Astrid quickly and quietly grabbed a seat (rock) up front. This was starting to be a very mysterious class indeed. She was actually getting pretty excited...

Amanda sat down on a rock, thinking that this was much better than the ministry approved classroom.

"Thank you so much Professor," Sabrina said as she sat down on a rock. Now she could see why people liked Hogwarts, the place seemed huge! She hoped that the ministry's reign on the schools ended so she could set foot in that place. "I'm glad we've come here, it's really nice. You're so my favourite teacher now!"

Kaytee sat down on the ground and wondered aloud, "Professor...what exactly is going on?" All of this talk of the Minister and running around was confusing.

Saylie leaned back onto a rock and stared at the professor. She'd been about to fall asleep and was still blinking rapidly to force her eyes to focus. She yawned and stretched, then settled with a smile. It was nice to be outside.

Issy couldn't help but giggle at Lainey's "stealth-mode" and imitated it in her own manner; creeping about all secretivly. However, she inched up closer to Lainey, trying to figure out where they were going. It didn't take long. Gasping, she squeaked, grabbing for Melly or Serena or Ari or whoever was nearest.

"Look! There, LOOKLOOKLOOK!" she breathed. "Hogwarts! We're by Hogwarts!"

Excitedly, she seated herself upon a large rock and pulled Melly down beside her, feeling uplifted to be so near Hogwarts.

Ashley sat on a rock near the proffessor

Smiling gladly, she sat on a strange-enough comfortable rock, she waited patiently for the Professor to tell them more about why they were being here, so close to Hogwarts.

Crystal followed her class to the gate and sat on the ground as close to the school as she could possible get

Ari walked up rubbing her eyes as she tried not to sneeze from the sudden burst of pollen that burst through her personal space as she walked outside, wondering where in the world Lainey was taking them. She had to admit leaving the 'safe' classroom felt wonderful, hah leaving the princess school was wonderful.

Soon she stopped shorty of where a few girls were standing, her eyes wide. "Hogwarts!!" she murmured, a huge grin appearing on her face as she started walking again towards the gates - which were locked. Smiling brightly she looked over to professor Lainey and couldn't help but grin as she sat down on a rock and crossed her legs.

Oh my God! Tommy wanted to burst into tears as she looked up at Hogwarts. Oh how she missed it. She was so excited she only wished she could be sharing this with Paul. The memories, even the bad ones were a welcomed vision compared to Belle's

Lola's shoes made no hint of a sound against the soft path, unusual, since her footware usually clicked, clopped, or clapped against even the softest surface. Lola was completely unnerved by the silence, periodically shooting confused glances toward Kaytee and bating her breath.

However, it was riveting! Lola felt like she was a spy! Like...oh what were they called in that Muggle movie museum...Bond girls! Her first and strongest craving for a catsuit rose up against the teenage hormones that were subdued without the boys...oh, the sweet, sweet boys.

The air around the melancholy castle smelled like integration. Unable to contain herself, Lola twirled, coming dangerously close to the gates before raptly sprinting over and reserving a seat by Kaytee, on a very somber, very stylish looking rock.

She was so ready for a photo op.

Steelsheen looked at the gates of Hogwarts, afraid to blink her eyes for fear that the image might dissapear. There it is.she thought There's the beloved school I sacrificed so much to attend to She grabbed a small piece of rock from the ground, small and smooth, and held it tight in her hand.

Anna stared up at the gate in wonder, almost like it was some magnificent creature she'd been out on a journey for years to find and had just caught the first glimpse of its being. She wanted to cry. This was, well, her home. She also found herself wishing that Cale would have been here to see this, too. He'd never even been given the chance.

Stupid ministry. Maybe the boy's class would get to do this very same thing, though. Who knew what Professor Lainey had in store today, though. This was one of the most confusing classes she'd ever been to. Anna suddenly had the strong urge to burst through the gates and run home as fast as she could...and never look back. She couldn't wait to tell Cale!

Amanda looked at Hogwarts in amazement, she much rather be there with the boys then in the separate schools. She wondered if things would stay this way forever.

Hogwarts.

EEEP!!! Hogwarts was THERE!! The castle looked even more magnificent after all those months without seeing it. Where they going to go in? She highly doubted it, especially after Lainey told them to sit down.. Ah well. Just looking at the castle was .... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!

With her eyes still fixed on Hogwarts, she sat down in the soft grass, her bag on her lap. Eeep. Hogwarts!!

Never had she realised before just how much of a home that castle was to her.

Kaytee moved over to where Lola was sitting and plopped down beside her. She looked through the large gates and saw it; Hogwarts. Oh, how she longed to enter the gates and those doors to the castle. Her brother had gotten her so excited about going there, and then something like this happens: segregation. She sighed and looked back to Lola. "I bet it's wonderful in there...nothing like Belle's school."

"Excuse me?" She squeaked as she hurried, panting behind the students and Professor. Did she look like the athletic type? Did she? Patting her chest, Daphne tried not to pay attention to the sinister voice in her head.

Maybe if you lost some weight you could keep up.

"Why are we picking rocks?" Or did she hear wrong? Raising a hand she shook her head. "Never mind."

Standing was good too.

Rapunzel beamed, just the presence of Hogwarts was enough to brighten her day. And enough to wake her up, too.

"Hogggggywarts, oh how I've missed you!" she cooed, walking up to the gates and stroking a bar. "Now this is more like History of Magic," she added, grinning at Professor Lainey.

Dear MERLIN!
Hogwarts as right there, and it looked so amazing.. even more amazing than usual.
"Beautiful, beautiful." she said with a grin as she looked at Hogwarts.
Merlin knew how much she missed it.

Ellie stopped next to the place where Evangeline was sit, she sit down next to her as she asked with an eyebrow raised. "What are we going to do?

Steelsheen approaches her friends, still keeping her eyes on the Hogwarts gates Girls, its real isnt it? I mean its not some sick conjured up image to play with our emotions is it? she asked, wanting so hard to believe that this is real, that they have finally found Hogwarts.

She couldn't believe this. They were actually right in front of Hogwarts. Breathing heavily, she was overcome with shock. Serena's mind was whirling. What it felt like to be close to home! Giving a bright smile to Proffesor Lainey, she sat down on the grass happily. She would do anything to get back into Hogwarts. THE rightful school.

Katrina nearly started jumping up and down. They were at Hogwarts! HOGWARTS! Finally she could see the school that she had wanted to attend so badly. She walked over to a nice, flat rock and sat down, unable to resist the urge to bouce. She was so happy!

"We're not picking up rocks. We're.. using them as chairs. You all should be using your proper sitting techniques that Rae taught you," Lainey snorted and sat down, most unlady like, on a rock.

"So.... I think that... I'm not ready for History to die. Today, I think, we'll immortalize our beloved school. Everyone take your notes out about the Minister, turn the parchment over to the blank side, and draw me a picture of Hogwarts."


OOC: It would be so awesome if some of you used paint to draw some pics! *coughpointswillbebigcough* We'll add it to the History Gallery!
