After seeing the top hat on the desk, Luther cautiously peered inside. 'Nothing out of ordinary' he first thought but after he warily lifted the hat and shook it he saw that the bottom is actually a false bottom. With a mischievous fire in his eyes, Luther turned to the Professor and said "Will we pull a rabbit out of these, Sir?" Norman hadn’t been waiting long when the first student arrived. “ Good afternoon, Mr. Starriver,” he replied, returning the boy’s smile with one of his own. That smile soon turned to a slight chuckle at the question. “Maybe so.” He wasn’t going to give anything away just yet, but it was a very good guess! Quote:

He curiously eyed the contraption in the front of the room as mentioned but at a distance. Caes figured the others could have a turn before him since he just felt like relaxing. So he went to take his usual seating after watching for a moment.
Hawkins’s arrival got a polite nod from the professor. “Hello, Mr. Hawkins,” Norman greeted, his bluish-green eyes following the boy to his seat. He was mildly surprised that Hawkins hadn’t stopped to examine the contraption at the front, but he wasn’t fussed. The truth would reveal itself in time. Quote:

She did chuckle at Luther’s comment. She hoped they were pulling a rabbit out of the hat. But…. “Professor, does that contraption allow for vanishing?” Maybe it was a magical object that did the opposite of what Luther suggested or did what Luther suggested?
How could one tell its purpose? She wanted to examine it further but thought it be a little too much at this point in time so the Ravenclaw got settled at her desk. Here was another curious student. Just the kind of attitude Norman liked to see! “Hello, Miss Nam,” he replied with a slight smile, watching as she examined the contraption. And another good guess to its purpose. “It might…” Better not give away too much now! Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Aria was happily dreaming of the upcoming Christmas holidays. There would be much to do, especially when it came to Caes and the bet they had made. Such anticipation on her part for him with regard to those chores. Before she left for home though, she would have to burn those letters or get rid of them somehow… Violet’s letters that she had cunningly intercepted before they had gotten to her brother. Did Aria feel guilty? A little. But Caes would thank her IF he ever found out.
“Hello, professor! My, you’ve made it quite snug in here!’’ The Slytherin gave the man a toothy smile before making a beeline for her brother. On the way to him, she waved rather enthusiastically to Luther {her fave little Gryffindor} and to Lisa. “Brother dearest.’’ Aria dropped her bag on the desk beside Caes. She playfully bumped his shoulder before sitting. “That top hat would look rather spectacular on you, you know!’’ Could he tell that she was itching to put it on him? Buuut, Ms. McLeod was smarter than that; she’d let any other student try it on their own should there be a catch. The same went for the thing at the front of the room. McLeod also got a smile upon arrival. “Hello, Miss McLeod,” Norman replied. The compliment got a soft laugh from him. “Thank you!” He couldn’t have his students being distracted by the cold, could he? There may or may not have been another reason for the room temperature, but only time would tell. Quote:

These could possibly be her last lessons at this school.
Pushing through, Serena entered the Transfiguration classroom, her gaze settling on the hat. Her brows furrowed, what could it mean?
Approaching the table, the Slytherin nodded politely at the professor. "Good day, Professor Carton." Not really, but y'know. Manners. Anyway, what was with the hat? Serena picked up and saw it was just a normal hat. Interesting.
Leaving the hat alone, Serena turned to find a seat. Her mind fought for her gaze to go elsewhere, but her eyes had a mind of their own. They found Lisa. Serena's heart did the thing it does whenever she allowed her gaze upon the Ravenclaw for even a few seconds. Swallowing whatever that feeling was, she took the seat besides Caes, sandwiching him between her and Aria. Attempting for distraction, she added to Aria's comment, "It'd bring out your eyes." Norman’s eyes followed Baltazar-Dos Santos as she entered the classroom. Noting the furrowed brows, he half-expected her to examine the hat more closely but thought no more of it when that didn’t happen, “G ood day, Miss Baltazar-Dos Santos,” he replied, nodding politely in return.

