What on earth was under there? Zhenya peeled her eyes away from it, knowing that she would surely find out what it was soon enough, once lesson started. So, she turned around to find a seat, pulling out her parchment, ink, quill and textbook. Nessa was very excited for today’s lesson. She had wanted to try a different approach to her lessons this year to keep things fun and fresh. Not that she didn’t like the way her lessons had been in the past, as a matter of fact she loved them, but change was always good to keep people on their toes and keep them excited. She was lost in these thoughts when the first student arrived to class.
”Well, hello, Zhenya!” she greeted the Slytherin with a bright smile. ”I’m doing quite well, thank you. I hope you can say the same.” She noted the girl’s glance towards the covered table but she wasn’t going to give anything away just yet. Instead, she just smiled at her as she went to find her seat then turned her o the door to watch for the next student to enter.
SPOILER!!: Adi Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 You know what? If Benny didn't want to believe him then there was nothing he could do about it. And he was going to do his entrance! The Hufflepuff cleared his throat, shuffled into the classroom and burst into a familiar song:
"Move your body like a hairy troll
Learning to rock and roll
Spin around like a crazy elf
Dancin' by himself
Boogie down like a unicorn
No stoppin' till the break of dawn
Put your hands up in the air
Like an ogre, who just don't care
Oh! Can you dance like a hippogriff?
Na na na ma ma ny na na ny na!"
It was 'Do the Hippogriff!' by The Weird Sisters. Hehe. Everyone should know that, right? Accompanying Adi's singing was him doing weird movements that he improvised at the last moment (he had planned the singing, not the dancing). Head banging was included. He reallllly wanted to sing the entire song but he figured Glendower would get bored of him so he ceased his dancing directly in front of the woman's podium, a grin on his face but it wasn't the usual bright and cheerful one. It was more like forced and 'I'm sad but I don't want to show it'. "Hi, Professor. I hope you're alright.''
Just then he noticed the covered table. "Professor, are we having a feast?" Food would cheer him up right now. Yup, yup. Anwaaaay. Adi opted to sit waaaaaaaaay at the back of the classroom. He was going to hide from people today. So intent on doing this, he failed to notice his good friend Zhenya already there. And that next student would be Adi. Nessa smiled widely as the Hufflepuff burst into class singing. It certainly was a good choice for her to forego the welcoming music this time (though in reality, she had just been a little scatterbrained and had forgotten), for she wasn’t so sure if there was competing music that Adi would be so inclined to sing this song! She was very tempted to sing along, but this was his entrance and she didn’t want to steal his thunder. Instead, she settled for dancing along a bit, similar to Adi’s own dance moves, ending with very enthusiastic applause when he finished in front of her. ”Well done, Adi! Thank you for that very entertaining rendition!” Her smile faltered just a bit as she noticed his own smile seemed a bit forced. ”I’m doing just fine.. I hope you are as well?” Her eyes glanced to the covered table at his question and she shook her head. ”No, not today.. unfortunately some activities don’t go well with food..” But a snack was a nice idea for a different day.
SPOILER!!: Emmylou Quote:

She was sure that she had everything that she needed for today's class and even an extra notebook just in case because the one that she had been using for her other classes was getting full and she was always one to write for than what she needed to write in class. Emmylou beamed at Professor Glendower. "Hello Professor Glendower. How are you today?" she asked taking a sit in the front row. Nesa smiled brightly at Emmylou as she was the next student to enter. ”Hello, Emmylou! I’m doing wonderfully today, thank you for asking!” She did so appreciate such thoughtfulness. ”I hope you are doing well today..”
SPOILER!!: Benny Quote:

So instead Benny practically sulked quietly into the classroom only to find not many had arrived already. His presence would be noticeable without a crowd. Not to mention Adi was, as usual, one of the first ones there.
"Hello Professor," he said simply, a contrast to the more cheerful woman. Benny then made his way to a random seat away from his friend. He didn't want to run the risk of them being partnered up at the moment if he could help it. It was just too awkward.
Nessa turned her eyes towards the door again as the next student walked in. Was she reading too much into things or did his demeanor seem a little off? Still, she smiled brightly at the boy as he greeted her. ”Hello, Benjamin.. I hope you’re doing alright today.” If not, she’d be more than happy to lend a listening ear after class if needed.
SPOILER!!: Marsha Quote:
Originally Posted by Tiro MacMhuirich Having skipped from the Great Hall to the History of Magic classroom, Marsha was grinning happily when she arrived. So, it was with a huge smile over her face that she followed the others, from lunch in to meet Professor Glendower. ”Good afternoon Professor.”
