No use complaining about that for now!
Lex shoved the last bite of her chocolate frog into her mouth as she arrived at what she assumed would be the classroom for today. OH and there was the Professor!...Wait...was she the first to get here...?
"Hello Professor!!" She gave the woman a wide grin before plopping down on a bench just bouncing slightly from all the sugar she'd had on the way down. There was another chocolate frog in her pocket...she...she kinda wanted it now, especially after seeing what was left of the ice-cream the Professor had been having. "Are we all having ice-cream once the lessons over?"
Peyton had just swallowed the last of her delicious ice cream cone, when she heard the rather loud greeting of the first student to arrive. She glanced at the girl, slightly wide-eyed, and said, "Hello, Miss Cambridge." Her again. The one with the kneazle who'd gotten himself in a stew. Ice cream? "You can if you want to," she said with a shrug, "but you'll have to get it yourself. It's served in the Great Hall." Text Cut: PotterHeadforLife Quote:

It definitely wasn't going to be a Governor right? Hopefully. She saw a lot of them last term already and she didn't have time to see them again.
Kat went over to the sort of classroom. Makeshift and all, because they were outdoors. The prefect made her way there and saw Lex. Hmm... how interesting. She was one of the first students here. "Hello, Professor," Kat said as she saw the woman there in front. She was familiar and Kat recognised her as the lady who walked passed the Slytherin Table during the feast. Yeah, that was definitely her. Who else would it have been? Kat just needed to know Professor who she was. "Welcome to Hogwarts." She wasn't sure if she was an alumna here, so that was okay. Then she went to take a seat on one of the benches. "Hello," Peyton simply said. She had no idea what the girl's name was, nor did she have some magical roster that'd differentiate one student from the other. They'd find out names in all good time, though. "...and thank you."

Which was a shame really...
Derry made her way through the grounds, humming softly to herself, until she reached the outdoor classroom thing... Was everyone just living off ice cream nowadays? Derry never ate the stuff... she didn't eat broccoli either, which made eating pretty difficult around here. "Good afternoon, Professor." she said, sitting on a bench and waiting for the lesson to begin. Was it afternoon? Or was it classed as evening? Derry couldn't tell... "Good afternoon," Peyton replied.

Oh, and this was a class with a new professor. "Hey Professor," she greeted her with a smile. "Welcome to Hogwarts." Even if it probably wasn't quite as great as it had been in some aspects. Hopefully that didn't affect what creature they got to learn about in this lesson...
It seemed she was also pretty early to class too since there were only a few others there at the moment. Interesting. She wasn't often this early, but she went ahead and sat down on a random bench. "Hello," she said, "and thank you." She was getting a lot of welcomes, which was nice, but she should probably tell the students she, too, was a student here. One proud former Slytherin standing right here in front of the class. She'd tell them all at one time, though, once class started. Text Cut: Emzily Quote:

"Hi, professor." Professor who's name we didn't know. Did he need to introduce himself? Eh, he would later. For now, he had to inspect a tiny smudge of dirt under one of his nails. "Hello," Peyton said. She raised her eyebrows ever so slightly when the boy suddenly turned his attention to his fingernails. Children could be so strange at times... Text Cut: hpfan18 Quote:

As he made his way to the benches and sat down, he smiled at the professor. "Hello Professor, what ice cream flavor are you eating?" he asked curiously. "Hello," Peyton said. "It was just regular vanilla." She shrugged. no big deal. They could all get some right there in the Great Hall if they wanted. Text Cut: CassiopeiaAKTF Quote:

When he arrived, he saw that he wasn't the first and quickly joined the rest. He placed his school bag beside a random bench and turned to find the new professor when he saw her.... It...it was that woman he had been eyeing at the feast. that sounded wrong..ehm Staring!... even worse..ehm...politely looking?
GAAAH!
Checking if his Prefect badge was pinned right to his uniform, the Slytherin walked to the front. Unaware of how red his cheeks were from blushing. "Uhm..hello..welcome to class..HOGWARTS! i meant the school not class, well the class as well since ..yeah"
He took a deep breath when he noticed he was rambling again. "Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor" he finally corrected himself. "Well, I certainly hope I'm welcomed to my own class," Peyton said with a smirk. "...but thank you." She gave him a raised-eyebrow expression then turned to look at a different student.

