IC January 7th °° Outside with 3 benches, one with a box with badges in it °° Please Owl if you aren't in the club and want to Reply so i can have some warning. Glad to finally be doing this!
It was 2 days since the Christmas break was over, a the first day classes were in section. Within the last week Michael had planned, and put up flyers, made badges, and wrote letters. All for his Club. Pureblood Union of Renascent Eminence. He smiled at the name of it. It felt official and professional, he loved it. His club would help all the students, he just knew it.
Michael hummed as he hurried down to the Club area, three benches having table cloths he had gotten from a very eager house elf, who asked him about colors, designs and even material but getting one, in his hands. He set them up quickly, sighing when the wind blew them off the tables. Ten minutes later, and a trip to the library, he was taping the cloths down.
He had a small box full of badges he had spelt the night making, and welcome letters with wax seals on them, cold from the minutes sitting in the box. He smiled as he put them down. It wasn't quite 5 so he knew it would be a little bit before the other memebers and hopefully others came.
He looked at the sky, the sun hidden by clouds, as he waited. Classes would be letting out now, his potions class let out early for those done with the potion assigned, so he smiled politely and stood up straight and waited.

Present and ready to attend the first P.U.R.E. meeting and offering help to @Michael Miller
Simon went from classes back to his dormitory, just for a quick moment. Being done with classes for the day and not really intending to go to supper that evening, he slipped out of his Hufflepuff attire and slipped on some more casual clothes, one including a hooded sweatshirt. He preferred those much more over the crewneck kind because they had the ability to shield him from the sun when he needed it to and he didn't look like a complete outcast. A bit of one, but not complete.
Simon then put a few things in his bag. He liked to carry some water with him, some parchment and quills for notes if he ever needed to write something down, his paper calendar that he still used, and a few other things like a book just in case there was ever a free bit of time. Always prepared. He would have made an excellent boy scout.
The Outdoor Club area was not somewhere he was familiar with. In fact, he really hadn't been out on the grounds of Hogwarts much at all since his arrival on day one. He went to the Great Lake once after dark, and he had a snowball fight once upon the grounds, also after dark. Being out here in the light was a whole different perspective and he actually walked backwards some of the way to marvel at the castle that was his school, his second home.
Thankfully it was a cloudy day. A fellow first year, Michael Miller, was organizing a club to teach those about the pureblood ways of the wizarding world and being someone from the outside, Simon was interested to learn this culture. It was a great idea for a club!
When Simon arrived, he saw Michael setting up. "What can I help with?" he asked, wanting to do whatever he could to help the boy. Simon enjoyed helping others.
Be kind to one another. (*iNPC is Miles Thatcher)

Henry started his way toward the outdoor club away with his messager type bag seated on his shoulder and within it a few stacks of flyers for the club he was attending. Over the past few day's, Henry has been helping his friend get the word about his out by mostly sticking the flyers everywhere he could and hope no one would take them down.
Loki, his orange cat was besides him as he walked to the club even through he should have left him back at the dormitory the feline refused to stay and the twelve year old didn't want him to wander around the castle alone so he took him to the club.
The club: P.U.R.E was founded by his rather close and one of his best friends; Michael and gave a pretty good message. It was about showing that your blood doesn't make you evil and changing perspectives at least that was what Henry thought when he joined and unofficially started helping Mike spread the word about his club.
As Henry approached the spot, he saw two figures already there and moved a bit quicker toward them. He noticed Michael and Simon there, an hufflepuff whom he enjoyed the company of. His feline friend went to say hi to both boy's since Loki seemed to trust them both as Henry spoke " hey mates! It's nice to see you again Simon and Mike, need any help?"

Michael smiled as he saw Simon, "Welcome!" He said, then saw Henry, Loki at his side. "Hey, Henry! Just in time" he said and clapped his hands together. He had work that needed to get done and these boys would be perfect for helping.
Michael smiled at both boys. "Actually i do. Henry, can you help me with my letters? I have some i didn't seal yet, and the wax is going to take forever to do alone. Simon, i have my badges that need the back but on them." He said moving and getting out his wax kit and stamp. He had got it when he came to hogwarts, going through muggle London with his grandparents one day, they told him he could write them letters from Hogwarts and seal them with Green wax so they'd know it was from him. It sat used until January 6th. He snapped out of his thought and handed it to Henry, then grabbing the box of badges and handing it to Simon. He smiled at Loki, "You got the best job, Loki, you can attract members" he said as he knelt down and petted the cat.
Michael hummed as he stood back up sitting down opposite of Henry and Simon, and grabbing another stamp and getting started. He hoped they were done by the time the other people got down to them, as he didn't need anything else to worry about.

