Bonnie had never traveled by portkey before and lets just say, she was not a fan. Okay first stop, food. Despite feeling a little queasy Bonnie managed to nibble at her food, desperate to go exploring.
Where to go first? She wanted to see everything! Bonnie had read about Godric's Hollow but to actually be here was something else. It was such an important part of wizarding history and she was here, she was actually here.
Making up her mind, Bonnie began to head towards the Potter Memorial.

Tenacius bounced out onto the grounds, bright blue-green eyes taking in the scenery. Man its been forever and a day since he was last here, the last time with him being too ickle to actually remember everything. But he remembers the general area.... And THAT Potter memorial, how can anyone forget that?
He looked around and watched his housemates milling around-- oh there Ava and Genny, and there goes the Head Peoples doing Head People-y things and yeah more kids his age. Big bright beamy beam for them all!
BUT there is a specific place he's been wanting to check out, a place that his folks likely didn’t let him go through either because of its dark history or that he would've likely broken something priceless. But now that he's a big ickle boy with fully functional legs he's gonna go there because he can!
And off he goes for Bathilda's lair....
Melbourne Johanson was extremely excited. “Tenacius!” She grinned over to her friend practically bouncing where she stood. “isn’t this place awesome?” She asked as she walked over toward the Bathilda Bagshot Museum of Magical History.
“Tentententen we should see if there’s anything cool there” Mel grinned and looked around at all of the places around them. Everything the whole entire place looked amazing and cool and utterly epic? Right? They were in a place of history!

She didn't mind exploring Godric's Hollow alone though, but it wouldn't be as fun as when she was with people. And the first people that Ava saw when she arrived was Yoongi and Jessie, so that's why she decided to follow them. Plus, the young lioness really wanted to know if Yoongi could guide her (and Jessie) and did his Head Boy duty like Zander would do if he was still here.... Oh yeah, she needed to tell him about this.
So they wanted to go to museum? "Okay then.". Ava just followed them there though she wasn't really fond of museum. But that's better than wandering around the Godric's Hollow alone. "Do you enjoy History of Magic, guys?" She asked to both of them. "I don't really like it, it's really boring. But Professor Finch wasn't really a bad teacher, at least he's better than the Grey lady." Well, they were heading to the History of Magic museum so asking them if they enjoyed the lesson was appropriate, right?
Also, Yoongi did say what?
Okay, that's it. Ava couldn't help but let out a big laugh. This is why she called him flower boy at the first place. "Yeah yeah yeah, pretty boy." She said. "Can you, just for a moment, not to act narcissistic? That's why not many people take you as a Head Boy seriously." Of course she was joking. Don't take it seriously.... "Oh, Hi Jessie! Enjoying the trip so far?" She greeted the younger lioness.
Jessie turned her head from the head boy to the girl "History of Magic was kinda fun. But not my favourite lesson. Profesor Finch made me to ask five questions to the potrait." Jessie smiled to herself remember her first question to Sir Elliot "What's wrong with Grey Lady,Ava?"
Jessie snapped her head back to Yoongi and laughing at Ava's sentences. The youngest observed Yoongi *cough* pretty *cough* face. She knew it would be impolite to staring at other people intensively.But she couldn't hold her urge anymore!
And Ava mentioned her name again. " Yes! And I'm glad to meet our head boy in this trip. How about you, Ava?"
Jessie take a glance to the camera still worried about taking a photo with them.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
If he liked History of Magic? Yoongi shrugged his shoulders. "It's okay, i prefer Charms though" he said, looking from Ava to Jessie as she basically said the same thing. "I was actually sick during the lesson with the portraits though" so he couldn't tell about how that class had been.
The Gryffindor looked up at the building and then towards the two young girls as they began to laugh at what he had said earlier. He raised his eyebrow, showing that he hadn't been joking about being photogenic at all. "Narcissistic? I'm not narcissistic" he said in a 'hmpf' sort of voice. "I'm confident, there's a big difference you know" actually, he wasn't as confident about himself like Professor Draper had proved a little while ago. Merlin, he hoped they weren't going to see him during the trip. A quick look around and he didn't see him anywhere near them. Good.
What he did see was Jessie staring at him the whole time and the Head Boy gave a wink in her direction before pointing at the camera that Ava was holding. "Shall we take a picture in front of the building together?" he asked.
Tenacius bounced out onto the grounds, bright blue-green eyes taking in the scenery. Man its been forever and a day since he was last here, the last time with him being too ickle to actually remember everything. But he remembers the general area.... And THAT Potter memorial, how can anyone forget that?

