Weslyn kept one hand on her younger brother’s arm, partially in an attempt to guide him away from running into things and partially just not getting lost in the crowd. She was a swirl of feelings, equal parts nervous and excited. Since her adoption almost a year ago, Weslyn’s world had considered only of the acres of the farm, and she had only left its fields when running to the nearby river. So while she’d seen more people on an everyday basis in the city, this market fair was the most people she had been around in a long while. And it was certainly the first magical market she’d ever been to.
Around them the fairgoers jostled and busied about. Over the din of vendors setting up and advertising their wares, she could make out music and feet stamping to the beat. The air was tinged with delicious smells she couldn’t quite parse. The family stopped, and Kerr--Dad--was talking to someone. Weslyn glanced away for a moment, watching a man with a pointed hat wave a wand and send a parade of plushies onto his display panel.
Kenny was moving again, and Weslyn followed, eyes wide as she tugged them out of the path of a vendor wrangling with a few strange-looking critters. It wasn’t until she looked around her and realized she couldn’t spot Kerr or Hannah or even Yukon that she tugged Kenny’s arm more urgently. ”K-Kenny? Wait a moment. I can’t see anyone.”

Kenny loved the fair. It was a welcome assault of his senses. Such sounds and smells! He also loved seeing sush movement and colors! He have to remember all this so he could paint it later. Having eyesight such as his should help as blobs of color were easy enough to remember. Wes, his sister was his current chaperone where usually it was Yukon. That was fine, he could show his sister the wonders of the fair. She might even share funnel cake with him. He felt himself get pulled away right when her heard som rowdy creatures. Oh that what that blob was, an animal! Wes sounded worried, she seemed to have lost mom and dad. "Well dad likely is talking farming to other farmers so if we locate more farmers of go to that section perhaps we can find them" Kenny said thoughtfully. "Let get a funnel cake to eat while you look. We got fair money from mom." He knew it did no good to panic. Plus he wanted funnel cake and if they got in trouble for wandering off then he likely wouldn't get any.

Kenny made a good point, Weslyn noted. If they looked for the farmers, Dad and Mum were sure to be there. She clung a little tighter to Kenny’s arm as he led them towards the funnel cakes, peering up at the canopy of people towering over them. Once they were away from the thick of the crowd, Wes tried searching the crowds for their family.
First I get myself lost, but then I also got Kenny lost too, she worried. What if Hannah was mad? She fiddled nervously with the fluffy pouch that held her fair money, looking around for a familiar face.
Seeing--and smelling-- only dessert stands, Weslyn paused for a moment, checking the prices for a funnel cake. That seemed more than she expected. She was about to ask Kenny if it was too expensive when the flavors caught her eye ”Frank Fettuccini’s Five-topping Funnel Fiesta: Powdered sugar, ice cream, raspberry, chocolate...and fried in a surprise of babbling, laugh-inducing or vo-volumbis potion?” She stared at the last word, certain it wasn’t a word she knew. Or maybe she just wasn’t reading it right? Well they all seemed harmless, judging by the people enjoying their funnel cakes to bouts of funny-voiced nonsense and laughter. ”Kenny? The funnel cakes are made in some kind of strange potion I think. Maybe we should just stick to a normal funnel cake? Raspberry and powdered sugar sounds good.”

Kenny using his trusty nose to sniff out the funnel cakes. He eagerly listened to Weslyn read the flavors off to him. "Ill go powdered sugar it less messy and sticky." Kenny grabbed his money. He had primarily silver sickles. "How much is it? Maybe we both can get some if we are wanting differant flavors." Kenny was sure he could finish one by himself. Sure he regret it but he rarely to them so it be worth it. He would trust his sister to place the order and soon they were just waiting to have them fry. "Is this your first fair?" Kenny asked. He only had his sister for so long and he wanted to know more.

