Professor Mao-Macdougal is taking a little too much pleasure in her dismemberment stories, Tag though. He shuffled his papers, trying to cover up the muffled squeaks coming from his bag. Tag didn't want Randy the rat to end up turning in to an object lesson.

"Excuse me, Professor," Tia said, raising an eyebrow and forcing herself not to snigger. "There are several versions of the story. We were merely narrating what took place in one of the versions," she pointed out. "You really ought to have mentioned what version you were relating to," she added, shrugging, fully aware that she was in for a loss of more hosue points. But this time, she hadn't actually meant to annoy the Professor - It was something she really had wanted to point out, so she hadn't hesitated to
"You are excused for your supreme ignorance, Ms Roy," said Andi calmly as she twiddled her wand. "I requested you buy the unexpurgated version, and I made sure that the books Flourish and Blotts ordered were correct in their detail. The German version merely had the poor frog tossed against the wall. Did I request you tell me the Gaelic, or Polish version? No, I did not, I was merely adding detail. Five points off Gryffindor for incompetence."

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Andi reached behind her desk and pulled out a variety of objects, small china ornaments, a few golden balls and various other breakables.

"Thank you for the explanation proffeser."said Amanda quietly,taking notes.

futuremrsmalfoy 07-29-2006 08:48 PM

Kally sat taking as many notes as she could, in such a small amount of class time.

Nightingale 07-29-2006 08:48 PM

Kay noticed the professor taking things out of her desk, so she looked up from her notes to pay closer attention.

Brittany Weasly 07-29-2006 08:49 PM

"10 points from Gryffindor already" Brittany thought to herself . "well this might not be my favorite class." and Brittany then continued to liseten to the professor.

Evan listened to the teacher's account of the tale versions, genuinely interested. The class sure was animated, and he was pleased to see that his housemates were doing a great job at answering the professor's questions. His head had not stopped throbbing, however, and he started to wish they were discussing something else rather than beheading and the likes. As a Gryffindor girl made a rather snappy retort, Evan eyed the teacher curiously, wondering as to the outcome of the lesson. The way things were going, many house points were yet to be awarded/abducted.

Nick raised his hand. "Professor. Thank-you for telling us another version of that story.I never heard that version before."

Maxilocks 07-29-2006 08:50 PM

Thinking to play it a bit safer from now on, Tia whipped out a journal and dipped her quill in ink. Pressing it to the surface of a yellowish parchment, she began to jot down what the Professor was saying, thoroughly amused at the look of glee on the Professor's face.

"Professor, did they do violent things to humans as well? You know, to break spells and charms put on them?" Tasha was very curious.

magical girl 07-29-2006 08:50 PM

saeda waited for what the
proffesor was going to bring out.

GreenDayGirl9293 07-29-2006 08:50 PM

Nicole looked up, disappointed. Tia kept losing points for Gryffindor. 15 points already!!! But, then she went back to taking notes, so she wouldn't forget anything.

Thump0427 07-29-2006 08:51 PM

Noticing the strictness of the Professor Thump continued to take notes on what she was saying,neglecting to answer any questions unless he was sure of the answer.

A good question. Andi nodded in acknowledgement at the girl. "Yes, of course there were, but many times, or at least in the accounts that we have, the human was charmed into a different form, an animal or a monster like in Beauty and the Beast, the Seven Ravens and so on and so forth."

BrightestWitch 07-29-2006 08:52 PM

Jordana watched the Professor and so far she liked her. She came on a bit strong, but then ignorance and the lack of hearing that some people were showing would cause anyone to be annoyed, and snap at any moment. She waited for the Professor to continue with her lesson

Sophia rose her hand. "What did they hope to accomplish by throwing the frog prince against the wall?" she asked as she wrote down notes on her parchment.

Brittany Weasly 07-29-2006 08:54 PM

Brittany listened to the professor explain about the humans as she took notes. "That was kind of interesting" Brittany thought to herself.

I'm Spanish, love, I don't know what unexpurgated means, Tia thought to herself, glaring at the Professor. "Whatever," she said under her breath, rolling her eyes at the ceiling and jotting down what the Professor had just said too, the Flourish and Blotts part and all.

"So what made them stop? I mean, what changed their ways?"

Spork! 07-29-2006 08:55 PM

"Maa'm,are those stories really madeup or what they did to muggles in the olden times?"asked Amanda

futuremrsmalfoy 07-29-2006 08:56 PM

Kally thought about this, Charms put on humans but why?? "professor..why were charms usually put on humans.??" she aksed raisn gher hand.

GreenDayGirl9293 07-29-2006 08:56 PM

Nicole was very happy with this teacher. She may be a bit..difficult at times, but she was very smart. She knew a lot of very interesting stuff, and Nicole took lots of notes. She was happy that she had decided to take this class.

"Oh, that was just a detail," said Andi with a shrug. "She was annoyed by the overlyamourous talking frog and flung it. Interestingly, she broke the charm. And what we are going to do today is this basic form of wandless magic. Please come forward and take one item."

OOC: I have to go soon, again PLEASE keep chatting to a minimum. I will continue the lesson later in the day or tomorrow. Thank you for cooperating.

Fred walked to the teacher.

Spork! 07-29-2006 08:59 PM

Amanda walked up to the proffesers desk and took a golden ball.
