High fives were his thing! Also, yes, he had his own sticker on his clothing. It was the greenish one with the grin on it as usual. ''You look great, by the way,'' he added before heading off to grab a seat in the U shaped formation.

Adi opted for a seat on the right hand side then happily sat down. Where was everyone else? One should not be late for awesome classes as Moxley's.

Enthusiastic indeed. So enthuiastic, in fact, that Meredith Moxley let out a little yelp and shook her hand after. "Merlin, Prefect Rehman! You're an agressive high fiver. Take it easy on a lady, hm?" The smile remained firmly fixed on her face, the professor being more amused than anything else. She was glad to see the kids getting into the new rules rather than complaining about them. "And thank you!" She knew they'd get a kick out of her bowling shirt. It was fabulous, after all.

Now for her mood sticker... Paulina wasn't sure how she felt right now besides confused, so she opted for a sticker that appeared to look how she felt. Yep, that worked perfectly.

"Miss Holiday, lovely to see you!" Moxley's hand was still a bit tingly from Adi's high five so she opted to switch hands for this one. Another comment on her outfit? The brunette beamed. "That's nice of you to say, thank you!"

Just a lion in his final year walking into a classroom with a pleasant atmosphere. "Good day, Professor Moxley," he greeted the woman with a polite smile before remembering the rule and moving to give her a high five like it had directed. He then moved to take a seat of his own, noticing Adi and Paulina were the only other ones there.

These high fives were pumping Moxley up, did the kids know? There was nothing like a good solid hand slap between peeps (Peeps? Did kids still say peeps? Err) to put a smile on your face. "Mr. Atreyu, nice to see you!"

Great day, isn’t it?” he greeted as he walked over to her and gave her a high-five. Merlin, awesome professor was awesome!

"Mr. Mordaunt! It is a great day, yes!" Moxley nodded enthusiastically and then gestured for Ethan to find a seat. She was glad to see the Slytherin in good spirits. He seemed to have a great attitude and the muggle studies enthusiast approved.

Her clothes were a little funny, but funny was the norm here at Hogwarts, so it didn't faze the Head Girl one bit.

Sophie Brown was a good egg, did she know? Moxley had decided as much when she'd come over at the feast and informed some of the staff (her included, obviously) about Mr. Fuller-Thompson missing them. Who could blame the kid? Certainly not Moxley. She was an excellent educator! "Head Girl Brown, nice to see you! You're wearing the badge well, I must say." And she expected that the Ravenclaw would be a model student as always.

Hady grinned a little curious as to the point behind the professors clothing today. Surely they wouldn't be actually muggle bowling in the classroom but maybe something similar to it?

"Hello, Miss Lynch! Thank you. I must say the shirt seems to be quite the hit." She grinned, pleased about this. Perhaps she should rock a bowling shirt all the time. They were comfy, after all.

Farthest away from Moxley and looked at the stickers. Couldn't there just be one that says whatever with a shrug. That was his mood. Usually always his mood.

So he choose the most neutral looking face possible and stuck it to his robes.

Whatever.

"Mr. Barrington, hope you're well!" Moxley was starting to realize that because she was so incredibly popular and well-loved, a lot of students tended to show up to her class. That meant a lot of high fives and...she'd probably need to ice her hands or something after this. Didn't really think that one through. Hm.

Oh you must be having a great day." Noticing her sticker, assuming her mood coordinated her the sticker she was wearing. Oh, yeah. High five. She held up her hand. One day Moxley she was going to pull a high five, low five, middle five to slow thing on her one of these lessons. Tehe.

"Very observant of you, Miss Bayless!" Moxley was pleased to see the Gryffindor using the stickers in the way they were intended to be used. "I do hope you're having a good day as well!"

Why was Daxton here? Curiosity, plain and simple. He had very little desire to waste his time learning about 'muggles', especially considering he had spent his life believing (to an extent) that he was one, when all Daxton really wanted to do was learn about wizards. He was bored of muggles, really. But seeing how wizards spoke about them? Even having the chance to see them get it spectacularly wrong? Daxton was here for that.

And probably never again in the future, considering what the classroom rules were. Speaking of which, Daxton made sure to duck into the classroom behind a couple of older kids and take a seat right near the door, hopefully before he could be noticed. Because high fives were weird and anxiety-inducing and also stupid. Even 'air-fives'; they made no sense, and Daxton did not trust them, and he did not like interacting with anyone... so he avoided that part altogether.

On his desk, Daxton found the sheet of stickers (what exactly was it with this place and stickers?). He was actually willing to wear one of these - at least they did not have to wear them on their foreheads - but when he looked closely at the options, he found himself completely and utterly, hopelessly confused.

These were moods? How were they supposed to tell which was which? And aside from that, how was Daxton supposed to be able to tell what he was feeling right now anyway? He could not identify feeling anything at that moment, other than confusion, because these stickers... these stickers made no sense whatsoever. And Daxton was sure he did not like feeling confused. He blinked at the sheet, looked up at the teacher woman, Moxley, then back at the stickers again.

What the heck?

Moxley had noticed the boy as soon as he'd found a seat and his lack of high five (and air five) was noted. She would've probably asked about it had it not been for the look of total confusion on hi face as he looked over the stickers. Scooting off her desk, she was about to walk over when Dot beat her to it. She'd keep an eye on things but she trusted the red head to help out.

Oliver practically ran to the front of the room to give the professor a very excited high five. These rules he liked. They were not confusing, or too weird. They didn't involve words he didn't know the meaning of, sharing his candy, or removing any articles of clothing. And he liked high fives. "Hello professor!" He greeted with a tone just as enthusiastic as his high five. "How are you today?" Oops, just after asking the question he noticed the happy face sticker on her shirt. Two thumbs up to you, professor Moxley.

This little one had energy to spare it seemed. Spare. Hehehe. Amusing considering today's topic. Moxley grinned, amused by her thoughts as the first year approached and offered her a high five. "Great to see you! I'm doing wonderful, thanks for asking! I hope you're doing good as well." He certainly seemed to be.

She high-fived the Professor on the way in. Again, the rules were so weird this term. But, whatever, she'd roll with it.

