Taboo ( Open )

[Tamika Parker]

Where it not for being able to apparate Tamika did not know how she might have been able to survive living in such a dull and disgustingly Muggle village. Ianto of course was out, he seemed to take all sorts of pleasure in never being home for which Tamika was glad to have him out of her hair for a few hours so she could read the latest package to arrive from her writing circle, where it not for the monthly roll of parchment containing the latest volumes of 'Cassia the Muggle', 'The Dark Lords Servant' and of course her favourite, the feedback for her last piece 'Tamsal Blackhorn and the Plauge Infested Vermin' which had proved to be quite popular for it's chilling account of revenge against a unsuspecting party of Muggles and creatures alike. Stretched out on her bed she let out a little cackle of glee, proud of the way her friends had said her writing had improved while on her holiday. If only they knew the truth! Why they would not believe at all that she, Tamika Parker had visited a Muggle House and would indeed be living in one if she had not put her foot down and made 'improvements' to this place her brother had insisted on inhabiting.

Reading all the material took up most of the afternoon and left Tamika with more questions then when she begun. It seemed that the other girls had started reading a new series of 'cult' books about moons.. or nights.. to do with a teenage Muggle who was said to have the power to make vampires sparkle. The girls said it was such a laugh and very romantic and so while Tamika knew that Vampires where nothing but creatures deserving to be killed on sight Tamika was loth to be outside of the circle of what was popular. If it was simply a matter of a Muggle writer Tamika could easily wait for tomorrow where she could purchase a copy after work. Instead she had to think, she had no Muggle money and even her supply of Galleons where very low. How it was that Ianto managed to always seem to have money whenever he wanted baffled poor Tamika completely. Eventually she realised she would have to visit a library, surely Muggles would have such a thing? Tamika rushed to the parlor ( really the lounge room ) and searched for the tome that she had learnt was some kind of summoning book by the way Ianto would use it along with some strange Muggle device to make food arrive to their door. But one could not summon a entire library! Instead Tamika flicked though the pages at random until she eventually came to one that said Library in bold writing. That would do she decided and so half a hour later she had changed into her day clothes and was looking around what she had been told was a Library.

Clearly there was some kind of mistake, there was windows, and newspapers and brightly coloured magazines.. even those strange box contraptions that Muggles seemed so fond of.. 'Television' Ianto had called them and books.. though not as many as she had been expecting. Looking around Tamika realised with horror that the library was infected with old people... and somewhere in the back corner she could hear the sound of children. Like everything else Tamika had come across it seemed that the Muggles had tried to build Libraries and as always gotten it wrong! Unable to admit that she had made a mistake Tamika walked further into the Library only to have a magazine catch her eye for having what looked like Fifi LaRoux on the cover. Picking it up Tamika noticed that the cover changed from 'Cosmic' to 'Low Tide Fly Fishing Weekly, Issue 32' when she turned it from side to side. There must have been a Wizarding section right in front of her eye? But where was it? Tamika was about to give up and head out when she noticed the rest of the writing on the magazine 'How to Make Him do Your Every Desire in 5 Easy Steps(page 12)', 'SEX, a Witches Guide Your Husband Won't Tell You About' blushing deeply Tamika felt all eyes on her as she drew her eyes away from the barely dressed figure of 'France's International Woman of Mystery Exposed' and tried to decide if she should a: flee, b: hide it or what she really wanted to do c:.. read every single word of the magazine and any other ones she could find.

Seb had entered the library he had traveled from his home to warragul so as not to risk his parents finding out he was reading madical texts he would be in a lot of trouble. But he did need to learn about the goblin rebellion so here he was entering the magical section of the library he saw her a very buatiful lady. Holding a magazine she was looking about as if she to were doing something wrong like him.
" hello" seb said as her eyes fell on him entering. " just looking for the history section" seb eyes darted from her to the ground then to the book shelves.
" you didn't see me and I didn't see you" seb said as he went to walk past her in to the book shelves.
Seb hope that he might be able to get away with out getting found out like her.