She handed the woman a small posy of pansies, in various shades of purple. Pansies were one of the only flowers that she knew anything about, but with a smile she handed them to her Professor. ”I found these outside… and well, the frost is starting to set in and pansies don’t do so well in the cold… and well, I thought you might like them for your office desk.”
…. She was babbling.
She’d never done anything like that before… she didn’t even know if Professor Glendower LIKED flowers… but really, they had been asked to enter respectfully… and she’d at the very least done that… right?
Handing the posy over, Marsha moved to take her seat, hoping that no-one had seen her mumbling away to the Professor like an idiot. Don’t mind us, just sitting back here. Quiet and silent. Yup. Nessa smiled brightly as the next student walked in wearing her own wide smile. She still had trouble with some of the first years’ names being only midway through the term, but she was fairly certain her name was Marsha. ”Good afternoon,” she began greeting her in return, stopping as her eyes fell on the flowers from the girl’s outstretched hand. Oh, goodness! How very sweet! ”Why thank you so much!” she beamed as she took the flowers. ”I would love them for my office.” She conjured a vase and filled it with water before placing the flowers inside and setting it on the corner of the covered table.
SPOILER!!: Norah Quote:
Originally Posted by Sararara Norah flounced into the History of Magic classroom with a winning smile on her face, head held high. Curtsying in front of Professor Glendower, she nodded her head regally and looked up to give her a little wave. "Hi Professor!" She made her hand into a cup shape and waved slowly and dramatically at the rest of the students before sliding into a seat near the front of the classroom. How was THAT for an entrance? They could just call her Queen Norah from now on, yep.
She laid her note taking materials on her desk, paying special attention to her new glittery silver ink. It got a special place 'cause it was the best part, yep yep yep. With a grin at Professor Glendower again, she sat straight up and interlaced her fingers on top of the desk. Royalty was respectful, everybody knew that. Nessa watched as Norah came into the room next, matching the smile on the girl’s face as she made her entrance. ”Good afternoon, Norah,” Nessa greeted her in return, giving her a curtsy also. ”I hope the day finds you well.”
SPOILER!!: Clara Quote:
Originally Posted by natekka The redhead slipped inside, at least observing the request to 'be polite'. That was the best that Professor Glendower would be getting from her. "Good afternoon, Professor," she said warmly, picking out a seat fairly near the front, before getting out her resources. Nessa gave the Ravenclaw an encouraging smile, sensing the girl was perhaps not in the best mood today. That was unfortunate, but hopefully her day would get better, and maybe her lesson would be a pleasant distraction. ”Good afternoon, Clara,” Nessa returned the girl’s greeting, watching her pick out a seat.
SPOILER!!: Eden Quote:
Originally Posted by kayquilz Eden was feeling kinda' sad today. She was....severely missing Phoenix...and she just...didn't wanna' feel like that right now. She followed in after Clara and didn't bother making an entrance.
"Professor Glendower--" she nodded at her and sighed a she slumped next to Clara. Did she have to talk? She just met eyes with Clara before shaking her head, as if to tell her not to ask. Goodness.. seemed to be quite a few of her students who were in a less than overjoyed mood. Still, Nessa gave this girl an encouraging smile as well as she shuffled into the room. ”Hello, Eden.. I hope everything’s alright today..” If not, her office was always open and she’d be happy to talk.
SPOILER!!: Henric Quote:
Originally Posted by Symphora Henric walked into the classroom,history of magic..whoop whoop! Time to put more history knowledge into his long term memory brain. He stopped to read the sign,"Make an Entrance...Respectfully" Alright then he would try...he sauntered forward towards the smiling professor,"Hello Professor...I can't wait for your lesson to begin,"he greeted politely. He then faced the class and bowed as well,"Hello...umm..." He gulped, alright maybe not...he was going to pass on the dramatic entrance scene, that was Adi's thing not his."..well..nice to meet you all again...uhh....goodbye..."He briskly walked past them so he could seat at the back like always,"Oh hey Adi!"he waved.Where was Benny? Henric looked around and spotted him seated on the opposite side.Weird, didn't these two always seat together and not always at the back? He wanted to wave at Benny too but he didn't seem to look cheerful today.Hmm...oh well...he took a seat beside Adi. Whaat...this was his favourite spot. He even carved his name...not physically...but mentally...on this seat.Yup yup. Watching the next student come in, Nessa smiled brightly. ”Well, you’re in luck,” she grinned. ”You don’t have long to wait!” Nope, class would be starting in just a few minutes! And she thought today would be rather fun. She beamed approvingly as he made a dramatic gesture towards the class, knowing that this was his personal take on an entrance. How creative!