YEH, MAN. Godric's Hollow, YEAH! HUZZAH!
Matt had never really planned on going there, but HEYO, since they were now there he would make the MOST of it. Especially those places that had some really dark history linked to them. Oh, that was pretty much all of them places there, right? HAHA, YES! WOOOO!! Matt was up for it.
There were SO MANY options he didn't know where to start. OHEY, look over there Chewie and the Extendable-Ears-girl going towards that house-museum over there. Good place to start, Matt suppooooosed. So he followed them.
"HAI. I'm coming with you!" He proclaimed just so they would know. Matt started walking faster because he just wanted to get there already, mun. "What is this place anyway? Bathilda Bagshot. Cool surname! Bagshot. BagSHOT." He didn't know why the place was important enough to have become a museum but DARK HISTORY. "Wait, there IS some dark history related to this house, right?" Matt wouldn't go in otherwise. He wanted to know all of the dark stuff. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
And he was in before he got any answers. "COOL! ECHO. ECHOOO. ECHOOOOO."

Either way, Sam's pulse picked up and immediately he spun on his heel, his hand suddenly darting to the wand in his pocket.
But it only hovered there for a moment before relaxing.
It was just his professor. Professor Draper.
The boy stood there for a moment, just looking at the man. No one seemed to be with him. It was rather weird, actually.
"Hello, Professor," he finally said, speaking first only because he was a kid and his professor was a grown-up. Was there something he could help him with, or was he just going to stand there all strange like that?
Ah drats. Cover was blown.
James had been hoping the minuscule body would have done something worth his interest. Something entertaining. Not exactly sure as to what, but the kids hear were all a little strange. But instead, now he'd be expected to walk around with the kid, yeah? Not how he was hoping to spend the day.
At the greeting, James gave the boy a slight nod. He couldn't exactly come up with the dwarf's name at the moment, so instead he skipped pleasantries altogether. No one had to know any better. "You normally wander around unfamiliar places on your own?" He raised a single brow in question. "Or did you lose your buddy along the way?" Buddy system, hadn't they gone over proper field trip etiquette? Leave it to Santa Claus Airey to forget giving the kids safety guidelines.
Actually, James could think of another way to get his entertainment for the day.
No harm done. Plans weren't spoiled after all.

Did he normally wander around unfamiliar places on his own? Sam's eyebrow raised ever so slightly. Looked like someone was getting into Dad-mode. As far as he knew, he wasn't breaking any rules. "I don't think I was alone, considering..." He allowed his gesture toward his professor to finish his sentence for him. Though clearly not appreciating the condescension, Sam resisted the urge to roll his eyes when Draper wondered aloud whether he had lost his 'buddy.' He wasn't dignifying that with a response.
"Is there something you need, or can I go inside?" His voice remained level, but this guy was seriously deterring him from his adventure.
Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious
Kaycee, being an American, didn't really know much about this area. Of course, they'd studied the Battle of Hogwarts a ton, but that wasn't really the same. This wasn't Hogwarts. This was a neighborhood.
She wandered around.
Was there a map around here? Or something they were supposed to be looking for?

