being a twin, I felt for now it would be ok to look somewhat like Guido.  Once in College, we must change our looks.  We are best of friends and don't like the same girls, so all is good.  It is wierd, he runs over and checks out all my friends.  There have only been a few that he will talk to.  Normally he just checks them out and then he goes off to study something. 

Side note: GO ASTROS!!!!

FINALLY!!!!  Donatella agreed to get married to Risto!  He was the happiest man at the wedding party.  He doesn't even mind that he had to take our last name, he was just excited that Donatella was ready.  He is even willing to supply medical attention to his new 'relatives' at a discount.

The wedding party was great.  There were new people to meet, dancing, and food.  There is even someone from their college her.  She said she is the 'placeholder' of the greek house. 

One logic point, that is all!  Risto said he had to look at the stars for a little while, nothing would happen.  Umm, that was not the case it seems.  Donatella & Guido were really excited when he returned, they just kept asking question after question.  Poor Risto, wonder answer what he could before he would start crying again.  I just wanted to know if they can be our friends, if so...new friends??  How do I contact them?

Here is a picture of our house at the end of the week
