SPOILER!!: Replies
SPOILER!!: Emmalyn
History of Magic was a favorite of Emmalyn's. It helped her learn more about the world she should have grown up in, and there was usually no risk of harm during the class. She entered the classroom and smiled. The next best thing to having class outside was being able to feel like she was outside. The clear blue sky was welcoming and further lifted her spirits.

"Hello, professor, it looks as if spring is here to stay. I trust you are well on this fine April day." Her greeting came out with a bit more rhyme than intended and she slightly blushed as she headed to her seat.

After putting her things down and pulling out her parchment and quill, she patiently waited for the rest of the class to arrive and for the lesson to start.


"Well hello Ms. Walsh!" he greeted the happy Hufflepuff with a cheerful smile. "I am indeed well. Thank you for asking. I hope you are too."

SPOILER!!: Maddie
Was it just her, or were the classes really piling on lately? Maybe it was just the fact that the school year was almost to an end. It just seemed like she had a lot more work to do than she usually did. She shrugged to herself as she continued down the corridor and toward the classroom. As she opened the door, she paused. Had she accidentally entered the Great Hall by accident or something?

The professor was at his desk, though, and Maddie gave him a smile as she walked further into the room. "Hello, Professor Curtains!" she said. On that note, she headed toward a seat and started getting herself situated. She passed a smile to Emmalyn. Was it just her, or were they always the first two in class?


The second student to walk through those doors was also Hufflepuff. Charles assumed these two were good friends, they always seemed to enter class together. "Hello Maddie. Hope you are well."

SPOILER!!: Chloe
"Good day, Professor!" Chloe bounced into class and waved at the professor before finding her seat. The charmed ceiling was super cool, although she wondered if she was going to be distracted by interesting clouds floating overhead. Like that one... that one was shaping up to be a goat jumping over a flowering bush. And the one behind it was a dog chasing its tail.

So. Focus. Had she already said hello to the professor? "Have you ever considered teaching outside?" Since they could already see the sky.


"Good day to you too, Chloe!" he said, smiling. Chloe's happy attitude was always infectious. Her question was a good one. "I'm afraid I've never considered teaching outside. But why not, we already have the ceiling enchanted. I'll have to consider it." He'd always just assumed that teaching inside this classroom was the way to go. Maybe next term he'd do a few lessons outdoors.

SPOILER!!: Mr. Ryker
Slate entered the classroom, immediately distracted by the ceiling. It was a nice clear day, which made him want to be outside. Hopefully this class would go fairly quickly and he'd be able to grab some fresh air before studying. OWL year was turning out to be a real nightmare.

"Hey, Professor." he greeted before taking a seat.


"Hello Mr. Slate Ryker. I trust you are well today."

SPOILER!!: Daisy
Daisy entered the History of Magic classroom, smiling as she gazed up at the enchanted ceiling. "Good morning, Professor Curtains. How are you?" Daisy greeted as she then made her way to a seat next to Emmalyn, sat down and began to get ready for the lesson.


Charles smiled at the cheerful Hufflepuff. "Good morning to you too, Daisy. I am well, thanks for asking. I hope you are well too." Hopefully she would like the lesson he had planned!


SPOILER!!: Ronan
He already knew one class he wouldn't miss once he'd graduated: this one. Nothing against the professor, just that he did nothing to spice up his lessons, nor was there any debating that ended up happening. Just constant note-taking, which made it very easy to let the mind wander. Still, he didn't think it was a good idea to skip class with NEWTs so close, so here he was.

"Hello, Professor Curtains," he greeted, finding a seat and completely ignoring the ceiling.


"Hello Mr. Carter. Find a seat. I hope you are well." He definitely got the impression that Ronan didn't like his classes all that much, but at least he engaged with the subject and never showed up late.

SPOILER!!: Stasya
The ceiling in the Great Hall at breakfast had made Stasya want to go out to the nursery to let some of the creatures, mostly Claire, out to get some exercise, and the celling in the History of Magic classroom only made her want to do so that much more. But lessons first, and she was just going to have to hope that the weather stayed nice all day so she could go do that after lessons. It might. Maybe. She was planning on it anyway.

“Good day Professor Curtains,” she greeted the professor as she made her way to her usual seat, giving the man a smile. The day deserved cheerfulness, even if there was absolutely no clues as to what they’d be discussing in class.


"Good day to you too, Claire," he returned her cheerful greeting with a small smile of his own. It was nice to see almost everyone was happy today. The weather probably had something to do with it. "Find a seat. Lesson is about to begin!"

SPOILER!!: Hattie
History of Magic. It could be an interesting class. Sometimes. It was why she was taking it at NEWT level. One couldn't move forward well if they didn't study the past. They didn't need to keep making past mistakes, so knowing the past was important. Sometimes history was boring, but Hattie liked it. She smiled to herself, going over her mental to do list in her head. She had things to do after this lesson before she settled into her evening of studying. But first, she had to go to this lesson. Hopefully it would be fun.

She smiled, looking up at the ceiling as she looked at it. She loved that it was enchanted like the great hall ceiling. "Hello Professor" The prefect murmured, nodding politely at the Professor, before she headed to find herself a seat. Once seated, she took her parchment and quills out. Yep. She was ready now.


He smiled cheerfully at the thoughtful Hufflepuff."Good morning Hattie! I hope you are well. Find a seat. Lesson is about to begin."

SPOILER!!: Jessa
[COLOR="Black"]By now it was a common sight, the Ravenclaw walking into the classroom with her nose buried deep in her book. This time, it was the copy of the necromancer's diary whose front and back covers she'd cast an illusion charm on to reflect something of lighter reading. The last thing she needed was attention or strange looks when--that also led to questions.

