Anna giggled even louder and let out a girlish squeal. After the pure torture they'd been through thanks to Aornos, just having fun with water was a welcoming experience. As the water hit her in the face, she coughed a little and spit out a bit of it that had gotten into her mouth as she'd been laughing. Maybe the professors would let them have a water hose or water balloon fight sometime before the school year officially ended. Then again, the castle was now equipped with water slides, which Anna had yet to actually get on.

The headmaster was trying to put a stop to Peeves' prank now, though, so Anna promptly took a seat and tried her hardest to refocus herself on the professors who had previously been about to speak. She'd had fun with Peeves, but she was also really interested in learning more about werewolves, too.

Kel had been keeping a very close eye on Peeves and what he was doing with that garden hose when the Headmaster's shout made him jump. He frowned in embarrassment, hoping nobody had seen him jump.

WEREWOLF! Kel forgot completely about the poltergeist at Headmaster Bontecou's words. Well...how fun. Hopefully it wouldn't be a transformed werewolf...was tonight a full moon? Kel couldn't remember. But there was a cage...

If there was one thing that Thomas tried to avoid this whole year it was definitely Peeves. He is creepy and he sounds creepy, he had to destroy his peaceful year of almost silent. Thomas sighed quietly.

Kevin smiled as the headmaster put a stop to peeves fun and basically paid attention to the front of the hall again and wanted to know what the werewolf would be like

Satine looked around and fidgeted from her front row bench seat...this was one time that she kind of wished that she wasn't so young and little...I mean she was on the first row...but she pushed that thought out of her head when she remembered that there was werewolf blood in her bloodline..but it wasn't active...if that's what you call it.

She put a smile on her face and decided that this was def a learning experience for everyone and her....

She watched as Peeves flew through the assembly and hoped he would ignore her.

"But of course, Peeves." Becca gave a mocking bow and smirked up at the poltergeist, glad he appreciated her, and threw her hands up the moment he raised his hose again. She KNEW his spray at her was different from the rest, though - making her his target was a way of showing endearment. Of course.

When the Headmaster intervened and almost burst a vein in his neck from yelling at Peeves, Becca let out a quiet snicker. Peeves WAS the second coolest thing that had ever happened to Hogwarts, no doubt about that. Lainey being the first.

As she was attempted to dodge being squired in the face with water, mainly because she...didn't want to be squirted in the face with water, Vannie caught a glimpse of Clifford. Oh. He looked rather scared. Was she the only one that actually wasnt scared.
Shuffled up a bit, till she was bit closer to the head boy, and didn't need to shout, she smiled at him. "Are you alright Cliff.. -ord."

Jule watched as Peeves went splashing people with the hose. It was kind of funny, but he always caused trouble. Even in the bad times. She just ignored the pesky poltergeist and looked at the werewolf in the cage.

Peeves made a VERY rude noise at the boy and squirted into his face before continuing toward the dias.

Not quite daring enough to squirt the headmaster dead on, Peeves sprayed the air in front of the dias so water fell like rain.

"EEEEKEE WEEEKE IEEEEAAAAIIEEE!" he screeched on.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!

Peeves stopped in flight, eyes wide and jaw slack. He dropped his hose. He turned to Kapoor and knelt down on the table in front of him, bowing and genuflecting as Kapoor spoke.

"Master! My liege!" he cried, then flew up, disappearing with a "POP!"

...but he could not resist one last encore. He hovered over the boy's head, and dumped a pitcher of pumpkin juice on him, then blew a kiss at the girl who had egged him on. "Thank ewe. Thank ewe verrah much!" he cried to her before flying out the window.

Alessia walked into the room wearing really baggy robes...

Oh Merlin... there were a lot of students... She closed her eyes nervously and waited in a corner for Papa Valon.

As Helena finally became aware of the water on her feet, she pulled them up onto the bench quickly before getting a mouthful in a squirt from Peeves. She spat out the (mercifully clean) water onto the floor and coughed slightly before shooting the Poltergeist a glare.

Kevin breathed a sigh of relief when peeves dissapered he sure did like to cause trouble especially in bad times like the school had just gone through and he waited for the professors to start explaining about the werewolf he was a bit scared about it

Sarah smiled when Peeves had gone, she was glad she waited to see what the Headmaster had to say next.

