Tiara was pleased at how efficiently her students had been able to arrange themselves and get started. Sometimes that was difficult earlier on in the year. But really, she was quite pleased at the sound of all the side conversations happening while the students played. She could tell that the seeds of new acquaintances and friendships were being formed!

"Professor what is tic-tac-toe?" Angel thought that was what the Professor had said and so she decided to ask, there was no point in doing something wrong though apparently she needed a partner to play this game.
"Anyone want to be my partner?" Angel asked the room at large, she then looked at the Professor and waited to find out what game it was she was playing. Quote:

He confirmed her understanding by nodding at her explanation, this would be great. "That's it, so... which do you want to be? The nought? Or the cross?" he had no preference, it was all the same to him. Quickly scratching up a grid on the page, he waited for her to answer.
Really? Because she had been so sure that everyone would have heard of this game before... Tiara made her way over to the girl to show her how it was done, but before she reached her destination, Zeke Rogers stepped in. "Oh yes, noughts and crosses. Sorry, Angel." She forgot she was in the minority on its name. Text Cut: Daxton Quote:

He blinked, staring at the parchment and then up at the boy who had asked to join him. Daxton recognised him of course. Blaise Bellaire, with whom he had conspired in Defence Against the Dark Arts to turn out the lights and throw the broom closet full of people into darkness. The Gryffindor boy got a moment of shrewd consideration, before Daxton put pen to parchment again and drew in his next move, a means of silent consent. Tiara had her eye on this young man, wondering how he would handle the request to pair up. As she suspected, he simply didn't do it. But then the Bellaire boy stepped in and, to her surprise, was accepted. Good. Perhaps Daxton was making some friends after all. She nodded her approval. Text Cut: Adi Quote:

He lowered his voice now to whisper something only Benny could hear. "This game sucks. I never liked it.'' He hoped whatever Tanner had planned next would be much more interesting.
He moved on to set up another grid. "I reckon we still have some time left to play. You go first now and you can have Xs if you like.'' Wasn't he the ever considerate bestie? Haha.
She may be older, but her hearing was still sharp! And therefore it shocked her to hear the closest thing to negativity she had ever heard coming out of Aditya Rehman's mouth. "I am sorry you feel that way, Mister Rehman," she muttered, also under her breath. She had no idea if he would hear that or not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking around, she could tell that most people were finishing up. "Wrap it up if you would please, students! Then feel free to return to your seats if you moved, or stay where you are, either way."
Another minute passed as she made her way to the front of the room and waited for things to settle down. "So. Today we will explore the Arrows of Pythagoras. Don't worry, no real arrows are about to come flying at you," she quipped. not that it was a good joke at all "The Arrows are related to the topic of karma, which we delved into a bit last year. They are also excellent ways of identifying personality traits, both positive and negative."
A jabbing motion of her wand made a grid appear on the board. "This is the basic grid you start off with. The first step is to highlight, circle, star, or somehow mark which numbers from your full birth date are used, ignoring any zero you might have, of course." Picking up the chalk, she wrote "21 June, 2037" on the board. "This is my birth date, so I will highlight the 2, 1, 6, 3, and 7." Another flick showed this on the board.
"So go ahead and give it a try. You need your grid filled in using the same order of numbers as you see up here." The numbers were in that order for a reason. Changing them would mess with the emotional, mental, and spiritual planes... not good.

OOC: Feel free to get a last post in with your tic-tac-toe game. Definitely didn't know other countries called it noughts and crosses, sorry about that!  If you want to make a graphic, go for it; otherwise just use font color to designate your numbers (like so..). 3 6 9 2 5 8 1 4 7
