Zhenya looked up and saw someone who needed a group, by the looks of it. She smiled and waved her over, hoping she might join in with her on her... single table.

"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

Zhenya didn't raise her hand or say anything. She had absolutely no idea what Alchemy was, what it was used for, HOW it was used... she was totally clueless. She pulled out some parchment and her quill with some ink and started writing down everything people were saying. Whether they were right or wrong, it didn't matter, she would cross it off. She was interested in just learning WHAT it was, and she knew she would leave the class knowing that much at least.*

The third year had smiled at her former Charms teacher and was now sitting at a table with Zhenya. "Hey!" she said quietly as class was about to start. She was actually glad to be back in class, which was surprising, even for her. She had had enough surfing, swimming, and tanning. Wow had she really just thought that?

She focused her attention back on the Professor, eager to start learning. But unsurprisingly the first thing was a question. Great. Which was fine except she had almost no clue what Alchemy was. Really she should know.. but as the Professor said, this was an advanced course.
Soo what was the purpose of Alchemy? She took out a quill and parchment scribbling it down. She looked over at Zhenya with a questioning look. She'd feel better if her friend was as lost as her.

But suddenly her hand raised almost of its own will, seemingly eager to pitch in after so many months. She was shocked when the teacher called on her, as she hadn't planned on answering, but quickly threw out something, "Oh, um, the purpose of Alchemy is generally to change ordinary metals into more extraordinary ones, right?" where did that come from, and why did she rhyme? Eh, well apparently she knew something.

"Hey Desiree," Zhenya whispered, waving to her friend who was at her table anyway. She was SO HAPPY Desiree was back at Hogwarts.

"Good to see you, Miss Gardiner." Althea smiled at the Ravenclaw girl. "Thank you, Mr Foster. Congratulations on the badge. Well deserved." Althea responded. "Good Morning, Miss Burton. Yes; professor is just fine." Althea smiled at the Slytherin. Someone looked enthusiastic today. "Good morning, Miss Castell." "Good Morning." Althea greeted the Slytherin girl. "And you, Miss Hollingberry." Althea smiled encouragingly at the prefect. "Good Morning." Althea greeted. 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. "The badge is a good look for you, Mr Rasting." Althea greeted. Was that stutter new? "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. Aw. Althea returned the smile. "Mr Kim, you're looking well. Good to see you." 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." "Miss Reed. Just for today." She smiled briefly and watched as the girl sat down. "Thank you, Miss Bishop." Althea inclined her head gracefully. "Good to see you too, Mr Jones." Althea smiled at the Hufflepuff. "Good Morning." Althea greeted courteously. She didn't know who this one was. A transfer? "And you, Mr Kobe." Thea nodded at the Gryffindor. "Thank you, Miss Lockwood." Althea greeted. 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." 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." "Good Morning. Miss Potter, thank you for the warm welcome." Althea said to the Hufflepuff girl. "Good Morning." Althea said with a smile. "Hello Mr Katharos." Althea greeted and then smiled softly. "Just for today, dear." "Hello." Althea replied. "And you, Miss Hyde." The GOOD Hyde.. "Good Morning, Miss Talbot," Althea greeted. "Nice to see you too." Good bloody thing that he didn't. Good thing indeed. "Good Morning, Mr Vanderbilt" Althea greeted. 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. "Good Morning." Althea greeted. "I'm well. I hope you can say the same." "Good Morning, Miss Dixon." Althea greeted, watching the girl sit down. "And you, Miss Wilson." Althea smiled brightly at the young Gryffindor. "Welcome." Althea said, noting the Gryffindor boy come in. "Hello Mr Gunter." Althea greeted, happy to see the young Hufflepuff. "Its still Professor Schirmer." She assured him. "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. 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." "Good Morning, Miss Greingoth." Althea greeted. "Thank you Miss Campbell. I hope you are well." Althea replied. "Nice to see you too, Miss Skylar." Althea greeted. "Good Morning, dear." Althea greeted the first year. She looked enthusiastic. "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."
