Annalise walked onto the carriage and Selene could have kicked herself. First Claire, and then Annalise, of course Annalise was the opposite of Claire on Selene's list of desirable people. Annalise was nice, once you got to know her, but she was so freaking shy! French people were not shy, in fact they knew what they wanted and they would get it now. They were loud, and abrasive, and never shy, but there was always the black sheep. And Beauxbatons black sheep was Annalise.
What she was doing on a trip like this, going off to see if she was good enough to compete for glory and being a champion was beyond her. Except that Selene could very well see Annalise in winning, she wasn't vain, she wasn't snobby. At that though Selene threw a look at Claire, and she wasn't popular, much either. Adam had his legs crossed, and Selene knew the reason why without even guessing, it made a huge smile light up her face, and she had to pretend to cough to keep from bursting out laughing. Selene found herself getting bored with the conversation already. Annalise had gotten out a book, Adam appeared to be struggling with himself, Claire was being boring as usual, and Peter was off in dream land. That left Tif, who kinda seemed out of it, and the Headmistress, who was still thinking of ways to keep their entrance beautiful.
Digging into her bag, she pulled out a sketchbook, a few sketch pencils (Muggle pencils) and a pink muggle eraser. Technically she shouldn't have brought them along, but when you were drawing something difficult, it was nice to be able to remove the marks from the page, and only where she wanted them. Keeping the muggle instruments out of site of the Headmistress, Selene started to draw. At first the page appeared blank, a few lines here and there, but it was like Selene was drawing a moving picture as she drew. Fog, one hand slipped out of it, and then a face, long hair sweeping across shoulders, a beautiful voice echoing in the massive Great Hall. A note in the corner, and Selene found herself humming a song.
"That's who I'd be.." she whispered softly, and then looked up to see if anyone had heard her. She felt a blush creep over her cheeks before she looked back at the drawing. A hand, a foot, a face, all creeping out of a fog. Selene smiled and hummed again, letting the picture come alive with a few more strokes of her pencil. "Ahh.. mageec." she whispered, watching her picture for a moment as it let out a soft hum, as though repeating what she had just hummed. "Eet is a wonderful thing.. I wondeer what the tasks will be like..." Selene said and looked up at the others, as though daring them to think about the tasks too. "Probably dangerous, life threatening.. dirty.." she said shooting a look at Claire, it was never to late to make Claire hop off the carriage and go back to school with the rest of the students who wouldn't come.
