James liked playing the guessing game of 'which student would arrive first'. It was an incredibly amusing way to pass the time by and he was 7 out of 10 times correct. Call it a man's intuition. The first arrival was by no means a surprise. Ravenclaw, young, and eager. He saw this one coming from a mile away. Giving one last look over to his fellow Professors, James straightened his back even more ~~if that was even possible~~. He nodded at the young girl, "Congratulations for being the first to arrive," nothing worth congratulations, actually. But eh. Maybe this would ensure she'd stay on track for the whole lesson. And hopefully keep her unruly friends in line too.

She said a general, "Hello Professors", and headed for the benches. Being early had its privileges. She had her choice of seats and took the one with what she thought would be the best vantage point. Sliding her things under the bench, Janelle observed the professors. They were a study in contrasts and she couldn't help but smile to herself. Watching them would keep her entertained until class began.

Merlin, the next one wasn't a surprise either. Honestly, these do-good-er types were so predictable. "Miss Guidry," he nodded as the girl went to sit down. What was she looking at? Her parents ought to teahc her not to stare.

Right?

She made her way towards the benches and smiled warmly at all the Professors! "Hello Professor Draper! Professor Ichihara!"" She said before giving a special wave and hello to Professor Hirsch!

Another blue, not surprising. When were the other houses going to arrive? A lesson with only these bunch would be the most boring thing to ever happen at this school. And that's including attending Poncho Paul's lessons. He nodded at the younger girl, noting bitterly that she chose to give a nice, proper, warm welcome to Professor Hirsch. Noted. Professors could have favorites too, did she know?

Instead, she took a seat, not even paying attention to who it was by.

.... Well wasn't this one a ball of energy today?

And not blue. Good. James was starting to worry that they'd only have a class of know-it-alls today. They needed some other colors to make for a healthy classroom. And less headaches. "Hello Miss Greingoth," she was tiny, was she aware?

As he entered the classroom area the first person he saw was Professor Draper...aka Jerkface... And his smile fell a little. He then nodded his head at Professor Ichihara because ladies first and smiled. "Hello Professor" he looked at Professor Hirsh cooly standing against a tree and he wished he was half as cool just standing there "Hello to you too, sir" he waved alittle bit and then.....turned to Draper. Putting on his best smile, because he was mature and all he nodded his head as a form of greeting"Good day, Professor Draper" he quickly turned to find a random seat.

For the record, James hadn't run out of ideas to teach because if he had, then they'd all be scooping up Hippogriff dung for today's lesson. So fortunately for the Head Child, the joint lesson today meant that there were PLENTY of ideas.

James waited with an amused sort of grin on his face. Just waiting for the boy to turn to greet him. It was taking him long enough. And...... Finally. "Good day to you as well, Mr. Head Boy." Oh this kid was full of dramatic fun.

She followed her gaze to finally spot the covered box that was there. "Wonder what's that."

Another quiet soul, James recognized this one. Sort of. Eh. Not really, honestly. All these kids started to look the same after a while. All good looking, all tiny, all eeeeh. Her nod was returned with one of his own, as he watched her find a seat and look at the box. Curiosity killed the kneazle, just saying.

Because he was very small, and very interested in everything that was going to be happening, and he didn't want to miss a moment of it. He plopped himself down and stared expectantly at each of the professors in turn, fidgeting a little because waiting was sometimes not his strongest suit. TEACH US!

Birthday boy was back at it again, was he now? Kid better thank Merlin that he came alone this time and not with a rogue Poncho Paul attached to his arm. James simply nodded in response to the boy's enthusiasm. The staring could quit though. James wasn't enjoying that.

It was amusing to see how much he contrasted Grumpypants' stance. Nah, Draper was all right. He was stern but nice enough despite that. "Hello to you as well Professors Ichihara and Draper." What was in that large box? She would just have to wait and see.

Waving to her classmates, Esme found a seat by Azura and waited for the lesson to begin.

A yellow. James hadn't made up his mind about those. "Good afternoon, Miss Darcy," of course his greeting was lumped in with Nana's. And again Roderick got his own. Not bitter or anything. Not at all.

