SPOILER!!: Brooklyn and Angel Quote:

Angel then suddenly saw Zander, who seemed distracted and wanted to get away from talking to her, which was strange and weird right, then she suddenly remembered about things that had happened. "Zander you okay?" Angel now had to think about how to handle this.
Angel then smiled at Benny as he took hold of her hand and she smiled at him. "Hey Benny, I missed you." Angel wanted this trip to get started already, Benny could tell her everything that was going on and she could speak to Adi about a few things right, and she had both her sisters around which was going to be amazing and great.
Angel then turned to the Professor and smiled, she had been wanting to ask this since she had gotten here but she had forgotten. "So Professors, if we find this loch ness monster, do we get to name him?" Angel totally had the best name for a Loch Ness Monster..
The Slytherin had acknowledged his nod and Benny took that as progress. An improvement from simply being climbed on to escape the flood waters. Not that he was interested on focusing too much of his attention on someone who wasn't interesting in dealing that much attention on him. Angel however apparently approved of his small gesture, smiling at him in response. "I missed you too." It was odd when one didn't see someone almost everyday for a few weeks when they were used to doing so for several months out of the year.
As for Loch Ness Monster...
"Doesn't it already have a name?" Nessie or something like that? Or did he have the Loch Ness monster confused with something else? He thought it fit...Loch Ness...Nessie...but he could be wrong.

Although he really ought to have opted to change into his wetsuit rather than wear it under his freshly pressed baby blue suit. But in the, ahem, adventures of the morning it had just seemed like the best solution. However constricting it was at the moment. Having left their home with nothing but knots in his stomach, Airey had hoped that presence of students would put his anxieties at ease...but it only seemed to intensify as he looked upon each of their faces. Those youthful and highly impressionable faces.
Shaking his head and rubbing the back of his neck, the Astronomy professor reached into his backpack for a packet of space ice cream - mint chocolate chip, for anyone who cared to know - and quickly tore into it. He had been working with muggle children all summer at the National Space Centre, with a few wizarding youths thrown into the mix, and may have splurged a bit on some of the goods in the gift shop. Just a bit. Ahem.
Allowing the freeze dried deliciousness to melt in his mouth, he took one last deep breath. "Hello hello!" he roared in greeting. "Stellar day for a bit of a swim, isn't it?" Saluting students as he went, the astronomer went to stand near Leobald and Javy. "Good day, gentlemen," he saluted, the knots tightening in his stomach again. A field trip without Medea....and her alone in their home wishing to extend their family tree even further. Sweet solstice what was he going to come home to?! "Travel in three groups, is it? Portkey for the each of us?"
This was going to help his stomach soooooooooooooo much.

He just hoped he actually saw some cool things as well as maybe finding some new ingredients for his potion collection. That would be great. Looking over his shoulder he saw Emmy coming, well if Emmy was there he knew his girl would be right behind.
"Sup Emmy" He gave her a smile as she come up beside him. He glanced at her hand and then was distracted by her words, "I haven't, was hoping you did." His brown eyes moved around, she was around here somewhere, he knew she got on the train. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Yep you found me." Though he wasn't that hard to find, he didn't think at least.
Just as he was going to say something else he heard another voice and felt her arm around him. "Hey babe" He grinned and moved his arm. "We were wondering where you were. Though maybe you partied too much at the reception and were sleeping on the train. " He was glad he didn't have to make the effort to go back through the train looking for her. Though he would have if needed. "Think we'll be getting started soon?" They were traveling by portkey, right?
Looking at the librarian a little funny for a moment, it was just an odd question to ask someone, but he found it humorous as well. "Yes sir, of course I brought my swimwear. Wouldn't want to be the only one without any." He might have snickered a bit, but he didn't, he just kept a straight face, "I would never leave home without my wand, I'll be ready to use it if needed. You can count on me." Giving the man a bit of a salute to show he was ready to get to their adventure.
He noticed Aegis a bit away and gave him a nod back. Funny how things change as you get older. He use to call Aegis a great friend, but something lately was off. Bart wasn't trusting of him as much anymore, so he didn't just go over. No the nod was fine.
Seeing another nod he looked towards Abbi, he knew she had come as well. They had talked about their summer plans. Nodding back, "Sup Abbi." He couldn't help but pull his arm around Cinna more as he grinned towards the Gryffindor. It was just a way they had with each other really.
As his eyes scanned the area, he couldn't help but remember what Cutty had come to him about with Sophie. His brain went to that, but was distracted seeing Zander make some eye contact, his smirk was on his face. "Sup Zander, having a good summer so far." See people he could be nice. He didn't ask jokingly if he had any plans to get anyone eaten. So he was in his eyes being nice.
Hearing his name he turned and smile, there were only a slim few people that got a Bart real smile and his long time best friend was one of them. "Sup Brynny, you ready to go on this adventure." At least that's what everyone was calling it. He was hoping something exciting would happen, but he wouldn't get his hopes up either. He was here to find something epic and potion ingredients that was about it.
Seeing Grayson come into view, giving a nod as he greeted them, "aw nothin, sup with you?" They were all pretty much just standing around waiting. "Doing anything cool this summer, well other then this?" He didn't know why but all the people made him wish Nemo was around. He wasn't big on the crowds, this term he really felt he liked keeping to himself more so this was just enough for him to deal with.
Hearing Benny's greeting the sixteen year old looked his way, "Hows your summer so far?" He could be social when he wanted to be, heck he was even in a pretty good mood. He was sure Cossy wasn't coming on this trip so he would be fully parent free and that hadn't been since his mother married his potion professor a year and a half ago.
Well she seemed excited now didn't she? "You ready for the trip I see." Seemed like most of them were at least. Seeing Flamsteed show up Bart assumed it was almost time to go, which was fine by him it was getting a bit crowded here.
Seeing a dude seeming to be alone, Bart nodded his way. "Sup dude" He could be cool and talk to strangers, he wasn't scared. "Think we'll be getting going soon?" Knowing the boy was Ravenclaw and maybe a year younger, Bart figured he was excited. Most of the younger ones probably were since it was the first time they were getting to even go.
"It's been good," he admitted truthfully. Not that he usually had anything to complain about his summers. Though he supposed he wished his birthday was happening sooner since he felt like everyone else his year was already on the right side of 16. After this trip...and the camp and right before school began would have to soon enough it seemed, like it always was. "How about yours?"
Oh look...Flamsteed was also going to be going on the trip. This was going to be great given the three chaperones' identities, his head of house another of his favorite people or rather staffers. "Good morning, Professor," he greeted with a polite smile.

