Cosgrach looked up from his ~~misery~~ table and at the first student to enter the classroom.

"Hello, child," he said absent mindedly as his eyes eagerly examined her. Did she... was she one of them? The people to keep clear of no matter what? Though she didn't look that old... Cosgrach was determined to keep clear of everyone these days, until teenagers looked lie teenagers.

It was still early so the first year with gray hair and even a stubble beard placed his head on the desk and closed his eyes.

A little nap before class started hurted no one.

Cosgrach recognised the boy as soon as he appeared as if he had smelt him, and his eyes narrowed at his--HALDJAL HE WAS ONE OF THEM!!! THE OLD LOT!!! Cosgrach's face hardened and it took all his will not to groan back. He had to keep VERY clear of him now.

Merlin! What was wrong with them?!

"Hello Professor," she said, offering the man a smile. She remembered how fun the last class had been and despite her achyness, she wanted to at least try to be her normal cheerful self.

She moved on to find a seat, sitting close to Ana as she offered the girl a smile and wave. She, of course, had also saved seats for Sander, Lux, Bay, Adi, and anyone else from their group that wanted to join them.

Cosgrach noted the hygiene she was showing, and he nodded approvingly. What was her name, again? Tesla? Had to be that. Tesla. Like the muggle inventor. Had her parents knew the guy?

"Morning," he greeted back in an almost worried tone and frowned when the girl saved seats. That was a no-no. Everyone had a fair chance with come-first-sit-first rule, so he opened his mouth to remind her that--

--ANOTHER one appeared!

Cosgrach forgot that he had to warn the girl as he ~~fearfully~~ curiously watched the boy take a seat beside... Tessa, did he say? Yeah. So her parents probably didn't know Tesla after all. Hmm.

He nodded at the boy as he sat, and turned his attention to the door once again.

He heard the creaking noise first, then saw Ms. Head Girl who enjoyed pieing people. But--but--she too?! Cosgrach forgot all about the pie incident and just STARED at the wrinkles under her eyes. He was so intently examining her that his brain registered her greeting late, and by the time he wanted to greet her back, another student had already walked in. Didn't matter. He wanted to make as little contact as with that kind anyway.

Eyes watching that lot carefully, oh yes.

Well, at least this one was normal. Cosgrach didn't mind greeting her back with a "Morning, young lady," as his eyes trailed her to see where she sat. Oh, he wanted to know the answer to that question. Was Ella okay, really?

...he couldn't hear her answer. Shame. Then he remembered he didn't like her to care her anyway.

Pieing. So, so wrong.

"Morning."

......had she... yawned? At his class? Really?

Cosgrach frowned to himself, crossed his arms and went on to greet the next student.

Squinting as he looked around he noticed the professor and smiled. "Hello Professor" He nodded his bearded face and rubbed his balding head. "Anything cool like last time planned for us today?"

......what was Bart doing? The slippers? Really? Cosgrach frowned and ignored the greeting.

"Do explain me the slippers, please, Mr. Bart." Please. He was curious, and he wasn't answering any questions of his before he got a satifying answer.

....and...how he too was an elderly now.

Disturbing. Not cool. Cosgrach didn't like that.

Ms. Fern Quimbley.

Right.

Cosgrach eyed the girl, although she chosed not to make an eye-contact with him, and said "Welcome to the class, Ms. Quimbley." Really, though. If he was her, he wouldn't have showed up--mandatory class or not. Lucky for her, he couldn't examine her for long as another student came in, and was pleased she chose the seat at the very back. That way, he wouldn't need to see her all the time.

Cosgrach sighed dramatically to himself. What was wrong with them? Really? Was the water poisoned or what?

"Hello," he grunted in dismay. He remembered the enegry of the boy in his first class--and now he was a completely different person.

Ugh. Maybe he should have thought twice before applying here.

"Oh and by the way, do you have a potion to combat premature aging?" She said motioning to the students around. "Its starting to look like Hogwarts Nursing home for witchcraft and wizardry"

.....make mistakes? WHAT mistakes? Cosgrach frowned in dismay and hurried to shake his head.

"You, succeed." It was an order. "That is what we will work on." At least some part of it. He didn't smile at her joke, though. If anything, he looked more stressed. As a professor, he failed to see much humour in it. Hopefully, it would be fixed soon.

Heyyyy, his favourite student walked in! Cosgrach looked relieved with her appearance, and he returned the smile as well as he could given the circumstances. He was glad she sat right in front of him, so that he could keep a better eye on her.

"Hello," he greeted back and watched her for a moment, caught the nod, looked stressed, then approved deeply when she started cleaning everything.

"Neat." Hehe.

Cosgrach frowned again, sighed and eyed them taking a seat. The door side was definitely the most popular today and he could--alarmingly--see why. "Good morning," he simply greeted as he asked himself once again what might be the cause of it.

Toby too?

Cosgrach sighed for the umpteenth time that day and waved at the boy. He suddenly felt too tired to open his mouth. His head was on the verge of throbbing.

.....no. "Toby, please." He gave the boy a stern look. It wasn't his place to warn the girl (Sarah), no matter how... terrible the situation was. Cosgrach was right there, and he would warn her if he thought it necessary. He didn't want arguing students at his class.