POSITIVE THOUGHT... Professor was a girl. SO at least Ascanius would have something to pay attention to during the lesson. Ahem. Technically it wasn't his fault. If male Professors were remotely interesting Ascanius wouldn't have these problems. But see, they weren't.
Stepping into the area where they were holding the class he saw an EXTREMELY attractive older woman eating some ice cream. Jeez. This whole school must have had something in the water. Every FEMALE Professor he had come in contact with was a Grade A Hottie. Not a frumpy woman in sight. He was being rewarded for something. He had to be.
Smiling all wide and stuff, Ascanius approached his Professor and said, "Good morning, Professor." Eh, why not. Tack it on? Sure, he could do that. "You look lovely today, by the way." Truth.
Now it was time to find a seat. "Good afternoon," Peyton stressed. Then she glanced down at her attire, wondering what was so lovely about the type of outfit one would typically wear while out in a barn working with creatures. "...and your nose looks a little brown today." Text Cut: Meizzner Quote:

He even forgot that there was a new teacher this term for the class. "Hello, Professor". Nigel greeted her politely. He did wish he had some ice cream. It did look good.
He went to sit on a bench. Wondering what creature they would be covering today. "Hello," Peyton replied. Text Cut: Bubbles Quote:

WAS THERE MORE?
Did she have a super secret, hidden bin of ice cream SOMEWHERE? And could Peyton have ALL of it? Green-gray eyes watched steadily as the professor finished off her ice cream cone. "Hello Professooor. I'm Peyton Baltazar," she greeted, showing her pearly white teeth with a smile. With introductions out of the way, she asked nonchalantly, "Just out of curiosity, is there more ice cream?" And could she have some...
...PLEASE? "Excellent name," Peyton commented, "and I'm Professor Peyton Barlow." More ice cream? What did the students think she was, a house elf? "There is, but you'll have to get yourself in the Great Hall." She hadn't brought any to class. Text Cut: natethegreat Quote:
Originally Posted by natethegreat Nate was very happy today. It was nice, beautiful, there was only two things that made Nate's mood worsen even the slightest bit. One was the fact that now they had to pay to get into their very own Common Rooms! Which made no sense. In Nate's first year magical creatures were attacking the students. The next year a crazy, youth stealing three hundred year old witch suddenly showed up out of the blue. Next year there was a new headmaster, and something about a spirit. After that year nothing really happened other than a Board of Governers Election. Now they had to pay to get into their own common rooms?! It was like there was some sort of plot going on here. The other thing that bothered Nate is how this time the class was held during the afternoon. Normally it was held in the morning, or EARLY afternoon.
As he noticed the people with the Professor Nate said "Hey Professor. Welcome to Hogwarts. I hope you like it here." He said with his most cheery of voices. "It's good to be back," Peyton replied with a grin. Text Cut: amadshade Quote:
Originally Posted by amadshade Who was the professor fot his class again? Tora thought it started with a D... no wait B! It was Barlow, or so she was fairly certain it was. "Hello Professor Barlow" she said mumbling the last name just enough so it could be mistaken for something else if she didn't actually have the name right. "Having a nice day?" She vaguely wondered how this teacher would act. So far Tora only really liked Professor Airey and she was unsure where she stood with the other professors yet. Well, there was only one way to find out!
Tora was glad they were outside without the confining walls of a classroom. She breathed a small happy sigh to be finally out of the small spaces. She walked over to one of the benches towards the right and plopped her bag down next to her. She took out her notebook just in case she would need to take notes and started humming quietly to herself the theme from the old show, Downton Abbey. Not really sure what made her think of it just then, she just did.
Hmm. This one was good with names. Either that, or she knew how to pay attention to details. She was a Ravenclaw, too. Go figure. "It's been a pretty good day," she replied. Text Cut: lemondrop13 Quote:

Peyton eyed the newest arrival, noting that she didn't bother to speak. Peyton paid her back with the same respect, too. That is, she ignored her and turned to the next student. Text Cut: Yourenodaisy Quote:

But... It was twilight, and he was heading down to the barns for class. And there probably wouldn't be dragons. Seeing the new Professor Lady, he gave her a smile. "Hi, Ma'am." he said, as he found a seat.
"Hello," Peyton simply replied. Text Cut: hermionesclone Quote:

Because the only thing he really knew was how to feed his pets and look after them. But... magical creatures were different, yeah? Which was why this subject was so 'uh-oh' for him.
Digging his hands into the pockets of his trousers, the sixteen year old continued wandering down until he reached a particular area near the barn and the sanctuary where the class must be being held. Because... well... why else would benches be put up randomly with students and the new Professor there?
And speaking of new Professor... WAS SHE EATING ICE CREAM? Or... finishing. But STILL!
A BIG WIDE SUPER GRIN spread across the Hufflepuff's face that reached his grey-blue eyes. It was as if someone was holding up a sign that said 'FREE ICE CREAM' or 'FREE PUPPIES' and were handing either one of those things out. And he probably should greet the woman instead of just grinning cheesily at her instead of mentally adding her to the awesome Professors list....
OKAY. "Hello Professor!" he said cheerily, "Erm... welcome to Hogwarts!" Not wanting to seem any more creepy than he was probably coming across -- BUT THE WOMAN HAD ICE CREAM -- Alec walked over towards the bench Kaiden was sitting on and sat down next to him, the grin still spread across his face. "General Kaid!" Dude got a grin and a nod.
Also... when was ice cream dinnertime, again?
Peyton just stared at the boy, wondering why in the name of Merlin he was just grinning at her and saying nothing at all. "Hello," she finally said, "and thank you. It's good to be back." Text Cut: thestoryneverends Quote:

She walked outside and found her "brother" talking to an older guy. Hmm, this person was certaintly not a student. This must be the new professor. Wow, the medium sized girl could be Sherlock Holmes! (insert sarcasm button here)
Her older Pain in the Neck seemed to be in a good mood, and to her surprise, she was as well. Her hair wasn't a frizzy mess, she had a good breakfast, and the weather wasn't all horrible. In fact, the eleven year old made it a goal to stay happy all day, and she was going to reach this goal. Even if it meant keeping her mouth shut for a while at some point.
"Hey dude." She walked up to Nate and twirled a pink highlight around her pointer finger. Waiting to be acknowledged, she pushed the rest of her blond hair over her shoulder. Gross, it was kind of dry. It was amazing what a few weeks at Hogwarts could do.
Whatever. She'd find someway to fix her hair. Maybe then she could fix her social life, her knack of getting in trouble, her previously horrible grades (middle school wasn't easy for her) and her big mouth. Get some sass out of there too and she'd probably be a model child. HAH! Like that'd ever happen. OOC: I'm guessing by 'older guy', you meant my professor character? If so, she's a female. She's actually the woman in my siggy. 
Then another student entered, another student who didn't bother to speak. Peyton inwardly shrugged it off. Meh. Text Cut: FearlessLeader19 Quote:

As he approached the class, he was just in time to see the Professor, Professor Barlow, if he remembered her name right, finishing an ice cream cone. "Ice cream! And she didn't even share with me!'' he thought, jokingly. "I muuuuust have some when I get back to the castle!'' Yes, he must! Who cared about food when there was ice cream around, anyway?
"Good day, Professor,'' Jory greeted the woman. "Welcome to Hogwarts! I'm Jory Stonewall, final year rabid Badger!'' Grin. He now hurried off to take a seat on one of the benches, but his mind was now back on ice cream. "I feel like having tons more chocolate flavour!''
Blink. Wow, such excitement to be a Hufflepuff. Peyton blinked again. "Well, congratulations on your final year," she said. Merlin only hoped he'd take it down a notch once class started... Text Cut: TakemetotheBurrow Quote:

Oh, Kaiden and Alec were here. She'd sit with them, yeah?
Taking the seat on the bench next to Alec, the blonde leaned and greeted the two boys quietly. "Hey Alec, Kaiden." Grin. Did they see the ice cream too? "Hello," Peyton remarked. Text Cut: Sonea Quote:

But, she tried to do her best and this year would be the same.
“Hello Professor” said Sonea friendly and smiled at the teacher before she searched for a place to sit down and wondered where this lesson was about. "Hello," Peyton said. Text Cut: Harry174 Quote:

"Good Evening Professor" She smiled. Well that was what this time of day was, it was getting later, almost dinner time in fact. "Good evening," Peyton said, although...it was more afternoon if you asked her. Meh. It didn't really matter. Text Cut: emjay Quote:

His eyes found the new CoMC professor and he gave her a nod in greeting as he watched her.. eating an ice cream cone. Somehow that struck him as odd, but he didn't give it a whole lot of thought. "Hello, Professor," he greeted her as he walked past. "Welcome to Hogwarts."
Turning to find a seat, green eyes scanned the area. Vaguely familiar faces present so far and he gave a small smile to any of them who might have caught his eye in his search. Soon finding an empty bench, he lowered himself upon it, placing his messenger bag on the ground next to him. "Hello, and thank you. It's good to be back," she said. Text Cut: Bumblebee Quote:

Locating a place to sit he didn't want to be alone so he placed his turtle backpack next to him to save a seat for his new found bff, Peyton. "Good day," Peyton replied. She simply eyed the turtle...er, boy...as he took his seat. Text Cut: Charely Potter Quote:

Hmm.. that ice cream looked good. Wade smirked, he was definitely going to have dessert later when dinner time came. Approaching by where the new Professor sat, he greeted her, "Hello and Welcome to Hogwarts, Professor." Giving her a smile before continuing his way onto a empty bench to sit at, letting his bag rest by his legs on the ground. "Hello, and thank you," Peyton said. Yeah, she really had to let them know she was an alumni of this very school. It was at least a good start in their direction, though. Text Cut: Goblinfrog Quote:

I do believe my friends are quite jealous of you at the moment." He said with a warm smile as he nodded at his Professor's ice cream cone. "They're ice cream addicts, and they must be staring longly at you. Hope today's class will be interesting." The little gryffindor concluded as he went around to go find a seat for himself.
Jealous of her?
Peyton's ego rose a good ten degrees. Of course they were jealous of her. Oh, wait--he meant because of the ice cream? Meh. "Well, they can get some themselves as soon as class is over. I got mine in the Great Hall." Text Cut: Cassirin Quote:

Merlin, he wanted some ICE CREAM.

Making her way down to class she noticed the new professor and smiled, "Hello ma'am, I'm Minerva Wheatborn, welcome to Hogwarts." As she greeted the professor she saw exactly where she was going to sit out of the corner of her eye.
Turning she headed straight for the open spot on a bench next to a certain Ravencalw. Smiling and saying quick hellos to other classmates, she finally turned to Ethan, "You keep getting to class first.. I'm starting to think I'm rubbing off on you a bit." She smiled and then turned to get ready for the lesson to start. "Hello, Miss Wheatborn," she said. Well, that made two names she now knew. "...and thank you." Text Cut: Hermione Lily Potter Quote:

So it was safe to say that the fifth year claw was curious as to how long this professor would last.... and whether or not this professor would be nice.
But it didn't take long for this professor to make a good impression on Lily. What professor would feel comfortable to eat an ice cream in front of a class and not be nice??.... Actually... don't answer that... Lily wanted ice cream now. Instead, she just grinned at the professor and gave a small greeting before finding a seat. "Hello Professor." "Hello," Peyton said.