[Tamika Parker]

After deciding that nobody seemed to be paying her any mind Tamika couldn't help but give in, turning the cover page to discover 12 ways with Pixie Essence and a splended guide to this months fashion wands... wands that while not at all as powerful nor as usual as a genuine hand crafted wand tailored to ones own individial strengths was never the less popular for being rather more.. fancy and attractive then those rather dull lumps of wood. Tamika was just admiring one with a gorgious wrapped snake design when she heard a voice... a young voice.. younger then her anyway which meant that the immediate urge to correct took effect "Good Afternoon" she spoke, emphasising each word so that he might take heed and not be so rude ever again.
Glancing down over her magazine she found a boy with a distressingly messy head of hair. For a moment she thought someone was playing a practical joke on her for he was young.. too young to be anything but a nuance. "As if I would know where such a section is.. why the sign on the door promises a library and yet it is all woefully.. inadequate" Tamika was speaking too loud, a few faces turned her way but she of course was oblivious to anything that did not immediately consist of herself. Watching the boy she decided that had they been at Hogwarts he was bound to be a Hufflepuff.. the most useless of houses which was perfectly fitting that her brother had been chosen by the hat to be dumped there. Shameful and embarrassing as it had been at least there he could not interfere with her own rise to the house of Slytherin, the only house deserving of respect in Tamika's eyes. Tamika returned to ignoring the boy but then he said something that completely shocked her. "I'm sorry.. are you threatening me? You welp of a! .." Tamika turned on the boy thinking that he was trying to blackmail her, if only he was not a Muggle why she'd curse him so... slowly it came to mind that people where staring, Tamika didn't know what to do, she couldn't leave without getting what she had come for and certainly wasn't going to leave because of some Muggle BRAT thinking he could just do whatever he wanted.

[Sebastian Swanson]

Seb was sure the woman thought that he had mistaken her for the Liberian jut as he was about to apologise he noted that a large number of faces were turned there way and then she continued about his threading her
"I'm sorry miss I never meant to offend you. I was just saying that you looked uncofterble here like me that all" Seb hope that made cents to the clearly easily confused lady. she was a strangely dress and strangely spoken lady she spoke like she belonged in the 18 hundreds.
"My family dose not approve of me being in the kind of place and i would hate for them to know is all i was saying" Seb felt the need to make sure she understood him so as not to create more of a scean in the library so no one calla cop.
seb suffer his hand in to the front pockets of his jeans
" I dint think you worked here if that what got you so upset i sorry. madam" Seb felt it would just be easier to clear up all the problems from before.
Seb just need to clam down before he ran out of the library and on to the train back to the city but he rally need to read up on the goblin rebellion and hopefully the transfiguration text book and may be potions to before start of next class in italy.

[GuestGuest]

Ethan was having a good day at work. A really good day at the Warrugal Library, though any day spent in a library was usually good for Ethan. As a matter of fact, there were only a very few bad days that the man could ever remember having in any library in his life. One of those few days involved a man with the last name of Parker. It was not so much because of the man himself, it just happened to be the day someone accidentally gave him white willow bark, the basic ingredient of aspirin, a substance that Ethan was rather allergic to. Oddly enough, this day could very possibly go down hill into the realms of those other very few days and, just as oddly enough, it was about to involve a young lady named Parker, yes a relation to the aforementioned Parker.

In the meantime, Ethan was going about his work, shelving new books that had arrived and he had finished entering into the inventory, blissfully unaware of the possible impending doom. Until he turned the corner and entered the charmed archway into the magical sector of the library and heard a voice that was a 'blast from the past', his tour of duty as a librarian at Hogwarts past. "Tamika Parker, you find any library woefully inadequate that doesn't have ninety percent romance novels and ten percent biographies of one Draco Malfoy," Ethan broke in, before addressing the young man who seemed to be searching for the history section based on what Ethan had heard as he entered the section that was charmed to be visible only to Ethan, staff and volunteers who were authorized to work in that section and anyone who was a member of the wizarding community. "And she wouldn't know a history book if it jumped out and cast a spell on her. I am guessing you wish to find wizarding history?" he asked.

