No one had called him over to be their teammate, and he didn't blame them. He was the acting kid. Not the cooking kid. But he had learnt early because Mama wasn't the most talented in the kitchen. She had somehow set fire to rice once. The choice was in his hands. Go at this solo, or claim a colleague.
...
...... Was that Miss Sophie Brown (of Hogwarts) free?
No partner?
Taking a deep breath, Rooney straightened up and made his way towards her. He tried to play it cool, or as cool as he could, and nudged her carefully with his elbow. None of that tugging on her arm or clothes thing. If he was going to be a prefect one day, then he had to be responsible and an adult about all things. Including the girl he was modelling his future wife on. Moral wise. "Miss Sophie Brown," of Hogwarts... "I, Rooney Bronwyn, request your companionship in our common-room-slash-kitchen. Please and thank you." And for good measure, he smiled up at her.
And then mumbled the answer to Professor Tanner's question, just as an older Ravenclaw answered it aloud.
Almost.
Mumbling. Why were they always mumbling? She wasn't as old as Abraham, but she wasn't exactly a freshly reborn phoenix, either. Tiara couldn't help but shudder as she remembered the unfortunate aging incident that had sent her on a hiatus from Hogwarts. But she snapped herself out of her reverie and merely nodded to Rooney in an absentminded manner. Quote:

The fifth year RUSHED over, absolutely excited. He hadn't paid that much attention during the sorting and he had completely forgotten that the previous Headmistress' SON was now at Hogwarts! Stopping right in front of the boy Kyroh wrapped his arms around him (don't worry the paint was dry) and LIFTED him up. "HI DAVIE!!!! I'm glad you're a Ravenclaw!!!" REALLY! He WAS! Mental note! She'd have to ensure Anastasia that her boy was indeed acclimating well. It appeared that he already had a friend! Text Cut: Daxton, whom Tiara has no idea how to help Quote:

Not counting Suri, of course, who only had a very basic grasp of the language.
The moment it did register, Daxton hesitated. Why did she want to help him? He didn't quite trust her, or her as-yet-unknown motives. But at the same time... she could sign, and so was potentially useful. He balanced these things up in his mind as he glanced back at the teachers. Especially the woman who... ignored him completely.
Well then.
Mood darkening, Daxton shoved his notebook forcefully back in his school bag and turned again to the girl who'd signed at him, before signing his response.
'I can hear fine. And I just want to leave.'
In fact, he could hear a little too well, but that was neither the point nor the current problem. Daxton had already made up his mind, in any case; he wouldn't be sticking around. He was uncomfortable and tired and, in his mind, the entire 'bonding' charade was totally pointless.
Thank goodness for Rea. Tiara really had no clue what was going on. At all. He didn't appear to have trouble hearing, but maybe he had trouble with his speech somehow? Tiara resolved to speak with Rea and Leobald as soon as she could. But for now, she chose to simply introduce Rea to the boy. Taking a few steps in his direction, she indicated the older girl and said simply, " This is Rea, and I'm Professor Tanner. Let me know if you need anything." Then she backed away, not wishing to intrude on.. whatever it was they were saying to each other. Text Cut: Austin Quote:
Originally Posted by keepmeclose22 Austin's nerves grew as he realized no one was going to come up to him to be his partner. He wanted to ask around, but it seemed that a lot of people had paired up already. Maybe if he got started, someone would want to join him. His cheeks reddened. He hoped that was the case.
Looking around on the table, he realized most of his peers were going to make a dinner, or some sort of appetizer dish. But to be honest, Austin had no clue how to cook chicken or saute vegetables. What he did know how to do was bake. It was something he had picked up after his mother died, and oddly enough, it came easily to him. Mixing the ingredients... it was almost like potion making. Everything had to be precise. He thought about making cupcakes... but making enough of those for everybody would be a struggle, and he didn't want to use all of the items. Maybe a pie? A pie was too simple. He wanted to think outside the box and impress his fellow Ravenclaws. He could make Cinnamon rolls. His mom used to make delicious cinnamon rolls with Strawberries inside every Christmas morning. Since his mother passed away, he tried to make them. They were never the same, but they were still delicious.
He pulled over a mixing bowl, a whisk, and the strawberries. He put the fruit in the bowl, and started mashing them together. As he was mixing, he decided to answer Prof. Tanners question. He might as well make himself known. "Haggis is made from Sheep. It's actually made inside the Sheep's stomach, isn't it?"
" Right you are, indeed!" Perhaps she needed to ask harder questions! But.. before she spent too much time thinking about that, that strawberry mixture looked delicious. She leaned over and sniffed. " I think I'll have to have some of that when you're done!" She loved strawberries!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time for the next question! "Question two! What veggie is the main ingredient in stovies?" They had been on the menu just last night for the Feast, so hopefully that would help trigger some memories. OOC: If you're still looking for a partner, it looks like keepmeclose22, Saz Hale, the fastest seeker, fire faerie, griffin, and Daydreamer11 could still use someone!
