Upon arriving her eyes popped open at the bright colors and quickly noticed vraft tables that seated four. She took a seat and noticed shiny little bead and trinket supplies. She smiled knowing she was more then likely in for a good time making something beautiful.
The first person who walked into the room looked excited. And that made Alicia feel almost proud and nervous herself - she just hoped she didn't send any little trinkets flying across the room.
"Hello dear, welcome" she smiled it wasn't long before she was joined by another girl.

Kurumi sort of just bowed when the woman said...whatever it was she had just said to the Gryffindor as she entered. "Good day," she said, bowing again. "Kurumi Hollingberry, Gryffindor prefect. Welcome to Hogwarts ma'am."
Turning to find a seat, her violet eyes scanned the area and all the fruit and... jewelry? Were they going to turn fruit into jewelry...like how Luna Lovegood had radish earrings? There were also Dirigible plum-shaped earrings as well, rumored to enhance the wisdom of their wearers, but Kurumi didn't entirely buy into all that.
Finding a place, Kurumi took her seat and waited for things to unfold.
She smiled over to Miss Hollinberry as she walked in and introduced herself.
"Hello Miss Hollinberry its a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for welcoming me." She smiled over to her.

She didn't attend the second seminar anyway and she wasn't all active on the first one. Maybe she'll make it up and do better here on the third one. Since she thought it was interesting. Maybe the woman who'd speak to them was that... Celandine lady? Yeah, Kat thought she was pretty fly.
"Good day, miss," Kat greeted and smiled at the lady in front of them. Aw, it wasn't Celandine. But maybe this woman, French speaking, was cool too. Only way to find out. "I'm Katrina Hudson." And no title in particular. Unless you wanted Slytherin's Pop Princess, or Slytherin Chaser, or Slytherin's budding Beater, or... name it. You can even call her Kitkat if you want, but no. Looking around the room, Kat noticed fruits...
FRUITS. That made Kat a bit hungry. Meh, probably she needed to eat a better dinner later on. And gloves and all those, they weren't going to learn how to plant those fruits right? She's had ENOUGH of that in Herbology. No, no. Then, the blonde took a seat and waited for more people to join in.

Well, that was a rather odd use for fruit. But the thing that really excited her was that the woman spoke French! She hadn't met another French speaker the whole time she had been at Hogwarts. "Bienvenue, Madame! Je m'appelle Emmanuelle Moreau." (Welcome miss. My name is...) Yep, she was so excited that she had slipped into her native tongue. But she figured that would be okay, just as long as she didn't spend the entire lesson doing that.
Anyway, she picked herself a table and sat down, shoving her bag under it. She was going to sit there and wait for instructions, since she really didn't know how to make jewelry. Especially with fruit.
Alicia just smiled as soon as she heard Emmanuelle's accent. It was so completely superb.
"Bonjour Emmanuelle, Je m'appelle Alicia Devereaux" she smiled over to her.
"You are french no?" She asked with a small smile.

Looking around she saw just a few people so far. Then the smells hit her. Oh that smelled good, she loved the fruit smell in the room and smiled a bit.
Looking towards the lady who would be doing the lesson today Minerva smiled, "Hello, thank you for taking time to come and teaching us something new. I'm Minerva." She then turned and headed for a seat. Once seated she pulled out her parchment and quill to get ready for the lesson to start.
Alicia couldn't help but smile when Minerva came into the room. It was especially nice since she well, she had thanked her for teaching them something new. Who here knew that this would also save them scores of galleons on useless trinkets of affection.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Miss Minerva, and thank you I hope you feel the same way once you have all finished today" Quote:

His mind was abuzz with different ideas of what this class could be about.. until he stepped into the room.
Green eyes took in all the supplies that were laid out. They were making jewelry? Ok.. not really what he was expecting..
He thought for a moment of making a run for the door, but as the woman at the front caught his eye, he smiled warmly.. his smile growing as she spoke. "Bonjour, Madame," he answered back in one of the few languages he was fluent. And then he made his way to find a seat. Of course, he noticed he was the only boy there.. apparently the others already knew it was about jewelry.. And then he spotted Minnie, he gave her a smile and took a seat next to her.
Alicia could see the fear in the young lad's eyes, maybe it was because of the jewelry and trinkets in the room. She gave him an understanding smile and just felt like chuckling slightly at his illluck.
"Thank you dear," she smiled. She'd explain all this shortly who knew maybe they needed to freeze something in its place.

