A New School Year [OPEN LOG]

[headmasterwalt]

It's almost time for school! Time for the yearly trip back to Diagon Alley. New books, potion ingredients, and robe fittings? Absolutely. First years? Go get your wands. More importantly, now's the time to catch up with old friends and see how they've been over the summer.

If it's your first time to Diagon Alley, maybe you can catch someone heading in to show you the way? Don't worry, there's always a helpful witch or wizard about to guide the Muggleborns to the right location if they get a little lost!

( Kicking things off with a quick and easy log! Threads may take place anywhere in Diagon Alley, with any characters that will be heading to Hogwarts. Feel free to threadjack, threadhop, or create multiple threads depending on if you want others to hop in when you change locations! Most importantly, have fun! )

[ He's been eyeing keeper helmets for a good long while, batting at Bruce Wayne's beak whenever the dumb owl starts nipping at his hair, when he spots Perry not too far away. He knows the kid's a decent chaser, and is a mighty fine beater when need be, so maybe Perry has a better idea as to what's worth buying around here. He wanders over to him, plucking the fedora right off Perry's head and placing it on his own. ]

Hey there, old boy. Seeing anything good?

[doesntdomuch]

[Perry looked visibly annoyed at Hank swipping his hat and calling him "old" but shrugs it off, in the very least it doesn't look like he's teasing him, so he'll let it slide for now.]

Of course, but I'm just browsing now.

[the_hankinator]

Huh.

[ Bruce nips at the hat lightly, and Hank shrugs his shoulders to try to get the bird to stop. It squawks and flaps its wings, knocking the hat of Hank's head. He sighs, and hands it back to Perry. ]

Here, you should take this back. Ol' Batman here is all sorts of on edge. Shopping for school irritates him. Speaking of, what do you think of this thing? Have one of 'em?

[ He pulls out a broom compass, holding it up for Perry to see. ]

These any good?

In which I completely forgot something

[doesntdomuch]

[He takes his fedora back and, after flicking some dust off of it, puts it back on his head. When Hank shows him the compass, Perry looks at it for a bit, then shrugs.]

I think it's just for travel. I've never used one.

Re: In which I completely forgot something

[the_hankinator]

Oh, bungalows! Really? [sighs] Man, I thought it'd have a more practical purpose than travel. I wanted something that'd set me out from the rest of the team... I thought a cool compass on my broom would do the trick.

[doesntdomuch]

... Did you buy it already?

[He hopes not. What kind of person buys something before they know what it's used for?]

[the_hankinator]

Yeah, but it's no big deal. [ Hank is that kind of person. He turns it over in his hands, huffing ] I can just give it to Dean. That way he won't get lost. [ jerks in sudden realization, starts looking around ] Oh- Looks like he got lost again. That stupid kid. I need to put a leash on him, or something.

[ looks to Perry ] You haven't seen him around, have you?

[doesntdomuch]

You shouldn't be calling your brother stupid.

[Take that as a "no".]

[the_hankinator]

Well, he is! Geez, you sound like my dad when you say that. [ hunches over slightly, putting his fists on his hips as an impression of his dad, and starts talking in a nasal-y voice] "Hank! Stop flickin cereal at your brother! Stop calling him a poot-nanny! Stop doing this, and that, and for heaven's sake, stop using magic!"

[straightens back up] That's what my dad's like. [nods sagely] ...You're actually not as bad as him. Don't worry, you're way cooler. [nods again] You're like a stoic detective.

[doesntdomuch]

Thank you.

[Although he didn't see how any of those were particularly unfair, especially since he wasn't quite sure that Hank was able to use magic outside of school yet.]
