Let`s Appreciate the Beauty of Spring
It`s March 31st, a Friday afternoon, and spring has gradually moved her steps in Hogwarts. The flowers were blossoming, the trees were growing, the great lake was no longer freezed out, and everything had been given a new life. As someone with Chinese immigrant parents, Spring, specifically that particular Wednesday (April 5th) which will be in a few days, also meaned a very important festival, Qing Ming, also known as Tomb Sweeping Festival. It was not only a festival to sweep tombs and visit our ancestors, but also a festival for people to go outside, appreciate the beautiful scenery in spring, and enjoy a tasty dessert called Qingtuan (Green Rice Balls), which is a type of round dessert made of sweet rice mixed with herbs, with sweet or salty fillings. Rita remembered her grandma making this for the family to enjoy when she was young, and found them to be very tasty. She hoped the rest of the club members would thought the same when she brought them to the club meeting.
Moving on to the club itself, Rita had took over the Asian Society Club in February from its former leader, @Avery Chen, due to the later being busy with school work and other stuff and unable to organize any meetings. As the new leader of the club, Rita figured out the date of the Qing Ming festival was the perfect date for the first meeting. As someone born in England with Chinese immigrant parents, the black-haired Second Year Hufflepuff beater really liked the idea of that club to share some knowledge and awareness of Asian culture and celebrate cultural diversity by organizing festival celebrations and other fun activites. For this particular first meeting of the Asian Society Club, she had instructed the vice leader of the club, the talented Gryffindor duelist Kim Aoki, to make some Green Rice Balls for club members to share. She had, of course, also sent owls to the club members the night before to show up in the Outdoor Club Area at 4:30 pm after class today. So. at 4:20 that day, when Rita finished all of the classes, she quickly took a bag of snacks, green tea, and some juices for club members to enjoy, as well as a mat for them to sit on, and arrived at the outdoor club area for first meeting of the Asian Society Club. Hopefully, at least a few club members will show up at the Outdoor Club Area to attend the meeting very soon.

| ─── | It was Friday, March 31st, 2023.
The last day of the month before his hair color would change, in preparation for a new month! Last month it had been black, which was ironic, since black was actually his natural hair color. Not that anyone knew this, as he tended to change his hair color once a month. Therefore, no one ever really knew what his natural hair color actually was. Or had been. A sigh escaped his lips. April was almost here again and he couldn't help but think about a certain someone. It had been around this time that she'd been all worried that he'd try and pull a prank on her, even though the thought hadn't crossed his mind at the time. He shook his head and tried to focus more. Kim was wearing a sleeveless white shirt with ruffles near the top, going all around the neckline. On top of that was a dark purple 'jacket' with dotted diamond designs all over. A thick silver necklace could be seen around his neck, along with a thin silver necklace with the name 'Kim' dangling from the middle of it. The dark haired teen's usual diamond pride bracelet was also present around his left wrist and some white dots could be seen beneath each lower eyelid, off to the side a little. It seemed to be a fashionable choice of Kim's. He also wore a stylish dark purple hat on his head too, in preparation for tomorrow. It wasn't the time to think about her, Kim had things to do. Rita had taken over the Asian Society Club. The one Avery ran. Rita had decided to help him out and run it in his absence for now because Vi (pronounced vee) had been consumed with homework lately and didn't have time. Lately, Kim had been feeling rather off and wasn't entirely sure what the reason was. Sure, he hadn't been getting much sleep, and his emotional and mental state was deteriorating, but that couldn't have anything to do with it, right? The things he usually tended to do and tolerate always seemed to bother him lately, aggravating him quite a lot. He'd also been pulling away from nearly everyone. Since everyone else seemed to be going through things too, it wasn't much of a surprise when no one tried to reach out to him. Kim didn't expect them to. Why would they care about him? Most people had their own lives to deal with and their lives took priority, which was completely understandable. Even the people who did try to reach out to him, Kim was fairly certain they were only doing it to keep up pretenses. They didn't actually care. They only did it because they were nosy.... Or they wanted something from him. Perhaps they were just trying to be polite and what the majority would call 'a good friend'. Or they simply had nothing better to do than to bother him all the time. Regardless of the reason, Kim didn't feel like tolerating these kind of things anymore. He also didn't care much how that would make him be seen in the eyes of others. The dark haired teen felt tired and drained and wondered how much longer it would take for him to simply disappear from the minds of those around him. However, Kim still clung to a few things that kept making him interacting with others. Classes. Dueling. Clubs. Puffie. They were important..... Speaking of which, the first meeting Rita was going to hold, was taking place within an hour. Kim went down to the kitchens to whip up some Qingtuan (Green Rice Balls) for the club. Rita had spoken with him beforehand and expressed interest in having him make some for the meeting and Kim had agreed to do so. He'd made a variety of them, some of them having sweet fillings while others had salty fillings. The ones with brown wrappers were sweet and the ones with white wrappers were salty, which he'd tell Rita and the others. At the actual meeting when he got there. Puffie squeaked on top of his shoulder, making sure Kim knew that he wasn't going to go without him. "Of course I won't forget about you, Puffie. You're definitely coming with me!" Kim reassured his beloved pet and picked up his satchel, placing the containers with the two sets of Qingtuan (one sweet and one salty) into it. The satchel had all the basic items that he usually had with him and Kim put a new box of pygmy treats into it too. After all, Puffie had been going through them faster lately for some reason. Glancing around, to make sure he didn't forget anything, the teen headed off to the club's meeting location. Upon reaching his destination, Kim raised a hand in Rita's direction, seeing as he was the first one there. Then again, it was only 4:20PM and the meeting was supposed to start at 4:30PM. "Yo." Kim said, giving his trademark greeting and headed over to the mat Rita had set up on the ground in the outdoor club area. He placed his satchel down and pulled out the two containers. "I made two versions. The container with the white wrappers is the salty version, the one with brown wrappers is the sweet version..." Kim told Rita, placing the containers down on the mat. He'd chosen a place on the mat that was as far away from the entrance as possible, to avoid lots of people. |

