As you walk down the first floor corridor headed towards the History of Magic classroom, the faint sounds of music can be heard coming from that direction. It's not all that loud and seems more for the benefit of Professor Glendower as she is putting herself in the proper mindset for class.

Outside the classroom door hangs a large, ornate sign with the message, Make an Entrance. It is the same sign that hung outside the room last year, but she has written in her own flowery cursive the word Respectfully

underneath it as she realized that some students needed the reminder. She was all about creativity and individual interpretation, but it was important to be nice too!

Once inside the classroom, you'll find Professor Glendower who might be singing along to the music as she happily dances through the rows of chairs, placing a chocolate frog on each desk. Welcome to History of Magic!

Jasmine arrived at the History of Magic classroom prepared. She was expecting to have to make an entrance and she had actually given it some thought this time. Crossing the threshold, Jasmine pirouetted her way to an empty desk. Spotting the Professor, she said, "Hello Professor Glendower". Would they be doing something dramatic today? Only time would tell. Sitting down at her desk, Jasmine unpacked her things at sat back to wait for class to begin.

WhittyBitty · 09-19-2014, 02:49 AM

Lux was ready for this class. Ready to have fun learning history, and ready to make an entrance.

The music only served to make the redhead happier as she approached the doorway. Getting into a handstand, that was how she walked into the room. Ooooh, everything was upside down and that was kind of funny. "Hello, Professor Glendower!" she called out to the upside down woman who was making her way along the desks.

Reaching her seat, she righted herself before sitting down.

"Hey, Jasmine!"

Marigold was lucky enough to be early to class, so only a few people could see her as she walked straight to a desk without anything special. "Hi, professor!" she said, then hurriedly added, "Inconspicuous entrances are still entrances, right? Like... Entrance by not doing crazy stuff." A.k.a. she was waaaay too self conscious to do anything out of the ordinary, even with only a few people in the room. She turned her head to watch the other entrances, though. Especially Z's and Ruby's.

Team ronmione · 09-19-2014, 03:32 AM

All right. History of Magic. Lets see how this Zzzzz class turned out. Devlin would give it a chance but who knew right?

He headed down the corridor until he found the classroom and stopped dead center.

Make. An. Entrance. What did that even mean? Just like walk inside? That was entering. It was all up for interpretation and Devlin would interpret it in the most literal of terms.

So, what'd he do? Thats right. He walked straight into the classroom. As normal as possible.

"I've made my bloody entrance." He murmured as he went to the back desks and slouched in his seat. Perfect place to possibly fall asleep.

Sararara · 09-19-2014, 03:42 AM

Norah skipped through the classroom door and chanced a twirl or two before selecting a desk. "Hello, professor!" she called cheerily as she took her seat. How's THAT for an entrance? She slid into a seat and looked around, waving at Marigold who was one of the only other students already there.

Wait. Was that a chocolate frog? No WAY.

lazykitty · 09-19-2014, 03:50 AM

Judging by the music coming from the room as she approached, History of Magic was going to be another one of those forced positivity classes. Blah. When did it become okay for professors to force that on their students? Why not just lead by example, like Professor Airey? Now in his classes you couldn't help but be all positive and stuff because the man was practically the definition of it. But forced positivity just came across as fake, which it was.

And when Heather reached the door, she scoffed at the sign. 'Make an entrance. Respectfully.' Oooookayyyyy, Professor Shiny Deux. Instead, she just simply entered the class and took a seat, offering up a "Hello, professor." You know, just your standard class entrance.

AmbiguouslyMe · 09-19-2014, 03:50 AM

Thornton entered the room hesitantly, unsure of what to expect given the signage and the music. Classes has been so hit or miss for him since the beginning of term and he couldn't be sure what this would be.

Slipping into his seat, he politely smiled at the professor. "Hello, professor," he offered with a nod, unsure if she'd even noticed him, given her dancing. When he noticed the chocolate frog, though, he made sure to call out "Thank you."

Seated, he left the frog on his desk and began pulling his supplies from him bag. He left his wand inside, hoping that he wouldn't need it.