Ah so the dwarf was cheeky. Which meant that James would find this much more enjoyable than he had expected. Excellent. Hopefully the boy was willing to cooperate here. He gave the boy a considerate sort of look, deciding to ignore the question all together.
"Thought you lot would be more apprehensive considering what happened to the last student who wondered off during a school trip," was the boy interested yet? Red house was for curiosity, yeah? C'mon kid, don't let him down here. Let your Professor have some fun. It's for a good cause. James was growing bored already. What a shame. There had been oh so much potential. Clearly misplaced potential. Might as well leave now.

"wait, there is some dark history related to this house, right?" matt wouldn't go in otherwise. He wanted to know all of the dark stuff. Ooooooooooooooo.
And he was in before he got any answers. "cool! Echo. Echooo. Echooooo."
Dark magic was everywhere in the magical world…well, everywhere linked to Harry freaking Potter that is. MAGICAL MUSEUMS WOOT, Mel was excited and then she heard a voice and turned to see Matt. “HI Matt!” She grinned over to him.
“Bagshot” she sniggered herself and grinned over to him. “She was like a HUGE wizarding historian and she got killed by Voldemort” Mel nodded she’d learned about it in one of her books…”and th-then Voldemorts snake wore her skin like like a puppet” she winced a bit. Gruesome. So gruesome. “of course Harry Potter came here and --- oh my gosh that is so cool” she squeaked out at the echoing.
“ECHO” she called out herself and looked around. THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME.

WHOA, this place was awesome. Being eleven was awesome! In all her eleven years, she hadn't done things as cool as she was now. First London, and then Hogwarts, and now Godric's Hollow. Much cooler than Cornhill-on-Tweed, or even the lake. She was far to engrossed in just being here, and the sights, that she didn't even notice her friends go off with out her, until they were way far ahead.
"Hey guys, wait for me!!" she hollered as she scuttled after them, and pretty much pounced on Mel's back when she caught up. "Hey, what is this place?" she asked. It looked.... old. .... Did she just hear what she thought she did? "Waiiit, did you say a snake wore a person? Mel, are you making things up?"

By this point, Sam was ready to just mutter a closing sort of remark and be on his way. He would have been in Potter Cottage and exploring by this point, if it hadn't been for Professor Pokey here.
He almost opened his mouth, ready to roll some form of 'I'll be on my way' off his tongue, until Draper mentioned something that caught his interest. A student who had wandered off during a school trip? Sam's expression didn't change; he just remained staring at his professor, assessing his gravity while simultaneously considering how to answer this. He was curious, no doubt. But, at this rate, was this guy even telling the truth?
The remark was enough to keep his feet planted, for now.
Eyes still on the adult, Sam's head cocked to the side ever so slightly. "I haven't heard anything about a Hogwarts student wandering off."

Plus Ace :3
Matt deadpanned. "Everyone was killed by Voldemort." He said gloomily. He also pulled a DRAMATIC face when she mentioned the snake wearing the woman's skin as a puppet. "What a creep!" Then Harry Potter came and? "Killed all the bad guys, as he used to." Matt finished with a grin. That was what heroes did and Harry Potter was a hero.
A REAL LIFE hero, which meant they were real and Matt could TOTALLY BE ONE HIMSELF.
Another girl came and basically pounced on Mel's back. Matt glanced at the two of them briefly before turning around to look at all them THINGS. "It's probably true." Matt answered to the girl's comment about Mel making things up. "It sounds mental, so it probably happened." He nodded a couple of times as he looked around. "Do you think there's anything we can take as a souvenir??" History of Magic was so boring, but objects could be fun and Matt wanted SOMETHING. Not a book, DEFINITELY NOT a book.

Oi, Professor Pokey here was just trying to have some fun. And it would've been more than just an attempt if the Dwarf would've been more willing to cooperate. So who's really at fault here? Hint: not James.
Heeeeeeh.
That flinch his jaw did was enough of an indicator that finally, James had struck gold. He had caught the boy's interest, the next bit, that was easy. "Oh?" he lifted his brows, in mock surprise. Of course the kid hadn't heard of it before because it hadn't actually ever happened. But it wasn't a boldface lie, not like this wasn't at all plausible. It could have happened. "They must think it's too much for you lot to handle knowing," he waved a dismissive hand. "Forget I said anything, would yah?" and he finished it off with a wink.
Man, this is why he loved his job.
And with that, he began walking towards what was left of the Potter Cottage, though he was still curious to see what the midget would do for his next move.

