CoMC Lesson 1 :: Billywigs
 

As you walk down to the grounds you see a warm, open fire, surrounded by wooden seats. Iliana is standing nearby with a large, covered object behind her on a wooden table.

Though the sun is shining brightly, there is an icy chill in the air. Pulling her cloak around her, the professor smiles and waits for the students to arrive. "Come over and find a seat everyone. Class will be starting in just a moment."

Kiri sniffed. Where these sudden colds came from, she would never know. Just yesterday, she'd been completely healthy. She'd even taken her broom and joined the rest of the school on the Quidditch Pitch which was open... for... flying...

Perhaps not wearing a scarf hadn't been the smartest idea, now that she came to think of it.
The cold winter winds would turn your lungs inside out - and give you frostbites on your toes for good measure.

This time, however, Kiri was equipped more sensibly. Trudging down the path in the direction of Professor Lawson's hut, she wore heavy dragon-hide gloves (as instructed!), a large black robe fit for an Antarctic winter (old too, just in case today's creature turned out to be of the dangerous and/or fire-breathing variety) and a scarf (displaying Slytherin green and silver). That last item she'd slung around her neck three times.

"'ello, Professor," Kiri said, a little indistinctly through her stuffy nose, prodding one of the seats closer to the fire and sitting down.

Fire.

Wood.

Hmmmm...

With his dragonhide gloves tucked into his back pocket, Jake strolled down to the area for this class, wishing he'd brought his cloak. Finding a seat close to Professor Lawson, and not tooooo close to the fire, Jake smiled at her.

"Hi," he said softly, staring into the flames.

Fire.

Wood.

Hmmmm.

When Reese spotted the warm fire, a large smile formed on her face. At least that would keep them somewhat warm during the class. She stuck her hands inside her robe pockets as she walked over to one of the wooden seats. "Good day, Professor," she greeted the woman before taking a seat.

Pierre wandered down to CoMC. He really didn't like this class and was absolutely dreadful at it, but his father told him that he had to take it. He nodded and said, "Hello Professor." He went and found a seat. He really was dreading this class.

Noooo! Destiny did not want to be here, not at all.

Magical Creature were scary. Oh, she remembered the classes from last term, and they were not fun.

The fire was welcoming though, so she decided to stay. She took a seat furthest away from whatever was on that table. It was, most likely, dangerous. 'Hellooo Professor..Morgan.' She would not call her Lawson, noooo way.

Lucy walked down to the grounds to her first CoMC lesson. She was really excited because this was probably one her favorite classes. She took a seat and bathed in the glow of the fire. "Hello Professor!" She said excitedly, and waited for the lesson to begin.

Kay walked down the ground to where class was going to be. She saw the Professor standing there and then look to the side of her. There was somethng covered and she wondered what it could be. Looking at who was already there, Kay moved to the other side of the sitting. Looking at the Professor again, she smiled. "Hello Professor Lawson, How are you?" Kay said as she took a sit. She pulled her cloak around her and hoped some of her friends come to class.

Miranda was clad in all the sweaters she could find in her unorganized trunk, and with her mittens, hat and thick scarf, she almost wobbled down to the little class area and was happy to see the fire all warm and nice. "Hello Professor!" She raised her arm, making her have to stretch out her right side of the body along with it.

And with that, she hopped over to take a seat on the wooden bench, placing her sidebag between her feet.

Magical Creatures lesson in something different set up. Vida made her way to the front, "Good day, Professor!" she smiled at her and took a comfortable seat in the front row. May be a lesson about Unicorns? Who knows?!

"Hello Kiri," she greeted the Slytherin prefect. "Feeling a bit under the weather today dear?"
"Good afternoon, Carter," she said, smiling brightly.
"Afternoon Jake," she said. "Not too cold for you I hope. You had that awful cough last time I saw you."
"Hey Brody," she replied. "Cute shoes." She laughed quietly and then glanced down at her own footwear. Yeah, who was she to talk?
"Good afternoon, Miss Upstead. There's plenty of seats still available," she said, wondering why she wasn't sitting closer to her little brother.
"Hello!" she said brightly.
"Good afternoon, Sylvia."
Iliana raised an eyebrow at Destiny and cleared her throat. "It's Professor Lawson now dear. Good to see you."
"Good afternoon, Lucy!" she said, happy to see an actual smile in return for a change.
"Hello, Ivory," she said. "It's good to see you."
Hello Kay, I'm doing great," she answered. "Thank you so much for asking." Ahh! A kid with manners. Always nice to see.
"Afternoon Miranda," she said. "And congrats on making Captain."
"Good afternoon!" she said, with a smile.

Nicoletta took a seat, drawing her scarf tighter around her neck. "Hello Professor." she greeted.

"S'fine," Jake replied, making a conscious effort not to shivver. Peh... last time. "Wuhhh-well... haven't bbbeen thrown in he luhhh-lake since then," he shrugged, stretching out a little and ignoring the fact that Reese was here.

She was so mean, shouting at him and storming off like that.

Kiri nodded. "Definitely outmatched," she muttered, moving the wooden seat even closer to the fire. If it had been snowing, she was sure she'd be steaming now.

She eyed the object on the professor's table with mild curiosity. So it wouldn't be another giant creature. No dragon. Good. They already had a fire, after all, and if the thing on the table was smaller, Kiri had a chance of scaring it off with an explosive sneeze if it got too close.

More students were arriving now, so the lesson would probably start soon. Kiri pulled off her gloves to warm her hands up. Rubbing her red nose reflectively (producing a squish-squish sound), she waited for Professor Lawson to reveal what was hidden on the table. The wait was punctuated by an occasional sniffle.

Nymphy took his seat and got out parchment and quill. He was posed to learn!!!

"Hello Professor! I'm Nymphy. How are you today?" he asked, shaking her hand.

Oh, aw, Miranda smiled shyly. "Thankyou, miss...or mrs- eh," Uh, oh, eh, what- "I mean Mrs. Lawson. Hehe." Because she got married, right? "Congratulations on your wedding!" Miranda grinned. Aw.

Gloved hands and all, she stretched them out towards the fire. Aaah, warmness!

Bella walked down to her first Care Of Magical lesson that year, she was looking forward to it, and a little nervous. As she got closer to the class she noticed loads of students already waiting for it to begin. At least she wasn't late, smiling lightly she joined the end of the bunch of students, looking round in awe.

"Hey Professor" She called to her from her spot at the back of the class.

Aw..she was so sweet, right? Vida flashed her famous smile as a response and looking forward for the lesson. Show and teach us something different and Unique, Professor. Vida's impatient as usual, it's like her childhood problem. Hehe..

Pierre was completly taken aback by the Professor's cheerfulness. He nodded his head again. He turned towards the fire. It was starting to get really chilly out and he was really angry at himself for not wearing gloves, hat, or a scarf.
