"...Bruder, we're lost aren't we?"
Honestly Johann probably should have expected this.
The young Austrian was new to the school, and he wanted to get himself acquainted with the grand halls of Beauxbatons. The place was beautiful! His eyes tried taking in all the sights, architecture and artistry woven in everything. It made the boy glad that he chose this school, it was pleasing to the eye made his art loving heart want to explode! Although, there was another reason why he wanted to attend this school. His older brother, Roderich, was going to Beauxbatons and the young boy wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Johann had missed hearing his brothers music, and seeing him at home everyday. Yes, he loved his sister but at some of the stories he heard of Durmstrang he felt that he would be crushed there. For that fact he admired how his sister could make it at that school. But, once he arrived here his older brother was nice enough to offer him a tour of the grounds. Wow! This place helped my brother with direction? This is great! He thought happily. He should have known better.
After they had been walking for ..an hour, the boy slowly began to notice that Roderich was getting confused. It was confirmed once they began to pass hallways that they had already go through, or had to turn around three times only to wind up at a dead end. It was bound to happen, and the young Austrian had no idea why he had thought his brother was better at directions. At home Johann was usually the one leading the way, memorizing maps and not getting lost. Johann sighed quietly. This is not a good situation...I have no idea how to navigate these halls, if I had a map I could do it. Looking up to his brother, he reached over and took his hand. "Bruder, I think we need to call for help....I don't know how to get us back." he said a bit sadly. Looking around, the boy hoped to find someone who knew how to get them out of this mess.

point me in the right direction "...Bruder, we're lost aren't we?"
His brother's question brought a pink dusting to his cheeks as he flushed from embarrassment and immediately pushed his glasses up to hide it from the younger child. He'd reviewed the maps of Beauxbaton this morning, and Gott, after six years, you'd think that the Edelstein curse (which little Johann mercifully had been spared, probably) would be a thing of the past - but apparently not. As Roderich looked at the beautiful decorated halls of the manor that Beauxbatons was housed in, he recognized absolutely nothing and was truly lost.
How mortifying! In front of his younger brother, no less, the brother he'd been so excited to show around the school. Truly he should have asked Mihai's help, as the witch was a Rosier much like his brother now, and... well, Roderich had engaged his directional services for the past few years. But he'd wanted to appear so...competent for his little brother, now that the boy could join them in Beauxbatons. He patted his coat pockets to check if he had the good sense to have brought a map just in case, but no, apparently he had failed in more than one front today, commonsense being one of them.
Roderich cast a guilty glance down at the boy as he reached for his hand, Roderich's much longer hand quickly enveloping the fair-headed boy's smaller one. He was the elder, the protector. It was Johann who was supposed to look up to him today, and not...show more sense than he generally did.
"Bruder, I think we need to call for help....I don't know how to get us back."
Roderich gulped, rather uncomfortable. "I suppose these hallways may look...similar which may have aided us in...losing ourselves." He finally spoke up. "But I doubt we shall find anyone..." How many hours had he spent in all these years wandering the halls until he was found? Too many - staying put generally worked better.
Thankfully the floors of the hallways were generally kept spotlessly clean. Roderich let go of Johann's hand and shrugged before moving to the wall to sit down.
"Not that this occurs frequently, little brother." Roderich lied, patting the patch of floor beside him. "But I have found that not moving around generally gets you found quicker. Sit down here and someone shall come across us eventually."

Well, what have we here?Snežana had just come from an early study session with a group of friends, her twin included, which they had arranged mostly out of a desire to make sure none of them had forgotten too much over the summer. Her plans for the rest of the day had been quite innocuous, mostly consisting of practicing various skills she expected to need over the coming months, but the rather intriguing sight that presented itself to her as she turned a corner suggested that they might possibly need to be... rearranged a bit. She paused just before she reached the pair of young gentlemen seated on the ground, one familiar enough and the other a very small stranger to her, and looked over their faces for a long moment. She knew Roderich Edelstein, of course; he looked rather embarrassed, for reasons that she could only assume had some sort of connection to the fact that he was currently sitting on the floor. The much younger child sitting next to him--a boy, she guessed? It was difficult to tell for certain--bore him just enough resemblance that she wondered if this was his younger sibling. Her heart twisted, though she carefully kept her thoughts off her face. Did Roderich have a younger sibling, too? Was he showing his sibling around the school? That was an entertainment Snežana should have had, except that her little sister had died too young. She would never get to introduce Zora to the beauty of Beauxbatons, never see her baby sister grow up... it hurt to think it, even years later. She envied Roderich in that moment, though she took care not to show that either. "Master Edelstein," she greeted her year-mate formally with a nod, before turning her gaze to the child and asking, "and may I inquire as to your name?" made by MISSO

"I suppose these hallways may look...similar which may have aided us in...losing ourselves." At that Johann knew that they where both indeed lost. Because his brother only said something like that when he got them lost around town, or their family's summer house. But, Johann's hope for finding someone to give them a way out of here went down the moment his brother said,"But I doubt we shall find anyone...". I really should have asked for a map...maybe I could have memorized it a little, and somehow find a way close to their destination. He thought, feeling a bit down on himself.
"Not that this occurs frequently, little brother." Johann knew he was lying. His brother patted the patch of floor beside him. "But I have found that not moving around generally gets you found quicker. Sit down here and someone shall come across us eventually." Smiling a little, because he really couldn't stay mad at the other..and if his brother had gotten lost frequently in these halls before the younger got here, well then maybe sitting down and waiting for help worked. Shrugging, he sat beside his older brother and leaned on his shoulder. "If you say so bruder~" He looked around a moment, to see if he spotted anyone. "I hope someone comes this way soon though, that way we can continue the tour."
The sound of foot steps caught his ear, making them perk up because wow who knew that his wish would come true! The person who walked up looked to be in his brothers year, she was probably here awhile. So that meant she could show them around..and she looked nice enough, so maybe she would help. "Master Edelstein," she greeted formally towards his brother with a nod, then turned to Johann. "and may I inquire as to your name?" The young Austrian smiled politely. "I'm Johann Edelstein, a first year here~ Who are you miss?"
