"Have an espresso. It's like pure caffeine," Dylan smiled. "You will feel the buzz almost instantly. Fantastic really." He had pulled all night rehearsals on shots of espresso.

Evan nodded and smiled back. He would meet her. If only he could figure where her office was... maybe he could help her to clean up after class to earn some house points which Slytherin severely needed for she looked a little bit tired, then he could follow her to her office. Yep, it sounded like a good idea.

He then grinned at Marie who wanted to give it a try too. It was a really good feeling. Almost as well as football.

Being the neat freak, Annie couldn't stand seeing all this mess and chaos.

"Excuse me," She asked her teacher. "But do you need any help tidying up, as its....slightly chaotic hear." She laughed.

Marie stood there waiting for what was to come once she had been stung. She was beginning to think nothing was going to happen when all of a sudden her feet started to leave the ground. A little startled by this she reached out to grab the professor but missed. She was floating only a few inches up but it felt like more than that.

Getting use to the feeling of being in the air without a broom she decided to have some fun with it. Using her arms like wings she tried to fly like a bird. This worked a little but she still did not get very high off the ground. She continued flapping her arms causing herself to go higher and higher. Weeeeee, she was flying and didn't have to worry about falling off her broom.

Suddenly she got the giggles as she did a front flip. Haha, "this is so much fun" she yelled in between giggling. She did a few more front flips before she realized the ground was getting closer to her. Whoa, this was not going to be good. Not knowing how to stop from falling she flapped her arms some more hoping that would help, which it didn't.

THUD, she fell to the ground right on her bottom. "Ow" she said a little louder than she expected. She stood up and rubbed her bottom a little trying to make the pain go away. So much for not falling. "Well that was fun" she told the professor "until the ground got in the way that is."

She walked over to Evan and asked "So, you ready to fly on a broom yet?" Maybe she would be able to get him on one eventually now that he knew how much fun it was to fly.

Having been brushing herself off since she landed, Sarah strained an ear to hear the arguement that was going on off to the side.People were picking on Jake? On a Hufflepuff?! Grrrrrrr.Taking a deep breath, she just about managed to stop herself from going over and butting in.No, Professor Lawson was handling it, it is her class, she will not interfere.But so help them if she catches them doing it anywhere else in the castle.No-one picks on her Badgers.

Clearing her throat, Sarah walked over to the tired looking Mrs Lawson and smiled. "Would you like some help after class putting them all away, Professor?" Sarah asked, gesturing to the billywig tank.She'd be happy to, as it meant she could stay in the fresh air for longer.Plus Professor Lawson did look awfully tired.

Slowly their impromptu tango dance dwindled to just silly floating movements and sadly eventually even that subsided.

Ivory could not resist a pout as slowly the effect of the Mr.Billwig's sting wore off.

But that didn't stop the giggles of course.

The floating was still in effect for one of her feet so the result was a ridicules looking pose where one foot was planted firmly on the ground and the other was floating haphazardly in the air next to her.

"Look, look! I'm a flamingo!"

By now of course most of the giddyness had passed and sadly this was normal eleven year old behavior.

It wasn't unitl the effects of Wiggy's sting wore off that she realized she was no longer air born. Her giggles had subsided somewhat as she let go of Ivory and spun dizzy circles, her eyes looking up at the sky.


"Your a flamingo! Can you fly madam flamingo?"She giggled as she spun ever so close to Ivory.

"Thanks Dylan. I'll have the house-elves bring some out," she said. She was almost ready to invite him to join her when she remembered she really wouldn't be having any coffee that day. Oh well. Naps were just as effective.
"No thank you, girls. I'm well equipped," she said, holding up her wand. "Besides, Mr. Masterson usually leans a helping hand." And it was the one true time they got to chat without being interrupted.

...

Professor Lawson looked around (and up) to make sure that she didn't have anymore floating children present. When it was plain that things were relatively back to normal, she stood up from her stool and addressed the class.

