Occult Regulation Office: A Mature Wizarding World Anthology

So, how do we approach workplace romanticism? I mean, hooking up is fine, apparently, but what about having an actual relationship? I'm just asking since it'd be interesting to get into the subject given Natalia's past.

Natalia rolled over just in time to notice she was being summoned. The young woman sighed as she turned around again just to rest for a minute longer. She closed her eyes in a feeble attempt to reduce her fatigue, as if it was somehow supposed to help. But the longer she stayed in bed, the more relaxed she became. Eventually, close to within a matter of minutes, she fell asleep again after 3 or 4 hours of being awake due to invading thoughts of the horrible dream she'd had. And now it was back again...

She was once more paralyzed. In this dream, Natalia couldn't move nor see the voice that repeatedly kept mocking her. It's as if she was meant to go through such torture and she was powerless to stop it. The voice eventually became so loud that she had to find a way to stop it. And somehow, she did just that.

"No!"

Natalia opened her eyes, her loud breathing now the only sound she heard. Beads of sweat mixed with the streak of her tears gave the woman somewhat of a rough appearance, and when she realized she was running late, she immediately kicked off the covers and hurried out of bed.

To get ready to meet the others, Natalia put on a black, long-sleeve shirt underneath a pair of denim overalls. She put on some plain, white sneakers before running to the bathroom to splash some water on her face. She attempted to fix her hair, but giving up after mere seconds, decided to just brush her teeth instead. A few minutes later, she was hurrying off to the map room, her eyes still red from crying and her hand feeling rather empty compared to the usual cup she had every morning full of herbal tea.

"Sorry I'm late," she said, attempting to draw as little attention to herself as possible as she walked through the door. It's been a while since she'd had a nightmare and she didn't want to have to play the patient as one or two other members took on the role of the psychologist. Their attempts were appreciated, but not necessary. Not when her problems couldn't be helped.

Sorry guys, I was away for the weekend without access to a computer. Can anyone give me a quick recap so I can have something up very soon?

Partner and I are interested in The Candy Lady, if it's still a possibility.

@Sarcelle Renard

I think Natalia can help with that, if you'd like.

For those unpartnered, let's talk! Likewise, I don't mind being assigned someone.

Might have to postpone my post, gives some people more time to create characters, but I should be able to post it on Saturday evening. I apologise for it all.

@LetMeDoStuff

No worries, take your time! RL will always be more important.

Biography:

Natalia was born into a rather privileged family in the small island of Puerto Rico. She was an only child, and as such, she had everything she could ever want. Despite such fact, Natalia wasn't the typical rich kid. Her parents taught her respect, tolerance, love, and integrity at a young age, and such teachings stuck with her for years. She admired both of her parents ever since she was young...that is, until her father left her mother, Dania, for a younger woman. Natalia was just 9 when such thing occurred, and needless to say, she was devastated.

Fast forward two years later and Natalia's mother becomes serious with a man she had been dating for some time. Not too long after that, Rick moves into Natalia's home with his son, Lucas. Luckily for Natalia, she went on to Ilvermorny to start her studies soon thereafter. The school was her escape, but whenever she went home, she almost always regretted it. At first, Natalia's claims that Lucas would walk in on her without announcing himself raised some alarms, but Rick's reassurance that no such foolishness ever occurred invalidated the poor girl's pleas for help. Despite the fact that Rick was a Muggle, Lucas was born a Half-Blood who was rather powerful. Natalia was home alone with Lucas for winter break on her 13th birthday when she confronted him one evening after one of his advances. Unfortunately, Lucas overpowered her and she was left immobile before he proceeded to take full advantage of her.

Such memory prompted vicious nightmares; the torment being too much for Natalia to take, and it showed not only in her grades, but in her lack of spirit as well. The change didn't go unnoticed by staff members nor the faculty of the school. They helped Natalia through a fairly new rehabilitate education program. In no time, the girl's grades increased, and she seemed much more happy around campus. Nonetheless, underneath her newfound happiness, the darkness that was her tragedy laid perfectly still, patiently waiting for her to slip up and for everything to come crashing down again. These occurrences of hallucinations and similar schizophrenic symptoms only happened in private, away from the rest of the world, but it has nonetheless been a part of Natalia ever since.

Eventually, the girl graduated with top honors and as a result, received a letter of interest from The Occult Regulation Office. Natalia did not hesitate in accepting, and despite missing her mother--and feeling somewhat guilty for leaving her alone with those two monsters--Natalia looked forward to the journey ahead of her.

- She is a registered animagus taking the form of a porcupine.