She looked around before grabbing a seat next to Dante. She smiled at him before looking over the stickers. She considered them before adding the indifferent one to the front of her robes. She couldn't quite figure out which one was the judgmental sticker. Home girl had opinions on outfits.

"Hello, Miss Richards." Moxley said, watching the girl as she picked a sticker for herself. High fives were appreciated but a greeting was always nice, as well. Just saying. Kids these days, seriously.

She slept horribly because she was overwhelmed with homesickness and then got up 'on the wrong side of the bed'. Like her mum would say.

Shuffling to one of the desks on the U shape, Noelle sat in one of the curves. She was small enough to scoot into the side and plop right down. She was too tired, and put her head on the desk. Oh right.... she needed to greet the professor.

Seeing the brunette professor, she gave a little finger wave under her chin and dropped her head back to the desk. She didnt even bother to see who was sitting beside her. This was not the Noelle Grace Summers that was usually so bubbly.

Moxley was pretty easy going as far as professors went-or she liked to think so, anyway. Still, she was always a bit annoyed when the kids didn't bother to read her classroom rules. Even the adorable ickle ones. "Miss Summers, it's nice to see you. It seems that you've neglected to read the newest classroom rules as high fives and wearing a mood sticker have been added to the list." She regarded the girl thoughtfully and then continued. "I trust you'll remember next time, or loss of house points will be the repercussion." Oh and also, "And do please sit up in my class. I really don't want you missing out on any of the fun!" Really truly.

Before she turned back to claim a seat sort of halfway between Hady and Ethan. That way she could maybe guarantee not getting an irritating partner if they did a partner activity later in the lesson. Maybe. Nothing really was guaranteed here, and the stickers just proved that. She found one that was rather indifferent, and stuck it to the collar of her shirt. At least she didn’t have to put it on her forehead this time. She still thought the stickers were stupid.

"Hello, Miss Andrews!" Moxley returned the smile and wondered if Mr. Rehman and Miss Andrews should get together to discuss high five etiquette. They were both at opposite ends of the spectrum on that front.

"Hey, Professor," Zeke greeted as he made his way past her to find a seat along the side toward the back. Yeah. Weird seating arrangement - for Hogwarts, but he'd live.

"Hello! Mr. Browne, I think you're forgetting something." Was this not reading the rules thing a Gryffindor trait? Wait-Moxley was a former Gryffindor! This was totally a Gryffindor trait! Heh. Well, she still needed to say something. "High five or air five in greeting, Zeke! Please be familiar with the rules." Even if he did think they were silly.

Not as good as the Hufflepuff yellow she'd been sporting at the beginning of term but still FABULOUS.

She took a seat at a desk without even second guessing the funny table arrangement 'cause it was probably for a very good reason, and took out her note taking materials. That's right. Resident prefect all ready to prove her maturity and all those good things, 'cause for some reason Professor Moxley thought she had those. Maybe they were just hiding. With a purple sticker stuck to the front of her robes because it had the very biggest smile of all the stickers, Norah sat and waited with her lips zipped tight shut. So ready, man. SO. READY.

"Prefect Kittredge, nice to see you!" And Moxley would be forever mentally praising Norah's great attitude. She put a lot into her lessons and it was nice to see some of the students seeming excited about being here. "Thank you! I've had it for quite some time. I'm pretty fond of the color myself." It suited her, as most colors did!

Still, he plucked out a blue mood sticker that looked like :S and walked past the professor, giving her a silent, solemn air five as he passed. He settled into a seat, adjusted his many, many sheets of parchment for the notes he desperately needed to take, and settled his chin on his hand.

Serious little guy was serious. Must be that Ravenclaw angst setting in, hm? Moxley didn't wish that on anyone so she simply returned the air five and smiled a bit at the first year. "Hello, Mr. Truebridge!"

Brian was really indecisive about which sticker to pic - he was indecisive about everything, really - so he picked all the happiest looking stickers and stuck them to his clothes. Which meant that he had at least seven on. He was HAPPY, okay? And excited!

BEAM.

YUP. Moxley could tell he was happy. SO happy. She approved, of course. The Hufflepuffs as a whole were causing her to smile more these days. Buncha positive little puffs. "Mr. Woods, great to see you!"

Mood stickers! Right, she nearly forgot about that part of the new rules. Perusing the sheet, she stuck a blue :-] looking one to her robes. She wasn't displeased to be here, but she definitely couldn't be qualified as extensively happy either.

"Miss Mancini, welcome!" Moxley greeted the Ravenclaw cheerfully. "I'm doing great, thanks! I do hope you are, too."

Upon entering, he was quite surprised at the change of their seating layout. Nice!

He approached the professor and smiled,"Good morning professor Moxley, I have something for you, pumpkin pastries...freshly baked of course." He noticed the outfit she was wearing today.Oh? It looked like she was wearing a bowling outfit. "Very nice shirt, professor. Where you did you get it?"he asked as a polite gesture.

Grinning broadly, he turned around to choose a seat available at the corner. It seemed everyone already here, he waved to his friends and sat down.

"Hello, Henric! That was quite nice of you." Except the pumpkin pastries didn't quite make up for the fact that the Hufflepuff hadn't read the new rules. "I got it at a yard sale quite a while ago, actually. On sale, can you believe it?" It had been a steal! Also, "Mr. Nicolei, I do hope you'll read the updated rules next class or I'll be forced to take five points from Hufflepuff. I trust one of your prefects can direct you on where to find them."

And it looked like they where studying bowling today. Or, Professor Moxley was wearing a bowling shirt anyway. And her outfits were usually an indication of what they were studying. Somewhat.

"Hello, Miss Xanthopoulos!" It was good to see the seventh year had read the notice about the rules. Moxley gave a nod of approval before hopping back onto the edge of her desk again, feet swinging as she waited for the next student to arrive.

"Mr. Whittebrook, hello!" It was good to see so many badgers in attendance. This clearly meant that she was adored and accepted by them. ~~Or that they felt obligated to show up to her lessons because she was head of house...~~

Her clothes seemed strange to the first year but of course he didn't say anything about them. After the handshake, he found himself a seat and waited for the lesson to begin.

"Hello, Mr. Vogel!" Meredith returned the high five and greeted the Ravenclaw with a signature Moxley smile. Then glancing down at her watch, she noted it was almost time to start class.

