"I'm doing fine, thank you." she replied, though still...curious to know what the Hufflepuff had been doing. Running? "Oh yes, it's a good thing you are here. Vouldn't vont to miss today." Because it was an extra special day for...reasons. Looking up, she almost didn't see the Ravenclaw boy come in, his greeting surprising her for a moment. "Good day, Mister McCarthy." Seemed the final students were making their appearance. "Hello, Miss Delaine." A glance at her watch told her it was time to start the lesson... ...Though as she stood up, the last few students made their way inside. She smiled and nodded to each before her gaze settled on the young Gryffindor asking about the drinks. Now there would have been an idea she would have to save for later when those had Charms with Sophia after her class.
Nothing like giving the charms professor a bunch of students hyped up on sugar.
"Not exactly, Miss Cambridge." Medea chuckled softly, accent gone, as she stood in front of the stands where students from either section, and those standing or sitting on the cold floor, could see her. "Alright, I think now is about a good of time as any to start. If you haven't noticed yet, which I'm sure all of you have, we don't have the purple mats today. This is because..."
There was a moments pause where she stared at the students, and then looked up to the ceiling where every mat was accounted for, quite stuck. "They're a bit out of our reach. I'm sure our lovely polgergeist had something to do with this, but, instead of taking them down...I thought of something better we can do." Looking back down to the class, Medea grinned.
"If you're afraid of heights, you may stay on the ground, though I assure you, every precaution has been taken into mind for this. So, does anyone have any ideas on how we..." She gestured to them all before pointing to the ceiling. "...are able to get up there?"
Minerva followed her gaze up to the ceiling and that's when she saw them. Her mouth flew open... "Peeves" she muttered to herself. Why was he so annoying at times, especially this term it seemed. Minerva shook her head in disbelief and looked back at the professor. That's when she said it.. Minerva couldn't help but smile. Go up there to do Yoga.. That sounded so cool. She couldn't wait to do it, but how?? SPOILER!!: professor 2 Quote:

Listening to each and every idea, nodding here and there, her gaze settled on the fourth year Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Prefect. "Where's your sense of adventure? It would be just too simple and boring to let them fall down on their own. Though yes, normally, I would advise going the safest root possible when it comes to, potentially dangerous, situations..."
"Which, I must say, those are some good ideas given. I think Mister Gunter and Miss Branxton were closer to what I had in mind for today. We will be sticking ourselves up there, quite literally, and although it won't be because of a potion, there will be something you need to drink in order to keep the blood in your body from rushing to your head." Moving over to the two boxes, she scooted them out in front where all could see and opened them up. Hopefully none in front were scared of the eight legged creatures, for her mechanical spider scuttled out of one box suddenly and stood by Medea's feet. What was in the boxes though were what looked to be shoes and gloves. "And I thought, since we're up there, we might just have our lesson up there as well."
She paused and looked back to the class. "Again, it is quite safe, I promise you that. These shoes and gloves are sticky enough to keep you stuck to the walls. Trust me, I've tried them." Medea raised her hand up a little. Guilty! "But of course, I will be taking other precautions once we start getting up there. If you'd rather stay on the ground, that is perfectly fine. Being up there will give a different perspective that I wanted to aim for though, and surely something you wouldn't want to miss out on, but, that is entirely up to you. So, take a moment to think about that. If you would like to join me, take a pair of gloves and shoes and put them on. They'll shrink or grow to the correct size on their own so there are no worries about looking for a perfect fit."
"Also, mandatory for those going up, besides the gloves and shoes. Please drink one of the cups from the table over here, or you'll be coming back down to the ground every few minutes so your head won't look like a tomato." Professor Lafay was kind enough to help in the creation of the potions. The woman's ingredients were used in it after all. "Questions should be asked now, rather than later." OOC: If your character feels like going up, take a pair of gloves/shoes and put them on as well as drink one of the potions in the cups from the table, though do try to have them resist going all Spiderman in the class until Medea says it's okay. There is no problem with having your character stay on the ground as well. It's up to them after all!
We'll continue sometime around 7pm EST tomorrow.
Minerva couldn't take the smile off her face, this was awesome. As soon as they were given permission she moved to the front of the room and took a pair or shoes and a pair of gloves. Heading back to her place she sat on the cold floor and changed her shoes into the special ones feeling them shrink to fit her feet, then she placed the gloves on her hands. This was just to exciting and Minerva wanted to head up the wall now, but before she did she thought about the cup. Oh yeah.. better get that drink. She walked over to the cups and took one, drinking the potion quickly so she wouldn't get behind and be left out in any of the activities. SPOILER!!: Professor 3 Quote:

Well...not that she knew of at least. Placing her empty cup down to the side, Medea looked over to the Gryffindor prefect. Oh, had Kurumi misunderstood her? "A figure of speech, Miss Hollingberry." she grinned. "You won't actually turn into a tomato." Picking out a pair of shoes and gloves herself, Medea sat on the lower part of the stands again to put them on, flexing her fingers and toes afterward. "About..." she nodded her head from side to side as she stood up, looking around for who had asked. Ah, Daichi. "An hour and a half to two. Ve'll haff plenty of time."
Oops!
Accent slip. Medea...never heard of that before.
Then again, astronomy wasn't one of her greatest subjects. Though seeing the girl all excited about the prospect, Medea shrugged her shoulders up. "I don't know. Could be possible I guess..." The professor didn't particularly want to be any taller though. Rubbing her hands together, Medea reached up a little, stretching her back before doing so to her arms, shoulders, legs...just a little warm up. "I'd advise stretching a little, just to warm up your muscles. Don't want any cramping limbs while climbing. Even if you're staying on the ground." She noted a few who hadn't moved from their spots, which was no big deal! Whatever they were comfortable with.
Making sure her gloves and shoes were on tight, and with one last stretch of her arms, she made her way over to the left wall. Oh, sticky feet. Made it hard to walk a little. "And if you're ready, you can come on over here and..." Looking up the side of the wall, she reached up and touched her palms to the wall, before one foot connected...and then the other. The professor climbed just a little ways, peeling her hands and feet off the wall to reach higher than before, and when she was a good ten feet up, she turned around to face the class.
"As easy as walking." She grinned. "Go on and try. When you make it to the top, you can wait for me or...you can reach out and touch the ceiling until you're far enough out to connect your feet as well. Feel free to try standing straight when you accomplish that. Don't worry, you'll stick just fine."
Medea took out her wand, giving a flick to a section above her. A large net connecting from one side of the arena to the other slowly came into view, having been disillusioned before the lesson. Just a precaution.
Minerva looked around to see that some were not going to do the lesson with them. That was horrible, why wouldn't they want to have fun. She listened as the professor told them to stretch. She began to do some stretches, accidently getting her hand stuck a few times. Once she was done stretching she carefully walked to the wall. It took her awhile since her feet wanted to just stick to the floor. Once at the wall she took a deep breath and put her hand on the wall. It stuck pretty good. She began to climb the wall. This was so amazing. Once she had made it to the top she moved out on the ceiling still crawling. Minerva found a mat and placed her sticky feet on it. Looking down she got nervous. That was so weird seeing the floor and some of her friends on the floor. Closing her eyes she breathed in and then pushed her hands off the ceiling. Standing straight up she looked around.. Oh this was beyond awesome...