Whatever it was, he was sure they would discuss it later in detail in class so he felt no need to examine it now. With a smile at his head of house and an inclination of his head, he made sure to give a greeting, "Hello, Professor. It's nice and warm in here." It actually felt amazing compared to the chill outside - even if he was a bit partial to being cold.
Pleasantries extended, the Ravenclaw made his way to finding a seat, stopping and choosing an open spot next to his sister. He'd tried to stop stifling her and Maya but always being around them, even in classes, but he convinced himself it would be fine with this lesson given they were getting closer and closer to his graduation. What a funny thought. "Hey, Lees." Ah, there was the elder Nam! Norman smiled, nodding politely in reply to the boy’s greeting. “Hello, Mr. Nam,” he said. “I’m glad you think so.” If the students were warm enough, hopefully it was warm enough for the activity he had planned. If not, he could always add more heating charms to the room! Quote:

It was the fact that she was so used to the cold that she was wrapped up so warm, as she entered Professor Carton’s classroom this mid-December day. “Good morning, Professor. How are you today?” she asked as she filed into the classroom and into one of the desks arranged in rows. Taking a seat next to Evan and close to Lisa, Ingrid unpacked her bag before finally taking off her cloak. “Hi Evan. Lisa. Are you two up to much this winter break?” She wasn’t sure if she’d be going home yet. Luck’s greeting also got a slight smile and polite nod in return. “Hello, Miss Luck,” Norman replied, his eyes following her to her seat. “I’m fine, thank you for asking. And yourself?” Quote:

She waked towards the front of the room to examine the object there. Unable to pick it up, she stuck her hand in it to see what would happen. "We should all get to wear top hats for this lesson." Please. It would be amusing. Norman paid little attention to the flowers around Fox’s desk. He’d gotten used to the students’ abilities by now, and he knew it wasn’t intentional. Something that did catch his attention, however, was the girl’s greeting. “Hello, Miss Fox,” he replied, returning her smile with one of his own… a smile that turned into a slight chuckle at the suggestion. “That would be fun. Maybe later on.” He hadn’t initially planned for the students to wear the hats, but he didn’t see any harm in it if there were enough left after they used them for their intended purpose. Quote:

It was a subject he enjoyed at times, so a lesson he could look forwards to not dread. Stepping inside the room, he was silently gracious for the warmer temperature kept within, taking in the usual and not so usual surroundings. Top hats for all of them, though by the professor’s words, they weren’t ordinary top hats by any means and the Ravenclaw was certainly curious about them as he took a random desk. Though he’s wait while others explored it at the moment.
Lisa and Evan were already there, as well as Ash and her flowers. His own…issues…had thankfully recently been limited to the occasional trickle. With the cold of winter upon them, he didn’t actually want to freeze to anything by creating ice. It just meant he had to be careful with his parchments as he wrote notes.
Norman checked his watch, noticing that it was getting close to the lesson start time. He peered down the hall, in search of any more arriving students, just in time to see Atreyu-Rehman approaching. “Good afternoon, Mr. Atreyu-Rehman,” he replied with a smile and a polite nod.
After allowing a few more moments for stragglers, Norman glanced at his watch once more, 1:00 on the dot, time to start! He stepped inside the classroom, closing the door behind him with a quick flick of his wand. “Right, let’s get started! Eyes front, please,” he addressed the group, standing beside the table at the front of the room.
He paused to allow time for the students to focus on him - and more importantly, the contraption next to him - before continuing. “Now that you’ve had a chance to examine this thing -” He gestured to the object. “- what do you think it’s used for? How might we use magic to do the same thing? Give me your best guess!”
OOC: CLASS HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED! Feel free to jump in at any point in the lesson; just pretend your student has been here the whole time unless you want IC consequences for a late arrival. You’ll have 22-36 HOURS for Question 1, depending on how busy my schedule is tomorrow. If you have questions, please VM or PM me.
