Big, probably crowded, events like this were not the way he preferred to spend his time, but Ben thought it was something he ought to do. This event was intended to support Stemp House and a place similar to it in France, and though being there was not something he had ever thought would happen, he had no complaints about the people there. Those in charge had been nothing but kind to him since he had arrived, and even the other residents were pleasant enough in their own way, though some were louder than they needed to be.

Besides, in some way, he also thought it would be interesting come here. What might be the similarities and differences between the two, especially since they were in different countries? And perhaps this might be a good opportunity to practice his French. He was trying to learn as much as he could over the summer, considering the Hogwarts-at-Beauxbatons situation coming up. He had been reading all about the school in France since the article in the Daily Prophet.

Now that they had arrived, Ben predictably slipped toward the outer edges of the crowd, his grey eyes looking every which way to take in all in. Magnificent, all of it. The people here certainly knew how to decorate well. The scale and elegance of it all reminded him...reminded him a little bit of his old home.

Old house, actually, as he had come to think of it instead. That place had never been even half as bright and welcoming as this place or as Stemp House. Though elegant and lavish, it had also been cold and lifeless. Aspects he was sure he never would have realized without these houses - these homes - to compare it to.

An ache in his chest gave him pause, but he mentally pushed it aside. There was no point in dwelling on such things. He ought to focus on the event right now.

Perhaps he would try one of those macarons.