N'aww, what a cutie! Moxley grinned at the Hufflepuff and returned the high five, noting the blush. "Mr. Montezor, great to see you!" And the color of his cheeks went quite well with the shade of her shirt, how nice!

She practically danced through the door and up to Moxley, where she offered both hands for high five doublesies! High ten!

"Good day, Professor! I like that you're wearing pink, because it looks like a particularly happy color on you. It's a very interesting shirt, and I bet you'll tell me about it in a minute, but I'd like it more if we added your name in glittery thread right over the pocket. Maybe later?" And then she was moonwalking or something back to her seat and looking at the stickers.

They were all a little basic and not really representative of the sunburst in her belly, so Dot just chose the one that looked like it had an orange slice in its mouth. She bared all her teeth in a truly terrifying grin and tried to look like her sticker.

Oh, a lost baby one! Dot put her scary teeth-face away and leaned over, tapping the blue one (for Ravenclaw!!!) with the little 'O' mouth. Maybe he wanted a hug or something? But you had to ask, and she wasn't supposed to be talking out of turn and... being responsible was exhausting.

"Maybe that one. It's okay if it isn't perfect. It's just a social convention. You do it to please someone else and make the moment go away faster. I'm Dot, and I don't actually smile like my sticker. D'you need a hug? I give excellent hugs, but I have to ask first." She may have peeked at Moxley to make sure her talking wasn't a problem.

Merlin, this one was a talker. The brunette listened intently, an amused smile playing on her lips. She had to admit that her name in sparkles would be just the thing to make this shirt better and so she nodded enthusiastically. "I think I'll let you do that, Dot. If you're offering, I mean." She'd help a muggle studies professor out, right?

Yes, Dot was always good for helping which is certainly why she deserved her badge. Moxley was appreciative of her instructions and she gave a reassuring smile when the Slytherin glanced over to see if it was okay she was doing so.

Why? Because the rules outside said so and FOR ONCE he read them before entering.

"Hi Professor! You're looking awful fancy today!"

No doubt his quill had found a much nicer way of saying so; it had such a way with words. The thing usually made him sound smarter and smoother than he actually was--but only half the time.

"Why thank you, Mr. Bellaire! I must say I'm feeling fancy as well." The muggle studies professor smiled at the first year and then watched him find a seat. The first years were adorable, the lot of them.

"HI PROFESSOR. I'm ElleryGwenogBORZEKOWSKI-Thomas and I was wondering, what years are we gonna be learning about? Recent history? Or like…WAAAAY BACK???"

That hair though? Moxley considered the small one thoughtfully, reaching out to touch a pigtail that was sticking up right in front of her nose. Strange.

"Hello, Ellery. You'll find out all about today's topic in just a few minutes. In the meantime, I do suggest you find a prefect to update you on my rules as next time I won't give a reminder, I'll just take points." The brunette shooed the little lion to a seat and then shook her head, a smile on her face. Another Gryffindor.

So yes, he may have walked all the way to the Muggle Studies room with his hand already positioned in the air, but the point here was that he wasn't going to forget the highfive. Because he had been prepared. HA. Who's laughing now, huh?

"Hey Professor," HIGH FIVE CONTACT INITIATED."I like what you've done with the place... It looks more roomy in here," he was talking about the positioning of the tables. It was... interesting. But he really did like it. And that's when he noticed something else he liked. Or uh, someone else. SOPHIE BROWN. Hi. "Heeeey," hope she wouldn't mind heh. "This seat taken?" Though he didn't wait for her response before setting his things down and getting comfortable in the chair.

As for the mood sticker... He was feeling pretty eh. So he just took the most neutral one he could pick out. That should do it, yeah?

HIGH FIVE INDEED. Moxley smiled at Zander, pleased to see him in good spirits. "It is more roomy, yes. We'll be needing the extra space in a bit." The brunette winked at him and then added. "I think you'll need to be updating the Gryffindors on class rules at some point, Mr. Adair. Just so you know."

sticker before stuck it to her cloth. And for the high five thing, she gave the Professor an Air-five. Not a big fans of physical contact here.

It looked like some of her classmate already there. After she found herself an empty seat FAR away from Henric and Adi, the Gryffindor waited for the lesson to begin.

Air five returned, Moxley smiled a bit at Miss Messer before saying, "Nice to see you!" It was, though it'd be nicer if she seemed a bit more enthusiastic to be in her class.

Janelle searched for an empty seat, giving waves to her friends along the way. She plopped down in the first empty seat she saw. This time she made sure not to upset any friend/relationship dynamics, at least those that she knew of. Janelle took out her pen and paper and placed it on her desk. Then she eyed the selection of mood stickers laying on her desk. She chose a purple happy face and placed it on her clothes. Hopefully class would be starting soon.

Now this was what she was talking about. Happiness. "Morning, Janelle!" It was a good morning and it was only going to get better once class started, obviously.

"Hi Professor, did you have a lovely summer?" Angel smiled as she looked at the Professor, she then grabbed a sticker and put it on her chest before she decided that she would sit down and wait to see what they were all going to do next because it looked like it was going to be amazing.

Another missed high five opportunity. SIGH. Moxley glanced over at Zander and then gestured to Angel, an indication that another Gryffindor hadn't read the rules thoroughly. It was disappointing.

"It was lovely, Angel, thank you. I must request you reread my classroom rules before my next lesson, okay?" Maybe she should've been taking points all along.

Lots of students were already here so instead of saying hi to everybody one by one, she gave them all a beam. "Sup, everybody?" There. That covered it and quite nicely too she might add.

Sliding into a seat, she looked around eager for the lesson to start. Please let there be food somewhere in the lesson today. Pretty please.

"Why thank you, Ms. Valentine! I'm glad everyone seems to approve of my outfit today." For reasons. Hehe.

Plus, the Professor was quirky and fun. Walking to the classroom, she put on her favorite hoodie and a pair of jeans, along with her favorite navy converse. "Hello, Professor. It's such a nice outfit!" The Gryffindor said and gave Moxley a high-five. See? She's a very cool Professor. Hehehe. Ava then chose to sit next to Candice. Hiiii!! Hehehe.

And mood sticker? She put on the happy one of course.

