Seb felt bad that he'd not only had to drop out suddenly from the Magic Creatures club, especially since he'd promised to help, and now he couldn't even go to see. Apparently "causing an animal uprising" would be a bad thing. After wiping churro dust on his shorts, Declan used magic to actually clean his hands before holding his. It was probably better that way anyway.
Thankfully, Deccy didn't give Seb too long to wallow in his sadness, giving him something else to think about. "Mama would love some silly pictures. And we can take the silliest ones!" He walked alongside her, headed outside toward the booths. There was a lot of noise out here, which made his brain feel weird. The Great Hall had a million scents, but the outside was so freaking loud! He huffed, looking over toward the pitch. "I really wanna try to win the broom they have on auction, but I don't have any money. Good thing the carnival is free for students, right?" He laughed at his own words, wishing a bit that Mama was able to come to Hogwarts. Seeing her for just two days (while super sick and not really able to remember) was just not enough. Then again, he'd be home in less than two weeks, so he could probably wait.

Kas was a little flustered after admitting he was hoping to find Hes in the confusion of all the people going about to the various club booths, and was captivated by the grin she gave him, accompanied by a set of fangs. He blinked for the moment it took for him to realize what he saw was what he saw, and not just his imagination. Nope, those were for real, and they were… well, they were…cute, and he returned her grin with one of his own. He liked seeing her happy and having fun. Seeing the way she was looking at him over the rims of her sunglasses caused his heart to speed up in a way he was unaccustomed to. Wow, those eyes….’
“Sounds like fun; I was going to ask you the same,” he said to her, glad they had the same thing on their minds. He knew it was a celebration of the many lands the students of Hogwarts came from, so there would be foods from all over world, which he was hoping to have Hes’ company while sampling. “You’re part of the club putting on the feast, right? Anything on the menu catching your eye? I wouldn’t mind seeing Apple Cake.”

The sunlight was warm on Deccy's face as they walked outside and despite it being rather warm otherwise, Declan still got a little shiver. She smiled over at Sebby as he mentioned Mama loving some silly pictures of them. Declan nodded and pulled Seb a little closer to her, glancing around at the booths that were set up. The blonde looked to Seb as he mentioned the broom auction, then said, "I think you can earn tickets by doing the obstacle course too and that you don't have to pay for. I might have some sickles in my pocket too." She fished around in her pocket and pulled out a small pouch with some sickles in it. "I've got seven sickles, so we could enter one ticket for you." She smiled at Seb, wanting to do whatever she could to make Sebby smile. The money didn't really matter to her.

Hesperia smiled again when Kasimir said he was going to ask her the same, which was something that made her heart flutter a little. The thought that he was going to ask her meant he enjoyed her company and that idea made her feel good. She also enjoyed his company. He asked if she had her eye on anything on the menu and she shrugged a little. "I didn't really pay too much attention when they were making the menu because I can't cook. But I know Declan was making a Greek dish and I'm curious if she can cook it like my giagiá." Hesperia glanced down at the ground for a moment, then looked back up at Kas. Her fangs poked out of her smile again, then she turned slightly and looked towards the school. "So, uh... shall we go check out the feast?" Her heart was beating faster in her chest, but she could swear in was hammering in her ears.
Noah’s heart fluttered for a moment at Everly’s words. He didn’t know what his problem was. He’d happily go face-to-face with a chimera, probably without flinching, and yet having a simple conversation with a classmate left him feeling a bit dizzy. He bit at his lip for half a second but tried to relax. It seemed the line had gone over well. Maybe he was better at this than he thought. He swallowed hard before speaking again.
“Well, uh, seeing is important in quidditch. Hate to see you knocked off your broom just because you’re worried about looking like a fish. Especially when they’re actually quite stylish.” He thought about telling her that he liked fish, but that didn’t quite seem like the right choice of words.
He blushed again when Everly mentioned his eyes. A sound escaped his throat that sounded something along the lines of “Dahhgb”. Then he managed to squeak out, “I do have eyes.” For a moment his knees felt a little weak, then there was a little nudge from the mooncalf behind him. Apparently Disney movies were right. Animals were the best wingmen. He placed a hand on the mooncalf head and brushed it against its soft fur. "So, do you like, uh, animals then?" He blinked a few times. Wow. "I mean I know you like quidditch and uh, overalls," he said vaguely motioning at her outfit. "But you've never made your way to Creature Appreciation Club."