[Tamika Parker]

Tamika still had her mouth hanging open, caught half way in telling off the boy only for him to point out what she guessed everyone knew all along, she didn't belong here. "Oh.." looking down at her fingers she didn't apologise but glanced up when the boy explained that his family didn't approve of the library, Tamika nodded "Yes, that I can understand" Quietly she looked the boy up and down rearranging her little view of the world to fit some manner of pity for the boy being forced to use this disgrace of a library, why she bet that there was not a single decent Magical Library in this entire country! For a moment she even allowed herself to feel bad for yelling at the boy.. well until he mentioned her working here.. Tamika was aghast, did she look like someone who worked here? She tried for a awkward little laugh to not hurt the boy's feelings "Oh of course I do not work here, in fact I'm only here because my stupid brother decided that he wanted to live in this area and I find the whole thing most unsuitable" crossing her arms she frowned, her and Ianto had come to some kind of impass where she knew she had to do something and yet if she did cure him of his affliction there would be nothing standing in her way from stepping into the role of Mrs Malachi Azazeal.

If only she could find a way to get Ianto back while also being rid of her prior engagements! "You must be mistaken.." Tamika said forcing a smile "One would have to be of.. well a certain lower class to consider a establishment like this a suitable career" she spoke only to stop abruptly as 'he' appeared like a foul stench on the wind. Tamika hadn't noticed him so much at the party and so it was a shock to find 'The Muggle'. Tamika remembered the big news that Hogwarts was going to get it's first Muggle staff member, it had all been so very hush-hush about who but of course everyone knew everyone and so the young.. otherwise attractive Librarian was a matter of suspicion. 'Filthy Muggle' she thought to herself before staring in abject horror as the Muggle let out her deepest darkest secrets to the entire world at large. It was a wonder she didn't pass out for the rush of blood to her face, deep crimson in withheld rage, "How dare you!" she hissed "..how dare you speak such lies in front of this poor boy.." it was all she could do to stop from cursing the man right here right now, surely her borrowing records where confidential! How dare he speak of them in public when anyone anyone could overhear.

Nor did Tamika appreciate being made the butt of a joke "What would you know you Muggle" she hissed, "everyone knows you only got that job because the gutless Ministry was forced to 'make amends' after the war" she added air quotes, little jabs before crossing her arms "I know my magical history very well thank you, I know that scum like you where not even fit to be servants.. too busy making little wars and running around crying witch at each other to be of any use.. my Father said that we Wizards cut ourselves off out of disgust." No Tamika didn't care who heard her, she was sick of having to keep quite and play nice around these Muggles, Muggles who bred like Weasley's and where so rude and unkempt that it was a wonder they survived at all. "Father says that it's a wonder you have not died out all together for all the trouble your kind has made". Yes why would Tamika need to have borrowed any books when she had perfectly good sources of all information from her friends and family. Reading HA!, no that was something you did to get away from the world, not to fill your head with unwanted facts like the names and dates of birth of every Minister of Magic since the fifteen-hundreds. Nobody cared anyway.

[Sebastian Swanson]

