When it seemed the last of the students had arrived, Joyce finally uncrossed her arms and had a quick peek at the delicate watch on her wrist. It was time to get this show on the road. With a subtle flick of her wand and a non-verbal spell, the classroom door snapped shut. Hopefully, there wouldn’t be any late stragglers today. If there were, she’d deal with them.
“Right then class,” she started, turning to face the group. “As I’m sure you’ve all noticed, this isn’t the usual classroom setting today. If you hadn’t noticed, I think a trip to the Healer to have your eyes tested is in order.” She paused, narrowing her own green eyes at the group for a moment before continuing. “Now! To start things off, I want you all to take a moment to take in and study your surroundings,” she gestured at the… well, the nothingness around them. “Study your surroundings and based on your findings tell me, what do you suppose it is we’ll be learning today?” She hadn’t really given them much to work with as there was nothing to be seen besides the very plain grass patch where they all stood and the clear sky. But this was the perfect way to get their brains kick started.
OOC: Thanks everyone! Class has begun so unless you want your character to face the IC consequences, just go ahead and jump on in like you’ve been here all along. To start things off, Joyce wants you to have a guess at what you think the class is about. Remember, no answer is a wrong answer so let’s see what you’ve got! We’ll be moving on in another 24 hours.
Nodding, as she looked around the second year decided that she liked these transfigurations.
“Professor? Is this like the transfiguration or charms or spells on the Great Hall ceiling?” Perhaps not the place for the question, especially since she didn’t
actually know how the enchantments were done on the roof - but she was curious about it anyway and the others had still been arriving.
Though, looking up at the sky and walking in a circle probably hadn’t been clever considering when the Professor started the class back up and Holly looked towards her, everything was spinning- why were there two Professors? Blinking, and standing utterly still until everything merged back into themselves, Holly listened. And she didn’t look back up to the sky. Bad. Distracting sky. Bad.
… but there was nothing here Professor Darlington??? What were they meant to be looking at? All she could see were her classmates.
Then she gasped and put her hand straight up in the air.
”!! Are we going to be transfiguring each other???!” Her eyes were wide, horrified at the thought. She wasn’t good enough at magic yet! No way would she manage that!
“Please say no? I don’t want to do that. I don’t think I’d do it right.” She looked worried. Very worried.
