SPOILER!!: The greetings Quote:

It was cold. Usually that never really posed a problem for Toby, being that he was generally so bouncy and always in motion and could warm himself up pretty quick. But today he arrived at the barnyard in an oversized jacket on over his uniform (his robes had been stuffed into his schoolbag earlier that day), half his face hidden by the the too-big coat. Seeing Thompson, Toby headed on over, his fidgety fingers all the while fiddling with his Hufflepuff scarf.
"Hi sir," Tobias said, voice kind of muffled from the coat and scarf combo, as gave the professor a nod in greeting. And then he simply stood there. Waiting and absent-mindedly fidgeting and being quiet and maybe fantasising just a little bit going to find Monty the Hippogriff and making a bid for freedom with him. The daydream kept him pretty occupied, so that eventually he was just sort of staring into space with a sort of wistful expression on his face, already quite distracted. " Good day.." Giving a small nod and smile towards his first arrival. Quote:

Grin in place, and hands deep in his robes pockets, Zeke arrived at the barnyard to see Professor Thompson standing outside - eating a tomato no less. And Puffer-dude-Toby!... he got a wave. HI.
"Hey, Professor! Wassup?" he greeted, pausing just short of him. They had to wait yes? They couldn't just waltz in and play with whatever was there, right? RIGHT?... ahem. An eyebrow raised for this one greeting. " Hello, Mr. Zeke Rogers." More out of amusement of course. Quote:

Making her way towards her creatures lesson she pulled a hair tie from one of her pockets before pulling her hair back off her face and into a high half ponytail. Making sure it was tight first she then fixed the flower in her hair through the hair tie to insure it wouldn't fall out. There perfect.
Totally ready now for class she quickened her steps smiling as she got to where she needed to be. Spotting the Professor at the gates she waved. "Hello, Professor Thompson" Hady greeted cheerfully. What would they be learning about today? Woud they get to work with something really cool again? " Good day, Miss Lynch." Quote:

"Hello, Professor Thompson, How are you today?" Angel smiled politely at the Professor, she totally couldn't wait to see what they would be learning today, she hoped it would be something cool. " Hello Miss Valentine. I'm doing quite fine." He returned the smile before continuing his snack. Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Adi happily and excitedly made his way to the barnyard, very much not bothered by the chill. He was dressed for it anyway but Care of Magical Creatures! Woot! Eh... where were those signs? Adi had hardly wondered that when he spotted Professor Thompson leaning against the wall. "Hello, Professor,'' the Hufflepuff said with a grin. Could they get started soon? Could they? COULD THEY?  It was quite unlike him to be this impatient. Oh looky! Classmates! Tobias, Zeke and Hady all got a wave from him. As for Angel, she got her big brother as he went to stand next to her. "Hi, Angelfish.'' " Good day Rehman" This one had a little pep in him it looked like. That was good. Quote:
Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 Janelle was so excited for Care of Magical Creatures Class that she ran almost the whole way to he barnyard. When she arrived she gave a cheerful greeting to the man in charge. "Hello Professor", she said with a smile. She continued on, wondering what type of animals they would get to work with today.
Then Janelle noted that she had achieved her goal of being one of the first students in class. Seeing Angel or at least she hoped it was Angel this time, Janelle walked toward her. "Hi there", she said to her former partner. "How's it going." Angel had been nice enough to partner with her in Muggle Studies and Janelle had really enjoyed thes class. Then she looked around to see if any of her other friends had arrived yet. Oh and there was Adi. Janelle gave him an enthusiastic wave. Siblings. " Hello Miss Guidry." That part gave it away as he nodded politely at her. Quote:

Despite the chill in the air as he stepped out of doors, Benny was excited about the lesson of course. No doubt whatever was to be happening would make up for being outside in it, he mused to himself as he absently pulled his scarf tighter. Crossing the grounds to the familiar barnyard, the Gryffindor spotted not only his friends but the professor himself already there in place. "Good morning, Professor," he greeted with a polite nod of acknowledgement.
The fifth year then made his way over to Adi and Angel with a small smile. "Hey guys." Surely the Hufflepuff felt the same way he did as they waited. " Good morning, Mr. Atreyu." Quote:
Originally Posted by Squishy Lux always liked Care of Magical Creatures, so she was eager to see what they would be learning about today. Hopefully it would be fun!
Dressed warmly, she made her way to the barnyard, curious as to why there were no signs. But look, it was Professor Thompson eating a tomato. "Hello, Professor!" Big grin.
A few people had arrived, and she waved to Toby, Zeke, Adi, Angel, Hady, and Benny. The Ravenclaw girl (Janelle) Lux did not know got a friendly wave too. "Hello, guys!"
Wishing Bay was there too - like always - she waited for the lesson to begin. " Hello Miss Carrington." He returned the smile, though not quite as large. In case his teeth became stained from the tomato after all. Quote:
Originally Posted by Deezerz Despite the chilly weather, Beverly made her way down to Care of Magical Creatures without a groan or a wiggle of her nose. There was no way she was going to miss it.

Pausing briefly to greet the professor, her words got sort of stuck on her throat. Tomato. Number three on her enemy's list; unexpected is what it was. Quickly recovering, she grinned a small grin. "Good day, Professor Thompson." It was nice to see he was still here. New faces weren't easy to get accustom to.
There were a few familiar faces here already. She shot Aditya and Janelle a friendly wave and went to wait next to a tiny Slytherin (Hady). She seemed like a cheerful one and Beverly needed all the cheer in her life. "Hello, there." " A good day to you, Miss Wayne." Quote:
Originally Posted by PhoenixStar Creatures time. This was one class that she wouldn't be getting to on time by the skin of her teeth. Her whole walk down here she thought of nothing more than unicorns. The professor had pretty much promised her last year that they would be present sooner or later. And it was later.
As she made her way over to where the class was going to be held, she noticed the professor was gnawing on a tomato. Who did that? A chocolate frog, sure, but a tomato! Gag! "Hello, professor." No judgements here. You eat that fruit that should really be a vegetable. Liessss.
As she walked further over to the students that were already gathered there, AJ saw that she was the last one of the gang to get there. Figures. Even if she wasn't running completely behind, she hardly ever beat them anywhere. "Hey," she said to everyone, but stood closer to her boyfriend. " Hello Miss Valentine." Quote:

That was an odd snack choice.
"Hello Professor," the prefect said with a polite smile as he entered class. Curtly nodding, " Mr. Newell." Nearly done with the juicy tomato by now. Quote:

Amur had practically run all the way down from floor seven to the barnyard. There was no way she would miss this class. By all those gathered already, it seemed like she wasn't the only one eager for the lesson.
Coming to a halt at the side of the group, Amur grinned widely even as she worked to catch her breath. "Hi Professor."
She peered around, hopeful to see some sign of what they might be getting up to today. " Good day, Miss Neverwinter." Quote:
Originally Posted by Hey Ju Agatha didn't mind Care of Magical Creatures so much because they got to do practical stuff and she liked those. At least in this lesson the practical part didn't always involve stupid spells she couldn't perform.
"Hello." She greeted professor Thompson and walked past him, going straight to where Beverly was. The girl was standing near a smaller Slytherin (Hady), which Agatha didn't mind either. "Hi." " Miss Hapgood." He nodded at her. Quote:
Originally Posted by Expecto-Penguin Care of Magical Creatures time. He actually liked this class because it was interesting to see how many creatures were there in the wizarding world. As he made his way down to the grounds, he noticed a few students were already there. He even noticed a slight chill in the air but the sun was making him warm. It was a great day to be outside. He smelt the fresh air and then he noticed the Professor was standing there.
He waved to him and said, "Hello Professor. Got something interesting to show us today?" He was curious to know what they were learning today. As he greeted the teach, he sat down and waited for everyone else to come. Nodding towards the student, " Good day.. That depends on your definition of "interesting" Mr. Lecium." Since quite a few liked the illegal ones. Almost as much as he did. " You'll be seeing something different though for certain." Quote:
Originally Posted by DuckyLinJi Following the other students with a few steps away from them, Kevin walked alone with his hands in his pockets to shield them from the cold. The weather wasn't bad but it could have been better. As he arrived at the back of the barnyard he saw the Professor waiting for them with folded arms. As he past him, the Gryffindor kept looking forward, then narrowed his eyes and gave a side glance and walked further. Until he remembered his conversation with Professor Quigley and he groaned in annoyance because he didn't want another stupid detention since he already was at a risk of a suspension. He walked back backwards and looked at the man again. "Hello" nothing more and he tried not to roll his eyes as he walked further.
Now , where was Zander? Just when he wasn't expected a greeting from this one. " Hello Mr. Hirase." Quote:
Originally Posted by sarahlooo Evie nearly ran her way down to the barnyard. She was all bundled up in sweaters and scarfs to keep warm and her hands were tucked in her pockets as she arrived at the class. She was particularly excited for this class today. Despite the cold, she enjoyed being outside and being around the animals. She was EXCITED to see what he had planned for them today!
"Hi professor," she greeted cheerfully as she walked towards him, staying several feet short. Was that a tomato he was eating? How odd. " Good day, Miss Shacklebolt." Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack FAVORITE CLASS FAVORITE CLASS. He was SO ready for this. You know why? Because he hadn't really spent as much time worrying about his Creatures OWL, so he wasn't already sick of the subject. Unlike Runes, Arithmancy, and basically everything else. After reading all those books, it was a wonder how Ravenclaws don't get sick of these things. So despite the chilled weather, Zander had a smile on his face as he walked over towards the crowd of people.
Merlin, how was everyone always so early? This place was hard to get to, okay? Not like it was easily accessible being outside 'n all. Bunch of magicians these lot were.
Anyways. Making his way towards the Creature's man himself, the Gryffindor gave him a HUGE smile. "Hello, Professor. Thanks for letting me keep my cruppy in the stables by the way, I... I didn't really have a chance to properly thank you 'n all yet," But he was doing it now and that's what really counted, right? Riiiiiiight? Right.
Now where to-- Kevin was already here! O____O Wait. Kevin was already here? Since when did the boy show up to class early? Strange. Eh, whatever. No worries, Kev, goober #2 is here to keep you company. As always. " Hello Mr. Adair and its not a problem. Just be sure not to forget about stopping by." Pets loved seeing their owners every now and then. Quote:
Originally Posted by Optimist Oh hey! Her friends well, some of her friends were already there.

Really, it looked like she was stuck waving but she wasn’t she was just in a good mood.
She gave Amur and Agatha smiles as well because hey why not? Kace got a giant grin as she practically threw herself down in a seat relatively close to him. Looking around the area she couldn’t help but smile at everyone and even the Professor of course.
“Hello Professor Thompson!” She grinned and sent a smile to the girl who just walked into the room. “Hi” she smiled to Evie because really Evie seemed like a cool person from the other classes she had had with her. Kevin of course got a nod. “Hey Hirase,” she grinned and then spotted her CoPrefect and gave him a little ‘sup nod. Wait that wasn’t like her at all….what was going on? Nothing of course she was just being friendly.
To prove she was extra herself she just looked around the room and sent another nod to a friend. “Hey Caleb,” grinning of course cause that was normal. She was grinning and shivering in her robes and scarves. “Is Emmy joining us today?” Puck asked Kace as she shivered slightly. Really. If someone sat next to her she’d probably give them the biggest warmth stealing hug ever.
" Good day Miss Greyvson." Quote:

She wanted to seeeee all the cool stuff. Because Creatures meant cool stuff. Duh. After giving a little wave to Adi, Kace, Zeke, and Hady, the third year put her hands in her pockets for chilly reasons and faced the front. Oh hey. And Yoo-Rainus guy. Hiiii Yoo-rainus guy. BUT WHEN WERE THE COOL THINGS COMING? " Hello Miss Kittredge" Quote:

As long as nobody bothered her, but then, she felt like there was an agreement between herself and certain people. Not that she trusted them, but anyone who agreed that her cat had a good name could be tolerated. As long as there weren’t any hug attempts.
She wasn’t that cold after all. She’d sort of eyed the tomato the professor was eating as she’d arrived at the barnyard, though. Ew, she thought, although she gave him her patented professor!smile anyway. “Good morning, Professor Thompson,” she said, before turning and heading over near Hady, Beverly and Agatha. Strength in numbers, really, no matter how much she’d decided to tolerate others. She was still going to stick with what she knew, and therefore sort of trusted. " Good morning, Miss Andrews." Hm. All done with tomato now. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Well, this should be interesting. Creatures was supposedly meant to be "her thing" as far as her parents were concerned. Both Kate's parents were Magizoologists, so it was sort of expected of her to do well in this class. Her parents knew it might not be her favorite class, but they also knew they'd given her a strong background in the basics. Kate continued her walk to class until she was met with the professor standing at the entrance to the barnyard.
"Hello, Professor," she said, her eyes zeroing in on the tomato in his hand. It wasn't anything unusual, but it was her natural reaction to take in the sight of her surroundings. She shifted her weight to one side and waited to see which creature they'd be interacting with. Dragons, she hoped! Someday, at least. " Hello, Miss Addison." Quote:

She stood around with the others and waited for the lesson to start. She wondered how this lesson would go. Would she be a good person or a bad person this time? She had no idea. " Good day, Miss Emery." Quote:
Originally Posted by Kaos.Doodles There was no doubt about it. Kyroh was super excited about CoMC.

And DIMA. And Dima's reaction to the creatures! it was going to be awesome. And maybe even today they would cover dragons? With thoughts swirling around in his brain it took him a moment to realize that he had reached his destination and was staring RIGHT at the Professor.
Oh.
"Hullo Sir!" Grinning Kyroh gave him a wave and quickly moved to stand next to Caleb. SUP? " Hello to you Mr. Scabior." Quote:
Originally Posted by Team ronmione Care of Magical Creatures, this class should be good, yes? Hands on activities hopefully, that was much better than having to write down notes all class. Finn slowly made his way down to the barnyard, and then stopped short at the sight of the Professor. "In-interesting choice of... of snack? Professor." Finn said shyly, studying him for a second before shaking his head at himself and heading inside.
He scanned the area before finally deciding to go towards the back of the building, less likely to be noticed by a bunch of people. Ah, someone had now acknowledged his choice of snack. " Why thank you Mr. Mitchell." Though it had been polished cleanly now. Quote:

Margo noted the snack the Professor was chewing on " Hello Miss Holiday." Smiling a little, " That's very good to hear considering how healthy they are." Quote:
Originally Posted by ScarletCharm104 Marigold smiled a bit shakily at the Professor. "Hello, Professor," she said with a grin. She had failed this OWL, failed it flat out, and she could never live down the shame. It wasn't going to stop her from taking the class...
...it just stopped some of her plans for the future. Whatevs. " Good day Miss McAlistor." It was nice seeing students return to his class whether for a filler, leisure, or chance for improvement. After doing a simple cleaning charm to make sure his teeth weren't stained. Appearances were a thing to the Professor, after all. He then addressed the class. " Welcome and Welcome back everyone. Today we will be interacting with a certain creature that is rare to see, but not on the endangered creatures list." What did that mean exactly? " Porlocks to be exact. Now before we get the preparations at hand, who can share what they already know of Porlocks?"
--- OOC: Make sure to share only one fact per student. Lesson will continue tomorrow. |