FearlessLeader19 · 09-19-2014, 03:53 AM

Adi strolled happily down the corridor towards the History of Magic classroom. In his left hand, he held the right hand of AJ and he was swing both of their hands as they went along. "You hear that?'' he asked as they neared the room. Music. He could just hear it as it was playing softly. "Professor Glendower and her entrances,'' he mused.

He turned to AJ with one of his signature grins in place. "Let's give them an entrance,'' the fourth year said. "You wanted to dance before, didn't you?'' Saying no more, he lead he towards the room.

They entered the room together, still holding hands. "Hi, guys. Hi, Professor.'' As he called out his greeting, Adi raised his left hand. "Do a couple of spins and then a dip,'' he whispered to AJ.
...............................

When AJ started on her spins, Adi held onto her hand firmly, all the while grinning. Hey, his girlfriend wasn't too bad at the dancing thing. She hadn't been lieing in the Arena. Annnnd the big finish- the dip. Adi caught her safe and sound before she hit the floor. "Well done,'' he said to her and tugged her upright. How was that for an entrance?

MudInMyBlood · 09-19-2014, 03:53 AM

Being hand in hand with Adi, was there anything better? AJ couldn't think of anything. A smile was firmly placed on her face as they made their way closer to the history of magic classroom. AJ could hear something, and it was definitely music. "I do. It sounds like a children's song, doesn't it?" Her entrances, surely that was still a thing. AJ wondered what she would do this time.

Following Adi's lead, she spotted the professor and gave her a warm greeting. "Hello, professor." Adi had addressed the rest of the class, but she didn't feel like she needed to do that. They got a nod, but that was about it. AJ didn't have to worry about what to do as an entrance because Adi had that covered too. Her eyes twinkled as they met his, and she listened to his whispered instructions.

_________________________________

With her right hand in the air she twirled not once, not twice, but three times while Adi's left hand guided her. Then without warning she dipped low to the ground, and knew that Adi would be there to catch her. She wasn't at all concerned about hitting the floor because she knew her hunk of a prefect wouldn't ever let her get hurt on his watch. As he caught her, she gave him a smile that only he could make her do. Back on her feet she was still grinning. "I have a great partner." He was the reason why she was able to make a fabulous entrance.

Ginevra · 09-19-2014, 04:16 AM

Samantha stopped at the entrance to the classroom. Make an entrance? This was intriguing. Sam entered the classroom with a twirl whilst standing on her tip-toes which she finished with a small and polite curtsey towards the teacher. She headed for a desk and saw the chocolate frog. She looked at her teacher and said to her, "Thank you," and gave her a smile.

Kaos.Doodles · 09-19-2014, 04:20 AM

Another History of Magic class. As he made his way to the classroom Kyroh's face was scrunched slightly in confusion. Music? From the classroom again? As the song flowed through the hall the second year was sure of it. YUP. From the classroom.

This song wasn't like the ones from last year however. He couldn't DANCE to this song. Standing outside the doorway an idea popped into his head. Instantly Kyroh began spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning. Through the door and then through the classroom and IT WAS GOING SO WELL-until he hit a desk and toppled over.

Picking himself up the second year grinned. "Hello Professor!!" And with THAT he took a seat at the same desk that had brought him his spinning demise.

Awarlesta Black · 09-19-2014, 04:46 AM

Dec cringed as soon as he was able to hear the music. There were so many peppy professors at this school, by Merlin. He stopped and stared at the familiar 'Make an Entrance' sign. Uhhhhhhhhhhh...NOPE.

As he stepped through the door, he spotted her placing chocolate frogs on the desks and all of the sudden, he had a change of mind. Bless her soul. Chocolate frogs. Glendower, you da best.

Okay sure he'll give an entrance and it'll benefit everyone. Declan strolled to the front of the class and posed. There people take a good look. You can look, but you can't toooouch. He spun around, so they could take a look at the back of the prize and then went off to find a seat of his own. This chocolate frog was so worth it.

Hera · 09-19-2014, 05:25 AM

.................................................. .