Seb was standing and listen to the woman as she seamed to understand his issue of being in a library she seamed very nice now if just a little snobby. She spoke of her brother as if he was not someone she liked seb wondered what her brother had done when he found out she was a witch. Did they move the family away and hide her away like his family had done to him.
Seb was sure after her comment about lower classes that her family had money but seamed to keep her away from it seb was sure it was her magic that made her treated like this.
It was then that a tall skinny man walked over and begain talking to them well mostly the woman who's names seamed to be tamika Parker. the man seamed to be a bit hard on her.
Seb had herd the name melfoy before but not sure were. " melfoy?" seb repeated after the man.
" I think she is fine ..." before he could fins he specking tamika jumped in and started talking to the man. As she went on seb was sure his first impression was wrong really wrong she was a Muggle hater seb had meat many of them in his years at school she seamed to have learned this way of thi k from her father who sounded like a peace of work.
" muggles aren't like that and if they had cut them selves off then why do muggleborns get to go to school why not just turn them away and let them live a muggles and save us all from this crap" seb said to tamika he really would have liked it if he had been left a Muggle never knowing of his magical blood but no the letterhead come and now his mum and dad hated him.
" I know I would have like it better that way for sure. I rather not know about magical or goblins pure bloods or anything else your kind have" seb crossed his arms seb had completely forgotten he was looking for books now he wanted this witch to know that not all. Muggle brones wanted to be in this magical world or take there jobs or bread with them or even learn magic but they come to get them and bring them in to there world.

At her comeback, denying her love of romance novels and all things Draco Malfoy, including Mr. Malfoy himself, Ethan feigned a look of surprise. "Oh, really? Well, I must have been confusing you with another Slytherin young lady," Ethan said. "I'm sorry. I guess, I'll just go ahead and put those five newly released Gillyweeds & Moons I was holding for you since I saw you at the picnic out on the shelves for others then. Shame, I was going to ask you to read and review the early release of the new Draco Malfoy biography, too, since I got my advance copy this morning." Yes, being a librarian did have it's perks when it came to advance book copies.

Ethan did raise an eyebrow though at the comment about getting the job because of making amends. It wasn't anything he had heard before though so he let it go. But when she brought up her view of Muggle history, Ethan replied with, "Ah, yes. That makes sense and totally explains why wizards named Grindewald and Voldemort started wars on other wizards, including pure bloods. Makes total sense now."

What upset Ethan more, was Seb's comment about wishing he'd never learned he was a wizard. "I'm sorry you feel that way," he told the young man, "But there's so many good things about being a wizard, muggleborn or half or pure blood. It just takes time to learn."

[Tamika Parker]

"Very much mistaken" Tamika said pointedly to the Muggle librarian as she turned her chin up in disdane, she had expected him to be rude and awlful but what she couldn't handle was the man being nice? Oh no certainly not, he probably thought mentioning Gillyweeds and Moons would just get under her skin and everybody knew that Malfoy's biography was not going to be released for another two months and she of course already had hers pre-ordered the day it was announced. "How amusing, like anyone would care to give you a copy of that book, why my Draco would be disgusted to know a filthy Muggle such as yourself would have even been near it" the words had just flown out of her mouth without thinking, her Draco would never stand for this! Smirking as the young boy backed her up Tamika was sure she had a allie.. or at least until he opened his mouth in support of Muggles. What had happened to the world? Once upon a time nobody would have thought that filthy mixed bloods, mudbloods and creatures where suitable candidates to work and study along side real witches like herself.

It was just like father had said, first they came and took your jobs, then they moved into your neighbourhood and bred until all the magic had seeped out into little mixed blood freaks. The boy at least was open to suggestion and Tamika let her scorn grow "It's because of soft headed people like that Dumbledore that insisted on having all the riff-raff brought into our world, why if I had my way they would stay with their people where they belonged" she didn't mention the thought that as to 'where' they belonged was of course subserviant to proper wizards and witches like herself...maybe in a basement or far away where one would not have to deal with them cluttering up the world like they did now. No the fact that they had to live on the outskirts of the world being ruled by laws to 'protect' the Muggles and filth did not sit kindly at all with Tamika. After all how where they expected to be a part of their when they could not even keep their history straight? "Typical Muggle Do you forget that your hero Dumbledore was once a lover to Grindewald and only went against him when his 'precious' little sister got in the way of their plans.. as for Lord Voldermort.. you must be as thick as they say for he was not even a true blood.. half the history books say and where he not there is no doubt in my mind that you would not have the guts to speak his name" No when it came to be a poster child for the revolution it was Draco Malfroy all the way on account of being attractive, misunderstood and more importantly.. pure.