”Thirteen sickles for one topping. Could I just take a small piece of yours?” Weslyn read off the sign, then counted out the coins between the two of them to order. Sure she would have gone for raspberry, but after seeing the size of those things, she decided against it. Even if Kenny wanted the entire cake, there was no way she was finishing one on her own. ”Could we get a funnel cake with one topping, please? Just the powdered sugar please. ”
Soon they were waiting to the side. Weslyn searched around again for their family, but to no success. She wondered if Mum had noticed they were gone yet. Well, if she couldn’t find anyone, she had to at least stay with Kenny.
Her little brother caught her with a question, and Weslyn took a few moments to ponder the question. Back in Dublin, Alice had definitely gone to a few student fairs with her parents. That had been before the magic, and she had vague recollections of cheering, noise and sweet pink stickiness that had gotten all over her hair and had made mother very mad at her afterwards. But did Weslyn have that memory? She glanced around, taking in these new colors and sounds and smells. There was no wild cheering, but there was the distant sound of a fiddle; no pink fluffy mess, but there was a couple doubled over their funnel cake, giggling uncontrollably.
”This is my first fair,” Weslyn decided. ”What about you? Do you know what there is to do here?” She knew they would be selling potatoes and some of Kenny’s paintings that day, but wasn’t sure what else one did at magical fairs. She didn’t know if Kenny had gone with their parents usually, but he had seemed pretty confident where the funnel cakes were-- then again, that could just be a testament to his keen nose.

Kenny stood Weslyn ordered their food and scooted off to the side to await their yummy treat. He couldn't help but notice the delay in her awnser. Perhaps he ask about it later when she wasn't worried he never truly got a straight awnser when he asked about her pre Knolle days. Perhaps he was being too nosy? He recalled her having to get used to the farm life. Perhaps she had lived in the city before? Perhaps the citys didn't do fairs like this one.
Soon the funnel.cake was ready and kenny held it and let Weslyn have the first chunk. "Here you go! Now let go find mom and dad. If you see lots of overalls were in the right place!" Their dad loved overalls as they fit well he said. Kenny found it too cumbersome with his bad coordination

Yukon Knolle Unsorted Hogwarts First Year
Yukon sighed as he left his parents, he had wanted to stay at the potato booth, but he was sent on a mission, go find your siblings. So off he did. Mind you, his parents didn't specifically ask him to go find Weslyn and Kenny, but the two of them needed supervision, they were too young. When he spotted the duo, he smiled and snuck up behind them, "Hello, Mom and Dad misplaced you both, but they don't know that yet. So I came to find you." He reached over and pulled off a small piece of funnel cake, "We won't tell them you wandered off, we all three wandered off together. We also won't tell them that we're feeding you pure sugar Kenny." He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Kenny's face off, "But, we won't be able to hide that funnel cake from them if you have powdered sugar all over your face you dork." He loved his siblings, even if Weslyn was adopted and Kenny was much younger, they were a part of his family and that made them special to him. "Once we've finished these, we should go try the throw a dart at a balloon of paint thing. Kenny will know which balloons have the best paint in them," Yukon chuckled, not actually knowing if Yukon would be able to tell the color that was held within a balloon, but it would be fun to try it out anyways, keep Kenny on his toes. "That is, if you two want to. We could also find Mom and Dad again, and they can give suggestions or take us home."

”Thank you” Weslyn said, reading out to take a small piece of funnel cake. ”Oh! It’s so warm! And sweet!” She didn’t know what she had expected.
Suddenly, a voice greeted them. Weslyn jumped at Yukon’s surprise greeting. She was immediately relieved it was Yukon and not some stranger, and then guilty. She should have been looking for him or their parents.
But Yukon didn’t seem to be angry or upset at them for getting lost. Instead, he suggested they say that all three of them had wandered off. Weslyn nodded quietly, accepting the story. He went on to wipe Kenny’s face and suggest they throw darts at balloons. She remembered something like that? But no paint had been involved. Part of her wanted to go find their parents’ stall just in case, but Yukon did seem to think it would be fun, and he didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get back. ”I’ll just follow you two,” she said, helping herself to another small corner of funnel cake.

