06-16-2008, 11:54 PM
| | Arithmancy 1
Professor Wesolowski sits behind his desk, his spectacles halfway down his nose and an unreadable expression upon his face. He barks in his typically gruff voice, "Hurry in the room and take a seat. Don't dawdle and lollygag."
He scratches his belly as he watches the boys file in to the room. Despite their presence, he sticks his pinky finger into his ear, twists, and then pulls out the finger to inspect the yellowish golden sticky substance. He wipes it on the knee of his tweed suitpants and moves on to the other ear.
OOC: A head's up: this lesson is going to run over a few days. |

Garret wandered into the class, not really wanting to be there. When he saw that the professor was doing to his ear he almost turned and left. But he thought of the sort of trouble he could get into and walked to a table in the middle of the class. This is going to be a long day... he thought as he watched the old man work the other ear.

Cale walked into the classroom and sat down. Boy, he was ready for another lesson. They needed more points...points that would help Gryffindor win the cup. Which the needed, really badly. "Hello Professor," he greeted him, taking a seat near the middle of the classroom.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Mathilda Bennett First Year | Terrified of my Tag Rawr!!!
Jonathan nearly burst into laughter when the professor used the words "dawdle" and "lollygag" as the students entered the class. They seemed like such... childish words. However, the boy managed to restrain himself from laughing until he saw the professor examining his earwax, at which point he was so disgusted that there was no longer the presence of a need for laughter. Quickly, he scanned his notebook. Wesolowski? The guy must be Russian, or something, Jon thought to himself as he sat down in the middle of the classroom. Whatever Wesolowski's nationality may be, Jon would make sure he'd be impressed.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Kayleen A. Berg Third Year | ↑Lyrical Life beastie pwnage! Felix wandered into the classroom, dim eyes studying the professor. And at that same moment, The professor was digging deep into his ear, some-what in search of something. Felix coughed loudly, and pressed his lips in A hard line as he took A seat near A small hufflepuff boy, the edges of his lips twitched A he surpressed the urge to smirk.
"Evening, Professor,"

Hogwarts RPG Name: Daniel Sychev Jnr Fourth Year | Dan took one look at the professor and knew this would in some way, good or bad be a memorable lesson. He took a seat on one of the back rows, next to the window. He glanced out of it before taking out quill and parchment, waiting for class to begin. |

James came into the Arithmancy classroom. His mindset was a mix of optimism and pessimism. "This is not your strongest subject, but you can do this." he thought.
The Professor's attitude did not settle his nerves. As James entered he inclined his head at the teacher with a brief, "Hello Professor Wesolowski."
He found a desk in the middle of the room and sat down, putting his bag on top of it.

Ryan rushed into the classroom. Despite the fact that he hated, and was awful at, Arithmancy, he still wanted to be here. Ravenclaw needed points. And for some reason, sitting in the front row helped him learn, so he plopped down right in the front of the class. Middle, of course. He had to be visible in the "Teacher T."

Trey entered the classroom, scrunching his face at the display he viewed from his professor. Did he just wipe it on his pants? Oh my, he did, Trey thought to himself. Trey was having second thoughts of sitting in the front row this time, but he decided he'd continue this trend.

Will entered the classroom and sat down in a seat near Trey. He smiled and nodded, being careful not to talk- this professor was new to them and after Lord Borr he wasn't sure what to expect.
His nose wrinkled up in distaste as he saw the professor diggin' for gold in his ear canals... Disgustin' leapt to new heights as he wiped his treasures on his suit. What was it with the ministry professors and bad personal hygiene!

Entering the classroom, Nico nodded at Will and Trey; taking a seat next to them. He narrowed his eyes slightly when he recognised the professor he had 'met' on the first day.
"Good day, Professor." He nodded, recoiling slightly as he recognised the disgusting substance on the Professors clothing and promising himself that he would not get any closer to that than was absolutely necessary.