"Thank you, Miss Burton! Nice to see you!" Moxley was up and walking towards the door. It was just a few minutes shy of being time to start and she was ready to begin.

"Hello, Professor," Lady. Person. Whose surname he had forgotten. The Slytherin gave her a smile before moving to sit next to......

............ Owen! The remembered THAT ~~part giant~~ kid. "You're very red in the face. Do you feel hot or something?" Because it wasn't THAT hot in here, c'mon Owen.

And the mood sticker? He was going to go with one that had a simple smile on it ~~for now~~.

That was INDEED how it was done. Moxley was pleased with the boy's enthusiasm and she let out a little giggle at his jump, amused. "Hello, Mr. Romalotti! Nicely done." The entrance. She'd give it a solid ten.

Yoongi walked to the muggle studies classroom from the Gryffindor Common Room, school bag hoisted over his shoulders. As he neared the room, he saw the Professor standing near the door and thankfully he had read the rules this time as he did not want to lose points. "Hey Professor, had a nice summer?" he asked as he gave her a high five . Strangely, it was making him feel happier...huh?

"Good to see you, Mr. Hyland and I did, yes!" And that making him feel happier thing? That was the whole point. Moxley would've been pumped if she knew the high fiving was doing the trick.

This year Puck was going to prove that she was a good student and well…study for her NEWTs because she didn’t want to fail any this term. “Nice shirt Professor Moxley,” she smiled over to the Professor as she found a seat for herself and settled into one of the U shaped tables. Dead center. After all she didn’t want to have to shift for people. Pick a side people. Be awesome.

Okay, she'd given the others a reminder but Miss Greyvson was a prefect, for Merlin's sake. "I hate to do this, Prefect Greyvson, but five points from Gryffindor." Her voice was low, as not to embarrass the older girl. "You're meant to set an example and I was very clear about reading the updated rules. I'm sure you'll earn back the points in no time." And she felt bad about this, she did. It was written all over her face.

Not too lovesick, because he'd also wrote letters to all of his Professors and friends and kept them all. No one had really wanted to hear from a Ravenclaw with all of the questions, did they?

BURSTING through the door behind one of his peers, Rooney had his hand up as high as possible for a high five with the Professor. BUT before she could high five him, he moved his hand down and beamed. "Toooo slow, Professor!!" Hahaha. Funny funny Bronwyn boy. Could he get a sticker now or would he need to actually high five her?

He was clever though, right?

Oh. OH! Meredith Moxley had not anticipated that and the professor let out a chuckle, so amused that the second year had done what he'd done. "You got me, Mr. Bronwyn! Very clever!" And she liked his spunk, she did. "Why don't you go find a seat and a sticker!"

Typical since he was busy finishing up eating. He was gonna have lots of energy for this lesson. As he looked to the front of the room he noticed the Professor was wearing a bowling uniform? He furrowed his brows in confusion. Oooohhhkaaayyyy? That was weird but it gave a hint about what they were doing.

He went to the back of the room to find a seat and was getting prepared to do something bowling related. Maybe he could get some strikes and spares.

.......

Moxley's good mood was deflating now. Another one who didn't read the rules. Really, it wasn't that hard. It wasn't. All the sads. Internal ones because she was a professional, but still. She motioned for the Slytherin to sit.

He hadn't seen it much, but she looked like she belonged in the Shrunken Head Bowling Alley.

Oh Right Bowling!

AW WHAT A TOTAL DREG!! Keane knew about Bowling! He was hoping for something new today. He grabbed a seat near the curve of the U shape the Desks were making and dropped his things beneath his Desk.

SIGHHHHH.

Now she was going to have to address this, wasn't she? Oh gosh.

After closing the door once the last of the students had arrived, Professor Moxley moved back to the middle of the room and looked around at the students. "Look," She began softly,"I know there are a lot of rules to remember at school. I also know that new ones have been added. While I know that there will be times when you've forgotten one or two, I do expect you to at least read them. It's evident this morning that many of you didn't even bother to do that, which is quite sad." She didn't write the things down just to have nobody follow them. "I expect next class you will all have refreshed your memories. Prefects, I'm trusting you to remind the younger students to do so." Here's looking at you, Puck Greyvson. "And with that said, let's move on to the fun, shall we?" A smile graced her lips then and she began to pace.

"Muggles, like witches and wizards, go to school, work, and then come home and have families to feed and care for. Life can be hectic at times and that is why it is necessary to make time to go out and do things that you enjoy." Were they with her so far? She was talking about fun. Surely they could get on board with that.

"Pastimes are activities one does for enjoyment rather than for work. One such pastime for the wizarding community would be recreational Quidditch. That's quite popular among the masses. Can anyone hazard a guess as to what a popular muggle pastime might be?"

It was the greenish one with the grin on it as usual. ''You look great, by the way,'' he added before heading off to grab a seat in the U shaped formation. Adi opted for a seat on the right hand side then happily sat down. Where was everyone else? One should not be late for awesome classes as Moxley's. Enthusiastic indeed. So enthuiastic, in fact, that Meredith Moxley let out a little yelp and shook her hand after. "Merlin, Prefect Rehman! You're an agressive high fiver. Take it easy on a lady, hm?" The smile remained firmly fixed on her face, the professor being more amused than anything else. She was glad to see the kids getting into the new rules rather than complaining about them. "And thank you!" She knew they'd get a kick out of her bowling shirt. It was fabulous, after all. Quote: Originally Posted by Squishy She was the second one there?

Okay, that was a little weird...but she had seen the new rules and knew that it was required of her even if it made no sense. "Nice outfit." Now for her mood sticker... Paulina wasn't sure how she felt right now besides confused, so she opted for a sticker that appeared to look how she felt. Yep, that worked perfectly. "Miss Holiday, lovely to see you!" Moxley's hand was still a bit tingly from Adi's high five so she opted to switch hands for this one. Another comment on her outfit? The brunette beamed. "That's nice of you to say, thank you!" Quote: Originally Posted by Holmesian Feline Having read up on the class rules, the seventh year had noticed the extra ones like the rest of the professors had added so far.

