It was their first night back from the Christmas holidays, and there had been some new students Sorted into Houses who hadn’t been at Hogwarts the term before. It was sort of unusual, Penelope thought, but she didn’t really pay much attention to it, choosing to focus on the conversation at the Hufflepuff table. It was nice to catch up with the other students in her House after she hadn’t seen them for a few weeks, and of course the food at Hogwarts was as excellent as it usually was, until she noticed one of the new students—a very attractive young man and now, apparently, a Slytherin—had approached someone else he seemed to know already. And it looked as though it was Edmund Windsor.
She didn’t give it too much thought at first. First of all, being in Hufflepuff, friendliness was sort of in Penelope’s nature. They were the House that was known for being the accepting bunch out of everyone at Hogwarts. That wasn’t to say that all Slytherins were cold and calculating; she knew that not all of them fit that stereotype. Second of all, it wasn’t as though people with connections to the Muggle world wouldn’t recognize the royalty among them. Still, however, she glanced over at the Slytherin table a few more times as she continued her meal and her conversations with her fellow Hufflepuffs. The two boys were still conversing, and, as luck would have it, Lusie Windsor was seated across from her and over a place diagonally, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to ask her about it—him. Whoever he was, he seemed to be more than some fan.
“Lusie,” Penelope began after eyeing the new student again, “who’s the boy talking to Edmund over there? Do you know him?”

Lusie saw the familiar face walk into the great hall with a handful of other mid year transfers and get sorted into Slytherin house. Amedeo Grimaldi, she had heard that he got expelled from his last school, Beauxbatons she knew, but she hadn’t thought in her wildest dreams that he would be here. That would make for an interesting year. Lusie planned on staying as far away as she could from the boy. She forgot about him as soon as the food appeared on the tables. Until Penelope, a girl in her year who she knew and liked well asked her who the guy talking to her brother was. Lusie turned her head and saw Amedeo there. Oh poor Edmund. “Amedeo Grimaldi.” Lusie sighed, almost wanting to go and save Ed from the Royal pain seated with him. “his father is the Crowned Prince of Monaco.” Monaco didn’t have a king, Ames father was the closest thing to it. “I’ve got no clue what he’s doing here…” she admitted.

“Amedeo Grimaldi,” Lusie answered with a sigh, saying that the boy’s father was the Crown Prince of Monaco. “I’ve got no clue what he’s doing here…”
Penelope didn’t know, nor did she particularly care. Amedeo was a name that she hadn’t heard before, though she knew where Monaco was—that tiny country that bordered France and almost Italy. Lusie didn’t sound as though she was Amadeo’s biggest fan, although Penelope found it hard not to be. From what she could see of him, he was handsome, without a doubt. “…So he’s a prince?” she asked for clarification, partially wanting to make sure that she hadn’t heard Lusie incorrectly, as she glanced at the young man again. If his father was a prince, then that probably put him somewhere in line for a throne, didn’t it?

Penny asked if he was a prince and Lusie nodded. “Yes he is.” of course, Lusie knew that he had older siblings and that he would never reign, but she wasn’t sure even he cared about that. Monte Carlo was the richest city in the world, he didn’t need to rule, he had the wealth, that ruled enough. She glanced back over her shoulder as her poor brother was being held captive at the Slytherin table. He had been sorted into Ed’s house. Not surprising but Lusie still felt sorry for Ed. “he’s been all over the tabloids really. Did you hear about the prince who crashed his yacht off the coast of Greece last summer?” she asked before filling her mouth with mashed potatoe.

Lusie confirmed her suspicions that, yes, Amedeo was a prince, and then she looked over her shoulder at the boys. "He’s been all over the tabloids really. Did you hear about the prince who crashed his yacht off the coast of Greece last summer?"
A yacht?! "He's got a yacht?" Penelope whispered in disbelief, not wanting to end up embarrassing herself by saying it too loudly. She hadn't seen the Muggle tabloids, at least. Occasionally she glanced over them because her father was a Muggle, but it wasn't as though she paid them too much mind; the magical world had its own scandals and celebrities to keep up with, and she was sure that she would have remembered something about a prince and a yacht. "Like, an actual ship? On the water?" she motioned, making a little wave with her hand. "Was he alright?"

Lusie smirked a little when Penelope seemed impressed by the simple mention of him having a yacht. “I’d assume he has a whole fleet of them.” she nodded again between bites. Then Penelope asked if the ship was actually on water and Lusie nodded yet again. “yeah. I mean obviously he’s fine he’s here now.” she hadn’t heard if anyone had been hurt or killed in the accident but she figured she probably would have if it had been bad enough. “I mean what do you expect when you put a bunch of drunk teenagers on a boat alone?” not that she thought he deserved to have sank it. But it didn’t surprise her.

"I’d assume he has a whole fleet of them," Lusie smirked at her between bites of her food. She added that Amedeo was fine, reminding her that he was there at Hogwarts now.
That was true, Penelope thought as she took a few bites of her own food; he didn't look like he was hurt.
"I mean what do you expect when you put a bunch of drunk teenagers on a boat alone?"
Penelope giggled. Also true. She'd seen her share of drunk teenagers over the years of her being at Hogwarts to imagine how disastrously something like that could end. And those times were always on dry land—in Hogsmeade or wherever a party was being held in the castle where the staff couldn't immediately put a stop to the festivities. "I'd ride his yacht," she mumbled upon taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.

