Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

The weather was thankfully behaving, so it was fairly warm outside as everything was set up for the picnic. Tables and chairs had been set up, and there was plenty of food and drinks, along with nametags, and two signs: one listing the Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings, and another listing rooms and roommates for the new students.

[~~WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE.~~ OCD IS UP, HAVE AT IT. This is part one of the picnic, for specifically meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. *g*]

"Exactly," Ron said taking his wand out of his robe. "Hocus Pocus and all that. Except we don't say hocus pocus or anything silly like that. I'm assuming there's no magic in your world then?"

"...no. Why're you carrying around a stick?" she wondered, still not really believing him. "Oh, is that your magic wand?"

"Right," Ron nodded and did a swish and flick of his wand as he muttered an incantation and the next thing you know there's a plate of cookies hovering towards them.

Yes he was showing off a tad.

"Cookie?"

She was just going to stare and not eat any magically-appearing cookies, thank you.

"Probably for the best," Ron said in a conspiritorial fashion. "Most of the baked goods I've had around here have been rubbish."

And with another flick of his wand the plate went back to the table. "I haven't broken you too much, have I?"

"No," she said faintly, though what an odd choice of words, all things considered. "No, I'm just a bit...confused."

"Sorry," Ron said apologetically, "I'm supposed to help you adjust. Not make things more difficult for you. I only got here at the start of last term and I'm still finding this place a bit odd."

"No, you're doing a good job," she said as reassuringly as she could. "It's just...we don't have magic at home. Or anything like that. And I wasn't even born in 2008."

"I know. It's a complete adjustment," Ron said with a sympathetic look. "I made a complete ass out of myself trying to have a conversation with the TV when I first got here. Don't get even get me started on that whole micron-wave thingie."

"Microwave?" she suggested. "You tried to talk to the television?"

[and I have to run off to schoooooooool for a little while! stupid rl semester starting soon.]

"Right. Micron-wave," Ron said his ears getting slightly red. "And... Okay I could have sworn the little people in the box were talking to me."

She smiled gently. "No TV in the world of wizards?"

"No eckletrikity either," Ron said with a nod. "So it's no reason to be embarrassed if you muck things up because chances are I probably already did it before you."

[And now I disappear in to the AFK-ness of RL!]

"Electricity," she corrected automatically. "We have that at home, too. And TV. All that. Probably a bit...vintage, compared to what I'm used to, though."