"Good day, Professor Moxley," he greeted the woman with a polite smile before remembering the rule and moving to give her a high five like it had directed. He then moved to take a seat of his own, noticing Adi and Paulina were the only other ones there. These high fives were pumping Moxley up, did the kids know? There was nothing like a good solid hand slap between peeps (Peeps? Did kids still say peeps? Err) to put a smile on your face. "Mr. Atreyu, nice to see you!" Quote: Originally Posted by Stefan Bag on his shoulder, and hands inside his pockets, Ethan knocked on the door of the classroom, took a peek and grinned at the professor waiting for them to arrive. “Heeey Professor Moxley! Great day, isn’t it?” he greeted as he walked over to her and gave her a high-five. Merlin, awesome professor was awesome! "Mr. Mordaunt! It is a great day, yes!" Moxley nodded enthusiastically and then gestured for Ethan to find a seat. She was glad to see the Slytherin in good spirits. He seemed to have a great attitude and the muggle studies enthusiast approved. Quote: Originally Posted by feeheeheeny Still, at the sight of Moxley, Sophie DID smile and hurried her way up to the front to connect a BIG OL' HIGH-FIVE WITH THE MOXINATOR. "Hi, professor. You're looking ravishing, as always." Her clothes were a little funny, but funny was the norm here at Hogwarts, so it didn't faze the Head Girl one bit. Sophie Brown was a good egg, did she know? Moxley had decided as much when she'd come over at the feast and informed some of the staff (her included, obviously) about Mr. Fuller-Thompson missing them. Who could blame the kid? Certainly not Moxley. She was an excellent educator! "Head Girl Brown, nice to see you! You're wearing the badge well, I must say." And she expected that the Ravenclaw would be a model student as always. Quote: Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy Walking into the room she gave Professor Moxley a light smile and a high five as she passed her desk. "Hello Professor, nice outfit." Hady grinned a little curious as to the point behind the professors clothing today. Surely they wouldn't be actually muggle bowling in the classroom but maybe something similar to it? "Hello, Miss Lynch! Thank you. I must say the shirt seems to be quite the hit." She grinned, pleased about this. Perhaps she should rock a bowling shirt all the time. They were comfy, after all. Quote: Originally Posted by Meizzner "Hey Professor Moxley" Dante said giving her a high five. He liked this rule better than Airey's at least. Too much stuff to remember in his class. He went to a desk in the end of the U. Farthest away from Moxley and looked at the stickers. Couldn't there just be one that says whatever with a shrug. That was his mood. Usually always his mood. So he choose the most neutral looking face possible and stuck it to his robes. Whatever. "Mr. Barrington, hope you're well!" Moxley was starting to realize that because she was so incredibly popular and well-loved, a lot of students tended to show up to her class. That meant a lot of high fives and...she'd probably need to ice her hands or something after this. Didn't really think that one through. Hm. Quote: Originally Posted by SarcasticStrawberry Cinna walked into the muggle studies classroom, there was a few students in the room already. Seeing Moxley at her she walked and greeted her. "Hello Professor. Hope you're... Oh you must be having a great day." Noticing her sticker, assuming her mood coordinated her the sticker she was wearing. Oh, yeah. High five. She held up her hand. One day Moxley she was going to pull a high five, low five, middle five to slow thing on her one of these lessons. Tehe. "Very observant of you, Miss Bayless!" Moxley was pleased to see the Gryffindor using the stickers in the way they were intended to be used. "I do hope you're having a good day as well!" Quote: Originally Posted by Felixir Why was Daxton here? Curiosity, plain and simple. He had very little desire to waste his time learning about 'muggles', especially considering he had spent his life believing (to an extent) that he was one, when all Daxton really wanted to do was learn about wizards. He was bored of muggles, really. But seeing how wizards spoke about them? Even having the chance to see them get it spectacularly wrong? Daxton was here for that. And probably never again in the future, considering what the classroom rules were. Speaking of which, Daxton made sure to duck into the classroom behind a couple of older kids and take a seat right near the door, hopefully before he could be noticed. Because high fives were weird and anxiety-inducing and also stupid. Even 'air-fives'; they made no sense, and Daxton did not trust them, and he did not like interacting with anyone... so he avoided that part altogether. On his desk, Daxton found the sheet of stickers (what exactly was it with this place and stickers?). He was actually willing to wear one of these - at least they did not have to wear them on their foreheads - but when he looked closely at the options, he found himself completely and utterly, hopelessly confused. These were moods? How were they supposed to tell which was which? And aside from that, how was Daxton supposed to be able to tell what he was feeling right now anyway? He could not identify feeling anything at that moment, other than confusion, because these stickers... these stickers made no sense whatsoever. And Daxton was sure he did not like feeling confused. He blinked at the sheet, looked up at the teacher woman, Moxley, then back at the stickers again. What the heck? Moxley had noticed the boy as soon as he'd found a seat and his lack of high five (and air five) was noted. She would've probably asked about it had it not been for the look of total confusion on hi face as he looked over the stickers. Scooting off her desk, she was about to walk over when Dot beat her to it. She'd keep an eye on things but she trusted the red head to help out. Quote: Originally Posted by littledhampir Olly was actually fairly early for once.