Quote:

It felt nice someone other than Sophie B. cared him enough to notice and ask that, and Cosgrach nodded in response. He was basically lying, but he didn't want to alarm anyone. They probably had enough to worry, anyway. So a simple nod to indicate everything was fine, and it was that.

Did... something smell in here? Cosgrach frowned his deepest as he smelt around the room like a rabbit with this terribly disgusted expression on his face. Something indeed smelt in here. He wanted to vomit. He didn't even hear the greeting. He just...

WHY was this class the only one that didn't have windows?!

Quote:

The smell wasn't fully gone, but at least it wasn't as disturbing, so he waved at the boy and said an automatic "Hello, I'm fine, thanks, you?" No, really, though. He was glad the boy asked him how he was. Cosgrach definitely noted his face.

Quote:

But what if this was a student rebellion? Because, surely not everyone could have gone grey, wrinkly and slow in a day? Cosgrach sighed. He didn't know. He was, however, going to try to cure it.

"Morning, son," he said simply. He didn't try to return the smile or anything. He didn't feel like smiling.

And two Slytherin boys. They reminded Cosgrach of his childhood, but not really. He never had one single thread of grey hair until he was 30. These, though... especially the first one.

"Morning, boys," he greeted them back without smiles or anything. He was trying to stay away from any old person, because he was ~~old enough~~ not interested in looking old at all.

What was Head Boy staring at? Why? Cosgrach wondered why the rubbish bin was so much of an interest, but he didn't ask and simply said "Good morning, Head Boy." Only Sophie could elicit a smile from him that day. The rest had to try harder to make him smile.

Quote:

Students still cared him, after all.

"I'm fine love, thank you. How are you?" He smiled, albeit cordially. It felt nice. Truly.

Professor Culloden was listening.

And he wasn't pleased.

"Sleep, and you will be the first person to serve a detention with me." Simple as that.

Any objections?

Quote:

Students noted the washbasin and rubbish bin too.

Good, good.

"I'm fine, dear, you?" As much as he wanted to smile at her, he couldn't. His mind was still on that boy and how much he meant about 'sleeping'. Hmm. The Professor would make sure no one would sleep that day.

Quote:

"Hello there, m'child." Cosgrach forced himself to smile, because he noticed she was a shy one and smiles did wonders with that kind. Just to show he wouldn't eat her or anything, even though she was an elderly too and Cosgrach had decided to keep his distance with them.

Quote:

Cosgrach wasn't going to lie--he was relieved when the boy didn't greet him. Because that meant they wouldn't get overly friendly, and that the real elder man could keep the distance to eliminate the chances of getting older than he already was.

Yeah. He simply waved and moved onto the next student.

Quote:

Well, she did. Make him slightly happier than 10 minutes ago. Cosgrach liked cheerful people, and she looked like she was one, so he smiled back and said "Morning."

Maybe... it wasn't so terrible? Whatever 'it' was.

Someone was still a teenager and cheerful, eh? Cosgrach was relieved to see Mr. Odessa was still pretty much intact. He nodded at him, even though the boy didn't bother to acknowledge him.

Quote:

"Hello back, son," Cosgrach greeted--lacking some enthusiasm, because this one was another elderly.

Sigh, sigh, sigh.

He hoped they were going to be half-cured today for a considerable amount of time.

Oh, he thought so? Cosgrach smiled absent-mindedly, but it was a smile nevertheless.

"Thank you for the compliment." His day had just begun, and it had been going bad so far, so he didn't say anything about that.

He checked his watch. Only two minutes left...

Cosgrach got up from his seat to close the door after letting in the last students. So, Alexa Cambridge dared making an appearance too. He pursed his lips but didn't say anything, nor did he note the overly-polite voice. He simply said "Morning," for the sake of the little girl beside her, nodded at them, looked out to see if there was anyone else coming...

What an honour.

Cosgrach snorted to himself, let him step inside and closed the door. The boy didn't even greet him. Weird. Disturbing. But he wasn't going to think about it too much. Instead...

...he turned to the class with the stressed look still on his face.

"Good morning everyone," he greeted them without a smile. "Today, we will work on... your wrinkles." He tried his best not to make a face. It was pretty concerning, though. He hoped they would be relieved to hear that the wrinkles would be gone for a while with this potion.

"Before brewing, I have two questions." He paused, took a deep breath, and went on: "How do you think a wrinkle forms on the skin? How can we make the skin smooth again?"

OOC: The lesson has officially started now, so please do not post your characters late. Just pretend they have been there all along.

If you are going to name a potions ingredient for the second question, please name only one. Thanks!

Cosgrach smiled absent-mindedly, but it was a smile nevertheless. "Thank you for the compliment." His day had just begun, and it had been going bad so far, so he didn't say anything about that.

Cosgrach got up from his seat to close the door after letting in the last students. So, Alexa Cambridge dared making an appearance too. He pursed his lips but didn't say anything, nor did he note the overly-polite voice. He simply said "Morning," for the sake of the little girl beside her, nodded at them, looked out to see if there was anyone else coming...
