"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.

Blaise paused at his spot by the Professor for a moment, wondering WHERE he would sit when he realized the spot next to Noelle was still empty so THAT was where he was going to sit. "Hi!" The boy watched with tempered interest as his quill and notepad settled in by him at his desk, ready to distort the days records but by now he knew better so he fished out a proper quill and parchment too....just in case.

As for the sticker? He didn't know how he was feeling yet so he stuck a bunch of them on his robes. His classmates could figure it out.

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?"

Noelle shuffled her chin around her desk to find a comfortable spot ~~And to also see who was coming in~~ . She saw many faces she recognized. She gave a brief smile to Henry who she had seen catch her eye. He deserved one. She liked him.

Hearing a voice beside her, Noelle looked to see Blaise sitting beside her. She offered him a small smile too because he was nice and her friend.

Hearing the teacher start talking... She realized she didn't grab a sticker. Groaning, she laid her forehead on the table. Come on Noelle, cheer up now.

Sighing, she listened to the professor talk some more. She kept her head on the desk though. Finally, not wanting to loose any points, she carefully lifted her head and lifted her hand. " my family is half-blood but we live as muggle farmers .. So we farmed and played different games such as corn hole to past the time.

"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. "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!" 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!" "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. 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. "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. "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. "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!" 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. 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. "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. 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. "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. "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. "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! 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!" 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!" "Miss Mancini, welcome!" Moxley greeted the Ravenclaw cheerfully. "I'm doing great, thanks! I do hope you are, too." "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." "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...~~ "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! 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 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. 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. 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." 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. 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. 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. "Why thank you, Ms. Valentine! I'm glad everyone seems to approve of my outfit today." For reasons. Hehe. "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. 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. "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. 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. 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!" ....... 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. 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.

"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.