Always glad to be out of doors and breathing fresh air, Eliza had a sparkle in her eyes and a bounce in her step. She was having another good day. In fact, she'd been having a lot of good days this term, which was slightly unusual, but she wasn't complaining. She walked over to the makeshift seating placements and waved to new professor as she approached. "Hello, Professor. It's nice to meet you," she said with a smile. "I'm Eliza Dawnsel." She didn't feel the need to tell her she was a Ravenclaw, since her robes pretty much did that for her.
Turning in a tight spin, she trained her eyes on her new eaglet pal, Tora, and took a seat next to her. "Hiya Tora," she said cheerily as she sat her bag by her feet. She looked back over to and added with a grin, "I love this class!" Now she wondered what in the great wide world of creatures they would be studying today. "Hello, Miss Dawnsel," Peyton said. That brought the total up to three names she now knew. What a number. Text Cut: aaetha" Quote:

Now, the air was fresh, if somewhat crisp, and if there hadn't been a lot of people nearby, Isobel would probably have thrown out her arms and spun around.
Instead, she skipped up to Tora and Eliza and slid onto the bench next to Tora, nudging her slightly as she did so. "Hiiiii!" she drawled. "How's it going, you two?" Hopefully she wouldn't get in trouble for chatting or anything, she was just doing basic greetings and the professor still seemed busy eating ice cream (still jealous!). Besides, class hadn't officially started yet.
Peyton eyed the little Ravenclaw who walked up next. She was a talkative one, wasn't she? Just not to her professors, it appeared.

This professor seemed pretty chill, eating ice cream up front (agh and not sharing!), so Tora wasn't too afraid to start up a conversation. "Well I'm going pretty good, still gotta do that Transfiguration homework though, and how's your day been?" she laughed and then asked both of them in a lower voice. "What do you think the new Professor is like? Any rumors or anything to share?"
Peyton's facial expression dropped to a mild glare. Was she going to have to make her whole 'classroom is not social hour' speech? Those Ravenclaws were a chatty bunch, weren't they?
Funny. She's pinned that one on the Gryffindors. Text Cut: Mell Quote:

"Afternoon, Professor!" he smiled brightly, finding a seat as close to the front of the class as he possibly could, after the seats that had already been taken.
Then he saw it.
The ice cream.
It had been too long since Tobias had eaten anything other than that vile rubbish they served in the Great Hall, and his eyes were fixed to the treat. It was nearly gone, but it was still enough to make Tobias' stomach growl in hunger; breakfast had not been satisfying enough, and he'd skipped lunch altogether after realising he was a knut short. "Where'd you get that?" the boy said in what was almost a pitiful whine as he nodded at the ice cream, forgetting that he was in a classroom setting altogether. "Good afternoon," Peyton said. Get what? ... Oh, her ice cream? "In the Great Hall." Text Cut: DecemberMoon Quote:

It's such a nice day out and ice cream would really just make it even more awesome... She made herself pay attention to the girls next to her though and not so much to the ice cream cone that was dripping down the side of its cone, taunting her taste buds and making her mouth water.
She lowered her voice to show the younger girls that while some pleasantries were usually okay in the beginning of class, full blown conversations usually got some narrow-eyed looks. "I'm great Isobel, thanks for asking." She listened as Tora mentioned her homework and the new professor. Now that is something we definitely shouldn't discuss in class. She could have super hearing for all we know! So because of this, Eliza kept her answer extremely positive and brief. "Nope, nothing yet. But she's pretty and she must be nice if she likes animals, right?" She gave them both an excited grin in anticipation of the lesson that was surely about to start any moment now.
What in the name of Merlin what up with these Ravenclaws?! Chatty bunch. She made a mental note to separate that little group of talkers as soon as she could. Text Cut: lazykitty Quote:

She was in the wrong line of work if she was. Though Sky got the idea that this professor was a little more lighthearted since she was just finishing an ice cream cone as she made her way into the makeshift classroom. "Hello, Professor," she greeted before taking a seat on one of the benches and placing her bag on the ground beside her. Teach us something, professor.
Well, at least the Slytherins knew how to greet their professor then get seated and ready for class. "Hello," Peyton said. Text Cut: Luna_Midnight Quote:

Upon coming to the lesson, it didn't take long for Nerida to like the Professor she seemed chill... A smile appeared on her face as the realization occured that she was eating an ice cream cone and she was chill. Nerida wanted ice cream now, she would have to find some later. She gave a wave towards the professor and said "Hello Professor, welcome to Hogwarts!" "Hello," Peyton said, "and thank you." Text Cut: xXxPandora Quote:

So...excitement taking up a whole new level right here. Beezus practically bounced towards the woman, "Hellooo Professor! " She really was gorgeous, more so up close..the Ravenclaw thought. "And welcome to Hogwarts. The woman earned a broad smile and slight bow from her before she scuttled off to take a seat...but not before she eyed the ice cream cone on the woman's hand.
Yeah. *eyeeeeeees*
She also eyed her chickadees, as Mo like to call them, aka the younger Ravenclaws and sat next to them (beside Eliza specifically) and interrupted their little chit-chat. Interrupted Maybe that was why Addy hated her so much, because she tended to put a stop to the funsies. Only when it was necessary though. Besides, they were in class and even if it hasn't started yet...it was still ill-mannered if her Ravenclaws kept on talking with a Professor in front. She nudged Eliza gently, leaning in to peer at the two first years, "Keep the chatting low, okay girls?" Beezus winked at the trio before shifting her attention back to the ice cream.
Because ice creams required fervent attention like that. "Hello," Peyton said. She nodded. "It's good to be back." She'd just started to turn her head when she heard the girl quiten her chatting housemates. Well, why don't you just look at that? She knew she count on at least one of the bookworms to tame the wild eagles. "Thank you," she added. Text Cut: Luna004 Quote:

When Susan walked into the classroom she waved to the new professor. Then did a double take, was she eating ice cream. How cool was that?! Susan smiled at the professor, "Hello Professor, hope you are enjoying Hogwarts." Susan then went to go find a seat. "Hello," Peyton said. "I am enjoying being back. Thank you."

Right, though, this wasn't Astronomy, it was CoMC.
Thinking cap on. "Good afternoon," Peyton said, "and thank you." Text Cut: McFeisty Quote:

When she looked around to find a friend to sit with she just balked - her bestie was here she hadn't had a class with him in a while...sure she'd seen him in Astronomy but that was a different story. She walked forward a bit and without speaking just took a seat on the end of the bench right next to him.
Up close and in his personal space bubble. Yep. She had just squeeeeeezed her way in like a creepy mouse creeping into a room through a hole. "Hey Kaid - Ella, Alec" she beamed to them all. Beaming was good. Beaming was fun - and it kind of hurt sometimes. Glancing up at the Professor she noticed the ice cream and just eyed it.
She wanted her ice cream. Well, no, she wanted one of her own. "Hello Professor" she smiled kindly in her direction. Yeah maybe she was just dreaming about ice cream cones - heck, it was obvious she was even holding her arm out like she was holding an ice cream cone in it. "Hello," Peyton said. She eyed the girl. Was she...reaching for something? Holding something? Yeah...some of the students could be so strange sometimes. Text Cut: Tegz Quote:

that was different. She was eating ice cream? Also... also... *nervous swallow* she was kind of... kind of... extremelygoodlookingandstuff. So much so that he didn't even look at certain people for once. Strange and stuff.
Cough. West sat down without saying hello. For reasons.
Peyton's gaze followed the young Slytherin until he took his seat. She'd thought he might say hello, but no, that never came. So instead, she gave him a short nod then turned away. Text Cut: Steelsheen Quote:

*extra bright beaming* "Barlow," Peyton corrected. Right. They were so not on a first name basis. "...but hello to you, too." Text Cut: hjhm Quote:

Entering the place, Juliet saw the professor and WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!!? Is that what she think it is????? Juliet saw the professor eating ice cream? Now she wants ice cream. Share. Pouts. Juliet walked to find herself a seat and as she did, she gave the professor a smile "Lovely day for ice cream, Professor" she greeted. Only because she knows 90% of the people in this room would love some ice cream too---- including her. "It is," Peyton agreed. Did these children never visit the Great Hall?

