| Hello lesson that's starting *waves* Super Slytherin Buddy | | ⅓ She-Snake Trio | | a normal girl with normal knees Quote:

But she recognized him.
He was Flamsteed, she remembered meeting him at the kitchens. Anyways, she looked at Romanos and greeted "Hello professor" and with that she went to find a comfy seat. "Good morning, Miss Doherty." Medea smiled to the Slytherin girl. Quote:

Something told her that the lessons really were supposed to be more theoretical right now, not for them to be going in already planning on having to use them sometime. In any case, she was even okay with doing yoga again, as long as people didn’t crack again. That had been scary, even though Beezus had been fine, and the lessons that had been after that had gone okay too. It didn’t look like they were going to be climbing walls again, at least, as she’d stepped into the room only to see the yoga mats and tiny desks back in place. Except for a couple differences, namely the little pillow things attached to the mats now. That and the professor lying face-down on the floor in front of Professor Romanos, but she decided to ignore him for now. She didn’t see any cats around, so she figured Professor Flamsteed was fine.
Well, he’d be fine if the prefects didn’t cast Bombarda Maxima on him, but that was between him, the prefects and Professor Romanos. “Hi Professor Romanos!,” she said to the DADA professor, carefully stepping over the other professor on the floor on her way toward an open mat. She didn’t think he’d appreciate a boot in the side or anything, and as far as she could tell, she managed to get past with no incidents. Therefore, she settled onto her chosen mat, sliding her bag underneath the little desk thing as she leaned back onto the pillow a little. She might as well be comfortable before the lesson began, and she found herself watching the stiff Astronomy professor for reactions. There was probably going to be some reaction if the DADA professor allowed the spells to be cast, at the very least. She wasn’t about to miss that. Another familiar face to enter the room, leaving the warm and welcoming smile still seen upon the professor. "Good day, Miss Quinn." Quote:

Those pillow mat things looked pretty comfortable too. Another motivator maybe? Work hard, and maybe they'd continue to have these in the rest of the lessons. That would be good.
But...why was there another professor lying there face down on the ground? Was he trying to be one of the pillow mats? Was this part of the lesson? Hmm... "Hi, Professor," Penelope greeted Professor Romanos before glancing at one of the pillow mats and then at the professor on the floor. "Can I sit on him instead?" Because if he was trying to be like the mats, she should test if he was comfortable like they were, right? Made sense to her. "Good morning, Miss Greenvell." she said light and cheerfully, almost in what could have been a singing tone. Oh, but the Gryffindors request's, there was a moment of silence while Medea...tried to wrap her head around it. Penelope wanted to sit on their Astronomy professor?
...Well, she didn't particularly see a problem with that but, "Ve're going to start soon, Penelope. Best you find a mat before they're all taken." Quote:

Oh and, "Hi professor Romanos." West said casually.
No bouncing today. Oh, where was their energetic Slytherin? "Good morning, Mister Odessa." Medea greeted with as much welcoming warmth and light-hearted tone as she did with the other students. Quote:

But it was talk of what the other students were suggesting to do that made her uneasy for the fate of her newfound friend... er... professor.
Nevertheless, she knew... or at least hoped, that the Astronomy professor had his wits about him, and so, as she crossed to her desk on the right side of the classroom, she had to acknowledge him. But what to say... She quickly filed through her list of potential witty comments, and rested on "I didn't know you admired the color purple so much, Professor."
Seriously. What was wrong with purple?
Kanna adjusted her shiny Ravenclaw tie as she sat down and pulled out her class materials, and as she tucked her bag under her chair, she chuckled very quietly at Professor Space's antics. What was he up to...? Purple?
Was that to...her? Or to...Airey?
Medea glanced down to the Astronomy Professor. Hmmmmm. Quote:

OhLookit!
There was cushion-y stuff now!...And Professor Flamsteed...okay then. She wouldn't exactly question it, everything usually had an explanation so she'd just wait for this one. In the mean time. "Hello Professor!" She said, beaming over at her DADA Professor. The woman was already getting into that yoga stuff...it was kinda expected. "And Hello Professor Flamsteed, are you here to learn about protecting yourself from the dark arts too?" If he needed a lesson then she didn't think she felt very safe knowing he was one of the people in charge of her safety. "Good morning, Miss Cambridge." Oh, what a good question for their guest. Yes, was he here to learn too? Quote:

When the Professor went to tell her to take a seat and relax, Violet paused looking down at the Professor on the floor for a moment, bringing her finger up to her lips and biting on it briefly, I suppose from being nervous, but then she nodded and then began making her way towards a mat on the floor.
When she sat down she got herself settled and then went onto to answer the Professor's next question,"It was quite enjoyable if I must say.." She smiled a little bit and then asked."Did you enjoy your summer, Professor?" Her violet eyes slowly began trailing down at the Professor on the floor once more, but only for a brief moment. Then they went back to Professor Romanos as she waited patiently for her to answer her. "Quite positive." You know, it would be mighty welcoming if Airey twitched or something, to show that he was indeed alright. And not twitch in the way where it looked like he wasn't alright. Alas, Violet seemed to calm down a bit. "How vonderful." She said in reply to the girl's summer. "I did, yes. It was rather relaxing." Quote:

He had a map of the school.... where did that go?
His thoughts drifted momentarily to his nephew ransacking through his old things in the attic when he stopped short just beside the doorway. There was a crowd of students milling about the Defense Instructor. Although she looked to be ok-- exchanging snippets of conversation with some of the students. It was when he shifted his piercing blue gaze towards the ground did his brows crease up-- there was a man on the floor... and judging by the suit (as he seems to be the only one fastidious enough to wear it everyday)-- the Astronomy Professor?
He set himself aside against the wall, in case this was a teaching method of hers and he didnt want to interrupt that. Pleasantries can be for later, although he did try to catch the eye of the brunette woman, giving her a searching look if everything indeed was ok?.... or should he step in and try to help the other Professor too stiff to have fallen unconscious? She was expecting students, not adults, but than again, with the surprise of Airey showing up...doing whatever it was he was doing, this man shouldn't have been any different. Although, if she remembered correctly, she'd seen him at the opening feast, sitting at the board of governors table. His name however, had slipped her.
Well, if he wanted to join her lesson, that was fine with her!
Medea caught the look. She smiled with a shake of her head, mouthing 'He's fine'. Quote:

At least it wasn't the opposite. Granted, with the atmosphere her head was currently swirling on, she was all smiles as she entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
....New mats?
Oh. Why, it looked as though someone's paying their lovely Professor a visit. Hmm. "Hello Professor Flamsteed!" Beezus greeted the man with a slight nod. "And good day Professor Romanos." Will they be holding the class together? Or did the Astronomy Professor just want to watch and satisfy himself with Romanos' face. Gigglesnort.
Also...
Something might have occurred here before she arrived. Wonder what that could be..... Glancing down to her watch, she frowned and tapped the glass. Ahem, had the time gone by that fast already? Oh! "Good morning, Prefect Castell." Her smile brightened a little more. "Congratulations." Quote:

"Hello Professor." she said enthusiastically with an American accent "I'm Augusta Yvette le Blanc de la Valliere." She always got a look when she introduced herself, but it was a noble's namesake so what could she do? "Please just call me Augusta." Oh, what a mouthful of a name. And accent? Didn't have too many of those around here. Honestly though, Medea was a little glad that the young Hufflepuff said to call her just Augusta. "It's nice to meet you, Augusta." she smiled, glancing down to her watch again. Yup, it was indeed that time. "Why don't you take a seat? Ve'll be starting soon." Quote:

He tried to hide his surprised expression and noticed that Professor Romanos was there, still in her yoga position. "Hello, Professor Romanos." said him politely. Then he took a seat at the corner and tried not to laugh. One of the remaining badge students to show up. "Good morning, Mister Rush." she smiled with the usual warm and welcoming smile she had during the beginnings of her lessons. "Congratulations on Head Boy." Quote:
Originally Posted by Macavity Defense against the Dark Arts was the latest class on her schedule.

So she felt she had a disadvantage having not been surrounded by parents and family doing similar spells in front of her growing up. Her grandfather had taught her a few things but she was likely still a year behind students her same age.
Making her way to the classroom, the first thing that she noticed was how different the room was set up from the rest of the areas she had been in so far. Mats and cushions and smalll desks denoted each space rather then table and chair. What WOULD they be doing today? Something normally done it appeared since most of her fellow students entered and took a seat without much qualm to anything. So Ellura opted to follow suit, spotting both defense professor and another adult near the front of the space. "Hello Professor....Professors," she greeted politely and correcting herself when she identified the laying man as another professor. The Gryffindor then moved to find and empty mat and took a seat down upon it. Oh, another new student. Medea had to try and remember the girl's name for a moment. Names were fine. Names to faces however...a little more difficult. "Good morning." she smiled, deciding that she'd catch the name of the girl later. Quote:
Originally Posted by Luna_Midnight As Nerida arrived she took a sigh of relief..It was nice to know she was not late...She hated being late.. Seeing Professor Flamsteed on the ground, she asked "Is Professor Flamsteed all right?" Was it okay that she kinda wanted to prod him with a stick to see if he was okay. Hearing some of her classmates joke about pouring stuff on his suits...
She wondered if he would stay on the ground when he heared those. She smiled over at Professor Romanos and said "Hello Professor Romanos, hope you had a great summer." She looked down at Professor Flamsteed and said to him as well "Hello Professor Flamsteed, I hope the same for you as well." After saying hello to both of the Professors, she found a free mat in the front and took a seat on it. One more glance to her watch. It was about time they started.
"Good morning, Miss Eventide." she smiled towards the Ravenclaw, adjusting her position on the mat to become a little more comfortable. "I did haff a good summer, yes." Although the question to be returned wasn't going to happen. Class had to start.
Taking out her wand, she waved it towards the arena doors. They slowly closed shut. Any stragglers, she would know. Taking a deep breath, she cleared her throat quietly. Time to switch accents and talk normally. Well, as normally as she could for the students to understand. She was getting better! Honest!
"Alright, it's about time for us to start." she spoke up, waiting for the talking students to hush down. "I hope you all had a good summer. Today will be more theoretical based than practical to wake up those sleepy minds of yours." Ahem, they fall asleep on these pillows, they were going to have a cold wake up call. "We'll be covering a topic that we have gotten to in the past with spell practice, but never really talked about." Pausing for a moment, she sighed as her gaze unwillingly landed on the Astronomy Professor.
"We do have a guest with us today. You may recognize him as your Astronomy professor; Professor Flamsteed. He's...erm..." Just WHAT was he doing!? She bit the inside of her cheek, trying to figure that out. Invading her lesson, that's what he was doing. With a flick of her wand, a chalk board in the corner of the arena rolled it's way to the front of the class and stopped behind her. The chalk on the board floated up, beginning to write seven letters: DUELING
"Can anyone tell me the definition of this word?" Just ignore Professor Flamsteed for the time being.
