| | HOM & Muggle Studies-A Night of Magic ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The History of Magic Classroom has once again taken on a new look since the last lesson! The HOM and Muggle Studies Professors have joined together to create a full theatre stage at the front of the classroom. The chairs in the audience all have fold out desks for the students to use.
On the stage, there is the usual HOM charmed chalkboard that Professor Cerulean uses at every lesson. There is a spot light shining on the chalkboard. Scattered around the stage are objects and tables covered with white and black table cloths to keep their secrets hidden. Each hidden object is spotlighted with a different color spotlight. These hidden objects are of different shapes and sizes across the stage.
Please feel free to sit wherever you would like. As you come in, please grab a drink and a magic themed (top hat, rabbit, star shaped) cookie from the table as you enter the theatre/classroom.
Professor Cerelean has written a message on the board that is enchanted to scribble out in a curly but readable handwriting and stay for a few minutes and then erase and start again: Quote: Abracadabra...Alacazam!!!!
Welcome to a Night of Magic!!!!
Please have a seat and grab a cookie and drink as you enter! Professor Cerulean is no where to be found, but remember she is watching. OOC:
Please come in and have a seat. You may chat but keep it to a minimum. Remember that when class starts, you need to cut out chatting. Also don't post yourself coming in late, Gemma hates late arrivals and will not give you a warning, she will deduct points from the first time you are late.
I'm going to give you a few hours to get settled so I'll see you a in a little while!!! *huggles you all* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*Lesson Quick Links*~ (Will be updated as we go so you can find the Professor's links quickly and easily)
Please feel free to catch up at any time during the lesson. I don't mind if you post with answers to all of the missed questions at once or if you just wanna jump in where we are at and catch up later or just jump in where we are at. Whatever you want to do is fine with me....JUST don't post yourself coming in late to class that's a NO NO!

Selina walked into the classroom quite tired and fumbled for a seat. As she walked in the room her hands traveled around for a seat until she found one and plopped down. The seat was nicer and comfier than usual. Her eyes shot open at the contact and saw that she was in a theatre! What was she doing here, why was she here.... was this the right room. Then she saw the board and relaxed. She had the right place... she thought.

Aurora slouched into the classroom. Her two least favourite subjects (other than flying) thrown into one. She was staring at the floor and scowling until she noticed the luxurious carpet. She looked up and gasped, this sort of thing still amazed her, even if it was only magic. "Woowww, it's so pretty!" she breathed. She read the blackboard and took a drink and a top hate shaped cookie before sitting near the front, gazing at the beautiful theatre.

Presley walked into the room, and glanced about curiously. She'd thought it strange when she'd learned that the lessons were combining, but this was even stranger. There was a full theatre there. Presley smiled at the stage. It looked a little odd for a stage, like a place a magician would perform, and not a theatre group. Nonethelessshe skipped down the aisle to the very front row, exactly in the middle (she counted) and took a seat.

Lara was pretty interested in this double lesson. History and Muggle studies aren't her favorite sujects but this is going to be interesting! Especially that the lesson is held in a cool place.
So she entered with steady steps smiling as she saw the beautiful theatre. She knew that this is totally going to be the coolest lesson ever. She looked around and saw that not many students have arrive. She chose a seat in the middle and sat looking around her to find the Professors who are no where to be found.

Helena was sleepy. Very, very sleepy. And it was definitely not a good thing. Like... try to mix History with her mood.
However, as the girl entered the History of Magic classroom, her jaw was about to drop. Literally. But it didn't. Only her eyes got really wide, once she stopped in the door. She kind of figured out that professor Cerulean liked to change, more or less, the look of the classroom, but this was...
... unexpected. Really.
She took a seat somewhere in the back, well... middle, and kept her bag on her lap.
Who knows what was going to happen. And was professor Zookara joining them too? Hmmm.

Gwen walked in the room quickly and looked around. ‘Good d..’, she started saying, but immediately stopped, noticing Professor Cerulean wasn’t there. The ravvie found a seat somewhere in the middle of the class and kept scanning the place. What the lesson was going to be about was quite... normal. Magic? Isn’t that what we always do? Hmm…

| ♣ Heejin here | Did somebody say coffee & cakes? | cat lover ♣ Jonathan hastily went to the classroom, into thinking he's already late. His clock got broken the other day and he feels that without his trustee watch he has been running late all the time.
Upon reaching the classroom, he's not yet late but the interior once again shocked him like the last time.
What the heck is this???
Jonathan took a seat in front. This looked very interesting. VERY interesting, He tossed his bag on the side and sat down on the comfortable chairs. This is really new to him. "Abracadabra?" He read the words written on the board. He certainly did not know what that word means.
Sounds like Avada Kedavra to him.

It was one thing to be all by yourself in an empty room, and a wholly other thing to have people around, and be alone. For this reason, Presley almost died with relief when Luna showed up.

Caroline walked into the classroom. Stopping dead in her tracks when she realized that the classroom wasn't a classroom it was a Theatre. Interesting very interesting. Yep, she would be sitting in the back of the room today. She was kind of hoping that this lesson would be interesting. We'll see. She walked to the back of the room and plopped down into the seat. Mmmmmmm comfy. She could almost fall asleep.

