As the seemingly solid bricks disappeared before her eyes, the slender blonde girl stepped through the newly present gap into the bustle of shoppers in Diagon Alley. Dodging the unnecessary amount of children, she frowned slightly, keeping her hand fixed on her bag that hung from her shoulder, she wasn't overly fond of crowds, and definately didn't appreciate when they touched her. There was no need.
Usually Cécile cut a domating figure, despite her size, but to day she shrank away from people as they threatened her personnal space, a small but disgusted frown curling her pink lips as her green eyes darted to them. She wasn't even sure why her mother had sent her there today, there were still two weeks left of the summer holidays, plenty of time to get the things necessary for her trip back to school. Her book lists hadn't even arrived yet, so she would have to return anway. Sighing in frustration she reached up and adjusted the blue berret that sat atop her golden waves.

Post by Professor Musashi on Oct 29, 2007 2:36:46 GMT
Professor Musashi was pacing up and down the streets of the crowded Diagon Alley. He caught a few farmiliar faces walking past and managed to squeeze in a few "hi's" here and there as some students stop to chat. And then the one student he wanted to see, Cecile, one of the best in his class. He noticed by the look on her face that she wasn't quite fond of the crowd. "Cecile!" He yelled waving his arms over head. He knew she couldn't hear him over the crowd so he ran up to her "Cecile! Hello, your just the person I wanted to see." He said smiling and throwing his arms on his hips. He said "Anyway, Cecile I'll expect to be seeing you and all your good grades in my class again this year will I not?"

It wasn't a surprise to her to hear someone yelling her name in the crowded streets, both sides of her family were of course infamous around here, however it was a shock to see the owner of the voice. Turning her green eyes towards the man she almost frowned but fixed a polite smile on her face when she recognised him. "Profezzor. Musashi" she exclaimed in convincing surprise. Cécile had always been a favourite of the students of her school, after all to them she was the perfect, polite young lady, with good grades and little problems with others. Of course the teachers didn't know her that well, there were perfectly good reasons why she was in Slytherin. "What a pleasant surprise," her voice cut through the crowd as if there was no background noise, clear and high, her french accent from living on the continent for the first 11 years of her life was unmistakeable. "Oz course, I will be back, I would not dream of leeving such an eenteresting class such as yours," giving him another bright smile she tossed her hair. "'Ow eez Josh? and yourself oz course."

Professor Musashi knew she was in slytherin house, but did not agree with anyone who said she deserved to be in it, He totally disagreed, She was too good of a student to be a dark wizard. Pushing all of this into the back of his mind he said with a smile on his face "Well, I'm glad to hear that."
"Well, Josh is great, and I'm fine, too, thanks for your concern" Professor Musashi always liked talking to his students and beoming close to them, which he thought was a good idea seeing as how they all have to send so much time with each other, so he likes to make his classroom a kind of "home" for the students. He hoped to build a bond with the students. "Well, how was your summer Cecila?" He asked curiously as the crowd around them started to decrease in size.

The smile still fixed on her pretty features she nodded slightly at his words. Though his son was two years younger than her she was still aware of who he was, though they were less than close. It was always hard to bridge the gap between years and houses. "I am glad 'e eez doing well," pausing again she smiled.
"Eet is my pleazure Professor," when he asked of her holiday she thought for a moment, it had been the usual, full of shopping and nights out with friends, hardly something worth telling your teacher, or indeed suitable for conversation. "Eet 'as been eenjoyable, my fameely and I visited or fameely back een France," Cécile always loved returning to the country of her birth, but she had to admit she had grown fond of England, it was her home now and would be for a good few years yet. Frowning slightly she watched a child run far too close to her and stare at her for a few minutes. Couldn't their parents keep them under control? At that age Cécile had already begun etiquette lessons, she certainly wasn't running around on her own like an orphan.

At this point in the conversation Josh ran up inturupting. He ran up to his father, He looked to see who he was talking to, And he noticed it was Cecile, not to tell anyone, Josh actually had a bit of a crush on Cecile, but he pushed the thought to the back of his mind. He looked at the professor "Here father, I have collected all I need"
He looked back at cecile, "Hello, Cecile, how are you doing?" He asked with a slight smile at the edges of his lips. He then, without taking his eyes off of Ceciles, handed his dad a few books, and a couple of boxes on top of them. Josh just stood there awaiting her reply.

