Yarrick had been not-so patiently waiting for her big brother to open Drama club. Of course, he'd gotten himself in trouble right at the start of the year, causing the group to be delayed. Walking in, there was a younger girl babbling on, and Yarrick strode over to her brother's side to fill out her own form.
"Hey big brother. Any plans for this year?" She looked up at Zack, a grin settled on her face as she handed over her form. She was secretly pretty excited about the show, since it gave a chance for Yak to come along to the school and watch. She was always determined to get even a few minutes with her twin at the actual school.

Zack had high hopes that his drama team would all come back for the year. He wanted to have a series of smaller skits this year, maybe each kid would write their own and they'd do a showcase? He wasn't sure what would happen - but first he had to get enough actors and actresses.

Benjamin greeted his classmate with a quick “Hello” before filling out a form. Once completed, he had handed it in. “How have your holidays been?” he asked, making small chitchat. The two were friends – maybe not super close, but they interacted a lot in classes and clubs, namely in Drama and in Art. Their roles were quite different out on the Quidditch pitch: one guarded goalposts while the other smashed bludgers into mostly the chasers, seekers, and other beaters. Ben was forever grateful that keepers weren’t much of a target.

Yarrick had had a pretty crap-tastic summer. From just dealing with about a trillion siblings, to Yak being even more distant, it was bad enough. But then Zack said he was moving to the states with Erikk and their dad?! It was super dumb. But then Flick also said she was leaving with her family! Had they all conspired!? Now it was just her and Xeno here, but there would probably be more family eventually. Besides, she'd gotten her cathartic release by punching her older brother (though she also got grounded for it), and she was more at peace.
So the morning of Drama Club, she headed out to open it up. It'd been handed over from Zack, though she wondered if it wasn't a pittance. She left her loose curls down, though she grabbed a scrunchie just in case. Once in the room, Yarrick worked on setting everything up. At least Zack had had one good thought with putting her in charge. There was no way she could do all her tasks and get on stage. So she could hide in her stage fright a little longer. The teen stumbled over her heeled shoes with a frown, but straightened herself up as she put out the usual applications.

Benjamin had a pretty great summer, spending most evenings watching films with Skyla. He felt really good about their friendship even though she had still declined to officially date him because he was a student. The woman was only two years older than him, for Christ’s sake. That wasn’t a huge age gap in his opinion. Besides, he liked that she was older than him. Apparently, he was only ever into older girls. Although she wouldn’t be his girlfriend, he did get her to agree to meet up on Hogsmeade weekends, so at least he still had opportunities to wow her. Then in two years, he felt pretty optimistic that she’d finally say yes. “Hey, Yarrick,” Ben greeted upon walking into the Drama Club before filling out a form and handing it back in. “Whatever play we decide to do, you should make me the lead. I’m feeling lucky!” he announced, mainly caught up in his feelings from the last couple of weeks. Oh — he could probably convince her to come watch as well!

Aaah yes, Drama. Tambry's only chance to get back up on stage to perform in front of a crowd. With an excited twirl, the girl danced her way into the room where the club was to be held. Luckily, it seemed she was pretty early, with only two others in attendance so far. There were application forms, so the first year quickly filled one in, all done in loopy cursive with a sparkly pink pen. Once it was handed in, she looked over at the others. The boy asked if he wouldn't be made lead, earning a dramatic sigh from the older girl. "Just for that, Ben, I'm making you play a tree. I don't know what play it'll be, but you're gonna be a tree." She laughed softly, and Tambry couldn't help but laugh along. "So I suppose I should ask to be an extra, then?"

Of all the things Adelai was certain he could do.... being on stage was decidedly not one of them. In fact, he was terrified to try and do public speaking. But where came plays and presentations came the need for an A/V geek to work the technology. If anyone could do it, Adi was confident it could be him. In fact, his confidence led to enough energy that he felt good enough to walk to the club. After all, they'd probably have seats for a rest if he needed one. By the time he'd made it to the room, unfortunately, his legs were pretty shaky. This school had way more walking than he was used to!
He walked inside, looking at the others within. The only one he recognized was Tambry from his year, and she was filling something out. He waited patiently, then stepped over, filling out his own form with a silly joke included. With that task done, the boy walked over, then shuffled his walker to have a seat and sat down near the others to rest his tired legs. "Hey, sorry, I'll be alright in a moment. Nice to meet you guys." He offered a small wave, before setting his hand on his side to try and massage his achy back muscles.

