"Not really," Natsuko said. "One Halloween I made a jack-o-lantern. So I've emptied out a pumpkin before. Wondered if it was a cultural thing for witches and wizards to make pumpkin boats because I'd never heard of it before." The pumpkin's insides were emptying quicker with the two of them -...

Natsuko waved her hand in a dismissive gesture, but was clearly pleased to be told that she'd make the team (even with the qualifier). There were no guarantees, but everyone had been encouraging about it so far and it was starting to go to Natsuko's head a little. "Ohh, that sounds a bit rough,"...

Natsuko nodded in acknowledgement to Hudson introducing himself. Natsuko was glad to make a new friend - because in her opinion, if you met someone and seemed to get along that immediately made you buddies. She smiled as Ollie encouraged her, feeling a swelling of happiness and optimism...

Natsuko grinned brightly when someone responded. "Hmm, I think it'll work, right? If it doesn't, we can always get an adult to cast a spell or something." Natsuko was nothing if not optimistic. She thanked him for helping, then considered his question, looking down at the pumpkin. "We're pretty...

Natsuko didn't know many spells just yet. The school year had just begun for her, after all. That wasn't about to stop her though. She grabbed a massive pumpkin, stumbling a little as she put it on its side and tried to open up the top to scoop out the insides. She'd never really done this sort...

Natsuko grinned, said a quick, "Great, I'll sign up then!" Happy in the knowledge that she'd joined three clubs and that would hopefully keep her busy. @Miles Flynn

"I'm Natsuko Hirano," Natsuko said, and then her eyes went wide. "Your whole family is magical then? Is that what pureblood means?" She didn't really know yet what it meant, but was eager to learn. "I've only met one other muggleborn so you're two ahead of me," she joked, but really she was very...

Natsuko blinked a few times, listening and wondering if this was a magic thing - if maybe people could talk to the wind, like how owls apparently knew where to go. She therefore took it in her stride, as though it was normal for anyone to think that. "Maybe I should listen closer too," Natsuko...

Natsuko nodded - that was good to know. Still, it did feel like some people had an advantage and she wished the playing field was a bit more even. It didn't get her down, though. She wasn't falling behind or anything. Natsuko laughed with Sofia when she talked about disliking flying. "I'm not...

Natsuko had already joined three groups but that didn't stop her from considering a fourth. She stopped over at another stall, and her eyes grew wide. "Pep club?" Natsuko read outloud. "What do you do?" She was honestly a little excited because pepping people up sounded right in her wheelhouse...

Natsuko, hearing the word quidditch, immediately came over. Another side group, she guessed, as she approached the two older boys. "Did you guys say quidditch?" she asked curiously, peering around. "Is this a fun club? Or are you really serious? Because I like fun more than I like people being...

"Oh, I would have liked to see that," Natsuko said, deflating slightly. "I heard they won the Hogwarts cup last year, so they must be good!" Natsuko didn't think about ot even mention that she probably wouldn't know a single thing about the standard of playing. "I wonder if I'll be any good at...

Natsuko nodded enthusiastically, glad that Victoria was seemingly excited too. "Hm, that's a good question. Maybe we should ask him next lesson!" Natsuko suggested. "I wonder if everyone makes a dog, or if you could make a cat too. Or any animal!" The idea was very exciting. "It's nice to meet...

Natsuko was still mad. It didn't sound like the head boy was backing down, and she could feel the tension in the air, feel the way the Slytherin girl was feeling - that kind of anger that choked you to tears. Natsuko suddenly felt like running away but only then registered that the other girl...

This caught my eye and for the past twenty minutes I've been like, I need to find the perfect song for Gaia lol. And then it came to me. Lark Ascending composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and I went with Hilary Hahn's performance because it's a good one. Just the way it kind of rises and falls...