With a tiny skip, Haddie started down the aisles of benches, making her way to her best friend. She passed by the professors on her way. Both Hirsch and Ichihara got a warm smile from the Californian pre-teen. "Hey, Professor Hirsch. Hello, Professor Ichihara." Then she turned and looked flatly at Draper before she sat down. "Drapes," she said. Her tone was like ice. And with that, she went back to ignoring the man and bumped her best friend playfully as she sat down next to her.

..... Professors weren't meant to have favorites, but they did. So you could probably bet that most had their least favorites as well. And James certainly did. He had about twenty of them. But this one had made herself a home at the top of the list. She was one of the few that got the single digit ranking.

He gave her a stern look at her choice of nickname, "Professor Draper," he corrected her. "Otherwise there will be point deduction." She still remembered how he wouldn't hesitate to keep his word, yes? He would've thought she had learned her lesson from the last time.

"Hi Professor's!" She smiled and waved at the three of them before doing the same to Haddie, Rachel, "Esme, Olivia, and Ariadne. Then she went to sit down next to Azura.

James hadn't decided what he thought about this one yet. She was also one of the more reserved, yet she hung out with the likes of Miss Denaker. Therefore, opinion pending. "Hello," he nodded as she went to find a place to sit. Maybe his lack of a judgment was a good thing for now.

Standing in front of the man, the Ravenclaw bowed to His Royal Coolness, and gave him a warm smile, "Good day, Professor Hirsch. How...are you?" Small talk is okay, right? Not that he wanted to take Professor Hirsch all to himself, but he is a friend too, so asking him how he's doing is perfectly fine. Glancing to where Professor Draper was, the Ravenclaw inclined his head toward him as well as soon as the man made eye contact, "Good to see you again, Professor Draper." Grin.

He glanced back up at the man leaning coolly against the tree, and just...appreciated his presence. He is, after all, his secret keeper now. Did he know?

James liked this one. He was respectable. For the most part. Again, Hirsch was given a bit mooore than just a greeting. And James still wasn't bitter. N O P E. He didn't care at all. "Same to you, young man," he nodded, letting the kid run back to find a... That wasn't a seat. Was he going to sit and watch Roderick all day? Because they had a lesson to teach here. Not. Bitter.

She’d rather know if the presence of multiple professors was due to them feeling like it was necessary. Yet she also knew she could handle herself. She’d told Professor Hirsch as such in the lessons she’d had earlier in the term. Therefore she was hardly concerned as she’d made her way to the COMC “classroom”. Just curious, and she knew better than to show that.

Instead, she just inclined her head toward the professors as they stood there, finding their personal choice as to how they waited to tell her much more about them than she figured they expected. Of course, they got her usual smile as well. “Good morning Professor Hirsch. Professor Draper, Professor Ichihara.” Greeting done, she made her way to an open bench, taking a seat and getting ready for whatever the lesson would entail.

Ah. He liked this one. She was quiet, didn't cause a scene, much more mature than the lot of them, and... Well that's it, but that meant she was monumentally better than some of those others. Especially those that felt the need to give him sass. He much preferred the type that would give other students sass. And that is why Brooklyn was a good one. "Miss Andrews," he nodded, watching as she went to take a seat.

Well, this would be interesting!!

Two of her favorite lessons and one that she quite enjoyed... Yeah, interesting!! Ava rushed to the grounds because she didn't want to be late (not because of Draper's punishment, okay?) and only the idiots who didn't want to be in this class very soon.

"Helloooooo, Professors!" The young lioness chirped happily and greeted them. They could see that she's very EXCITED to be in this class.[/colors]

... This one had WAY too much energy. James wanted to request that she took it down a notch. Or ten. Maybe twenty even, was that too much to ask for? He glanced over at Nana, before turning just as the girl made her way over. She got a nod.

"Good day, Professor...s." All of them.

James glanced down at his watch, how much longer would they have to wait? Not that he was growing impatient or anything... Ahem.. Another prefect was always welcome to his lessons, especially one that did her job properly unlike some of the others he could point fingers at. He gave her a firm nod in greeting.

