One of the only things the previous Professor of Astronomy, Nigel Read, had requested of Farron was for her to run an errand that he had planned in the month of May. There were many religious holidays celebrated in the month of May, and there were quite a few religious students that roamed the halls of Hogwarts. This event would give them an opportunity to talk about their respective holidays and beliefs which they might not have an opportunity to do otherwise. It also gave non-religious students an opportunity to come and learn about people's beliefs. Farron would be around just in case things got out of hand, but overall the plan was to have constructive conversations about it.
She had set up in the Great Hall, getting the House Elves to provide snacks and beverages as additional incentive. But not so many snacks that they would ruin their appetite for dinner. There was pumpkin juice, water, lemonade, and hot water available for tea. Additionally there were pumpkin pasties, cupcakes, meat pies, chips (that's the English chips for you Americans reading this), and an assortment of cookies. If you had asked Farron why there were a few that seemed to be missing she would deny having anything to do about it. While she had been raised agnostic she was excited to see and hear all of the students talk about something important to them.Errand Information

Willow had heard about the errand happening in the Great Hall and leaped at the chance to participate. Any time where she got to talk about Wicca was a great day for her. Beltane had happened on May 1st and she didn't have time to do anything for it this year which disappointed her. But this would give her an opportunity to tap into her practices and connect with her Grandma who she knew was always with her in the air that surrounded her.
With a bag full of her Wiccan spell books, plant compendiums, and general information books about her practice she skipped down to the Great Hall in a better mood than she had been in a while. Upon her arrival she saw that the new Professor of Astronomy was hosting it. She hadn't really talked to her besides in class, so maybe this would be an opportunity to get to know her more. For now she gave her a quick greeting before going to plunder the snack table. Snacks were always the best part about errands since the House Elves were amazing cooks.
She plopped herself down in the middle of one of the long tables with her pumpkin juice, cookies, and meat pie. She unloaded her bag, spreading the books out in front of her for anyone to look at. Her more personal Book of Shadows was tucked away in her dorm, that was for her eyes and her eyes only. But she came armed with general knowledge and an excitement to teach others.Word Count | 258

Damion had decided to take part in the religious and traditional discussions. He might stay away from religious ones but he didn't want to sound like someone who was lecturing on something which he didn't much believe in. Traditions was something that he could lecture a little more about. He was not ready to say anything as of yet but he was still willing to see what others had to say about things. He didn't want to be a person who would stay away from things just because he was scared of their unseen outcomes. He wanted to be able to be there around things that made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Damion had made his way in Cloaks- well house cloak to the Great hall. He wanted to get something out of this meeting. He was hoping something would come out of this. He was not sure what yet. He wanted to see where this went. He was hoping that he could get some more information on the thing he was supposed to say about. He looked around and not seeing a single soul he took a seat waiting for others to arrive. He was the first one there. Which was sort of not good and sort of good.
He was not sure what it was just yet. He wanted to be there but also wanted some people to arrive before him. He looked around and smiled as he sat down on one of the chairs there. he looked anxious and ready for whatever was going to come their way. He was ready for it. He had even gotten a book on his traditions that he could read out loud from. He looked around and smiled as he waited for people to arrive. He was the first one and took a seat quietly.

