Eino wouldn't think of hurting an animal! The only reason he enjoyed garments made of animals was so that they could live eternally, or so he thought. Not to mention the protection of animals, and humans alike, is the basis of Y.W.H.O., even if it's name can be slightly misleading. "Well, let me know when it happens and I shall make you something very snazzy that you should wear and look very handsome with it."
Was this kid for real? For really real?
... he legit thought that Jim was in need of something snazzy to turn his regular handsome into
very handsome? Deeeee-lusional this one.
Entertaining though.
James liked him.
"You know what roadkill is, Eino?" He asked casually.

Miss Bott arrived.
Hello banner....? She pursed her lips at it, but didn't comment.
Neptune didn't need to look to know Jim was there. Of course he was. She'd have GLADLY went to sit with Finny, but, again, Jim was there.
Soooooooooooooooooooo, she went to sit in an open chair, and play with her curls. And not look around. And wait for Kellen. Or something. La la la.
.....

Jim yawned casually and pretended like his heart didn't just stop when he saw Neptune walk in.

Except this room was much bigger and much more crowded than her bedroom was. She recognized a few people, though not all, but the ones she did know seemed engrossed in their conversations, so she decided not to interrupt them. Instead she plopped herself onto an empty sofa a little off to the side and pulled out a book from her bag to occupy herself.
Even better, he was so sure that Neptune was at least peripherally aware of him, in the same way he was of her, that when another pretty girl came on in he directed his attention at her, offering a smile of the friendly variety. If she wanted she could join himself and Ellie and Satine over this way and all.
but not Neptune
He got a bit distracted, in spite of himself at the sight of a book, and his eyes zeroed in on the cover, trying to see what it was.

But it was abnormal at the same time, by now someone should have had a fight, or someone being stupid. But everything was normal... to the extent that it became abnormal in the standards of hogwarts... What ever, Jacob didn't care, quiet is good.
But without warning only mere seconds after he had laid down and taken everything in, someone almost sat on him, he didn't even have time to react. But luckily, the person caught herself before they did, but consequently elbowed him in the stomach. "OOOPH" he exclaimed his expression of 'MINE!' changed to some pain as the girl started with her apologies... again Jacob didn't understand what was with Hogwarts people and apologies, Jacob would have just laughed and been on his way.
He rubbed his stomach as he sat up. The nerve of some people. He waved off he apologies, and said a simple "its fine" before sitting up completely and making room on the couch. "You know, you could have just asked to sit down. You didn't have to elbow me" quite mean
Then he heard something from across the room. He only caught a few words, like Insane, Pitch, and pirate, but he immideitly knew who Ellie was talking about, and looked around at Ellie and a kid he didn't know. "Oi!" he yelled towards them. "I'm Not Deaf. I CAN hear you." what ever he had sort of gotten used to people talking about him.
Jimmy made a mental note in favour of capturing the couch at a later point. It could be a useful tool as WELL as a comfortable place to carelessly sprawl.
He smirked when Jacob hollered at Ellie and offered a little wave of acknowledgement, which was really more like a casual can't-quite-be-bothered, flick of his fingers.

I guess I've never run into you at school, which is odd since we are both six years...did you transfer in?" she asked as he glanced up at the banner. Satine sluffed her shoulder as she studied his body language and could tell inside he wasn't excited about it.
Satine's face went blank and she glanced at the girl. "Well, I'm sorry that things aren't going good today. " she said very calmly and then reached in her bag, "I know this won't solve anything at all, but sometimes these just make me feel at least moderate on my worst days." she said handing the girl a rainbow licorice wand.
"Yeahh last year." Jim answered, cheerfully enough. "I was home-schooled before." He paused. "I didn't see you around last year." And she definitely wasn't acting new. Enthusiastic in a way that a lot of people lost over time, but not new.
"I'd remember if I had." Jimmy added. Yeah what with that hair of hers and... he met her eyes properly. A little bit different, this Satine. He gave her a proper, genuine smile.

Yeah, her mind can change quickly.
Oh my Merlin! "A pygmy marmoset...as in a tiny, little, adorably, little monkey type thinggy?!" She sooo wanted to see it!
"It'd work no? If the other teams think there's dissension in the ranks and all, but really the guy's like... a secret weapon, just WAITING to be unleashed."
Brows. Oh the possibilities.
Jacob Blunt, Quidditch Captain.
A boy barely sane.
Ravenclaws, we can enchant him. We have the magic. We have the capability to create the world's first distractingly-insane-not-deaf-ticking-timebomb Captain.
Jacob Blunt will be that boy.
Better than he was before.
Better.
Stronger.
Faster.
Nanananaaaah Nananananahh
Jim might have been humming under his breath.
He trailed off from his imaginings and glanced at Ellie when she spoke again, offering a grin of acknowledgement. "Well yeah. Little Monkey. Thats my Rufus."
