Nell arrived at the cabin, which hopefully was the correct one. The Augurey Cabin, was what it was called. Nell made her way inside the cabin, noticing two other girls. She knew almost immediately that they weren't from Hogwarts, but it wasn't extremely important. Nell heard one of the girls speaking... angrily? in French to the other girl. She knew French pretty well, but decided against hopping into the conversation.

Nell made her way into a different room. This room held some bunk beds, which Nell assumed were the sleeping arrangements. She wasn't exceptionally close with anyone, but she hoped to change that in the school year. For now, she had to wait for other students to arrive and gather the courage to ask one of them to be her bunkmate. Nell wasn't even quite sure who would be in the cabin with her.

She walked to the window in another room, looking outside at the gorgeous scenery. Nell was glad to be staying at this cabin, it was a beautiful location. She really enjoyed the colors here too: mute and minimalistic, but still homely. Nell heard the now very dramatic sounding girl say "Cass". It must be the other girl's name... She didn't want to eavesdrop but it was difficult when Nell both new French and the girl was speaking very, very loudly.

The blow of being separated from his brother upon registration was softened the moment Ruka realised that at least he would have Kazuo for company in his temporary home for the rest of the summer. It was a great comfort, one Ruka had immediately emphasised by reaching for his friend's hand on their way to the cabin to cling tightly to it as they walked. A comfort he had grown accustomed to since the end of the last school year, and Kazuo had yet to tell him to back off, so Ruka was happy to continue doing as he had been.

With Kazuo's hand in his own and Fuwafuwa perched proudly on his shoulder - as proud as a small grey ball of fluff could possibly look - he almost felt confident as they entered their cabin. Augurey. The Irish Phoenix. It made Ruka smile to keep his gaze locked on the greenish vulture-like bird moving on the flag decorating their accommodations. "The cry of an Augurey foretells rainfall," he told Kazuo brightly as they walked through the door, which was the moment in which he mercifully let go of his friend's hand to take a look around. Their cabin was much bigger on the inside than it had appeared to be on the outside - Anybody say TARDIS? - and his own talk of rainfall was represented by the sound of droplets pattering against the windows despite the lack of showers outside. The sound, however, was drowned out by the voice of a girl speaking to another in a language Ruka didn't understand. Guests from others schools then, he supposed.

Fuwafuwa offered a disgruntled hoot as she fluttered off his shoulder to instead settle on top of one of the bunk beds, looking disgustingly pleased with herself. "Fuwa," Ruka chided her, rolling his eyes before giving Kazuo's side a small nudge and beckoning the other boy to follow. With a few graceful steps up the ladder, Ruka tossed his belongings on the top bunk, next to his obviously comfortable owl. "Don't go thinking this is your bed now," he told her, reaching a hand out to pet her soft feathers before jumping off the ladder again to take in the interior of their cabin. It was peaceful somehow, and he felt thoroughly out of place in his Cheshire hoodie. In fact, his entire wardrobe was bound to seem out of place in here but he couldn't quite bring himself to mind.

With a small smile on his face, Ruka decided to seat himself on the bottom bunk, whether Kazuo had dropped his things on it yet or not, to curiously watch the other arriving people and the two girls already in the midst of conversation. He hadn't exactly seen a lot of familiar faces on his way to the cabin, but for a change he felt alright with that. What were a few strangers as long as he could face them with pleasant company by his side.

Amelie | The Scar | Outfit

Amelie had been reluctant to come here. She didn’t really like people enough to warrant spending a month with strangers. She supposed she was thankful that her mother had insisted on her attendance this year rather than last. At least now she knew how to handle herself and the funny looks and cruel words which people tended to throw her. In her first year, she’d been reluctant to stand up for herself, but she’d no longer take things lying down. It was better to be feared than to be scared – she didn’t want to eb the victim anymore.

So, despite her many arguments, her mother had shipped her off to another country for the summer in order to ‘make new friends’ and ‘have a good time’. Amelie wasn’t so sure, pessimistic until her dying breath. Still, she supposed the train ride here hadn’t been a complete disaster, even if her scarred face had put one or two other students off sitting in her train carriage. Perhaps this summer really could be not entirely awful. After all, she would be meeting others from all over the place – maybe even someone from her mother’s old school in France. She hoped they were less narrowminded and looks-oriented than many of those from her school.