After her... probably not grand line, Everly noticed Noah seem to hesitate. Was he hesitating because he was flustered or because she'd said something super weird? Oh god, she should've rehearsed this! She was so awkward! She was so much more comfortable putting together heavy machinery (or fixing Kai's "new" car that he was definitely not legal to drive), but this was making her heart race. She really, really needed to get better at talking to people outside her family. She was way too similar to her dad, who was.... also not the best at words sometimes. Maybe she should just take a page out of Simon's book and just go mute.
Once the line was spoken, Noah acknowledged that seeing was important in quidditch. "Yea, thankfully I don't play Seeker with my vision! I'd never win a game." She sent over a grin, at least quite happy that he seemed to think her stylish in her goggles. Her cheeks warmed up, and she figured it would at least help sway her choice at the optometrist this summer. She commented on his eyes, glad that they seemed to be twinkling in the lovely sunlight. Man, that sight wouldn't get old...
He made a rather uncomfortable noise, and Everly averted her eyes to give him a second. He managed, however lightly, to say he had eyes. She wanted for a second to comment on them again, but it seemed to just fluster his brain... so maybe not. One of the animals, a mooncalf, if she remembered her class correctly, bumped into him and seemingly reset his brain. It was then that he asked about her knowledge of Magical Creatures.... and commented on her outfit. Blue eyes glanced at her clothes, an awkward laugh escaped the girl. "Aha... yes. I do like magical creatures. I'll certainly join in the club this next year. I was going to join this year, but I missed the initial meeting, then I got nervous... something about the cute club leader, I guess." Everly bit her lip, sending over a small look.
"And yes, I have come to like quidditch. I got started that year that Ravenclaw was short like half the team. My older brother promised he'd try out if I did, but he didn't make the team because he throws things rather randomly. But I made it, and it's really fun. And as for my overalls..." She glanced again at her outfit, thinking it was somewhat cute, at least. She was going to wear a skirt that day, but there had been a breeze, so... shorts. "I've worn them for a long time. My first primary teacher told us that Tradies and fix-it-lads always wore overalls while working. I always did the fixing up for me and Ruth as little ones, and I guess the look just stuck. I... I do have non-overall clothes. But the straps prevent Ruth from stealing my jumpers." She laughed awkwardly as she tugged on the overall straps with a blush coloring over her cheeks. Maybe she'd try to incorporate non-overall outfits going forward. She thought she had a style, but what if he thought she looked like a mega-dork?????

Seeing Hes smile was sufficient to get Kas to smile as well; it was one of those things he looked forward to. He wasn’t too surprised Hes didn’t know how to cook, and he supposed this deficit in skill was the impetus for her joining the club. He commiserated with, “Hmmm, I know what you mean; I’m not much use in a kitchen either. Heating up soup and making sandwiches is about the limit of my culinary skills, but, that’s okay, my Aunt Faina isn’t much better at it than I. Somehow, between the two of us, we manage not to starve or poison ourselves.”
Given what he saw in the trash when he disposed of it, he was fairly certain his aunt lived mainly on take-away, instant meals and obscene amounts of coffee, only making the effort to eat better when he and Medved were in residence. Disturbingly, he’d picked up on her coffee habit, much to the disapproval of his very traditional Baba. However, apparently, Hes’ Baba was good at making traditional Greek cuisine, and this piqued his curiosity.
“I’ve had baklava before, and gyros, of course. I’m curious to try Kreatopita or Moussaka,” he said. He wouldn’t have been surprised if there was nothing from his homelands offered, and he wasn’t all that concerned. If Great Aunt Reyna didn’t make something to remind him of home, he’d be in St. Petersburg before long anyway. Kas saw Hes’ smile again, and he caught sight of those cute little fangs of hers. Her smile was infectious, as he smiled at her in return, and when she suggested they return to the castle to partake of the feast, he offered his hand for her to take, and replied, “I’d be delighted to.”

