Turning away from the food... SIGH...the snakette headed over to Professor Airey and Austin and Noelle. "Good morning Professor, are you adopting out more Pet Rocks," she asked happily tucking her hands into the pocket of her hoodie where Elvis just so happening to be sleeping. Just because he wasn't always visible didn't mean she didn't have him with her.

Glancing at Austin and Noelle she gave the two of them small nods and a slight grin. "Are you both going to adopt one?" They were really easy to care for and made awesome starter pets and such.

"I don't mind at all." He didn't have much of a preference, he would love any one of them. He watched as... Miss Summers was it?... held the large rock. It was rather large, and she was rather small. But she was probably a first or second year, so she still had time to grow. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked down at Pebbles. It was cute how she was on her little leash, being pulled along behind the professor. The boy waved to her.

While the exchange was going down, Austin looked around at the gathering. There were a few house elves, and almost every professor. There were students as well, all eating and talking. Hopefully not at the same time. His stomach growled, asking for more food. So he obliged, and grabbed a piece of bacon off his plate. He was never this excited to eat breakfast. Maybe because it was outside.



When he had finished his piece of bacon, a girl, about her age, came up to them. She seemed to also know about the pet rocks. Did she have one? Or was she here to adopt one too? "That's my plan." He grabbed another piece of bacon, dragged it through the syrup that had dripped from the pancakes, and took a bite. This both satisfied his hunger, and gave him an excuse not to talk much. He wasn't exactly a social butterfly, although he was trying.

Strategically moving Rockanne's position in the box - she looked best when the light struck her on her left side - he looked up when he heard another approaching voice. THREE FOR THREE?! COULD IT BE?!

"Good morning, Miss Lynch," he saluted the Slytherin. "I am indeedy. Six very special rocks, to be exact. Although one I do believe has already found its new home." Dwayne Johnson seemed to be rather content, so as long as Miss Summers was sure of her decision it was final. She could sign the documents and be done. He looked over his shoulder at the Ravenclaw. "Perhaps two. Anyone in particular strike your fancy, Mr. Moore?"

Hmmm? He could tell Nephrite seemed to like the young man. It was all in the googly eyes. Roxanne was rather smitten as well.

"How about you Miss Ly---" Oh...no...never mind? Not three for three it seemed as the young woman had gone off to get herself more to eat. Bacon did smell good right about now....but he was sort of in the mood for something a bit more sweet

Pancakes...or waffles? Pancakes. No. Waffles. No. Pancakes. No...

Both?

"Pancakes or waffles, Mr. Hyland?" Since the Gryffindor was looking his direction.

SPOILER!!: Candice

Turning his attention to the young lioness Leo shot her a smile "Good morning Candice! Are you enjoying your classes so far?"

As Cossy arrived behind him Leo commented with a grin as he heard his friends stomach growl just as loudly as his own stomach did. "Eating breakfast at 10am is a bit late don't you think? Maybe it's more of a brunch now?" shaking his head Leo added. "What are you going to get, bacon and eggs?"

SPOILER!!: Benny

Hearing another student say his name Leo turned to smile at yet another lion. "Good morning Benny, don't you think the pancakes look delicious? That's what I'm getting with syrup." Jam would work too but it wasn't the same.

SPOILER!!: Prof Paul

Catching the Paul's hardy wave Leo waved back calling over "Morning Paul, I didn't know you jogged? Do you jog every morning?" If he did maybe Leo could tag along. He needed to start working out again since when he was in the library he sat more than he walked around.

SPOILER!!: Prof Meredith

"Good morning Meredith." Leo greeted his fellow head of house as she made her presence known in the food line. "Are you excited to lead hufflepuff in your first school wide event as their head?"

SPOILER!!: Headmaster B

Turning his head and attention towards the bar as the line moved forward again he said to Botros after surveying the food options. "I'd like a fried egg and two fried strips of bacon." It'd go nicely with a pancake or two and a glass of juice.

SPOILER!!: Austin

It was nice to see everyone happy and eating. Speaking of eating, he was ready to chow down. He grabbed a plate and piled it high with pancakes and bacon. A few sandwiches too. For being 14 years old, he really did eat a lot.

Finally an eagle. Beaming at the fourth year Leo said "Morning Austin, make sure you stock up on food. We will need our strength for what we will be doing later."

SPOILER!!: Prof Tiara

"Morning Tiara." Leo called over and sent her a cheery wave. "Did you usher all the eagles you saw down to the lake?"