Spencer was beyond excited for today, a whole day out visiting the famous Godric's Hallow, how cool was that? He couldn't believe that his father allowed him go to this house retreat, but he said it was a good way for him to learn more about the past and learn some interesting things about the founder of the Gryffindor house.
Stock up on food, Spencer looked around wondering where to go, there was so many interesting places he could go. Hm... maybe the Potter Cottage? Yeah, that's a great place to start, he always wanted to visit there anyways. Spencer always been interested about the house where Voldemort tried to kill the famous Harry Potter but it backfired on him leaving Harry with a lighting bolt scar. He'll start there and maybe make his way around the place, yeah that sounded like a good idea.
Hope came out of visiting dumbledore's house and almost ran into spencer. He was about to go into Harry potter's house. She looked up at it. Yea she really wanted to go there! Pulling her jacket zipper up more she gave spencer a smile. "Hey spence! Are you going into the potter's? Can I join you?"

Spencer laughed as she almost ran into her. "Whoa hey careful there, don't want you to fall and hurt yyourself. "said Spencer giving her a soft warm smile. Spencer nodded. "Yeah I am, and of course you can, why would you ask a question like that? "Spencer asked her. "Come on lets go before it gets to crowded. said Spencer intertwining his hand into hers as they headed towards the Potter's house.

Hope giggled. "I was just making sure." Remembering that she had made him some brownies with oreos and cookie dough as the bottom, she grabbed them from her backpack. [B]"I made these for you! I was hoping we would meet you here." She handed the Ziploc bag of brownies to him. Then opened up a bag for herself. Taking a bite, she moaned a little at how amazing they tasted. Her mum really taught her well. That's why she was so good at potions.
[B]"I went to Dumbledore's home, and it was amazing. I wish we were alive when he was. The Potter's have to be amazing too!" She couldn't help her excitement. She had never been here before, and to come with Spencer put the cherry on top of her day.

"You know that you don't even have to ask me if you want to come, you'll know that I'll always say yes to you. said Spencer giving her a soft warm smile. Spencer opened the bag before he took a bite of it, as always, it was utterly mind blowing. "These are amazing Hope sweetheart, I love them! "said Spencer. "I swear I think I'm going to get fat from all these brownies and stuff you make me!"said Spencer jokingly and playfully before laughing.
"Wow...really? I have to go check that out afterwards, I heard it's pretty awesome. " said Spencer. "I always wanted to see the famous Potter's house, I read and heard some many stories about! "said Spencer. Spencer was excited, and with Hope here, it was more great and fun!

Genny! Genny Tate. He was close, no? Like, Penny and Genny sounded awfully similar so he was content enough with metal patting his own back for being almost right. Solid effort.
"Genny, I'll be sure to remember that," now... now that he actually knew. And would you look at that! She knew his name! But of course she did, who didn't? Really? "So you do," he mused, grinning. Titling his head back up the street as an invitation for her to walk with him, Zeke considered the girlies quesiton.
Know anything cool?
"Depends on your definition of cool," he shrugged, "the Potter's house is standard cool, cause you know, the whole Voldemort killing thing and the whole Potter legacy.. the Dubledore house is, something, but too stuffy for me..." and that really left not much else. "I was gonna check out the cemetery if you want to join?"
Genny happily obliged with Zeke's non-verbal invitation to walk with him. She stuck her hands in her pockets and started onward with a little skip to her walk. Only a little. "Okay."
He thought the Potter's house was standard cool? Genny's eyes widened in shock, but quickly tried to look nonchalant by this opinion. It was the seventh year's who knew what was up, duh. "Yeah, yeah. I don't... care for it, too." She confirmed the lie with a nod. Dumbledore's house was not something she was familiar with so she trusted Zeke's opinion again. "The cemetery? Yeah, sure." WHO on their right mind skipped all the cool houses and chose where the dead people lied?? She wanted to go see it, though, if Zeke thought it was worth exploring. "I don't go to cemeteries often." She added, preparing him for her novel reactions.
"You know that you don't even have to ask me if you want to come, you'll know that I'll always say yes to you. said Spencer giving her a soft warm smile.