Oliver practically ran to the front of the room to give the professor a very excited high five. These rules he liked. They were not confusing, or too weird. They didn't involve words he didn't know the meaning of, sharing his candy, or removing any articles of clothing. And he liked high fives. "Hello professor!" He greeted with a tone just as enthusiastic as his high five. "How are you today?" Oops, just after asking the question he noticed the happy face sticker on her shirt. Two thumbs up to you, professor Moxley. This little one had energy to spare it seemed. Spare. Hehehe. Amusing considering today's topic. Moxley grinned, amused by her thoughts as the first year approached and offered her a high five. "Great to see you! I'm doing wonderful, thanks for asking! I hope you're doing good as well." He certainly seemed to be. Quote: Originally Posted by LilFox06 Muggle studies was always fun for someone who grew up in the muggle world. Kaycee looked having an easy class. Plus it usually meant games. She high-fived the Professor on the way in. Again, the rules were so weird this term. But, whatever, she'd roll with it. She looked around before grabbing a seat next to Dante. She smiled at him before looking over the stickers. She considered them before adding the indifferent one to the front of her robes. She couldn't quite figure out which one was the judgmental sticker. Home girl had opinions on outfits. "Hello, Miss Richards." Moxley said, watching the girl as she picked a sticker for herself. High fives were appreciated but a greeting was always nice, as well. Just saying. Kids these days, seriously. Quote: Originally Posted by ChanceCoeur Entering the classroom, Noelle looked around. It was nice and sunny in here. She wished she was as bright and sunny as she usually was. Then she would match the room, but alas, not today. She slept horribly because she was overwhelmed with homesickness and then got up 'on the wrong side of the bed'. Like her mum would say. Shuffling to one of the desks on the U shape, Noelle sat in one of the curves. She was small enough to scoot into the side and plop right down. She was too tired, and put her head on the desk. Oh right.... she needed to greet the professor. Seeing the brunette professor, she gave a little finger wave under her chin and dropped her head back to the desk. She didnt even bother to see who was sitting beside her. This was not the Noelle Grace Summers that was usually so bubbly. Moxley was pretty easy going as far as professors went-or she liked to think so, anyway. Still, she was always a bit annoyed when the kids didn't bother to read her classroom rules. Even the adorable ickle ones. "Miss Summers, it's nice to see you. It seems that you've neglected to read the newest classroom rules as high fives and wearing a mood sticker have been added to the list." She regarded the girl thoughtfully and then continued. "I trust you'll remember next time, or loss of house points will be the repercussion." Oh and also, "And do please sit up in my class. I really don't want you missing out on any of the fun!" Really truly. Quote: Originally Posted by SilverTiger Making her way to the front of the setup, she raised her hand for the high-five that was requested. Way too mundane, but if she had to she would. “Good day, Professor Moxley,” she added, giving the woman her normal smile reserved for professors. Before she turned back to claim a seat sort of halfway between Hady and Ethan. That way she could maybe guarantee not getting an irritating partner if they did a partner activity later in the lesson. Maybe. Nothing really was guaranteed here, and the stickers just proved that. She found one that was rather indifferent, and stuck it to the collar of her shirt. At least she didn’t have to put it on her forehead this time. She still thought the stickers were stupid. "Hello, Miss Andrews!" Moxley returned the smile and wondered if Mr. Rehman and Miss Andrews should get together to discuss high five etiquette. They were both at opposite ends of the spectrum on that front. Quote: Originally Posted by Hera It was only for the reason that he didn't have t wear it on his forehead that he took one and put it on his robes. It was a neutral face. No smile. No frown. No sad face. No... however else you might describe those other faces. It was just... a face. "Hey, Professor," Zeke greeted as he made his way past her to find a seat along the side toward the back. Yeah. Weird seating arrangement - for Hogwarts, but he'd live. "Hello! Mr. Browne, I think you're forgetting something." Was this not reading the rules thing a Gryffindor trait? Wait-Moxley was a former Gryffindor! This was totally a Gryffindor trait! Heh. Well, she still needed to say something. "High five or air five in greeting, Zeke! Please be familiar with the rules." Even if he did think they were silly. Quote: Originally Posted by Sararara OH YEAH. It was TIME. Best time of the day for SURE. Okay, maybe it was tied with lunch, but it totally still counted. Norah entered the muggle studies classroom with a ginormous beam and a hand up all ready to high-five Professor Moxley. "HI Professor! I like your shirt. Really really really nice color." Uh huh. Not as good as the Hufflepuff yellow she'd been sporting at the beginning of term but still FABULOUS. She took a seat at a desk without even second guessing the funny table arrangement 'cause it was probably for a very good reason, and took out her note taking materials. That's right. Resident prefect all ready to prove her maturity and all those good things, 'cause for some reason Professor Moxley thought she had those. Maybe they were just hiding. With a purple sticker stuck to the front of her robes because it had the very biggest smile of all the stickers, Norah sat and waited with her lips zipped tight shut. So ready, man. SO. READY. "Prefect Kittredge, nice to see you!" And Moxley would be forever mentally praising Norah's great attitude. She put a lot into her lessons and it was nice to see some of the students seeming excited about being here. "Thank you! I've had it for quite some time. I'm pretty fond of the color myself." It suited her, as most colors did! Quote: Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl Uhhhhhhhhhhhh another Muggle Studies lesson.

He just didn't get all the Muggley stuff they had to learn. Still, he plucked out a blue mood sticker that looked like :S and walked past the professor, giving her a silent, solemn air five as he passed. He settled into a seat, adjusted his many, many sheets of parchment for the notes he desperately needed to take, and settled his chin on his hand. Serious little guy was serious. Must be that Ravenclaw angst setting in, hm? Moxley didn't wish that on anyone so she simply returned the air five and smiled a bit at the first year. "Hello, Mr. Truebridge!"

Brian was really indecisive about which sticker to pic - he was indecisive about everything, really - so he picked all the happiest looking stickers and stuck them to his clothes. Which meant that he had at least seven on. He was HAPPY, okay? And excited! BEAM. YUP. Moxley could tell he was happy. SO happy. She approved, of course. The Hufflepuffs as a whole were causing her to smile more these days. Buncha positive little puffs. "Mr. Woods, great to see you!"

Right, she nearly forgot about that part of the new rules. Perusing the sheet, she stuck a blue :-] looking one to her robes. She wasn't displeased to be here, but she definitely couldn't be qualified as extensively happy either. "Miss Mancini, welcome!" Moxley greeted the Ravenclaw cheerfully. "I'm doing great, thanks! I do hope you are, too." Quote: Originally Posted by Symphora Henric walked to his Head of House and Muggle Professor class with you guessed it, a pumpkin pastry in his hand.