SPOILER!!: Prof Beatrice

Turning around to see who had spoken Leo smiled in the direction of his still fairly new colleague "Good morning Beatrice, it is indeed a beautiful fall morning." Pausing to walk a few steps forward he asked "How's classes going? Are the students behaving?"

Botros looked liked a Professional Chef with that Chef Hat. She hoped that his cooking skill was as good as the hat. "I'm doing good too, Sir. Thank you. And I'm quite hungry." And can't wait to taste the foods. The one that she could eat of course. "Do you have something that's not contain any sugars or meats, Sir?"

Looked she got a smile from the handsome Librarian. "Yes. They're fine, Sir." Even though one of the classes made her dizzy. And she had to take an anti-dizziness potion afterwards but its okay.

And she thought the Hufflepuff Prefect was smart enough to understand that she's not in the mood to deal with him apparently she was wrong. "Waiting for the foods." She said in a bored tone while looking at her perfectly manicure nails.

She didn't know Ava knew the Hufflepuff Prefect. Maybe they crossed path somewhere. Not that she cared. "Hi, Ava." Candice gave the younger Lioness a small smile. "You woke up pretty early." She wondered was it because of the promise of the foods she woke up SO early? Probably.

Candice was grabbing a few fruits for herself when she saw Colt arrived. "Hai, Colt!" The Slytherin got a small wave from her. "Yes, its." The food looked really good but unfortunately for her she couldn't eat most of it. "Sure. Just let me grab some fruits first." She should probably asked the Elves whether they have something for vegetarian people like her. "Do you want to grab something first?" He did say the foods looked were amazing, right?

Henric had great expectations for this breakfast event,mainly because...FOOD! He needed to find a good seat, a great view and all the delicious breakfast within reach around him. Oh yaas. He couldn't wait any longer, he was definitely looking forward to this!

Hey! He saw his friends already gathered, brilliant! He walked towards the group but stopped in his tracks when he saw HER. Oh mann... why was the 'haute couture' girl(Candice) with them? Although, he had yet to find the cuplrit who pranked him at the Great Hall a few days ago but suspicions were running high when it came to her.. He tried his best to ignore her presence as best as he could and greeted the rest,"Hello guys, hope you guys having a great breakfast?"he asked everyone (Ava, Adi, Yoongi)

Austin glanced in the box and saw a few of the rocks looking up at him. They were really quite adorable. "Honestly professor, I would be happy taking any of them home." He really would be. But he also felt bad about choosing one of them. What if there was another girl like Noelle? Where she had a specific one in mind? He didn't want to take that from someone. No, he would feel much better if the professor chose one for him.

He was about to respond to Hady when she was already running towards the food. There was no blaming her. The food was amazing, especially the pancakes. He couldn't get enough of them. Speaking of which, he grabbed his plate and began eating his own stack. Merlin's beard these were good.

And now someone else was talking to him. Oh! Mr. Kittridge. "Oh trust me," He began, once he swallowed. "I'm one step ahead!" He held up his plate for him to see. There was still a few slices of bacon, and two or three pancakes left. Whatever they were about to do, Austin was ready. Food wise that was. He turned back to Professor Flamsteed, ready for a pet to join him on his journey.

Colt grinned at Candice and she seemed a bit cheery this morning. I mean he was too if there was food being served, he was always happy. "Sure we can grab some fruit." he said and picking out some strawberries, blueberries, bananas and oranges. It was a good combo. He even grabbed some pancakes and waffles, donuts and cinnamon rolls. Man they had everything, he was gonna be so STUFFED when this is over. He laughed when she asked if he wanted to grab anything. He jokingly said, "I am a dude. I already filled my plate with food." he gestured to his over filling plate. Oh wait he forget eggs and ketchup. He got another plate with eggs and would add ketchup when he sat down. "You just getting fruit?" he asked. That didn't seem like a good breakfast in his opinion.

As he got his plate, he noticed Kate was there too! He saw her talking to another teacher it seemed. He made his way over and cleared his throat and said, "Hey Kate!" and he wondered if she wanted to eat with Candice and him. "Do you want to eat with Candice and I?" He was sure Candice wouldn't mind.

Do not fear, Maggie was here!

Or something like that.

Maggie was here anyway. A little late. Not LATE for the breakfast but later than she'd intended. Dante was probably waiting. But she'd been CONVINCED that her hair still smelled gross even after she'd washed it so many times. Sometimes she just woke up and felt like it was covered in mud-water all over again. It had been a traumatizing experience really. It was haunting her.

