James mirrored Roxie’s shocked expression. “Yeah but that’s just because the little ones like me better.” he shrugged. His arguments were becoming increasingly less mature and convincing. But it was true that the younger members of their family liked him, and the feeling was mutual. He didn’t actually mind helping them when playing quidditch. “At least they’ll be good quidditch players when they grow up. I’m a great teacher.”

Roxie shrugged--she had to agree, James was much better with the younger kids than she was. She chalked it up to James being the oldest of three: of course he was better with little ones, he was the big brother. Roxanne, on the other hand, was the baby of her family. Always coddled and protected by her father and by Fred, and doted on by her mother. “You’ve got an unfair advantage there, you have way more experience with little kids than I do!” She protested with a half-smile. “And of course they’ll be good players, they’re Weasleys and, in some cases, Potters! We’re a force to be reckoned with! In a few years we’ll be taking over the professional leagues.”

“Oh of course.” he gently nudged her back. They were both competitive, especially when it came to quidditch. “I mean it’ll be fun to kick you and your team’s asses in front of an audience that isn’t just our parents.” he teased.

“I beg your pardon?!” Roxie exclaimed with mock horror on her face. “I’ve beaten you loads of times. Especially when you’ve got one of the younger cousins on your team and have to spend half your time making sure they don’t fall off their broom.”

“I’ve noticed.” James commented, putting on a fake sour face. As kids he’d gotten in plenty of play fights - and some real ones - with his cousins, including Roxanne of course. “You do have a talent for hitting.” he added, grinning at childhood memories. “Seriously though, we’d love to have you on our team. So, if Altair doesn’t work out.” he wiggles his eyebrows in a teasing manner.>

Roxie laughed, playfully shoving James’s shoulder. “I’ll think about it. Although playing against you might be even more fun than being on the same team.”

“Already did.” a cocky grin appears on his face. “I’m on the Arcturus team. As a chaser, just like back at Hogwarts.” James tells his cousin. Despite his dad being a keeper, he’d always pulled more towards the chaser position. Mainly because of the action. “What team do you think you’ll end up on?”

“I’m leaning towards Altair, but Arcturus is a close second. I’m going out for Beater, of course.” Roxie grinned. She and James loved playing Quidditch together, whether it was at Hogwarts or at a family gathering. “Mum’s a bit disappointed I didn’t become a Chaser like her, but I’m much better at hitting than I am at catching.”

“huh?” bomi was suddenly pulled out of her train of thought, suddenly meeting a familiar and famous face around the school. she stopped in her tracks, and stared at the girl in confusion at first, not understanding where all of this was coming from all of a sudden. “i-… yeah? of- of course.” she stuttered, nodding slowly. as much as bomi loved making friends, this was so sudden, she didn’t know what to do or say. “i’m always excited to be here.” 

Roxanne smiled, trying to make the other girl feel more at ease. “Sorry if I startled you. I’m Roxanne, by the way.” She extended her hand to shake Bomi’s. “What specialization are you in?”

Felix shot her a wry smile and nodded. He knew that well enough himself. “You’re certainly right. I’m nothing like my parents,” he said, shaking his head, before grimacing. “Well I suppose other than the half-veela thing. I can thank my mom for that.” He gave her a conspiratory look, leaning in. “Do you think they’re ever going to tell us? I can’t decide if I want to know or not.”

“Yeah I guess we’re all attached to our old schools. They do a lot to instil that pride in us.”

“My cousins are part-veela too, thanks to my Aunt Fleur,” Roxanne said with a nod. “I can’t decide either. But I think maybe they will one day, probably not until long after we’ve graduated.”

“The specializations here don’t really inspire that kind of spirit or closeness, I’ve noticed. But I suppose that’s intentional--housing us with other specialities and such so we don’t get cliquey. I do miss the Gryffindor-Slytherin rivalry quite a bit, to be honest.”

