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*]

"On purpose?" she asked skeptically.

"Hardly ever on purpose," Harry answered, trying out an innocent expression. Or what he thought was an innocent expression.

She raised her eyebrow. "You must be very clumsy."

Harry had a feeling he was going to learn to fear that eyebrow. "Not really. Not usually anyway. It just kind of happens. I don't even have to do anything."

"Don't go near the television in the fourth floor common room," she said warily. "I like it too much."

"Your television is safe from me," Harry said. "What about the other common rooms? Fair game?"

He wasn't really planning on going on a TV-killing spree, but you never knew when that sort of thing might be necessary.

"I don't care about those," she said dismissively. "But fourth floor is where I live and so do a few of my friends and my boyfriend. Where's your room?"

"Fifth floor," Harry said, pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket to doublecheck. "506."

"Not too hard to find at all," she said, almost cheerfully. "Got a roommate?"

"Someone named Seregil. At least I think that's a name and not a title or anything. Haven't met them yet."

"It's possible, though I thought I knew all of us that have titles around here," she said thoughtfully. "Unless they're new, too."

"Lady Aravis of Anvard. Or Tarkheena, if you'd prefer," she said, shrugging. "Don't use it much, though. There's not much use. Everyone's on equal footing here."

"Like royalty?" Not exactly what Harry had expected in a Big Sister. Not that he really knew what he'd been expecting, he was just pretty sure royalty hadn't been it. "Is there a lot of that going on around here?"

"Nobility," she corrected. "I'm not quite royalty. But there's some. I know a king who attends school here, for one."

"I don't need to be bowing or anything, right?" Offending nobility or royalty or whatever seemed like a bad plan.

"Not unless you want to," she laughed.

"Good. That'd just be weird. I have a feeling there's going to be enough weird here already."
