Meda walked around watching all the students and taking a few notes on ones she needed to really keep an eye on. She felt the vibe of a few and saw the nervousness in their eyes. She would make sure they were comfortable throughout this activity. SPOILER!!: astrocat Quote:

Ash though of soft music as the call of death. Loud music was fight, and soft music was the gentle lull of death. Ash didn't want to hear that music anymore. Her face scrunched up in a mixture of revulsion and awful anticipation. They were halfway to the castle now. Yay.
Watching the Ravenclaw Meda moved a bit closer and leaned down to calmly speak. "You can take back your dreams. Even in sleep think positive." Placing her hand on the table she tapped her finger nails to make just the slightest noise.

Flying... he was flying. From his dream's point of view, he could see a huge patch of greens and browns below him. He was back to wingsuit flying...finally. Noah seamlessly glided in the air, only to realize that Scarlett was on his back. But... instead of her painful screams, it was replaced by a lullaby.
Now, if only Scarlett sounded just like that, yes? Coming closer to the boy Meda decided to watch for any stress before she took her hands together and clapped three times.

Once submerged in dreamland, she found herself in a place filled with greenery, possibly a rainforest. She felt her heartbeat racing as she was suddenly running across a rickety wooden bridge that didn't seem to have an end. The girl was running so fast that she was starting to lose balance.
She fell forwards, face down, but the bridge disappeared completely as she made contact with it and was replaced with bouncy pillows. She could hear peaceful music playing in the background as she drowned in the pillows. Remy wondered if the music caused the scene to change.
It was lovely at first, but soon turned a little bit terrifying. Irvin was curious as to why the students were doing what they were doing so he jumped up beside ones head and ruffled his feathers watching the human sleep. SPOILER!!: Watson Quote:
Originally Posted by Watson The curtains didn't lift. Instead the sounds around her slowly became louder like an orchestra transitioning from piano to forte in a slow crescendo. The colours became more vivid too. The once dark grey curtains turned a deep ruby red in front of her very eyes.
"Alright folks! Take fifteen. We'll be back shortly," cried a very familiar voice. She was unsure exactly who had said it as she passed other people both taller and shorter than her. Other students both older and her own age were here on the stage in their dress rehearsal for the play this year.
She glanced up and looked to her left to find Ollie and Remy chatting together in one of the wings. She continued to glance around the room noting her brother, her housemates, and several of her classmates. Blinking she thought it was odd that she didn't see V, Daniel, or Alfie. Also where was Serena? She approached dream friends but was stopped by a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to find dreamJuliette with make up brushes in hand looking down at her. "Juli! Hi!" she exclaimed, bouncing from foot to foot. Juli was one of her favourite people that she had met thus far and she had bought Lisa food the first time they met. The girl was so so cool - just as cool as Ash. She followed Juli to a dressing room where Juli made her sit down and apply some extra make up. This was the first time that she took in her appearance. Lisa was dressed (much to her dismay cause she HATED dresses) in a beautiful glittery silver dress paired with just as sparkly ballet flats. Pascal was happily sleeping on her right shoulder. She smiled at her pet chameleon and patted him gently in greeting.
"Juli, do you know where Serena is?" she asked the older Gryffindor. Before she knew it, her friend rushed in with a wicked smirk. Obviously dreamSerena was plotting mischief and Lisa wanted in. "Serena! Hi!" Her friend mentioned a few things about s'mores and other classes to which Lisa just smiled very happily. She was about to turn back to Juliette but noticed that the older girl had disappeared. "Huh?" Had Juliette just pulled a Batman on her? She looked back at her reflection in the mirror and saw that Serena and Pascal were both gone and the door to the dressing room was open.
Where did they go?
"Wait! Wait for meeeeeee!!!" She rushed out of the door and ran down the wing of theatre barefoot. When did she become barefoot? She thought she had ballet slippers on a moment ago. Must have slipped them off. She continued running, not bothering to run back to the dressing room to find her shoes.
The theatre seemed to be never-ending. After what felt like a good three minutes of running, she stopped and bent over to catch her breath. Neither Serena nor Pascal were in sight.
"Lisa. What's wrong?" asked another voice. She looked up to find dreamAlfie who looked very concerned. He had nice, kind eyes. She smiled when she saw him. He had helped her out before when Pascal had decided to go on his own mini-adventure without her.
"Alfie! I'm glad to see you. I lost Pascal and Serena..." she began to explain before remembering that she didn't know where V and Daniel were. "Where are Daniel and V?" DreamAlfie pointed to two dressing rooms. "Thanks. Want to come with me?" she asked him. He shook his head, informing her that he would stay here. Lisa frowned, a little disappointed, but thought it was wiser not to go searching for V or Daniel. Knowing the two of them, they were probably fighting somewhere. "Promise me that if you see Pascal you'll make sure he gets home safely. Serena would be upset if I lost our chameleon."
She headed to the door, taking a deep breath to knock on the first door. "V? Helloooooooooooo! Are you in there?" she asked, clasping the door handle with her right hand and then twisting it.
Seeing one seem very deep in sleep Meda went over to check on her and as she did she bumped into her chair, not enough to wake her but just enough to be possibly felt.
SPOILER!!: Wednesday Quote:
Originally Posted by wednesday Suddenly, Ollie found herself at home. She was tucked in bed under the quilt her grandmother and quilted for her and it was dark outside. She guessed it was probably one or two in the morning since she could see the moon through her window. She was good at telling time based on the sky. Wait a minute, where is Pepper, her cat? Typically, she would be curled in a ball in the crook of Ollie's knees, but now she wasn't there. Ollie sat up and looked around her room. Wait a minute, not only was Pepper missing, but her door was open too. That was weird. Ollie never went to bed with her door open. It was always shut and locked. She had to investigate. She slipped her feet off the side of her bed and stood, not bothering to put her slippers on. she quickly and quietly tiptoed over to the open door. She could hear some… Humming?… Coming from the kitchen. Again, this was weird. Her father had always gone to bed at 8o'clock on the dot and if anything he wouldn't be found in the kitchen this late at night."Dad?" She called down the hallway, waiting for a response. Irvin continued on checking on students. He just didn't understand why they weren't looking at him or feeding him. Why were they just laying there. Moving closer he tapped his beak gently on ones arm. SPOILER!!: Fearlessleader19 Quote:

She clung to patches of its fur though she was careful not to pull at them. “You’ll see,’’ replied Lemongelo. There was nothing odd about an oversized puffskein being able to speak.
Claudine said nothing but continued to watch below her as they soared over a great forested area which was quite unfamiliar to her. Colour her even more bewildered than before. Heading towards another student Meda watched for a moment before doing a few snaps of her fingers. It wasn't until after she wondered if she should have in class. Her thoughts moved to her sister for a quick moment before she turned to the next student sleeping.
SPOILER!!: Charely Potter Quote:

.....
The sounds of birds chirping rang his ears before Darius opened his eyes to see it was dawn and he was outdoors near his home. The sun gave a golden hue around the grassy field he was standing alone in. He looked around to see petals form as below his feet were many-colored petals that one by one broke apart and fly with the wind that brushed through his ears.
He sighed before walking ahead.
Crunching noise rang below his feet as he stomped on the grass. He didn't know where he was going or why but he felt compelled to run through the grass something was waiting up ahead but he couldn't picture it.
"Dairy, over here!" Darius heard his name called by a voice he hadn't heard from in a long while. ...Could it be? Excited he found himself sprinting as a figure began to form in front of him. Although the figure remained stationary, Darius found himself taking longer than necessary to reach the figure. Just a little closer... Meda moved to watch another student this time she jotted a few notes down before placing the notebook on the desk with a soft thud, picking it up she did it once more before moving on.

However, if the assignment was to dream, then he could dream. He took the potion, and eventually... They had planted this garden themselves. It was their finest achievement, if they did say so themself. It had all their favorite flowers and then some, all in varying colors; there were fruits and veggies, great to make into dishes and desserts; they even had magical plants, which they had never had before, but were taking care of surprisingly well.
They looked back. Their special person was there. He?She?They? was/were beautiful. They never wanted to lose them. They were happy. They had never been this happy.
They looked down at the pond. They had a pond in the garden. They saw their reflection. Their hair was... longer.... and they were wearing.... a beautiful gown...
...they? They? He? She? They? They? He? She? He? She? They? He? They? She? He? They? She? He? They? He? She? They? Me?
There was something in the pond.
Irvin wasn't getting any responses and as he moved towards another student he vocally let his owner know that he wasn't thrilled by the lack of attention. SPOILER!!: imsosikk07 Quote:

Now Oneiromancy is best done after many different dreams and keeping a journal. The best thing to do with it is have a journal near your bed. When you wake spend the first few moments just laying still and letting your mind think about what you were dreaming. After a few moments sitting up and taking notes so you don't forget is a great way to be able to remember later and compare to other dreams. Always look for things out of the ordinary in your dream, patterns that repeat, or anything that feels like it is crying out to you." She walked around as she spoke and made sure to make eye contact with all the students that looked at her.
"Because it is the middle of the day and Oneiromancy for dreams we are going to do a little activity that involves the potion that you have been given. Now I know I'm new, you don't know me well, and some of you might not trust anything I give. I do understand that, but I will ask you to please take a leap of faith and trust me. This potion isn't very strong, it will work within minutes, but you won't be in a deep sleep so you may hear things around you. I am going to set a timer for fifteen minutes. The potion will last that long and when the timer goes off you will wake. Now this potion might be weaker than usual, but it will help you remember your dream. Now your chairs do have a little lever on the side and will lean back if you pick to do that or you can use the pillow at your desk." She checked her watch and then smiled, "Alright students, please go ahead and take your potion, happy dreaming."
ooc: activity time! As Meda said the potion is not a strong one, but they will dream. For this part of the activity just post them taking the potion and possibly beginning to dream. I will post in about 24 hours with the next part of the dreaming activity.
Listening to Euka, now Aibhi was just a little hesitant because even though it wasn't going to be a deep sleep, she was just afraid of waking up and screaming like she normally does from time to time if she did sleep since last year. But she wanted to keep an open mind about everything. Looking at her chair she saw the lever and she exhaled out softly before getting up from her desk and walked over to Euka's desk picking up a little potion vial and takes a seat back in her chair. She examines the potion in the vial looking at the color of it while she listens to the intructions. Fifteen minutes...? We can do that. It's just fifteen minutes. We'll be fine. totally fine... Wasting no time...she opened the vial and took the potion. Smacking her lips together still tasting it...it wasn't...a bad taste, but its a potion either way...it wasn't going to taste like cotton candy or rainbows. Grabbing the pillow she held it in her one arm as she put her chair back and laid back in her sleep. Holding the pillow in her arms, Aibhi closes her eyes and starts to breathe in...and out...very slowly until she drifted off into a little bit of a sleep...What dreams awaited her? As Aibhi drifted into her sleep, she began to hear soft lullaby music play. Huh...not sure if that's my mind or the classroom...but it's relaxing... She thought. Drifting...and Drifting...a dream began... Feeling herself being tapped on her shoulder, she turns around seeing her brother, Wesley continue to tap on her shoulder. "What?" "You promised!" Aibhi wasn't sure of what he was saying until he takes her hand and starts leading her towards a house. It wasn't familiar to her and Aibhi kept her focus on the house "Wes, slow down." She pleaded. "Where are we going?
Wes let out a childish giggle as Aibhi realized her teen brother looked like he was no older than 8 or 10 at this point. Wes kept running and running leading Aibhi towards the house until they both ran inside. the house was quiet, lightly dimmed...and empty. "Wes, where are-" and with that, Wes was gone. As if he wasn't there to begin with. "Wesley? Where did you go?" She began to look around as best as she could in the dimmed-lit house and she searched herself for a wand or anything on her to give her a little bit of light for some extra help, but nothing. "Ok...this isn't...creepy at all..." She began her search for her brother. Moving around more Meda stopped and watching another student. She thought a moment before leaning down and whispering, "Watch out for the rain" SPOILER!!: MadMadamMalfoy Quote:

He immediately recognized his surroundings as a theatre box just like the ones in the West End theatres his dad used to take him to when he was a kid. He sat back, watching the show below - some weird kind of space opera.
Some actors were dressed in spacesuits, others were dressed as stars or planets. The lead actor took center stage, singing along to a lullaby Heath had never heard before. He applauded politely as the song ended, and the curtain went down. Then the play took a turn for the sick and disturbing. As the curtain rose, hooded figures appeared, flanking a man in regular clothes. A muggle, but not just any muggle. It was the muggle from DADA class!
The hoods shoved the man, and he fell to his knees in front of the lead actor. The lead actor brandished a weapon that looked like a wand-lightsaber hybrid and pointed it at the man’s chest. Heath flinched at the flash of green light, and when he looked again, the man lay dead in the middle of the stage. He sat motionless, just staring in horror until the roar of audience applause jerked him back to reality. Why was everyone applauding?! Didn’t they understand how wrong this was? “Why would you bring me here?!” he asked, turning to his seatmate. He expected to see the familiar face of an older, dark-haired dark-eyed man, but the figure beside him was not his father... Irvin was moving around trying to get any attention, but none was coming so he ruffled his feather and spread them wide which made a moving noise near the students he was close to. OOC: I'll jump back on to grab others as they come for the next 24 hours and then we will move on to the next part of the lesson
