| | |  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...

So no one obviously expected the next announcement; it was evident from the absolute shock and surprise evident on their faces. Alessia..was a werewolf? A true werewolf? Of course Angela had read about the subject, but to actually meet someone who had been cursed for life as a werewolf...it was nearly unbelievable. But the woman stood in front of them all, announcing that very fact to a room full of people.
With a low sigh, she shot a look towards Iliana. Had she known about this?

What?! No way! Her Ancient Runes teacher - Professor Lupa was a werewolf? That was almost as ludicrous as eyes that could change color, but as this thought crossed Helena's mind, she relaxed slightly and actually smiled up at her; Professor Lupa had always been one of her nicest teachers.

Chris blink at Professor Lupa's words. She herself was the werewolf?!! Huh? So she could have just eaten them all at one point. Well she wouldn't have eaten them and she probably had this under control.....sort of if it seemed not many people knew. But still one of their own Professors a werewolf weird...

James looked at the group as they found out the Ancient Runes teacher was a werewolf. James smiled, knowing that something like this would happen sooner or later. He decided at that moment that he would leave Hogwarts, find his education elsewhere. The home that he knew and loved was changing too much for him, and he didn't care for it.

wow. Demetri had seen Alessia around school. Never knowing she was a werewolf. she must be one of the good ones. The news shocked him a little and his arms uncrossed form his chest and went to his pockets. "Wow" he mutered.

Helena looked across the rows, giggling silently at some of the other students' reactions. Able to control herself finally, she caught the gaze of a fourth year in her house and flashed him a smile, so as not to be caught like she was staring.

Nikita gulped as Professor Lupa made her announcement. That was...horrible and incredible. Clearly, the affliction was manageable, if their Professor could teach with it. Still...knowing there was a werewolf for a teacher was a little...surprising. Nikita didn't know the professor well and thus had not seen anything suspicious in that regard.

Should he ask a question? That was the whole point of this right to be educated on werewolves and to interview a real one? gulping slightly he looked around before putting his hand up, showing no nervousness he felt inside on the outside. "Professor Lupa...ma'am? How long did it take for your to figure out you had Lycanthropy?" he asked, it was the only thing he could come up with at this point.

Feeling eyes on him, Demetri gazed around and saw some girl from his house flashing him a smile. Cocking an eyebrows he smiled back, not enthusiastically. He had never been real friendly... jsut friendly enough.

Ugh. Typical Slytherin, Helena thought with a mental sigh as she referred to gazing around the room. No wonder I go for Gryffindors. She looked back over at Chris with a smile, though he wouldn't know the true reason.

He stared at William baffled by his question and not sure if he meant to say exactly what he had. Frowning at the second year, he thought quietly to himself conveying his thoughts through his expressions and not a pinch of noise. I'm sure when she's tweaking out in the middle of the night and transformed into some creature; she probably put context clues together and realized what she was.
If looks could kill Cordova would have sliced William's body in pieces for asking such an awkward yet, simple question. He's pretending to be a Ravenclaw, he thought eyeing each Professors looking from each instructor and back towards William. He sighed once to himself and kept quiet despite the internal conflict erupting in his mind. Deciding to not pay attention to the conversation much, he toned out the assembly and reviewed his OWLs mentally. Troll, Dreadful, Exceeding Expectations……… | |

Demetri couldnt help but grin at the reaction that he was given. Her cheesing at him while she had a guy. A gryfindor at that. Funny how girls could be. Well some anyway. It was prejudice to think that every girl acted like this one. He knew that Demetria wasnt like that... or well... he hoped. Turning back to the front questions were being fired at the werewolf.. or rather.. girl. Demetri lstened without much interest.

William paled as he realized what exactly it was he had asked. Looking around he noticed Cordova the older boy he had once partnered up with look at him with a baffled expression. Que quivering lip and misting eyes. Oh no what had he just done? wishing he could get a time-turner go back five minutes and not ask the question he said "Um, on second thought never mind my question." in a slightly wavering voice as he continued to stare at Cordova. turning back around to the front he ducked his head, wishing he could pull his knees up to his chest and cry.