This was all sorts of weird. He could hear music... and it was GROSS. And if that wasn't bad enough, the closer he got, the more sickening the music became too. Happiness what now?! WHAT?!............................ Was this the right class?

Halting at the door, Zeke read the sign. Make an entrance. Uh huh... and what if he didn't WANT to enter THIS room? ... Happiness? Singing together? WHAT?! WHAT?!......

There was this sickening pull though, nagging at him to at least LOOK on the other side of the door. So with some hesitation, Zeke mustered up his courage - cause he was a Gryffindor and so this was required. With a deep breath in, Zeke hitched his bag over his shoulder and....

BURST!

... through the door, one arm by his side, the other raised in mock salute before he MARCHED inside.

Lady teacher person wanted an entrance, well here it was.

"Er... hi Professor." ... "And people," who likely wouldn't want to be seen sitting with him now.

Hhmmm.. where to sit?

Felixir · 09-19-2014, 05:40 AM

Make....... an entrance.

Had this been here last year? Probably. Toby wasn't all that great at remembering anything to do with this lesson, after all. And that extended to any sort of sign-age.

On almost any other day he'd probably had done just that, made an entrance, being the extrovert that he was. But today was... no. Just not today. He was tired and floppy and brain-foggy and not really in his extroverted state of mind today, so Toby just made an entrance in the most literal sense of the word (by walking through the door) and quietly sat himself at a desk.

"Hi Professor," the Hufflepuff said, getting his note-taking things ready. This lesson was the one where his concentration was put to the test, yup.

ArianaBlack · 09-19-2014, 05:59 AM

Zander let out a small sigh at the sight of the sign. Not again. Hadn't they made enough entrances? Like seriously, it was fun and all, but a guy can only think of so many ways to walk into the classroom. The music was different though... And he wasn't sure if it was a good different, but it was... Interesting? And yes, he was still staring at the sign. For the past three minutes actually. Still trying to think of his entrance.

He had already tried the juggling thing last year.... And everyone saw just how well that went. So uh, none of that for now? But what else was there to do? Still thinking. Still thinking hard. AHA!!! Heheh. He knew JUST what to do.

Stretching his arms out in front of him, he put on his best zombie like face and even made a couple grunting sounds. And the walk. Of course he had to walk like the dead toooo. But he had to walk like someone who had their HEART FROZEN OVER. Because he was pretending to be a.... Wait for it........ COLD ONE!!! Even though the yearbook superlative was COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR, Sophie had said that it was just done in fun right? No one actually thought he was going to return to Hogwarts as a Cold One, right? Because he wasn't people. It was an act. He was acting.

Incase people actually thought he was a Cold One. Which he wasn't. Just an act. Is that clear? If anyone's a Cold One around here it's Romanos. Hmph. That apology was totally just the liquid luck talking because she was still suspicious. HMPH. Spotting Professor Glendower, he waved shyly "Hi Professor, hope you've had a good summer." A good summer not filled with evil Cold Ones.

Right anyways, spotting Kyroh!out of the corner of his eyes, the Gryffindor walked towards him. And we'll take the seat right to his left. "Can I sit here?" He had sort of already put his stuff on the desk oops. But it didn't hurt to ask right? Kyroh sort of had a army now. An army of other little ones who always seemed to be surrounding him these days. He'd know. He saw it happen. Mhm. AND HOLYMOLYCHOCOLATEFROG???CANHEEATITCANHE??????

'DRATS, DRATS, DRATS!'

She was late, she knew she was late! She had to have been late! Don't ask the third year why she knew, but she just knew! Knew that she was going to be late & the Professor was going to be so cross with her! Perhaps, she could just pretend that she'd been feeling ill this morning & was unable to get ready in her usual speedy fashion, thus causing her tardiness this morning! Oh, of course that wouldn't work, she was absolutely terrible at lying & she knew it. She could never get away with a possible lie, it was just not within her. It was so wrong. Any person who felt so comfortable doing such horrible things, was a horrible person.

...

