Mac froze as his name was called out. He had been caught after all. Making his way through the crowd, he gulped and stood in front of the Ravenclaw prefect. Clinging to him was the familiar form of Charlotte, Yellow stood nearby, and the boy he recognized as the one who had led them all down here was also there. "H-hey, Gumball," Mac said.

"Hey, great, another one! This is easier than I expected-- Er... Just as easy as I expected." Marshall nodded, reassuring himself no one had heard the blunder [no, Gumball, shut up.]. So they had found a grand total of... three kids! Ten more to go.... Okay, that's not a lot, a lot.... We can totally handle this.
"Hey... uh... ... ... What was your name again?" He was sure all the first years had told him their names at the beginning, but he tuned them out. Their high pitched voices were beyond annoying and he really didn't care if their name was Bobby, Sue, or Whatever.

"It should be easy...You said the rest were by Zonko's," he said to Marshall, then once Mac was close enough he greeted him. "Mac! I'm glad we found you!" He wasn't about to scold any of the first years; Marshall could be convincing, and therefore he was going to be the only one in trouble.

Gumball's tone surprised Mac; he wasn't mad at him? It seemed the only one he was angry with was the Slytherin who had led them all here. Ok, he could live with that. "It's Mac," he said in reply. He shot a smile at Gumball, before looking back longingly at Tomes and Scrolls. He had really really really wanted a new book to bring back with him.

"Are you aware you're supposed to wait till your third year to come here?" he asked the younger boy. His tone was curious and maybe unintentionally condescending. After all, Mac was muggleborn-- it wasn't his fault if he slipped up from time to time.
"Charlotte, please let of me?" She was really hindering his range of movement.

Marshall nodded, once again, not really paying attention. "Right, Mac. .... Yeaaaah, I'll forget that. But nevermind. Do you know your way back to the school? 'Cause these two seem to be lost and Mr. Pinkie over there doesn't want to be a gentleman and take them back. Talk about rude, right?" He hadn't even finished his sentence before he was wondering off towards Zonko's. Better get the kids now rather than later. It was getting darker faster than he had expected... And if he arrived at the school with all the first years after dark... Well... The punishment was worse. Like... Way worse. Like... Comparing a needle prick to a shot in the stomach worse.

Mac shifted his feet and looked down at them. "Yes, I was aware," he replied, "I just let my curiosity get the best of me, I guess. Sorry. I promise I won't do it again!" He looked up at Gumball and then turned to the Slytherin. He pretty much expected that he wouldn't remember his name, and honestly, Mac didn't care if he did. "Yeah, I know how to get back. It was pretty easy to remember the way. Way too easy." He looked to Yellow and Charlotte. "Are you girls ready to go back?"

Yellow wasn't about to follow anyone but Marshall back, she wasn't sure if she liked either of the other boys and Marshall had been exceptionally nice to her. She started to follow him toward Zonko's, ignoring Charlotte, Gumball, and Mac.

Marshall turned around at the sound of little feet following him only to be presented with the little Hufflepuff first year. "Uh... What are you doing following me? Don't you need to be with them?" Marshall indicated somewhere near where he thought he had left Gumball and the other first years. He shrugged, not really caring either way, although Barnaby would be angry if he lost a first year... Well, another first year.
"Hey, what's your name, kid?" Maybe the name would help distinguish whether or not the little Hufflepuff was a guy or a girl...

"My name is Yellow. I want to follow you. You know your way around...s-so we won't get lost." She smiled and just kept following him, not really caring if gumball noticed or not. "Does it really matter if I come with you instead of them?"

Marshall smirked. "Well you definitely chose the better guy to go with. Come on, we're just going off a bit this way." Yellow... Hrm... That wasn't a name. No. That was color. And still not helpful to whether or not Yellow was a guy or a girl. Marshall looked back at the kid, worried about losing himherit in the crowd. No, first years weren't supposed to be lost. Not right after they had found them.
"Come on, kid, get on my back." Marshall crouched down to let Yellow climb up. It would be faster if he didn't have to keep track of the kid. Besides. He always wanted to give a piggy back to someone cause he was kind of really lacking in the siblings department.

Yellow climbed up on Marshall's back, smiling with excitement. Why had Charlotte been so annoyed with him?!? He's so nice!! "Thank you ummm...what's your name?"

Straightening up, he realized he never actually told Yellow his name. What a shame! Everyone usually knew his name [of course, because of infamy, but hey. That's still okay!]. But if anyone didn't know his name, it was probably a first year. Marshall shifted the weight so carrying Yellow would be easier.
"Name's Marshall. Well... Technically Marshall Lee, but whatever, you know? No one actually calls me that... Unless Barnaby thinks I did something 'stupid'" Marshall grinned, remembering all the wonderful pranks he had pulled which had cause that name to be used.

"Oh....well hello Marshall! I hope we can be friends!" She was cheerful, she had made a new friend today! And it wasn't even that long into the school year!

Not bothering to respond, Marshall continued to make his way to Zonko's, leaving Gumball and the rest far behind. He opened the door with about as much flourish as well... flourish...ful? things. Yeah. That was it. Flourishful things! Anyway, right. He opened the door.
"Listen up! I'm looking for all first years!" Marshall bellowed into the store, causing multitudes of people to turn and stare. "I know you're in here, so give it up, it's time to go!"
