"Myself- the 'darker' half of the Greengrass sisters."[/font]
"Astoria, the 'lighter' half."[/font]
"Theodore, my slightly older cousin, and he'll never let me forget it."[/font]
"And finally, Lysandra, my youngest cousin."[/font]
"My parents and I... obviously my sister managed to escape the picture taking that day."[/font]
"Well- she can't escape ALL pictures. That's her with Father, and I believe the families of his business partners."[/font]
"Out to lunch in Greece during the summer. Lysandra took the picture while I went inside to get our table ready."[/font]

"Taking a small break from work to be entertained by his daughters. I was being quiet as usual but my sister didn't hesitate to talk enough for both of us."[/font]
"He may be married to his work, and spend more time with his lawyers than with us, but it has to be said that Cyril does genuinely care for us. And so it really does upset him to have to deny Tori and I something we want, just because Idylla said 'no'."[/font]
"Shortly before our summer trip to Greece. Father couldn't come, as usual, but he managed to spare a couple of hours with us before we left."[/font]
"I'm not certain what I said that earned such a bright reaction!"[/font]
"Idylla forbid Tori from dressing up for Halloween anymore that year- she tried to plead with Father, but he sided with the she-devil."[/font]
*chuckles* "Not excited to see Blaise arriving to pick me up for a date, about half way through our relationship."[/font]

"Once Miss Nott, now Mrs. Greengrass, my Mother still stands firmly behind her family. She and my Uncle couldn't be closer, and she has taken over the maternal role in my cousins' lives since my Aunt died."[/font]
"Wondering why Tori, Lys and myself stood together laughing at a formal gathering... it was because her make-up looked terrible! But of course no-one told her that."[/font]
"I believe she was trying not to look too amused as Uncle Leander took his bad mood out on us."[/font]
"That's the closest thing to a genuine smile the woman has ever produced in my presence."[/font]
"But this is more often than not the general look on her face, so don't be fooled by the 'almost smile' above."[/font]

"At the Great Hall with Terence, listening to him insist that pumpkin should be banned from the world."[/font]
"Perfecting the role of 'Daddy's Girl' for some of his business partners before a long, boring dinner took place."[/font]
"Wearing the pretty new blue robes Theo bought me on a whim. I think Tori stole it after she saw it..."[/font]
"Idylla was apparently shouting for me- from another part of the Estate. I'm still trying to work out how I was supposed to hear her."[/font]
"With Lucien..." *curious look* "Where were we, again?"[/font]
"Taken by Lysandra- I was rolling my eyes as Idylla and Leander sent an Elf for the fourth time to tell us to hurry up."[/font]
"I'm certain my sister and cousins were the ones responsible for convincing me to wear that hat, and for putting me in such a wonderful mood."[/font]
"Just returning to school after visiting Idylla. It was supposed to be a day with Cyril but he cancelled. I believe Lucien was making the effort to cheer me up, in her own way."[/font]
"Terence had stolen my attention that evening, and much like other times we cross paths, it wasn't unpleasant."[/font]
"Emotionless as I take Idylla's criticisms in silence. She's not the kind of woman to spare your feelings and I'm not the type to display them- it works out for both of us."[/font]
"In Greece this past summer, with my long-time best friend, Bellanca. We keep in touch while we attend school, and visit each other often during breaks."[/font]
"A much more formal picture of my small group of friends in my Mother's native home. From left to right: Dasha, Melina, myself, Bellanca, and Dasha's sister, Desdemona. Looking like the perfect porcelain dolls we're expected to be."[/font]
*glares at Theo!* "Up half the night studying for the OWLs with Lucien, and paying for the lack of sleep the next morning. Apparently my cousin thought it would be funny to take this picture."[/font]
"Last Christmas Eve, as an unwritten rule, my sister and cousins raided my room with dozens of snacks, and the ritual present exchange, while our parents were out at a party. It's become tradition."[/font]
"Meeting a few people at Hogsmeade for a drink, and having a good time judging by the smile."[/font]

"My baby sister, sitting with Father at the living room in our wing of the house."[/font]
"About a year or so ago, listening to the exact reason why Theo forbid her from seeing a boy. It was quite entertaining to anyone listening, really."[/font]
"She really has grown up. Sometimes I don’t know whether that should make me happy, or sad."[/font]
*quiet laugh* "Taking the time out to entertain me after a long evening with our Mother."[/font]
"At the Vasiliki Beach in Greece. It’s not the most popular one but it’s more common for wizards than for muggles- also just has a calming atmosphere."[/font]
"A shopping trip that ended in muggle London- Tori wanted a cappuccino so we made the trip."[/font]
"Idylla insisted on professional photos recently." *rolls eyes*[/font]
"Tori came across a muggle bicycle over the summer, early into our vacation. She rather enjoyed it- until Mother and Uncle saw her, and threw tantrums."[/font]
"Spending a Saturday outside together at school, before the weather got too cold!"[/font]
"At a formal gathering… I believe Deidre Avery was the source of her amusement."[/font]
"Hmm… that just might be my hat. Want to return it sometime soon, dear?"[/font]
"At the Estate, just the two of us talking and enjoying the peace."[/font]
"Theo grew tired of Tori and Lys’ sudden fascination with the camera, so he tried pulling her away from it. When that didn’t work, he chased down his sister and confiscated it." *quiet laugh*[/font]
"Want to know why I automatically blame my sister when my clothes go missing? Just look at her- caught standing in my closet, dressed head to toe in MY clothes."[/font]
"She may be getting older, but she’ll always be my little sister. That’s something that time can’t change."[/font]

