| Term 22: May-August 2009 Term Twenty-two: Mermish Skirmish (Sept 2068 - June 2069) |

| | Special Assembly Headmaster Bontecou actually arrived for something early (he'd given himself a two hour head start) and he spent that early time setting up. First, he banished the tables to the sides of the hall and then he moved the benches so that they were all facing the raised dias. Then, he banished the staff table to the wall and set out some of the staff chairs along the side, leaving the middle open for the cage and podium. He figured the younger students would go in front with the older (and presumably taller) students in the rear with any other staff that wouldn't be directly involved with the assembly.
Once he was ready, he waited for the staff and students who were coming. They still had some time...

Hopefully everyone would realize after this assembly that prejudice against anyone - werewolves included - was unacceptable.

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." Clifford's attention had been caught by someone a little ways down the bench. Evangeline looked as surprised as he did. Werewolf.. were the staff freakin' INSANE!? He knew most of them were off their rockers but still! DUDE!
The seventh year was so busy craning his neck to get a look at Evangeline, he barely noticed Prefect Snot Girl was talking to him and merely nodded.

Cam just stared with WIIIDE WIIIDE eyes at the boy who'd gotten pumpkin head poured on him. SNORT.
Peeves WAS epic, period. "WOOOOO," he cheeered at the ghost when he left and glanced at all of the adults, wondering when they were gonna give theeee werewolf lecture. The cage was PROBABLY just a prop to show how to save yourself from werewolves. Merely... put them in a biiiig cage, right? Right. He didn't know much about them, but he KNEWW they were DANG scary.
But he knew he could TOTALLY AND POSITIVELY take on a werewolf. WHY? Because... because he always had a sickle on him. A SILVER sickle. Silver was their weakness, right? He got one out from his pocket juuuust in case.

Demetria sat and waited patiently for the assembly to start. How could the professors let this much commontion go on. Peeves was causing quite a disruption. Oh well. Were people freaking out because there was going to be a werewolf? Well not everyone is friends with a werewolf.

She turned to look for Pepe. She'd been avoiding him this past month...

"then Id wish that they put the older students first, so I can hide you away some where in the back, Worst comes to worst I'll run out of the great hall with you on my shoulders." he was serious. but he still gave her a Wink.

She was surprisingly not freaked out by the fact that they would be in the company of a Werewolf.After all,the Headmaster would never allow it to roam among the students.He might be.....yeah....but he wasn't stupid.
Sarah looked around at everyone else.It appeared that all the professors giving the talk had arrived,although Lupa was looking less than healthy.WAIT! She is a werewolf herself isn't she?! She's not going to be...tonight...is she?
The thought raced through Sarah's mind as she sat,clicking her heels together under the bench.

Cope seated himself near Willow and gave her an ironic look. "Always seems to be something dangerous to do around here, doesn't it?"

Hurrying to the Great Hall, Iliana slowed to a walk just inside the door. She hardly ever wore her emerald green robes but this was sort of a special occasion and Less LOVED her in green. Besides... they did bring out her eyes.
She scanned the crowd for a familiar face and was pleased as punch to see Caroline sitting in the back row. As she walked over, she gave Alessia an encouraging wave and then sat down beside the Nurse. "Good evening, Cari."

He was looking forward to the assembly and proving to the students that werewolves were just people with another side. Yes, it could be scary and dangerous, but it was nothing to cause you any anxiety when the werewolf was just human like everyone else. You were less likely to be afraid of the unknown when it was no longer unknown. At the same time, he wouldn't think any less of her if she ducked out before moonrise. Now, who was supposed to be starting them off? He looked around at Lawson. "Were you going first or Kazimeriz?"

Her voice turned calm and sweet, "Besides, not only is the whole staff is here, but YOU are..." She reached up and kissed him on the cheek. "Hello Reynard."

Werewolves, oh my! Demetri couldnt help but smirk as the chattered seemed to be scared. Lots of the little students seemed intrigued but scared that a werewolf was actually going to be presented. Like Demetri had said before. the werewolf could chose to be good or bad. Like that one guy.. name started with an L he thought, he took a potion and then hid himself away from people. That was a good werewolf. That other werewolf guy, he would poistion himself so that he would attack a certain person. therefore. Bad werewolf.

Sarah giggled. "I think that is probably right." She looked at him thoughfully for a moment before speaking. "I am glad they didn't, you don't have to worry about me, I love werewolfs." She said truthfully.. "I have loads of questions I want to ask a werewolf you know." She giggled when he said he would run out with her on his shoulders. "If you leave, I'll stay behind thank you." She said seriously then she saw the wink and relaxed a bit before saying. "But if your scared you can always rest on my shoulder."

Well, that was certainly entertaining and the term wasn't even over yet! Despite the fact that the castle was now restored, and the evil powers that be were now in a safer place far away from the students, Angela still felt a slight prickling sensation at the back of her neck. It had to be because of this werewolf business. Even if it was obvious that safety precautions were being made...she couldn't help but analyze the possible dangers of the situation. She was the librarian, after all. It was her nature to analyze.
Brushing one hand through her hair, she strolled into the Hall, her gaze zeroing in on some of the staff. "Iliana..Caroline." She greeted with a nod and small smile.

Professor Lawson." he murmured as they approached them.

Julie manevered her way to her part of the fourth year bench. Reaching it she plopped down. As she did so her robe swished in some water. Groaning, she tried to ignore it. God how she hated water when she was in dry clothes.

Livvy hadn't noticed the memo about the Special Assembly until just a few moments ago and she quickly bustled into the Great Hall, very quietly. The Great Hall looked back to normal... no water... except that the tables were set in rather odd places. And there were benches. By year. Gaahhhhh.....
The fifth year made her way to the fifth year bench and seated herself next to Rachel, near the aisle. "What'd I miss?" she asked, as if they had seen each other just yesterday... when in truth... they hadn't seen each other for weeks!

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ Raiden watched the Professors silently from the Third Year bench, chewing absently on his bottom lip. He'd been lucky enough to have been missed by Peeves' water, but his toes inside his shoes were damp from it running over the floor. Quietly he slumped in his seat, transferring his teeth from his lips to his fingernails on his right hand. He really did need to stop chewing on his lips, it was a bad habit.
Werewolves. He'd never seen one, but... well most everyone else seemed to be scared, and the aura of fear and tension that had spread through the hall crawled against his skin. Surely werewolves weren't that scary...
...right? |