After a few moments of looking around she finally spotted Dante over by the buffet (no surprise there really) and walked over to him. Without warning she tapped her fingers against his back. "Morning." Somehow she couldn't get herself to say 'good morning' right now. It wasn't particularly good and having a breakfast picnic outside wasn't really going to help that.

Reaching over to grab a croissant, Maggie then turned around to lean against the table. "Do you know how long this is gonna last?" Meaning when could she go back inside? She glanced around again, nibbling on the croissant.

Damien had opted for a layers and warmth today, he'd been thinking about one of his tweed suits, but it was cold and he wasn't keen on staining it ether, so instead, he'd pulled on a crisp white dress shirt, a dark red sweater, a pair of fitted blue jeans and to top it all of, a freshly cleaned pair of Jordans.

He hadn't stepped up to the food bar yet, it was a dense line and since he hadn't decided if he was even hungry or not, he also hadn't decided if the line was worth wading into.

The Gryffindor didn't see Evie, Benzi, Paris or Cassius or even Nemo around, which was a damn shame because the seventh year was bored out of his mind and way too full of energy to sit quietly by. Maybe they'd pop in soon, Zander was there, but Zander was busy as always... Still Zander got a nod, as did Professor Airey.

Was... The Herbo teacher okay? "Professor, did you... Jog all the way here?" and he was still in his sweaty joggers? Groady, dude, groady.

Yes, he was being …generous, not giving them away because he didn’t like blue berries, yes lets just keep it that way. “I got too many” he said , shrugging his shoulders. He wasn’t going to say that blueberries were disgusting in front of the person who had given them to him! What if the Headmaster had made them himself? He would be insulting his cooking… Yoongi smiled as Adi grabbed a few and then turned to Ava as she took a few as well.

How could anyone like blueberries? He would never find out.

And there she went again with the Flower Boy but this time he was prepared! He had already asked Professor Dakest what it meant and he wasn’t bothered with it anymore. “No problem” oh tall “Ava.” hehe “ Well, I prefer sandwiches and perhaps some bacon and eggs” he answered and grabbed a sandwich as he spoke. “Hi Candice” he also greeted his fellow Gryffindor who had walked to them.

Pancake or waffles, Mr. Hyland? …Mr.Hyland….that was him! The Gryffindor realised that he had been staring in the direction where his Head of House was , thinking about the HORRIBLE AND MEAN class and nearly dropped his sandwich. “Oh! uhm…I don’t know…” he said “Both?” Did the man even know how uncomfortable he was now? Cause he had been trying to NOT get his attention. He was far too scared that FLOATING would happen again.

Luckily, Henric came to the rescue and he could turn his attention away without being rude. “Hey Henric, I know I do” he said and ate the last bit of his sandwich and grabbed an apple.

Grinning widely, Marsha nodded her head. ”I am, I’ve been hungry ever since I got back from my run this morning.” As if to prove her point, her stomach grumbled unhappily and she laughed as she picked up a plate and then began to put food on her plate. Toast and eggs and fruit and blueberry pancakes! Nomnomnom.

As she lifted her head from the food table, she spotted Yoongi coming to get food too. With a wide beaming smile, she waved back with her free hand. ”Morning Yoongi!” She called over to him. ”It’s a lovely morning…” She said with a grin, the breeze was quite nice, she thought… though with a huge jumper like that, maybe Yoongi didn’t think so?

”Morning Ava.” Sha replied with a grin as she slowly finished piling food on her plate ”How are you today?” She asked, smiling at the first year Lioness.

”ADI!” A huge smile crossed her face, even more than usual as her big brother arrived. She even put her plate of food onto the desk so that she could hug him properly. ”Thank you! I don’t think I feel the cold like a lot of the other students.” She said looking at the coats, boots and scarves some of the others had on. ”I think I do better because I run so early in the morning? Maybe? Eh. It made sense.

With another wave, the Lioness welcomed Professor Culloden. ”Morning Professor. How are you today? Smiles all round for one of her favourite Aunt’s colleagues.

Dante was hungry.It was only 10 o clock and Dante was usually at the great hall chowing down on breakfast at this time anyway. Plus took at all the food. It was just too glorious not to eat and who was tapping him on his shoulder. Not many people would do that.

Maggie, Fashionably late as ever. Dante smiled.

