Ariel's eye practically lit up when he heard August. He was pretty glad that the boy had come back to the club this year and hearing his Russian just made the elder male proud, even with the minor mess up. The point was that he was trying in the first place. "I am thinking you meant to say, rusty not grow" Ariel corrected, a small smile on his face as her continued. "The two are pretty close so don't get down on yourself. You are doing really well though! If you keep it up you will be fluent in no time."
As Ariel carefully took the items the male had brought he began looking them over, while still listening to his companion. At the mention of summer, Ariel had to fight to keep the smile on his face "It went well, our family went to Ireland for Holiday to visit our Grandparents. What about yourself?" He wasn't technically lying, just...leaving out the second half of his summer which had been a bit more dramatic than he would have liked. Ariel also made sure to speak a bit slower so that August could keep up. It was good to practice conversations so he figured that continuing to speak in Russian would help, and if August needed it he would help him figure out what was said.
At the entrance of the a first year Slytherin, Ariel turned his attention away from August so that he could take the application from the young girl. "Well it's a pleasure to have you joining the club Margaux, I'm Ariel and this is August." She seemed like a nice kid. Vaguely Ariel wondered if all first years were that tall or if he was just short.
And your eyes are the size of the moon You could 'cause you can so you do We're feeling so good Just the way that we do When it's nine in the afternoon

"Rusty" August repeated, understanding at least enough to know he was being corrected. "My Russian is a little rusty. Thank you" He made a little bow out of habit before seating himself and making careful note in the notepad in his pocket.
He listened intensely as Ariel spoke, thankful that the club captain was speaking slowly enough to understand. "Good. I spend it--spent it--with my grandparents too. In Scarborough." He was still trying to figure out which country Ariel had mentioned, but at least the most of it he understood.
"Lévesque, you're in Slytherin, aren't you?" August asked politely, standing up to greet the new member. In the whole Sorting Feast mess of someone thinking he was kicking them under the table--I still need who started this slander-- he hadn't managed to catch as many names as he meant to, but he would have been very disappointed in himself if he didn't at least recognize the names of students in his own House. In any case, he would get to know this one a little better it seemed. And she was, if anything else, flawlessly polite. "Welcome."

"Nice to meet you both," Margaux said, still smiling. She was the perfect image of a well mannered proper doll. "I look forward to learning a lot this year!" She said with genuine enthusiasm. She may be "contrary" according to some, but she had genuine interests and could express excitement for them too.
When August recognized her house and name she beamed, "Yes, that is correct. You're in Slytherin too... second or third year? Sorry it is still early in the year I'm working on memorizing as many as I can. And you Ariel are a Prefect for Hufflepuff."
She looked around, "Is the showing for this club always this small? I mean small is fine, just curious." She added.

Ariel decided to drop the Russian for now, not wanting to be rude to the new member. When the younger girl turned to him and questioned him about his prefect status, a part of him wondered how she knew. Then he remembered about the pin he wore and felt a bit silly for being confused about it, even for a second.
When she brought up he size of the club, Ariel lifted a hand to rub the back of his neck. Letting out a small laugh, he smiled down at her. "Yeah, we are a pretty tight knit group. We do usually have my Co-Captain Whitney but it looks like he is running a bit late. Oh, he's in Slytherin with the two of you as well." He explained. Sure he wished more people would come to the club, but it did make teaching a bit easier since he could be a little more personable with his teachings.

spaceWhit knew he should be a little more invested in making it to the club on time since he was technically the co-captain, but he wasn't overly worried about it. Ariel could handle it himself pretty well, and Whit had only really joined in the first place to help the younger kid out and also to convince him to help teach the other members BSL. After all, the more people who could sign, the easier a time he and his siblings had in lessons. But, he knew that Ariel liked having the help, so he dutifully showed up every year. He just hoped that this year they picked something a little easier than they usually did, because learning some of the previous choices was pretty damn hard when you couldn't hear. He entered the classroom and waved at the small group that had already formed."Hey, sorry I'm late,"he signed, attempting to look like he felt at least a little guilty about it.

