"Prompt as always Professor Jordan. It's one thing about you I find quite delightful. However without you I'm sure mischief would weep." Professor Crann glanced up from her clipboard for a brief moment and offered a slight grin. She finished her notes with a signature, everything was officially in order for the school year. "I heard through various sources that your plans for the Spring Showcase are going to be works of art." Even though Bellona never delved into acting or drama, the literature aspect piqued her interest and it didn't stop her from attending a play or two. She looked up at him hoping he would reveal some hints as to what to expect.<br/>Being unused to such feelings, Bellona always wondered why he could make her smile so easily. Was it the mutual love of the Bard?<br/>Maybe the pull of being around another sharp mind? For whatever reason he intrigued her and that was that. At least that was all she could calculate at the moment. Further analysis wouldn't be professional so Bellona tabled it.<br/><br/>Jasmine had remained quiet much of the ride as promised and fell asleep until arriving at Tutlloch Station. Staggering sleepily out of the train the redhead rubbed her eyes and yawned, making sure to grab Cae. Coffee was urgently needed. She began walking towards Monique's Cafe across the square. Their strawberry-rhubarb cream latte would be the perfect midday jolt. Usually she would get tea but this kind of tired required something special. Cae swiveled his head in each direction in an attempt to scope things out. He tended to be protective of Jasmine, especially in public. Even so it did Jasmine no good unless he piped up. In this case Jasmine was too busy daydreaming to watch her step and bumped into someone. "Oh I'm sorry! This is exactly why I'm on a coffee run!" She apologized to the other person just as much as Cae. The barn owl shook himself and let out a small hoo, letting her know he was fine.<br/><br/>Upon arriving the Goldthwait twins still hadn't apologized to each other. Laurentín made no attempt to help his sister, instead ditching her for a carriage ride to campus with a couple other Slytherins. They began eagerly talking about their expectations for the year. The tall blonde was tickled not to have his sister interrupting or dominating the conversation for a change. "Did you hear? Professor Jordan is teaching Drama again. Last year he almost put a Cruciatus Curse on two students who snuck into his classroom to practice without his permission. I think he's a terrible bore and a horrid windbag but that's why I'm not in his class." Laurentín's interest picked up. So there were Dark Arts in ADU. His esteem for the school grew a bit. The carriage pulled round to the entrance of campus. Let the fun begin.<br/><br/>Bijou came of the train, her lovely full lips in a pout. Laurentín had left without her and Angelique, her pet rabbit. She didn't know anyone but it didn't matter. It was time to do one thing she knew would cure her blues, go shopping! With Angelique's carrier on her arm, the silverette made a beeline for Sharon Rose Boutique. Inside a short, curvy witch with big white curls and small gold pence-nez greeted her eagerly. "WELCOME my dear to my boutique. I'm Sharon and if you need anything let me know." Bijou smiled confidently and nodded. "Oh I will. Especially if your shoes are to my liking..." Forget Laurentín and his nasty attitude. Shoes didn't hurt her feelings and always made her look good. The door jingled as another person came in, hopefully someone interesting to take her mind off things.