But then from the fifth year bench he watched Lena smile at some other guy. Forgetting for a moment how dumbfounded he was he became jealous maybe? Well not so jealous he wanted to go hurt the guy or anything. But then saw Lena turn back to him and smile. Well of course he smiled back duh. But then turned back to the Professor listening to the questions but also wonder how many people were freaking out right now that she was actaully a werewolf. Hmmmm???

Yup... Clifford's face said it all. Quote:

She really COULD have eaten him. Alessia's head spun and she glared at Ethan... How dare he... He was laughing at her. She swallowed. Ignore him. Quote:

WHAT?!
He put the chocolate frog nearer to his mouth and bit a LARGE chunk of it, chewing fast. Chewing fast to see if he was hallucinating at the moment, chocolate would calm him down riiiight away. He chewed like there was no tomorrow, chocolate easily sticking to his teeth. And then he swallowed.
Nothing at all CHANGED. He watched in horror and went into an uncomfortable state. A DEADLY professor--and it wasn't Bunzz OR Kazi. Ohhh what'd happen if he somewhat went into her office one day and she'd bite him?! ZOMGSCARY. He held on to his silver sickle, the professor could have changed soon and if she was going to break the cage with her own bare werewolf arms, he was going to try his best to stay alive.
Stay. Alive.
But before he looked like he was going to faint, he quickly scribbled on the piece of parchment, writing down just one sentence.
But... he always liked asking questions. Raising his hand, he asked, "Uuuuuuuuummmm..." he stalled, trying to think up of an interesting question, "when were you bitten? If you like, remember...?" He nibbled again on his chocolate frog, finally finishing it, though not before taking out another one to nibble hastily on. "I was nine years old... and trust me... it's not something you can forget." She said uncovering her shoulder. There is the flesh was ripped apart skin healed over. "The scar cannot be healed. It's a cursed wound." Quote:

So they were gonna see her transform eh? That was too cool, good thing he'd brought his wand with him. Just in case. She smiled at the little Andrus boy... "Well... not really." Quote:

He shrugged. Students were odd creatures. Kazimeriz raised a cool and seemingly indifferent eyebrow, reading Reynard's lips. Just friends? Hm. They would see about the veracity of that statement later.
He watched the other students and professors reacting -- there was a mix of shock, fear, and a somehow hungry interest that was downright disturbing. He crossed his arms, frowning... He did not like this; academics were all well and necessary to gain understanding and raise awareness, but he just did not approve of Alessia being turned into a common freak show spectacle. "Remember, this is a place of academics, not a sideshow. Act accordingly." he grumbled, eyeing Laughing Boy Truebridge in particular as he spoke.

Eyebrows raising as Lupa said that it wasn't as great as Cy figured, he nodded to the Professor. Bones breaking and regrowing? The first year let out an audible "Ouch." And shook his head accordingly.
Looking up at the enchanted ceiling, he waited for the moon to come into view.

With a low sigh, she shot a look towards Iliana. Had she known about this? Professor Morgan kept her gaze fixed on Alessia but patted Angela's hand briefly and smiled. She thought back to the first time she'd heard her best friend's secret. That had been easy... This was different. Harder. This took bravery. With that thought, Iliana gave Less a proud look and sat back, hoping she'd see it.

Oh good... another question. "Well, I take it just before the full moon." She turned around to see where the potion had been placed... Oh good. It was on a table by the cage. "I take it three days a month. The three days the moon is full. But really, when talking wolfsbane potion, I learned everything I know from Professor Kazimeriz. Why don't I let him talk about the potion, and I will be here to answer more questions..." She moved to the side and conjured up a chair by Marcus, letting the Potions Master take the podium.
