Dropping his hand, he wiped it on his robe. Sweaty. At least she thought his name was interesting. Perhaps he'd gotten past the point where people tried to shorten it or rhyme it embarrassingly. "It's Welsh," he mumbled. "Means 'immortal.' It was my great-grandfather's name."
He pushed the book off the table, recognizing that he wasn't going to get to read it discreetly, and bent to put it in his bag. As he straightened up, he hit his head on the edge of the table. Crack.
Maybe he could just hide under it for the rest of the lesson.
"Immortal, huh? Funny thing to name a human..." Seeing as humans were generally mortal. Unless you drink some icky potion or something equally unethical.
Ellie stifled a laugh and turned away. She saw nothing if Emrys didn't want her to.
Just as the guest teacher super-pink lady spoke. Lucky timing.
Text Cut: Poppy likes us?! Nooooooo *whaa*

She stepped in front of the class with her hands folded in front of her and a smile as she waited for them to shut their cute little traps. ”Hello, sweet little creatures, and welcome to the third seminar course of the year. This time you will be learning about Entrancing Enchantments. Oh, but before we get to that, I am Poppy Prunella Pricklepot, Madam Poppy to you all, or Auntie Pricklepot. That works, too.” She giggled and began to pace around the classroom.
”Now, back to Entrancing Enchantments. Who can tell me what they are and what they do? If you don’t know anything about them, just think about what they are called and try to make a guess!” It was just about as obvious as what they learned in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. She swished her wand and the words “Entrancing Enchantments” appeared on the board, yes, in pink. She giggled and smiled at the students, hoping they would answer sometime in the near future because she was already getting tired... and bored. Good thing she had a tea cup set and cookies, that could help her pass the time and make things a little more interesting... For her, at least.
As if the pink weren't enough, her name was just as much of a headache. Poppy Prunella Pricklepot. Teaching 'Entrancing Enchantments'. Alliteration must run in the family or something.
Ellie wasn't too fond of addressing her by any of the suggested titles. So, she was just going to avoid talking to her directly if she could.
"Spells that cause someone to be 'entranced' by the caster?" Yes? Seemed like one of the more obvious types of spells.
