SPOILER!!: All of you arriving Quote:

She wanted to ask what they were doing today, and what the little creatures were. Surely they weren't just animated potatoes. This was care of magical creatures, not care of charmed vegetables. But she figured that she would wait a few minutes for the rest of the class to arrive, and all would be explained then. " Hello, Miss Jensen." He greeted back. Quote:

THEEERE he was!
"Hi Professor, Sir!" The first year greeted grinning. Nope. He did not know your name Professor, and he was not about to have another mistake like when called Culloden Cupboardbin, so you would just be SIR. Taking a seat on the grass he tried to peak over to see what exactly was behind the fence. " Good morning, Mr. Scabior." It was nice that his roster told him who was who. Quote:

This Ravenclaw definitely wanted to be welcomed back next summer, so there she was in a long-sleeved shirt and pants with dragon-hide gloves shoved in her bag, approaching the Barnyard... only to see no one there. Hm.
Well.
She meandered around the back of it out of curiosity and was relieved to see the professor there. Good. She beamed upon seeing him, recalling the fun she and Toby had with him over the summer, and chimed, "Nice to see you again, professor. Glad to finally be taking your class." She wasn't really glad about the subject, but she WAS pretty psyched to have Thompson as a teacher.
And at least it would be an easy O on her OWLs, she figured. " It's nice to see you again as well, Miss Brown." Javy smiled kindly at her. Quote:

Glad that he had not gotten his directions mixed up, Cris walked over to the Professor and greeted him with a smile. "Hello Professor Thompson. Isn't it a great day to be outdoors?" Cris asked the Professor but even before the Professor could reply, he noticed movement from the corner of his eye.
Glancing over into the garden, he noticed what looked like potato heads running around. It took him only two seconds for him to realize what he was seeing. Garden gnomes. He was familiar with them, having helped degnome his mother's vegetable garden on many occasions.
"Are those Garden Gnomes, Professor? Will we be working with them today?" Cris turned to ask the Professor. " Good morning. It certainly is Mr. Strand." A little nippy, but the sunlight countered it for the most part. At that question however, Javy smiled. " You'll see." Quote:

He lingered around long enough for a response and then walked towards the other early arrivals. Noticing that one boy was already sitting on the grassy area, Zander decided to join in. Thankfully he was a little early and would have plenty of time to catch his breath. " Hello Mr. Adair, I'm doing quite fine thank you." He didn't have to ask this polite boy on how he was. Flicking his wand at his throat to clear the airway so he could breathe better. Last thing he needed was to send someone to the Wing before class even started. Quote:

The boy who practically dragged himself out of bed to get here. No way was he missing CoMC for anything. Even if it meant losing a bit more sleep because Jun was just being completely lazy today. Walking onto the barnyard, there were no signs.. Weird. Jun kept walking and noticed the professor standing in front of a gate. And behind that was tall grass and trees. What was this? Another thing like in his defense against the dark arts OWL? Which he still was traumatized over.
"Hello professor," he greeted Thompson and waited for class to start. But Jun could not stop staring at the grass and trees. Still weird. " Morning Mr. Kim." Quote:

Which meant he could be writing music, practicing, looking in his mirror. Literally everything else sounded better then class.
Least it was outside, yeah?
He joined the few of his peers who were already there and remained silent. Class had started, which meant Ascanius probably wouldn't say another word until class was dismissed.
Not even the Professor got acknowledged. The quiet ones were bound to arrive sooner or later. Quote:
Originally Posted by Ringo Dylan made his way to the barnyard and noticed the professor standing there, waiting for everyone. Well, he had thought he would get lost trying to find the place but turned out it was quite easy, thankfully. "Morning Professor!" he said with a cheerful smile and wave as he passed him by. He then stood there, playing with the ends of his Hufflepuff scarf as he waited for the lesson to begin. Hehehe. Fun. " Good morning, Mr. Callaghan." Quote:
Originally Posted by Deezerz This was the lesson she's been looking forward to. Other than potions and charms, this was her next best subject. Spotting the professor, Beverly shot him a shy wave of her hand. "Good day, Professor Thompson," accompanied by timid grin.
Now, what was that behind him? Rising on her toes, Beverly's curious gaze roamed the garden. Did he have an infestation? Did he need help? She just had the best meal, so she was full of energy and ready to go. " Good day.." Smiling gently at her. Quote:

Because Hogwarts’ so huge compared to his old school, the panting sound that Ethan made was quite obvious since he ran all the way from the other side to the Barn Yard. Maybe next time he should use his skateboard to get to CoMC class. Oh and also, he had to go back to his dorm to change since it was in the noticeboard that he needed to be in a long-sleeved shirt. Heh. If only someone would teach him to properly transfigure his clothing. He didn’t want to end up wearing a teeny-tiny shirt now, yeah? Getting embarrassed during his first few days in school wasn’t exactly his idea, so the safest route was to take a second trip back to his dorm, change and get back to the back of the Barnyard.
Anyway, Ethan looked ahead as soon as he realized that he was actually early for class. Hu-zah. He joined the others and greeted the man, who is their professor. “Good day, sir.” Smiles for you adult person, because today is going to be a great day " Indeed it is a good day, Mr. Mordaunt." Quote:
Originally Posted by Squishy Care of Magical Creatures was always a fun class, because it involved awesome animals and activities. So of course Lux was rather excited as she made her way over to where the lesson was being held.
Glancing around her, she knew right away what this lesson was about. This could be interesting, she supposed. "Hello, Professor Thompson. How are you today?" After sending him a smile, she noticed both Cris and Dylan were there as well. "Hey, guys!" Now where was Bay? Lux hoped that her boyfriend would arrive soon. " Hello Miss Carrington. I'm doing splendid, thank you for asking." Smiling gently. Quote:
Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 Jasmine was looking forward to her first Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts.

Arriving at the barnyard Jasmine saw the professor and went over to greet him. "Hello Professor Thompson. My name is Jasmine Guidry. I just transferred here from Beauxbatons and I'm excited to be in your class."
Moving on, Jasmine noticed that both Cris and Lux had already arrived. Walking over to them, she cheerfully said, "Hello there". Glad to have found her friends, Jasmine waited for class to begin. Ah, a Beauxbatons transfer. " Bonjour Miss Guidry, and welcome to Hogwarts." Quote:
Originally Posted by Waddles Kate was a bit bewildered when she came to this class. Magical creatures… like what? Surely there couldn't be a whole lot of magical creatures for them to study. Muggles would've noticed, right? But still, she was curious. Hopefully magical creatures didn't just mean cats. She would leave if it meant cats.
She glanced around at the other students and noticed a couple of students were sitting down, Kate walked over and sat next to them. Well, it's better than sitting in desks. Maybe they'd get to do something fun. Kate smiled to herself and propped her elbows up on her knees while she waited for class to start. Another quiet one, not that he minded. It was early yet, after all. Quote:
Originally Posted by SweetPeea Josie made her way around the back of the Barnyard when she had seen Professor Thompson, so it had sort of made sense to the twelve year old; to the head to back of the Barnyard. Also because everyone else had been doing so, so it only made more sense to follow everyone else's lead. Right? Right.
As she neared the Professor, she gave a polite wave which was followed by a shaky, "G-Good m-morning Professor.." The brunette cleared her throat before giving another small smile, then hastily turned on her heels to go and find a seat of some sort as she waited for the lesson to begin.
" Good morning." Gently smiling, the poor girl was either shy or freezing. Quote:

But he was here at least, so the professor should be glad about that. With his arms folded tightly across his chest, Theo made his way to where the professor was stood and had a little peek at what was over the fence. Grass and trees. Yay. "Morning, sir." Speaking of freezing. " Morning, and congratulations on your new position Mr. Kinsley." Yes, he noticed the badges. Quote:
Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel walked into the classroom, she was wanting to see what magical creatures there were, being a non-magical kid she had never seen them before and surely if there were loads they would have seen them, like dinosaurs she knew they were extinct but were tall and amazing when they roamed the earth.
"Hi Professor." Angel smiled, now if only her sister Aubrey was here they could confused the poor Professor. And now she came to think about it she hadn't seen her sister Abby for ages, she would have to catch up with her later. " Hello Miss Valentine." Recognising her from when she visited his office. Though she looked a little different this time.. Oh well. Quote:
Originally Posted by Lislchen Olly was here too.
The professor got a nod in greeting. After a quick glance around Olly had to realize that no one interesting was there yet. Maybe Ascanius. But he wasn't interesting enough for her to walk over to where he was standing. Instead, she just remained standing where she was. He got a nod too, though.
Grass. Huh. It didn't look like there was anything else there. While quiet, this older student did have it in her to acknowledge him. Curtly nodding back in her direction. Quote:

He looked around the garden taking in the tall grasses and the trees and the smell of dump mud. Everything was so amazing. As he was looking at the beautiful trees and the scenery his eyes wide open at what he just saw. Rubbing he eyes he looked again and there was nothing, but he knew there definitely was something. Then there was another hop from something looking like a potato or what he thought looked like a potato. He knew then maybe that is something they were going to learn about in today’s class. Trying to get his attention in class he glanced at the professor and greeting him “Hello Professor. I’m the new Gryffindor. Nick Tatum” then he realized why would he say something like I’m new wasn’t that obvious? Firsties, excitable bunch. Amused at this, " Hello Mr. Tatum and welcome." Quote:

Oh wait, the only person he did 'know' was Bart and he had left him!
He pretended like he didn't see the Professor and ignored him. Instead, his gaze was towards the tall grass as he had just seen something pop up from it. What had that been? Hmm.. Javy heard about this one's reputation. So far so good. Quote:

A bit disappointed, the second year walked to the back of the barnyard and greeted, "Hello professor." and made sure that he noticed the long-sleeve tops she was wearing, along with her leggings. She really paid attention to the notice. Then Leah bounced to her honorary sister Angel and stopped right in front of her. "Hi hi, Angel. How're ya doing?"
" Hello Miss Abbott." Quote:

Ah, there was Professor Facial Hair 2.0. He would not come up with anything better. So..yeah. Even taking his time getting here. It was pretty easy to see something move through the grass. Potato.....Please not garden gnomes. Other than chucking them out of orbit. They were not fun.
"Hey. Professor Thompson. Visit any good joke shops recently?" " Good day, Mr. Barrington. I'm afraid not, though that could change momentarily." Yes, perhaps another trip in Hogsmeade would suffice, especially if this Prefect was going to 'patrol' there. Quote:
Originally Posted by MissMUDBL00D Awesome. Donny skipped down to class while humming to himself. Could you tell he was excited?? Outside classes were the best. Would they be gardening? Because that didn't sound exciting, not at all.
The things looked like potatoes, but Donny doubted that's what they would taste like. He hadn't ever seen potatoes run around either. Donny shrugged, maybe it wouldn't be gardening-related after all.
Oh, right. Professor. Donnacha skipped over and beamed up at the man. "Hiya, professor.......!" What was his name again? Professor Professor would do for now. " Good morning Mr. Harper." Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 His favourite class of all time! Adi happily made his way towards the Barnyard. He could hardly wait for the class to get started. Arriving at the barnyard, he made his way towards the back where he could see some of the students had gathered.
Going towards the garden, Adi grinned brightly. "Hello, Professor! Hope all's well with you.'' He went off to stand by himself, waving to his friends as he passed them. " Thank you Mr. Rehman, I wish the same on you." Because an unwell student really would put a dapper on the lessons. Quote:
Originally Posted by Grrr..Meow Bay made his way down to his next class which was Care of Magical Creatures, it was one of his favourite classes because it was outside. Nothing wrong with wanting to soak up some ray's. The only time it wasn't as much fun was when it was raining… the snow he didn't mind.
Spotting the professor he said his hello's "Hi Professor Thompson" he smiled at the man and now it was time to go find some friends to hang with until the lesson started. " Hello Mr. Bay." Smiling back. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Well...classes were officially underway, now weren't they? Sophie had enjoyed that calmness in the beginning of the year when everything was just starting up.

