Perhaps she could help forge bonds? Why not! She certainly wasn't going to spend her time here on the sidelines.
Following the Dragon Commissioner's lead, the red head stood by his side and smiled. "I think I'll help with Bandit too, hope you don't mind!" Surely he wouldn't say no to a helping hand! "And why not start by having the kids introduce themselves!" What a wonderful idea, yeah?
"Those first and second year students, over here please!" In case they'd missed Mrs. Clark's assignments due to excitement. "Please, let's start by introducing yourselves. I'm sure the dragon commissioner wants to know who he has the pleasure of working with! Besides Bandit, I mean!" Harmony let out a little giggle!snort and then looked at the students cheerfully. Go on!
...
She didn't have to call him Professor? Ella smiled sheepishly and nodded her head, not knowing what to say about that. Should she thank him or? Oh gosh. Stop being awkward, Ella. I yi yi.
But wait! She wasn't working with him or Chris or Mordred? Not that this was the end of the world but still. She was going to be on her own. Well with Nigel which was nice but the guy had distracting hair and Williamson was going to be all the way over there. Sad days. Sad days indeed.
Eyeing the dragon commissioner curiously, the twenty year old headed over to stand by him. She was looking forward to being around such influential people and really, the thought of working with a younger dragon was quite appealing to her. Just thinking about it like that put her in a better mood, even if the red head was making her a bit nervous. Just a bit.
"Hi! Um...I'm Ella Bishop. I'm a second year student at Edinburgh and I'm just happy to be here." ...Oh gosh, that sounded so lame. Somebody else go, please. Quote:

Léopold gave him a slight smile. "Oui. I am a first year creatures student." And at how excited he was about this, he might just switch to dragonology full time.
Léo plopped into the spot she'd patted. It was better than being completely alone here. Even if he hardly knew this girl. Was still better than nothing.
"No problem 'ere. Was just going to ask you the same thing." At least they were on the same page on this one.
Léo looked away from Charlotte as the seminar started. His eyes lit up as the woman (he'd already forgotten her name) talked about the kinds of dragons they had. And they were crossbreeds. Now he was even more excited. Just dragons.
Then there was a pretty red headed woman speaking. Now that he knew where he was going, he just wanted to go see the dragon. Also the fact that he was in the group with the juvenile meant it would be more likely to be able to pet it. Maybe even scratch it's belly. Avery would kill him if she knew what he was thinking. He had no intentions of getting eaten...but his current thoughts might lead him down that route.
Léo turned to Charlotte, knowing that they would be in the same group. "Let's go then." He got up without even waiting. Yes he was excited.
He walked over to where Mr. Adara was and gave him the most excited, dopiest grin...mainly because it was permanently stuck on his face at this point. "Bonjour monsieur. Léopold Bouchard but you can call me Léo." He felt an introduction was necessary. Quote:

Hopefully that didnt show, cause that wasnt professional...and this was a seriously big chance. Jesus. Thankfully she hadnt thought about that too much, otherwise she'd be freaking out.
And then it started. The seminar finally started. Listening to the other students introduce themselves she let her eyes wander through the room. Maybe she could find a way to remember all of their names....doing that she almost missed her turn." I am Charlotte Erikson, WU Moscow", the brunette said giving her best smile,"a harness is used for secure flying on the dragon, if one cant secure the harness they cant fly on it. Also i might be wrong but as far as i know harnesses are part of young dragons training. It gives them freedom and it gives the trainer control at the same time. " Something like that. Quote:

Just he did want to be in the Bunny group. At least he knew a tiny bit about that dragon. And was that Mordred there. Man this was nostalgia station right now. Well after seeing that Colin and Jake were here. Probably just watching in amusement and hoping we got burned or something. Which Nigel would so be doing also. He walked on over to the Adara guy.
"So Mr. A. What is the first thing we have to do?...and i am Nigel Barrington."
Nigel was not pursuing Dragonology like Mordred or some other people. So questions will be asked.
He does not want to be Colin's amusement for the day. The dragon commissioner was glad that Harmony decided to tag along with him and the younger kids. Already Tancred could tell that William would be just fine on his own with his group of students. It made sense; his friend had been a professor at Hogwarts. He, on the other hand, had no teaching experience. But he did have years and years of experience at the Welsh Dragon Reserve under his belt. The man gave his boss a smile when she joined the Bandit group. An extra pair of eyes to make sure the students didn't get eaten by a young dragon.
Speaking of students, Harmony had already called them over and got them to introduce themselves. Excellent. Now for the task of not forgetting their names. There was Ella, Léo, Charlotte, and Nigel. Easy enough to remember, right? Hopefully.
"It is a pleasure having you all here today. There can never be enough dragon lovers out there," Tancred responded, pulling on his dragon hide gloves. The students were old enough to know that they needed to follow his example, right? "My name is Tancred Adara. Feel free to call me Tancred if you'd like. I am the current dragon commissioner at the Ministry of Magic. Before that, I worked at the dragon reserve in Wales for thirteen years. And this is Harmony Skylark, head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures."
He paused to let that sink into the young minds staring at him and then got around to answering the question one of the boys (that was Nigel, yes?) had. "Well, we can all start by putting on our dragon hide wear if you haven't done so already. We don't want any of you getting any nasty cuts or burns. When we get closer to Bandit, remember not to make any sudden movements or loud noises. Try to avoid his head or anything pointy." Common sense, right?
"Our first activity with Bandit is giving him some much needed exercise. From what I hear, he's a rather hyper young dragon. We will need to get a harness on him first, though. So, how do we get a harness on a dragon? Any good techniques that you know of?"