Her thoughts had distracted her long enough for the group she’d been assigned to reach their cabin. Augurey, the most solemn looking of all the magical birds. How fitting, she thought sarcastically as she realised her face had assumed its usual look – lips slightly turned down, and eyes sharp in a small scowl. ‘Give it a chance,’ her mother’s words were the last thing she thought of when she walked into the cabin. She decided she’d take her mother’s advice, for once in her life, and give her cabin mates a chance at the very least.

The two girls she saw first, all bright smiles and quick tongues as they spoke in French – something Amelie might have been able to understand slightly if they’d just slow down, or maybe if she actually bothered to listen – seemed too much of a challenge. So, she walked past them, duffel still in hand and entered another room. Despite herself, her lips twitched upwards when she saw the bunkbeds and she was immediately filled with memories of sharing with her brother when they were younger. He brought forward a hope that this month really could be good, or at least bearable. He was proof that kindness existed within people.

Looking around her new ‘home’, Amelie decided she liked the muted colour scheme – it was calming for her, someone who very rarely felt anything but on edge when she wasn’t at home. It will be fun, she tried to convince herself as her eyes caught on a another girl with long dark hair, one who wasn’t speaking a mile a minute. Perhaps she could try to introduce herself. Her instincts weren’t telling her to run from this girl and her instincts were usually spot on. “Do you think the other cabins can also hear their conversation?” She asked before she could talk herself out of it, letting her lips form around a small almost smile.

After some of the summer spent at his grandparents' house, Alec was more than happy to getaway. Things were a mess in general. and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get on out of there. What better way to leave the mess and walk away from it than summer camp? His summer had been stressful, with many personal issues with family members. Him becoming increasingly upset and frustrated. It was a nice thought to be aware that you were going to be able to get away for just a little while before heading off to school. Alec came with a package of new issues after this first part of his summer, therefore, bottling all his emotions and pushing them down so he could have a fun summer before the school year would be begin was worth it.

Upon getting onto the train Alec headed straight for the nail polish shoved in his bag. Trying to paint his nails while the train was moving. The result was semi-perfect nails. Good enough.

After arriving the rules were gone through and made very clear. Cabin assignments were given out and Alec had been led to the Augurey, his eyes catching all the different flags as he walked over. The flags looked as if they were charmed maybe Alec could ask and figure out if they could charm the Augurey one to make its call before the rain started. Rain was also unlikely, but it was a small world. Alec would settle for the fact that it could at least happen once. If not Alec had to figure out what the exact call was and replay it in his head for the sake of doing so.

Alec's lips peaked to a smile at his thoughts, turning into a grin as he entered the cabin. Alec standing still for a moment as he looked around, before making his way to check out every nook and cranny of the cabin. He figured it gave him some time to adjust before more people made their way over. The mute color of the cabin was calming, it put him more at ease than he was expecting. The quiet patter becoming noticeable right away. Making the rounds Alec eventually found himself by the bunk area, peeking by the doorway before entering fully.

The first thing he noticed upon entering was how everybody was clinging to those they were familiar with. Alec was pretty sure he knew by face, maybe not by name, but face a few people around here. Nell was the obvious one, his eyebrows twisted in memory of her. His stutter had not at all aided him in speaking to her.

The girls that had grouped off may have been the only ones he didn't know. He had some names, he wasn't particularly close with any of the kids here but he figured his best bet after entering the room was to take the bottom bunk one after Ruka. Setting down his bag on the bottom bunk, before quietly taking a seat on the edge of his bed.

Kazuo stifled a yawn as he followed Ruka toward their cabin, feeling too much like he’d only just left the damn school. Could he not have stayed in Tokyo for the entire break? At least he had Jack and Ruka with him even if Jack was in a different cabin. Too bad Jack had to share his cabin with a stalker but at least Jensen-sensei was their chaperone. He doubted the Slytherin Head of House - and rumoured Swedish Spy - would allow any trouble. His Magical Beasts friend, Eirian, was also in Jack’s cabin… he’d make sure to ask her to keep an eye on things.