Care of Magical Creatures was starting, which meant Sophie was headed out to the grounds for this next class.
Looking around, she spotted the professor behind the barnyard and walked over. "Hello, Professor Thompson," she said. Sooo nothing to do now but just wait for class to start. " Good day Miss Newell." Quote:
Originally Posted by Sararara Norah skipped through the garden until she saw a group of students clustered in one spot. Aha! This must be the class. She hummed to herself as she approached it, standing on her tiptoes to see what they were surrounding, but the two inches of height she gained through this did nothing against the height of the older students. She ducked under someone's arm and saw a professor sitting there. She had no idea what his name was, but she flounced up to him and waved. "Hello, professor! She grinned. "I'm Norah. Norah Kittredge."
She beamed at him once more and turned to look at the other students, disappointed by the lack of familiar faces. She couldn't wait for this class to start! She took a deep breath of the crisp air and turned her face up to the sun. Ahh, it was nice to be outside. Smiling at the first year, " Hello Miss Kittredge." Hm, if Javy didn't know any better he'd assume she was related to his friend Leo. Likely just a coincidence. Quote:
Originally Posted by ScarletCharm104 Marigold happily skipped in to an OUTDOORS class. More classes should be OUTDOORS, yep. She had the start of a cold coming on, so her breathing sounded a bit sniffly, but she was smiling as the cold air hit her face. "Hi, professor!" she said, beaming. Looking around, she went to go sit towards the front. It was creatures, come on, who didn't want to be in front with creatures? " Hello Miss McAlistor," Quote:
Originally Posted by the fastest seeker She was excite for this class. Something she only felt before only two subjects. Not that she loathed the other ones, since no more herbology, but it was that she knew she was going to be talking about and learning about something she liked. Creatures! And Professor Thompson was a nice man who knew how to keep his students interested and keep them from dozing off.
Packing the textbooks and notebooks she needed for the classes, Cassia set off towards the grounds. She enjoyed the walk there, since it wasn't cold yet. Feeling energetic like she did, she found herself by the Barnyarn in no time.
She wasn't among the first ones to come but it seemed that she wasn't the last either. Good. "Good day, Professor Thompson," she smiled at the handsome professor before looking around to find a place to sit. " Hello Miss Somerlad, and congratulations on your new position." Last term was Hufflepuff as Heads and this year Slytherins.. lovely pattern going on. Quote:
Originally Posted by Cedric SOMEONE was excited to be here.
As in that girl in front of Schuyler who was literally skipping her way along to the back of the barn. While beaming. The Gryffindor was pleased to be here as well, just wasn't quite so enthusiastic, so she continued her way by walking.
She rounded the side of the barn. "Hi, Professor," was her short greeting as she passed. And Schuyler didn't stop until she got to Olly and planted a kiss hello on her cheek. Hello. " HelloMiss Emmons." Curtly nodding as she passed by. Quote:
Originally Posted by Danielle_Daughn Mack quickly hurried along the path to go to the barn yard.. She didn't want to be late for class..

The blonde slowly paced the back of the fenced area to decide where to sit, she had briefly spoken to one if the boys already here during the feast but to be honest she didn't remember his name. Finally she decided on a spot close to the front on the right hand side.
As she sat on her knees she smiled, "Good Morning Professor" " Good morning Miss Jones." Quote:
Originally Posted by aaetha Contrary to popular belief, Adrienne did actually have the ability to enjoy things, and one of those things was Care of Magical Creatures.

Also, everything that they did had practical application, from knowing where it is your wand came from to how to avoid being eaten by a dragon in case you stumbled upon one.
"Bonjour, Professor," she said cheerily as she chose a nice place in the grass to sit down, taking off her cloak to place underneath just in case it was wet and taking out her book to hopefully read a few pages before class began. " Bonjour Miss Colbert." Quote:

She glanced around the already gathered group, wiggling her fingers at Schuyler and Soph before grinning in the Professor's direction, "Good day to you, sir." And your facial hair, of course. Hehehe. Ah, it was the President of his best mate's fan club. " Good day to you Miss Moretti." Quote:
Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo Considering she wasn't late and all there wasn't really any rush in getting to this class. Nah. Not like it was Defense Against the Dark Arts or Astronomy.

