<strong>Name:</strong>Albus Severus Potter (http://i.imgur.com/hPaSizJ.jpg)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Student<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Transfiguration Classroom<br/><strong>Tagged</strong>: Adelaide, Inali, Rose<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Albus accepted Adelaide's hand as gracefully as he could. Adelaide Cruz, she was American. He seemed to be having an odd sort of luck with Americans today, perhaps there was something about them that intrigued him. Cross cultural communication had always been easier for him even though he failed at communicating with his neighbors (there was probably some deep psychological insight in there, but he didn’t have the patience to ferret it out).  She must have known who he was, or at least had an inkling of what his name meant, being well read as she was. But she seemed to take in stride. She was obviously intelligent, and he liked the way she confidently set herself apart from the other students, yet didn't seem to judge him for his awkwardness.<br/><br/>He took the butterbear off her and took a sip, grateful to have a bit more of that in his system. “Umm thank you very much” Albus had so far been able to carry off the conversation politely but he was getting to the point where he was scrambling for what to say next. “Well you did miss the Boggart, we all went up and it turned into our greatest fears, you probably have done the exercise before, but it was my first time and I’m proud of the way it went.” He smiled slightly at his own little brag, he rarely did that but he felt that he had earned it “Too bad you missed it but it’s a great way to get to know people, a shortcut through  the small talk” He winced visibly when he enunciated “small talk” the words seeming to bring him physical pain.<br/><br/>Albus noticed Adelaide look off to the side distracted by someone behind him. He started to turn around and see what she was looking at “A friend of mine? I’m not sure wha-“ He was taken aback by Inali who had somehow silently snuck up right behind him. He gave an incredibly unmanly and undignified yelp and jumped a little, even spilling a bit of his butterbeer. He immediately went about regaining his composure, trying to salvage what dignity he could. “Um,  yes well, this is my new friend Inali, Inali this is Adelaide Cruz, um, you’re both American”<br/><br/>Just as we was composing himself, he felt something tingling at his ear which startled him, he jumped again and pulled out his wand with a shout, and suddenly realized he was pointing it in the face of his cousin “ROSE! What in god’s name are you are you doing!” He sheepishly looked around realizing that he was sort of making a scene. He glared at Rose “This is my cousin Rose, she is annoying” he said (although, he had to admit, the timing of the prank had been just perfect…) He placed his butterbeer on the desk afraid of spilling more. For this level of embarrassment, he felt like he needed something much stronger than butterbeer anyway.
