Rowan turned her notebook back and wrote her next sentence own, I'm Rowan. It's nice to meet you.

"nice to meet you too."

Rowan thought for a second before writing out, So you're my familiar?

Winnie tried this out and immediately winced, squeezing his eyes shut. “Th-There’s a lot of people talking right now. Really loudly.” He mumbled quietly, a bit overwhelmed.

The bird chirruped softly and nuzzled into his human's hand. "I can't turn it off. It is just how the magic is, I apologize."

“It’s alright… I-I’ll get used to it.” Winston stroke Rui’s Head with his finger just as the ceremony came to a close. With his improved hearing, he could hear the school bell ringing in the distance, indicating the start of the day.

“Off to class! Go on now!” The witch in charge of the ceremony started yelling, making Winston flinch. The teen quickly made his way out of the crowd, sticking out like a sore thumb due to his height.

“I have potions first.” He told Rui gesturing to the castle-like building he was walking towards. “I’m not very good at it though…”

Rowan heard the bell and gestured her head towards the building as she began walking to her first class, which also was her favorite class. She had a false smile on her face, could Lorcan do anything cool? Or was he just a normal fox? Oh God what would her parents think?

Rui twittered softly and plumped out again after standing up at the movement of the humans around them.
"Okay, Winston, let us be on our way, then."

Tempest slithered up Blaze's arm, going to wrap around his neck. "You have potions first, don't be a fucking idiot." She hissed in his ear, sass somehow being heard through her fucking voice.

Winston ambled along to potions class, trying to tune out the influx of voices around himself. All the while holding Rui cupped in his hands. Winnie was already fond of the small bird, but terrified of losing him. He entered the classroom and took an empty desk near the back of the room, setting Rui down atop it.

Rui hopped around on the desk happily before slumping down on the corner of it. He sung a song for Winston as they waited for the class to start, wiggling on the desk.

"Go sit over there, I want to talk to the bird and you need a friend." Tempest instructed, Blaze stifling a laugh as Tempest flicked her tail in the direction of a desk in the back. "Can do, little storm cloud." He muttered.

Winston smiled at Rui, humming along to whatever tune the bird was singing. He seemed relaxed at the moment considering how tense he normally was.

Rowan sat down in the back near two of the others who had gotten less than apt familiars. Maybe it would draw less attention if their were multiples of them.

Blaze plopped down in the desk right next to Winston. "Hello!" He said cheerily, giving a small wave as Tempest looked on, hissing a hello to the bird.

Rui noticed a snake and its human sit down and got up, hopping across the desk to sit closer to the the snake. He sung for both it and Winston, overjoyed at the fact that Winston seemed to be enjoying Rui's song.

Winston immediately covered his ears, Blaze taking him by surprise. “Hi…” He replied shyly, slowly uncovering them again.

"You're Winston, right?" He asked, giving a toothy smile as Tempest slithered onto the table, the small snake curling up and watching her human interact.

Rui twittered at the snake and hopped closer, gently touching her skin with his beak.
"Hello, snake. What is your name?" The bird asked in his deep voice.

Rowan opened up a new page in her notebook and wrote in it with big calligraphy letters, Hello!

"I'm Tempest." She introduced herself in a posh accent, looking like a worm next to the bird.

Winnie nodded, still skittish after being startled. “That’s me… are you er— Brady?” He tried to remember the other boy’s name, but all the noise around him was freaking him out a little, along with the snake that sat less than a foot away.

The bird twittered softly and bowed gentleman-like. "It is a nice to meet you," Rui said in rather broken English.

"Close enough, Blaze Brady!" Blaze corrected, tapping his slightly clawed fingers on the desk. Tempest gave a nod, her tail flicking a bit to the beat that Blaze was tapping.

Rowan finished writing her sentence and tried to show it to the other two figuring it wouldn't be noticed anyone, Hello! I'm Rowan! It's nice to meet you two!

Winston tried his bets to ignore the tapping, looking around desperately for a distraction. He found it rather quickly, standing in front of him with a notepad. “Hello, I’m Winston.” He greeted Rowan, his voice soft. “Do you want to sit with us?”

Rowan nodded her head swiftly and moved to sit with them. Her pen scratched on the paper as she scrawled out, Yes, thank you!

The bird hopped over away from Tempest and settled into the arms of his witch, tweeting a gentle song up at him. He didn't like the nervousness he was picking up from his Human.