Noah wasn’t sure where his flirting skills, or perhaps lack thereof, came from. Both his parents had charm in spades. They’d started dating in their fifth year and were together, well, until they divorced. Maybe their relationship wasn’t exactly the best example. Perhaps it was better that he had flirting skills more similar to that of Matthew. Perhaps flirting skills were actually inherited through marriage. It’d make a lot of sense.
It took Noah a second to process that she had said the word cute. About him. He was sure his heart skipped a beat. She was calling him cute? How did someone respond to that? His palms were starting to feel very sweaty.
“Well, I’ll be expecting you in September then,” he said with a smile. “And,” he added slowly, “if you ever wanted something like a…teaching session to get you all caught up.” He hesitated. “Not that you need it or anything! I mean you’ve taken classes and stuff so I probably wouldn’t be teaching you anything new but like…if you wanted to. You’re prettier than I am anyway.” He added a small shrug, hands burying themselves into his pockets. He was fairly certain that his words made no grammatical sense. He’d be lucky if they were even coherent.
“I’ve always liked handy girls,” Noah said with Everly explanation. His fast turned bright red. Oh boy. That could sound really bad out of context. He decided his best bet was just to keep talking. “I guess I should be glad I only have sisters. They don’t steal my clothes much. Just a few sweatshirts.”

Being here made Leah feel old. She had two children well into Hogwarts, Amelia was starting come September and Clara wasn’t far behind. She was far removed from the young gun who thought that the whole of Hogwarts was her domain. She mentally laughed at herself. She was a little young for a midlife crisis. Plus, it wasn’t like she wanted to be “young” again. She was very happy in her current life and there was plenty in her younger years that she had no desire to experience again. It was just…strange. During her years at Hogwarts she would’ve never considered that she’d be back here with four children, not married to Levi, and being accompanied by her muggle husband.
That same muggle husband who was talking excitedly to her muggle sister. Matthew and Isla were about as polar opposites in personality as you could get, but their fascination with magic made them fast friends, especially when it came to displays of magic like this. She couldn’t blame them. She’d been the same way when she’d arrived at Hogwarts. An eleven-year-old who had only known magic existed for a matter of weeks. Everything seemed well…magical. The difference being, she’d gotten used to it. It seemed Isla and Matthew never had, nor would they at this point. It was delightful.
“Mama?” Clara’s voice came from Leah’s side.
“Yes, my love?”
“Where are the animals? Lottie said they had a niffler. I like nifflers.”
Leah gave a small laugh. Every one of her children had managed to inherit a love of magical creatures. Noah was already well settled on Magizoology and Leah wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if some of his sisters followed him in that path. “Don’t worry. They’re around her somewhere. We’ll find them in a moment.”

This was such a weird day. Their little... flirtatious glances for the past couple months had cumulated here. Everly had definitely been crushing on Noah, but she'd always just been too nervous to actually talk to him. Thankfully her siblings had... goaded her to talk to him today. She was still nervous and her heart was positively racing, but she was actually talking to him. She mentioned wanting to join the magic creatures club and he said he'd be expecting her. Oh good! That sounded positive.... oh wait. He added more?!
She blushed, a nervous squeak escaping when he offered a private teaching session. Noah did also immediately backpedal, saying she knew enough, but then he called her pretty?!?!! "I ah.... think I'd really love a private teaching session. E-especially with someone as handsome as you." He seemed a bit flustered too, which did serve to make Everly feel a little better about her own nerves. "M...maybe over the summer? We'd h-have all the time in the world... unless you're busy! I-I wouldn't blame you for being busy!" What a weird thing to add!!! 'Come on, Everly! You're being so freakin weird!'
After Everly'd explained her like of overalls, Noah added note that he liked handy girls. Oh... OH. Everly blushed too, laughing under her breath. "I... ah... I am. H-handy... And such?" Oh jeez, this was not going well. Chances are, she'd never leave her room again after this mess of cringe! But Noah continued, saying he was lucky to have only sisters since they stole only a few sweatshirts. "Yea, that wouldn't work in ours. Ruth is notorious for warmth-theft. Me, our brother, cousins... anyone with a cozy looking sweater is subject." She laughed, a bit more genuinely this time. "B-but if you did want someone to steal your sweaters... I could maybe do that?" WHAT?!? "They'd be safe..." Everly mumbled, tugging on her overall straps. If the ground could just open up and swallow her whole, that'd be stellar.
