Lesson one
 

Professor Mallard walks around his classroom placing blank notebook paper and a number 2 pencil with an eraser at each desk. He walks back up to the large blackboard in the front of the classroom and begins writing notes. Dust from the chalk falls to the floor as he writes, some floats through the air. Professor Mallard runs a chalky hand through his dark green hair giving him an aged look.

Tas peeked into the classroom and checked if anyone was there. She didn't notice anyone but Professor Mallard, so she cleared her throat and asked. "I'm sorry, Professor. May I come in?"

Professor Mallard heard a small voice coming from the door. He turned around to see a young Slytherin girl. "Yes, do come in. Please take a seat and write out your full name on the paper. As soon as the other student come in I will give further instructions." He smiled at the girl, the green and silver of her robes brought back fond memories of his own time spent at Hogwarts as a student. He continued to write notes on the blackboard.

Tas smiled back at the Professor and came into the classroom, not having any problems with finding a free seat. She decided to sit closer to the blackboard and Professor since she really liked numerology and always wanted to learn all the possible ways to figure out a person's destiny with the help of numbers. She strongly believed that numbers had some special power.
She sat down and took the blank paper hat was on her desk. Write down my name, she thought carefully scribbling "Anastasia Timmons" down and putting the paper away, waiting for the other students to arrive and curiously looking at the notes on the blackboard.

Bridget came into the classromm,she stoped it her tracks as she saw that only a Slitherin girl around her age and the Proffesor were inside"Hi"she said"I'm sorry,is this the Arithmancy class room?"

Tas saw a Ravenclaw girl come in.
"Sure, that's exactly the Arithmancy classroom", she answered smiling and suggesting the girl to sit down next to her with the movement of her hand. "Would you like to sit with me? What year are you in?"

Bridget walked over to the Slitherin girl and sat down next to her "Thanx" she said "I'm a first year,names Bridget" she looked down at the blanke paper infront of her and then to the the other girl's and she spotted the girls name on the top "Is your name Anastasia?" she asked

Stacey walked into the classroom. She heard the professor telling a student to write their full name on the piece of paper that laid on the desk. Stopping at a desk in the middle of the classroom, she took her seat as she laid her bookbag next to her on the floor. She grabbed the number 2 pencil and looked at it for a moment then pulled the piece of paper to her. On the sheet of paper, she wrote "Stacey Black" then laid the pencil down and watched the professor fill up the chalkboard with notes.

Bridget wrote on the top of her page Bridget Gails,then looked back at the girl that had just entered the class room "Hi" she whisperd "I'm Bridget,I'm a first year,in Ravenclaw ,you?"

Tas nodded. "That's right. Anastasia, or Tas for friends, first year Slytherin. Nice to meet you, Bridget!"

Stacey looked over as she heard someone speak. "Nice to meet you," she whispered with a smile, not wanting to talk too much during class. "My name is Stacey and I am a second year Hufflepuff. I do hope that you enjoy your classes. They are wonderful." She then reached into her bookbag and pulled out a piece of parchment for taking her own notes. She left her quill in her bookbag seeing that the pencil on the desk wrote just as well as the quill.

"nice to meet you too tas" said Bridget "Do you want to hang out on the grounds after this class?" she asked hopefully

"Cool,so you were here last year?"Bridget asked "Hey,do you want to hang out on the Hogworts Grounds with me and Tas,witch is this girl next to me,after this class,it would be really great"

Hermy walked in and nervously looked around. She chose a seat fairly central within the classroom and started to pull out her quill, before noticing the pencil in front of her. Seeing the others writing their names along the top of the paper, Hermy wrote 'Hermy Smythe' carefully in neat round handwriting. Looking up, she watched the others and waited for further instruction.

"Sure, I do want!" she smiled at Bridget, then turned to Stacey. "Hello! My name's Anastasia, but you can call me Tas, I'm a first year Slytherin. Nice to meet you!", she held out her hand.

Bridget looked back at the girl that had just entered,she was to far for her to whisper to her,so Bridget just waved and smiled at in her direction,hoeing she would get the welcome

g_g came in the classroom. "Not yet late!" she thought. she sat down on the third row and waited for class to start.

"OK,thats wondurful,do you two want to meet me by the lake?" Bridget asked

"Hi" Bridget greeted the griffindor girl that had just come in "I'm Bridget" she held her hand out for her to shake

g_g was surprised. "Hi!" she said shaking Bridget's hand. "I'm Zyra...but everyone else calls me g_g" she said smiling. "and ive introduced myself like that a million times!" she thought.

Tas nodded. "Yeah! Sure, I'll be there!"
She looked at the blackboard hoping Professor would say something or tell them they can write what he had written on the blackboard while Bridget was chatting with other students.

"OK g_g , nice to meet you" Bridget said "do you want to sit next to us?"she asked

"Yeah!" she said smiling and moving to where Briget and the others were sitting. "Hello!" she said to the others.

"Hi"Bridget said to the Griffindor girl who had just arrived "Would you like to sit with us?"

"Sure! I'm Ebony. What your name?" Ebony asked as she sat down.