This was getting to be a common thing for him.
That is, being dragged by a friend somewhere. This time it was Bailey Glade.
Always on top of things, she'd ambushed him as soon as he'd come out of his common room and dragged him off, telling him about the new errand that was being carried on inside the Great Hall. Something about 3 religious feasts and learning about faiths and religions. Kim couldn't follow, as everything was happening so fast for him. But eventually, he understood, as soon as they'd reached the place. This particular errand seemed to be made for the tall boy.
It encompassed two of his favorite things. Learning about something and delicious food being served. What more could one ask for? Kim was dressed in casual clothes, as it was the weekend, a Saturday if one wanted to be technical about it. He wore a black shirt and navy pants, along with a black leather jacket. As Bailey took him into the Great Hall, Kim looked around. He immediately spotted the snacks on top of the tables but that was to be expected.
Kim wasn't called the Prince of Sweets for nothing.
Colin had been right on target with his nickname, although Kim also like food too.
If anyone saw him when he'd entered with Bailey, or rather being dragged by Bailey, they would have noticed that Kim's eyes had immediately zeroed in on the food tables.
He couldn't help it, Kim loved food and was obsessed with it, especially sweets. Still, the meat pies and 'chips' were quite tempting and he decided he'd sample them first and go for the sweets afterward. Dinner before dessert. However, this was an errand according to Bailey, which seemed to be correct as he saw Professor Farron standing inside the room. Before he could make a move, someone else passed by them, greeted the teacher and then went over.
Straight to the food tables. Well, if she could do it... Kim nodded to the professor and then headed over to the snacks, picking up a few meat pies, some 'chips' and a sampling of every dessert available. He also poured some hot water and grabbed a tea bag to take with him. Heading over to the same table the girl from before had settled down at, Kim placed his satchel down beside him and looked over at the stranger. He hadn't met her before this point.
Perfect.
Someone new. Oddly enough, that made him wonder if Bailey already knew her.
Bailey would probably come and take a seat next to him soon enough but until then he'd make some introductions. "Yo. I'm Kim. I take it you celebrate some kind of religion? What do you believe in?" He asked, curious. The books she'd spread out around her looked quite interesting and he was kind of fascinated by them. Kim himself did not practice any kind of religion but he was interested in all of them. Knowledge was power.

AngelFyre was nervous, but she was mostly excited at this unexpected opportunity to talk about faith and learn more about other faiths at the school. Truly, adjusting to the magic and the new vocabulary and the new classroom subjects was not nearly as difficult as trying to figure out the internal conflicts that arose from the points where her faith collided with magic.
The whole half of the year before Christmas break had been simply miserable, largely due to this very subject. She had felt alone which made it even worse, and the very few times she attempted to bring it up she felt were not welcomed. She had felt kind of stuck in this dark abyss until she met Simon. He was a God send to her for a lot of reasons, but most especially because he was a faithful Christian as was she. Unlike herself though, he was so darn enthusiastic about magic. They had spent some time talking about her conflicts, but it was a big subject and they did not, and could not, know everything. They could only try. The good thing about their discussions for AngelFyre was that they had resulted in an excitement on AngelFyre's part to really lean into her magical self. Baby steps
These conflicts would not be what she wanted to talk to her fellow classmates about, however. She was just honestly curious about what deeper influences guided and inspired some of the people around her. It was a subject not often spoken of in public, so this was a very welcome opportunity.
When she got down to the great Hall, it was still pretty empty, but there were familiar faces. She saw the new Astronomy professor, Professor Horne, and her former Hufflepuff Prefect, Willow Anderson. She smiled widely and waved at Willow as she walked in, impressed with the display that Willow had spread out before her. Wow. Willow came prepared. There has got to be a good portion of Ravenclaw in that humble Hufflepuff.
AngelFyre brought nothing but herself and her enchanted satchel, which had her Bible tucked away safely. She always had that with her, so it was not along for the ride simply because of this meeting, but it was nice to know it was there if it were ever needed.
She went and grabbed a lemonade and a couple of cookies and walked over to where Willow was sitting. "Mind if I join you, Willow? It looks like you have got quite an interesting display here. If my memory serves, you are Wiccan, correct?"