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] Shel entered the classroom, looking around, his eyes stopping at the professor, and his eyebrows then rising so high that they were in danger of disappearing into his eyebrows. Ministry approved class. Hmph!
He took a seat next to Cale, nodded politely to his friend, and waited for the class to begin. He wondered where this was going, and what would happen.
Something good, hopefully. |

| Heart of a Claw Austin entered the Arithmancy classroom. It had been his favorite class last term, but was doubtful about how well he would enjoy the class when he saw the ministry approved professor.
He sat in the front of the room, and noticed that he was sitting next to Ryan. Austin said nothing because the professor did not seem like one that would tolerate any chatter, but instead gave a weak smile. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sirius Potter Fourth Year | Gryfflepuff Remy took his seat after entering the class room. He pushed his hair out of his eyes. He was not thrill to be in class, which was quite unusual for him. A good student, Remy hated two subjects, Divination and Arithmancy. It wasn't that he couldn't do the work he had good marks from the class to prove he could but unlike most of his courses this one did not come easy. He had to really work to understand the principals and to do complete the assignments. He would need to find someone to study with again this year.

Upon deciding that his ears were clean enough, Chester Wesolowski gripped the armrests of his chair and attempted to push himself up. He didn't generate enough momentum on the first attempt and needed to try a second time before finally lifting his rather rotund body from the chair. Straightening out his jacket and hiking up his pants to his chest, Wesolowski didn't even notice that his pants looked like they were ready for an impending flood. And gosh! The man had forgotten to wear socks with his loafers! Boy, were his feet going to stink! The students better hope he didn't walk around the room much...
Chester leaned forward, his hands braced on the top of his desk, and surveyed the room. Satisfied with the gathering of young men, Chester began the lesson. "Good morning men. You, unlike your peers, are quite smart. You were wise enough to recognize that Arithmancy, and more specifically Arithmancy taught by someone so intelligent and successful as myself, is important to your education. Excellent decision!
"Now, many of you are probably wondering, 'Where did this amazing man come from and what brought him to teach us here at Cooper's School?' Well, let me tell you. I, Chester Wesolowski, was born in Poland many years ago and attended the former Hogwarts School as a youth, where I excelled in Arithmancy from the get-go. To get ahead in school, I calculated the Arithmancy profile of all of my professors and played to their personalities. It earned me prefect and then Head Boy. When looking for a job after leaving Hogwarts, I calculated the Arithmancy profiles of every person who interviewed me prior to arriving for the interview and made sure I told them everything they needed to hear from me. Quite clever, don't you think? You'd be smart to do the same...
"Anyhow, after working for other men for a few years, I realized I was much too talented to work for someone else and I started my own accounting firm. I have been an accountant for all the Wizarding businesses in London for many many years now and even assist the Ministry in dealing with the Wizarding community budget. That is what brought me to this establishment. Minister Cooper knew of my skills with the numerical arts and requested that I bestow some of my knowledge on you." |

Nicholai listened carefully to the professor; who sounded like another Lord Borr to him. He wondered idly what Professor Wesolowski's Arithmancy Profile was; and whether the member of his house would be able to tell him everything he needed to hear. Sitting straight in his chair he watched the Professor, keeping his disgust completely to himself and deciding he would learn as much as he possibly could from 'this amazing man'. He allowed an expression of avid interest to creep over his face; wondering idly if he had already calculated all his students Arithmancy Profiles...

As James listened to the Professor's speech, he tried not to breath. As Wesolowski stook up a fowl odor spun in the air. "Poor Ryan. He probably shouldn't have sat so close. He's getting the most of the Professor's stink." he thought.
As the Professor concluded his speech, James had mixed emotions. After consideration he was at least glad that they had been given someone who knew how to teach his own subject. However, calculating people did not sound very pleasant to him.

Cale nodded as the professor spoke, pretending like he was listening intently. Really, he was thinking, Yes, that's all great and everything, but are you going to start teaching us anything?
He turned to Shel and raised his eyebrows, giving him a ready for this? kind of look.

Iggy looked up from his textbook. This guy was more of a joke than Borr. But at least he pulled it off with style. This was a fellow Potter could get used to.

Josh stared at the professor from the back of the room as he sighed. blah blah blah blah. maybe he could calculate how much of a dork he was as he babbled on about his amazing life. Sounded a boring to him...oooo look at all the numbers! Snore. josh adjusted another chair and put his feet against it. He propped his head against his arm as he had a feeling this was going to be a very long class. What was it with these ministry people and bragging. he looked around the room for a moment....Nope. No pillow. Guess he would have to do with out.

Who might you be?" he asked at a whisper. He was more interested in this boy than the lesson. Since Arithmancy was his worst subject.
