Ethan Brody Quimby-Winthrop Ravenclaw 2nd Year Half Blood - Twelve Years Old
Location : Creature Appreciation Club Company : Club Members...
Ethan had joined one club last year, that club was creature appreciation. He’d done it mostly because he wanted to make him mum happy. It never took much but he still tried. So, when that time rolled around again, Ethan decided that he might as well come by again. He loved magical creatures, reading books on them. He was so looking forward to next year when he could take the class. Making his way down to the gardens, Ethan noticed a small group had formed for the club. Not too surprising. “Morning,” He greeted as he grabbed a form and casually filling it out. “Any plans for this year?” He asked. Ethan was certainly looking forward to another club year.

Who's to say What's impossible, well they forgot This world keeps spinning And with each new day I can feel a change in everything
Noah was excited, but admittedly just a touch nervous. He was now in charge of the Creature Appreciation Club. Honestly, his responsibilities hadn't increased all that much. Nora had more or less left the club to him last year since she'd been so busy. Anyway, they were really just here to learn and have a good time. If he enjoyed himself everyone else would too.
He sat down in the grass and began looking around. It was usually pretty easy to find some sort of creature hanging around, hence why this location had been chosen when he and Nora had started the club. Sure enough, on the low branch of one of the trees was a small familiar bowtruckle. Noah had found him hanging around the gardens at the beginning of last year and he had shown up every meeting since. "Hello Newt," he said holding out his hand. After a moment of trepidation, the small creature moved on to Noah. He beamed. Something in him had always been drawn to creatures and every time he successfully interacted with one he felt a little rush of joy.
Noah caught sight of Charlotte heading towards the garden as Newt started climbing up to his shoulder.

Charlotte was carrying a stack of sign-ups and had a bag with several copies of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. She had very happily been promoted to assistant captain or whatever they were calling it. She was determined to make the best of it. She had insisted on bringing all of the "official" stuff.
Unsurprisingly, Noah was not only already there, but had already tracked down a creature. He was like a magnet. And he didn't mind letting things crawl over him. "You've been blessed," Charlotte said with a laugh. He looked completely pleased with himself.
"What can I say? Newt's a fan."
"Good to see you again Newt," Charlotte said as though she was just addressing another student. She placed the books and paper down before going to sit down next to her brother, gently reaching her hand out to the bowtruckle.

Seb was excited to go back to creature appreciation club. He dressed in something comfy and tucked his camera in his hoodie pocket. Finally, he searched through his blanket to find Zoot, who had been buried by his human's rolling about. The cat gave a lazy squeak as he was scooped up. The pink-haired boy also grabbed some cat treats, then hurried down. He and Dec usually met up on the fifth floor landing, since it was a good meeting spot. "Dec! C'mon! We've got the best club!" He laughed, gently patting Skye on the head. The duo walked down to the grounds, then out to where the club met up. Just as they were close enough, Seb's ever-present bad luck reared her head.
The boy tripped over untied shoelaces, falling facedown onto the grass. Poor Zoot leapt from his arms, fur poofed out in fright. Seb worked his way back up to sitting, dusting grass off his new hoodie. "Awh..." He frowned, then pushed to his feet. Reaching a hesitant hand into his pocket, he pulled out his camera, checking it over, then said another "Awh..." He looked over at Dec with a small frown, then asked "What's the name of the repairing charm again? I really wanted to get some pictures of the creatures..." He looked over at the club leaders as well, loose grass tucked into his messy pink hair.