SPOILER!!: Rorie Quote:
Originally Posted by Awarlesta Black Rorie was quite happy she had decided to pull her rainbow locks in a bun today. Approaching the 'Make an Entrance' sign, she folded the sleeves of her robes up her arm and tied the tail to her waist.
ALLEY-OOP!
Perfect handstand by Miss Rorie Hazelwood. 10 out 10 scoring. THE CROWD GOES WIIIILDDDD! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wobbling her way into the class, she kept her balance even. Can't land any roles with a broken wing, can she?
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE back on her own two feetsies. TA-DA. Autographs available after class. THX. One thing that Nessa had noticed were lacking lately was the acrobatics. She had gotten rather used to the impressive feats from when she first started, yet there hadn’t been any today. Until now. She watched with delight as the next person to enter the classroom did so on her hands. Nessa thought it was Rowena Hazelwood as she tilted her head to try to get a better look at the upside-down face. Either way, she was impressed. ”Wonderful job!” she applauded before the girl righted herself to find a seat.
SPOILER!!: Brian Quote:
Originally Posted by laurange Entering the room and making a small bow towards Professor Glendower, he offered her a wide smile. "Good afternoon, professor. I hope you've had a good morning." Mmhm. Now he'd just find himself a seat somewhere in the back and maybe she'd be able to ignore him if he should fall asleep at any point during the lesson. Nessa gave the boy a small bow and a wide smile in return. ”Good afternoon Brian. Why, yes, I did have a good morning.. I hope you did as well.” Hmm, a back row seat... She really should arrange the seats better so everyone was at optimal location for best learning and participation.
SPOILER!!: Toby Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir Pausing outside the room to gather himself, Toby then ran and skidded into the classroom, sliding across the floor and doing jazz haaaands, with a big smile on his face. A smile that anyone who knew him well enough might recognise as completely forced.
The room set-up, that long table, the podium, none of it made Toby too curious, because Hogwarts. No one class was different to the next in this place, so he took it all in his stride as he went across to take his usual seat by one of the windows.
"Hey Professor, good to see you," he said simply, offering Glendower a little smile as he took a seat and got his things set up. Eeep, Nessa loved dramatic entrances like those, especially the jazz hands. She offered Toby a welcoming smile, unaware that his mood might not be as cheerful as normal, and watched him find a seat. ”Hi Toby,” she returned his greeting. ”Fantastic to see you as well.. hope you’re having a lovely day.”
SPOILER!!: Sophie Quote:
Originally Posted by feeheeheeny

Smiling pleasantly at Sophie as the girl entered her classroom, Nessa returned her salute. ”Hello, Sophie.. I am doing quite well, thank you. And I hope you can say the same.” She did enjoy respectful and polite which Sophie never failed to display.
SPOILER!!: Ethan Quote:
Originally Posted by Mordred Ethan opened the door and peeked inside the classroom before entering. He had to make sure it was safe and whatnot. Spotting the professor and the long table before her, the Slytherin pushed the door open and entered the classroom. “Good day, Professor.” The fair haired teen grinned at the woman, and snagged a seat beside Zhenya. “Hey there, Z.” A friendly grin and wave was given, and took out his writing implements out after.
Ready! Hmm, that was a low-key entrance from Ethan but he got a pleasant smile nonetheless. Though she did wonder if something was going on with some of the students that they not come in as excited for class as usual. ”Hello, Ethan.. Hope you’re having a great day!” She watched him take a seat with his friends then she turned her eyes to the door again as more students trickled in.
SPOILER!!: Zeke Quote:
Originally Posted by Hera Despite entering through the door in a regular fashion - as he did now since the shine off it wore of quickly in his first year - he did notice the difference in the room. NO MUSIC. Thank Merlin.
"Hello, Professor Glendower," he greeted as he moved to take his usual seat. Nessa gave a pleasant smile to the next student to walk in, watching him as he found a seat. ”Hello, Zeke.”
SPOILER!!: Hady Quote:
Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy

"Hello, Professor. How are you?" she greeted warmly with a small wave of her hand before making way to her normal set and sitting down taking out her usual items of parchment, quill, and textbook.
Nessa smiled widely as Hady entered the room with a wave. ”Hello, Hady.. I’m doing just fine, dear. How about yourself?” She gave an approving nod as the girl readied her things at her desk. Not that they’d really need all that today, but it was always good to be prepared.
SPOILER!!: Grayson Quote:
Originally Posted by hermionesclone

Was he done embarrassing himself?