Brant saw Sarah and made his way over to her, sitting beside her he said "hey!, holding her hand behind them so they wouldn't get caught "do you know what this is all about?" he said by Smiling! for he hasn't seen her in a while.

One by one, to pass the time, Rachel listed the things that bothered her right now. Her shoes were all wet, so her feet were cold and she was not comfortable, her OWLs and all the revising has helped cross over to the insane realm, multiple sleepless nights were taking it's toll on her appearance, not just her mood. She looked like a hag, talked like a hag, her eyes were bloodshot and puffy and the bags under them were so large they were more prominent than her actual green-gray eyes.

It wasn't really that surprising then, when the Headmaster told them they'd be studying werewolves, the biggest reaction they had received from her was a stifled yawn and a long glare followed by lots of blinking to stop her eyes from stinging.

And NOW, on top of ALL that, PEEVES was here. Gosh, he had the worst timing EVER!! Watching through angry eyes, Rachel couldn't help but snort as Peeves saluted to some teacher or other before disappearing without another word. Well, good riddance.

Turning back towards the front, she moved slightly to the right in order to avoid a wet patch on the bench and sat down onto the wood, waiting for something to happen while immersing herself with staring at the water by her feet.

"Oh, hi, Willow," the fifth year rasped out, noticing the girl out of the corner of her eye. She didn't even attempt to clear her throat since it would only make it worse. Instead she just settled for a polite nod and a small smile - it was all she could manage now, anyway.

Werewolf?! Evangeline, who had been deadly quiet and about to fall asleep, perked up at the mention of werewolf. They were bringing a werewolf into Hogwarts?! WHAT?! Wasnt the flooding danger enough for one term? Honestly.

At least the staff was here. Surely they could ... stun the werewolf, right? Yeah ... Kazi was around, he was goood! ZOMG! Or maybe he was teh werewolf! He surely looked like one.

Ahem.

Becca stood up and CLAPPED. Direct hit on the first year! Even if it WAS from her own house... Peeves had guts. She caught the kiss and continued to smirk, giving him a polite nod before sitting back down. And then he was gone.

But he'd be back someday. Heh heh.

Sarah smiled as she saw Brant. "I think the Headmaster said it was something to do with a wolf She could hardly hear what he had said, "Though don't ask me what a tampire is I have no idea." She looked at him and hoped he might be able to tell her. "No wait I remember now it's a werewolf."

Professor Kazimeriz shuffled into the great hall, limping noticeably and leaning with all his weight on his cane. His ancient eyes scanned the room, falling on Alessia at last, and he walked over to her.

"Alessia... Good evening, dear. You look well, given the circumstances." He offered her a tiny empathetic smile. He could only imagine what it must be like for the girl, suffering through her time of the month must be a terrible thing. He was glad he never had to experience it.

Thomas felt liquid dripping on his shoulder. It was slimy and it had a terrible smell and then the Ravenclaw guessed that it was Pumpkin juice. Ughhhh.... Thomas hated pumpkin juice it was terrible. He tried to clean his hair from the moldy liquid but the smell was terrible.

Professor Truebridge wasn't precisely involved in providing this... educational experience, but it made a strange sort of sense to him to attend. Discretely of course.

He took a spot by the wall just inside the door and waited.

Brant was shocked "a Vampire" he said all to loudly. then he started to whisper to her "are you sure, They wouldn't let a Vampire in here." Would they? Brant thought. He didn't realize how hard he was squeezing Sarah's hand untill he heard her give a little "ouch" he felt bad. "Oh, Im sorry!!!" Giving her that look that she loved to much.

Hannah looked around at everyone freaking out. She couldn't really understand why. Her parents had always told her that werewolves were people, too, and that as long as they took their potion, they were perfectly normal, polite people. She guessed she could see why people would be scared of them if they didn't know that... but she hoped everyone would know it after this assembly. Discrimination was bad.

It hadnt been long that Demetri had been standing there when Professor Truebridge seemedto materialize out of no where and join him by the wall. Giving him a little nod he watched Peeves disappear and waited for this thing to start... why had he come in the first place?

Kevin wondered what was going on when he saw Professor Lupa in baggy robes he hoped that she was well but was wanting to know what was going to happen during the assembly and whether he should feel safe enough sitting right at the front
