Her eyes were fairly accustomed to the lighting, and even if they weren’t, she was fairly certain there was t least one spell she could use to adjust to it. She’d walked into the room as if it wasn’t half-dark and rather stuffy with no fresh air coming in from outside. At least it wasn’t damp.

“Good morning, Professor Marchand,” she’d said politely, choosing not to comment on his appearance as she’d let her gaze pass him on her way to choosing a seat. That and investigating to see if the snacks were worth her time. She selected a single cream puff before settling into her chosen seat, delicately nibbling at it as she waited to see if anyone worth her notice was going to choose to show up to the lesson.

Gaston's head was bowed over the black book on the desk in front of him when a sudden voice startled him and made him look up. Ah, Miss Andrews. Ever the polite one... "Good morning, Miss Andrews," he replied, inclining his head toward the Slytherin. He was glad she hadn't drawn attention to his appearance.

She entered the classroom honestly a little disappointed by how sad the classroom was. Why was it so dark? It was so sunshiney outside. Eep. Professor face looked a little worse for wear too. Nevertheless, she did greet him brightly. She then helped herself to some snacks and then a seat.

The charms professor picked up his pen, but before he could turn his attention back to what he was writing, the Gryffindor prefect arrived. Well, she certainly seemed cheery... a refreshingly stark contrast to his own mood. "Hello, Miss Richards," he greeted the girl.

The Healer somehow insisted that he take things easy if he wanted to get back to Kendo training. That didn't sit well with him initially because he didn't like missing lessons, but if it meant missing his Kendo grading entirely by the start of summer then by all means, he'd stay in the Hospital Wing until the Healer gives him the go signal.

Still a bit sad that classes aren't held outdoors, Jace quietly strode inside the classroom and immediately spotted the professor. Even from afar he looked...miserable. He could see the dark circles under his eyes from where he stood. Without a moment's hesitation, the Ravenclaw took the liberty to get the professor a glass of fruit punch and three pieces of cream puffs, and carefully approached him. "Sensei?" he called him out as Jace placed the food on his desk. "You look like you could use some...food." Did he want company? Because Jace was more than willing to chat him up until it was time for class. The Ravenclaw was simply returning the favour.

What goes around, comes around, they say.

Okay, back to writing. The Frenchman had barely enough time to jot down a couple more lines before another voice jerked him out of his thoughts. He didn't even have to look up to know who it was; there was only one student who called him Sensei. Blue eyes blinked in shock as the Ravenclaw set a glass of punch and a plate of cream puffs down in front of him.

well, that certainly wasn't the way he'd expected the boy's sentence to end, but he wasn't wrong. For the past several days, Gaston had been avoiding the great hall; he'd asked the house elves to bring his meals to his office... either that or done without them. "Thank you, Mr. Reed," he said, managing to give the boy a small sad smile. He felt terrible for worrying his student... again! "Five points to Ravenclaw for your kindness." No matter how sad he was, Gaston Marchand never let an act of kindness go unacknowledged.

That was all Juno could think about when she walked into the Charms classroom. Food always caught her attention. Because, food. But before she made her way to the table of deliciousness, Juno gave a small smile to the very disheveled looking professor, "Morning, Professor!" She said it in a way hoping to not disturb, and then walked over to the food.

She got a plate full of cream puffs and a cup full of fruit punch and then went to her desk. She made sure to make room for all the supplies she would need for class, then stuffed a cream puff in her mouth. Boy, were they good!

Gaston was once again bent over his book, his pen in one hand and one of the cream puffs Mr. Reed had given him in the other when the Hufflepuff prefect arrived. He took notice of her quiet tone and was grateful to her for trying to to distract him. "Good morning, Miss Darcy," he replied, watching her make a beeline for the refreshment table.

Before Gaston could become engrossed in his writing again, here came another Hufflepuff. "And good day to you too, Mr. Kovalainen," he returned the boy's greeting with a polite nod.

She sure hoped so because it was a beautiful day and having some sunshine and fresh air was always a major plus to her day.

"Good morning, Professor, hope you're doing well." Hady smiled warmly in his direction not mentioning that he looked very much like he could use a few more hours sleep. Hopefully the lesson would be smooth sailing and no one would anger him. Taking a peek at the table in the back had her eyes lightly up. Oh, yum! Wandering over quickly the teen selected a cream puff, napkin to set it on and a small cup of punch. Awesome way to start off a lesson!