Seeing the classroom in her sight the third year was still running with her books clamped against her chest. Josie had been so frantic to make it to the classroom, she just caught sight of the door with a particular note placed on it. Something about making a respectful entran-

0 ______ o

WHY, WHY of ALL times did her boot laces decide that NOW was the perfect opportunity for the third year to make what would be one of the most embarrassing falls of her young life?! And that's exactly what happened to the poor Ravenclaw, as she was suddenly seeing the room spinning over her head multiple times, followed by a soon swirling effect which would soon end up making the girl stare down at the floor below her.

....

She didn't move right away, in total fear of what kind of faces she might be looking at once she'd gathered herself together. But, she knew that she had to stand up whether she liked it or not, or thus be more subjected to a possible scolding from the Professor.

Taking a moment to sit up on her knees, she quickly brought her fingers under her nostrils & then soon looked at her fingers letting out a sigh of relief. She hadn't experienced a nose bleed...not yet at least, but aside from that, there was just some slight alteration she had to make with her uniform & her hair, but after that, everything seemed to be in order.

Refusing to look at anyone around her, she immediately gestured a VERY quick curtsy in the direction of the Professor before letting out a slightly shaky, "S-S-Sorry Professor....Em...G-Good Morning...I-I uh...Th-There was...Ju-st...." But that was all she could get out before quickly taking a seat hiding her face from the others around her.

....Clearly she wasn't late..

But as far as embarrassing moments go...this was DEFINITELY at the top of the list..

...so far at least...

DuckyLinJi · 09-19-2014, 06:18 AM

Make an entrance. Kevin rolled his eyes at the sign on the door and ignored it. He simply walked in normally and sighed as he saw the professor dancing and singing while placing chocolate frogs on the tables. Well, at least the frogs were a good thing.

"I figured you wouldn't appreciate me doing an entrance so i didn't do anything" he grinned as he said down on one of the chairs and grabbed a chocolate frog.

Yeah..no apologising. What for? she had asked for an entrance last year and he had gotten detention for it. It wasn't his fault ~~and hexing a professor wasn't the end of the world in his book~~

Lockhartian · 09-19-2014, 06:33 AM

Sigh. For real?

NO. She was not having a good day, and this nonsense about entrances wasn't going to make anything better, so guess what? She was still making an entrance, NOT making one would mean not coming into the classroom. Lotus was probably crazy for coming in, but she still stepped inside and gave a nod to the Professor. "Hello, Professor," even a SMILE, though forced, was given to the woman.

That was an entrance.

She was pretending to be in a better mood, it ought to be good enough. A seat was chosen shortly after.

GrapehSarah · 09-19-2014, 06:46 AM

Gwen reached the history of magic classroom and saw the sign. Make an entrance huh? She could do that. She smiled and skipped through the door.

"Gwen Samson has arrived!" She blurted before skipping over to her desk. That was her not being over dramatic. Didn't want that. And OMIGOSH! Were those chocolate frogs on their desks?! Okay. This lady was definitely battling Professor Airey for favorite teacher position.

Lady Marmalade · 09-19-2014, 06:59 AM

Darius pace slowed the closer her got to the one class he was dreading more than all others. Sadly he didn't know much about the history of the magical world and he wasn't looking forward to looking like a complete dunce. When the music reached his ears he stalled even more. Had he somehow stepped into a time loop and had gone back in time because the music reminded him of elementary school music class. A part of him wondered if he had taken a wrong turn somewhere and this wasn't the right classroom. It wouldn't have been the first time he gotten lost, but glimpsing other student head inside he was sure it had to be the right place. One thing for certain he wasn't thinking about looking stupid anymore with how some people were entering the classroom. When he read the sign on the door things became a lot clearer.

'Make an Entrance.'

Really? Are you serious? What kind of entrance could one possible make to music like this. There was no way he was going to sing or dance to music like this. Ignore it and just take a seat. The little voice inside told him, but as silly as this was it did seem kind of interesting. It seemed like a very interesting ice breaker to get students too possible loosen up to prepare for a very boring lecture on history.