"I believe that nobody who is not born to be a Wizard of a generation of Wizards should be amongst our world" Tamika explained to the young boy. "It's people like him that insist on getting mixed up in what they do not understand and do not belong that means that every year more children are forced to try and become what they are not." To Tamika's mind it was near on a kindness to get rid of all the mixed and impure blood, it was clear that this young boy of unknown breeding was not happy and so she used that for all it was worth to prove her point to The Muggle that people like him did not belong in her world.

[Sebastian Swanson]

Seb was standing listening to Tamika and the librarian argue about the books and Draco melfoy but could not help but agree with her views on muggles in the wizarding world. Inspire of her pure blood loving status
" yep I think your right I mean who gave them the right to walk into my life and say hay your this so now you have to do this. it's crap" seb was was really annoyed at the Muggle as tamika called him for his comments about learning and being good to be a wizard.
" what would you know about being a wizard did so old bloke come to your house onenight and turn your whole world upside down making you a freak and to top it off you have to keep it a secret from everyone you ever know for ever you have to almost disappear from you life and try to understand a world you never knew and could never hope to fit in to. I think If I have to have magic and know about I've been better of as a house elf" seb crossed his arms in a way showing how annoyed he was at the whole wizarding world and all those that support it.
" so yes although I am a 'mud blood' I agree that wizard family should be wizard and Muggle should be muggles we don't belong in your world and most of us know even if we don't want to admit it and now because we know and our families what freaks we really are we can't go back. Wizards that want us here are just selfish and know nothing of what it like otherwise they would have just left us alone" seb was sure his rage was showing and he did not care. 
" so just to let you know and your kinda miss tamika no all of us are out to take over your world what we would really like to to go back to our world hell I settle for your kind to stick me in the back room and forget I was there" seb told tamika " and as for you if you want magic so much you can have mine" seb looked at the library man. 

[GuestGuest]

"Well, all right then," Ethan said as he slid five of the six books in his arms onto the shelving cart just inside the entrance to the magical section. Each of the five was a brand new, not yet opened copy of Gillyweed & Moons newest novels. The sixth book remained in his arms as he turned to face the pair again. "Oh? Really?" he asked, looking a bit over his glasses at the girl. "So I'm not really holding this then?" Ethan added, as he held up the advance copy of Draco's new book.

Ethan sighed as she immediately went on the defense by offensively pointing out Dumbledore's faults. "Yes, he was wrong in his dealings with Grindewald," Ethan agreed. "History did record it that way too. That he made mistakes, but," Ethan continued, "He worked to correct his errors."

It wasn't so much Tamika's constant pureblood attitude that bothered Ethan as much as the new young man's thoughts on being a wizard. "Well, if you don't want to be a wizard, you have options. But just because it is not right for you doesn't make it wrong for other magical muggleborns."

[Tamika Parker]

Difficult as it was to hold her composure as she watched The Muggle place books onto some kind of contraption Tamika felt her chest thump in longing at the characteristic silver crow motif that branded them as Gillyweed & Moons originals. Curse him! Curse him curse him curse him! There was no limit to the angry words she could think of right up until the Muggle turned and Tamika's eyes latched onto the tasteful black cover featuring a profile shot of.... Draco Malfroy.. the real Draco who yes wasn't as handsome nor dashing as Tom Felton but had the perks of being a real pureblood wizard instead of a shameful Muggle. For once Tamika was quiet as she just let her eyes bore holes in the cover willing the stupid Muggle to put the book down and go away. She was a lady and must not let this Muggle know that there was nothing, nothing she wouldn't do to get her hands on that book. Clearly she needed a way to get the book without putting any blame or attention onto herself. Lucky Tamika had a patsy as she smiled ever so sweetly when the young boy .. what was his name? Tamika hadn't been paying attention but now it was of the utmost importance seeing that the boy was agreeing with him.

