Welcome Party for the Summer Students and Staff

Despite the slightly overcast sky, the weather is still good for welcoming all of the new arrivals for the Fandom High summer session. The graduation decorations (and gremlin debris) have been cleared from the front lawn, and replaced with tables of information packets, food, and drinks. A series of signs point the students to the information table first, where they can pick up their room assignments from the office drones, and then continue on to the food tables to mingle.

And no, there are no inflatable gremlins around today. It's far too early to start scaring the new folks. That's what the mingling section is for!

[OOC: All right folks, have at it!]

"It's a school," says Hermione simply. If there's not one, she's transferring.

"But is it a good library or do they only have a handful of books that are all off of some PTA approved reading list with practically nothing on mag... m..agnificient texts of history and learning," Willow said, covering the slip as best she could.

"I don't know yet," she says, frowning a little. "I'll have to stop in soon and see what they have."

"Probably won't be anything like the library at home," Willow said, unable to keep herself from pouting. "Giles was a great librarian. He never even noticed all the times I snuck into Spe... um. The stacks. To study really hard for my finals."

Hermione pauses. "Same here. Maybe they'll send me some books if I petition for it."

"They've got a good library where you're from?" Willow asked. "Which is England, I'm guessing?"
smartestone: (hogwarts girl)

She nods. "I used to go to a school called Hogwarts. It was a wonderful school."

"Why come here then?" Willow asked.

"There was... an incident there," she says. "My parents decided it wasn't the best place for me to be."

"Oh," Willow said. "Did it happen to involve a barbeque fork at all?"

Hermione pauses. "No..."

"That's good," Willow assured her.
smartestone: (with crookshanks)

"You had problems with barbecue forks?

"My hometown was strange," Willow said, by way of explanation.

"Ah," she says, nodding and frowning at the same time.

"Sunnydale, California," Willow added, in case Marty hadn't been the only one who'd heard of it.

She shakes her head. "Is that anywhere near Los Angeles?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[identity profile] willbedone.livejournal.com 2006-05-10 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Not far," Willow said. "About two hours."

[personal profile] smartestone 2006-05-10 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh," she says. "Then I don't know specifically of the town, but I know that far. I can learn the rest."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

"And you?" Willow asked. "Where in England are you from? Anywhere near Oxford?"

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[personal profile] smartestone 2006-05-10 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
She answers handwavily as to not be Jossed in book seven. "Not really near there. My school was in Scotland. I spent more time there, really."

"Oh," Willow said. "That's nice too. Did you wear lots of plaid?"
smartestone: (in class)

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[personal profile] smartestone 2006-05-10 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Not plaid, no. We wore robes most of the time while school was in session, actually."

"They don't have uniforms here, do they?" Willow asked. She flipped through her paperwork. "I didn't see anything about that."

Re: Mingle/Meet the Newbies

[personal profile] smartestone 2006-05-10 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
"There was nothing mentioning them," she says. "I'm sure they would have told us beforehand if we needed them."