Pulling her blue velvet cloak tighter around her, she manouevered out of the way of a few passing wizards who were deep in conversation about something concerning leaking cauldrons, or something equally dull. Before she could open her mouth so speak again a dark haired boy ran up to the two and began to speak. Recognising him as the Professors son she kept her mouth shut, and the charming smile still on her featues, not wanting to interupt the father son conversation.
After Josh gave his father some things she saw him turn to her and speak. Changing her gaze from the teacher to the younger boy, she kept her face amiable. "Bonjour Josh, I am good, thankyou," nodding at him she met his eyes. "I see you 'av been buying your new books ready for school," being a Professors son he naturally got a heads up on required texts. Flattening the material of her skirt idly, she looked back at him, wondering whether to be unnerved by the way he kept looking at her, being half veela she was of course used to it, but it never got... normal. "'Ow are you?"

Professor Musashi took the books and practically fell over at the weight. He looked over at Cecile "I'll be on my way now.Cecile if you ever need anything, you just come ask me, you know where I am" He said smiling and looking back at and nodding to his son. He walked away slowly with the textbooks still in hand. Passing by each student he knew he said "hello" or "How are you". Professor Musashi is an easy professor to get along with.

Josh watched as his father struggled with the books, and walked around saying high to some of the students. Most kids would say his father was kind of wierd, but Josh was proud to say Professor Musashi was his father, becuase though he may be embarrasing sometimes, he only wants whats best for him and the other students at Hogwarts, and he would put money on a bet saying his father would stand up for any student there before any other professor would.
Turning his gaze back to Cecile Josh asked "Anyway, Cecile, You want to go hang out somewhere?" He asked hoping she would accept. "If you want we can go to the three broomstick and get some butterbeers." He suggested while placing his hands in the pockets of his cloak.

Nodding politely as the Professor signalled his leave, she thanked him accordingly "Thankyou, Profezzur, I weel keep zat in mind," widening her full lips into a more charming smile she raised one slender arm and waved slightly as he disappeared into the ever bustling crowd. Gazing after him for a moment she almost frowned, he really was an odd teacher, not in a bad was... just different from others at school. It was the memory that his son was still stood next to her that prevented her from dropping the polite smile.
Turning back to the younger boy, she folded her slender arms, glancing down quickly at the expensive, delicate watch that circled her thin wrists. Her mother had given her strict orders to get her things and return home, and Cécile's mother was not one to be reckoned with. Looking back up at him she smiled, "I am not too sure I 'av zee time, but you are welcome to run a few errands wiz me."

"Ok." He said politly smiling "I'll be glad to help out. So, what should we do first?" He asked looking around at all the many buildings of Diagon Alley. He also looked around at the crowd, There wasn't as much going on anymore,the suze of the crowd was steadily descreasing. He glanced back at Cecile, "It should be a little easier now that the crowd is getting smaller.And now thank heavens I have my breathing space" He added laughing. [[ OOC: Sorry for the short reply, Ihave writers block, the next one will be a lot longer to make it up.. Promise  ]] |

Shrugging slightly she pulled her expensive bag higher up onto her slender shoulder and fixed a pleasant smile on her face. It wasn't that she minded having him tag along with her, she just wasn't too keen on the idea of running into one of her friends, how would she explain this? The high and mighty Cécile who had all but disdain for anyone in another house unless they held a similar class status as hers was running around with a Professors son. The boy was sweet enough anyway, as long as he didn't get any ideas, he was far too young. At his comment on the crowd she glanced around, it was still too full for her liking but he was right, there were at least fewer families running the streets which meant everyone else was an adult, and more considerate. "Oui," she mused slightly before answering his first question. "My Muzzer told me to pick up some robes from ze..." she searched her head for the right words but gave up and shrugged. "Shop."

Josh could tell she didn't want him to tag along, he knew when he wasn't wanted. So he quickly thought of something to say "Well... m..my dad.. he wants me to.."
Josh thought for a second before soming up with something "He needs me to go get something from... a place... Umm I'll see you in class?" He asked while walking back slowly.

Contrary to popular belief, Cécile did have feelings, and the fact that she had obviously not hidden hers well enough made her feel slightly guilty, especially when he began to back away from her. Taking a deep breath she shook her head, he was obviously lying, Professor Musashi seemed pretty fine on his own, doing whatever it was that teachers did outside of school. "You needn't go on my account," it was rather an awkward situation and she wasn't overly sure of how to finish her words, so instead just left it.