She loved when he thought her baking was great. It made her day. She gave him a huge smile as he ate the brownie. "You fat? I don't think I will ever see that day." She teased back. "I will just have to stop making all these little goodies for you." She raised her eyebrow at him like her mum always did. She loved teasing. She was only 12.
"It was amazing. I saw his family tree and everything. It was old looking, but totally worth going to see. Maybe if we have time we can stop back over there after we leave here." She grabbed his hand as they walked into the Potter's. There were pictures of Harry and of all the Potter's. It was a shame that Harry's parents had seen an untimely death. But Harry's family had grown. Harry and Genny made a beautiful family together.

She grabbed his hand as they walked into the Potter's. There were pictures of Harry and of all the Potter's. It was a shame that Harry's parents had seen an untimely death. But Harry's family had grown. Harry and Genny made a beautiful family together.
Spencer loved Hope's baking, it was amazing and always good no matter what she made him, it was always a surprise. "Although I love your baking, every time I think I like something, you surprise me with something else making me like that! "said Spencer chuckling. "No don't do that, don't do that ever, good thing that I can eat like a horse and not look like I gained a pound! "said Spencer.
Spencer smiled. "Sounds amazingly awesome, I can't wait to see it, as weird as it seems I want to see the Potter's grave and stuff in the cemetery."said Spencer. Walking into the house with Hope, he looked around with her. "Wow...this is incredible, it's like I'm stepping into the past! "said Spencer.

WHOA, this place was awesome. Being eleven was awesome! In all her eleven years, she hadn't done things as cool as she was now. First London, and then Hogwarts, and now Godric's Hollow. Much cooler than Cornhill-on-Tweed, or even the lake. She was far to engrossed in just being here, and the sights, that she didn't even notice her friends go off with out her, until they were way far ahead.
"Hey guys, wait for me!!" she hollered as she scuttled after them, and pretty much pounced on Mel's back when she caught up. "Hey, what is this place?" she asked. It looked.... old. .... Did she just hear what she thought she did? "Waiiit, did you say a snake wore a person? Mel, are you making things up?"

Matt deadpanned. "Everyone was killed by Voldemort." He said gloomily. He also pulled a DRAMATIC face when she mentioned the snake wearing the woman's skin as a puppet. "What a creep!" Then Harry Potter came and? "Killed all the bad guys, as he used to." Matt finished with a grin. That was what heroes did and Harry Potter was a hero.
A REAL LIFE hero, which meant they were real and Matt could TOTALLY BE ONE HIMSELF.
Another girl came and basically pounced on Mel's back. Matt glanced at the two of them briefly before turning around to look at all them THINGS. "It's probably true." Matt answered to the girl's comment about Mel making things up. "It sounds mental, so it probably happened." He nodded a couple of times as he looked around. "Do you think there's anything we can take as a souvenir??" History of Magic was so boring, but objects could be fun and Matt wanted SOMETHING. Not a book, DEFINITELY NOT a book.
Melbourne let out a rather loud squeal of shock when she was pounced on. “Saaaaammmmy” she gasped out feigning shock to see her and grinned at the question. “Of course I did.” She nodded. “noooooooooo I read it in one of India’s old textbooks when she was a meanie and moved me in with her” she huffed.
“Just because I tried to release fleas in my primary school…they deserved it” she huffed and then turned to look over to Matt and nodded. “Voldemort was soooooooo creepy he didn’t even have a nose!” she added the fact in as if it were the coolest thing in the world. “I think its because all of the evil deeds and villainy he did stripped away his soul and like…made him less human? So he was probably like on the way to becoming a being” she paused for a moment “wait…what if he was becoming a male hag?” Did they even have those? Maybe soul ripping was how hags were born?
“It is true it was in the biography written about Potter” Mel grinned. Yep. She was a reader. A total nerd and maybe a slight villain, “I don’t know….they probably have a gift shop” she muttered and frowned. “I’d rather go explore on our own and see if I can find something extra awesome and off limits” she muttered and looked at her friends as if daring them to join her.