"Theodore- that’s how my slightly older cousin usually demands to be addressed. However, I often call him Theo, or Teddy- something he whines about but allows me to get away with it anyway, because he loves me."[/font]
"I wanted a picture while walking through Hogsmeade last year. Don’t ask me who the man creeping in the background was- I swear he was stalking us for a while until Theo snapped at him to get far away from us."[/font]
"After taking a swim at the lake- I was teasing him over something silly and so he refused to smile, or even look at me."[/font]
"Being his usual charming self! Though I admit I’m no nicer when other people are around."[/font]
*chuckles* "Well- he isn’t the only one capable of chasing dates away. Tori, Lys, and I are sometimes in the mood and let’s be honest, he can do better than Tracey Davis!"[/font]
"Rather annoyed after Idylla insisted he cut his hair. Obviously, he lost the battle, and complained to me afterward."[/font]
"Taken in Greece, the morning he and I got up early and left before Mother got up- and took our unfortunate sisters shopping with her."[/font]
"Taking on the role of the overbearing big brother when I didn’t feel like eating breakfast!"[/font]
"In Herbology, and giving me quite a dry look when I insisted he should be the one to battle a dumb plant for the pod we needed. He wasn’t thrilled but he did it for me regardless."[/font]
"Out shopping for an evening. He might complain but he always comes with me when I ask."[/font]

"Lys doesn't particularly enjoy getting her picture taken but she agrees to it if only to amuse the rest of us, I suppose."[/font]
"All dressed up for a party none of us wanted to attend. But, Mother insisted on it, and so there we were."[/font]
"Trying to mimic my own expression... I have to admit she did well enough at it."[/font]
*soft laugh* "Simply enjoying my cousin's company. We may both be the quiet ones but that doesn't mean we don't have our moments."[/font]
"One of those nights when we were all just acting silly- I believe Theo wrapped Lys in a blanket, and she couldn't manage to get out of it for several minutes."[/font]
"The great thing about having Theo as family, is that he's easily persuaded by even the smallest amount of pouting- something his sister knows all too well!"[/font]
"Stealing a smile from Lysandra as we talked about Divination- a subject I enjoy, to seemingly everyone's entertainment."[/font]
"In Greece- after attending a formal gathering, we were all pretty exhausted!"[/font]
"Out in Hogsmeade, on our way to meet our siblings for lunch."[/font]
"Talking after my Mother decided to be her usual charming self- neither of us were in wonderful moods after that."[/font]

"Working on a group project for Potions- I was on Lucien’s right, while her sister was on her left- unintentionally dressed the same as her."[/font]
"Looking rather formal… possibly taken during the Ball in fourth year."[/font]
"Our friendship is not a perfect one but this is proof that every so often we’re both willing to just let go and talk normally."[/font]
"Last year, right before the summer holidays began- simply sitting outside and enjoying the end of exams."[/font]
"In Hogsmeade, rather recently. It was all we could do to avoid our brain-dead roommates."[/font]
"I’m not certain where she had gone, but she was in less than perfect health when she returned. I admit I was a little concerned for her."[/font]
"Second year- right after Professor Snape made a fool out of that dolt Lockhart at the Dueling Club."[/font]
"At another formal school function- I think she was amused because for a moment I mistook her for her twin."[/font]
"Despite all I still call Lucien a friend… I suppose only time will tell if that will last."[/font]

"Terence, walking back toward the castle with me late one night. I believe we were having our never ending argument over which one of us will one day rule the world!"[/font]
*quiet laugh* "I threw a pile of leaves and such at him, and as you can see he missed one as he was picking them out."[/font]
"Striking a pose for my entertainment, in the Common Room after classes."[/font]
"Oh dear! Someone is throwing a temper tantrum! *chuckles* No- he was just making a face at me when I messed up his oh so luxurious hair!"[/font]
"Just talking- in all truth it’s rather nice to be able to hold conversations with him, unlike about 98% of our classmates."[/font]
"Walking around the grounds after running into each other, we were fortunate to find a nice little spot to sit away from everyone else."[/font]
"Recently, in Hogsmeade- following a night he chose to drink with Rosier!"[/font]
"Walking aimlessly around, early on a weekend and as usual when we happen to find moments together we couldn’t help but tease each other."[/font]
*laughs* "I told him he reminded me of a bear with all that ‘fur’ on his face and head- he didn’t laugh but it was clear he wanted to!"[/font]
"Outside during lunch, and trying to get me to ‘admit’ that I find him charming and handsome!"[/font]
