The Ravenclaw ended the charm as she walked in, unwilling to overheat when it clearly wasn't a necessity. "Sorry about the magic, Professor." She said, making her way over to her seat. "I didn't know it'd be this warm in here when I put it on earlier." And was the woman alright? She seemed a little out of it today. Jessa was used to the perky disposition, making the sight just a little strange for her.
Blue eyes drifted over the posters on the walls, stopping at one in particular.
"Why d'we have a soccer poster?" Don't tell her they'd be continuing the trend of American education even with the Ilvermorny students now thankfully gone. Last term had been enough. She'd heard enough. Was there enough to learn about muggles in their own culture?
It had her looking over all the posters again. Hopefully she wasn't missing something.
Sorry about the magic? Kay had been quite aware that some of the kiddos used the Charm to help keep themselves warm. She simply nodded. “That’s fine, Miss Cambridge.’’ Her eyes moved to the soccer poster. “Actually, I acquired that poster at the last minute since I was unable to get one with ‘football’ written on it. I decided to leave it with the word soccer.’’ Eyes returned to Jessa. “I was wondering who would be the first to notice that. Excellent observation.’’
SPOILER!!: Kyle! <3 Quote:

Of course, looking at the posters on the wall, there may be sports he couldn't play as well. Muggle sports was not an area he was familiar with.
He greeted the teacher once he thought about it then went and sat down. He was a little embarrassed that the posters took his attention away from the teacher. But that's what they were there for, weren't they? “Good morning, Mr Erikson.’’ Kay barely registered that her student was more occupied with the posters. SPOILER!!: Eddie! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga If there was a class that Eddie should get permission never to take it was this one. How dare the school still teach this worthless subject. His family's influence and money couldn't even get rid of it. So he cranckly went into the classroom and just gave a little nod to the professor.
Turning he looked around at the posters as he glanced at the other classmates. He was dreading this class, he couldn't even think about what he could actually learn here. Sitting down he put his things down and just waited for it to end.
Ah, Edward. Kay knew all about his resentment for the subject she thought. It used to bother her but at that moment, she couldn’t care less. She returned the acknowledgement with a nod of her own. SPOILER!!: Flynn! <3 Quote:

Not only did he end up wearing his glasses to class today (contacts were a no-go), he also brought along a hot cup of coffee to keep him warm. He was feeling much colder than usual (probably because he was getting sick), and he was mentally thanking the Professor for the fire she had started in the classroom. He was going to make sure to get a seat closest to the warmth of the flames.
"Hey," he greeted the Professor before finding a seat. Oh yeaah, he was sounding stuffy. As he sipped on his coffee, he looked up at the posters. Sports. They were going to be learning about sports. He kept sipping on his coffee because that was the only thing giving him life right now. “Hello, Mr Kowalski. I suggest a trip to Healer Reed so that he can give you some Pepperup Potion. It works wonders, trust me.’’ SPOILER!!: Cassie! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by Holmesian Feline Oh boy was she grateful for the warmth emanating from various sources as she entered the Muggle Studies classroom. Cassie might like the winter season, but even still, the cold could get to her and the weather seemed to be particularly blustery lately. “Good day, Professor,” she greeted with a polite smile despite the older woman’s own being absent. In fact, she appeared to be a little out of it but she wasn’t about to quizzical, especially when Professor Stewart wasn’t totally distant with responses to others before her.
Taking an open seat to settle down and be ready for the lesson, the sixth year took in the posters hanging around the room. “I’m thinking we’re talking about muggle sports…” Cass mused aloud as she took out some parchment. Certainly seemed that way to her. Cycling…soccer or football…and the last one.
“Hello, Ms McNally,’’ Kay said, looking at the next kiddo but not registering the puzzled look she was receiving. “That would be correct but we’ll also be delving a bit more than just talking about them, which you’ll see about shortly.’’ SPOILER!!: Clara! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by marshmallowXpie The first thing Clara noticed was the fire in the room, making it feel very warm and toasty. She took a seat a bit far away from it since she had a tendency to doze off if she got too comfortable.
The second thing that stood out was the presence of posters. All related to sports and tournaments and games and the like. Clara restrained herself from reacting too dramatically and resorted to internally groaning. She was the least athletic person she knew and could not catch anything with her hands even if her life depended on it. Still, learning about it couldn't be that bad, right? As long as there was no, er, practical activities.
"Hi, Professor. Looks like we're talking about...Muggle sports?" she said.
Why did you make it sound like a question? You do have one Muggle parent, after all. “Hello, Ms Simelanu. Yes, we are but as I explained to Ms McNally a few moments ago, we’ll do a little more than just discuss muggle sports.’’ SPOILER!!: Daisy! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by Ginevra Daisy entered the classroom with a grin. "Hello there, Professor!" She made her way to a seat, noticing the posters of Muggle sports. It reminded Daisy of her Muggle father and how he loved watching those sports on the TV. Goodness, how she missed her folks. “Good day, Ms Swann.’’ SPOILER!!: Stasya! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by SilverTiger There had been a moment when Stasya had thought about not going to the Muggle Studies lesson, mainly because she was afraid that the Gryffindor dorms would get destroyed in however long the lesson went on. Distractions weren’t good when she was trying to stay constantly vigilant, and since she hadn’t yet managed to ask any older students if they could cast an extension charm on her bag so she could carry all her belongings with her, she was nervous about leaving her post. Especially since most of her fellow guards also probably had class so it was leaving the common room unguarded aside from pets, and she didn’t trust whoever or whatever had gotten to the other dorms not to hurt animals. Someone had hurt creatures to get the blood for the entrance hall paintings after all, and that was what had bothered her about it all the most.
She’d noticed the change in Professor Stewart’s expression, too. Or, the absence of expression. The absence of the woman’s usual smile, and it nearly had made the second year turn right back around to go see if Professor Hirsch was in his office to ask him what she could do. Or just to report the weirdness, because she figured he was the best one to ask. Plus, he was kind of her personal protector anyway, whether he knew it or not.
But she didn’t turn around. She was going to be a brave Gryffindor. “Hi Professor Stewart!,” she greeted her, giving her her usual bright smile as she made her way to her usual seat. At least she could smile. Plus, she’d given Jessa and Kyle grins too, as she passed them at their own seats. She’d just have to go see the DADA professor after class to ask him if he knew why the other professor was acting weird.
The exceptionally bright smile that Stasya gave her seemed to have gotten through to Kay. For a brief moment, it occurred to her that the kiddos must be wondering what was wrong with her. Only the staffers and Emmeline knew that her father had died just three days before last Christmas and she was still hurting. She tried to return the smile but just couldn’t so she settled with just saying “Good morning, Ms Dalgaard-Volkova.’’ SPOILER!!: It’s BATMAN! *whaa* I mean… Ronan! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by lazykitty His mind firmly on his own stuff as he entered the classroom with his own cup of coffee, Ronan didn't even notice the posters on the wall or that Professor Stewart seemed completely out of it. Nor did he notice that he'd sat, not in his normal seat in the front row of class, but beside Flynn, the old Slytherin man trapped in the body of a teenager. He didn't notice that said seat neighbor sounded like he was stricken with a cold. Nope, the teenage Gryffindor was just lost in his own thoughts.
Needless to say, he hadn't greeted the professor either.
It wasn’t until Ronan had taken his seat did Kay notice him. Had she missed his greeting or hadn’t he bothered saying anything? Either way, he was still on time for the lesson. SPOILER!!: Andersooooon! Hehe Corin! <3 Quote:
Originally Posted by Steelsheen The silver-haired man made his way down the first floor corridor and into the classroom, bright blue eyes twinkling momentarily as he took in the atmosphere.

