An ADMM Role Play Thread

[doctormadwoman]

All right, I am hoping that this will be a very fruitful thread and will lead to many more Role Plays or Round Robins. Being an insane teenaged female I'd think that this thread would lean toward a 'Humor/Action' sort of thing. Anyone may change this at will, but they must make the change make sense. No out of the blue, randomness. Given that my friends and family tell me that I have...uh...let us say an ADVANCED sense of humor, I'd rate this PG 13, to be safe.
Summary: All of the order members are feeling over worked, especially Albus and Minerva. So a few special people, claiming 'honorary membership' to the Order liven things up a bit with some music, snacks, and...wizarding video games??


Minerva McGonagall slumped back into the pillows of the couch she was sitting on in the drawing room of number 12 Grimmauld Place. She looked like she'd trudged through Hell and back, to be frank. None of her co-workers were much better, really.
Tonks had passed out in a motheaten armchair, Arthur was sitting by the fire place, glaring at a report he was writing up, and Albus was sitting by Minerva, looking as care worn as could be. Suddenly, the door of the drawing room blew open, and Fred (or is it George?) Weasley charged in, excitement written all over his face.
"You will NOT believe this!! A couple of girls walked in, and they say they're going to throw a house party!!" he shouted, earning him glares from all the other people in the room. Minerva sat up.
"MR. Weasley, KINDLY keep your teenaged imagination under control! We're tying to relax here!!!" she snapped.
"I'm telling ya, woman, there are a pair of bloody women down there, making threats of a house party! HERE! At the Head Quarters!!!" he snapped back.
As if on cue, a pair of girls dressed in red robes marched in, a massive herd of boxes floating behind them.
"Thank you, Fred, for that BRILLIANT introduction..."said the one with glasses.
Minerva and Albus exchanged a look.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Albus..." Minerva said.
She got no responce.
"Albus??" she said. Turning, the witch saw that Albus was rooting through the boxes, putting on absured party hats and examining a small, black, flat box with the letters 'PS2' stamped on it. Minerva slapped her head with her hand.

Anyone who wishes to continue may do so.

"Look Minerva!" He said brightly. "I believe that this is a video game player!"

"What in Merlin's name is a video game?!" She retorted angrily, hands on her hips.

"It's a game with, um, moving pictures that are controlled by one of these thingies," said one girl, holding up a PS2 controller as she flicked her dirty blonde hair over one shoulder.

"Yeah," the other agreed. "They're real fun."

Albus put on a hat that looked very much like Minerva's own. "What do you think, Minerva?" He asked, modeling it for her. She snatched it up and hissed,

"I think that you had better stick to the stars and moons, Albus Dumbledore!"

Everyone was surprised at her respons, Minerva knew very well what this was... her neice had one. She had played it with her hundreds of times. Now it was time to show her stuff, er... so to speak.

"Minerva," Albus looked across at her. "You know how to play?"
"Yes, sadly I do.", she said while fixing the game to the t.v. she had produced.
"May I join you?" He asked smiling. This was going to be fun!
"Certainly, sit." She snapped, time to teach an old dog a new trick.

Once they'd set it up. Minerva and Albus prepared to play.

"Nows your chance to learn a few things Albus" She said to husband as he struggled to find the correct buttons.

"In your dreams dear Minnie" He said with a chuckle. Minervas face turned red

"Don't call me that Albus" She said with a flamed look in her eyes. The room brightened as the Tv screen started to load. The others in the room watched intently as Minerva and Albus waited for the game to begin

[gmshed]

Seven hours later, everyone was slumped in their chairs, deeply asleep. They stirred slightly as one of the figures sat in front of the television gave a loud victory cry.
"Gloating is unseemly in a lady, dear."
"I won! I won! Again! Give up?"
"Never!"
"You won't beat me."
"The six hundredth and forty second time is the charm!"
"You said that about our chess matches."
"I did beat you."
"It took you four years."
"If that is what it will take..."
The two figures hunched over their controllers again.

[thecatsmeow]

Harry looked up to see the two Professors still at it. "God their crazy.." he then dropped back to sleep. Minerva had just won her six hundredth forty third game in a row, her arms where tired, her hands hurt, her back ached but Albus didn't quiet so neither would she.
"Minerva how did you get so- oh I thought I would kill it! I mean how did you ever get so good?"
"You remember CeCe my niece? She has one of these things and sense she is my only niece I play this thing every time I see her. She's a pro at it, better than me."
"I find that hard to believe- oh dear. What happened?"
"We completed the game.. I was having such fun too."
"Beating me?"
"Well yes it brings me so much joy-"
"I think I know what we can do know. Oh your not tired are you?"
"Surprisingly no I'm not, why?" Albus took out his wand...

[gryffindorprincess]

He slowly tapped the box and it reset to level one again. " Let's play again. If your up to it?" Minerva gave him her usual ( anytime ) glare.
" Of course I'm up to it let's go." The two started playing again. By now the sun had come up. Harry was the first one to wake up. He slowly got up and walked over to Minerva and Albus.
" Are you two still at it. You have been playing for hours." Minerva just shot him her ( don't mess with me look.)
" Yes we are is there a problem Mr. Potter." " No Professor, it's just I have never seen anyone who could play that long."
" It's a gift Mr. Potter." The two continued for a couple more hours until, Molly Wealsey came down and realized they had been up all night. She was furious.....

[mmadforever]

Molly marched over to the professors. Took out her wand and pointed it at the PS2, it automatically turned off."Why the bloody hell would you two stay up all night to play that silly game!? you are acting like children!"Harry decided he should leave, now, and almost ran out the door to find Hermione and Ron.When Harry walked out the door Minerva stood up and glared at Molly before speaking through her teeth. "We were only having some fun."Albus stood up next and put his arm around Minerva's waist, this made Minerva freeze, to stop her from attacking Molly and calmly spoke to the two of them, "Minerva, dear, Molly is right. I think it is time for us to give up for now. Molly," He turned his head to face her, "Minerva and I apologize and should get, at least, a few hours of sleep."Molly's face went back to her normal color, instead of the flaming red, and nodded her head before saying, "Fine. You two may sleep in the spare bedrooms for a while, but remember we have a meeting at ten this morning." Molly headed toward the door, but before leaving she said, " And don't even think about sneaking down her to lay more video games!""I can assure you Molly that we will try not to."

The short nap that the Professors managed to catch before the meeting did naught but make the two of them even more short tempered and on edge.

Alastor Moody was opperating the meeting in the living room that day, which presented quite the problem for Albus and Minerva.

It was actually a much larger problem than was reasonable. It can be said of both of them, at least, that they knew this.

Albus knew Alastor was talking... something important... something about a nest of death eaters... the word 'Scotland' was thrown around a bit...

But all Albus could really think about was the PS2. Unconsiously he began rocking back and forth, gazing at the machine longingly.

Minerva, for her part, at the very least was able to control the rocking. It was kept to a minium for her. She was also able to identify that the two girls who had originally come to start a house party had failed in their task and must have left sometime in the night.

Albus began muttering incoherent nonsense as he rocked. Something about 'battle' 'kill it' and then 'video game'.

Minerva began to twitch as the meeting went on.

They both broke out in a cold sweat, perpetually eyeing the PS2.

Finally, the meeting was over.
