So she used to be a Charms Professor here?
"Good morning, Professor Schirmer," she said, politely, and sat down. "Good Morning." Althea greeted. Quote:

In any case, it didn't really matter what subject the lesson she was heading to was about, she was just happy that she'd get to see Professor Schirmer again. It was almost like things were normal again, besides the fact she hadn't been outright insulted in History of Magic. She had every right to look forward to this lesson.
"Good day, Professor Schirmer," she said to the former Charms professor with a smile, making her way carefully to a seat at one of the tables set up in the Astronomy tower. At least it looked interesting, although she followed rules and didn't touch any of the apparatus. She wasn't about to risk trouble. Even if there hadn't been the announcement that points would be lost if she had. There really wasn't any question in that matter, and she wasn't about to start making a bad impression on the professors now. As far as she was concerned, Professor Schirmer still was one of her professors, whethe ror n ot she'd moved on to a position at the Ministry. "Good to see you, Miss Gardiner." Althea smiled at the Ravenclaw girl. Quote:

Wasn't that pretty different from Charms..? Heh. Well. It appeared that Althea Schirmer was a woman of many talents. Paulie filed into the classroom early on and gave a nod toward the blonde woman on his way. "Welcome back, Professor," he greeted before claiming a seat at Miss Stella Gardiner's table. With a smile, Paulie gave a curt wave toward the Ravenclaw. "Hey, Stella! Long time, no see." He opened his mouth to speak again, but Professor Schrimer began to give a brief introduction, so the Gryffindor kept quiet. Well, well, wellllllll. Hopefully this would be fun stuff! "Thank you, Mr Foster. Congratulations on the badge. Well deserved." Althea responded. Quote:

"Hello, err, professor," she said. Was she still professor? Well she could t very well change her title.
She took a seat on a table and waited for people to arrive. "Good Morning, Miss Burton. Yes; professor is just fine." Althea smiled at the Slytherin. Quote:

So here she was, skidding up to the top just to attend the optional class. Before entering, however, she adjusted her robes and smoothed her hair. She also did want to look decent to the instructor since most of them are just invited by the Headmaster to aid them in the seminars. She was even lifting her chin up high like what her Grandmother always says is the proper behavior of a lady, yet when she saw who was welcoming the students, her etiquette vanished and she scampered off to the lady immediately! This was such an amazing opportunity!
Their class...at the Observatory...with a great Professor.....
"PROFESSOR SCHIRMER!" Yeah, she did say that in a not-so-low voice. Gaah, can she hug her? She missed Professor Schirmer! She'd be the one teaching them the basics of Alchemy, yes? She was getting excited over this. Allowing herself to be guided inside, she listened for a bit as Professor Schirmer said a bit of an introduction while she stood at the side of the door, looking for a vacant table. Hmm...at least two but less than five on each table. She certainly hoped Indy would come.
When the lady was done, Beezus walked to the table NEAREST to the Professor and with a smile plastered on her lips, she waited. Someone looked enthusiastic today. "Good morning, Miss Castell." Quote:

With this in mind, Emmanuelle walked into the room that had been set aside specially for the lecture and was instantly mesmerized by the scrolling text. Or was trying to read it, more like. She shook herself out of this when the lecturer professor began to speak. Then she quickly found herself an empty table, hoping that the seat beside her wasn't taken by a young pipsqueak. Ugh, they were the worst! "Hello, professor!" "Good Morning." Althea greeted the Slytherin girl. Quote:

If reality was even the right word. Entering the room cautiously, Kurumi couldn't help but wonder if the laws of Equivalent Exchange was based on actual fact or just something fabricated by the authors she had come to admire.
It wasn't the slightly unusual set up of tables and what was on it that first caught Kurumi's attention, but the woman standing in the front. "Professor Schirmer," Kurumi chirped as she adjusted the strap of her bag and took several more steps into the classroom. "It is fantastic to see you again, professor." Kurumi set her bag on the ground and took a seat in the front of the room just as the former Charms professor provided a brief introduction. It was almost as if she had never left and Kurumi really wished that she hadn't. "And you, Miss Hollingberry." Althea smiled encouragingly at the prefect. Quote:

"Well hello professer Schirmer" Charlit said. "Good Morning." Althea greeted. Quote:

Sounded a bit clever for his liking.
As he entered and sat down at an empty table, his eyes travelled to the notice on the board. Do not touch the stuff, again.
fjsopdfopsdfsdkf.
That just made him want to touch it more, did the professors not understand this?
"Hello, professor." He said, eyes wandering elsewhere. Ah. A first year. "Morning." Althea smiled at the boy. Yes she was in a smiley mood. It was going to be a good day, and she was getting her pockets lined for being here. Couldn't complain really. Quote:

Which was one of the reasons the Hufflepuff Prefect was quite happy as he walked into the observatory/classroom.
The other reason was already sitting at a table in the front of classroom.
Smiling at Kurumi he took a couple of steps towards her which was right when the professor addressed the class. That voice sounded so familiar. Lewis turned his head a little to see who was standing there at the front and felt his eyes widen slightly in surprise. "P-professor Schirmer. Hello." What was she doing here? "G-good to see you." And sorry I didn't actually SEE you up until now. Not too keen on standing while everybody else was taking a seat, Lewis hurried towards the table Kurumi was at, a small blushing forming on his lips, and quickly sat down next to her. "Hi." He smiled, brushing his fingers over her hand for a moment before moving to unpack his bag. Actually what did they need for this class? And what were all those items on their table for? "The badge is a good look for you, Mr Rasting." Althea greeted. Was that stutter new? Quote:

"Hi professor Schirmer, good to see you again." And really this tone was the best Louisa could muster at the day.
Moving on toward the seats she... saw a certain Huffie & Gryffie... side by side. Happy. Louisa's face stayed blank as she saw them but she did feel slightly uncomfortable? Since she, y'know, scolded the girl and made the boy even more awkward. The Ravenclaw shifted her eyes off of them and threw her body on one of the random seats. "And you, Miss Carter." Was it just her or was she a little.... off? Oh well, Thea wasn't a counsellor. On to the Alchemy. Quote:

This is why Jonathan went to this lecture for today. Learn about new things. He knew about alchemy and alchemist but not as much, so this is really such a big opportunity for him. He's not really doing anything for today anyway.
Walking to the classroom on the tower... yes from the dungeons to the seventh floor, Jonathan was still panting at the long way up. Before going inside the classroom, he still tried to fix himself, make himself more presentable for class. And as he he walked inside he saw a very familiar professor--- well, ex-professor of Hogwarts.
PROFESSOR SCHIRMER!!!!!
She was back... Not entirely for the whole year but at least she was back. Jonathan walked inside the room and he was still at awe that he is seeing Professor Schirmer again. What? He missed her in Charms class. So she'll be teaching them about Alchemy, Jonathan can no longer wait. Oh and before he forgets, Jonathan smiled at her "Good to see you back, Professor Schirmer" yes, he was just all smiles seeing her.
Jonathan found a seat on one corner of the room and slid his bag, placed them on the table and waited for the rest of the student body to come in so she can start the lecture. Aw.
Althea returned the smile. "Mr Kim, you're looking well. Good to see you." Quote:
Originally Posted by RachieRu Indiana didn't know if she was going to get the subject. She hadn't actually heard of the subject before. But Professor Schirmer was teaching it. And that meant Indy had to go. Even though she wasn't teaching at Hogwarts any more she was still Indy's favorite teacher. Charms hadn't been the same without her here. So Indy was pretty excited that she was here. Hopefully she would kind of get the subject though, but that would just be a bonus really. The girl smiled as she wandered up to the observatory. It was nice to be up here again, she had missed it since it had been closed. Mmm. Alchemy. It could be interesting.
Ahh. There she was. Indy had to stop herself launching at the Professor. She was a big girl they didn't do that anymore. But she did want to hug the professor. She had missed her. Without really thinking about it, because really hugging Professor Schirmer probably wasn't the best of ideas, Indy was over there, and hugging the professor. Oh dear. This could really go bad. Like the professor could like kill her. Or tell her to go away. Opps. "Hi Professor..." Indy mused with a little smile, as she looked up. "I missed you..." If she was cute the professor wouldn't kill her right. "I don't like the new charms professor, she's not as good as you. Can't you come back? Please come back." Hmmm. Then she kind of stepped away. Should she sit down now? Um.
Hugging.
Well Indy was damned lucky that Althea just so happened to be in a good mood. She extracted herself and gave the third year a stern look.
"Now Miss Hutchinson that isn't at all a nice thing to say. Perhaps you ought to give Professor Bellaire a term to settle in. She has plenty she can teach you, if you keep an open mind." She considered taking points for that, for disrespect toward a professor, even if it clearly wasn't meant in a mean way, but the Ravenclaw seemed genuinely distressed.
And why in the hell would Thea take a pay cut to come back here?
"Sit down Miss Hutchinson, I don't want to hear any more of that." Quote:

The shock came when she stepped inside the classroom and saw professor Schirmer there! "Professor! You're back!" Big grin. For some unknown reason, Nora missed her, since the new Charms professor wasn't quite her favourite and, even though she sometimes found professor Schirmer rather... scary, she enjoyed her lessons.
With that sheepish, big grin still on her face, the girl took a seat in the front row and stared. She didn't dare to touch anything, but staring was allowed.
... wasn't it? "Miss Reed. Just for today." She smiled briefly and watched as the girl sat down. Quote:

After a very long trek up to the towers from the Hufflepuff common room, Ella finally arrived and smiled, surprised to see Professor Schirmer back at Hogwarts. "Hey Professor, welcome back." The second year said cheerfully before her attention was caught by the board. Noting not to touch anything, Ella set off for one of the empty tables. "Thank you, Miss Bishop." Althea inclined her head gracefully. Quote:

So many stuff is going through Nate's head. He walks over to the table where he sees one of his friends, Ella. Before he sits down he says "Hello Professor Schirmer. It's good to see you again." Then he takes a seat next to Ella. He says "Hey Ella. I'm glad to see Professor Schirmer again." "Good to see you too, Mr Jones." Althea smiled at the Hufflepuff. Quote:

It was fairly obvious she was joining them. Them, because her own House Prefect was there too. Louis, was he? She couldn't recall. "Good morning," she said, with a smile, as her eyes landed on the one imparting this lesson before making her way towards Kurumi and company. "Hi Kurumi," another smile went towards the Gryffindor, "And Louis," because that was his name, no? At least it sounded like it was.
Once seated, she was extremely impressed with this woman. Like, she was incredibly awesome, wasn't she? Look at everything she's studied. No wonder everyone was missing her. "Good Morning." Althea greeted courteously. She didn't know who this one was. A transfer? Quote:

He laid eyes upon the professor, to see that it was his Charms Professor. He really liked Professor Schirmer, probably one of his favorites. Professor Schirmer had told them that she now works for one of the departments in the ministry of magic. Some department, that took two years to pronounce. He gave a head nod to Professor Schirmer, making eye contact with him. "Hello Professor Schirmer, good to see you again." "And you, Mr Kobe." Thea nodded at the Gryffindor. Quote:

Hannah didn't see any familiar faces so she just grabbed a seat at the first table she came to. "Thank you, Miss Lockwood." Althea greeted. Quote:

"Hello Professor Schirmer its good to see you again. How are you?" he asked the professor.. he always wanted to know how everyone was.. it was his thing to ask everyone how they are and that included the professor. She smiled at the Ravenclaw boy. "I'm well, Mr Watson. I hope you're continuing your extra work with charms." His enthusiasm had never gone unnoticed. "I could recommend a few books, if you like." Quote:

He hoped because he had never seen anybody do it so it would be a surprise and a shock if somebody did. It trapped in his thoughts he found an empty seat and went to sit down Hmm. Could SHE do alchemy or could people in general do alchemy? Althea smiled at the young Ravenclaw, a first year she assumed.
"Good Morning. Perhaps you'll be able to come to your own conclusion by the end of the lesson." Quote:

She quickly entered the room, spotted the Professor and quickly walked up to her. "Hello Professor Schirmer. Welcome back to Hogwarts. It is so good to see you again. I'm really looking forward to being in your class again." Alyssa smiled at the Professor before turning around and finding an empty desk and sitting down. "Good Morning. Miss Potter, thank you for the warm welcome." Althea said to the Hufflepuff girl. Quote:

Noticing the small group around Kurumi she smiled and made her way to them, "Mind if I join the group Kurumi?" "Good Morning." Althea said with a smile. Quote:

"You're ...clingy..." he said to her the moment he was near the front as well and only then did he realise who the woman that was going to teach their seminar lesson , was. Ah right. Now he got why Indy had been so clingy, at the feast she had told him that she missed the old Charms professor. "Hello Professor Schirmer~" ooooh look at that! he had her name right woohoo! "Are.. " the boy bit his lower lip for a second before letting out a small sigh. "Y-You're not *really* back, right?" He had only told Indy this so far but his two favorite subjects were the professors that had left. Charms and Astronomy. Ah well, maybe the new one wasn't so bad either. She HAD given him a golden star hehe. "oh , Indy! can i sit with you?" the Slytherin asked after a quick bow to the Professor and followed the Ravenclaw. "Hello Mr Katharos." Althea greeted and then smiled softly. "Just for today, dear." Quote:

Alchemy was something she had skimmed in her anti-social reading in the library and it had spiked her interest at least. It wouldn't hurt to learn more about it in case she did find it more interesting and might want to further her studies in the future.
Entering the observatory, she took in everything and headed for a table. Seeing her former Charms Professor, she offered a nod and smile. "Good day Professor Schirmer, it's nice to see you again," she voiced as she headed for a free table. She had recognized a few people, but didn't want to completely intrude so she headed for a table that was empty and hoped that someone would join her in time. "And you, Miss Hyde." The GOOD Hyde..

