Millie and Emmett were running very late. They rushed into the large blue tent, hoping people were still there. She made sure there wasn't a presentation wasn't going on before saying, "Sorry we're late. I was finally able to give Emmett the grand tour. Everyone, this is Emmett. He is going to be studying at Hogwarts for the term. Emmett, this is Gaia, Magnus, Poppy and I few people I don't know."

Emmett smiled and waved and in his thick German accent said, "Hallo all. It's gut to meet you. I'm happy to finally be here at Hogwarts"

Millie wasn't sure if she should ask what they missed, so she tugged at Emmett's arm and led him to two comfy chairs and waited for everything to start back up.

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/2KveKVe.png[/img] Eros was about to get comfortable again when suddenly the bag of almonds floated away. The sixteen year old's gaze followed the bag to the culprit, Merlin. "Merlin," Eros greeted the other wizard. His tone wasn't the same nonchalant and cold that it normally was when he was talking to strangers. There was a subtle friendliness to it, though it was not an amused one either. "I didn't say I didn't want it," Eros replied, trying to look cool, but there was a hint of indignation. He went to reach for the bag of almonds back. "Plus, they might be poison. I don't want to feel guilty if you die because I let you eat them, mate," Eros added, jokingly but without a change in his expression or tone.

"And hi. Your insides?," The Aussie gave the prefect a quizzical look before kind of looking away when new arrivals made an entrance. However, he quickly returned his attention to Merlin.

"haha" I was just trying to tease and get your attention to say hello." He let go of the bag without a fight. "I don't want to die so young, but I doubt they are poisoned. And yes my insides because I was half asleep with my eyes closed, looking inside me." He laughs slightly. "I know, I know -I'm not very funny." Merlin stopped laughing but still had a gleam in his eyes - he was such a happy boy. "Glad to see you around, go to the prefect room sometimes, help us plan things huh? You have good ideas."

Merlin heard Eirik say he was leaving and wondered why so he turned his way and asked. "What happen? What did I miss?" He looks at "Fabe, you ok?" Merlin fell asleep and had no idea what happen in that time.

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/2KveKVe.png[/img] Eros sighed and reluctantly grinned at Merlin laughing at his own joke. "Maybe," he replied when Merlin invited him to help the prefects again sometime. "I'll try," Eros tried not to make any commitment. Of course, he had no intention of not helping the prefects if they needed him since he was okay with both Merlin and Poppy. "Anyway, back to taking notes...," Eros nodded before returning to place on the floor to get back on track with the workshop. This time, Eros placed the bag of almonds in the inner pocket of his black denim vest. Out of sight, out of mind.

((status: going to bed))

"So far so good," Everil replied.
She looked back to where the presenter stood and, seeing no immediate risk of being noticed, inconspicously gave her wand a flick. At once coffee poured itself into a mug and three lumps of sugar jumped into the hot spa. Everil placed a self stirring spoon inside the mug and smiled at Fade's bewildered face. Everil knew she shouldn't be using magic outside of the classroom, but she being so close to 'being of age', she could barely contain herself anymore.
Blowing steam away from the rim of her mug, Everil pulled the boy's attention off what she had just done. "So, have you decided if you want to lead one yet?"

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/FiJS3k1.png[/img] "Yeah, Merlin's () right. It would be good to have your input Eros (). Thank you."

"Long time no see Millie (), and it's nice to meet you Emmett. Welcome to Hogwarts."

"Actually, my workshop will be a food tour of Hogsmeade at the end of term Ms. Kerr ()."

"'Ey Millie," Magnus said, "Nice ta meetcha Emmet, 'ope you like 'Ogwarts."

Merlin nods after comment and watches Eros leave to take notes. "I guess I should do the same, must get ready for the workshops." He sat down on his beanbag and took his quill and ink out. "I still don't know what to write." He scratched his head and smiled.

“Not a chance. Way, way too disorganized.” Fade smirked at Everil () as he watched her magic some coffee into a cup. She was pretty bold, but there weren’t any professors about and worse things could happen. Just before the workshop resumed, Fade noticed Milli () entering the tent with yet another unfamiliar face. “Think I’ll grab a seat. Thanks again for the suggestion.” He raised the pumpkin pasties in his hand in a sort of salute and then grabbed his coffee mug before returning to where Magnus and Katsumi were sitting. ( )

On the way he smiled and waved at Milli and while doing so almost tripped over a boy sitting on the ground who was busy stuffing a bag of nuts in his pocket. () A little weird, but whatever considering the Nut Lady was giving them all a presentation. “Oops, sorry.” Somehow he managed to keep his coffee from spilling. There wasn’t really a need to apologize as he hadn’t actually touched the other boy, but Fade had a habit of being overly apologetic. Especially on extra clumsy days like today.

“Er, sorry that took so long.” He set down the treats for his friends at the table and eagerly sat in an adjacent chair so as not to accidentally crash into anyone else who was happily minding their own business.

"Thanks, Fade," he said taking the proffered goodie. "You did a good job, I love pasties." He nibbled on one and then sipped his tea. Pastry, tea, art supplies.... the day was looking up.

Then Lydia was talking again and Magnus turned his attention back to her.

Merlin was finally paying attention to Lydia. "This is a very helpful guide to get a general idea of how to organize the workshops. With hopefully lots of students participating it can get out of hand and direction." Merlin was finally taking notes.

Eros looked at the board, watching as the chalk outlined some things to think about for his workshop. What did he want to get out of his workshop? How was he benefiting from the time? It was a good question. At the moment, he wasn't sure. It wasn't like he needed to reinforce his knowledge on the subject. And he definitely wasn't a social person. He wasn't getting volunteer hours for this, so what was it? In his notepad, the teen scribbled down something and waited as he did not have any questions yet for the speaker.

"It's been a long time. How are you, Poppy ()? Did you do anything fun during the break? We - my family and Emmett's went to Croatia. Millie said. Millie smiled and waved at Fade ()

Emmett smiled at everyone. "It's gut to meet you all. I'm liking Hogwarts very much, zank you." He was sitting straight up and looked around the room. ()

Millie looked at the board and asked Emmett, "do you have any suggestions?" He shook his head, not wanting to interrupt. Millie took a chance to speak up. "I have kind of a food shop and culture idea, Ms. Kerr (). How about one that reflects on the different wizarding schools? Emmett usually attends Durmstrang and my aunt teaches at Ilvermorny. And don't you have an uncle who teaches at Koldovstoretz in Russia?" she asked Emmett. He nodded

(ooc - Thank you so much! Trying one more time before I file a ticket

It worked! Huzzah!)

(( looks like its working now o.0 that's random))

Magnus smiled but he wasn't sure what to say. Even social butterflies can be gobsmacked.

He sipped his tea and nibbled on his treat as Ms Kerr spoke.

( It's so weird. I'll file a ticket if it happens again. Thanks again for your help)

Emmett started picking dog hair off his uniform. He didn't understand why he felt so nervous. He was usually very social and loud but this time he wasn't able to get much out. Millie had told him many times about her friends and how nice they were. He asked Millie if she wanted anything from the refreshment table and she shook her head. He slowly got up and walked over and poured a cup of water. He felt like he stood out in his red uniform. "Maybe I should have worn somezthing else today" he thought.
