It was a chilly day on the first of December, but thankfully for her students, Gabi always liked to have her classroom run a little warmer. Multiple bluebell flame charms had been suspended in jars around the classroom to create the ultimate sweet spot in temperature - not too cold, but not so toasty that her students would fall asleep. Gabi is standing at the front of the class, leaning against her desk and resting her palms on the wood as she waited for her students to enter. Behind her on the blackboard is a single picture hinting at today's lesson: As the students began to enter, Gabi sat up a little straighter and smiled at them. "Morning everyone! Please have a seat, we'll get started shortly," she announced. No need to get out anything particularly flashy - just their notes and textbooks would do. OOC: Hello everyone! Welcome to your first History of Magic lesson! I hope you're all as excited as I am to get going!
