...errr... "I don't think Ministry is responsible for it," he said softly, trying to calm her down. "You can try for L'oreal, though?" That was the most famous muggle beautifying company, right? Good thing they weren't muggles. "What you are saying, though, the second part, makes sense to me, with respect to two boys' ideas over there." He was referring to Aditya and Sander, of course. Because... Quote: Originally Posted by SlytherinSistah

........WHAT did it have with him?!
Cosgrach gasped, frowned, his hand involuntarily touched his face before re realised he was being silly, and he folded his arms in the end.
But what nonsense was Annabeth speaking too? He was dismayed, panicked, but he tried his best not to show it. "Thank you Annabeth," he addressed to the girl casually. He was touched she thought he wasn't old. "Let's not go personal Cutty pleasethankyou." It was amazing that anybody had commented on her small declaration of love. Not even Cutty. It was great. She would try not lead it to personnal, as Culloden had asked to. Moreover, Cutty was weird and she liked weird guys. Quote:

The need to be atractive is a natural necessity, in terms of Nature, we can say that the more attractive an individual can be, he greatest chance of success in life (having a relationship, a family). It makes women and men show themselves as attractive as possible - by using cosmetics or taking care of their health." She grinned and then added, "In other hand, the need to stay young isn't a natural necessity. It was created and is kept by the cosmetic industry, just to sell their products. If they kept selling cosmetics just to increase the already attractive young appearence, they would sell only for a part of population. But when they create the need to stay young and cosmetics that promisse this effect to old people, they can sell their products to almost overall population. Only babies and children won't use their products... Though, I think that when they realise it, they will create a product to prevent wrinkles and stretch marks and they will say that it shall be used during childhood to be more effective..." She sighed and grinned. She loved a good discussion. Quote:

How plausible was that, people? He tried to make eye contact with them all, before getting up. "Okay, I don't want to steal from your lunch break, so the discussion is over. Thank you for staying and sharing your opinions. I hope to read them in homework." Which translated as he wanted to read their HOMEWORK. "Have a nice day, people." Now, out. "Thank you, Professor. It was a wonderful class. Have a nice day you too!" She grinned, though she was bit disappointed as she was expecting for more discussions. ooc: Sorry for posting after the teacher having dismissed the class, I was writing and didn't noticed that Starshine had already posted, I just saw it when I posted. And as there are people who subscribes this post, I thought it wouldn't be useful just say goodbye.