Geeze, it's just a food, and unhealthy for you too. Now if she was eating a tree of broccoli or a carrot, that would perk Oakey's interest in this new Professor. "Good Afternoon Professor." He said, as he set his things down below the bench. "Good afternoon," Peyton replied. Text Cut: lemondrop13 Quote:

She tried to make eye contact with the Professor and smiled, hoping that would be enough to not appear rude or disinterested. Sigh. Carsyn really needed to work on her people skills.
Peyton just couldn't figure this one out. She looked like she'd seen a nundu or something... Text Cut: Lockhart292 Quote:

"I'm so late", he moaned. He found the class nestled between a barn and some other building. Joining the group, he caught his breath. When he had recovered enough, he looked around, and realized that others were still coming in as well. Relieved, he leaned against the barn wall, happy to have made it to class. "You are right on time," Peyton said, overhearing the boy. "Now have a seat with the others." She really wasn't going to wait around for long. Text Cut: RandomRaven Quote:

Walking happily to the the grounds, she entered the place and watched the Professor was eating ice cream. Damn, I want ice cream too now. She mumbled. "Good day, Professor." She smiled and took her seat "Good day," Peyton replied. She looked around. Class was packed. Dear Merlin, had there always been this many kids in one class at one time? Text Cut: Talikins Quote:

As she stepped inside the classroom she scanned the new Professor for a few moments. Looked alright, not to strict or maybe a little? She'd have to wait and see.
"Good Afternoon, Profesor." She gave the woman a small pout. "Hope you are enjoying Hogwarts." Even with the happenings, which Ness was beginning to think they weren't that bad...or maybe they were.
A seaaat, she needed one. The Hufflepuff looked around plonked on an empty bench and waited for the class to begin.
So the Head Boy and the Head Girl were both Hufflepuffs? Ha. Somebody was a little prejudice toward their own former house, hmm? "Good afternoon," Peyton said, remembering the girl had spoken to her. Text Cut: Destiny Quote:

Shoes on her hands, because they were outside and being outside meant you didn't need to wear shoes, the Slytherin made her way over the grounds towards the place where the lesson was being held and stopped once she reached the others. And the Professor. Who she needed to say something to. Right. "Hello, Professor!" she gave the woman a smiiiiile before taking a seat on one of the nearest benches.
Oh, look! Michael was there. Rhodes pretended to throw her shoes at him. "Hello," Peyton said. Then she just blinked. That's all she could do. This girl...did realize that she was...carrying her shoes, right? Strange, strange children.
"If you haven't found a seat, find one now, please. Class is starting," she said. She didn't have a door to shut, but if she did, this would be shutting time. Anybody arriving after this point would be late. "Quieten down while you're at it. Class time isn't social hour, and I won't speak over you."
RAWR.
...and then she smiled. No, she wasn't a force to reckoned with, but she wasn't Little Miss Sunshine either. "My name is Professor Barlow. Thank you for welcoming me to the school, but I have to tell you that I, too, was once a student here. I'm a former Slytherin and of the class of 2068," she said. They could do the math. "Yes, you do get a chance to eat ice cream later, but no, I don't have any for you here." Again, she was no one's house elf. They could get their own ice cream. "There's more where my cone came from right in our very own Great Hall."
She propped herself up on the edge of her desk then looked out over the crowd. "I graduated from Wizarding University with a master's degree in magizoology. My specialization is ingredients harvesting." Yes, yes. The Care of Magical Creatures professor harvested ingredients, and she was pretty darn good at it, too. "Since university, I've worked at a harvesting center and reserve, where I took care of unicorns and mooncalves. I also harvested the hair from the unicorns to be used for wandmaking, and the dung from the mooncalves to be used by Herbologists and fertilizing companies." "Now, which ingredients do you know of that can be harvested from a magical creature without doing any major harm to that creature?" she asked.