As they’d set out across the grounds, Ruka had grabbed his hand, a frequent occurrence of late. Though it still felt strange, the casual touch that was oddly intimate, he had grown used to it. Perhaps even liked it when Ruka reached for his hand. He certainly wouldn’t have allowed it with anyone else, though. Haru let out a sleepy mrow and poked his head out from Kazuo’s hood as they reached the cabin, clawing his way onto Kazuo’s shoulder. “Just in time to see your temporary home, Haru.” He murmured to the spotted furball.

He tilted his head slightly when Ruka spoke. “Augury,” he commented, playing on the similarity of the bird’s name and the practice of reading omens. “Is the ancient Roman practice of predicting omens based on bird behaviour. Do you think that’s where the ugly duckling got its name from?” He also took a moment to look around, taking in the minimalistic feel of the cabin. The soft sound of rain reminded him of the rainy season in Tokyo and a small smile appeared on his lips for the briefest of moments before it was gone. Then his gaze was travelling over the two girls, eyes narrowing a bit as he concentrated on their foreign words. “French?” He guessed. “Beauxbatons?”

Ruka drew his attention with a nudge and he followed, studying the bunk beds with mild disapproval. They were adequate but small-looking, and it made him miss his bed back in London. Even his bed in the Scamander dorm looked more comfortable than the cubbies. Could he even read comfortably in there? He let his suitcase sit beside the bed, discarding his shoes and flopping backwards on the bed to stare up at the wood. Haru disentangled himself from Kazuo’s shoulder and immediately hopped down to explore his new environment. Kazuo’s gaze shifted to Ruka and he prodded the other boy playfully with his foot when Ruka sat down on his bed. “Our chaperone is the groundskeeper… I wonder what weirdness he has planned for us….” He mused. “Maybe he plans to make us plant trees in all those holes we dug back in June…”

He glanced over at Alec as the Gryffindor chose a bed beside them, giving him a smile. He didn’t know Alec very well but they had worked on the Ball together. Cassanora he remembered as the unfortunate victim of Santario’s immobulus spell. The other three girls were complete strangers to him, though. “Who else is in our cabin?” He asked. He hadn’t been paying attention when the cabin sorting was happening; only interested in where he, Jack and Ruka would be staying.

It had been one of the more hectic mornings of Cade's year at large. Indeed so whimsical that the poor wizard had to pinch himself to be quite sure he wasn't still sleeping. They had missed the train at Kings Cross so, in order to catch it again, his mother Peggy performed multiple side-along apparitions to various stations across the countryside. Cade nearly vomited the last time. Thankfully they had eventually beat the train to the station, and after a very confusing chat with the ticket collector and a hurried farewell, Cade was admitted onto the Hogwarts Express.

The ride was long, but Cade had the entire compartment to himself and was able to collect himself and count his appendages to make sure they had come with him and were not left behind in London or Bath. Thankfully that seemed to be the last of his troubles. However, he nearly nodded off during the camp orientation. His excitement for the next month grew when he was sorted into his cabin.

The Augurey Cabin.

Cade knew from Mystical Creatures club they had talked briefly about it. Otherwise known as the Irish Phoenix. Cade briefly wondered if that meant they would be partnered with the Phoenix cabin during the camp activities. But who was to say, it was his first time attending such an activity. Cade propped open the door with a foot and peered inside to see the room was already buzzing with students. Cade was somewhat pleased he'd recognized some faces. He could throw away the irrational fear of being completely alone. But he still wanted to make new friends. He also noted how wet the cabin sounded, and had a brief glance to the ceiling to see if anyone had accidentally set a downpour in the cabin. But the sight of dark clouds were completely absent.

Entering, Cade first looped his rucksack over his shoulder and made his way towards the bunk beds, admiring the cozy decor along the way. He noticed Kaz over the way already deep in conversation about Romans and omens. A smile pulled at Cade's lips. Kazuo always had something interesting to say about history and such things. He was one of the wisest Hufflepuffs Cade knew. He continued on, deciding to greet Kazuo later on and stopped just short of a boy who had isolated himself on a bottom bunk. That wouldn't do.

"Cool nails." Cade greeted the chestnut-haired boy. "Pack any other colors?" Cade blinked before sitting on the bottom bunk across from him. He took off his bag, setting it on the floor he started rummaging around before he found a few chocolate frogs. "Want one?" He offered after opening the small parcel with his teeth. "My name is Cade by the way. Ravenclaw."