Alchemy sounded so exciting.
When she entered, she was glad to see who would be teaching it. "Hello Professor Schirmer. Nice to see you again." Silvia didn't know that the former charms professor knew alchemy; but then, she had only studied under her for one year and therefore didn't know her that well. Silvia took a seat at one of the desks and waited for class to begin. "Good Morning, Miss Talbot," Althea greeted. "Nice to see you too." Quote:

He entered the classroom and set his sight on someone familiar "Professor Schirmer..." surprised? yes but a good kind of surprised. well kinda. "Welcome back." He wanted to ask her what she did to his favorite Astronomy Professor, rumors being rumors and seeing what they had, or didnt have, in the current schoolyear, but he decided he should find a seat first.
Ah, theres one next to the Ravenclaw Prefect.
He slid into a seat and gave his fellow Claw a polite smile, then prepped his notes-taking stuff on his desk. Good bloody thing that he didn't.
Good thing indeed. "Good Morning, Mr Vanderbilt" Althea greeted. Quote:

Your teaching this seminar..I mean Hello, hope you have been well.. I.. miss you." She couldn't help, bu to be excited to see her old professor. She liked the new charms professor, but it just wasn't the same. After embarrassing herself in front of the professor she quickly looked around and found a seat near Harvey and Alyssa. Well that was enthusiastic.
"Hello, I have been well." She smiled at Minerva almost fondly. "I hope you're working hard in your new professor's classes." As hard as she had for Althea. Quote:

Originally Posted by ortalismusicoh This class seemed like it was something you had to attend, if you chose not to, you'd clearly be missing out.

The red head was fairly keen on learing about Alchemy though, it seemed interesting yet it looked difficult too and Nessie didn't know much about it at all. But that was the exact reason she was here, to learn more and surely with Professor Schirmer here, it would be an outstanding lesson.
Now standing in the classroom, the Hufflepuff looked up at the board and read it what it said. So they'd have sit in groups for today. That seemed alright, except where to sit? Maybe alone, and then wait for someone to come? But who would come? Probably not Angelo ,her boyfriend, he was too busy to come to these things. Hmm..Nessie's lips formed a pout.
Where to sit? Where to sit?
There was a spot! Renesmee then saw the Ravenclaw prefect sitting with some other boy. They would't mind right? She hoped not. The badger gave a small nod to Professor Schirmer and then walked over to where Louisa and whoever this boy, were sitting. She put on a small smile. "Mind if I sit with you?" she asked them both a little shyly. "Good Morning, Miss Dixon." Althea greeted, watching the girl sit down. Quote:

And she had heard that Professor Schirmer was to take this seminar. And yup, Ira did like her. So Ira trudged, with her bag on her shoulders, towards the Astronomy tower, excited for the seminar on alchemy.
Smiling, she made her way in and greeted her former Charms Professor, "Hello Professor Schirmer! Nice to see you again!" Yup, it really was. "And you, Miss Wilson." Althea smiled brightly at the young Gryffindor. Quote:

Chris smiled to himself and muttered to himself, "This couldn't be better; today's even my birthday!" Today, November 8th, 2077, he was 14 years old. He sat wondering if he should go talk to somebody; maybe he could make a new friend... He was at a table all alone... "Welcome." Althea said, noting the Gryffindor boy come in. Quote:

Who was the Instructor, she seemed very familiar...Professor Schirmer! He said aloud to confirm to himself that it was really his former Charms Professor. I-I mean, hello Professor Schirmer...or is it just Ms. Schirmer now?Or was she a Missus? He wasn't sure what to call her, she wasn't technically their Professor anymore but she was teaching them again...This was all very confusing to Oakey.
Oakey began looking for a table to sit at. Should he start his own table or join some friends? His eyes wandered around the room for a while until he finally settled on sitting by himself first. If someone wished to join him or asked him to join He wouldn't hesitate to comply. "Hello Mr Gunter." Althea greeted, happy to see the young Hufflepuff. "Its still Professor Schirmer." She assured him. Quote:

Greeting the professor with a "Hello, professor," he found himself a seat at the furthest point from Louisa and her group. No, he didn't want any contact with her, if possible. Looking around, he wished they were allowed to sit alone. He worked much better alone, though alchemy was nothing like herbology and he was looking forward to the class. "Good Morning, Mr Neves." Althea greeted. Yes, she could say his whole name, but she wouldn't unless the young Slytherin -who somehow reminded her quite a bit of Dash- actually requested her to do so. Quote:

Why didn't he get the memo that Professor Schirmer was going to teach this?
He made his way to a desk, and smiled at the professor. He was glad to see her. "Hello, Professor Schirmer," he said. "It's nice to see you here." And Charms wasn't the same without her. He still had the charmed pup from the egg experiment and he changed his name to Schirmy...after her, you know. Oh one of her faaavourites! Not that she'd say so out loud. She smiled almost warmly at Kennedy. "Nice to see you to, Mr Escalante." Quote:

Stepping into the class and seeing Prof...errr, Miss? Anyway, Schirmer, she suddenly felt this weird sense of alternate reality.
This woman had once been her Charms professor, and then she'd come to eat one night at her house, and now here she was standing in front of a class about to teach Alchemy. Wandering throughout the room, Sierra passed by the woman and decided to speaking. "Hello,...." she said. She hesitated, trying to think of what to call her, and decided in the end to just say hello.
Then she turned and headed to a table. "Good Morning, Miss Greingoth." Althea greeted. Quote:

Aaaaall the way from the kitchen levels, Sophie wondered what they would be talking about. Surely they wouldn't be able to learn everything about Alchemy in ONE seminar... and it was all so complex and full of details. How would it be possible to learn ANYTHING in ONE seminar anyways?? That made Sophie even more excited for it.
She entered the room and looked around, There were a lot of people int there already! That would be fun. GAAAASP! Professor Schirmeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!! Sophie smiled widely at the woman who had taught her the very first spell she had ever cast! And Sophie loved Charms, so that meant a lot. Buuuuuut Sophie knew how professor Schirmer was, so she just waved happily at the witch. "Hi, professor Schirmer! Welcome back!" And she turned around to find herself a seat.
THEODORE! She rushed towards her little friend. "Hey, Theodore! Long time no see!" She said sitting down next to him. All these classes and homework were keeping Sophie from seeing all of her friends! She didn't like that a lot, but what could she do? "Thank you Miss Campbell. I hope you are well." Althea replied.

B-but she had left Hogwarts last term; what in Merlin's name was she doing back?
With a small smile on her face, she said, "Good day Professor Schirmer. It's nice to see you again." Then she nodded her head and went off to find herself a seat for the lesson. "Nice to see you too, Miss Skylar." Althea greeted. Quote:

Plus it was SO CLOSE to her common room!
WIN!
The first year bound in and picked a seat with the most interesting of items. She eyed them with glowing interest. "Hi professor!" She waved at the woman and swung out her legs. She was getting sooo good at waiting for lessons to start. "Good Morning, dear." Althea greeted the first year. She looked enthusiastic. Quote:

The second year briefly paused at the door before entering and bursting into a great big grin. "Hello Professor Schirmer. I hope you are doing well." That had to be a surprise. The redheaded second year hadn't known that their charms professor from the previous year would be coming back...especially after what had happened at the closing feast.
But seeing as how the class would probably be starting soon, Lily looked around the room for a seat.
Then she spotted another Ravenclaw. Walking over, she smiled at the claw. "Can I join you?" After all, you didn't want to break the rules in this professor's class. "Good Morning." Althea greeted. "Hello Miss Potter, I am doing well. I hope you can say the same." She replied to the second year. "Alright everyone, settle down now please. Class is beginning." She flicked her wrist negligently and the door shut, and then Althea turned her attention to the students, waiting a moment to be sure she had everyone's attention before she began.
"This seminar, as you are all no doubt aware, is an introduction to Alchemy. First I'd like to say that Introducing Alchemy is difficult to do in one lesson, so we WILL be moving rather fast, and you'll need to do further research in your own time if you think it is a subject that will interest you." She explained.
"I'm not yet going to ask you WHAT Alchemy is, instead I'm going to begin with another question. Does anyone know, or think they know, what the purpose of Alchemy is? What are the goals of the Alchemist?" She paused.
"Its alright if you don't know an answer, as long as you take notes and listen. I'll be sure to clarify as I go." OOC: Class has started, you guys know the drill post as if you were already here -no late arrivals. Points will be given for active and realistic participation, that means if your charrie doesn't know an answer you can still earn points by RPing them listening or taking notes or being entirely baffled by everything 'cos Alchemy is totes overwhelming and all. There'll be a few hours to respond to this first question