Extressia was walking inside, wondering how to interact at the religious table, Extressia and her mother didn't celebrate any religion, and usually go with the most popular one because they didn't want to be left out and also because they didn't care. So when the school announced a new errand involving religion, Extressia felt indifferent to it all. But interested to hear some opinions and making new buddies and friends.
Walking down toward the hall, it looks at first impression like it was just like always, the hall with a comfy atmosphere and lighting you found in a restaurant during the night, tables and chairs, and the center stage where students go into the Sorting. But what was different wasn't any decoration, it was there was food when there wasn't supposed to be. In front, there was full of snacks of differing types, and Extressia's eyes glimmered in excitement. But not wanting to be greedy, she decided the best way to make a down-low entrance was simple. First, she was walking slowly toward where a plate of cookies was, mint chocolate to be precise, Extressia looked around. Not many people were there yet and those that did seem occupied, so quickly she took a dozen or so. She heard there was going to be dinner, but it didn't matter. She wasn't sure if she stays since she didn't know if her input would mean anything, but at least she stay to taste some cookies.
Quickly and a bit messily, she ate a couple, cookies are her favorite food, and in a few minutes she finished the batch she has taken, and hungrily she wanted to grab more. Though common sense kicked in she shook her head, trying to control herself. Wiping some crumbs she decided to just walk around. Maybe someone will talk to her but she didn't know.

Sophia didn't usually keep up with events very well. She was well-known for her tendency to sleep in the mornings if she even made it to the Great Hall on time. Other times, she just slept in and went straight to class. Today was one of those days, and she wandered into the Great Hall, curious what all of the crowds were doing there.
Amelia was perched happily upon her shoulder, excited to be able to get some air instead of being stuffed up in the dorms, or around some of the meaner owls of the Owlery.
Sophia excitedly looked around, pointing to people and telling Amelia their names when she knew them, which wasn't often. She also did the same identification of the various foods and drinks on display. Lastly, she identified Professor Horne, the new Astronomy professor. Amelia didn't seem to be getting annoyed at all the introductions. She was ever the curious owl.
Unfortunately, almost far too late, Sophia saw Kim sitting at one of the tables with an older Hufflepuff girl.
"Shoot, hide, Amelia!" she whispered to her friend. She couldn't let Kim know about Amelia just yet. It would ruin their prank. Amelia shot Sophia the owl equivalent to shaking her head and swooped under her robes, perched sideways along her ribs. Sometimes she wondered why it had to be Amelia delivering the letters, but part of her was paranoid that if it was one of the school owls, Kim could somehow connect the prank to her and Sage.
She walked toward Kim, stopping only to check herself in a reflection in one of the cups of water. It wasn't perfect, but she could see her hair was a mess. She let her hair down from its ponytail and pulled out her Comb of Vanity, giving it a quick run through her hair. Satisfied that her hair was perfectly straight and free of any waves or tangles, Sophia took her glasses off and shoved them into her inner pocket.
She didn't know why she was suddenly so keen to impress Kim, but she had been since the Ball.
"Hey Kim," she said as she carefully sat down next to him, "What are you doing here?"
She was trying to learn more about what Kim was doing there, sure, but she was also quite curious about what was actually going on. Her eyes landed on the various books and objects scattered in front of the other girl that was sitting with them. The Hufflepuff.
"Ooh," she said, full of childlike wonder, "What's all that stuff?"