Upon entering, he was quite surprised at the change of their seating layout. Nice! He approached the professor and smiled,"Good morning professor Moxley, I have something for you, pumpkin pastries...freshly baked of course." He noticed the outfit she was wearing today.Oh? It looked like she was wearing a bowling outfit. "Very nice shirt, professor. Where you did you get it?"he asked as a polite gesture. Grinning broadly, he turned around to choose a seat available at the corner. It seemed everyone already here, he waved to his friends and sat down. "Hello, Henric! That was quite nice of you." Except the pumpkin pastries didn't quite make up for the fact that the Hufflepuff hadn't read the new rules. "I got it at a yard sale quite a while ago, actually. On sale, can you believe it?" It had been a steal! Also, "Mr. Nicolei, I do hope you'll read the updated rules next class or I'll be forced to take five points from Hufflepuff. I trust one of your prefects can direct you on where to find them." Quote: Originally Posted by lazykitty Muggle Studies. The only class so far where the new rules weren't too weird. A fact that Heather was thankful for as she entered class, high-fived Moxley and plopped down in her seat, placing a smiley sticker on her shirt. And it looked like they where studying bowling today. Or, Professor Moxley was wearing a bowling shirt anyway. And her outfits were usually an indication of what they were studying. Somewhat. "Hello, Miss Xanthopoulos!" It was good to see the seventh year had read the notice about the rules. Moxley gave a nod of approval before hopping back onto the edge of her desk again, feet swinging as she waited for the next student to arrive. Quote: Originally Posted by emjay Dressed in his favorite t-shirt and a pair of jeans, he headed into class. "Hi, Professor Moxley!" he greeted his Head of House with a grin, then offered her a high-five. Though he thought it an unusual rule when he read it, it certainly didn't bother him. He just thought it was kind of cool. "Mr. Whittebrook, hello!" It was good to see so many badgers in attendance. This clearly meant that she was adored and accepted by them. ~~Or that they felt obligated to show up to her lessons because she was head of house...~~ Quote: Originally Posted by DanialRadFAN01 "Hello Professor." Milo had his green sticker placed on his robes (a smilie face with its tongue sticking out) and approached the woman at her desk to give her a high five. Her clothes seemed strange to the first year but of course he didn't say anything about them. After the handshake, he found himself a seat and waited for the lesson to begin. "Hello, Mr. Vogel!" Meredith returned the high five and greeted the Ravenclaw with a signature Moxley smile. Then glancing down at her watch, she noted it was almost time to start class. Quote: Originally Posted by Tazzie Sticker in place, Owen stepped inside the classroom and staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared at the Professor. Blush blush blush. "Hello, Professor maa'm." Then high-five'd her shyly. Eeep! N'aww, what a cutie! Moxley grinned at the Hufflepuff and returned the high five, noting the blush. "Mr. Montezor, great to see you!" And the color of his cheeks went quite well with the shade of her shirt, how nice! Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin Dot was feeling particularly marvelous, because it was time for Muggle Studies, and she liked this class and she liked Moxley and she wasn't sure what was going to happen but it was always FUN.

I like that you're wearing pink, because it looks like a particularly happy color on you. It's a very interesting shirt, and I bet you'll tell me about it in a minute, but I'd like it more if we added your name in glittery thread right over the pocket. Maybe later?" And then she was moonwalking or something back to her seat and looking at the stickers. They were all a little basic and not really representative of the sunburst in her belly, so Dot just chose the one that looked like it had an orange slice in its mouth. She bared all her teeth in a truly terrifying grin and tried to look like her sticker. Oh, a lost baby one! Dot put her scary teeth-face away and leaned over, tapping the blue one (for Ravenclaw!!!) with the little 'O' mouth. Maybe he wanted a hug or something? But you had to ask, and she wasn't supposed to be talking out of turn and... being responsible was exhausting. "Maybe that one. It's okay if it isn't perfect. It's just a social convention. You do it to please someone else and make the moment go away faster. I'm Dot, and I don't actually smile like my sticker. D'you need a hug? I give excellent hugs, but I have to ask first." She may have peeked at Moxley to make sure her talking wasn't a problem. Merlin, this one was a talker. The brunette listened intently, an amused smile playing on her lips. She had to admit that her name in sparkles would be just the thing to make this shirt better and so she nodded enthusiastically. "I think I'll let you do that, Dot. If you're offering, I mean." She'd help a muggle studies professor out, right? Yes, Dot was always good for helping which is certainly why she deserved her badge. Moxley was appreciative of her instructions and she gave a reassuring smile when the Slytherin glanced over to see if it was okay she was doing so. Quote: Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo Blaise Bellaire was on top of things, so on top that the moment he headed into the classroom, he walked right up to the chipper looking Professor at the front with his widest dimpled grin and gave her a firm high five. Why? Because the rules outside said so and FOR ONCE he read them before entering. "Hi Professor! You're looking awful fancy today!" No doubt his quill had found a much nicer way of saying so; it had such a way with words. The thing usually made him sound smarter and smoother than he actually was--but only half the time. "Why thank you, Mr. Bellaire! I must say I'm feeling fancy as well." The muggle studies professor smiled at the first year and then watched him find a seat. The first years were adorable, the lot of them.

I'm ElleryGwenogBORZEKOWSKI-Thomas and I was wondering, what years are we gonna be learning about? Recent history? Or like…WAAAAY BACK???" That hair though? Moxley considered the small one thoughtfully, reaching out to touch a pigtail that was sticking up right in front of her nose. Strange. "Hello, Ellery. You'll find out all about today's topic in just a few minutes. In the meantime, I do suggest you find a prefect to update you on my rules as next time I won't give a reminder, I'll just take points." The brunette shooed the little lion to a seat and then shook her head, a smile on her face. Another Gryffindor.

Because he had been prepared. HA. Who's laughing now, huh? "Hey Professor," HIGH FIVE CONTACT INITIATED."I like what you've done with the place... It looks more roomy in here," he was talking about the positioning of the tables. It was... interesting. But he really did like it. And that's when he noticed something else he liked. Or uh, someone else. SOPHIE BROWN. Hi. "Heeeey," hope she wouldn't mind heh. "This seat taken?" Though he didn't wait for her response before setting his things down and getting comfortable in the chair. As for the mood sticker... He was feeling pretty eh. So he just took the most neutral one he could pick out. That should do it, yeah? HIGH FIVE INDEED. Moxley smiled at Zander, pleased to see him in good spirits. "It is more roomy, yes. We'll be needing the extra space in a bit." The brunette winked at him and then added. "I think you'll need to be updating the Gryffindors on class rules at some point, Mr. Adair. Just so you know."

And for the high five thing, she gave the Professor an Air-five. Not a big fans of physical contact here. It looked like some of her classmate already there. After she found herself an empty seat FAR away from Henric and Adi, the Gryffindor waited for the lesson to begin. Air five returned, Moxley smiled a bit at Miss Messer before saying, "Nice to see you!" It was, though it'd be nicer if she seemed a bit more enthusiastic to be in her class.