Xeno...did not want to be here. Drama wasn't really her thing, but she knew Yarrick was probably struggling with all the changes that had happened and she wanted to be as supportive as she could. But she had zero intention of getting on a stage anytime soon. Upon entering the room she let out a yawn and headed toward her sister to grab a signup form.
She waved at her sister and took a seat on the floor to fill out the paper. Her eyes occasionally flited up to look around the room and see who else had come. There seemed to be a lot of enthusiasm that she didn't quite share but she put on a smile so as to not look completely unenthused.
Xenobiologick Knapp - Gryffindor Year: 2 Play Suggestion: Much Ado About Nothing Relevant Skills: I'm decent as artsy stuff. I could probably paint a background or something. I can do hair decently too.

Yarrick had had a very....frustrating summer. First, Zack had just moseyed back home acting like he'd never left, but also, it seemed harder to get her own twin to talk to her. They'd been growing more and more apart over the year, causing Yarrick to feel a bit adrift without a voice. As kids, Yak had always been the one to speak, with her running behind the scenes... but at Hogwarts, she'd relied on her older brother to take the role. So when both seemed to have abandoned her, it seemed she couldn't speak up. Rumors flew, but she couldn't even find the words to try and clear her brother's name. That was, of course, due in part to her own frustration about the situation.
Now that he was back, she wasn't exactly keep to entrust him back to her life. Not that it'd matter, her life was seldom different. She went to classes, went to quidditch and drama practices... then filled the free time with studying and sometimes chess club. That... chess club was a new addition to her schedule that he wouldn't know about. Not that he'd care. Maybe she'd try to put together her new jigsaw puzzle after practice. She sighed softly, setting out the audition forms in a neat stack before resuming her pacing about as she gnawed on her fingernails - a sure sign of nervous thoughts.

Zack was hoping to be the first one to drama club - things had been rough with his sister since he had come back and he hoped that maybe being in school and having one thing back to normal might help her. He wanted to be a part of her life but he could feel the shut out when he got there and no one else was there he smiled. He ran over to her and forced his hugged affection from behind, partially because he loved his sister, partially so she wouldn't be able to punch him again.
He stuck one hand in his bag and pulled out a puzzle box,"HeyI found this in my school chest from the states, I thought you would like it when I saw it but I must have forgotten to send it. My bad. Also it might smell like my dirty socks - sorry not sorry."
He let go of his sister and filled out his audition form, before sitting down backwards in a chair. "So, how's the. first week of school treating you? Anyone I need to go beat up for you? Although, I think you could handle yourself, just offering my big bro services." ""

Yarrick was somewhere in the middle of her pacing when the door opened, but she didn't have a break in her thoughts to look up. Her mind was racing, though most of the thoughts weren't kind to herself. She figured she was in a jam, but didn't know how to get out of it. Everyone else seemed so.... effortless in social situations, but she couldn't bring herself to speak up. Hell, most of the people she knew seemed nice and fun, but the thought of having to try and figure out conversation was painful, to say the least.
The only thing capable of breaking her train of thought was to be pulled into a hug from behind. Glancing up, she saw Zack, and immediately dropped her expression. He'd managed to prevent a hit, but she did "accidentally" stomp on a foot in her new heels. Hopefully that'd free her. Zack handed over a puzzle box, which did briefly light up her curiosity - until he noted it'd smell like his musty laundry. "You're a gross person," came her clipped response as she put the puzzle into her purse. Just because it probably smelled like boy sweat didn't mean it wasn't still a puzzle!
He let her go to work on his application, which she accepted back to look over. When he spoke again, it was to ask how school was going so far and saying he could be a big brother and keep her safe. "You don't need to beat up anyone. No one talks to me, so there's no worry about bullying. I wouldn't need you to fight for me anyway. I don't care if people don't like me." Well, that wasn't true. Yarrick cared so much if people liked her... but she was too scared to ever speak up. Even talking to Zack now, Yarrick wished she could have someone say her words for her. It was painful, in a way, to not be able to communicate with her brother. They'd been so close... but then again, so had she and Yak.

Zack's foot was starting to hurt, curse his sister's finding of heels. "I might be a gross person, but I used to be one of your favorite gross persons." He frowned as she said no one talked to her and didn't care if people didn't like her. That was...a very sad outlook and didn't seem much like his sister. Maybe she wasn't doing as well as he thought. Even worse - he didn't know how to help her. He knew everything about her, her love of puzzles, books, fizzy drinks, everything. She was his MVP for their life and since he had abandoned her for the year... he felt like a stranger.
"I know you can take care of yourself, I'm just. I'm sorry Yarrick okay? I know you say don't care what people think, but I care if people are mean to you, and hate if I can't protect you. You're my little sis and I'm sorry I wasn't here for you the past year." Was that enough? He didn't know how to re-establish his relationship with his sister, but maybe sorry was the st step to recovering their relationship...the second step was leaving random worn socks in Yarrick's belongings until her anger at the situation made her blow up. One of these options was more advisable than the other.
"We should go to Hogsmeade together one weekend, just us. I mean, unless you have plans with someone else, which like for sure you should hang out with them. I was just thinking it would be nice to have some one on one time without idk the entire population of the Drama club walking in on us?"

