Why? He didn't know. There were some people talking about this trip to... somewhere to do something and he was surprisingly instigated. Not about meeting the people that were going, but to get to see and know more about creatures and whatnot. This and learning about Herbology were his top priorities whenever he wasn't doing anything Potions-related, because these subjects all related to one another, in his opinion.
If there was a chance to learn more about possible ingredients, then he'd do it. Absolutely. So there he was.
...
Unknown people... everywhere. Not good. Derek did not appreciate that. So he tried to keep in mind what he was bound to discover and see and... tried his best to forget about all of those people in front of him. Awkward.
Ella was pleased to see someone that didn't belong to her department show up. A smile lit up her face as the man approached the group. "Good morning, I'm Ella Wellington, the Creatures Department Head." She held her hand out for him to shake and introduce himself, wondering which department he was from. Text Cut: Mrs. Leroy Quote:

She didn't know why but something inside of her felt really excited about this trip. As if this was the place to be! And this new sensation of the joy of learning had recently taken over her; something she didn't even know she had.
Pregnancy was weird.
Er, right. She should say something. Yep. "Er, hello everyone!" she said, trying to smile sweetly while her mind jumped to the word 'goblins', "Sorry about the delay Miss..." What was her name again? "Miss Department Head." She was sure she had known what her name was but eh. Whatever. It would hit her again later and then she could just pretend she had known it all along. Smooooooooooth, she was.
The brunette smiled once more before moving off to one side of the group, her eyes casting around at all the people who were going to be going on the field trip as well. She hardly knew any of them. None. NOPE. Although, her brain did seem to recognise some of them from their faces. Hopefully they had a better job at recognising her because, you know, she was fabulous. Hair!flip.
She set her backpack down and started rubbing the bottom of her back. Uncomfortable with seeing someone rubbing at their backache? GOOD.
Well, somebody was certainly excited to be here. Amy had always been one of Ella's most... interesting employees. And... she would leave her thoughts at that. "Mrs. Leroy," she addressed the woman by her married name. "I've been your department head for two years now, I do think you should know my name." Think about it, dear. It really wasn't that hard.

But that didn't mean she wasn't looking forward to getting to spend the day outdoors! For that was something Laurel REALLY enjoyed doing. Actually the weather outside would've been a perfect day for her to take out her dogs, oh how Laurel was missing them already! She would definitely be sure to give them all of the extra spoiled love she could when she got home!
Laurel walked into the room where the letter had said to meet up before the mission took off. By the looks of it, it seemed she was one of the last to arrive, Oops! A bright smile plastered upon her sunny face and she waved eagerly,"Sorry, I'm late!" She then added on,"How's everyone doing?" Her blue eyes took a brief scan around the room at everyone who was there. As she thought about it, she didn't really know too many people in her department, which was odd, because she loved meeting people! Maybe after this mission, maybe she'd make a new friend? Who knows!
With her rucksack hung over her shoulder she made her way over to a table placing it down. She stretched her arms out a little bit and then looked down seeing her boot was untied. Kneeling down quickly, she tied the laces making sure they were tight enough to untie.
And there was the sweet Laurel that Ella was fond of. Always in a good mood, she noticed. "You're right on time, dear, don't worry." They were just about ready to go! Quote:

Believe her, she would know.
After glancing at her watch one more time and around the level to make sure no one else was coming, Ella spoke up loud and clear for everyone to hear. "Alright, everyone, listen up! Before we get out there today, we need to go over a few rules. They're pretty basic and pretty simple, but still important." She gave looks to everyone, just to make sure they were paying attention. "First off, we're going to stick together at all times, unless I say so. Don't ever leave the group without my specific permission. Second, have respect for nature and the creatures that inhabit it. Do not attack, provoke, or scare the animals. You are guests in their home, so you may approach them on their terms. Unless, of course, they attack you first, which they won't, unless you disturb them." So, basically, just be smart and you'll keep all your body parts. "Now, if we don't have any questions, I'll need everyone to grab onto this sweater." Ella reached down and grabbed the lovely portkey off of the floor and held it out for everyone to grab onto. "We have just a couple minutes, so if you have any questions, ask them now." |
