Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world

That line went through Jordan's mind over and over. He had never ruled the world, but he wanted to, in a sense. He wasn't a mad scientist or villain, just a boy with very big hopes. I guess in a sense, in a way he wanted to be able to say that line in the future, if you understand what I'm getting at.

The boy walked up a hill that had was dark green, filled with plants and grass. The hill was pretty steep, and seemed that if you reached the top, you would get to touch the sky. Of course that wasn't true. Jordan's actual destination was a sort of strange one. He was in some undisclosed location actually, but from what he had been shown in the map, compass, and what his father told him he was nearing the Son Doong Caves in Vietnam.

Yes.. What was a sixteen year old, and his friends of same age and younger doing way out in Vietnam? Well.. For an adventure of course. How did he get there? Easy, portkey that his Biological father had left in case he ever needed to go back. Jordan had visited his childhood home, where he and his biological parents lived until his parents were killed by Death Eaters. He had found a hidden office his father had.

It was a room that Jordan had gone into once as a child, and his father told him to never go in there again. But what was the point? They were all dead. The door was hidden by what Jordan can only imagine is the same spell that keeps the Room of Requirement hidden. It took Jordan a while to figure that out, being really trippy about why the door wasn't there anymore.

In there it was his dad's office, filled with maps, objects, and Leonardo Da Vinci like designs. He had studied there a bit and taken one of the maps.

Jordan enlisted the help of his longtime friends Nate, Jonathan, and Isadora. Along with kids whom Jordan had befriended during his time the last three years, and saw them with great potential. He had done mini adventures with these friends his last few years. It had started with him and Nate, then Jonathan had joined in. Eventually they met Isadora. Then Connor who had followed them, and Jordan had felt like he wanted to take the kid under his wing. Along came Brooke too.

Now it was serious, he had taken the portkey his father had hidden and went to Vietnam. Where he would need to reach the Sun Doong Caves, where his father had supposedly hidden his real wand. Claiming that in case of his death, he wanted his son to find it.

"Alright, guys." Jordan said back to his friends. As they reached the top of the hill. He could see the various entrances to the beautiful caves. "We made it."

Jonathan gazed upon the foreign caves. He did not like this at all. He did not like the fact that his crazy friends had dragged him along on this mysterious trip. He could be at home doing his summer assignments or spending time with his muggle mother like he wanted to. He could be spending time with his girlfriend too and having a wonderful summer vacation. But as the old saying goes, "Bros before hoes".

So instead he was here in Vietnam. It was hard enough trying to explain to his mother that he had to leave her to go spend time with his wizard mates. She was more than joyful to hear that he had become so social now, but Jonathan could still recognize the pain in blue eyes. The boy promised her he would return after a couple of days however, and intended on keeping that promise.

He had asked his father about Vietnam considering he had been there before but Jonathan had to have been a baby at the time. His father had describe the country to be very luscious of nature, culture, and beauty, and full of very peculiar things. The wizard community wasn't as big as the UK's or most other European countries, but it was just as unique and powerful in its own way. Jonathan had explained to his father that his friend Jordan had invited him to join him on a trip to Asia along with his other new mates.

His father was more than happy to take him there. He figure it would broaden Jonathan's view on the wizarding world and benefit him greatly. Jonathan on the other hand was not so excited about this. Why exactly did him and his friends always had to do these kind of things? God forbid they get into serious trouble; Jonathan didn't need a criminal record of any kind. Yet here he was, standing on top of a grassy hill, here to help out Jordan just like the rest of his mates.

"Well I will admit it's a great view," Jonathan said. He shoved his hands into his shorts pockets. As beautiful as it way out here, the humidity was unbearable. "But why did you drag us all the way out here, mate?"

How in the world Connor had been invited, he didn't really know. He honestly didn't know very much about Vietnam, nor the Wizarding community found there, and never were there many honorary wizards or witches that he learned about in Hogwarts (not that he wouldn't in the future). But it was the summer, and this was the time for one of his favorite things: adventure. He saw that a few people were going to go to this place, and his parents didn't really give him any kind of restrictions on what he was going to have to do this summer. Heck, he could have even brought his work with him to Vietnam over the summer since it probably wouldn't take that long to do. So, that's what he did. In a simple backpack, he packed clothes, books, and a few snacks so he could eat whenever he wanted - he didn't know what the food was like over there.

By use of the portkey that he was told to find, he had to have an adult with him so he could use it properly, he found himself traveling and spinning through space it felt like, to get to his cross-continent destination. There he found the people he was wanting to adventure with, and greeted them with a smile. "Hi, guys!!"

It had only taken a short while to get from Hong Kong where Isadora’s grandfather had been entreating with his business associates to Vietnam where she was due to meet her friends in a few days’ time. Prior to that, she and Lucius had spent a while in Hanoi, getting a flavour of the country that they had neglected in past years – mostly due to her grandmother’s intolerance for the Asian humidity. Nevertheless, despite the frizzy hair and, already, a pink tinge to her skin which was indicative of sunburn, Isadora Malfoy was quite glad to be in Vietnam and eagerly awaited the day she could spend exploring with her friends.