"Morning to you too"

Though honestly had no idea how long this thing was going to last. Though knowing who many Professor were showing up. It would take a good while before this thing was over.

"Don't get your hopes up. I think we will be here for a while. So might as well enjoy the food"

Plus there was the whole Botros announcing it at the Feast. So it is bound to be important.

But whatever.

They'd be here for a while??

Her eyes returned to his when and she frowned at him openly. "NOT what I wanted to hear." Maggie groaned softly and tore off a small piece of her croissant. "I really don't know what we're supposed to be doing anyway." She reached over to get a strawberry which she then eyed for a few seconds before taking a bite.

"It can't JUST be about eating, right?" Right?!

Jet went to the grounds and it didn't take her long at all to get to where the picnic was happening. The grounds were big, but the gathering of students and staff members were easily spotted.

She knew there probably wouldn't be much she would eat there, so the first thing she looked for were the fruits. They looked nice so she went to the queue to get some for herself.

Shrug

"Sorry"

It was the truth..at least Dante thought so. Maybe if Botros forgot what they were all here and decided to call things off. Then they could leave. It was possible with how old he was. LOVE YOU HEADMASTER. But Dante doubted it once giving it more thought.

"Eating....i'm kidding. Hopefully the Headmaster or one of the many Professor here will tell us. But i doubt it will be entertaining of the two of us"

And hopefully they will find out what this picnic is about

There were so many choices and options. Aldous needed to choose wisely and that was hard since breakfast was his favorite meal and by default all the usual breakfast meals provided. So he needed to come up with a plan to have as many types in a way that he would enjoy them not just stuffing his stomach.

Oh, look a friend! by default because same house, same year and dorm, duh "Hey," He greeted back the fellow eagle. "I'm good, facing very serious choices to make," He said glancing at the many types of food presented. Did Sabbath get the struggle?

"This is nice, right?" He said referring to the entire gathering. Aldous would have thought that the start of term feast was going to probably be the only grand meeting. His eyes registered many professors joining which was nice.

Paul smiled. "I have to keep these old bones up somehow! I jog when I wake up in time--" he chortled and rolled up the sleeves of his sweatshirt because HELLO he was suddenly very beady with sweat and HOT. He fanned himself dramatically. "Nothing major, though. I'm no fitness expert." HA.

Paul wasn't startled by Damien's sentiment, but he looked around at him with wide eyes. "WHAT? I did--I was going for a jog like I usually do--and just--you know stopped by here!" Could ya' TELL by his white, damp hair sticking to his sweaty forehead?!?!!?!

HEH!

He also saw Mister Barrington and quiet little Jet, both of whom got a wave from the professor.

It was a lot of food, though, and Dot just filled her plate with fruit and one piece of bacon before settling by herself near the table. People watching. Professor watching.

Bacon was always the best part of breakfast, and since he wasn't usually allowed to have much bacon at home, Davie was definitely using this Eggstravaganza as an excuse to pile up on bacon. Now he just had to find a place to sit and eat all of it.

Oh here was an empty spot, by this Slytherin whose red hair matched the bit of green on her robes nicely. Davie recognized her from class, and plopped down next to her with a shy, "Hi."

For the record, that made too of them. Because Zander had no idea how he got to be head boy either. It was a fluke in the system, clearly. But he was pretending to be confident about it. Because that's what he had decided to do on the train. Ahem. But anyways, the head boy NEEDED coffee and that was the real issue here. Where was it???? He may have been looking around while this Gryffindor was talking to him too. Oops. Not that she was uninteresting or anything, BUT HIS COFFEE??

Noted? He couldn't even be bothered to remember what exactly was being noted. He was clearly distracted. Distracted with day dreams of caffeine and creamer.

But the comment and poke in the arm definitely got his attention focused in. "Hey!" He wasn't that pasty, was he? Uh. "I'll have you know, I've never been more tan." Meaning he was very tan right now thank you. Well... Tanner being a relative word here. Actually, he was never tan. He was sort of this color all year round? Was she making fun of him? RUDE. Especially rude because he hadn't had his coffee yet and clearly could not come up with clever replies. Because he most definitely would've been clever after coffee lol zander pls as if.

.... Look into it? He fave her a funny look. "You try doing this for seven years, then you'll be a coffee zombie too," he rubbed his head tiredly, still on the search for the coffee. Also, he was sure everyone turned into a coffee zombie at some point in their life. But all this making fun of Zander stuff was a very uncomfortable topic, so alas an attempted topic change was in order, probably. "You think they might have some caffeinated tea lying around?" Because if it wasn't coffee, tea would have to do.

