Professor Hadley stood casually by the doorway, listening to their chattering incessantly about the trophies and plaques in there. Some seemed rather eager to look and hoped to find some familiar names in there, whereas others ... were ready to leave.

Soon. This part of the lesson wasn't that long. Just a brief walk to stretch their legs and show them some families...

"Dead... Dead... Dead" he reached one where the name was barely visible. "Henery Govr- Dead." he didn't even need to read it... just the dirt on it told him that the person was dead. "Certainly Dead... Dead... Probably Dead." he reached another name, which he couldn't read. "Alive?....... Nope, Probably Dead." He reached one that looked rather clean. "Professor... is Wenston Kilt-a-poodle dead?" Jacob had to sound it out, and the name still sounded stupid... Why would Wenston Kill a poodle? Why Wenston? Why?!
But what was the Ravenclaw captain doing? OH! He actually had the right idea!!

"As evidenced by Captain Blunt here, while there are a lot of recent trophies in here, there are also many old and dusty ones... with names who are just that... names." Josephina paused, letting this sink in as she searched for more words. "Soon those names will become a distant memory. Just etched onto a piece of wood, in which no one will remember the name. Because the person has LONG graduated. The person is long gone. So what is the point of these awards then? Symbolism? To show that yes great things will come, but we won't always remember the reasoning or even the person behind those great things."

"The family names that you calculated of course, back in the classroom," Professor Hadley said simply. "Those numbers each have interpretations." Honestly, was the Gryffindor like sleeping or something in class?


SPOILER!!: Josh and Evelyn

Hehe. That was a good one. Seriously...

Raising a playful brow, Josh turned away to face her and spoke right after giving her an obvious and quick once over. ''I was thinking of 'The One to Get Most Detention Experience' but what you have said is good as well.'' Still smiling at her which was probably a very familiar sight to the snake girl, the boy took a few steps forward and stopped right in front of her. His brown gaze landed on the Slytherin crest on her robe then at her beautiful face. ''You don't expect me to believe that you think they were ONLY mere interruptions, do you? I guess not.''

In the next silent moment, Joshua kept his expression same as he glanced in her lovely hazel eyes ''There's a flaw i have seen though.'' were the words he pronounced to go on with his speech ''I could not see a good enough place to put your trophy. Maybe, we can get rid of that Triwizard one for it. That'd be perfect for you.'' again nodding kindly, he turned to walk away but the next moment faced her back as if he had remembered something at the last instant.

''And let me tell you what is yours before you ask.''
The Gryffindor's smile widened a little and he began to walk around her in a circle without moving his gaze away from her, taking a single step at every word he uttered. ''The-Prettiest-Smartest-Most Elegant-Strongest-Most Appealing-Coolest-Most Gifted-and-Capable-Hottest-Most Beautiful-AND-Most Adorable-Girl-Who-Ever-Took-A Step-Into-The Boundaries-Of-Hogwarts'' then he stopped before her again ''Evelyn ROSE Flores Shepard of Slytherin.''

Did she need more compliments? He was not sure but perhaps those were enough just for now. For a seperate moment looking at a nearby student, Josh took a slow breath and once his attention was back to her, he slowly approached to her ear and whispered ''I hope you'll have a very happy and perfect life with whomever you'll marry. But...do never forget that i LOVE you.''

And finally as he slowly retreated, the lion boy stopped just for about a second and kissed the spot on her cheek very close to her lips, VERY briefly before taking two steps back.

*Ahem*

While he could still look at her, his hand went to his pocket and grabbed the other peppermint. Of course, after another wink to the Slytherin, he threw the mint in his mouth and not walking away this time, in case she would like to slap him, he just took a decent place next to her and pretended to be very interested in those trophies before him while enjoying the sweet.

It was still a mystery, though, how many times he needed to sacrifice himself in such situations to prove his love to her.

He had invaded her space once for today, so he was pushing his boundaries with going for a second time. "Either way, you'll win both." She smirked, ignoring his somewhat rhetorical question. He answered his own question, so, it was best she didn’t give her own opinion on it.

Taking a deep breath, she held it in for a moment as he continued, before her gaze moved back to the trophies and letting out that breath slowly through her nose, keeping an open ear to what he was saying. Place her trophy? Not noticing that he was walking away, her hazel eyes settled on the tri-wizard trophy, tilting her head to the side just a tad. Huh. She was pretty annoyed that Huffie dude had won. Though, it was better a Hogwarts Champion then a Beauxbatons Champion.

Blinking finally, finding the Gryffindor boy suddenly in her vision, she turned her head as he walked around her until she couldn't turn it anymore, and by then, she whipped it around to keep her gaze on where he was, taking a small step away from him as she did so. Just so she could see him properly and not at a weird angle. Yet, he continued to circle her. And continued to…continued to name a rather long, surprising, and pleasant to hear…trophy. With her name on it supposedly. In fact, her cheeks may have turned a rather rosy red that would put the flower itself to shame. However, there was no smile on her face, nor any other expression to indicate what she was feeling.

Tensing slightly when he came nearer, Evelyn stared at a nearby Gryffindor trophy as he whispered in her ear, only to cause her to blush just that much more. Darn blushing! It should never exist- oh. And that was a surprise. Was that supposed to be aimed for her cheek? Or...

Staring at him, still with no expression other then the obvious red face, her gaze flickered around the area, going from trophy to Josh to trophy and back to Josh again a few times before it finally settled on the Gryffindor boy. Hmm. Taking a step forward, she too placed a very brief kiss on his cheek, though there would have been no confusion as to where it was supposed to go. "That would be one big trophy." she muttered, smiling just barely for a second, (if you blinked, you'd probably miss it), before walking back towards the door. Kinda done with trophy site seeing now. Was class supposed to end soon? 'Cause she totally needed a calming draught right now.


Speaking of Gryffindors ... UM what are you doing Josh Carter?! If Professor Hadley didn't know better, she'd think he was still set on trying to win over the hand of Miss Evelyn. Haven't you enough brains, Carter?! She's not interested.

Or ... what? She kissed him back on the cheek? Oh you two ... Just because you're older, doesn't mean you can focus more on yourselves than on the lesson. Even if you don't find the lesson interesting.

"Miss Flores-Shepard and Mister Carter. Detention. Both of you. Next Tuesday."



And now that that was settled, back to wrapping up this lesson. Err... what she was saying? Totally forgot here. Oh right... death. "Because as I was saying, unfortunately, we're all going to die eventually and then, what does it matter how many trophies or awards you earned? Or who scored the most touchdowns points in a quidditch match? The thing that really will matter is if you've had a successful life. Have you met your personal goals in life? Have you fulfilled your destiny? Your life's purpose?"

Letting these questions mull over their brains, she sighed. "If you've had enough the trophy room, you're dismissed and may return to the classroom to collect your things. If not, you're welcome to look around as long as you'd like or even calculate some of the family name numbers you see there. Homework will be posted on the notice board for you and due before the next lesson."


ooc: Just a quick note, the classroom door is closed, but will open to your touch. Don't do anything disruptive in there... Or else. ;D