The answer was yes. Readjusting himself, the Slytherin threw a wink out to the audience -- none for the haters -- before turning his attention towards the History of Magic professor. "Hey, Professor Glendower." Smiles for her because she was cool and all. He then moved away to swagger over towards an empty seat and sit down. Ready to learn, yo.
Nessa smiled widely as Greyson entered the room with a flourish. What a way to announce one’s presence, she loved it! ”Hello, Greyson,” she greeted him in return. ”Nice to see you today.”
SPOILER!!: Angel Quote:
Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel couldn't wait for the first History of Magic Lesson to start, but first she had to make an entrance and today she had the perfect one, she walked towards the door before she stopped a few metres away and she went to the side of the door... she poked her head in for a few seconds before she went to the other side and did the same again.
Angel then rolled into the classroom and hid behind the Professor desk before she peeked her head up from behind it, looking around... she was so being a spy. "Hello Professor!" Angel smiled as she picked herself up from the floor. "How are you today?" Angel suddenly went and found herself a seat. Hmm, now this was rather curious. Nessa tilted her head as she watched Angel stealthily enter the room. She turned around behind her as the girl poked her head up and she was rewarded with a wide smile. ”Hello Angel! I’m doing quite well, how are you?” That was a rather creative entrance, very unique to the girl’s personality, which Nessa always appreciated.
SPOILER!!: Zander Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack You know what? He was just gonna march into the room like a soldier. He lifted one knee then the other as stiffly as he could and made his way into the-- Oh. "Hi, Professor," he greeted her, accidentally breaking out of character in the process. But he couldn't help it. He was curious. What was she hiding under the cloth? OR MAYBE the cloth was the prop this time. Unlikely, but possible. "Are we gonna be ghosts today?" You know, wear the cloth over their heads like people did for Halloween? Man, Glendower was brilliant. Ooh, another creative one! Nessa stood at attention as Zandar marched into the room. ”Hello, Zander,” she greeted him in return with a wide smile before her eyes followed his gaze. She couldn’t blame him for being curious. Oh that was an interesting guess. ”Well.. not in the literal sense..” Probably not really in the figurative sense either the more she thought about it.
SPOILER!!: Jackson Quote:
Originally Posted by RandomRaven Well, what should he do? Jackson was a good in singing but just singing sounded... not really special. Okay. "Good day Professor," He greeted. "At first I thought I'm in heaven because I see an angel, right in front of me." HEHEHE. Micky taught him how to do that. "Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for. I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more. You know it's true: Everything I do, I do it for you."
Jackson, stop. Now go to your seat.
He smiled and waved to some familiar face like Zhenya. Adi, and Ethan. He also waved to Henric, but he decided to take a seat a little bit far from him. ”Good day, Jackson,” Nessa greeted the boy with a wide smile as he entered the room next. Oh my, what a charmer this boy must be. She smiled appreciatively as he serenaded her and the class, indulging him in some applause as he was finished. ”Why that was lovely! Thank you so much for that delightful song!.” She watched him find a seat with his friends then glanced at the time. Nearly time to begin!
SPOILER!!: Lux Quote:
Originally Posted by Squishy Lux stopped outside of the doorway and peeked inside. There was already quite a few students in the classroom. Biting her lip, she tried to decided what she should do. Handstands were nice, but she had already done them before. She had also done cartwheels... OOOH!! She had it!!
Beaming, Lux started doing her mermaid dance that she had invented. Woooo. So much fun. She boogied right on up to her desk. "Hello, Professor!" And hello friends. Everyone got waves. Oh my, another creative entrance! Nessa smiled widely as she watched Lux dance into the room. ”Hello, Lux.. how very inventive!” She knew her students were very creative and she just loved it when they showed it. She watched as the girl turned to her friends, then decided to begin class. It was that time now and anyone else would just have to catch up.
”Hello, everyone!” Nessa brightly greeted the class as she walked towards the center of the room to address everyone. That was their cue that class was beginning and that they should end their personal conversations now. It was time for some fun learning! ”Today we are going to do something a little different. I know we are all accustomed to putting ourselves into history so to speak for class to better understand the events and, while we will still do that in a sense, today’s lesson will be much broader.” In fact, it would encompass much of the term! And she was sure that it would disappoint a few that there would be neither dressing up nor playacting today, but it would still be plenty creative!
”I’m sure many of you are wondering what is under the cloth on the table today, and we will get to that in just a little bit. As a hint, they are things that will help immerse ourselves into history, using your own unique and creative perspective. But for now, let’s talk about history in its most general sense." She started to walk around the room a little as she looked at each of them. "What is history? What does history mean to you? And what are ways that history is conveyed to other people? Let's start a discussion.."
