"Hi Professor!" The boy greeted with a grin so wide his dimples were made obvious. "Are we playing hopscotch today?" The boy took a seat closer to the centre of the room so he could see the square that was made in there.
"Don't reckon I've ever seen it make that shape before but we'll figure it out." The boy snapped his fingers for his quick quotes quill and notepad to float closer. He needed it taking a sketch of this for later in case it was important--and he needed the quote from the Professor too. You know, just her take on the game and why she chose to draw it in such a way.
In the meantime he pulled out his text and a piece of parchment. Totally ready for this lesson. Ah yes, the Bellaire child. He had not been what she expected, but then again, few things - or people - were. But those dimples... she just wanted to grab hold of his cheeks and pinch them! However, she easily resisted the urge and instead merely answered his query. "Well met, Mister Bellaire. And if you would like to play hopscotch, I would take you on." She was mostly joking, but also slightly serious. Quote:

Nope, he didn’t need to be extra vigilant, seeing that the professor was already inside waiting for their arrival. Making sure that this class didn’t have any ridiculous new rule to abide to, Ethan showed himself in, and gave a polite wave and nod to the woman up front. “It’s nice to see you again, Professor.” Hi, hello, suuuuuup!
After giving his greetings, the seventh year chose a seat at the back, giving the younger and shorter students the front seats.
And…what is that thing in the middle? Hmm. “Grid Arithmancy?” he asked no one in particular, since the room was still empty except for him, the professor, and small Gryffindor boy. Ethan sat back, opened his book and did a quick scan of the chapter that discusses it. And here was Mister Mordaunt! "And you as well, Mister Mordaunt. And you as well." She gave him a brief nod in acknowledgement of his guess. Quote:

"Hello, Professor!'' He had shifted his attention to the woman. "How are you?" Aside from the classroom, Gobstone matches were where he most often saw her. So... who else was here? Ah, Blaise and Ethan! The Hufflepuff headed for the Gryffindor. "Nice quill, Blaise,'' he said as he slipped into the seat beside him. Adi didn't think he had commented on the writing object before. Heeeeey, Ethan! He waved to his seventh year friend. And now another seventh year. Two of them plus one first year made for an interesting mix of students. But more would show up soon. "Hello yourself, Mister Rehman. I am doing quite well today, thank you. And hopefully you would say the same for yourself." Quote:

Walking through the door the first thing she saw was the large square made from tape with smaller squares and numbers inside. Tilting her head in silent question she shrugged her shoulders figuring she'd find out soon enough what this was about.
With a small grin and a wave she greeted Professor Tanner, "Hello Professor." Selecting her usual seat near the middle of the room Hady sat down and set her page at her feet. Reaching down she pulled out her textbook, parchment and quill setting them out on her desk. She was ready for the time being. Tiara returned the grin and wave of the next arrival. "Hello there, Miss Lynch. Any seat as usual." Quote:

He eyed the clearing suspiciously, unprepared for this change. What was this about? Was it too late to leave? Daxton glanced up at Tanner, and then back at the clearing, and squinted a little bit. Well... he would not leave, but only because he appreciated the subject of Arithmancy. He was, however, remaining near the door, and claimed a spot there now. Daxton did not greet the professor, or indeed anyone. He never did, after all; only remained silent and focused only on himself as he ever was. And then there was Daxton. She was actually a bit worried about the boy. He was always withdrawn, never interacting with practically anyone. And she still didn't really understand why that was.. but maybe she would find out soon. Quote:

He looked around for a place to sit and noticed Blaise. He couldn't sit by him. Ew, no. Never. Brow furrowed, Davie looked for a place opposite the Gryffindor.
Looked like he was going to be sitting by.... Daxton, today, near the door as usual. Davie shrugged and took a seat beside his dormmate. "Ah, Mister Truebridge! Welcome to class, pick any seat." She smiled at the boy, happy to see him. Quote:

"Hey, Professor Tanner"
Dante went to find a seat noticing the change in the set up in class and just shrugged.
It not like he sat in the middle of the class anyway.
He just took a seat and waited for another Arithmancy lesson to start. Yet another Slytherin. Was it get to class early day for Slytherin House or something? "Hey yourself, Mister Barrington." Quote:

"HI PROFESSOR," she said, walking in the door, then she found an empty seat and plopped herself into it. She hadn't braided her hair yet today. She started doing that. She had decided to just call this one by her first name. The surname was.. formidable and quite long. "Well hello, Miss Ellery!" What a bundle of enthusiasm! Tiara liked that. Quote:
Originally Posted by Sararara Norah entered the Arithmany classroom with a tiny wrinkle between here eyebrows. This was really not the day for Arithmancy.

She tried to stand up as straight as she could, taking big steps across the classroom until she reached Professor Tanner. "Hello, Professor." The words came out quieter and flatter than usual, so she added an overly-cheery smile at the end in the hopes that the professor wouldn't notice. Totally normal. Everything was TOTALLY normal, see? Norah's shoulders hunched over again as she trudged to a desk, not noticing the funny shapes on the floor until she'd sat down and pulled her note-taking materials out of her bag at the pace of a snail with a broken leg. She really should've hidden under her bed instead of showing up at this lesson. She'd keep that in mind for next time. Odd. Norah's tone did not match her face. But she decided not to say anything because, well, if she wanted to talk, she would. Quote:

"Hello Professor Tanner", Janelle said cheerfully. She made her way to an empty seat and gave a wave to Adi along the way. Then she sat down and began to prepare for class to begin. There was another eagle! "Hello there, Miss Guidry. It is so good to see you today," she said with a welcoming smile. Quote:

Eyeing the rather odd layout of the classroom, she wondered what they would be doing today. "Hello, Professor." She sent waves to people as she made her way towards her seat by Adi. Hopefully this lesson would go well for her because she generally struggled with the math and analysis. Good good, they were still coming. "And hello back, Miss Holiday." Quote:

The grid space on the floor caught his attention briefly, but he dismissed it just as quickly. By now he'd learnt that he was terrible at guessing the purpose of things. He was sure they wouldn't have to wait too long to find out. Tiara stuck her head out the door to see how many were still on their way. All she saw was one lone figure rounding the corner. She made her way back to the podium, then saw the figure was Zeke. "Hello, Mister Browne." Tiara cleared her throat. "Hello, everyone. Welcome to another lesson; let's get settled in." She gave them all several seconds to end their conversations and switch their minds into class mode. There, that was better. "Now. I assume you have noticed the new 'art' on the floor. Have an idea what it could be?" She knew for a fact that Mister Bellaire did. OOC: The lesson has officially started. Please do not announce your late arrival.