Fixing pins and talking with @Michael Miller and @Henry Knight
Simon took the pins and found a spot under the shade of a tree to offer some more shelter from the sun although the clouds were providing a pretty good defense that evening. He took a pin in his hand and examined it, looking over the design on the front before flipping it over to see the other side and how the back was done so he could mimic it on the others. "Did you have yours yet?" he asked Michael and then held one out to Henry since he had just arrived. "Here you go, Henry."
Simon then realized he really hadn't introduced himself to the founder of this club. The boy had quite a remarkable idea for a club and he was glad to be part of it and hoped that he had a lot of success with it. "I'm Simon, by the way. Simon Kincaid. First Year Hufflepuff." It seemed that he should provide that other bit of information because the other question that everyone always asked at Hogwarts after your name was what year you were in and what house so he went ahead and provided that information.
Simon then took one of the pins and put it on his hoodie, making sure that the design was straight and not upside down. He wanted to represent Michael's new club well.
"Oh and compliments to the idea of the club," he added. "I'm new to the wizarding world and as Henry is showing me...just like everything else you can't always trust what you read in books or hear. I haven't heard too many preconceived notions of purebloods but I love learning about different cultures and am glad to be somewhere where I can learn some of the customs and in such an open environment."
Henry had told him in a prior conversation that one couldn't always believe all of the things that they read about magical creatures in the books. Some of them were wrong. It was why the two boys were having their little study group in a sense. "It's good to see you here too, Henry."

Sarah was ecstatic to be back at Hogwarts. It was perhaps unusual, most people her age likely longing for it to be Christmas once more. But the young Slytherin was just happy to be back at the school she felt more at home at than the house she’d been raised. She didn’t get on with her father on a good day, but the final few days of the holidays had been particularly difficult. He’d been irritated by the increase in non-pure blood workers for the company – something to do with anti-discrimination rules which his workplace was failing to meet.
As usual, Sarah hadn’t known when to keep quiet, deciding that telling her father the change was long overdue in her opinion. He’d been angry, practically livid that she’d spoken out of turn, and brought out the threat of pulling her out of Hogwarts again. This time he’d actually considered it, almost following through on the empty threat he’d been using for the past six months. Sarah was overwhelmingly relieved when he’d allowed her to return and vowed to at least try not to anger him and give him another excuse to punish her. The key word being try.
It was only the second day back and she was already breaking the promise she’d made herself. She’d jumped at the invitation to the P.U.R.E. meeting without a second’s thought, even though she knew it was something her father would loathe. But he wasn’t here, and Sarah knew she would never let his narrow-mindedness rule how she lived her own life long ago. So here she was, making her way over to the area she knew to be reserved for outdoor club meetings, having grabbed her warmer clothes from her dorm after final class, even opting to mess up her hair for the sake of a warm head. Despite this, the cold still bit at her nose and fingers, so she crossed her arms, hoping to retain some of the warmth she’d had inside the castle. "Merlin, it's bloody freezing," She huffed, watching as her breath formed a cloud to form before her face.
When she caught sight of what she assumed was the beginnings of the meeting, she slowed her steps enough to quietly observe before approaching. She noted the benches which were no doubt as frigid as the light wind which ruffled her hair, the pretty patterned table clothes which adored the tables, and the small box which sat upon one of them. Her lip quirked upwards slightly, noting the effort which no doubt had gone into this.
“Hi, am I in the right place?” Sarah asked, her voice steady enough to hide the slight unease she felt as she approached the small group. She recognised Henry, but the other two were basically strangers to her. Michael – a first year in her house – was someone she’d seen around the common room before, though she’d utterly scarce more than a hello to him all year. The other boy she didn’t recognise. She offered Henry a small smile and nod of greeting before turning back to look at the other two. “I’m Sarah, Sarah Lightwood,” She introduced herself, contemplating sticking her hand out to shake each of the boys’ but not wanting to move them away from the relative warmth offered by the crossed position of her arms.