Janelle searched for an empty seat, giving waves to her friends along the way. She plopped down in the first empty seat she saw. This time she made sure not to upset any friend/relationship dynamics, at least those that she knew of. Janelle took out her pen and paper and placed it on her desk. Then she eyed the selection of mood stickers laying on her desk. She chose a purple happy face and placed it on her clothes. Hopefully class would be starting soon. Now this was what she was talking about. Happiness. "Morning, Janelle!" It was a good morning and it was only going to get better once class started, obviously.

Angel smiled as she looked at the Professor, she then grabbed a sticker and put it on her chest before she decided that she would sit down and wait to see what they were all going to do next because it looked like it was going to be amazing. Another missed high five opportunity. SIGH. Moxley glanced over at Zander and then gestured to Angel, an indication that another Gryffindor hadn't read the rules thoroughly. It was disappointing. "It was lovely, Angel, thank you. I must request you reread my classroom rules before my next lesson, okay?" Maybe she should've been taking points all along.

Sliding into a seat, she looked around eager for the lesson to start. Please let there be food somewhere in the lesson today. Pretty please. "Why thank you, Ms. Valentine! I'm glad everyone seems to approve of my outfit today." For reasons. Hehe.

Plus, the Professor was quirky and fun. Walking to the classroom, she put on her favorite hoodie and a pair of jeans, along with her favorite navy converse. "Hello, Professor. It's such a nice outfit!" The Gryffindor said and gave Moxley a high-five. See? She's a very cool Professor. Hehehe. Ava then chose to sit next to Candice. Hiiii!! Hehehe. And mood sticker? She put on the happy one of course. "Thank you, Miss Burton! Nice to see you!" Moxley was up and walking towards the door. It was just a few minutes shy of being time to start and she was ready to begin.

"You're very red in the face. Do you feel hot or something?" Because it wasn't THAT hot in here, c'mon Owen. And the mood sticker? He was going to go with one that had a simple smile on it ~~for now~~. That was INDEED how it was done. Moxley was pleased with the boy's enthusiasm and she let out a little giggle at his jump, amused. "Hello, Mr. Romalotti! Nicely done." The entrance. She'd give it a solid ten.

"Hey Professor, had a nice summer?" he asked as he gave her a high five . Strangely, it was making him feel happier...huh? "Good to see you, Mr. Hyland and I did, yes!" And that making him feel happier thing? That was the whole point. Moxley would've been pumped if she knew the high fiving was doing the trick.

This year Puck was going to prove that she was a good student and well…study for her NEWTs because she didn’t want to fail any this term. “Nice shirt Professor Moxley,” she smiled over to the Professor as she found a seat for herself and settled into one of the U shaped tables. Dead center. After all she didn’t want to have to shift for people. Pick a side people. Be awesome. Okay, she'd given the others a reminder but Miss Greyvson was a prefect, for Merlin's sake. "I hate to do this, Prefect Greyvson, but five points from Gryffindor." Her voice was low, as not to embarrass the older girl. "You're meant to set an example and I was very clear about reading the updated rules. I'm sure you'll earn back the points in no time." And she felt bad about this, she did. It was written all over her face. Quote: Originally Posted by Shanners This was going to be his favourite class of this year, he could feel it in his bones.

Not too lovesick, because he'd also wrote letters to all of his Professors and friends and kept them all. No one had really wanted to hear from a Ravenclaw with all of the questions, did they? BURSTING through the door behind one of his peers, Rooney had his hand up as high as possible for a high five with the Professor. BUT before she could high five him, he moved his hand down and beamed. "Toooo slow, Professor!!" Hahaha. Funny funny Bronwyn boy. Could he get a sticker now or would he need to actually high five her? He was clever though, right? Oh. OH! Meredith Moxley had not anticipated that and the professor let out a chuckle, so amused that the second year had done what he'd done. "You got me, Mr. Bronwyn! Very clever!" And she liked his spunk, she did. "Why don't you go find a seat and a sticker!" Quote: Originally Posted by Expecto-Penguin Muggle Studies.

Typical since he was busy finishing up eating. He was gonna have lots of energy for this lesson. As he looked to the front of the room he noticed the Professor was wearing a bowling uniform? He furrowed his brows in confusion. Oooohhhkaaayyyy? That was weird but it gave a hint about what they were doing. He went to the back of the room to find a seat and was getting prepared to do something bowling related. Maybe he could get some strikes and spares. ....... Moxley's good mood was deflating now. Another one who didn't read the rules. Really, it wasn't that hard. It wasn't. All the sads. Internal ones because she was a professional, but still. She motioned for the Slytherin to sit.

He hadn't seen it much, but she looked like she belonged in the Shrunken Head Bowling Alley. Oh Right Bowling! AW WHAT A TOTAL DREG!! Keane knew about Bowling! He was hoping for something new today. He grabbed a seat near the curve of the U shape the Desks were making and dropped his things beneath his Desk. SIGHHHHH. Now she was going to have to address this, wasn't she? Oh gosh. After closing the door once the last of the students had arrived, Professor Moxley moved back to the middle of the room and looked around at the students. "Look," She began softly,"I know there are a lot of rules to remember at school. I also know that new ones have been added. While I know that there will be times when you've forgotten one or two, I do expect you to at least read them. It's evident this morning that many of you didn't even bother to do that, which is quite sad." She didn't write the things down just to have nobody follow them. "I expect next class you will all have refreshed your memories. Prefects, I'm trusting you to remind the younger students to do so." Here's looking at you, Puck Greyvson. "And with that said, let's move on to the fun, shall we?" A smile graced her lips then and she began to pace. "Muggles, like witches and wizards, go to school, work, and then come home and have families to feed and care for. Life can be hectic at times and that is why it is necessary to make time to go out and do things that you enjoy." Were they with her so far? She was talking about fun. Surely they could get on board with that. "Pastimes are activities one does for enjoyment rather than for work. One such pastime for the wizarding community would be recreational Quidditch. That's quite popular among the masses. Can anyone hazard a guess as to what a popular muggle pastime might be?" __________________