Speaking of which, Corin found her at her desk "Ms Stewart." he murmured a cursory greeting, glancing at her as he walked by. She seems... deep in thought. Not unusual for the cerebral kind, as Professors are. He gave a kind smile at the students already present as he made his way to the furthest seat at the back of the classroom, not wanting to be any kind of intrusive for today's interesting lesson, if the posters were anything to go by.
Ah, yes. The Board of Governors member. Kay nodded in reply. “Mr Vanderbilt. Welcome.’’ There would be more to say to each other after the completion of the lesson. Was she nervous? No. She still had and always will have confidence in her teaching abilities. SPOILER!!: Derf! <3 Quote:

...and yet...the Board of Governors continued to seem to be more concerned with what was going on inside the classrooms rather than out - as he could only ASSUME given the presence of the grey haired bloke who had walked into the classroom just before him.
Ruffling his hair, he checked to make sure his pocket was shut tight and then strolled into the classroom. Of course he took note of the posters - soccer?
Also...why were those people riding bikes through a sunflower field? - but his attention drifted primarily to Professor Stewart herself who...er...looking kinda glum. Maybe some bad eggs at breakfast or something?
"You okay, professor?" he asked sheepishly, opting to take a seat by Stasya for the lesson. “Hello, Ashburry- Hawthorne. Yes, I’d like to think that I am. Thank you for asking.’’ SPOILER!!: Maisie! <3 Quote:

“Hello Professor,” She said.
She looked at the posters. Maisie’s heart sank. She wasn’t a fan of sports, and she didn’t think Muggle sports would be any different. She’d heard of bicycles though, and she loved the sunflowers.
Maisie took a seat in the front. She was still small and she didn’t want to get stuck behind a Seventh Year and not be able to see or hear what was going on.
“Hello, Ms Dimple.’’ Did Maisie look disappointed when she noticed the posters or was it just Kay’s imagination?
* * * * * * * “Welcome to another Muggle Studies lesson, everyone,’’ Kay began the minute she closed the door to the classroom. “As you would have no doubt noticed the posters on the walls and as some of you have guessed, we will be discussing Muggle sports.’’ She stepped closer to the rows of students to get a better look at them and to ensure they were all paying attention. “If you recall, last term Professor Newton and I conducted a joint lesson on the importance of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. We expounded on how essential it was to protect our world.’’ But was it really that important? Didn’t Muggles deserve to also be let into the secret? Shouldn’t the witches and wizards be more considerate to Muggles? “Now, there is a particular clause within that Statute regarding Muggle sports and the wizarding world. Can anyone recall what it is and do you agree with this clause? If you do not know the answer, you are welcome to make an educated guess as to what it may be.'' OOC: The lesson has officially begun  You're free to post late arrivals if that suits you; just be aware of the IC consequences  We shall continue in 24- 27 hours! |