She had been running late for the breakfast, but it wasn't her fault. No Gemini had gotten into the catnip and had gotten sick. Poor little thing was now up in her office trying to sleep off his belly ache. So now she was late for the breakfast event and she hated being late.

Once down at the lake she looked around. It seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves. Now she had to decide was she going to go get some food or socialize first?

The rock was placed in her hand.... Dwayne the rock was placed in her hands... Okay so maybe he was a bit heavier than she thought he was going to be but... SHE HAD PROFESSOR FLAMSTEEDS PET ROCK DWAYNE!!

Swoon!

Noelle was going to be the best pet rock mother ever... If that was a thing. she cradled the rock to her chest, which wasn't hard since it took up a good amount of arm space. "Thank you so much professor!! I am HONORED." Noelle beamed at the boy. "Austin was it? We will have to get our rocks together for play dates." And that was final.. It would happen.

HADY!

Noelle beamed at her older friend. "LOOK HADY! Professor gave me Dwayne!" She held up Dwayne best she could before dropping him back on her lap. She needed to refuel... She needed BACON.

To Hugo it didn't matter this type of unexpected reunions as long as they offered food because then what was the point of being here? None. So, here he was with the professors, students and plants everywhere.

Hugo spotted Dante and Maggie and overheard a bit of their conversation, "Relax Traulton, enjoy the food, the people, OUR company" shrugged. He knew Dante was going to agree with him.

It smelled SO good out here on the lawn, and there was a pleasant little nip in the air, and if Dot was sad that she hadn't found her friends, at least she was having a nice time watching people and nibbling at her fruit and bacon.

And then she had a visitor. Not one of her friends, but an ickle she didn't know. An adorable ickle, with big eyes behind glasses and a sort of huggableness to him that Dot approved of highly. "Hi."

And then... "I'm Dot. Fifth year. D'you like bacon? You have a lot of bacon, but you can have some of mine if you want more. I wish Bacon-stravaganza was as funny as Egg-stravaganza, because I like bacon, but eggs are just meh." Meh. "What's your name?"

"Haiya." Kaycee said with a laugh. "Really? This is tan?" she asked with a head tilt. Weird. "I didn't realize it was that cloudy here."

Zombeh head boy.

"I've been doing this for years. I doubt my life is going to change that much in three years." Plus, coffee was kind of strong. She preferred water. It was better for the body. She also liked hot chocolate.

"Do they make caffeinated teas? I don't get the tea thing." She looked around. "I'll help with the coffee thing." She was just curious as to how long it took to have the effects set in. Also... if he could fetch something if she asked him to.

Bleu was NOT a morning person. She never had been and never would be, but there was breakfast food and she kind of had to be here seeing as it was basically mandatory. At least she thought it was.

She really couldn't remember. She had been studying so much that the seventh year couldn't quiet remember much other than what she needed to know. In fact...she had been studying the night before till about 3 am because she had completely forgot about this thing until everyone in her dorm room started getting up early on a Saturday. Her plan had been to sleep in till lunch...but here she was...up...messy bun and all, exhausted and cranky. The only thing keeping her together was the necklace she was wearing today. It was a reminder to her that Dylan loved her despite them not being able to see each other much. She was also kind of hoping he would be here.

She gave sweet smiles, nods, and waves to all of the professors, and headed straight to the food table, which was the main reason she came. She made a plate, looking for coffee as she went. "Is there no coffee? If I am going to function at this thing, I need some coffee." She mostly said it to herself...but hoped someone in charge would overhear her.

"Yes, it's a great idea". He replied to Aldous, "Good food and bit of mingling. I just wish there was some coffee on offer, gee, I miss that from home - a good cafe con leche in the morning". He glanced down the table, in the feeble hope of spotting a pot. "Kids here, don't seem to drink coffee much, why is that?" he wondered aloud.



Standing by the food table, Sabbath chuckled to himself. Had he just heard teacup girl call the Headmaster Grandpa?! That was gold. He checked his laugh and smiled at her, it was funny, but he didn't want to offend her. She was choosing a selection of foods, "Hi" he said, "I can recommend those. They're delicious" he pointed to the pasties "I don't think we've met before, I'm Sabbath" he smiled at her.