spaceLike a good best friend, Charley made an appearance at the language club, despite not being particularly interested in actually being there. She'd been helping Ariel with the club since the first year, so it'd be pretty lame of her to duck out now. And learning languages was useful, really. She just didn't like the more social aspect. At least this version of socializing was in a learning context, though. Most of the other clubs were more geared towards actual social activities, which wasn't really her thing. Even if she was joining the new RPG club. She had ulterior motives for that one, though. Stupid ulterior motives, but no one needed to know that. She approached the group, noticing that Ariel was speaking with one of the other members in Russian, as well as talking to a new girl in English. She'd enjoyed learning that Russian, though she wasn't as fluent as she might've liked. The only one she'd really gotten fluent in was French, because she'd already known a lot of it. Sighing, she sat down on a desk near her friend, just listening in.

Since the start of his Hogwarts time, Saturday morning had meant hanging out at the Language Club, learning a new language with a few good friends, and exploring the culture. August had started helping the teaching a few years back, and officially taken over last year when Ariel graduated. He liked the smaller atmosphere and it always made him relax a bit more.
With the effort to be more casual this year, he simply donned a linen shirt and loose pants. The sleeves barely hid the small tattoo that Lizzie had given him last year. On the inside of his left arm, just above the bend of the arm was a small pen and sword that...had more meaning than August usually let show.
But for now, August set out the forms and set out a stack of his own books about various languages he was familiar with, and set out his tea collection to share, ready to welcome whoever arrived.

╔═════════════════════════════════╗ Hailey Scheer Thirteen Years Old - Third Year - Slytherin - Muggleborn - Namaste Club Leader ╚═════════════════════════════════╝
In an attempt to get more noticed and hopefully, increase her chances of becoming a prefect in a couple of years, Hailey was on a hunt to join another club other than the one she was in charge of. The Language Club had struck her interest, and that was definitely one of the more impressive clubs that existed. The third year’s eyes immediately fell upon the only other student there as she walked into the room, who she recognized as one of her house’s prefects. Beside him lay a stack of books and several forms, and in front of him, a bunch of different teas. “Hi, August,” she greeted with a smile. A prefect running the language club further confirmed her theory that joining would only benefit her in her own attempt at achieving that title. “How was your summer?” she asked, starting up some small talk as she reached for a tea bag and a mug. Chamomile was her favourite.
Hailey Scheer - Slytherin Year: 3rd What languages do you speak?: English What languages are you interested in learning?: Japanese would be cool, but really any. Would you be interested in helping teach the club?: If I knew any languages besides English, yes.

Margaux had spent her time watching and learning over the past two years. Obviously she was better than most and it was hard not to be; however, it did not mean that she could not learn. Her superiority and lack of care to guide the more lost was likely the reason she was not even on the list of being considered for prefect. For her it was perfectly fine. Preferable honestly. Stepping into Language Club she spotted August and one of the third year Slytherin girls. She rarely bothered with names, she no different. She knew about her from watching in the common room. The over eager likely with an agenda. She's a Slytherin it was always likely there was an agenda.
The girl hardly impressed her, but she gave a semi-polite half-hearted nod to her and a polite smile and "hello" to August. August, over time, Margaux learned was unacceptable crush material but he at least had the good sense to be cute. With a brief sigh, Margaux prepared her own ginger tea and stepped back to allow the next in. Funny that a club of learning always seemed to attract the Slytherins in droves. Perhaps for the practicality of it. Ravenclaws seemed to believe in knowledge for the sake of knowledge-silly. Hufflepuffs were an odd sort she could never figure out partially because they took anyone. And, well the Gryffindors they were probably in general too busy running into walls or hitting each other in the head with beater bats.
Taking a self inking quill out of its special box from her purse she filled out the necessary check in form:
Margaux Héloïse Lévesque - Slytherin Year: 5th What languages do you speak?: French, English, some Latin What languages are you interested in learning?: Spanish or Italian, but I'm open to other languages as well Would you be interested in helping teach the club?: I would especially French as French is my first language I would say that I would be the most acceptable teacher out of our classmates
For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Ratty? My, how original, never heard that before Well, then, if you're so sure of what you want It'd better be Slytherin!