Kenny smiled as Weslyn liked the funnel cake. She seemed sad often when she first joined the family so Kenny wanted her happy. He had even made sure she had a painting special from him. When Yukon approached Kenny jumped a bit internally. Usully he could tell when Yukon was trying to sneak up on him but with the dull roar of the crowd it was hard to do so. "We'll need to all eat this cake then huh?" He said as he took another bite. He ended up squishing his face a bit as Yukon wiped it. "I'm just going to get more on my face y'know." He said with a chuckle. He was good with following Yukon's lead so they wouldn't get in trouble as much. At the mention of explosive paint balloons Kenny lit up. "Will they let us keep it?" He asked. If not he would see of they could do this at home

“I’ll just have to. Clean it off of your face again, won’t I?” Yukon noted that Weslyn wasn’t seeming sure about exploring more. He wanted her to be comfortable and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and squeezed in a side hug. He said to Kenny, ”They may let you keep the painting behind it. They may only take a picture. You may get a prize. Who knows. If it’s a prize, we should let Weslyn pick it out. She’s done such a good job keeping up with you today.” he looked up at the sky and tried to figure how long they’d been here. Maybe their parents would miss them... it was probably fine. Besides, if they really couldn’t find them, Mom could always use a spell to find them. He took the funnel cake from Kenny and turned the pair towards the booths and pointed at the one filled with balloons, ”Last one there is a rotten potato.” he didn’t want Kenny dropping the plate as they took off, besides it was fine with Yukon if he was the last one there. It was more fun to see the kids enjoy themselves.

Weslyn nibbled neatly on a piece of funnel cake as she watched her brother's banter over getting in a mess. Kenny certainly seemed to think that the paint balloons sounded fun, even if she was a little nervous about Kenny throwing potentially sharp things. But she could understand the appeal of another painting-- she remembered the first painting Kenny had gifted her--still her favorite--layers of blue and silver specks with green smudges they two knew were turtles. It hung on her door, and she still liked to stare at it when she felt particularly anxious.
She glanced up when Yukon hugged her from the side. Her shoulders were tense as always, but she seemed more relieved with Yukon there. He and Kenny decided they were paint-darting. Then Yukon took the plate shooed them off towards the booths. With a firm grip on Kenny's hand, Wes took off at his speed, guiding them to the booth.
The balloon booth was a mess of color. Balloons of different colors floated in the space was in front of a giant board divided roughly into three ranges. A cheerful old man with splots of paint in his beard kept the mass of balloons levitated in front.
"Step right up to paint the board! Three competitors, three darts each, 100 balloons, who will make the most colllooorrr?!" the old man advertised. A sign near the throwing line read prices: It was 3 sickles each to take part, and the person who hit the most balloons and splattered the most paint on their board got to keep their board. Otherwise, it was another 5 sickles to keep the painted board.
"Welcome! You three look like a perfect trio of competitors. What do you say, 3 darts each, 100 balloons, and a flurrrrrrrry of fun!" The jolly man leaned down. "If you're really skilled you might hit the tiny golden balloon with a ~surprise~ inside!"
Weslyn looked back at her brothers. It sounded like a glorious mess, but she was kinda better at dodging things thrown than throwing things herself.

Kenny listened to the rules. "We should! I should be able to hit I think." He said before counted out the silver coins. He could tell they were sickles from the shinny grey he was able to see. Once they got paid up kenny was the first to go. He was careful with the dart. It had a colorful tail so he made sure to grab it right. The ballon colors were all smeared together but gold was a brown yellow right? Kenny took a shot hoping to hit a baloon

Yukon Knolle Unsorted First Year
▬▬"PotatoeshaveSkin.IhaveSkin."▬▬
Yukon smiled at his siblings, they were a hoot, and of course they would throw the darts, Kenny would be thrilled at it. It was probably terrible in actuality, another method for how Kenny would be throwing paint around in his little studio. At least it kept Kenny out of their mom's hair, but the mess Kenny could make would be something else. "Kind of nice, at least one of us will be able to win the painting for the house." He made a note as to how much Kenny was spending, wanting to put that mucuh back into his brother's pockets. Kenny would need all of his allowance for his paint supplies, Yukon wouldn't need as much since he was going to Hogwarts, he would be able to spell things he needed, or borrow them from someone else.
Yukon sat the funnel cake plate down on the booth and took his shot at throwing a dart, how was one going to actually hit one of these balloons? It couldn't be that hard could it?
