She didn't really know what to expect, since even though this professor had apparently been at this school before as the Quidditch official/Flying instructor, she nor her dorm mates had been here during the professor's time. Hopefully, she was easier to understand than Professor Domingo. Seriously, it was hard to learn anything when you couldn't understand a word the professor was saying.
Walking into the room, Heather was surprised to see who she assumed was the new professor standing behind a podium and the class and professor's name written on the board. That was unusual for Hogwarts. Though not for Beauxbatons, so she exactly what to do. She took a seat quietly, greeted the professor with a "Good morning," and sat there otherwise quiet, waiting for class to start.
Alright, the first student! Tiara had a certain panicky thrill somewhere near her stomach when the young lady walked in. " Good morning yourself, Miss Xanthopoulos. Please, take a seat anywhere you'd like," she said with a slightly nervous smile. Text Cut: Alexa Quote:

Admittedly, the idea wasn't so far fetched by virtue of the fact this WAS Hogwarts and stranger things had happened but no, all she kept hearing was the woman was gone. Some people said they saw Law Enforcement walking around too but that might not have been related so she wouldn't put much stock into it.
Who would they get now? Merlin not another Professor Fr3nch--althoooough, with the rate at which the teaching was going in this place now, Lex was inclined to have another nutter for a Professor. Might as well. He or she would fit right in in this madhouse they called a school.
Stepping in, Alexa nearly took a step out, noticeably taken aback by Professor Tanner standing by a podium. What was she doing here and not down on the sunken quidditch pitch trying to make it better? Can't have flying class and such all the way up here. Or rather, they could, but it'd be a bit difficult and the Firsties might get hurt...on purpose.
Weird..."G'morning Professor...." The hesitation was evident in her voice while she tried making sense of the whole thing.
Yes, she noticed the uncertainty in that greeting. " You're in the right place, don't worry. Thank you for coming, Miss Cambridge." It was always good to have student leadership around. " Sit anywhere you'd like." Text Cut: Tobias Quote:

Domingo wasn't here, which meant another new professor.
When he stepped into the room, Toby actually stopped in his tracks. Tyner. Tanner. The flying professor... here. Tobias blinked, letting this register in his foggy brain, but then... very quickly accepted it and stepped inside to take his regular window-side seat. Tanner teaching Arithmancy. Cool.
"Hi Professor Tanner," the Hufflepuff said, with less of his usual exuberance and enthusiasm, and no bounce at all, but still smiling all the same. Toby sat, got out his note-taking things, and waited, glancing out of the window from time to time as he twirled his quill absently in one hand.
Ah, here was a student she had a definite soft spot for. " Mr. Tempus! Welcome," she said, evidently enthused... unlike the young man? " Is everything alright, Tobias? You don't seem yourself today." Text Cut: Zander Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack That's right, Zander had heard the rumors about Professor Domingo, but the question was... Did he believe them? Well, that was an easy one. Absolutely not. If anything the rumors were probably Professor Romanos' doing. Getting the good guys off her trail, you know? Just 'cause he felt weirdly confident enough *ahem*-- not weirdly confident, like felix felicis confident-- didn't mean that he wasn't still a bit suspicious. This kid didn't really let go of things too easily.
But as he walked into the classroom, O________O so it was true then? He had walked in just in time to hear a few other students refer to the woman as Professor, which must mean that Tanner was their new Professor... Which must mean that the Rumors were true. Which also meant, huh?
Arithmancy was definitely the most confusing class. And it hadn't even started yet. Merlin, Zander just couldn't wait until the numbers came in. Joy.
Walking past the new Professor unto his way to a desk, Zander looked up and said a quick, "Good day, Professor," before finding a seat. Let the torture begin. Also, how ironic was it that the flying instructor-- aka Zander's second least favorite subject-- was now teaching his first least favorite subject. Oh the bitter irony. Was this karma for something?
Here was a student that did not look happy to be here. Understandable. She remembered from her own days as a student here that this class had been difficult for a large percentage of students due to its math content. " And a good morning to you as well, Mr. Adair." She gave him a quick smile to hopefully put him at ease. Text Cut: Adi Quote:

"Hello, Professor.'' Adi smiled broadly. He was going to remain open minded about her teaching this subject. Yep! Anyway, now to find a seat. Oh looky. It was Zander, the weird Gryffindor. "Hiya, Zander,'' the Puffer said as he slipped into the seat beside the boy.
But at least Mr. Rehman looked happy to be here. She always did like that particular badger quality. " Good morning, Mr. Rehman," she said whilst returning his grin. Text Cut: Ian Quote:

He walked into the classroom, which was quite austere, and greeted the new professor. Good Day professor. he turned and waved to the students who occupied seats, including Adi. He then made his way to his now comfortable back corner.
Another Hufflepuff... where were all her eagles? " Good morning! Please find a seat anywhere you would like." Text Cut: Jasmine Quote:

When she walked into the classroom, Professor Domingo was indeed gone. Yet another person feeding into Jasmine's abandonment issues. The gone without a trace count was officially at three and counting. Perhaps the even bigger surprise was who was standing at the front of the class, ready to teach apparently. Professor Tanner? Well OK, why not? Jasmine had definitely learned to expect the unexpected here at Hogwarts. When you were a student, you kind of learned to roll with things......so OK. "Hello Professor", Jasmine said to the former flying instructor. Then she found a seat and waited.
Aha! Finally, a Ravenclaw! " Hello, Miss Guidry. Thank you for joining us. I hope you've found some of your house mates to follow you?" She really wanted a strong eagle representation, given that one of their house leaders was teaching this subject. Text Cut: Ethan Quote:

Arithmancy book, parchments, self-inking quills...wand...so far so good.
The prefect sighed and opened the door and saw...well, that's not Lolita Domingo. Ethan read the writings on the board, and quickly memorized it. New professor? Again? Or was she...oh wait, she's the Flying Instructor, right??? What was she doing here then? Ethan closed his mouth before the professor sees him gawking and sat on his usual seat in the classroom. "Good morning, Professor Tanner." Questions...he got questions, but he decided against asking the professor up front as to where...or what happened to Domingo. Surely, she'd tell in a while, yeah?
The prefect got his writing implements and book out, sat back, and waited for the class to start.
Another prefect, excellent. And this one was clearly confused. " Good morning, Mr. Mordaunt. You've found the right place, don't worry." She echoed the same reassurance she had already given this morning. Clearly word of her new position had not spread amongst the students as of yet, but now it surely would. Text Cut: Zeke Quote:

Zeke hitched his bag up higher on his shoulder, took a DEEEEP BREATH, and then entered the classroom.
"Hi... Professor," he greeted tentatively - and then he SCOOTED to a seat and plopped himself in it.
She chuckled at the new Gryffindor to enter. Indeed, she was a professor now. " Good morning, Mr. Rogers. I'm glad you've made it today. Find a seat anywhere." Text Cut: Benjamin Quote:

Well not exactly new, especiually when the notice came out announcing a class and confirming a swap of staff positions.
Interesting.
"Good morning, Professor," he greeted once he had stepped inside the room and noticed she was indeed inside. Then moving to find a seat, the fourth year opted for one near Zander and Adi. "Hey," he greeted the two boys as he sat down, taking out some parchment and quill.
" And a good morning to you, Mr. Atreyu." It was good to see people sitting by others that were not all from their house. The best way to build inter-house unity was friendships such as these, in her opinion. OOC: We'll begin in a few hours!