August looked up from browsing books and sipping tea to greet familiar faces with a smile. ”Hailey, good morning. Summer was fine, thanks. I got some good studying done.” he replied before really thinking through the question too hard. Truthfully his summer had been...an adventure. From taking care of Princess Rhea...learning he had an aunt who’d commit suicide...finding out some hard news with his best friend....to making a grim resolution at the the Rye Jazz Festival. He kept it quiet, his face perfectly composed. No one else needed to bother with any of that. Certainly not in polite conversation. ” How was your summer? And how’s the Namaste club doing?”
”Good morning, Margaux,” he greeted as well. He was quite fond of his Language club friends and aside from...well, Rhea herself and his other little mentees, they enjoyed a soft spot in his eyes. It didn’t hurt that both girls were Slytherin students as well. He hardly thought to glance at the forms, being mostly a formality, but was glad he did: ”Oh, you’re a fifth year now, aren’t you? Don’t forget to get rest in the middle of studying. Let me know if you need any help or just OWLs study guides.”
After chatting for a while, he opened up the club topic. Maybe it was because he knew both these girls, or just the Language Club being more low-key and close-knit, but he was much more relaxed than he’d been at the Daily Dragon opening earlier in the week. ”So. Thoughts for this year? I see Japanese, Spanish, Italian, any of which would be fascinating. My uncle has a few books for Spanish and Italian I could probably get him to send over, and we could figure things out ourselves or maybe find a willing tutor in our networks.
“Alternatively, Margaux knows French, I’m comfortable teaching Mandarin or Bangla, and we could probably review Russian or German with the resources Ariel left. Also, I know someone who would be willing to teach British Sign Language. ”

So in addition to this year’s language, I figured I’d open it up to y’all for languages over the last 4 years since Margaux would have been there for all of those years and Hailey for seems the last two at least? If there are languages you’d like for them to have covered, please PM me! Otherwise I’ll make something up in a few weeks XD.
Auggie’s current languages are English, Chinese (Mandarin), Bangla, Taiwanese (barely) , Russian (rudimentary; from club); I was leaving it open to the last four years as well.

╔═════════════════════════════════╗ Hailey Scheer Thirteen Years Old - Third Year - Slytherin - Muggleborn - Namaste Club Leader ╚═════════════════════════════════╝
Hailey nodded to show she heard August’s response. It was pretty typical for students to study during the summer. Maybe not her brother, per se, but students who actually cared about doing well. Not that Jordan didn’t do well, but he just wasn’t a straight O, or even straight EE, student. “I’m glad you had a good break,” she responded. It was only the first week back to school, so she had yet to hear any of the rumours circle the halls about August and Rhea. “It was good, and Namaste is doing well! We just had our first meeting and already got more members than last year,” Hailey couldn’t help but brag – she was proud of her yoga club. She and Chanda had put a lot of time and energy into it, so why couldn’t she gloat that they were doing well?
Feeling another presence, Hailey looked up towards the doorway and watched as Margaux stepped into the classroom. Hailey gave her a nod to say hello, but her face didn’t soften up at all from her neutral expression. Although she had never spoken to the older girl, she knew what she needed to know – Margaux was ambitious, but she only really ever thought about herself. And not in the same way that Hailey did, either. Hailey at least knew what she needed to do to gain her peers’ respect, and that was why she cared more about what August had to say than Margaux. Turning her attention back at the club’s captain, Hailey shrugged. “Any of those would be interesting to learn, and would obviously come in handy to know,” she stated. For someone who only knew English, learning a second language, even only being able to form basic sentences, was still a huge achievement.

