"Alright, thanks, Mr. Marius," Lexi said, waving bye to the Hufflepuff boy.
"...and you're welcome. Have a good day!" Quote:

Pointing his wand at the banner to do the thing that the whole lesson was about. Two circles, one right then left.
"Colorus Fulgeo...Silver to Gold."
He then set his banner over on the side of the room that the Professor had asked them to place it. Then he took his quill and went back to a desk to start on his paragraph.
Spotting Chris placing his banner over to the "finished banners" side of the room, Lexi headed over to see what sort of creation he'd come up with. Being that Chris was already back at his seat...writing his paragraph, it seemed...Lexi just nodded and smiled at the banner. She turned and gave Chris a thumbs up before moving on.

really tell there was a missed places spodge of paint. Hmpfh-ity-hmph. No going back now. She stood over her peice of paper she wanted it too dry so no one else saw her failure of work.
"Excellent job, Miss Miller. I love the "You rock" part of it," she said, knowing that was a popular phrase amongst the students. Lexi saw that there was a tiny drop of paint in a place where she didn't think Shana meant to put it, but it didn't mess up the banner at all. If anything, it just added a bit more character to the artwork.
"When it's dry, you can place it over there," she said, pointing to the banners on the far side of the room.
"You can place your paragraph on my desk, then you're free to go." Quote:

Trixie grinned and was extremely pleased with her result.
Right. Now what was it that she had to do? Oh right.... The paragraph. So lifting out her parchment and dipping her Phoenix quill into the ink, Trixie set to work writing it all down.
Spotting Trixie across the room, Lexi paused for a moment to watch as the Slytherin girl closed her eyes for a few seconds before getting a good look at her banner. When Trixie's eyes opened and a grin widened across her face, Lexi smiled, as well, then headed over to see the banner for herself.
"You see there, it worked, and you did a remarkable job," she said, watching the flashing colors of the Slytherin-themed banner.
"You may turn the banner and paragraph in, then after that, you're free to go." As she talked, she pointed to the far area of the room where the finished banners were laying and to her desk, where a few paragraphs had been placed.

Gold was sooo excited, now. If they could make any kind of support banner, that meant she could go wiiiild! Chocolate! Flowers! HIIIGH HEELS! She grinned, managed to say, "Thanks, Professor!" and then looked down at the paper in front of her, red to gold and gold to red, wondering how on earth she would choose between so many options.
It seemed like the Gryffindor prefect was excited. No doubt Gold was either thinking about something fashion-related or maybe even cooking-related. Lexi remembered hearing Gold say she enjoyed cooking a lot.
"You're welcome, dear," she simply said, leaving Gold to her work.

"I need you...and you....couple of those and of course a large piece of banner material!"
Laiden with his tools, Patroclus returned to his desk and laid everything out before himself, next he began to mentally map his plan of attack!
Lexi could only laugh in amusement as Patroculus jumped from his seat in excitement. Merlin, those Gryffindors must love to paint! Either that, or they were really pumped up about their house team. Not wanting to interrupt whatever inspiration had struck the boy, Lexi just watched him work for a few seconds then moved on.

Hearing the praise, she smiled brightly. It meant a lot to her that someone else liked her banner. "Thank you professor," she beamed as she pulled out her wand once again and cast wingardium leviosa with a swish and flick. Levitating the banner to the area where the other banners were drying, she lowered it and took a last look. Yeah, it was nice and she had done it herself. Smiling to herself, she returned to her desk and started to clean up.
"You're welcome, Miss Bennett," Lexi said, watching as Mina levitated her banner across the room then returned to the table. Oh, and look at that...she was even going to clean up her mess...without Lexi even having to remind her to do.
"Thank you, Miss Bennett. I appreciate the help cleaning up all the materials." Quote:

Not quite across the page, but still rather cute. "Awesome!" she said to no-one in particular. She stood back to admire her work, before clearing a space on her desk to write her paragraph.
Just then, several little birdies caught Lexi's attention, and she glanced over to see that Nia was finished with her banner.
"Awesome, indeed," Lexi agreed, watching as the cute birds marched across the page.
"I absolutely love the birds, especially the way they move." Seeing that Nia was getting started on her paragraph, Lexi decided to move on and give the girl time to work.
"As soon as you're done and your assignment has been turned in, you're free to go." Quote:

"WooHoo!" Sarah exclaimed, when the text suddenly burst into life. She repeated it for each lot of words on the page, before stopping and blinking at the flashingness.
I don't think the rest would look right if I had too much of it flashing, she thought, nodding her head and stowing her wand.
"Now I just have to do the paragraph. Great." Taking a quill and another piece of parchment, Sarah set about writing why she'd done what she'd done.
Putting her quill down, Sarah blew on the ink to dry it. Laying the two pieces of parchment side by side, she put her hand in the air and turned towards the Professor.
"Professor Carlton... I've finished, ma'am." Yush, she had.
Hearing a loud WOOHOO across the room, Lexi turned toward the Hufflepuff prefect. Well, the female Hufflepuff prefect, that is. Now
that was Lexi's kind of enthusiasm, yup. She couldn't but laugh, though, at the girl's
un-enthusiasm for the paragraph she had to write.
"Judging by your woohoo, I take it you're finished, Miss Griffin?" Lexi asked, approaching the table with a smile. She was still amused at the girl's reactions for both the banner and the paragraph. Just then, the girl confirmed that she was done...with both the banner and the paragraph, it seemed.
"Your banner looks fantastic, and that's a well-written paragraph, too. Well done, Prefect." Quote:

And now for the paragraph...
There. Ta da! Finito.
"Now that is one awesome lion," Lexi said, coming to a stop beside Aiden.
"Hmm...wonder if we could charm it to roar, as well..." Lexi studied the banner, then decided that later on she'd try to get some sound effects on it, too. She'd have to read up on a few things first, though.
"Well, if you're all done, you can turn in your assignments and be dismissed," she added, giving Aiden a little smile.
OOC: Please don't forget to PM me a link to your post with your username, character's name and year, house, and member number. Also, for those of you haven't turned in a banner and paragraph yet, you still have time to do so. The deadline is July 13 at 11:59 PM EST.
