action - Garden near cafeteria

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Here's Ron with a sandwich in his mouth (when isn't he without one?), his brows set in a deep scowl as he reads over his new schedule for the upcoming term. He's seated on a bench near the cafeteria, his rucksack on the ground next to his legs.

Part of him wonders if Harry and even Hermione got the same classes as him, while the other part KNOWS they didn't and that he'll be alone. Sigh.

But ... Ballroom Dancing? Defensive Driving? Merlin is somehow out to make his life miserable here.]

[And here's Volug in halfshifted form, padding right up to Ron and looking everything like a big, wolfy dog. He peers briefly at Ron's schedule, but he's more interested in the smells coming off that sandwich. He's totally eyeing that sandwich.]

[Hope was relishing his ability to eat as much as he liked. That virus had made him lose a bit of weight, so they were trying to keep him on a high calorie diet just for a couple of weeks. He noticed the ginger wizard on his way in.]

Hey.

[Hope stopped to say hi. He couldn't remember the guys name, but he'd been nice and welcoming the first time.]

How've you been?

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

[Normally, Apollo'd pass over Ron - worried Cadets just weren't his style - but the minute he realizes that's a new schedule? Eh, why not. He's got nothing better to do.]

Something wrong with the schedule?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Ron, not expecting there to be any Animagus around in Garden, jumps on the bench, straightening up in surprise.]

Er -

[Muffled sound around his sandwich, he pulls it out of his mouth and chews:] You lost?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Hey it's that kid... from before...]

Been better, mate. You? How you been holdin' out? Been a while since I last seen you.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Eh? [Looks up and then frowns.] Yeah - you could say that.

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

Could say that? Dude, you've gotta be more specific. Any teachers gonna give you grief?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Nah, doubt it'd be that. [Ron holds out the schedule (http://lionizations.livejournal.com/2173.html) for Apollo to look over.]

What d'you see wrong with that?

[noras-boy.livejournal.com]

I... kinda got sick. Really sick. But I'm better now. Able to leave the infirmary and everything.

[Hope gives a smile.]

It feels good to not have to sit there for hours on end.

[black-wildheart.livejournal.com]

[Volug barks once, then sits on the ground, whining slightly. Also, he's eyeballing the new and improved location of Ron's sandwich.]

[Botan is heading towards the Cafeteria after forgetting about breakfast...and dinner last night. It's not just the students that dread the first day of classes. Instructors have to get their stuff in gear with lesson plans and these Time Compressions have not been helping. S-so hungry... but there's a cadet. Upset.

...her stomach can wait.]

Everything alright, dear?

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

For one thing, I won't be your DRIV 101 teacher. [cracks a grin] And you've got Farron, so that should be interesting.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Instructor Farron? They strict?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Squints at the dog and tries to figure out its responses.]

This would be a whole lot easier if you were an Animagus like Sirius...

[Takes another bite of his sandwich.]

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Good on you, then! [Ron returns the smile with a crooked grin.]

I remember the days of being stuck in Madame Pomfrey's ward in Hogwarts myself. Bloody right bored for hours.

[black-wildheart.livejournal.com]

[Arrrrgh, so frustrating! Why won't the beorc just give him some delicious sandwich?

Volug whines for a second more, then jumps up, trying to take a bite!]

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

H- HEY!

[Jerks the sandwich out of the way before those teeth can snap onto it, scowling.]

Bloody he-- the hell's gotten into you?! Your mum teach you no manners?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Huh? Me?

[Looks up from the schedule, brows lifting up into his ginger bangs.]

[black-wildheart.livejournal.com]

[Volug reverts back to human form, grinning eeever so slightly.]

Fast reflexes, beorc.

[notaferry.livejournal.com]

[Botan nods, taking a seat right next to him.]

Yes, you looked as if something was the matter. Is anything wrong?

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever seen her smile... so probably.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Muffles his groan against his sandwich as he takes a big bite.]

Great.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

'Scuse me? Bee-ork?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Ron gestures to his schedule.]

Just some of my courses, that's all really.

[black-wildheart.livejournal.com]

That is what you are, Child of Wisdom. Beorc. Those with metal fangs and fire at their fingertips.

[And sandwiches.]

What troubles you?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Opens his mouth and feels at his canines and then sends a glance down at his own fingertips.]

Er - right. There ain't any fire coming out of my fingers, mate. And I got no 'metal fangs' - just normal teeth.

Troubles me? Oh, you mean this here?

[Ron gestures to his schedule.]

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't worry about it, though. It's just MOV 101. [The urge to ruffle his hair, despite the supposedly one year age difference, is rising.]

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Just what I need. Suppose I should be happy then, two extra slots free.

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Best way to look at it. [plops down beside Ron and takes out a granola bar from his pocket]

... Right, I'm Instructor Apollo. Don't think I've seen you around before.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Look a bit young for an instructor. [Eyes him and then shifts his attention to that granola bar.]

Can't really remember when I got here. Been a while.

/icon fail

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

[Breaks off a piece and offers it to Ron] It runs in my family. The whole "younger than we actually are" thing? I'm actually like, 23.

Oh, and I made the granola bar myself, so let me know how it tastes.

derp derp!

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Er - cheers.

[He takes up the offered piece, eyes it for a moment and begins to slowly bring it to his mouth. Suddenly he pauses to wave the morsel at Apollo.]

What d'you reckon's in it?

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

Oats, granola... maybe some dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips... whatever I could find, really. Do you like it?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

[Ron, usually one to inhale his food without savoring it, takes a moment to take in the taste. It's probably the chocolate chips... He makes a 'mmm' sound and gives Apollo a thumbs up.]

Mmfph! S'real good. You said you made it yourself?

[poetry-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [Ron is totally feeding his ego and it shows.] It's not that hard to make, so I could show you sometime if you'd like.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Wicked. [A bit of a crooked grin; ignore the odd oat stuck in between two of his upper teeth.]