If he liked History of Magic? Yoongi shrugged his shoulders. "It's okay, i prefer Charms though" he said, looking from Ava to Jessie as she basically said the same thing. "I was actually sick during the lesson with the portraits though" so he couldn't tell about how that class had been.
The Gryffindor looked up at the building and then towards the two young girls as they began to laugh at what he had said earlier. He raised his eyebrow, showing that he hadn't been joking about being photogenic at all. "Narcissistic? I'm not narcissistic" he said in a 'hmpf' sort of voice. "I'm confident, there's a big difference you know" actually, he wasn't as confident about himself like Professor Draper had proved a little while ago. Merlin, he hoped they weren't going to see him during the trip. A quick look around and he didn't see him anywhere near them. Good.
What he did see was Jessie staring at him the whole time and the Head Boy gave a wink in her direction before pointing at the camera that Ava was holding. "Shall we take a picture in front of the building together?" he asked.
"So would you tell me about the difference of narcissistic with confident?"
Jessie tilting her head then avoiding Yoongi`s eyes whe he winked at her. She wants to hide her blush. No..Don`t take it wrong. She was blushing easily.And then she heard his offer to take a pic together.
"Uuh... Yoongi. Could you take a photo only with Ava?"
Jessie always have a problem with taking a picture. She didn`t want to see her own face. So embrassing. And then her face turned again into scarlet.

Hey hey hey! The gangs all here!... Well except Tory, who was probably sneaking off around somewhere and where they would likely trample over him. Because that usually happens when they're all together.
See if theres anything cool? "Mel we are surrounded by cool." That’s why they're here. "In fact it just got cooler." Because they just walked in the door, geddit?
Haha Matt was so amused by Bathilda BagSHOT. Which suddenly got this curly top to belt out a tune, echoing down along the walls like a concert hall "-- SHOT through the heart, and you're to blame! You give love a bad name (((bad name))). I play my part and you play your game! You give love a bad name (((bad name)))."
And there he goes air guitaring around the display cases.
Oh hey! Sammy's here. "Yeah the giant snake wore Bathilda like.... Like we would with a bag over our head." Hows that for visual reference.
Then Mel was going on about her Voldemort theory. "Well I thought he was some kind of animagus who just really liked looking like a Snake. Y'know like Cobra Commander."
Wait what-- off limits? Tenacius looked at Matt and Sammy and shrugged "Well I didn’t come to the coolest stop in the whole field trip just to look at the gift shop. But if you guys wanna..." they were free to do so.
And off he goes, tailing Mel.

Sam shook her head. "I bet it was one of her old story books, though, not sure why anyone would want to write about something like that. Sounds gross. Gee, thanks for that." She told Ace. "You just made it worse." She made faces when Mel told her story about the fleas. Sometimes she just didn't understand her best friend. Why would anyone do that? She was just ping-ponging all around with their conversation. "Ohh, Wouldn't being an animagus be fun? What sort of animals do you think you's be?"
She walked along and looked at the things they had in the museum "You mean like nick something? Thats not right." Just so they all knew. Except they were talking about a gift shop. Oops, that was her bad. "Oooooh." she said quietly. That sounded like an excellent idea. "I'm game." She said following along with her friends.
