Sleep? What's that? ( Anne / Mercedes )

[shava444444]

Having been nervous about this from the beginning, as she was going to be off with a real wizarding family for the first time, Mercedes followed Anne through the hallway of the old manor house, her eyes already huge. She had met already three ghosts, one named Abraham who seemed to be their butler, one rolling a rock who had given her a wave, and another in some kind of old monks robes who had ignored them completely. Now on the second floor they were heading up another staircase, but there were very few doors which struck her as odd. Where were all the rooms for such a big house?

She had no idea the ghost prevented kids of a certain age from certain parts of the house so only the doors and stairs they were allowed would show to them and if she had she would have been fascinated as well as spooked! "Hey Anne, how big is your house? Cause it feels huge..." Behind her she dragged her overnight bag as this was supposed to be a sleep over, her first in a magic house, very exciting! Her best friend Anne and her family all had weirdly colored hair, but she hardly noticed now after hanging out with her so long.

Wizards and witches were so much more interesting then her own world of muggles.

The appirations to get here had been kind of cool and the fact they broomed across the island to get to an old arch and only then as Anne took her hand across had they been able to see the house. So cool! Her own home was hidden too, but not be magic, that was for sure. Being out in the fields had been eye-opening as well as Mercedes lived in the big city and nothing quite prepared you for being in the great outdoors when you were a city girl. "Do you have pets?" she asked, seeing a cat looking down at her from the top of an old statue as they passed.

Anne was so excited that her best friend in the entire world was coming to stay for a sleep over. It was the first time she was coming over her house and she made sure her room was completely clean even though it was probably going to end up being a mess by the next time tomorrow with playing with toys and everything in her room. She had so many games. She had met Mercedes at the front door after Abraham answered the door. She thanked him and had Mercedes follow her up the stairs. Which Anne’s bedroom had been on the third floor along with Ashlyn’s room.

“I know it’s big isn’t it? We just have so much land. Wait till we go explore later.” She told her friend that was following her from behind. She called downstairs or wherever her mother was letting her know her one friend was here. “MA!” She called out echoing her voice thru the halls. “MERCEDES IS HERE!” She shouted in an exciting voice. “My bedroom is up along the third floor along with Ashlyns. The rest of my siblings are on the second floor!” She said finally reaching the third floor.

“Yes, we have a cat. It’s an egyptian cat. My father has a thing for them. It’s our family pet.” She told her. “We can play with it later. There is so much to do here. What do you want to do first?” She asked her finally reaching Anne’s room. Anne loved her room. She had a thing for everything Princess style! Ever since she had been little she loved all of the fairy tale books that her nanny used to read her before she went to bed.

Anne had a castle for a bed and everything was blue to match her hair color. She didn’t really like the pink too much. She also had a carriage in the corner to play in with some of her dolls that she had. She opened up the door and walked into her room. “So whatcha think? Amazing right?” She said being proud of her room. Anne loved to read so there was a big huge bookshelf near the window with a sitting place to look out while she read.

(OCC: I’ll send you info tomorrow and a description of her room. i have all of the pictures picked out. I need to head to bed though. It’s late.)

Mercedes nodded very impressed about the field itself and wondered if her father had inherited it or just bought the place. And without taking her to see her mother or anything Anne just shouted out loud down a stair as they passed. Putting a hand over her mouth to suppress a giggle, Mercedes had to admit to excitement; she'd never been in a house you could be as loud as you wanted! Her mother always made her keep her voice down and the few friends she had been at were the same. Maybe it was a muggle thing?

"I know you said there were ghosts but I never expected to be introduced to one in the front hall! Do you have them all over?" It had taken awhile to get used to the House ghosts at school, thankfully none of them were like Peeves who was a pain in the rear. She mentioned a cat, but as they came across third floor towards a door, Mercedes saw two more lying in a sunny patch at a window who watched them go past from another hall! Wondering how many creatures there were in this place, she followed her friend into her room.

Which she was very much unprepared for!

In the old manor house she would have never expected to find a real princess like space, but she found her eyes getting wide. The walls looked like real castle walls, especially the huge stained glass window. The doorways had pieces which stuck down giving it a carved look and the bed... "Whoa..." Leaving her bag beside the door she walked in turning around and thought the room was very cool, much better then hers at home! "This is like super cool! Where am I-- where should I put my stuff?"

Without a knock at the door suddenly there was a woman there with the brightest red hair Merc had ever seen! With her eyes popping, Mercedes found herself jaw dropped as the woman came straight over and took her hand, bending down. "Hey, nice to have you. You eat fish, right? She didn't say anything about food. Cake? Pie? It's all good?" Lindsey never cooked so this was a surprise to Anne; supper was often cereal or sandwiches in their house. "Ah...yes." "Good, cause it's already in the oven. Don't mind us, we're all crazy," she said suddenly stepping over and ruffling Anne's hair possessively before cackling softly.