Apparation was her preferred method of travel, albeit side-along with the help of her grandfather. After kissing him goodbye and running through her list of things to remember she righted her sunhat on her head and hurried up the hill, a strange spring in her step and a bemused smile on her face as the long grass reached up to paw at her legs as she passed. She was desperate, she realised, to see what was in purportedly the largest cave in the world, for that was their destination, if the coordinates were saying anything. Isadora suspected there were far larger ones under the surface of the ocean but until such times as anyone deigned to look, no one would know. No, this for now would do and, with her phrase book in one hand, her map tucked under her arm, she came upon the boys who had already gathered.

“Hello,” she greeted them brightly, sidling to stand beside Jordan.

A smirk drifted across the Malfoy woman’s features as she looked at Jonathon. Isadora could sense the restlessness in him and she wondered whether it was the fact that Jordan had been a little bit brief with the details or whether it was because he could have been off somewhere else with Sierra. Isadora couldn’t find it within her to blame him either way but she couldn’t help but pass him a pointed look, mirth sparkling in her gaze. Hugging her book and map to her, Isadora smiled brightly at Connor who joined them next before turning to Jordan, fixing him with a somewhat imploring stare.

“Tell me we get to see the caves,” she begged of him, her smirk turning into a wide smile.

After much convincing, Brooke was here with her friends in Vietnam. Standing beside Isadora Brooke looked at the sight in front of her and gasped. " It was a beautiful view, and their were tons of caves around them. " Are we going to go cave exploring?"Brooke asked. " Please tell me that we are!"said Brooke not able to hide her excitement any longer.

"Who cares, as long as their cave exploring I don't care why I'm here!"said Brooke. " My dad told me all about here, he said the caves are amazing!"said Brooke. Looking around, Brooke seen Nate wasn't here. " Hey where's Nate at?"Brooke asked them curiously. Out of the whole crew, she was closer to Nate and Isadora.

"Everyone by the way, sorry I didn't say hi before I'm just excited!"said Brooke happily. Brooke couldn't control her excitement, she never really got to go places unless it was with her father. It was a bit weird her father not being here by her side right now. She wore he put a protecting spell on her to keep her safe. She didn't blame him, she was his only daughter and he was a very important man.

((Must be busy, the show must go on xD))

Behind Jordan's good adventurous guy personality, there was a dark truth. A revenge obsessed boy, who wanted nothing more to see those who did this to his parents not to meet justice, but meet the same fate his parents did, lived inside a small part of his heart. Jordan convinced himself that he wasn't that person, but the more and more he became obsessed with finding the secrets his father had left, the more he felt that his father would want Jordan to avenge him.

The boy, torn in between choosing the right or the wrong way smiled brightly as he looked at his friends.. But.. Where was Nate? Well, Jordan decided he would have to deal with the rest of his friends. But that wasn't a bad thing. He just knew that Nate had the best ability keeping up with Jordan. And that he was his friend, but that didn't matter.

First had been Jonathan. "Allow it, bruv." Jordan said, with his thick Yardie accent. What he meant by "Allow it" was basically telling to wait for a moment.

Connor had shown up, Connor reminded Jordan of him during his second year and he had taken a liking to him. "Hey there, young blood." He said. Ruffling the young boys hair. After, Isadora came, looking as great as ever. "Hey there, Is." Jordan said, giving the girl two kisses on the cheek. "In a minute, yeh. We still got the Hufflepuff and the younger." Jordan said, referring to Nate as the "Hufflepuff" and Brooke as the "Younger."

There Brooke had shown up, and Jordan also gave her two quick kisses on the cheek, and ruffling her hair. He looked at the Ravenclaws, and sighed. "Aight. I never explained it to the youngers or Isa, I think Nate and John know." He said.
"When I was a boy, my parents were killed by them Death Eaters." He explained sighing. "My dad. Until a few months ago I thought he had just been a ministry worker. But I guess he wasn't just that. He knew that he was going to die, and hid things for me to find. I think his wand is in these caves. So, with our history of finding hidden things, I thought we could find the wand." He explained. "Now.. I have an idea of getting down." Jordan said pointing at how there wasn't anyway to get down safely from the hill. "But it involves-" Jordan said, cutting himself off and jumping off the cliff. "Jumping!" He yelled, making his way down, free falling off of the cliff, after a few good seconds, he feel right into the deep waters that were below, that had a water fall coming from the other side.

He bathed in the water, for a few seconds before exiting, and taking his clothes off, leaving his boxers. Along with his bag, and his wand, he left them next to a tree. "These will take a while drying. Might as well enjoy myself." He remarked to himself, jumping into the water again.