He shrugged, like he wasn’t actually bothered by all of this at all. “You’re always so sweet Roxie.” he chuckled, quickly booping her nose with a mischievous grin. “You seem to be doing well though. I’m just not made for all the studying and all the books and stuff, I think. The action, that’s where it gets interesting.” he told her. “But it’s my last year right? I’ve almost made it, who would’ve thought. Thank Godric.”

Roxie scrunched up her nose when James booped it, swatting his hand away playfully. “Speaking of action, I’m planning on trying out for Quidditch. Are you?”

“ It’s pretty great ! I had a great time over break, but I’m kinda glad to be back, ” she smiled, hair brushing her jaw as she spoke and twisted about RESTLESSLY. Lena hadn’t meant to scare the girl like she did, seeing as she hardly even knew the girl except for the occasional pass in the hallway or project paring. They weren’t even studying a lot of the same things, so why would the girl know her. “ Forgive me for jumping on you like that, guess I didn’t realize how happy I am to be back here. Never thought I’d say that about anything related to school. ”

“It’s alright, don’t worry about it. As for being happy to be back...well, I can see why--this isn’t like ordinary school, really. It’s rather exciting, being the first ones to attend.”

“Thanks!” Isabella told her with a smile. “I feel like it’s something most people over look most of the time. You know until you try to do magic without a wand.” Sure there were some things that could be done but most things required a wand. Wands usually were people’s most prized possession in a lot of ways. “I guess sometimes it is. That is until you’re constantly under the microscope and there’s no one to take their attention away for even five minutes.”

Isabella nodded. “Yeah, it’s a lot different than Ilvermorny too.” Good or bad, Isabella wasn’t sure either but she liked to focus on the good parts. “I like meeting new people too so this is nice. “I am also secretly hoping someone kidnaps me for the summer or at least lets me come visit. Canada is great, but it’d be so nice to get to see new places too a little more than I normally get to.”

“It is nice having someone to blame when I get in trouble, I suppose. Although there’s no trick my dad hasn’t seen, tried, or invented, so it’s hard to pull one over on him. Usually when I try to blame whatever I’ve done on Fred, Dad sees right through me.” Roxie laughed. 

“Well if you want to come visit England, I’m sure my mum and dad wouldn’t mind at all. There’s already so many cousins coming and going, one more person wouldn’t be a bother at all.”

“Maybe it’s something in your blood,” he said, before grimacing and shaking his head. “Wait, that came out strange. I didn’t mean that in like…a creepy blood supremacy way. More just like..you have a special family obviously. Clearly your parents’ talents and skills and quirks have made their way into the next generation,” he clarified.

“I guess it will push us to be better but sometimes I wish they’d let us relax without waxing on about how we’re wasting our potential.” He nodded at her words. “Yeah, that’s how we met. Beauxbatons. It’s…well, if this place didn’t get created, I never would’ve left it. Between it and all the other wizarding schools, I think Beauxbatons stands above the rest.”

Roxanne laughed, shaking her head as Felix tripped over his words. “I know what you meant. My family’s done some remarkable stuff, but that doesn’t necessarily mean all of us are particularly talented or anything. I guess we won’t really know until they reveal the selection process.” She shrugged, pushing away a lock of hair that had fallen out of her ponytail and into her face. “I’m not sure I even want to find out, though. Do you?”

“I feel the same way about Hogwarts, but Vic has told me how much she loves Beauxbatons. It seems great.”

“Corporis. Though wand lore is really kind of my thing. Be so amazing to make my own wand some day.” It was the one thing she really wanted to be able to do not only for herself, but for other people too. “I can see that but I’m an only child so it’s a lot for the opposite reason sometimes. I mean I only have one cousin and she’s a baby, so that doesn’t really count.” Isabella had always wondered what it was like to be part of a big family. “It sure is a big school, bigger than what I’m used to. Lots of hiding places for your sanity.”

“Wandlore? That’s actually really cool. The making wands part, not the memorizing different types of wood part.” Roxie grinned playfully. “Wow, an only child? Must be nice having your own space and your parents’ undivided attention and all.”

“It’s certainly different from Hogwarts. Not sure which I prefer just yet, to be honest.” She said with a slight frown.