"Hello Professor." She managed as she took her seat and carefully placed the book down before her. It was a section she'd already read but in light of certain developments, she felt the need to read it again.

What better time than during History of Magic class? Surely the Professor wouldn't mind. He didn't seem to mind anything.


A Ravenclaw with her nose in a book strolled in. Of course it was Jessa, who seemed to do this a lot. It was actually an admirable quality, though Charles often wondered what books she read. They looked light, but she specifically told him an a previous lesson that he wouldn't approve of her books. "Hello Jessa. That looks like a nice book."

SPOILER!!: Rylee
Rylee made her way into the classroom her blue eyes seeking out the ceiling first. Being greeted with a clear blue sky along with some stray clouds had the young girl smiling brightly. As soon as her lessons were through for the day she knew she would be heading outside to enjoy the lovely weather.

Right now she had a lesson to get through first. "Hello, Professor Curtains." Rylee smiled as also finding herself a seat and slipping down onto the chair. One by one she took out some parchment, her textbook and a quill setting the items neatly on her desk. Now that she was ready for the lesson to begin it would be okay if she looked up at the sky through the ceiling of the room for a few moments. That was always what she seemed to do while waiting for the lesson to begin.


"Hello Rylee," the professor greeted the happy Gryffindor with a smile. He loved students admiring the sky. That was one of the reasons he enchanted the ceiling to reflect it, after all, so it was nice that it wasn't ignored by everyone.

SPOILER!!: Josie
Josie came in and nodded to the professor, "Good morning professor." She gave a small smile before she took her usual seat. Taking a look around she tried to get an idea of what they might be studying for the new class though she saw no hints or help anywhere. Huh... Seems odd.. She kept the thought to herself and pulled out her parchment and quill, ready for whatever the class had to offer.


'Good morning Josie!" he said, catching himself in time to prevent him from calling her Josephine. Calling a student by their nickname was best, he decided, if they had one. "Find a seat. Lesson is about to commence!"

SPOILER!!: Skylar
The main pro to this class? It was only on the first floor, which meant Skylar could wait until the last minute to sprint up the staircases from the dorm. Or well, the Great Hall, since that was her other favorite location lately. Although if Skylar was being honest, she was ready to be DONE with Hogwarts. Did all seventh years feel this way? Sure she still had NEWTs to take and she still had some more universities to hear back from in either the positive or the negative, but she was over Hogwarts. She was over some of the people here. She was just done.

Setting her bags onto a desk near the window, she gave a halfway smile at the Professor, with a rather mellow "Good day," and slid onto the seat. Alright, let's get this over with. Cause it meant one step closer to graduation. And yes, she did still have like three months, but she was counting down.


"Good day to you too, Sky. I hope you are well. Class is about to commence."

SPOILER!!: It's a beautiful day, Max!
Max stifled a yawn as he dragged himself into the History of Magic classroom. Had he been up studying all night? Nooooope, he'd received the latest issue of his favourite comic and it had been a page turner.

"G'morning," he mumbled, slumping into the nearest available seat.



'Good morning, Max!" the professor greeted the very tired looking Slytherin. "Fine day to be active, no?"

SPOILER!!: Patrick
Patrick shuffled in, a muffin in his hand as usual. He was always starving. And his mama swore he had hollow legs at this point, never ending hunger ravaged Patrick. With a quick smile and a "Good morning Professor" he grabbed a seat finishing his muffin before class began. He needed both hands to write down all of the things that he would have to take note of. Although, he was praying to the wizarding gods because he didn't want his stomach to grumble like it had in Potions the other day... man was Nobel angry.


"Good morning Patrick, hope you are well." He smiled at the hungry Slytherin as he settled down on a seat and prepared for class. Charles did not mind students bringing snacks to class. Just so long as they didn't bring a whole meal.

SPOILER!!: Juni
Was Juni the only one that thought that every ceiling in the castle should be like this one and the one in the great hall? At least you would always know what the weather looked like outside. It would be a lot easier to know how to dress for the day. Or cloud watching that was always fun.

She headed to her seat and greeted the professor with a smile. ”Hello Professor!’ She slid into the seat next to Slate and grinned at him. Also, she really like Chloe’s idea about an outdoor lesson. Chloe got a grin too and a thumbs up from her. Good suggestion C.

Though she found those a little distracting, but so was the enchanted ceiling. She definitely knew where she was going after the lesson. Her boyfriend would down for some outdoor studying right? She nudged him in the side with her elbow. Class was going to start soon, yeah?


He smiled at Juni as she came in and nodded to return her greeting. "Good day Juni! How are you? Settle down. Lesson is about to begin." Hopefully she would like the lesson!

Now that everyone was seated...

Charles opened the drawer on the desk directly in front of him and removed a coin from within. He held it up between two fingers so everyone could see. "I discovered this coin just yesterday while roaming the school grounds for a morning walk. Several coins just like this have been discovered in the past weeks, some of them by you. Curious, right? Wouldn't it be interesting to know the backstory of these coins?"

Flipping the coin in the air a few times, he then set it aside and cleared his throat. "But these coins are just the latest mysterious objects to be discovered within school grounds. It never ceases to amaze me just how many extraordinary and mysterious things have happened within these very walls, and how many magical artifacts have been found - and just within the last thirty years!" From the day it was founded, through the days of Tom Riddle and Harry Potter and through the Book of Mysteria all the way to the present, Hogwarts had always been a fun and scary place.

"I want you to think back on any location or object within this school. It can be a hallway, a dormitory, a mirror, anything. Then tell me something extraordinary that happened at that place or with that object. Let's see what we come up with!"



OOC: Class will continue in 24 hours!
