Prefect? Quidditch Captain? "Whoa.." She murmured. "They sound so cool...what's Quidditch about anyway?" She shrugged apologetically. "I'm a Muggleborn. I've heard mention of it, but I've never seen it played." Maybe she'd get a chance to watch it this year? And if so, wouldn't it be cool to actually play it? "And a prefect? What does she do?"
Ooo, so he was a transfer? "Oh! So you're probably just as lost as I am!" She exclaimed, now feeling a bit better that she wasn't alone in her quest of exploration. "We should explore together! Where else have you been?" Auggie grinned again as Kourtney was impressed with his new aquaintinces, he was pretty impressed himself for being lucky enough to meet them right off the bat. "You're Muggleborn also! That's awesome, so we really are both in the same boat here. But yeah Quidditch seems really cool. I've read all about it and I plan to try out for the House team." Nodding excitedly, the third year tried to remember some of the finer details. "Well you fly on brooms and then you have three different type of balls; the Quaffle, two bludgers, and a snitch. The chasers pass the quaffle and put it through hoops for points, the beaters hit the bludgers at others, and the seekers catch the snitch to end the match and get 150 points." Yep and that was all he knew about ths sport.
The Prefect? "Oh and Kurumi just helps out the Professor by showing us where to go and helping us when we need it." She was really nice, Kourtney would like her. SPOILER!!: Professor Bentley and Kourtney Quote:

Caltex!!" she called as the puppy raced off, seeing a group of students on the pathway ahead. Oh merlin! Seren didn't run, in fact she didn't even quicken her pace at all... there was no way she was going to run after that puppy. It would wait for her... once it reached its distraction. "Good day," she said once she reached the group of students, and her baby. Quote:

Ooo, she loved dogs! Her parents hadn't allowed her to get one, but she had always played with her neighbor's puppy when she went over to visit.
Now who could it...The nearly formed question was answered within moments. "Oh, hello ma'am." Kourtney said with a bright smile. The woman was one of the professors; she recognized her from the feast. However, she did not know her name or the subject that she taught.
She stood then, glancing at the puppy again. "Your puppy is adorable!" Quote:

"Thank you... he has a habit of recruiting admirers." And with his fluffy fur, shiny eyes and button nose, who could possibly resist?
"I don't beleive we've been introduced, I'm Professor Bentley." May as well do the whole introductions thing, she didn't want to be rude, and meeting students was always fun, so long as they weren't breaking any rules. That's when things got tricky.
And alas... rule breakers! But it wasn't a big rule, though it was one that should still be enforced.
"And where are your hats?" Quote:

She glanced at August, wondering how he felt about dogs. Some people didn't like them, or they preferred cats. She was on the fence about cats; didn't have feelings one way or another. Dogs was where her heart lay. "It's nice to finally meet a professor. I'm Kourtney Lams; first year Gryffindor." She introduced herself, still smiling.
And then...her smile faltered. Hats? Hats?! She shot a look of pure panic towards August. She knew hats were on the supply list, but she didn't..."Oh...oh...I'm sorry Professor!" And she had been so careful to get dressed the morning in the proper attire with her tie and knee socks and everything else, but she had forgotten the hat! "I'll....we'll go right back to the castle and get those...right now, if you'll so permit." Oh, she hoped that the professor was a merciful and understanding one! Quote:

Seren observed the boy... he was quiet, perhaps didn't like dogs? or just the fluffy type?
No matter...
Ohh of course, a first year. It was so hard to tell these kids apart sometimes, they were all so small. "Well it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance Miss Lams."
Seren couldn't help but smirk a little as the first year panicked. "Have you not heard the rule: no hat, no play, no fun today? ... we wouldn't want you getting sunburnt."
Not that you really could get sunburnt in Scotland, but it was a fun rule to enforce. The last thing she wanted was her aloe vera's to be harvested for such little dramas.
"Yes please do so... and remind any students you find without hats along the way." Quote:

Perhaps she could try to once again convince her parents to get a puppy. She could use her grades at Hogwarts as evidence that she was responsible.
No hat, no play, no fun today. She repeated the professors words a few times before giving a meek smile. Well, that certainly made sense though she wasn't sure if...
"Yes, ma'am." She answered, glancing again towards August and gesturing for him to follow. They'd get their hats and then get back to exploring. "Have a nice afternoon, Professor Bentley." Thank goodness she had allowed them the chance to retrieve their hats. She certainly wouldn't forget to wear it again.
With that, she began to make her way back towards the castle, all the while thanking her lucky stars that it was a forgiving professor that she had met. Quote:

"You too dear," she replied smiling.This was far too easy... she hadn't even asked why she wasn't wearing a hat. No matter. Glancing down at Caltex, she gave the puppy a nod.
"Shall we continue?" she asked, secretly hoping the puppy had had enough for the time being. But no... he had other plans, and continued up the path. Reluctantly Seren followed.
After finishing all of his Quidditch explination to the younger Gryffindor, he had bent down to tie his sneakers when he heard a small barking sound and just assumed it was an animal in the nearby trees and was taken aback when a small fluffy dog appeared followed by his mater, a younger woman who introduced herself as a Professor...
..and they were in trouble?! Oh no.
Before August had had a chance to introduce himself, she had given them permission to go back to the Castle to retrieve their hats and Kourtney was already starting to walk back towards the school. August rushed behind her to catch up and yelled back a the departing woman with the dog. "Thanks Professor!" |