“Maybe for a bit? If it takes long we should go. It’s a party, and what could be better than having fun?” She raises a brow with a smirk. She looks around the empty library with a sigh. No one was in here, of course not. She glanced up at the clock every few minutes, and sighed. After ten minutes she stands up. “Okay… This is boring. Wanna head out to the bonfire?” She offers.

“Sure, that sounds fun.” Roxie said, springing to her feet. Sitting around in the library was extremely boring, and Roxanne was more than ready to have some fun.

James listened to Roxie recount her day, scrunching his nose slightly. She was the opposite of James. Which was to say, James was a human disaster while Roxie seemed to have a life perfectly on track. “That’s impressive. I’d let you show me, but defensive magic is actually one of the few things I’m good at, so I don’t think I’ll need it.” he teased. Still, he didn’t really feel jealous or annoyed. She worked hard enough for what she achieved. “My parents are going to be very proud, believe me.” he said with obvious sarcasm. By now they were used to this, they’d be happy he didn’t completely mess up, but a lot more was probably needed to live up to the Potter name. James knew that there was a big chance he never would.

Roxie patted her cousin’s shoulder sympathetically. She knew academics were a sore spot for him. “You’re plenty smart, James, and your mum and dad know it. You’re just not suited for the slow, methodical stuff. I’m the same way. And I think being here is going to let you explore your potential way more than you could’ve back at Hogwarts.”

isabellapommel:

“Oh, what are you studying here?” Isabella inquired because she was absolute rubbish when it came to keep track of people and their studies. “Now I’m jealous because I felt like I was going crazy at home. You’re probably glad to be back then. To get a break from all that excitement and exhaustion.”

“Pugna. How about you?” Roxanne asked with a small smile. She snorted softly when the other girl said she was jealous. “Believe me, if you knew my family you wouldn’t be jealous. There are loads of us and when we all get together I can’t even hear myself think! I’m definitely glad to be back, although most of my cousins are here too. At least we’ve got more space here, we’re not packed in like sardines.”

katarina-kitkat-clarins:

“Well…” kat trails off. Why was she here? She should just ignore it, the damn note, and head to the party… Right? But theres something nagging at her. “I dont know, honestly… I had a note left for me on my bed, telling me to come here, so… I came? I guess thats kind of dumb, isnt it… We can leave.” she offers, looking to roxie with a raised brow.

“Not dumb, just...odd. Any idea who could’ve left it?” Roxie asked. “I don’t mind either way, if you prefer we can stay here and see if anyone shows up.”

isabellapommel:

“There are a lot of people around here…” Isabella offered up as she looked up from her book after realizing the girl was talking to her. Talking wasn’t something she excelled and mostly she rambled which she was sure no one wanted to hear. “Actually I am. It was just dad and I for the week and it was…” Quiet and rather uneventful. Even shopping for new books and clothes hadn’t kept her busy for long. “Boring and I like school. I like studying and just being here. You?”

“I’m really enjoying it so far. The classes are more challenging, which I like. At least, I like the challenge in my stronger subjects.” Roxanne replied. “My break certainly wasn’t boring. Exhausting is probably the best way to describe it.”

Felix laughed and shook his head. “Yeah no kidding. I feel like you guys are a small army. I’m always meeting more of you. It kind of interesting that you all made it past whatever secret admissions requirements there are to get in,” he pointed out.

“It’s nice. I loved being at Beauxbatons but this is quite an adventure. I’m enjoying being away from France and getting to meet new people and focus on the subjects I like. Some of the professors can be kind of intense though.”

“I don’t know how we managed it either, but maybe one day we’ll find out.” Roxie shrugged. To be honest, that very question had been nagging at her since she’d started at Silvestris, but she had decided not to let herself obsess over it. The founders had...whatever secret criteria they had, and if the Potter-Weasley clan happened to fit the bill then who was she to question it? 

Roxanne nodded in agreement. “They’re certainly more intimidating than a lot of the Hogwarts professors. I haven’t made up my mind as to whether that’s a good thing or not, though. So, Beauxbatons...I guess that’s how you know Victoire, right?”
