A Street...Outside the 3 Broomsticks

Viper shrugged in reply. "No, not particularly. Returning to Hogwarts sounds like a good idea, if everyone would like that."

A bright smile appeared on Viper's face. "We could figure it all out over there and later on go out and around London and such?" she suggested, leaving it up to Sveta and what she wanted to do.

Svetlana nodded at the suggestion of returning to Hogwarts. Well, in her case it would be going to Hogwarts, as she had yet to see the magical school aside from what she was able to see at this distance.

"Sure - and thank you both for the varm velcome!" she said cheerfully. But then, a thought came to her. "I am wondering: how vill ve work around my brother? Does he follow a particular schedule?"

Kiara smiled and nodded, Very glad Sveta had a better welcome at hogmeade then her brother had, she would have felt so bad if the residents of Hogsmeade treated Sveta the same way the treated Sevastyan.

Kiara looked thoughful for a moment, Hogwarts was a big castle with more then enough places to avoid someone, but if your luck would have it they would likely bump into Sevastyan the moment they walked in the door.

Then she smiled "I believe Viper could help with that?" she said similar to the way they had gotten Sevastyan to distract Viper on her birthday. Viper could keep Sevastyan's attention diverted until the moment the surprise was to come.

She couldn't wait to see the look on Sevastyan's face, she knew much he missed his family back in Russia.

"Plus I have your guest quarters far away from your brothers and a map of a few secret coridors you can used. You will only need to hide form him for one day, I think we can do it" she said with a smile

Viper smiled with a hint of mischief and pure Slytherin spirit. "No worries. I think I've got something worked out."

Knowing how close he and Sveta were considering he spoke of her with such love and affection, Viper couldn't wait to see the look on Sevastyan's face at the arranged reunion. Upon meeting Sveta in Russia, Viper had struggled to keep her promise to the witch and keep silent, a few occassions nearly blurting out the secret, but now it was over and in a mere number of hours, she would see her beloved even happier.

"Where will Sveta's quarters be located?" Viper asked curiously, intending to give the nearest located House students a strict talking to with instructions to be extra courteous to Sveta.

Sveta couldn't help but smile at the pair and their plans. From what she'd found out from Amaranth Viper herself, there was no doubt in Svetlana's mind that the love of her brother's life would be able to keep him distracted. It would indeed be great to see him: he worked rather diligently at teaching all he knew about defending oneself against the Dark Arts, and then after Boris's elder brother had been killed... well, that pretty much solidified that Sevastyan would only be coming and going between countries if he absolutely had to.

Eyebrows rose in response to the perceived distance between her brother's chambers and her guest ones. Not in alarm but out of intrigue. After giving it a moment of thought, she nodded both in comprehension and thanks. "Vas has mentioned that Hogwarts is qvite a large castle... And yes, vone day should be easy enough to manage," she replied, eyes bright at the prospect of deliberately hiding from her brother. It would be just like old times when she and her brothers would play a kind of hide-and-seek type game when they were children. Though... it had never lasted quite that long: either the hiding places would be discovered or the game would be interrupted by their parents.

At Viper's question to Kiara, Svetlana also turned to the Headmistress with curiosity. Though, she hadn't even thought of the students also occupying the castle and how they would take to having another foreign guest in their midst. She did well with teenagers and children, or so she liked to think. After all, if she was going to become a healer she had to be - especially if she went into Pediatrics. Or, at least, this was Svetlana's opinion.

Kiara smiled at Viper, not bothering to go into details on how she will keep Sevastyan occupied. From the look in the younger womens eyes she didn't want to know.

"Excelent" she said.

At the question as to where she would be staying Kiara smiled, she had put alot of thought in to that.

"I have a Guest Chamber set up by Ravenclaw Tower, you will be naighbors with our residant Head of Ravenclaw, Ethan Addams" she said with a smile. Sevastyan barely tolerated the chatty professor at this point, so it was the best place she could think of.

Viper nodded in reply, her smile brightening. "Ah, nearby the Ravenclaws. That's not too bad. A rather nifty lot, in fact. I'm sure they'll be exceptionally polite and welcoming. They are quite friendly." She added, mentally thinking of all the Ravenclaws she knew. It was one of the perks of having only a 5 year gap between her and some of the students: she had known the sixth and seventh year students when she was a fellow student with them, so it made things slightly easier.

A soft giggle escaped Viper as Kiara mentioned who Sveta's neighbor would be. "I assure you, Sveta, you will certainly not be bored. He is definately a blast to be with, very funny. He's a very good friend of mine, one I've known for quite some time."

"Shall we?" Viper asked curiously, wondering if the other two would like to move onward so Sveta could get settled.

Svetlana smiled upon hearing where she would be staying, and nodded. She wouldn't have minded being closer to Viper, but realized that her brother would likely be all over the main passageways there. Yet, she wasn't at all objecting to being placed near this Ethan fellow... whoever he was. Head of Ravenclaw didn't tell her much, but she had the feeling her new neighbor of sorts and she would get along just fine. With an inward chuckle she wondered if it was the distance or perhaps some quirk about Ethan that Sevastyan would avoid. "Thank you," she said to Kiara with a smile on her face.

Viper's information was equally helpful, which made Sveta smile even further. "I'm glad to hear that," she replied with a giggle to match the other woman's. Laughter was contagious, they say, and the witch was already happy to be with both women she considered her friends. True, she didn't know much about Kiara yet but Svetlana already thought just as well of her as she thought of Viper.

"We shall," she replied, still smiling, and would make to follow the pair wherever they would lead her... and try to remember how to navigate through the castle to and from her chambers.