I was told to find allies, integrate and build a reputation... I didn't know if this was a good idea after all, because joining a club had seemed like the best idea in that sense, but I guess I was wrong.
It must be around 4:30, we have to meet. I'm stressed, actually I'm mostly stressed because I've learned that the manager is a muggleborn, a.. Argggggggggg...
It's hard to fit in here, but I can't look a Muggle in the eye, not because I hate them, but because they are scary. Mum told me that they use laser beams with their eyes like Avada Kedevra on wizards and then they eat them alive. That's why we have to hide! Because they are cannibals!
Mum is always right, so I come in with my face twisted in fear, there are two of them.
I bow slightly and introduce myself.
- Ah.. I'm Kai Lee.. I say in English. Then I said in Japanese, I am a second year in Slytherin. And finally in Korean, I hope we get along well...
I hope to make them understand that I belonged with them, because there's Sato, and I absolutely have to make a good impression with him to try to approach him. Dad told me that, that if I had Sato on my team, then our family name would be glorified and he would be the happiest man in the world.
"Love or Money ? Money of course !"
- Speak in #ffffff

On March, 31, 2023, Mark excitedly excited his last class. He than made his way to the grounds, he went over to the spot where everyone in the Asian Society Club Members will be meeting, since Mark is in the club, he went to the spot.
While walking to the meeting place, Mark looked around him. He wasn't only excited for the meeting, he was also excited to learn about the members cultural festivals. But, he was also excited for spring.
Sadly, the meeting wasn't on the Cherry Blossom festival, but he didn't exactly mind. He was very curious with the other members cultures and the festivals they celebrate around spring.
When he arrived to the Outdoor Club Area at 4:30 pm, he looked around and only saw three people. He knew the first two, one of them is Rita Su, the club leader, and she's also in his house. He also knew the other one to be Kim Sato. Or Kim Aoki. But, he didn't know who the third person is.
Mark walked closer to the meeting place, he than decided to introduce himself, but he needed to figure out how since he could do that in three languages, he than decided to speak in English,
"Hello, I'm Mark Myers. First Year, Hufflepuff."
"You know sometimes in life, things just ain't meant to be."