What are the chances of us eating the fruit? He wondered that as he remembered eating a bowl of cereal with a lot sugar before the Gryffinpuff match, it occurred to him that he needs to make better choices in regards to the first meal of the day. Maybe eating breakfast before class would do finely too, but now he's stuck thinking about eating because he didn't have breakfast. Oh well.
He couldn't take the fruit or vegetables anyway, it seems to be guarded by a nice looking lady. Oh well, indeed. We probably aren't allow to eat during a seminar anyway. "Guten tag, Mamsell," he greeted politely to her, in the little German he knows. "Mien name ist Mick DeLarge." (Good day, misses, my name is Mick DeLarge.) He stopped to look over the room for a nice spot and wouldn't he know it, Ethan and Minnie are here too. They probably want to sit with just themselves. Mick decidely took the seat at the table next to theirs, he didn't want to impose on them.
Alicia smiled over to Mick as he walked into the room and began to speak German. She was about to make this little boy's day maybe. He and the students in here probably didn't know about her previous workings within the Ministry of Magic - not just in the Magical Law Enforcement but with the Department of International Magical Cooperations as well.
"Willkomen Mick" she smiled as she welcomed him into the classroom.

Entering the classroom, the third year smiled at the unfamiliar woman and took in the delicious fruity scent that was wafting out the door. Mmmm. "Hello, I'm Ella Bishop." She greeted cheerfully before looking around for a seat.
Spotting Mr. Lewis' lady, Ella grinned and took the seat beside her. BEAM. "Hi Kurumi!"
Alicia smiled over to Ella as she walked into the room. This Bishop girl looked and sounded enthusiastic as she came into the room.
"Welcome Miss Bishop" she smiled as she looked around the room. Cheery people were the best. And right now Alicia was cheerful - well, for the most part. She was also nervous because whenever her fiance came back from his mission they were going to get married. This De Talone girl was almost as bad as the cultists had been. Almost.

The first thing he noticed was the tables. Not the usual set up for in a classroom but actual working tables ..with a glass surface. Mweh hopefully for the Professor it wasn't breakable. The second thing was the smell, a fruity smell. He didn't care what they were going to do this lesson, he was happy and that was what counted right?
He did not understand the woman's way of greeting though and the Slytherin frowned upon hearing the french word. It sounded french anyway... "Ehm.. Hello Professor! Welcome to Hogwarts" he smiled politely before making a short bow in greeting and turned around to find a place to sit.
Spotting his not related sister, Daichi grinned widely as he moved towards her. He was about to sit next to her when Ella had been first and he pouted. "Kurumi kurumi!" he said as he literally grabbed the girls arm from where he was standing and shook it not so lightly.
"Guess what! , no don't guess i wanna say! Indy said yes, i got a girlfriend" he said excitedly as he was looking in front of him with a goofy smile on his face. He didn't care if anyone else was hearing this as well. Daichi was with Indy now and no one could stop him hmpf!
Now it seemed that more and more students had caught the scent of her Seminar. Because clearly no one had started making the jewelry yet - that would be strange. And dangerous what with the magical tools they were going to be using. She just couldn't help but smile at this young excited fellow.
When he brought up having a girlfriend to his obvious friend she just smiled. Love and romance were things that were most obviously a great part of the french culture.
"Oh that's wonderful dear, congratulations on finding love" she winked at him.

This time around, her curiosity was piques by the interesting name. Was it all about fruits and vegetables and like? Hmm.. not too good.. But wait, it could be something else too! So, eager to know what actually was gonna be done, Ira had come to the seminar, smiling cheerfully.
Entering the room, she slung her bag on the desk and sat down herself, "Good day Ma'am.." French, "I'm Ira Wilson, fourth year Gryffindor" she said smiling. Let the seminar begin soon!!
Alicia smiled over to Ira, she smiled over to her. This girl looked interested which was a good sign. People with piqued interests were always the best to talk with and craft with. Alicia was excited to begin.

When Awar joined the room Alicia sent her a soft smile.
"Hello everyone I know by now you must be wondering what we will be doing - and the answer is simple" she smiled as she picked up a display of different jewelry. Walking around she placed examples at the different tables.
"We are going to be making jewelry out of fresh and real fruit and vegetables...if you do get hungry i ask you not try and eat these as some of them have muggle resin on them and thats not edible but feel free to have some of the fruits in the cupboard." She smiled.
Waving her wand the displays showed up at each table.
Moving and sitting on the top of the desk she just smiled to everyone before asking a blanket question to everyone in the room.
"Alright everyone I have a few questions before we start, first off raise your hands if you want to learn how to make your own jewelry?" She asked with a warm smile.
"Secondly can anyone guess what some of the spells we might use to make the jewelry?" she asked with a soft smile. Maybe people would have fun with this no?
