 Mentions of Grace, Norah, Henric, Abby, Katerina, Brady, and the Fat Friar. ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
It was getting a little harder to know what was going on at the table because there were so many conversations going on around her, but Esme was trying her hardest to keep up with everything that was happening.
Looking around, she spotted a familiar girl having a conversation with a boy she had seen around in classes but hadn't properly talked to before. "Hey, Grace," she said waving. Hopefully she wasn't really interrupting anything.
It was nice to see that Norah had a good summer. "I did too! I can't say that I had any exciting adventures, but we DID go to the beach a lot." That was always exciting. "Did you have any adventures?" She had a feeling that it was mostly the Gryffindors who had THOSE. Oh well; they were more than welcome to have them! She preferred stuff like looking for wildflowers and tie-dying everything she could find. Too bad her mom had put a stop to it before it got too extreme.
Henric had worked part-time. That was pretty interesting. Esme had never held a job because she was young, but soon enough she would! She had no interest in the kind of thing her father did, so she would not be asking to help him catch Dark Wizards. She wouldn't have been allowed to even if she HAD. "Don't get that idea in Juno's head," she joked with a laugh. No, really she enjoyed hearing her sister sing. She could be the life of the party.
"I had a great summer, thanks." She smiled at Abby. She was glad to be back at school with her friends, but she did always loved being with her family during the summer. At least now she got a break from River. "Do you not know many people in your House?" she asked as she heard Abby mention that it had been lonely at her House table. Nothing wrong with wanting company from Hufflepuffs because they were so friendly.
Everyone loved Hufflepuff. Except for Brady? Maybe?
Esme could hear him and Henric. She felt that it might be a good idea to diffuse the situation, but a girl (Katerina) came by and it seemed to do the trick. "Hello, Kat. Welcome to Hufflepuff." Seemed that Brady was rather excited; they must be best friends. She turned her attention back to him and giggled.
"We are not clones, but we DO share the same DNA." It was different than how it was with twins like Teddy and Ava - obviously they didn't have the same DNA. She wasn't sure how much she wanted to talk genetics with him, because it was a very complicated and confusing subject and she barely knew anything about it. Science wasn't exactly her thing. "It might not seem that people are friendly at first, but I assure you that there are many nice people in all the Houses - even our own."
Just look at the Fat Friar! He was the friendliest ghost around!
She smiled as he was polite to her and Juno. "It's nice to meet you too, Sir." Was that too formal? Esme was about to answer his question when it seemed he had worked it out on his own. Shaking her head, she glanced over at the madness that was the Staff Table. Seemed that NO ONE wanted to have her around. Not even the Friar seemed pleased and that said something! But....Divination Professor?? Was her fear becoming a reality? "Can we call the Ministry and have her evicted?" she lamented to the ghost.
The Hag COULDN'T teach her favourite subject! She wanted Professor Cassie back more than ever.
Miserable, she tried - and failed - to listen as the Headmistress addressed the school. She stood up when asked to and did what was asked of her, but she was not in the mood. The old bat had ruined that for her.
Nothing could make things worse...except for cold rain.
Quickly she ducked under the table so that she could avoid becoming freezing and wet. She knew that Juno would join her.
Who brought umbrellas to dinner? Flamsteed was nuts. |