At the look from Anne, she said "Don't worry, Mrs Finchley told me how. We're good." Mrs Finchley was the ghost cook who did know a lot about food, but the idea of her mother following a ghost's instructions from two hundreds years earlier was not encouraging at all!

“I am so super excited about this sleep over Mercedes you have no idea. I mean I talked about it non-stop over the holiday’s that you were coming!” She had explained as they made their way up to her room. “We so have to do this more often when we come home on breaks. It’s going to be a fun time!” She said with a nod.“Just a few, I had a nanny as a ghost when I was little.”Anne laughed at the thought of that being brought up by a ghost nanny. She shook her head and patted one of the cat’s on the mantle’s.

The two girls finally had gotten to Anne’s room which was on the third floor. She loved having privacy when you needed it. Anne couldn’t wait till she saw Mercedes reaction when Anne had swung the door open. Which she was careful because, she had a picture hanging up of friends at school and few with Mercedes as well. “Here let me take your things. We can put them right over here.” She said and picked up her bags for her and walked over to the window seal and put them down. “You like?” She asked her friend before her mother came barging in.

“MA do you mind?” She asked her and tilted her head when she ruffled her daughters hair and tried to bend out of the way. But, it was no use. and looked at her mother oddly when she said she was cooking. “You are cooking you but, you never cook?” She said with a giggle. “Can you make some brownies for later? And some chocolate cake?” Anne was craving some chocolate and she didn’t know why. “I want chocolate.” She told her.

Listening as her friend chattered away in excitement, Mercedes grinned. She had been on one or two with muggle friends in earlier school years, but when Anne had mentioned never having company over she had been quick to volunteer! "Oh it's going to be awesome! We'll stay up all night I bet!" Of course at the others she had to bring a sleeping bag and she'd been told she didn't need one this time so she was curious to see what the set up was going to be. Giving her a startled look, Merc raised her eyebrows.

"You seriously had one for a nanny? Really?" How could a ghost take care of a baby anyway? Curious, but more interested in the room she looked around once they arrived, forgetting about the ghost conversation for the moment. She responded promptly "Oh yes! This is way cooler then my bed at home!" Of course she shared a rather unusual room with her brother, but you couldn't live in an aquarium and have things normal either.

Anne's mom was direct and to the point and Mercedes tried not to giggle at the hair rubbing. She was curious about the no cooking thing. She lightly elbowed Anne giggling adding "Cooking isn't baking silly!" Lindsey laughed and pushed them both together, ruffling both girls' hair as she cackled softly "Ha! Right! I'll send out for some! Now, you going to be okay in here with this nutball, Mercedes?"

Still giggling, Merc nodded, but wondered still where she was sleeping. Anne's bed was big enough, but that wasn't something she was going to jump to conclusions on.

Anne was starting to be really hyper normally what a thirteen year old girl would do with her best friend forever besides her. The blue haired girl gave Mercedes a hug and squeezed her tight. She didn’t want to let her go. She could tell her anything even her deepest darkest secrets. They told each other stories when the two were bored and wanted to keep each other company. She had so many ideas for the two tonight.

“I know, that’s why I have a whole bunch of candy tucked away in my drawer.” She said and giggled pointing over to her one secret stash so her brothers and sisters couldn’t get too it. “It has all of my favorite candy and I made a point to get some of your favorites too since you’d be staying over. This is going to be sooooooooo awesome.” She jumped around and took Mercedes hands and danced in a circle and laughed at her mother when she ruffled her hair. She looked at Mercedes and wondered what her bed was like. But she didn’t want to ask and be rude if it wasn’t as big as hers.

“MAAAAAAAAA Can we build a tent out of blankets tonight. Like camping?” She insisted? “Can we use a lot of the blankets. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?” She gave her a pleaded look and did the puppy dog face and pouted. “OHhhhhhhhhhhh you were talking about baking. I thought you were talking about real food.” She giggled. “Ma never cooks.” She told Mercedes.

Getting hugged, Merc gave equal back, still excited about the evening. Candy? Well the sugar would surely keep them awake! Grabbing hands they danced around a bit causing Mercedes to giggle again and laugh when her mother messed with her daughter's hair. she saw the look and shook her head. "We have one long bedroom with different cabins for each kid, like inside a ship. Bigger then this, but we share the main space."

She giggled again the image in her mind. "We'd drive my brothers nuts," she laughed, not considering it a terrible thing. Her mother rolled her eyes at the pleading and Merc clapped her hands over her mouth at the way Anne called her mother 'ma.' "All right Anne! Merlin--" one got the impression she was about to say something else and cut it off "I'll get Char to come set up a line for you but you have to build it yourself, hear?"

It felt being hair ruffled and pushed together with Anne, as if she was automatically accepted which was kind of cool! So far she was seriously liking the evenings prospects! Hearing her mother never cooked made her flash a questioning look at her friends, but she didn't say anything yet. "Yes Ma'am, it'll be great!" "You can get the stuff later after supper, you all play nice..." and she exited, closing the door behind her. "Tent blankets? What's that about? Like, camping in the woods type of stuff?" She'd never done that before...