Everyone else got a slight wave, head nod or possibly a smile (if it was a certain someone). Without waiting any longer she found herself an empty spot on one of the benches and sat down her bag sliding from her shoulder to land on the ground at her feet with a quiet 'thud'. She was ready to find out what they would be doing.

James was wondering when he'd see the next arrival. Upon her arrival she recieved a nod in greeting, before the Professor looked down at his watch. It was nearly time.

"Morning, Professor Hirsch," Zeke greeted, giving the man a nod in passing. He also offered Professor Ichihara a smile and nod, Professor Draper too, and they also got "G'morning,"s as well.

Meandering over to one of the benches nearby, Zeke claimed a seat and merely waited for things to happen.

What exactly were they doing today?

Fighting rabid beasts he hoped... though that would hardly be 'caring' right?

James was about ready to get things started, but he waited a few more moments for the last of the students to arrive, as he knew they were still waiting on some more. "Mr. Browne," James greeted the older kid as he made his way over.

So they should start about now, yeah?

Alright, it was exactly time and James Draper waited for no one. With one final glance at his watch, he uncrossed his arms and took a few steps forward to center himself in front of the students. ”Hello and welcome to another lesson,” he nodded. ”If you haven’t been paying attention,” there were always a few oblivious ones, ”For today's lesson you'll be working with Professor Hirsch and Professor Ichihara, along with myself.” They knew who was who by now, yes? Because James couldn’t bother to clarify for those who were too daft to figure it out by now.

Moving on, ”Today’s lesson will include quite a bit of theory to start us off, so I suggest everyone take out something to record notes on,” this statement was then followed by a short pause to allow everyone time to take out some parchment if they hadn’t already. It was important.

Everyone had their notes out, yes? Great. Because James was about to start and he’d wait for no one. Eh, maybe he’d wait if it was entirely necessary, but they were on a tight schedule here. ”To start us off, I want to talk a little bit about a muggle myth.” But this isn’t muggle studies, he was sure they’d say. But before anyone had time to chirp in with their smart mouths, James continued because yes this was all relevant if they gave him the time to explain.

”Muggles have had a record of creating myths about creatures we know to exist. Take unicorns, for example.” The muggle kind were similar to the actual creatures, but there were differences, yes? ”The myth we’ll be discussing right now originates in parts of Asia, more specifically in China.” James would know, he spent a lot of time there. ”Where the muggles believe to be a legendary mountain with a cascading waterfall, called Dragon’s Gate, that can be reached via a river. The muggle myth says that Carps swim upstream against the river’s current and those fish that can make the jump over the waterfall at the end of the river will transform into a powerful dragon.” He waited for the notetakers to jot things down, in case.

”My question for you all is, do you think a transformation of this caliber is possible through magic?” he looked around. ”And If so, by what branch of magic?” Welcome to class, everyone.

OOC: Hello everyone and welcome! This post marks the OFFICIAL START of the lesson. Any arrivals posted from this point forward will face IC consequences, so just pretend you've been here all along!

Eh, maybe he’d wait if it was entirely necessary, but they were on a tight schedule here. ”To start us off, I want to talk a little bit about a muggle myth.” But this isn’t muggle studies, he was sure they’d say. But before anyone had time to chirp in with their smart mouths, James continued because yes this was all relevant if they gave him the time to explain. ”Muggles have had a record of creating myths about creatures we know to exist. Take unicorns, for example.” The muggle kind were similar to the actual creatures, but there were differences, yes? ”The myth we’ll be discussing right now originates in parts of Asia, more specifically in China.” James would know, he spent a lot of time there. ”Where the muggles believe to be a legendary mountain with a cascading waterfall, called Dragon’s Gate, that can be reached via a river. The muggle myth says that Carps swim upstream against the river’s current and those fish that can make the jump over the waterfall at the end of the river will transform into a powerful dragon.” He waited for the notetakers to jot things down, in case. ”My question for you all is, do you think a transformation of this caliber is possible through magic?” he looked around. ”And If so, by what branch of magic?” Welcome to class, everyone.