Xeno walked toward drama club with a yawn. She had been enjoying a nice nap but figured she better pull herself out of bed for this. Drama was far from her favorite thing, but drama wasn't really the reason she was going to the meeting. She had ulterior motives. Xeno thought that Zack returning might do Yarrick some good. But well, now she wasn't quite so sure. So Xeno once again came to Drama Club, wondering why. She just felt the need to be around.
Xeno was fully aware of the fact she didn't see the world the same way as other people. She could very easily pick up when something was wrong with another person, but she didn't always understand it. She supposed she had missed Zack but that was about it. It hadn't changed her view on life or anything. At least not the same way it had Yarrick's. Xeno had found she was usually unaffected by the things that bothered other people. So she'd made the point throughout her life to show up when she felt she might be needed. She didn't like people to be upset. Especially not her siblings.
Xeno finally ambled into the room and was met with both subjects of her thoughts. She wrinkled her nose the moment she entered the room. Something was definitely up. She stared at her siblings for a moment trying to piece together what was going on. Yarrick seemed sort of...prickly. Which Xeno didn't like because that was supposed to be her thing. Xeno shook her head to herself and gave up. It was moments like this where she wished the whole seer thing could happen on demand. Sometimes seeing the future was the only thing that helped her understand the present. Or at least that's what she told herself. In actuality, it usually just led to her being more confused.
"You guys are looking kinda suspicious," Xeno said finally before moving to fill out one of the sign-ups, secretly hoping they'd continue their conversation so she could eavesdrop.

"Favorite or not, you're still gross!" It was true, though. Even with Yak by her side, Yarrick had always been close to her older brother(s). Zack was frowning, but Yarrick didn't think she had the words to be able to make him feel better. It was really hard to make someone else smile when she struggled so, so hard to do the gesture herself. It had been incredibly hard to be at school without either of the boys, and it was only a year before it would happen again. At least Xeno had always had time to spend with her, and now Wolfrick was also in school.
She did, however, feel a bit better when Zack acknowledged that she could take care of herself. It was his apology that threw her for a loop. He continued, saying he cared if people were mean to her, especially if he couldn't protect her. "It's not just that, though. Zack... you and everyone else left. At the same time! You, Erikk, Aldrick, Flick... everyone." Her blue eyes betrayed her upset. It wasn't something she'd had a chance to really talk about. The only people she ever really confided in were Zack and Yak, but Yak had been so... distant. She looked away, not sure she could meet his gaze without crying.
But his next words were to tell her that they should go to Hogsmeade together one weekend. He noted that if she had others to hang with, she should do that, but she had to wonder if he'd thought she'd just gone out making friends while he was gone. "The only other person I might go with is--" Yarrick looked over when someone else walked in, before sighing in relief. "Hey Xen. We were just..." she paused, glancing over at their eldest brother before continuing, "...making plans to go to Hogsmeade next weekend. You can come too. Maybe we can get cinnamon rolls at Theo's shop. I have all my allowance and no one else to spend it on, so might as well." She used to use it to spend one big day with her twin before school started, but he opted to go to summer camp and miss the entire last month Yarrick was home, so she had just spent the day in her room, hidden behind a textbook large enough to hide her tears.

It was time for Drama Club once again. Last year was loads of fun helping Yarrick running the backstage. He dressed in comfy clothes, knowing that he wanted to be able to move about with... relative ease. Thankfully, his legs were feeling strong today, so he grabbed his walking frame, rather than his wheels. It was still a long, slow journey, but he made it as only the fourth one there. How good. His timing was a lot better this year, so he was glad about that.
"Hey Yarrick! Hi Xeno! And...""Hey Adelai. This is our older brother, Zack. He did an exchange thing last year, but now he's back in the UK." Thankfully Yarrick seemed to know. "Well hello, Zack. Nice to meet you. My name's Adelai Hasenpfeffer-Bates, Gryffindor Second Year." He did a little nod toward the older boy, then started work on his application.
"Yea, Zack, Adi's the one who took your spot on the team last year. I think he might be better than you." Yarrick spoke, words sounding like teasing to his ears. He didn't know much about siblings beyond his aunt and uncle with his parents, but it probably wasn't the same. "Aw, that's sweet, but I think the best beater on the sport last year was you. Well. You and Nic. He's got a wicked accurate aim." He laughed, glad that he got to work with the older Gryffindor. It didn't even dawn upon him that Zack would probably get the position back for this year.