Working on the pins, hanging with @Michael Miller and @Henry Knight and introducing self to @Sarah Lightwood
He had finished with a good handful of pins now which was good because other members were now heading towards the Outdoor Club Area. A girl came by, seeming cold by the way she was walking. Simon didn't think so but then again he couldn't remember a time when he had felt cold and he glanced down, realizing he only had the hooded sweatshirt on. Did that seem peculiar? Maybe he should have brought that puffy winter coat that his aunt had gotten him.
The girl came closer and he instantly noticed her green hair. That was an interesting choice for a hair color but it suited the girl - not just because she was a Slytherin but it worked with her pretty face and features. She made introductions instantly and he shook her hand.
"Pleasure to meet you, Sarah. I'm Simon Kincaid." He looked over to Michael, wondering whether he should give the girl a pin or not. Surely he wanted them distributed to all of the coming members though, duh. That's why he was having Simon put the backs on them. "Hufflepuff," he added because it seemed everyone wanted to know what house someone was in. He then collected one of the finished pins and held it out to her with a kind smile. "Welcome."

Ten minutes later, as Simon made good progress and Michael had succeeded in getting wax on his dress pants, Sarah arrived. Michael got up, and walked from the bench he was at, shaking her hand. Nodding at Simon in thanks we he handed her the badge. " Welcome, I'm having the house elfs bring us some Hot Chocolate at 5:10, so all the members can get some." He said noticing her shakes. He himself didn't feel the cold, or not as much. But his body natural ran hot.
He moved over, grabbing a coat he had brought, just in case he did get chills, and gave it to Sarah. "Can't have my members freezing to death" he joked.
When every one was settled and he was back in his seat. He hummed, "Do any of you play instruments?" He asked looking around. Henry was still doing the wax seals, a small stack of letters by him, Loki laying on the table by him. Simon looked like he was almost finished with the task given to him, the badges shining in the box they laid in. And finally, Sarah sat at a bench, wrapped up. He wondered if this was all that was going to come.

Talking music with @Michael Miller, getting ready for the meeting to start with @Henry Knight and @Sarah Lightwood
"Oh I love to play. I'm hoping to learn trumpet next perhaps but not sure how I'll do on a horn instrument," Simon spoke up quickly. Music was his biggest interest, honestly. "I play the piano, guitar, and saxophone."
He finished the last pin on the back of a badge and set them down. "I can hand these out as people come, if you'd like. No trouble." Plus, it wasn't like he was going to have his hands needing the hot chocolate anyway. It wasn't his choice of drink. In fact, he hated chocolate. Still, he applauded the club's founder for seeming to have everything figured out. Michael was sure well organized with all this.
"I only have my guitar with me though at Hogwarts. Well, that and then there's the piano in the Rehearsal Room luckily. I think I heard there might be one in the Ballroom as well but when I went there last the doors were locked. I hate that my saxophone is all the way back in London but I wouldn't dare send for it. Can you imagine the school owls trying to carry something like that for post? I can see them dropping it during breakfast and it landing on a poor unsuspecting Hufflepuff as they try to eat their oatmeal."

As he watched Simon try to hand him a badge that was when Henry took out his own from his messager type bag as he spoke " I already have one, don't worry mate," before nodding to Michael and starting to put seals on the letter while Simon begun to talk about being knew to the wizarding world was when another joined them whom Henry also knew as Sarah. Henry would smile to her as he spoke " hey," however Loki would approached her wearing his leather jacket with the santa patch that was a gift from Alec during the secret santa errand so he wouldn't get cold.
Loki would give the slytherin girl a sniff before turning his back on her and going back to Simon as he then sat in front of the hufflepuff to watch what he was doing but also to keep a eye out for any new comers.
"I play volin and piano, I'm also learning guitar," Henry replied to Michael's question if any of them know any instruments before turning his attention to Simon who was talking about instruments and also seemed to finish the badges. Henry placed the last seal on the letter before putting them into a neat little stack and handing them to Michael as he spoke " I'm finished to mate, need any other help?" Henry would then reach into his bag and bring out a muggle camera showing the other three before saying " I thought I could take a few photos tonight Mike to help spread the word about the club?" The twelve year old always liked photography and he was quite good at it which was probably why he volunteer to do it.
