Hogwarts RPG Name: Henrietta J. Han Slytherin Fourth Year Gryffindor | SPOILER!!: Yves! Quote:

At Stemp House, this meant a lot of wandering aimlessly but energetically between rooms and hassling the staff for a trip to Diagon Alley. More often than not, he found his wish granted, or at least found that there was already a trip he could tag along with. It wasn't until today, when he'd been asked directly by one of the care workers how it could be that he didn't have all his supplies yet, with all his trips to London, that Yves remembered he had any supplies to get at all.
So, even though the quill and ink shop was not the first place he'd have directed himself to, Yves headed that way - mostly because today's chaperone had literally turned him and nudged him in this direction. After he got new ink, though, he'd be off to do whatever happened to take his fancy.
Yves was barely inside the shop, however, when his attention was diverted by someone speaking. Quietly, but definitely speaking, and apparently to no one. He recognised the speaker from school; they'd been sorted in the same batch, and into the same house, though this girl was in the year below him. A dorm mate of Phoebe, then.
Taking the quiet mutterings as his cue, Yves approached and followed the girl towards the huge array of ink bottles lined up on the shelves, where he stood beside her. "Colour-changing ink, yes, that one would be fun," he said at once in his thick French accent, smiling wide and pointing at the ink in question. Not that she'd asked him anything, or said anything he'd might have been responding to. He'd just seen the expression of 'deep thought' and made his assumptions about what she could be deliberating over, and promptly dispensed with any and all context. "Or scented, though I am guessing it depends on the scent, no?"
Oh yes, and: "Hello!" Startled a bit, Etta jumped a little and turned to the person next to her. Unaware he might’ve overheard the young girl’s monologue. He seemed kind and welcoming so Etta returned the smile. ”It does look very fun!” Etta beamed, ”Though, the scented is rather interesting too.” Tough choice. Tough choice. ”The invisible ink is also a contender!” The youngling mischievously smiled. ”Imagine all the notes one could exchange. Top secret.” Etta giggled.
Oh right! ”Hello!” Etta beamed. The young girl couldn’t not recall if she interacted with the young boy, housemate. Introductions were in order! ”I’m Etta.” Henrietta politely bowed and smiled. "Which would you pick?" She nodded towards the inks. |