Waking up, Bailey realized that it was the day of the errand!!! Getting dressed, Bailey pulled on a black tee shirt, some black leggings, her black boots with flowers on them and her jewelry. Bailey only wore jewelry occasionally, but today she was wearing a silver ring with a blue gem, a plain silver ring and a necklace with a blue pendant.
After finishing her book and munching on a croissant she had saved, Bailey decided to go ambush @Kim Sato and drag him to the Errand.
Running to the Griffindor common room/ dorm entrance, Bailey waited till Kim walked out. Luckily she only had to wait a few minutes.
When Kim walked out, Bailey pounced. Grabbing his hand she pulled him. Sensing his surprise she said “Don’t worry I’m only taking you to the great hall. There is an errand going on and I needed a friend - so I chose you. The errand is about three religious feasts and it is a chance to learn about other religions. Now…. No backing out. I’m pretty sure there will be food and if there is not, I will make you a dessert of your choice. And you can help if you want. Deal?”
Without waiting for a response, Bailey dragged Kim the rest of the way to the dining hall. Honestly I would be willing to cook with Kim either way. I should also incite Luca to come taste good before the Tournament is over- it would be a shame if he left and had not gotten to taste any of my cooking.
Looking up, Bailey realized that while she was thinking she and Kim had arrived at the Great hall.
When they entered the Great hall, Bailey said “Hello!” to Professor Farron Horne, Bailey looked around. She spotted a few familiar faces, including fellow Ravenclaw @Damion White and an elder Hufflepuff whom she knew of but hadn’t met personally, @Willow Anderson.
As Kim zeroed in on the food table, Bailey laughed and followed.
Grabbing a meat pie and some chips, Bailey also added samples of a bunch of the desserts to her plate. Pouring herself a glass of lemonade, she made her way over to where Kim was, stopping on the way to talk to Damion.
Walking up she said “Hello Damion! Congrats on making the quidditch team!!”
Moving on, Bailey saw that
@AngelFyre McCubbin and @Sophia Nelson had joined Kim and Willow.
Going over, Bailey said “Hello Sophia and AF! And hi willow! I don’t think we have gotten a chance to talk yet but I think we have met in passing. I’ve heard about you too- probably because of Syl. He gave you that friendship bracelet, right?” Bailey said, pointing to Willow’s left wrist where a yellow and black friendship bracelet was.
With that Bailey sat down and started munching on her food.
Waiting for the errand to start, Bailey asked “Has the errand already started? Is professor Horne going to make an anouncement or something or should we just start?”Word count: 514/1000

Mei woke up one morning in a better mood than usual. She had heard of an errand that was down in the great hall. Same place as the last errand she did for the broom races. She shrugged and got out of bed rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She went to the girls lavatory and splashed her face with some water and brushed her teeth. She looked in the mirror after brushing her hair. It was still kind of messy but that's how she liked it.
She walked back to the dorms and got dressed for the day. She pulled on a black sweater that had a character on it from a tv show she used to watch. She paired it with a lavender and black plaid skirt and some knee high black and purple socks. She pulled on a pair of black platform boots that had a small heel to them. She made her way through the dorms and common rooms. She walked slowly down to the Great Hall.
Mei walked in. There were already quite a few people there. Bailey, she had met her during the celebration for Ravenclaw winning five months a row. Too positive for Mei's liking. There was another girl. Mei had seen her in the common room a few times so it was obvious she was a ravenclaw. Mei didn't know her name though. There was Kim, he had caught her when she tripped and fell near the great lake. There were more people but she didn't know who they were. She let herself smile a little which was a rare sight from her. Mei hadn't smiled in a while. She smirked but never smiled.
She took one of the pumpkin pasties. They were her favorite out of all the snack laid out. She poured herself some lemonade and took a seat and watched everyone else. She was really only here to learn about religions. She was atheist herself. She didn't believe in god or that there even was a god or gods. People couldn't prove they existed so how would they know?

Damion was waiting for people to show up and was happy to see some of the crowd developing. He was not sure where he had found himself. But this was something he wanted to do. He looked around and smiled as he watched someone walk close to him. He didn't know her but he had guessed she was in her house as she congratulated him for making the Quidditch Team. Damion was happy and smiled back to her. "Thank you." He said softly. He was happy that someone was appreciating him for making the house team. He looked around trying to figure out who he recognized.
But he was failing to do so. He was such a reserved person that he didn't know many people. He was hoping someone from his friend's group would come and he could sit down and enjoy their time but he was not sure who would be interested in something like this. He was not himself sure of what he was doing here at the Great Hall. But he was sure Dyllie would be happy that he was getting away from himself and doing something that involved others. Dylan didn't want him to be a loner and have no friends at all. What type of a friend would want that?
Dyllie was Damion's best friend. He had missed the guy when they had been separated by schools. He met him once they were on vacations. He looked around as he sat there thinking about all the fun times he had with Dylan. He looked around as he waited for things to get more intense. Right now it seemed to going a little mellow and things weren't where they were supposed to be. He was not going to be the first one to speak without even knowing what he was speaking on.
