As he walked into the building? He saw a few people and waved at them. "Hey everyone." HI DID THEY SEE HIM! HE WAS HERE* Speaking of seeing people he saw his best friend and headed over.
"Hey Henry! Having fun yet?" He hadn't been that was for sure. He was just too nervous about this singing thing. What if his voice was horrible and they couldn't use it at all. That would not be good and he would be told to go home because he couldn't sing. Quote:

"Hi, Professor!'' Adi bounded over, signature grin in place. Ohh looky! FAMILIAR PEOPLE! "Henny! Henry! Remy! Hey, guys!'' And there were the unfamiliar ones whom he didn't know but grinned at. Since he was here, he wondered if Lux was coming. She hadn't told him anything and he had quite forgotten to ask her. Ooops. He was a bad best friend. Heh. Quote:

But he soon turned his eyes away from the guy as a few more Hufflepuffs arrived. He gave them 'hellos' or acknowledging nods, but his eyes soon focused on the quickly approaching boy, soon recognizing the figure.
"Remy! You made it!" Henry grinned at him, glad one of his best friends was there. Sure, he probably could have had fun with the other Puffs present because his house was the greatest and he was friends with pretty much everyone, but it would be even better with Remy. "Couldn't wait to get here, huh?" he joked a little since he was racing to make it to the group. But his smile faded just a bit as the other boy tried to catch his breath. "You okay? Maybe a drink of water?" But he didn't see any refreshments around just then since they were outside the building.
And then at his other side, his other best friend appeared. "Hey, Benton," he grinned. "Sure! I'm pretty excited, aren't you?" Even if he wasn't sure what this music thing was exactly about, he was happy to be with his friends and they were going to Ireland! Oh, and was that Adi? Cool! Henry gave him a grin and wave.
It wasn't much longer till it was time to go and his eyes fell on the rusty horseshoe. Eh. He knew somewhere in the back of his head that they'd be taking a portkey, but they weren't his favorite. "You guys ready?" He looked to his friends on either side of him, hoping that Remy was feeling better now, and grabbed a hold of the horseshoe before getting pulled away.
He had used enough portkeys in his young life to land without stumbling, though he usually had some nausea. It was nice that he didn't have any today though, even if he did have to pause a moment to get his bearings. But he looked up quickly at the farting noise to see... so many balloons and a sort of crazy lady. Cool.. were they meant to do something with the balloons? Henry grabbed one closest to him and bopped it up into the air. Text Cut: 2 x Paul Posts Quote:

It was indeed a PARTAY and Paul was very excited.
"Well hello everyone! It is lovely to see you all today! As you can see, I asked Beatrice if she would like to come because I MISS her..." duh. "And Adi, of course." King of Hufflepuff, obvi. Paul wasn't even a TRUE Hufflepuff so he sort of felt like a sham a lot of the time, but he also felt like maybe over the years he had evolved INTO a Hufflepuff? Who knew. Maybe he'd have to give the hat another go.
"The portkey should be leaving any moment now--" and getting portkeys from that terrible lady in Transportation had been awfully scary. He made Milton ask and stuff. Ugh. The portkey was a horseshoe, old and rusty. It was like the woman had gone out of her way to give Paul the worst portkey ever (and let's be honest, Lynley probably had).
Ahem.
"So if everyone will put their hand on this--it'll pull us off in a moment. I am going to leave Mark behind with some floo powder to arrive in ten minutes...for any stragglers. Got it, Mark?" he asked with a smile in his friend's direction. Mark nodded, and Paul cleared his throat. "OKAY--" he glanced at his watch. "Now in three.......two....." And before Paul had gotten to one (he was a second off, oops?) the portkey jerked them all forward and a second later...
TWISTED PAPER MUSIC.
Paul let go of the used portkey, letting it fall to the ground, and was surprised to see the room filled with...
BALLOONS.
Pearl, the very old lady, looked shocked to see them so soon. She had been in the middle of blowing up a balloon and quickly let it deflate with a loud...fart noise. "PAUL I DON'T HAVE MY TEETH IN--" she cried, and for a very old woman, she scurried into the other room quickly.
Paul flushed and...turned to look at his badgers. You couldn't stop anywhere without touch a balloon...and knowing Pearl....."Er, Pearl? Did you put surprises in the balloons again?"
Pearl's cry sent a PANIC through Paul. "YES!"
Well. "Welcome to..Twisted Paper Music everyone...I'm sorry...Pearl--" he lowered his voice. "Is a little--" and he made the crazy sign beside his ear.
OOC: If you still want to post and have not yet, go right ahead! Meet up with us there with Mark xD *loves you all though* Quote:

Well.
When Max stepped on a balloon, Paul had to cover his ears, because what sounded like a piano ORGAN in a very looooow Dooooh-note rang out but it was LOUD.
"GAH--Pearl!" he cried out, and the old woman quickly shuffled into the room. "Are there.........music notes in these?" he asked.
Pearl nodded. "Yes sir! Music notes in all of 'em! And as we pop 'em, the notes record on that paper---" she grinned toothily. "I thought it'd be how you could write the music with the kiddies!" she wore a jingly bracelet that, as she spoke, she shook around. She stepped on a balloon, producing a VERY high LAAA note. This time, it was done with what sounded like a banjo.
Paul sighed. "Well...I guess that is...fun..." he looked around at his students. "I guess we...can...pop all the balloons...? And the notes will record themselves........."
O_o
"If you all want to, that is..since Pearl was......nice enough to do this for us." HOW WEIRD WAS THIS? Paul stepped on another balloon...and another DOH note happened.
Well then. He glanced at Beatrice and just...shook his head. "Let's pop sone balloons!"
****
Mark was waiting for any stragglers when he spotted the small boy. He smiled warmly. "Hi there! Of course--I'll give you some floo powder and you can go right in!" he handed the boy some. "Just go right into the Leaky...and say, very clearly, "Twisted Paper Music!" and you should swoop right in!"
And he would wait some more. Remy laughed breathily and shook his head at his best friend. ”’M fine. Mum dropped me off waaaaaay at the other side of the Alley as Dad got held up at work and he was meant to take me here… and I got stuck behind a tour group or something…” Lots and lots of people all huddled together across the Alley hadn’t made it easy to get past them at all! ”So when I did finally get past, I ran all the way here so that I would miss you all… I wasn’t sure if it was like the train and if you missed the time, you missed the ride?”
With a grin, the Welsh boy sent a wave around Henry towards Benton. This day was going to be awesome. As he looked up and around the ground, his eyes found Adi and he gave him a wave. Man, was Marsha going to be jealous that he had been able to spend the whole day with one of her favourite people EVER. Smirking a little before he sighed and shook his head, he continued looking around the group. Sending out a few waves here and there, especially to Professor Meyers and Professor York.
Laughing, Remy nodded at Henry. ”Yes! Let’s do this!” Looping his pinky finger around the horse-shoe, he waited on baited breath for the horrible sensation that he knew would come. Taking a deep breath he tried not to feel like he was suffocating as they got pulled from London to Ireland! How cool was that? Though… he could do without the dizziness on landing… that would have been good.
His eyes went wide as a loud, low note rung through the room as one of the older boys stood on a balloon. What. The. Heck. In. Merlin’s. Beard?!!?!?!?
Looking sharply around the room, the almost third year, looked for some form of explanation to the musical note only for their Head of House to pipe up that they… should burst the balloons to make music?
……………
Well… It was what they were here for… Right?
Picking up the closest purple balloon, Remy took his house keys from his pocket before stabbing a small hole in it which let out a long violin played high e/ high fi sound. He laughed, eyes lighting up happily, as he grinned at his fellow house mates. How awesome was this?
