Welcome home! [HoH speech cont'd] by Professor McKindy
“These are the Labyrinth Gardens,” Aaron announced, walking backwards as he lead the group of first years (plus transfers, plus Prefects, plus anybody else who had wanted to tag along) along the correct path through the Gardens. “ Don’t worry, they’re not nearly as confusing as they look.” The professor stopped in front of an ordinary-looking hedge wall by a suit of armour. “To enter the Pecari Commons, you need to tell the password to this suit of armour. Please don’t share this password with any of your friends outside of your House; only Pecari students should have access to the Pecari Commons.”“Jonquil,” Aaron told the suit of armour. The hedge obligingly moved aside, revealing the entrance to the Pecari Commons. The man stood aside as the students filed into the room. Comfortable chairs and couches were scattered about, with handy tables in areas where students might like to do their homework. He motioned for the students to take a seat in the general area. “This will be your home for the next seven years; you will eat together, room together, and attend classes together. Over here,” Aaron motioned at the notice board “is the notice board. When the passwords change, they will be posted here. Sign-ups for Quidditch and flyers for other school events are usually posted here by involved students, as well as any other announcements.
“There,” Aaron continued, “are the staircases for the boys’ and girls’ dormitories. Boys are not allowed in the girls’ dorms, and vice versa, and don’t try—there’s a spell on both hallways that will drop you back down here if you do. You need to be back here by 10 each night to make curfew, and my office is just over there, so I’ll know if you come back later. Any questions?”
The Charms professor smiled at the gathered students invitingly, pink, bubble-made tophat perched cheerily atop his black hair and bottle-green robes settled in the air around him.
|OOC| Respond here if you want, but you are otherwise free to roam the rest of the school! Enjoy!

One-track mind by Tristan Volkmann
The Gardens, Tristan thought with a mischievous grin, was very close to where the Qudditch Pitch was. He guessed, since he hadn’t seen any other House Groups ambling around nearby, that Pecari was the only House with such incredible access to said pitch. If he wasn’t happy about his House before, he was absolutely ecstatic about his placement now. Practicing would be easier to do with the pitch so close. He only wondered if he’d have time to mess around with the Quaffle between classes, whenever they’d start up.Oh, yeah, and the common room was nice, too. Tristan had never really been one for interior decorating since he spent most time outside. The only thing that had bugged him was that their Head of House’s room was so close to the doors, so he could spot them coming in late. Looks like practicing past curfew was out of the question.
He was so lost in his own little world of snitches and pitches, he had barely paid much attention to the person beside him. When he heard them speak to him, he did finally give them his attention. “What was that you said again?”
