The Gryffindor second year was just nervous as she stood there and fiddled with the bag that she had slung over her shoulder. She was ready, excited even to see this whole Swedish adventure…maybe it was because she had Swedish heritage? She gave Hadley a nod before she grabbed one of the portkey’s and waited for the timer to end and the spell to take place.
The nauseous tugging feeling was happening again. She was probably going to look like someone locked her in a wind tunnel after this…or just look positively green. She landed not so badly, well, if you don’t count landing on your feet and then slipping and falling on the ground with a thud a bad landing. Looking around she gulped as she heard the announcement.
D-dragons? That was awesome…but still, they were at a Dragon Reserve. THE dragon reserve her parents had worked last…well, not last-last, but before the one they had disappeared from like a dragon’s breakfast. She was about to ask the man a question when he darted off…darn it.
She wanted to know more about the short snouts…like how dangerous they exactly were. Because she knew her classmates SOME of them would try to go into the enclosure with them.
Still. As she sat there not having gotten up off of the ground and looked around at the dragon reserve she just winced and began to almost wheeze as the fear was setting in. It was only slight, the pressure behind her eyes and in her chest as the dread hit her. Dragons. Sweden. How hadn't she put it together? Why had India signed? Mel gulped and began to simply rock back and forth on the ground for a bit.
It wasn't like it happened here...heck, they still didn't even know what had happened. They just...she just...they hadn't wanted her had they? That was what it was all along. Right? Dragons hadn't...they hadn't. Nope.
She was going to be alright. She knew that but a part of her just wanted to get a big old hug from Hads, Tenacius, and Sammy...a part of her just needed that.
Marsha was excited. Not only was she getting to visit Sweden, she was getting to go with VINCE on a trip to see DRAGONS and a BROOM RACE. Basically, it was the best thing ever.... Especially since it was ALSO so close to Halloween. What wasn't there to love?
As they moved out to the grounds, she tried to hold back her bouncing steps as she tried not to climb up some walls or trees or Vince (since he was SO tall) in excitement. Not that it worked, but at least she was TRYING. That counted for something... right? Moving a little here and there was muuuuuuuuch less distracting than full on running around; which, lets face it... Marsha Hanover was fully capable of.
As the counter started, she squeed a little and made sure to hold onto the portkey as it departed Scotland and transported them to Sweden. URGH. Awful thing. Awful, horrible, rubbish, sickening thing. Standing still, she kept her eyes closed until she thought she would be able to open them without being sick. She realllly didn't want to be sick. However, her balance was regained quick enough so she opened her eyes and began to look around.
So.... This was Sweden.
..............
AWESOME.
She listened to the man giving them their welcome - since she was too small to
actually see him - before she turned to look around the group. She wanted to find Vince and Lance, or maybe Bella or Kelly - but before she even got that far she turned slightly more to see her cousin on the ground.
.................. On the ground and rocking?
That... That wasn't Melon. Frowning, she slipped through the crowd of students to get to her before she crouched down in front of her.
"Melon? ... Mel, are you okay?" Was it a traveling thing, or a home sickness thing? Or was it something else? She tried to rack her brain, thinking about anything that Uncle Thunder had told her about Mel that could explain the rocking... but she was coming up blank. Hopefully Mel would tell her so that she could help.