Since it was going to be cold outside and Declan was already such a cold little kid, Sebastian had suggested that Deccy wear one of his hoodies, then wore a matching one. The blond had pulled on the hoodie and almost immediately fell in love with it. It was so cozy, putting him in a little pocket of warmth. Paired with the sweatpants he was wearing as well as his "gym shoes", Declan was super comfy, more than he ever felt wearing button ups and slacks. Before they had met up though, Declan had gone to the owlery to get his best pet friend, his owl Skye. She was more than excited to be taken out of her perch and rest on Declan's shoulder, cuddled up against her friend. As they were heading down to the actual club meeting, Sebby tripped over his shoelaces and fell face first. "Oh no!" Declan cried, then moved to help his best friend back to his feet. Seb was lamenting his now broken camera, a frown on his face. Whipping his wand out, Declan cast the repairing charm. "Reparo!" he said and the camera fixed itself, returning it to pristine condition. "You gotta be more careful Sebby," Declan said, then knelt in front of Seb to tie his shoes for him. "There, now you won't trip again," said the blond with a happy smile. Reaching up, Declan brushed the remaining grass and dirt off Seb, then picked up Zoot and helped the cat crawl into Seb's pocket.
Ethan Brody Quimby-Winthrop Ravenclaw 3rd Year Half Blood - Thirteen Years Old
Location : Creature Appreciation Club Company : Club Members... Noah, Charlotte & Newt
Ethan had decided to stick with creature appreciation club as his club of choice. It would help him with class, though he was pretty sure the elective would be fine. Plus, it kept the family happy that he was socializing if only a little. What could he say, he wasn’t having the easiest time making friends. Hard to believe but he just hadn’t thrown himself out there. Sometimes books were just easier.
Walking down to the meeting spot for the club Ethan filled out a form leaving it a bit simpler most of it hadn’t changed since last year. “Hi Charlotte, Noah,” He greeted his classmate as well as the club captain. He knew Charlotte strictly because they were in classes together. After that he hadn’t really spoken to her. All he knew was that the Noah and her were siblings, really. “Bowtruckle. Pretty sure I’ll be learning about those this year.” Ethan commented. At least he was trying right?
Name: Ethan Quimby-Winthrop
House: Ravenclaw

Newt the Bowtruckle made his way from Noah over to Charlotte, right on top of her head. She glanced up as more students made their way down to join the club's meeting. From a distance, she noticed one of them, Sebastian, trip and fall. She was glad that someone was nearby to help. Charlotte didn't want to jolt up and scare Newt. In a moment the other students seemed settled and continued their approach. Then a third student appeared.
She smiled. "Hello, Sebastian, Declan, Ethan," she said taking a small pause in between each name. Now, she didn't know any of them all that closely but she made it a point to remember names. She then noticed something else. "Ooh and you brought friends," she said catching sight of Sebastian's cat and Declan's owl.

Seb was dusting some dirt off his hoodie when Declan fixed up his camera. Just as he was about to thank his friend, the blond chastised him and told him to be more careful. Seb let out a laugh as he stood back up. "Not my fault that gravity hates me, Deccy-Dec!" He did look a bit surprised when Dec knelt down to tie up his shoelaces, then said he wouldn't trip again. "I don't think you've ever met me, Declan! Of course I will." He stuck out his tongue to accentuate his point.
As they walked over to the others, Seb casually handed over his application to Declan, knowing the blond not only loved to help, but weirdly, loved to do paperwork. "Bowtruckles? The little grass duders? Our Herbology friend... um.. oh! Tàmhas, right. He has one of them as a pet." Seb had been startled by the little thing screaming at him more than once. The pink-haired boy grinned over at the girl seemingly running the show when she called them by names. It was then that Zoot popped his head out and wiggled his arm to smack at Seb's hoodie string. "This is Zoot! He's a little tripod kinda guy, but he's the best cat you could ever ask for." Seb nodded, voice showcasing his pride about his beloved pet.

Once Sebastian was back on his feet, they continued on the way to club meeting, with Seb saying that gravity hated him. This caused the blond to giggle as they arrived at the meeting place. They arrived just after another boy in Declan's house, a year older than him. Charlotte greeted them and Declan smiled and waved a hello. Seb immediately handed him the sign up sheet and the blond took a moment to fill it out before he worked on his own. Skye squawked happily at the mention of friends, then she flapped her wings, inadvertently hitting Declan in the face. "Ack! Skye!" Declan cried, glancing over at the bird. Skye hooted an apology and looked around the meeting place. The blond shook his head, scritched Skye's neck, then filled out his own form.

