Helena Ravenclaw
|  Resident Ghost of Ravenclaw | Intelligent & Evasive
Floating into the dark classroom, she glowed in a pale eerie light as she made her way up to her desk in front of the blackboard. With a small in audible snap of her fingers Helena turned on the lights in the room thinking that she was early and that the students had yet to arrive. It took all her practice as a lady to not yelp out in surprise. Instead she smiled faintly out, at the already assembled students saying. "Ah, how good of you to be here early for class. It's always better to be too early then to be late don't you think?" SPOILER!!: Individual replies Quote:

Maybe he was just a bit too eager for the class. He couldn't help it though. Not when the class was being taught by a ghost. In the front row Adi had already taken a seat. "Afternoon Adi, how are prefect duties going?" Helena greeted. Quote:

This serve as a way to not topple over a chair or into someone. Selecting a seat she slipped down into it setting her bag near her feet and gave a wave to Adi. Were they the only two here so far? "Afternoon Hady." Helena said with an elegant wave of the hand to the snakette. "Sorry about the darkness." Quote:

The professor didn't seem to be there yet, so Jet carefully and quietly walked towards one of the walls and took a seat in that area. "Hello Ms Wolford." Helena greeted flashing yet another snakette a thin smile. "Do you like sitting close to walls?" Quote:

Talk about AWKWARD. And what was even MORE awkward was that, as far as he could tell, Professor Ghost Lady wasn't here.UH. Turning her gaze Helena's eyes fell on yet another member of the snake house. "Afternoon Phillip, I hope you excuse the first darkness?" Quote:

But the darkness was new. How was he supposed to see anybody? Or, more importantly, his seat? At least it wasn't pitch black. He could see well enough not to run into anything. But still, he took the first seat available and sat down. He did not want to have to walk around in the dark room any longer than necessary. Where were all the eagles and lions and badgers Helena couldn't help but wonder as her eyes stopped on a snake sitting way in the back. "Hello Oliver, why are you sitting so far back?" She asked.

She wrapped her robe as tightly as she could around her and slowly tipped toes inside..
She found a seat after only stumbling once!
Woo hoo for her! She looked around and smiled at the other kids.. Though really who knew if they could see her! "Hello Syah, you didn't injure yourself on a way to a seat in the dark?" Helena queried politely. Quote:

Also it was still cold. Something had to be done about this. "Afternoon Zander. Could you cast some heating spells to warm up the room?" Helena asked. The head boy was there so she'd make use of his help. Quote:
Originally Posted by Sararara She felt around with her hands to make sure there really was a chair there, then parked her bum at the edge of the seat before she could do any further damage. WHEN had it gotten so cold in here? "Hello Norah.." Helena greeted the badger prefect. "Could you stir up coal in the cauldrons so we can get some warmth to bat away the harsh cold in the room." Quote:
Originally Posted by Squishy The cold didn't bother Paulina anymore because she had gotten used to it, but not being able to see was a bit of a problem. She'd just have to wait until her eyes adapted to the darkness. She probably looked silly standing there, but no one would be able to see her anyway.
Once she could see well enough, Paulina made her way over to a seat. Hopefully Professor Helena would be here soon... and could turn on the light. "Hello Paulina, I hope you didn't injure yourself on the way to a seat?" Helena greeted. Quote:

Something told him by the reactions of the other students that he wasn't the only one at least slightly taken aback. He picked his way cautiously through classmates like Paulina and Zander giving them each a polite greeting, and desks until he came to the familiar form of Adi.
"Hey..." he said sitting down at a nearby desk. "Afternoon Benny." Helena greeted the lion sitting next to Adi. "Sorry about the darkness. I didn't think you'd all get here this early." Quote:

It felt strange to be back in the HoM classroom, after he had worked so hard to avoid it. But this was his opportunity to 'make amends' and he wasn't going to give up.
The next lion Helena's pale eyes stopped on was Zeke. He had held his promise and was there to attend class. "Hello Zeke," she greeted with a faint smile. "Did you light your way to a seat?" Meaning did he use magic? Quote:

Hady she knew she could handle, and even if Zeke was nearby she could tolerate that too. For that matter, even Maggie had gotten a bit more tolerable, after that Transfiguration lesson last term when they’d attempted to work together. It seemed the best direction to head in out of any, and she made it to a desk near her housemate relatively unscathed. Her eyesight had adjusted enough that she hadn’t ran into any of the other desks anyhow. So it was a success in her eyes.
"Afternoon Brooklyn." Helena greeted the next snakette to arrive. If the Baron was here he'd be delighted by the number of snakes in attendance. She on the other hand wondered where all the eagles had gotten to but class wasn't starting just yet. There was time. "You sustained no injuries on your way to a seat?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Symphora Henric chuckled to himself before placing his bum on his usual seat. He took out his necessary parchments and his handy-dandy quill to lay it rest on his table. But, could he really write down notes in this darkness? Huh. "Hello Henric," Helena greeted politely. Raising a brow she asked "Is something funny?" She had heard the chuckling. Quote:
Originally Posted by RandomRaven Casting the lumos charm, the young lioness looked around and it seemed like some people were already here. Good. Thought that she was the first person here. The ghost professor was nowhere in this classroom. Oh, maybe she went to have a bathroom break or something. She took a seat at the back row and.... wait. Spotting a lioness in the back Helena beckoned her forward now that everyone could see. "Afternoon Ava, come sit closer to the front. It's colder closer to the door." Quote:
Originally Posted by Tazzie Whoa. Why was it soooooo dark? And the air too. Cold. Um... was ghost Professor trying to be spooky on purpose? Was he even in the right classroom? Oh wait. He was...some were casting lumos and with the help of that, Owen was able to navigate to the seat nearest to him...which was apparently next to Olly. "Hey, mate."
Also, cauldrons? Hmm... Hmm indeed. "Hello Owen," Helena greeted the first year badger boy. "You are allowed to use magic in my classroom if you know what spell to us."
Looking out over the student's smiling faintly still Professor Helena said "We'll wait a few more minutes before we get started to let more student's join us. I'm sorry that you all had to enter a dark classroom I wasn't expecting you all to be this early." She did though appreciate their eagerness to learn. OOC: Feel free to keep arriving into the now lit classroom. I'll start the lesson officially in a few hours.