With her selection in hand she slipped down into an empty seat placing her food items on the desk. Quietly and quickly taking out the things she would need and setting them on the corner of her desk before eating her pastry. This girl was content right now and ready to begin.

Gaston shook his head slightly as the head girl wished him well. Oh, if only that were true, Miss Lynch, he thought dejectedly. He forced himself to look back at the girl and gave her a halfhearted smile. "Good morning, Miss Lynch," he said.

She sighed softly as she saw the snacks and decided to pass them up.. the thought of food only made her stomach turn..

She instead turned to the Professor and her heart fell slightly as she saw how he looked.. He pretty much looked like how she felt.. She moved over to his desk, next to Jace and said in a quiet voice..

"Are you all right Professor? Can I help at all? "

Another student appeared at the charms professor's desk, and he couldn't' help but notice that Miss Snow looked every bit as sad as he was. Had he caused that? He'd never forgive himself if he did! He wasn't sure how to answer the girl's question; it seemed wrong to lie to her when she'd been kind enough to ask after him but this wasn't the sort of thing professors discussed with their students. There was only one honest answer he could give.

"I will be," he said with a forced smile. No matter how many times he had his heart broken, he always bounced back... eventually. The Ravenclaw's offer to help touched his heart and threatened his already tenuous hold on his emotions. It was his job to be concerned for her, not the other way around! "That's very sweet of you, Miss Snow, but I'm afraid there's nothing you can do." There was only one person who could... "Another five points to Ravenclaw."

With several of her classmates asking and pointing out his broken appearance, the Hufflepuff bit her lip and opted to remain silent on the subject.

Instead, Paige uncharacteristically - and she still felt food and drink like this were a well intended but unnecessary and sticky distraction - made her way over to the provided refreshments and grabbed a cup of punch. With her wand out, Paige performed a self heating charm upon the cup to warm the liquid and keep it so which she then brought up and place on the professor's desk in front of him. Saying nothing, she simply smiled warmly at the man before making her way over to a seat in the front and set to getting her things set and organized on her desk for the eventual start of the lesson.

Another glass of punch appeared on the desk in front of him, and Gaston's brilliant blue eyes glanced up... straight into those of Miss Skeeter. He should've guessed; he'd expect nothing less from her! She didn't speak, just offered him a smile, which he returned with a subdued on e of his own. "Thank you, Miss Skeeter," he said. "Five points to Hufflepuff."

Gaston decided getting any more writing done now was a lost cause and closed the little black book on his desk, just as Mr. Emery walked into the room. You have no idea... he inwardly scoffed at the boy's words. Last night was just the latest in an ever growing string of horrible nights, but he was too polite to point that out. Instead he nodded toward his student and replied, "Good morning to you too, Mr. Emery."

The charms professor looked at his watch. Was it time for class already? No, it was past time to start class. He'd been so distracted by his own sadness that he completely lost track of time! Normally he was eager to share his knowledge with his students, but today the thought just brought a sense of overwhelming dread. He pretended to drop his pen and bent to pick it up so nobody could see him press a hand to his eyes.

Oh for Merlin's sake, get it together, Gaston! he silently berated himself. Your students need you to help them learn, but they'll never be able to if they're too distracted worrying about you! You cannot fall apart in front of them!

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down as he placed his black book in the top drawer of his desk and locked it with a spell... just in case anybody got any ideas about trying to read it. He pointed his wand at the door, but his heightened emotions affected the spell and the door slammed much harder than he'd intended, making a resounding BANG! Sorry, everybody!

Another quick flick of the charms professor's wand, and the window shades flew up about halfway. He hoped that would be enough lighting for the students to be able to do their assignment; he really wasn't in a sunshine-y mood right now! He peered out at the class as he stood beside his desk. "Who can name a witch or wizard known for inventing a charm?" he asked his students. "Please name both the inventor and the spell itself."

OOC: CLASS HAS STARTED!

Late arrivals after this point will lose house points; just pretend like your charrie's been here the whole time. We'll move on again in 20-24 HOURS.