Noah headed out to the familiar spot in the garden, readying everything for the opening of the Creature Appreciation Club. All was quiet as he set his things down but, as if on schedule, a few moments later a small bowtruckle peeked its head out of one of the bushes. "Good morning, Newt," he said pleasantly. Noah hadn't meant to domesticate a bowtruckle when he'd started this club with Nora, but multiple years later, the little bowtruckle continued to make himself known every time they met. Noah was fairly certain the creature just liked the attention. Newt still hunted on his own and he'd yet to poke anyone's eyes out with those little fingers of his, so Noah figured it was okay.
After another few moments, he spotted the figure of his sister walking in his direction. "Bon matin!" She called once she was within earshot. Noah couldn't help but laugh to himself. His sister had been obsessed with French over the summer and apparently being at school hadn't stopped her. At least Mémé would be happy.
"Guten Morgen, schwester" he replied with a cheeky smile.

Charlotte was in a cheery sort of mood this morning. The school year, though admittedly still quite young, had been going well. It felt like she had finally gotten into the groove of Hogwarts. It had only taken three-plus years, and she was also very well aware of the fact that next year would be OWLs, which would prove its own challenge. However, at the moment, she was happy and on top of everything. She was contributing it to all the sun she had gotten.
The James/Braybrooke clan had spent the summer in the French Riviera with their grandmother’s family. She had spoken French a majority of the time, despite the fact that they all spoke English perfectly. She had gotten perhaps a bit too used to the high life. Of course, it wasn’t like they weren’t living well in England at all…three of her parents had their fair share of money -and mum and dad had titles along with it- but she had always been careful about not making wealth a focus of her life and a month in the riviera wouldn’t change that.
She glanced toward the garden and caught sight of Noah, already there getting things started. “Bon matin!” She said. She hadn’t seen James before leaving the common room. He was usually up at least an hour before she was. He must have gotten the morning person gene from their father because neither Charlotte nor her mother had it.
"Guten Morgen, schwester," Charlotte made a face at her brother when he responded in German.
“Blaireau,” she muttered as she stuck out her tongue at him.
“Hast du mich gerade einen Dachs genannt?” Noah asked, still speaking German.
“Uh…techniquement. C'est en quelque sorte méchant…” she switched to English, “Dork.”
“Das bin ich,” he replied.
“Think we’ll have a big crowd this year?” Charlotte asked, settling back into English.

Location : Creature Club - Garden Company : Noah & Charlotte
Ethan was so far working towards a typical school year. He was spending most of his time in the library as per normal. And when Sunday morning came around, he made his way to the garden for Creature Appreciation. It was the one and only club that Ethan had joined to for the most part make his parents happy. Course it wasn’t always enough but he found enjoyment in participating.
Upon arrival Ethan was not surprised that both the James’ were there. Noah and Charlotte were always there first and today was no exception. “Hey Noah, Hey Charlotte,” The Ravenclaw greeted the two. “Ready for another year?”

When it was time for the Creature Club to meet up, Deccy was very excited since it was one of his favorite clubs. The blond met up with his bestest friend in the whole world and the two of them headed down together. Declan was decked out in one of Seb's sweaters and his new trainers, also wearing a pair of shorts. Walking out into the sunlight, Declan squinted a little, shielding his blue eyes from the sun. "It's so bright out here!" Declan exclaimed, then smiled at Sebby. As they walked down over to the area where the club met up, Deck made sure that Sebby didn't stumble or trip down the hill. Already in the club area was Noah, Charlotte, and Ethan. "Hey everyone! Seb and I are here!" There came a call from the sky and Declan glanced up, seeing his owl circling above them. The blond held out his arm and Skye dived down, landing on the teen's arm. Declan produced a treat from his pocket and fed it to his pet.

Seb was happy to meet up with Deccy, ready to go to another club meeting. There were about a trillion clubs, it seemed, and he was in a bunch of them. Before he left, Seb pushed his camera into his pocket, then pat his shoulders beside the bed. With a soft hop, Zoot was up on his shoulders, snuggling against the teen's messy blue hair. From there, he had to hurry down to the fifth floor landing where he always met up with Deccy. Once together, the two headed down to the big doors.
They stepped into the sunshine and Seb grinned at Dec's words. His new glasses were slowly darkening into sunglasses, thanks to his optometrist's recommendation. "It would be, but Mama got me these cool new glasses this year. They turn into sunnies all on their own!" He was very glad about the rather mundane "magic" involved. He walked alongside his friend as they headed to the club. "Yep! Plus Zoot and Skye too. Ready to meet some neat creatures. Also I got my camera, so I can get news pictures too." He grinned happily, excited for the day.
