The cobwebs had been atrocious. There wasn't a creature alive that could convince him to let them REMAIN in the room for his lesson. For one he'd been caught in a couple while roaming as a cat and for another thing, they were typically large and messy. His lesson would have enough of that without their help thank you very much.

Oh.
"Hello?" Maggie sounded a little uncertain when she took a step into the classroom, eyes on the professor. Where were the other students? This WAS the right time, right? Were all the others dead? Choked to death in their sleep by the cobwebs? Ew. That would be a rather cruel way to die.
She lingered by the door, not yet walking to her seat.
Huh?
Well there was something new, a Slytherin being the first to get to his class. Had that ever happened before? It wasn't immediately coming to memory, a sure sign it hadn't. Maddox watched the young snake make her way to the room, having heard her footsteps long before he saw her but what got him was the way she...just stood there.
"Good morning Miss Traulton." He could ask if everything was alright, of course he could, that's what Professors did, but instead, "You of all people won't want to be standing there when the activity starts."
Fair warning if he did say so himself.

"Good morning, Professor Quigley." Penelope put an apple on the professor's desk.
She found a desk near the front of the room and sat down. Taking her wand, parchment, quill, and inkwell out, she looked up at the board. Nothing was written on the board yet. Ready to take notes, Penelope waited for the lesson to begin.
Ah and there was Penelope. The lesson wouldn't be complete without someone to worry about every aspect of it. Maddox smiled at the young Ravenclaw, momentarily setting aside his apple to return her greeting. "Good morning Miss Wright. Ready for today's great adventure?"
10 galleons said the answer was 'no' but that was half the fun!

Letting out a yawn as she entered, Zhenya held out an apple for Professor Quigley. She'd been meaning to give him one, or more than one, all year, but this was the first time she had come prepared. "'Morning Professor," she said, walking straight to a seat and resting her head on her hand. UGH why did she have to stay up so late studying? She yawned again, and hoped Professor Q had planned in some morning aerobics to wake them up. She should have woken up a few minutes earlier and gone for a quick jog outside to wake up, but unfortunately sleep was a tad more precious to the stressed out seventh year.
Where as the other two looked....awake enough, the Charms Professor couldn't ignore the yawning and tired looks that came out of this one. In truth he was wondering how long it would be before the students' behaviours started sending subliminal messages that they would rather be in bed. Miss Burton would be the first of many yawners no doubt. Good thing he always had something special in mind for those.
"Why thank you Miss Burton! It's much appreciated." The man levitated the first apple of the morning from her hand and on to his desk. The fact her head was now resting on her hands was all the confirmation he needed. Something would have to be done.
"Late night up?" Did no one appreciate sleep anymore?
SPOILER!!: Janelle Quote:

Entering the classroom, Janelle gave a greeting to the Professor. "Good Morning Professor Quigley", she said brightly. "Good Morning classmates", she added as she headed for her seat. It seemed she'd have a few minutes to prepare herself for class. Once everything was in order, Janelle sat back and waited.....
Op! Look at that, the enthusiasm was back. It was almost enough to have Maddox forgetting about the student that had just zombied into the room who currently had her head resting against the desk....almost. If the others kept it up then he would have no choice.
"Good morning Miss Guidry. You're awfully bright this morning, I like it."
Typically the man liked anyone that showed enthusiasm toward his subject. Made him feel like he wasn't just wasting his time showing up to lessons, y'know?
SPOILER!!: Adi Quote:

"Hellooooo, Professor!'' A cheerful smile for you! The Hufflepuff had already started heading for a seat but then he remembered! He had an apple for Catman! He did a quick turn around, reached into his bag to pull out a shiny yellow apple which he placed on the man's desk.
NOW to get a seat. And hiiiiii, peoples! His already present classmates got a smile from him. Adi settled onto a chair. All he needed now was for the class to start.
And another one looking perfectly chipper. It might serve the Hufflepuff well later if push came to shove. Perhaps he could impliment laws--more 'laws' than he technically already had. The man wasn't above bribes. Paying him an apple would get anyone out of physical exercise.
"Good morning to you too Mister Rehman. Nice to see you in such high spirits." Despite the damper that those cobwebs could be. Just look, he'd even gotten him an apple! This was good stuff.
You'd never really think about it, but seeing nothing but cobwebs everywhere got frustrating after awhile. It made him long for the comfort of his own house even more. How many months were there til summer again?
SPOILER!!: Aubrey Quote:

Not to the point where she wanted to do jumping jacks or anything, but she wasn't just going through the motions.
PLUS...
She had an apple for Quigley. AJ remembered and she didn't accidentally eat it on her sleep walk over. Times were a changing. Not really. She walked into the classroom to see only four other people. Whoa. This looked weird. "Good morning, professor." She placed a flawless apple on his desk. "For you." Man, she was so proud of herself. Being almost fourteen sure did mature her.
Yeah...
Right...
Wasn't this just a pleasant surprise? Not only had Aubrey managed to beat her much more punctual sister to the lesson but the young lion didn't walk in looking like death! Two steps in one day? The man was tempted to question the sorcery at play but thought it best to pretend it was natural and hope it stuck around after.
"Thank you Miss Valentine." For the apple of course. It always did his heart good to see the students walking in with his favourite fruit. It always managed to give him hope.
"I like this new look on you, you should keep it." You know, the whole punctual awake business. Now she kinda looked like her sister. Funny that.
SPOILER!!: Hady Quote:

Slowly making her way into the room Hady scanned the area in front of her her finding it relatively cobweb free. Relaxing just a bit she gave the professor a light smile. "Morning Professor Quigley," she greeted quietly pulling a green apple from her bag and laying it on his desk. The only reason she had that this morning was the fact that her common room wasn't to far from the kitchens. Looking around once more she choose her normal seat up front and checking over the desk and chair first then sat down.
With nothing on the front board as of yet Hady began to set her things on the desk in front of her, wand included her hand resting lightly on top of it.
Greeeen apple.
Maddox wasn't picky, not unless he was getting the fruit himself, but it was hard to deny the way his face brightened a little extra at the sight of an apple that was green. His favourites, though he doubted anyone knew. It always made the feeling a little happier whenever he got them because it either meant the student was paying attention or they were brilliant at the guessing game. He didn't care which so long as he got green apples on the odd occasion.
"Good morning Miss Lynch." Hard to miss the way his eyes followed the apple as the young Slytherin placed it on his desk. Such beauty, he hardly had the words to describe it.
SPOILER!!: Henric Quote:

Princess was the strongest and fastest toad he ever cared for, he didn't want to lose hope just yet...
He was still looking around on the floor, hoping his little toadette would come jumping back into his arms.Unfortunately, he didn't notice the wall in front of him and accidentally bumped his head against it. He yelped in pain ,"Ow!" He rubbed his head. Darn it...wall.That hurtt...*pouts* Henric was still rubbing his head as he walked into the class. He hadn't have any apples to give so he just grinned back with a greeting,"Morning professor.." He couldnt think of anything else to add besides smoothing the throbbing pain on his forehead. He quietly find a seat near the corner and sat down. He then waved at Adi and AJ not far from where he sat."Hey guys,"he smiled, wincing slightly when he felt the bump on his head shot pain through him.
....
That Hufflepuff just walked into the wall--no seriously, the Hufflepuff just made a beeline for the concrete structure and didn't even seem to brace for impact. Ow, just ow. That right there was gonna leave a mark and the boy never struck his as the type to relish in the acquisition of scars.
"......Er.....good morning Mister Nicolei...." Stare. "That...looked painful. I suggest you get some ice on it." Not wanting the boy hurting himself further in this attempt, Maddox conjured an ice-pack and levitated it to the boy's desk.
"I also suggest you use that while you can." Another fair warning, the man was on a roll with these.
SPOILER!!: Toby ;__; Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir Toby, of course, had brought an apple along. It had become almost second nature by now to stop by the kitchens as soon as he realised he needed to go Charms, and pick up an apple. Red, green, whatever he was offered by the friendly little house elves. Today, it was a green one, and Toby passed by Quigley's desk to drop it off there for him.
"Morning, Professor Quigley," the Hufflepuff said, cheerfully enough. He was quite fidgety (duh), having been up since the very early hours to go for a run and cram in some NEWT revision, and was in a weeeeiiiirrrrd mood. But THAT likely wouldn't be obvious until he opened his mouth to answer a question in class. Probably just the excitement of inching closer to graduation was sinking in and making him a hyperpuff, right? Right.
Toby saluted the professor and went off to sit in his usual seat, at the side of the room and by the window. His usual seat, but not for a great deal longer. EXCITING.
There was the happy Hufflepuff, you know, the one NOT running into walls trying to give himself a concussion. Somehow Maddox felt this one could achieve such things without even leaving his seat but as there was no proof the boy was hyped up on sugar, there was nothing he could ban and no threats he could make. It was just slightly concerning--until he saw the apple.
Suddenly it didn't matter how jittery the happy puffer was, the man was still getting an apple out of it.
"Thank you Mister Fuller-Thompson." Pause. Some level of concern was still expected...wasn't it? As in...that whole sympathetic reel?
"You...alright there, kid?"
SPOILER!!: Agatha Quote:

Waste of time, if you asked her.
Fine, there she was, looking bored. "Hi." She said to the professor unenthusiatically as she walked towards a seat and sat down.
Blink blink.
The Charms Professor stared at the latest addition to the room for a moment, not sure exactly what to say at first. This was evident in the way his brow rose questioningly and his gaze fixed on her. "That...was arguably the most pathetic greeting I've gotten in a while so we're going to try a very simple exercise, Miss Hapgood. You're going to pretend you're happy to be here and I'm going to pretend I believe you."
Sounded simple, didn't it? Nothing to it and the results would be a lot better. There wasn't a doubt in his mind how this one felt about his subject and he would have found it sad but...he got paid anyway.
SPOILER!!: Angel Quote:

"Hello Professor." Angel smiled as she walked into the room. "I hope your well." Angel then went and sat down and waited for the lesson to start.
Two Valentines and two apples. This was the way it was supposed to be. Maddox smiled at Angel's approach to place her apple on his desk, quite pleased to see how awake she also looked. Maybe these students were learnig their lesson afterall.
"Good morning Miss Valentine."
SPOILER!!: Kate Quote:

Either way, the weather today was wonderful, and even though it was still really early, Kate was appreciative of the fact the windows were open. Sunshine. She loved it.
"Hello, Professor," she said, passing by the man to get to her seat. Alright. Hit me with your best shot.
This one right here might have been the only one visibly appreciative of the fact he'd left the place open to allow the fresh spring air into the room. Sure it was something he always did, even in the winter with the right charms in place, but that was besides the point. Dangerous things happened when one started taking the simple things for granted.
"Good morning Miss Addison, nice to see you awake."
Most of them were awake, this was good going all around.
SPOILER!!: Yoongi Quote:
Originally Posted by DuckyLinJi Yoongi looked like a Zombie. The glow on his face had vanished overnight. He had dark circles under his eyes and his once shiny straight hair was sticking to the right. On the side he had slept..three hours probably.
He entered the room with a big smile on his face, hiding the fact that he was tired from the OWL studies till deep in the night. "It's a good morning isn't it Sir?" he laughed because he was totally not near breaking point. Nope...not at all...
He twirled around, knocked in to a desk and decided to use this one to sit down.
But then this Gryffindor happened.
The boy's question completely went over the man's head. He was too busy focusing on the level of exhaustion the boy wore. "Circe, what happened to you Mister Hyland? You look like death." Just when he thought the students had been doing good with these early mornings. Oh my. Tsk tsk. If Miss Burton hadn't done the trick, he certainly had. There was no way he could risk it. Who's to say most of them weren't feeling like this on the inside???
SPOILER!!: Eden Quote:
Originally Posted by kayquilz Eden slipped into Charms, in a good mood for today. Charms was good, usually, depending on Quiggles' attitude. If the professor was chill, then the class was good. If he was in a bad mood though...
Eesh.
The Ravenclaw sauntered up to his desk and places two apples on his desk, one red, and one green, just to give him a bit of variety. "Morning Professor!" she said brightly before going to take a seat. She saw Toby...and ugh, HAGATHA...but she was kind of busy thinking about graduating over looking for familiar faces.
SHE WAS SO CLOSE. SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE.
Maddox was drawn from his blatant staring at the Gryffindor by the bright voice of who he could only imagine to be Miss McGee. Of course by now the man knew the voice of his students and glancing over at the door helped too. "Good morning Miss McGee--" Oh my. Oh myyyy, not one but TWO apples and one of them happened to be GREEN.
A wide smile spread across his face. "Brilliant morning, isn't it?"
SPOILER!!: Benjamin Quote:
Originally Posted by Holmesian Feline A fine spring day and there was a lesson. Not that he minded it all that much. There would be plenty of time between classes to enjoy the out of doors and the nice weather. Benny made his way back up to the third floor after grabbing a quick breakfast...and a apple of course. The classroom had its fair share of cobwebs like the rest of the castle, but it wasn't too overwhelming. "Good morning, Professor," he greeted, placing a fresh apple upon the man's desk with the rest gathered there.
Turning back to the class, he took in who was gathered there as he debated where to sit. Yikes, it seemed like he was the last one of his friends to arrive as he spotted Adi, Angel and AJ already there and seated. "Hey guys," Benny greeted his friends as he took a seat at a desk within them all. Look, it worked, so that he didn't have to choose who to be with.
And the apples just kept rolling in. Kinda made it pointless to remove the smile from his face when you thought about it. What was the point when the students were making him so happy. By now he'd finished the apple he'd been munching on when they got there so having all these options was enough to leave him tickled pink.
This was the life right here, having students bring you apples in exchange for their education; though he'd have taught them regardless.
"Good morning Mister Atreyu."
SPOILER!!: Marsha Quote:

Weren’t they all so cool?
Grinning, Marsha moved into the - amazingly, cobweb free - Charms classroom and she smiled at Professor Quiggley as she skipped up to him with the three green apples that were in her hands wrapped in a paper towel. ”Good morning Professor! Big grins for the man.
She moved over to an empty seat and sat down - she likely wouldn’t be there for long though. The Professor liked keeping them active hehe.
He had to admit, the paper towels had gotten him curious from the very moment Marsha walked in. His nose told him plainly enough there was an apple involved but what he didn't expect was to suddenly be confronted by three--and not just any three either, they were all GREEN.
The man wasn't sure his heart was strong enough for this. It was just absolutely amazing and he might need to take a moment to compose himself, or not but you got the idea and so would Miss Hanover when she saw the wide cheshire grin spread across his face.
"Why thank you Miss Hanover."
SPOILER!!: Noel Quote:
Originally Posted by Samia Noel was not a morning person. Especially now since he spent most of his nights revising things for OWLs. Yawning, and rubbing his eyes because yes this class was held too early for his taste. The puff made his way to class, only to find Maggie lingering at the door.
Yawning wide yet again, Noel bend a little to bump his shoulder with hers, "..What's up, bud?" he asked before moving in. "Come on," he gestured for her to follow. He saw an empty seat and look the professor was right there too - eating the apple as usual.
Ah and there was someone else trying to convince Miss Traulton that heading inside was the vastly better option. Hopefully the boy would have some success, you know, to make him feel better when later came because he, like his other two classmates had just doomed them all. A fact that was hardly worth mentioning right now but there you had it.
SPOILER!!: Zander Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack Ahem. Zander was having cobweb problems at the moment.
Don't mind him.
Just got a little spider something stuck all up in his face. And his mouth too. YUCK!
Also it was STILL too dang early to have a lesson. So naturally, Zander was facing all the world's wrath all by himself today. It's like everything was out to get him. Like if you thought this chamber monster was a big deal, try combatting Zander's daily struggles on a regular basis. Harder than it looks. How he's still alive? That's the real Hogwarts mystery of the year.
Ahem. So he made it to Charms (some how) looking as tired and miserable as ever. Though he did have a single apple in hand (and wasn't planning on dropping it this time) and attempted to put a smile on his face, though it was falling due to the amount of sleep he had been getting lately (not a lot) "Hi, Professor." Where to sit? "Goodmorning," sort of. Actually terrible morning. And he STILL had cobweb aftertaste in his mouth. G-R-O-S-S.
Then there was Zander.
Maddox stared at the Prefect for a long time. Why...on earth did he look like that and how was it possible to irritate and appease the man in one motion? The apple had once again gained him some brownie points but the man wasn't sure whether or not he'd say it was as much as he'd lost for coming in looking like he'd wrangled with a spider and lost.
Only thing missing where they battle wounds but make no mistake, Maddox was relieved the boy walked in with all his blood still on the inside of his skin. Good stuff right there.
"Good morning Mister Adair." Perfectly even expression; he would not intimidate the boy today.
SPOILER!!: Hugo Quote:
Originally Posted by WeasleyGirl Hugo wondered why classes had to be so early. It wasn't that early but if an alarm was required to wake him up, then it was early, okay? Good.
The boy entered the room as normal, this time he took a minute to see how bright the room could be and spotted the professor who would agree that everyone should be in bed at this moment. "Hey, what's up professor?" greeted with a smile and went to find a seat. No familiar faces, except for Maggie but she was standing beside the door for an unknown reason. Where was Dante? And Marigold? Oh well. He sat down and waited for the lesson to begin.
Maddox wasn't quite sure what to make of this one. Was he tired...? Was he merely indifferent? How was he meant to figure it out? "There're a couple things that are up, Mister Foster though I'm afraid that telling you would only ruin the surprise."
Why yes, the man was aware that he'd taken the question in an overly literally point of view but that was the point.
SPOILER!!: Beverly Quote:
Originally Posted by Deezerz Nice day. Fresh from breakfast. Cobwebs floating down on her hair. The usual.
It was getting annoying that she was growing accustomed to seeing cobwebs around. That was so wrong. Utterly utterly wrong. If her grandmother was here the elves would meet a worse fate than clothes; the end of her six inch stiletto heel.
Ridding herself of cobwebs and tossing her hair behind her shoulder, Beverly strode over to her usual spot near the front, setting her bag and wand on the desk. "Morning, Professor Quigley."
He didn't forget his milk today, did he?
There was the little milk stealer. He saw how it was, distract a man with his sandwich in the fridge then hope he walked away without his milk. Admittedly it was a truly clever plan because it worked but now the man was forever suspicious. Who stole milk from Professor's anyway? Did no one still care about Professor germs? Surely they knew he was riddled with the stuff?
"Good morning Miss Wayne, let's hope your skills of distraction don't extend toward apples."
Oh no, that was immediate grounds for a detention and they wouldn't want that.
Quote:

"Good day, Professor. You should really diversify your diet or you might die of apple poisoning. Have you tried chicken wings? They're quite good." Her personal favorites, as a matter of fact. The Charms Professor couldn't help but snort at the logic of the young Slytherin, even as he moved to shut the door. "That's not a real thing." Wait. Pause. "Is it?" Maddox had never heard of the fruit doing ill to anyone. Not unless you hurled it at their head but why would you when you could just eat it? Made no sense to him.
"I don't think you lot would appreciate me being sat at my desk with wings while you all go without either." No one cared if he ate apples. No one would ever want a bite, not even a small one. Just the way he liked it.
Seeing as the last of the students had now trickled in and--more importantly--it was now 9 am sharp, it was time for the man to begin his lesson. Maddox vanished the core of the latest apple he'd been working through then focused his full attention on the students before him.
"Thanks to some of your classmates, I've decided we need a little waker upper. This time, however, I won't be sending any of you over and under desks." After seeing the lack of coordination they all sported and the way many had tripped over themselves, there was just no way. This wasn't one of those days when he felt he had it in him to care. Consequently they would have to avoid the entire situation altogether. "Line up and run a lap around the room weaving in and out of the rows."
The man leaned against his desk once more. "And while you're at it, who can tell me just WHAT makes spider webs so effective at what they do?"
Easy enough question, as all the first ones were. OOC: I'll probably move this class around the same time tomorrow depending on the posts (might move it sooner). For now just have your charries jogging in a line while weaving in and out of the rows of desks that are neatly lined up inside the classroom. It'll only take one post unless you wanted to do more!
