 Seminar Three: Apples, Oranges, and Pears, Oh My!
The classroom was brightly decorated and filled with the tantalizing scent of fresh picked fruits and vegetables. The rows of desks that normally occupied the room had vanished away and in their stead there were long tables, though these weren’t the science-y ones you find in those Muggle academies. No, these were craft tables. The unbreakable glass topped worktables came stocked with all the supplies necessary to make jewelry the Muggle way – cutting boards and of course a crank-operated fruit slicer. Each worktable could sit groups of four students or more if they were small enough, however the older students could fit less comfortably on at the stations.
In the right corner of the room there stood an enchanted cupboard with assorted fruit and vegetables tucked away into neat little boxes. Next to that was a large bin filled with apples, oranges, lemons – and other such fruits and vegetables that weren’t half as fragile as the others; and on a peg near both hung an assortment of smocks, gloves, and protective eye gear in case people needed them and didn't seem to have their own.
A kind-looking blond woman is sitting at the front of the room behind her own startlingly organized craft table. A box of rings, necklaces, and earrings were sitting in front of her, all looking positively edible - but unfortunately quite tasteless.
"Bienvenu and welcome," yes she knew they meant the same things but she was too excited to remember not many of these little kiddies spoke French. She smiles brightly at you and continues speaking, happy you chose to join her. "Please find a table, sit, and make yourself comfortable." She was ready to show people what beauty fruit could bring. She just hoped no one would start eating lacquered fruits in here... |