Maybe dancing wasn't such a bad idea and no he wasn't about to enter doing some twinkle toe ballerina type of stuff, but he did know a bit of tap dancing. Darius tapped his feet a few time just to hear the sound that it would make on the floor and how loud that way it could be heard in between certain breaks in the lyrics of the song. The slow pace of the song certainly didn't make it easy, but something was better than not doing what the Professor asked. "Well here goes nothing."

The tap of his feet was just loud enough for everyone to hear, but a much slower tempo than the usual up beat tempo of tap dancing.

Tap... tap... tap... tap... clap
Tatap... tap tap..

And so that was how Darius go to his seat, tapping his feet to the beat of this crazy happiness song. "Hello Professor." He greeted as he passed; occasionally throwing in a clap and one turn just before he reached his seat and sat down.

SlytherinSistah · 09-19-2014, 07:57 AM

He wasn't looking forward to History of Magic with Professor Glendower. He did not like her. He did not like her classes. ~~Much to the chagrin and disappointment of his RPer.~~ But Cutty saw no reason to let Glendower herself know that. He simply resigned to the idea that he'd have to entertain himself for the next hour or so, though it did help that Glendower put forth her traditional Make An Entrance request.

He waved a spell at the cracked door ahead of him so that it no longer opened at the hinges in the manner traditional of doors. Instead, it spun like a vanity mirror attached at the right and left side. Cutty's thin, monkeylike physique lept on to one side of the door as it lifted and slid down between the frame and the door itself in the nick of time landing on the other side of the classroom. "Finite!" He said, finishing the spell behind him and taking a seat.

Weasley174 · 09-19-2014, 08:25 AM

Angel was totally looking forwards to History of Magic. It was one of her favourite lessons by far. Angel stopped at the door and looked at the sign... make an entrance. Well she could do that no problems.

Angel felt like shouting all rise for the amazing girl... the best looker and the queen of cool Angel Valentine but she had a funny feeling if she did that she might end up with detention so in the end...

Angel did a skip then a twirl.

"Hello Professor... I'm Angel Valentine." Angel beamed as she came into the room. Was that a good entrance. "Hope you had a great summer." Angel then went and took a seat.

SilverTiger · 09-19-2014, 09:44 AM

Hate potions, planets… At least Brooklyn was finding classes here interesting. There was still the matter of people understanding she was a princess and therefore better than them, but she had time. She’d gotten Ethan on her side, and she was making sure the professors liked her too. The rest would follow soon enough. Besides, there was music coming from the History of Magic classroom, and that was only making her think this was going to be another not-boring class. History wasn’t always boring anyway, kind of like her favorite book. That was kind of history too, and maybe this professor would understand how to treat a princess.

She eyed the sign outside the classroom for a moment or two. ‘Make an Entrance’. She always did that, and not in a stupid way like the people she saw disappearing inside ahead of her. A princess knew how to make herself known, and she paused in the doorway as if awaiting a voice announcing her arrival. Of course, none happened, but she proceeded inside after a second or two as if it had. If she’d known how to cast a spell to make it happen, she would have. “Good morning professor,” she said as she saw the woman, dropping into a slight curtsy before heading to an open seat. Hm, they got presents. She could handle that, but the chocolate frog stayed on the desk for the time being.

Stefan · 09-19-2014, 09:54 AM

Of course there will be music, but it wasn’t as lively as Pharell’s Happy from last term. It does however, carry the same message somehow. Ethan debated with himself whether or not he should make an entrance, because of his badge. He was itching to make an epic one but…ugh. What the heck. He’s still Glendower’s student, and he simply must do what he is told. He heard the professor singing along to the music, and Ethan jumped right in to sing along with her.

“Happiness is…five different crayons,” pause and a change in scale, “catching a firefly,” another change in key—much higher than he can do, “setting him freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Hehehe. “Good afternoon, Professor Glendower.” The prefect gave her a nod and took a seat.

Ooh. Chocolate frog? Now that is Happiness…

He got hold of his treat, looked around the classroom, and his eyes fell on Josie.

OHMYMERLINDIDSHESEEHISENTRANCE?! Nuuuuu. NUUUUU. Feeling his face turn red, Ethan sat back on his seat hoping she won't see him. That was really, really embarrassing.