Margaux smiled at August's greeting and waved off his warning about over studying. "I'll do fine in the subjects that are worth the studying," Margaux said. Academics rarely came hard to her as long as it came from a book or her wand. Herbology she still insisted was rubbish for someone of her standing and Potions while she could manage she found it a bit crass as well. Why play with slugs when you can pay someone too. A waiver should be allowed for some students. Unfortunately and fortunately the level of interest in her subjects tended to be reflected in her grades. She felt the same would likely be true of her OWLs; however, "I do very much appreciate the offer I help. I'm not silly enough to deny competent assistance." She smiled, much like an angel, and nodded her head in thanks.
"I must say sign language would be the bottom of my preferred languages, including the idea of the work that teaching my and my family's mother tongue would be while studying for the owls and perfecting my designs," Margaux began, not wanting to step on too many toes by pointing out that sign language would be only useful for speaking with disabled individuals who probably the world was best not hearing their thoughts as they were obviously born as a less than, "However, Hailey, was it? Since you are new to our ranks, and very busy it seems, perhaps you should chose what will be most suitable for you. Or if you are truly indecisive, we could pick at random out of the most beneficial options."
For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Ratty? My, how original, never heard that before Well, then, if you're so sure of what you want It'd better be Slytherin!

August headed to the Language Club in the morning with Sparrow on his heels. They two chatted amicably in Chinese, Sparrow occasionally filling a word in in English and August informing her of the correct word. August was skeptical Sparrow would stay in the club the full year--no doubt her attention would be captured by another club by second semesters--but he welcomed his younger cousin’s attendance either way. Sparrow had a knack for mimicking accents and words, and would at least be a new face.
”Here. This is our club room.” August set his reference books out, straightened the club forms on a desk and sat back, resuming the conversation until more people showed up.

Margaux truly enjoyed her one core choice of extracurricular. The only other club she had considered early on was the art club but rumor had it in her opinion that the club was madness and mayhem. Sure the language club was not the elite of society, it was intellectual, it was useful, and it was enjoyable. And as a future businesswoman it was only natural she should be able to express herself and her work in jewels and gems in as many ways as possible.
Spotting August and a much younger student, someone new but not a first year, chatting Margaux smiled. August was still fun to look at and even more enjoyable to chat with. Such a shame for pureblood society that he was only a muggleborn. Brushing her long dark brown hair behind her ear revealing simple cherry blossom earrings she had designed with her favorite stones (pink sapphire), she greeted August (and the younger girl) in a couple different languages before she took up a form and with a self inking quill began to fill out the usual form.
Margaux Héloïse Lévesque - Slytherin Year: 5th What languages do you speak?: French, English, some Latin, a bit of the languages we have gone over in the past 5 years What languages are you interested in learning?: Portuguese Would you be interested in helping teach the club?: I would especially French as French is my first language I would say that I would be the most acceptable teacher out of our classmates
Holding out her finished form, Margaux said, "Pleasure to return. I hope the summer treated you well... and you," Margaux said glancing to the younger girl, "I am Margaux Lévesque of the Lévesque Dynasty." Her introduction was stiff and arrogant, but as it was she at least offered the introduction at all and acknowledged the younger girl. Oh how her mother and likely her father would be horrified to know. No need for them to know her little actions, Margaux had decided over time, so far as it was in no way to bring dishonor to the Lévesque Dynasty.

spaceMallaidh entered the classroom with a small smile for August, filling out her required form and turning it him to him before taking a seat. She wasn't particularly interested in socializing with anyone but August, and treated this particular club more like a class than anything else. He was busy running the thing, so she could spend time with him at other times. She just wanted to learn more languages, something she didn't have an affinity for, exactly, but was fairly decent with. It was challenging, and she liked a good challenge.