A smug look of satisfaction lit up Tamika's face as the boy turned on the Muggle, he was right after all that The Muggle was nothing but a imposter, even worse then a Mudblood for at least they had gone to the effort to steal magic from somewhere, not just sat around on their behind and waited for the Ministry of Magic to give them handouts in response to the post-war efforts to pretend all was jolly well sorted out. "I think the boy is quite right, Wizards beget Wizards and that is how it always has been and always should be, if one cannot wield the wand there is no place for them and they should be cut out like a House Elf who can no longer meet the needs of it's master" to Tamika this was a kindness, it was clear to her that the Muggle Librarian was twisted by his envy of her and her young companion. "Your kind would have it said that Muggles.. Muggles where the hero of the second Wizarding War, foolish political correctness is far worse then anything Grindewald ever was charged for".

Two against one was a very attractive statistic to Tamika, she always did enjoy a spot of ganging up on a weaker soul and even better was the possibility of putting her plan in place. ".. and what makes it right for you Mr Muggle? You where not even born into this world and yet here you are taking some good honest Wizards job, why I'm sure there was a heap of others wishing to work at Hogwarts that never even had a chance" Tamika herself would never wish to work there of course, for one work was something that happened to other people and Hogwarts had never quite been the same since the whole unification of the houses thing where Slytherins and Gryffindors where no longer expected to hex each other in the corridors like the good old days. "Maybe he would feel better about being a wizard if he had books that really inspired him to love magic.. rather then those stinky old ones about Goblins.. they are so frightfully boring" Tamika mimed a yawn hoping that The Muggle wouldn't be too daft to take the hint that there was no better writer to inspire a young Wizard then Draco Malfroy... then all she would have to do was steal the book and the stupid boy would be stuck owing the Library all the fines.. it was a flawless plan!

[Sebastian Swanson]

Seb was not liking this's library man he seamed to have no idea what it was like to be hated by everyone and what magic did to him and his family. Once he was the best thing in his family the apple of there eye now he was a freak.
" options you name one that can make my family the way it was before. No you can't because there isn't" Sebastian was really mad at this man if he had had magic if the ministry had invaded his home and change everything them may be he would feel as he did. 
" if you had magic you want rid of it to I would gladly give it to a squib or you, any one but it won't change what has happened it won't give me back my life. So your option are just crap" seb said to the Muggle.
Seb listened to tamika agree with him about everything and about the way muggles were treated like something special since the war. 
" I mean your right it was Dumbledore and he's a pure blood wizard going back like a million year who did all the thinking in the wars so Muggle borns and half bloods could win so what does that say wizard from wizards are better" seb was so sure he made a good point he un folded his arms and gave a sharp nod to tamika. 
Then she tamika bought up a good point what was a magicalless Muggle doing working in a magic world anyways how had he found out about it anyway.
" way are in the magic world... Oh I think I know why your happy about Muggle borns coz you want to be one like whom ever it is in your family that got to be a wizard, don't you" Seb was sure this man was jealousy of magic.
To answer the young ladies statements about books
" I have heard of no wizard or book that could make me like what I am a freak a mud blood that dose not belong" seb said as he crossed his arms again.

[GuestGuest]

Ethan shook his head as he held onto the Draco autobiography and listened to the two young people spout such, in his opinion and probably the opinions of most of his friends in Muggles United, the most depressing comments and thoughts that could be uttered. It seemed that neither of these two learned anything by the mistakes of pure bloods during the second wizarding war. Ethan was thankful that he really did not have much contact with people like that nowadays. He was not going to fight those same old battles of words that resounded often in England during that time.

"I'm so sorry," he said, sadly. "I'm so very sorry for both of you that you feel this is the only way life can be." Ethan than turned and headed back to his office with the advanced copy book, leaving the pair to amuse each other with their vitriolic words.