Presley grinned. Maybe they were going to learn about the theatrical muggle history of magic? Presley was always up for learning anything about the theatre. She didn't know much about wizarding theatre, but she could recite as if from multiple textbooks, a history of muggle theatre and it's development from before the time of the Greeks. She knew in her heart that they probably wouldn't be acting, but maybe they at least got to learn about it? This would definitely be a class for Presley to show off, and she was psyched! "Probably not though, I mean, how many kids here do you think can act?" Presley surveyed the group, none of which had chosen to sit in the front besides her and Luna and one other. Her tone wasn't rude or condescending, it was a legitimate question. Odds were most of the students weren't really interested in it at all.

Luna enjoyed acting she did it in her old school play's and movies and exersises ''Oooh that would be fun'' said Luna smiling she agreed that they probably wouldn't ''Yes I suppose err my best guess would be like eleven'' said Luna then laughing

Ariella entered the HoM classroom, excited for another lesson. She stopped in her tracks. Where was she again? Yes, she thought this was the right classroom. But it seemed that she was standing in the middle of a large theater.
She checked her map again. Yes, this was right. They were going to be on stage today?!?! She squealed. Ariella loved acting, theater, and any kind of thing involving a stage.
She scanned her eyes around the classroom, looking for Professor Cerulean. But she didn't seem to be there. Strange.
Ariella grabbed a drink and a cookie and flopped down into a very comfortable chair, excited for the lesson.

| OH HAPPY DAY! A STAGE!
Was it time for Lexi's close up? Was this her time to shine? HUZZZZZAH!
nearly running to the front of the classroom she took a seat in the vair front and sat with rapt attention. She didn't even care that there was cookies nearby. She had no need... what she DID need was to be on that stage performing for her adoring fans. Cheah.

"Do you act any?" she questioned, realizing abruptly that she didn't know. Luna at least seemed excited at the prospect of this lesson, so that might mean she was into theatre, or it might mean she was willing to try something new. You never knew. Pres had been in theatre herself since she was old enough to toddle, and even a little bit before then.

Eino made his way to the History of Magic classroom, hoping to see that same Slytherin girl. He had freshened up and even applied cologne! Well, moke urine, but it smelled surprisingly nice. As he entered the room he already expected it to look different, so he wasn't surprised when he turned the door and beheld a new sight. He was, however, unsure of where to sit. He wanted to take a seat in the front row, those were the best after all, but if he did he wouldn't be able to see that Slytherin girl. Plus, she wouldn't be able to see him, and he had combed his hair, so. After standing by the door deliberating he shrugged and made his way to the front. He cared more about class, anyway. Learning first, and whatever it was that had made him comb his hair and apply moke urine to his skin, was second. Once he sat down he looked around nervously before settling down and waiting for class to behind.

Nika skipped towards the regular classroom with a HUGE smile on her face. History of Magic is supposed to be a boring class, but not anymore. Their new professor made it so much fun! First a party then a pirate ship and now... A... Wow! thisis awesome. She grabbed a few cookies as she ran towards the very front and took a seat in the first row. She didn't want to miss out on the fun!

| Like a Domino ♥ Karma Kimalia ♥ ♥ Taco Bell ♥ Sorry for party rocking
Kimalia was impressed, first it was a house warming party, second it was a rocking pirate ship, now it appeared to be a majestic theatre. She took a cookie and drink from the table that was offering it. "This really is nice." She walked over to a seat near the front row. Apparently it was combining Muggle Studies this time, she wondered if there were going to be two teachers this lesson or not.

She was wiping the sleep from her eyes as she stumbling into class. When she finally blinked away the grogginess and crud she rocked back on her heels, "What is Merlin's frilly pink undergarments?" she asked walking down the aisle toward the stage. Was she in the right room. She had stumbled into the wrong place before. That never ended well, believe you me.
Well if it was the wrong room she was staying for whatever was going on. She picked a seat on the second row and looked around to see if anyone else knew what was about to happen.

"Whoa, this looks spectacular! Is there going to be a show or something?!" She saw the chalkboard ahead of her and read what was being written and was a little confused. What did Abracadabra mean? And Alacazam? Violet noticed the cookies and gasped again picking one up in the shape of a star! Violet took a bite out of it and then began to wander through the theatre to find a seat, but then she found a girl with curly red hair she knew. She quickly ran over to her and sat next to her and threw her arms around her squealing,"Sely!! Yay!"

Isobel walked in to the classroom and stopped short. What had happened to it? The History of Magic classroom seemed to be taking on a lot of different looks lately. Humm. Isobel looked around and-OMIGOSH the curtain was purple! And sparkly! "It's pretty," she commented to no one in particular and sat down right in the front.

A stage? Oh, Merlin A STAGE!!!!! Finally that seemed entertaining. Hmm what was the professor planning with being in a theatre. As she walked in she looked around looking at the nice seats and holding a top hat cookie in her hand she sat down looking at the stage. She was going to sit by Violet but she already had some company so Elektra quickly walked away from that row and sat down in the third row up in the front and started to eat her top hat cookie. She got comfortable in her seat and she could only imagine what was going to happen in class today.