And there was the Professor, proof they had brains somewhere.
Lex stopped by Cassia, giving Jun a smile, then looked curiously at the fenced garden with funny little things running around. Was she meant to know what they were? The girl didn't make a habit of studying creatures that weren't of the dark variety. Sue. her.
"G'morning Professor. Are we having a joint class with Herbology this lesson?" She asked, taking a glance around for her Head of House. They'd done a couple last term and were now standing before a garden with tall grass and trees. What else was she meant to think? " Morning Miss Cambridge." Joint class with Herbology? " Good question, but it won't be happening today." Quote:

The boy knew that he was meant to be at a Care of Magical Creatures lesson and that it was meant to be somewhere around these parts but where exactly the lesson was taking place, he didn't know. He had even meandered somewhere near the Herbology greenhouses before deciding to head back to the Great Hall and follow someone who was heading out. This level of blind trust was dangerous; he couldn't just trust anyone, you know?
All hope had been lost -- and he'd even thought about bunking the class-- until a saviour came in the form of the Head Girl and the fourteen year old had decided to oh-so-casually follow her. This wasn't creepy, mkay? He was lost. He needed someone he could sort of trust. Besides, she wouldn't lead him astray, would she? The girl seemed nice enough from their brief encounter at the feast.
Oh look! She hadn't. There was an older man there, someone whom she had said to be the Professor? Oh jeez, did he have to introduce himself? Tell the class his name and age and what he liked to do on a bright summer's day? Please say no. Those things were boring and tedious and nobody cared.
"Hello Professor," he said, coming to a stop and giving the man a nod. There. That was all. " Hello Mr. Whitlock," Curtly nodding at him. Quote:
Originally Posted by Chiara Lucy walked through the garden when she saw a professor and the other students..

Then she went to find a place to sit down.. " Good morning Miss Petersfield." It was nice that majority of the newer students were introducing themselves. Quote:

It was about animals but not just any animals. Magical creatures which were better than most muggle animals except pandas. Pandas were the best animal ever, magical or muggle. Emmylou followed the signs to a barnyard and then she saw a man that had to be the professor. Emmylou gave the man a wave and a shy. "Hello." " Good day, Miss Duchannes" Quote:

He snuck up behind her and hugged her, then sat down next to her.
Then he saw the professor was there, he nodded towards him and said, "Good morning Professor." He had to be polite ya know? " Hello Mr. Lecium." Quote:

The movement's cause mostly concealed by the foliage."Good morning Professor," he greeted the man before making note of his fellow students already there. Adi was a given since it was his beastie's fav class. Among the others he spotted Angel as well.
" Good morning Mr. Atreyu." Nodding towards him. Quote:

He knew what THOSE were.
He'd had to help his dad get rid of them in their own garden once. It hadn't been TOOOO bad, and it'd only taken them about an hour to get them all clear of the plants, but he'd gotten bit and he was NOT happy about the prospect of that possibly happening again. While this was quiet, Javy could tell his attention was more on the scenery behind him. Perfectly understandable. Quote:

Wait...
"Gnomes?" she asked, glancing at him. Did he know? She couldn't get a proper look, but she was willing to bet the sickles she had in her pocket that they were. Sigh. What a unique greeting, instead smiling a little. " Certainly looks like it." He knew his students would pick up on things quickly.
" Morning class. It's good to see you all found your way here." Javy looked at everyone to make sure their attention was fully focused. " For those of you who don't know, Welcome, I'm Professor Thompson and for the rest of you welcome back." Just to bring up from last term. " Since we have our full mobility and youth again we'll be taking advantage of it this year."
Now what were they doing today? " As some of you have already figured out we will be working with the Gnomes today." Now the real intro, " Also known as Garden Gnomes because of others finding them a nuisance in their gardens. Unlike the muggle version which always remains its statue form as a decoration. Can anyone share another fact they know of the Gnomes?"
--- OOC: No more arrival posts from here on, simply pretend they were already there from here on. Make sure to only post one fact if your character knows of them. =)
