❖ adventure 01; to Hogwarts.

[tothebusplz]

[ THUMP. .. a journal's fallen open. Liz, however, is there to pick it up and, by the look of it, she isn't aware that she's accidentally activated the video feed. Quill in hand, the chameleon scribbles down a set of directions that might look, somewhat, familiar to anybody that's paid attention on the Hogwarts Express. Liz, then, hands the journal

[John is impressed. Very impressed.]

Well, you certainly know how to make an entrance, don't you? What is that you're riding exactly?

And for your next test, [insert name here], you will attempt to make contact with - [The sound cuts out, and the next few lines appear as text.]

Sorry about that, we're having a bit of trouble with a rogue spell. I'm Dr. John Smith, fellow new fac member. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[ ! ! ! a confused Liz peeks into the journal, which, strangely enough, appears to be talking to her and the Friz. ( 8O! ) Hurling it up into the air, she darts behind the ginger haired Professor. ]

Hello there! [ Ms. Frizzle is there to catch it. ] Ha Ha, you said it! It's as my grandpapi used to say, the best entrance is always the most different.

He's my School Bus. [ School Broom, maybe. ]

Oh! Don't worry about it, Dr. Smith. I'm sure it can't be all that bad. [ Chuckles a bit more. ] I'm Ms. Valerie Frizzle and this, here, is Liz, [ Liz peers over Ms. Frizzle's shoulder to wave. ] .. and then you have my Bus!

Honk Honk!

[prof_doctor]

Nice to meet you, Liz, Bus, Valerie. Please, just call me John. I save the Doctor-ing for the students. What subject will you be teaching?

Your Bus looks fascinating - how all does it work?

[tothebusplz]

It is an absolute pleasure to meet you, John. [ Liz nods her head in agreement. ] I will be the new Astronomy Professor for Years 1 - 5.

I could tell you, John, but I'd much rather show you. [ Ms. Friz smiles, and the Bus kicks it into high gear so that, in moments, they arrive at Hogwarts. ]

[notaferry]

Oh, well that's an interesting way to travel! A bus that transforms into a broom...

[Says the ghostly spirit guide who rides an oar.]

You're one of the new professors, aren't you, hmm?

[tothebusplz]

He can change into more than just a broom!

[ .. traditional modes of transportation are so last year. ]

Bingo! I'm Ms. Frizzle, the new Astronomy Professor. Oh! and this is Liz, [ Cue chameleon popping up to wave. ] and then this is my Bus.

Honk Honk!

Who might you be, darling?

[notaferry]

[so very]

Ah! Nice to meet you Ms. Frizzle, Liz and...Bus. [That was a bit unusual, even for her.] I'm Botan, a ghost of the house of Hufflepuff! Have you been to Hogwarts before?

[tothebusplz]

It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Botan. [ Pardon Ms. Friz a moment, Botan, she is just a little excited to be meeting a ghost. ] Nope! It's my first time here, but so far I'm loving it.

[I don't even know. Leans closer to her journal to get a better look]

[Then it hits her]

A transmutable vehicular contrivance that combines both supernatural and scientific propulsion and elements!!!

[Washu is impressed! It looks like science and magic working together~! A field she's been delving into herself for some time]

[ Who is that? Liz leans in closer, too.

Eep!

.. as the strange person speaks Liz retreats to Ms. Frizzle's shoulder. ]
