Where: Hogsmeade
When: Saturday
Warnings: Varied!

The not so newly appointed Headmistress of Hogwarts checked the last name off on her parchment list and dropped her hands to her side, watching with a stern but mildly worried expression as the stragglers loped off in the direction of the Village.

"Is this a good idea?" She asked, not looking away from the quickly moving backs of the students and thus giving the professor standing beside her no indication that they were being spoken to directly. Nevertheless, Minerva had a way of speaking that meant whether the question were meant for you or no, you felt responsible for answering it.

"I did not foresee any dire events on this day, Headmistress...." Professor Trelawney intoned, her thick and dreamy voice somewhat questioning, not certain that the question had an answer at all, and certainly not sure that she had found it.

It did manage to snap the Headmistress out of whatever thoughts had kept her standing still, however. McGonagall's mouth drew into an even tighter, sterner line and she sent the quill and parchment flying back to her office and started, herself, down the road toward Hogsmeade Village. As she adjusted her large hat, words carried on the wind that might have sounded a bit like, "Of course you didn't, barmy bat."

Professor Trelawney, fortunately, did not hear.

The Owl Office: Megan & OPEN

Megan Jones had been counting down the days for their first Hogsmeade trip of the term. Alright, so they'd only been at school for a month...but, well, it was Hogsmeade! Because of Megan's non-magical homestead and the negative political air floating about it wasn't a surprise that she didn't go out of her way that summer holiday to...travel north for a little Hogsmeade visit. That would have just been a little counter productive.

Besides....it'd have taken away from the anticipation of going for the last- first time of a term. Which was...in many ways...a strange thought.

Having excused herself from her usual group of Hufflepuff pals, Megan had ventured into the Post Office to pick up a package her brother had sent to her earlier that week. She'd received a special notice saying that the package was being held there due to special delivery request. Though the gesture was a bit odd...she went to receive what was hers. Standing in the short queue formed of locals, Megan was only there briefly before another Hogwarts student entered the place. Offering a smile she said a cordial, "Hullo."

Branwen had been rather surprised to find that it was the Hogsmeade trip that morning, but had decided to make the most of it. Sasha was off with K Bundy for a bit, so she decided to go down to the Owl Post Office. She did have her own owl of course, but Liath was off delievering a message to the Exeter Dunstans to pass on to her family, and she had a question she wanted to ask Tristan. She could have just used the school owls, but she wasn't fond of the Owlery.

When Branwen opened the door to the Owlery she was greeted by another Hogwarts student. She paused to consider the girl in front of her. She came to the conclusion that it was a Seventh Year Hufflepuff, and deciding that it wouldn't contravene her promise to her uncle, she replied.

"Hello," she said softly, with a small smile, "I'm afraid we haven't met before."

Megan returned the girls smile and turned her body slightly to extend her hand. "Megan Jones, Hufflepuff," she introduced herself. Suddenly, she was very much aware that she didn't exactly know who this one was either.

Well, all right, Megan knew the girl was a Ravenclaw. Having spent a number of years going over the snooty blue and bronze table to pester her kid brother three terms below herself, Megan made note of who sat where. That didn't mean, of course, that she knew the girl's name or specific year.

Megan didn't particularly care to keep track of all that for everyone.

	"Branwen Dunstan, Ravenclaw, Sixth Year" she replied, taking Megan's hand, and shaking it with a smile. "You just made the Quidditch team, didn't you? Congratulations!" That was one of the best things about having Sasha Fawcett for a best friend - you knew everything that was going on, and you got most of the reports with a fair bit of accuracy.

Megan was actually a little surprised Branwen knew more about her than just her face. It was a little awkward and the slight furrow of her brow acknowledged this. Course, that was quickly wiped away as she replied, "Thanks! Five years of trying and I finally got the spot."

As she said this she chuckled and took a step forward in the queue. The older woman who'd been at the front of the line passed them and exited the shop. Megan of course kept with conversation. "D'you play at all?"

Branwen caught Megan's slight surprise in her usual observant manner. Embarrased, she said, "Sorry! I have a tendancy to do that. Sasha's so much into the rumour mill that I pick up on things, and," she shrugged, "I always comment on them. It kind of confuses people, but I don't mean to! Not," she added, "to say that I'm not pleased to hear you made the team."

Branwen followed the line forward a step, and apoligised, "I don't. I don't understand it at all. My cousin tried to explain i to me, and I even read books about it, but I just can't comprehend its complexities."