"Miss Brown.." He merely smirked in her direction. It was good to see this one in good spirits.
"Hello Miss Adara." Returning the grin.
"Good day, Mr. Atreyu. All set for the trip?"
"Good morning Mr. B." Since they were suddenly on the first letter of one's own surname basis this morning.
"Good day, Mr. Rehman."
"Good morning Miss Andrews. All set for the trip?"
"Mr. Mordaunt." Curtly nodding back at him.
He returned the nod curtly, "Good to see you again, Mr. Maroon." It wasn't that long ago since he had first sat in his own class.
Goodness.. As the breathless Ravenclaw had arrived, Javier merely took his wand to flick towards her throat. Opening her airway more, before smiling kindly at her, "Oh no, you're just in time Miss Edayson." If she was truly late, there would've been no one here at all.
"Good morning, Miss Rhys-Davies."
"Mr. Whitlock." Curtly returning his nods.
Interesting question, "If we're allowed to keep him, then I don't see why not." Now that's only if it were willing to leave its own home.
"Hello, Miss Lynch. All set for the upcoming week?"
"Good day, Miss Bayless."
Ah, one of his best male friends had arrived. "Morning, Star Man." That treat of his did look might tastey, but he could wait on getting one of his own. "How's Medea?" Inquiring curiously beforehand.
Nodding at Leo, " Indeed.. it would help if they were each a little larger." Oh well. Smiling a little at Airey, " Three groups should just about do it then." Checking the time, it was close to "go time" now. Professor Thompson started to gather his bag before casting a temporarily Sonorous Charm to gain everyone's attention.
" Alright everyone. It's nearly time." Waiting until everyone had gotten their attention before continuing, " In just a few moments we're going to be on the lookout for three items. Until then, please group up with Mr. Kitridge, Professor Flamsteed or myself before we depart." Now it was only the waiting game left. Better gather your things everyone. Quote:

When each student with their luggage had chosen which staffer to travel with, it didn't take many minutes before the air started to shimmer and three objects appeared out of thin air and dropped to the ground. The enlarged portkeys included a black car tire, a colourful umbrella and an orange blanket. The tire landed in front of Professor Thompson’s group while Professor Flamsteed got the umbrella and Mr Kitridge got the blanket.
Unfastening his wand Leo put the sonorous spell on his voice as he urged on the students. "We must move quickly everyone! Portkeys don’t wait for stragglers! Grab on to the portkeys, if there is little room just one finger on the portkey will suffice, and whatever you do don’t lose track of your belongings."
When everyone had gotten ahold of the port keys it didn't take long before they felt that unmistable tugging sensation as the portkeys worked their strong magic. In a matter of moments the whole field trip group had been transportated across the country to their desitination.
OOC:Loch Ness here we come! Everyone choose which staffer your student want to travel by portkey with to the loch and post here. After posting here you are free to post in the newly created rp thread for the summer field trip located in the Vanishing Cabinet of the Knockturn Alley forum. I suggest subscribing and then let's have FUN!
Alas, they were to be on their way soon enough. First Professor Thompson told them to keep an eye out for three items. Portkeys just like the sign-up had mentioned and just like they had used to go on the Space Center field trip with Flamsteed not too long ago. Benny let his gaze pass around in search of anything interesting that might pass for what they needed as he absently adjusted his belongings on his shoulder.
Since he was closest to the creatures professor, the Gryffindor opted to stay with the man, and the tire portkey that appeared. The incoming sixth year letting go of Angel's hand so they could move separately. Ben took hold of the hire and awaited the tugging sensation, disappearing with the rest of his group as the portkey pulled them towards their destination.