Penelope was interested in the party prince, Lusie could see her dreamy little smile from a mile away. Oh dear. The poor girl had no idea what she was about to walk into, and Lusie didn’t judge people for the most part. Amedeo was nice enough in very small doses, but now that he was here she could only imagine the drama they were all in for. The Hufflepuff said that she would ride his yacht and Lusie knew what she was meaning. She shook her head, swallowing her bite before she spoke. “don’t be gross. Don’t be that girl.” she teased, but she had more respect for Penny than that. “you’re already obsessed arent you?”

Lusie scolded her upon hearing her comment about Amedeo's "yacht", which she probably deserved. "You're already obsessed, aren't you?"
Penelope giggled a little and had to nod her head. Amedeo was attractive and obviously wealthy enough to own at least one yacht, but maybe she had gone a little too far, considering that she hadn't even met this new prince at Hogwarts yet. If anyone could fix that, though, it was Lusie. "Could you introduce me?" she asked the other girl guiltily, hoping that she wouldn't say no. "I promise I won't embarrass you."

Penelope asked her to introduce her to the prince and Lusie sighed but nodded. At her comment about not embarrassing her, Lusie shrugged. “there’s nothing you could do that would embarrass me in front of him.” Lusie wasn’t very judgmental, but he was already such an embarrassment. She could feel the embarrassment radiating off of her brother as they sat together. What they could be talking about he couldn’t even guess. He felt bad for him.
When the meal ended and everyone started to get up to head to their respective common rooms, Lusie lead Penelope over to the prince, just in time for Ed to run away on his own. “Amedeo, lovely to see you.” she lied politely. “I wanted to introduce you to my friend, Penelope Bainbridge.” there she had done what she was asked. “I’ll leave you to it.” she bid them goodnight and was on her way.

Amedeo stuck around Edmund for most of the meal and when it was time to leave for their common room, he figured he’d just follow the fellow prince back since they were going to the same place, but Ed’s sister, the one his age, the pretty, shy, little princess, stopped him and introduced him to a friend of hers before running on. Pity she ran away so quickly, but at least he was getting other attention. “how do you do, ms. bainbridge?” he greeted, letting his charm ooze out as he took her hand and placed a small kiss on it. He might as well make himself known now. penelope raisa bainbridge

“There’s nothing you could do that would embarrass me in front of him,” Lusie assured her with a shrug, although Penelope had to question if the other girl was just trying to make her feel better about the whole thing. She didn’t seem to have any apprehensions about introducing her to Amedeo, though, which Penelope was happy about.
As the meal ended and everyone began to get up from dinner, Lusie took her over to Edmund and Amedeo to introduce her to the Monégasque prince. “Amedeo, lovely to see you,” Lusie spoke to him once they had reached him. “I wanted to introduce you to my friend, Penelope Bainbridge.” She was exceptionally quick to excuse herself, however, adding, “I’ll leave you to it,” before she vanished.
Looking as Lusie disappeared, Penelope gave Amedeo a quick curtsy. Up close with him now, the prince was even more handsome than Penelope had realized, and of course Lusie had just left her.
“How do you do, Ms. Bainbridge?” Amedeo asked her, picking up her hand and kissing the top of it.
Penelope’s cheeks became instantly redder than they had been a moment before, and she smiled at the young man. ”It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness,” she squeaked out, trying not to sound too giddy. She knew that she didn’t even act that way around Lusie, with whom she had shared a House for years, but first impressions were sort of important, weren’t they?

Ame couldn’t help but give a chuckle when she said it was nice to meet him and used a title to refer to him. It was way more formal than anyone at Beauxbatons would address him, but then again, he had been there for 5 and a half years, they were all used to him. As much as he didn’t want to be here, at least he was the center of attention. She had even curtsied to him. He wondered if Lusie and Edmund got treated like this here. It didn't seem like it. “please no need for the formalities.” he said, faking humility. “Ame is fine.” he decided. penelope raisa bainbridge

After she had just addressed him more formally, Amedeo told her that there was no need for it. "Ame is fine," he said.
Penelope, still blushing, nodded her head. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, then, Ame," she corrected herself, pushing a stubborn piece of hair back out of her face. "I'm Penelope… but sometimes I'm called Penny," she said. Really, anything that her name could be shortened to, she had heard it at some point or another. "How do you like Hogwarts?" she asked him.

She corrected herself, which was also unnecessary and then introduced herself as Penelope, which she already knew since Lusie Windsor had introduced the two of them before running away from him. So he didn’t say anything else about her name, he just gave another nod as he scanned the crowd a bit, finding that Lusie and Edmund had both disappeared. “Hogwarts is fine. It’ll do to pass the time.” He admitted. He planned to be here for as little time as possible. May couldn’t come soon enough. “do you enjoy it here? What do you do for fun?” penelope raisa bainbridge