"That brings us to the end of today's lesson. I hope you all really enjoyed yourself. For those of you still holding your billywig, don't forget to deposit them into the tank before you go."

"Now that you've hand a very hands-on experience during class, your homework, will require just a bit of research. The following assignment will cover topics we did NOT go over in class."

"Thank you all for coming. Class dismissed."

Narrowing her eyes at her friend in disbelief, she shook her head and moved back to closing up her bag. The billywig was nice and safe, warm, had breathable air, and she could totally use him later for her her purposes! WOOT!

Smiling, she stood up and patted her sleeve in satisfaction, glancing at her bag for a moment, before moving away from it when Destiny asked what she was doing with it. "Nothing." she mumbled, crossing her arms and raising a brow. "I was looking for something. And I obviously don't have it in there."

Didn't Destiny...know...that her Billywig didn't really fly away? 'Please tell me she knows that...' Evelyn thought, looking around before smiling at Destiny, aaand class was over! Time to get out before she had to be stuck looking for something that wasn't missing. "Let's go..."

Nicoletta quickly copied down the homework and grabbed her bag. "Thank you Professor." she said dully and set off to the common room.

Kay started picking up her things and putting them into her bag. Grabbing a Quill she wrote the homework down and put it into her bag as well. Picking it up Kay looked at the professor. "Thanks for a great class Professor Lawson. Have a great day." She smiled and waved as she started walking back to the castle.

Dylan smiled, "Good. Because, remember. Hulk is not a good look for you." Espresso, though, is your friend. He hadn't had any in a while. He hadn't had an all nighter to do in a while. Maybe when exams come by.

Chris walked up to the front of the class to satnd by the Professor. "The lesson was great Professor Lawson, I really enjoyed it! See you later!" and with a smile he turned and began to head back to the castle.

'Maybe you left it in the dorms..' Whatever it was. It must not have been that important if she would forget about it.

Class dismissed! Wooot! Destiny looked down at the little billywig. She wanted to keep him, but he probably had a family and little baby billywigs that he needed to take care of. She didn't want the babies to be fatherless!

Walking up to the tank, Destiny gently dropped the billywig in. But he was still sleeping. 'Oops, I didn't unfreeze him.' Now his family members were going to think he was dead and they were all going to sting her! Before they had a chance to attack, she walked back over to her bag and threw her gloves into it. 'Right, let's go.' she told Evelyn. The billywigs were gonna get her!

'Byeeee, Professor Mor..son..' Seriously, Destiny will get it right eventually.

Writing down the homework quickly, actually a little too quickly since she had a hard time reading her handwriting, Evelyn packed everything up again and stood up, slinging her bag onto her shoulder. Oh, right, she almost forgot the billywig that Josh kindly let her 'borrow'. It was...somewhere...

Oh...nooo...

She actually did lose a billywig. Clearing her throat, she looked around the area they were at, barely hearing Destiny agree with her that they should go, trying to look as if she lost her quill or something. Except, yea a quill wouldn't be high up in the trees or in the air..."Right yea. Go go go..."

Oh well. The billywig would be able to survive out in the 'wild' right? Lots of other of those blue bug things did everyday didn't they?....right?

Argh!! The forgetfulness! Iliana had specifically brought down some Hogsmeade coupons with her to pass out. Darn it! Maybe if she was quick, she could catch them before they all left out of ear shot.

Spotting some of the students hanging back, she raised her hand at them and said, "Kay... Dylan... Destiny... Ivory... Ayra... Nicoletta...Evelyn." Oh yea, Evelyn for sure. Where did she think she was going anyways? Pfft! "Guys come back over here. I have something for you."

AW. No more class? Tibi sat up from the ground, and trudged over to his bag to write down the homework. Absentmindedly rubbing the spot where he'd been stung, he packed up his things before turning to Professor Lawson.

"Great lesson. Thanks," he said, smiling.

Now... what had she said about asking Jake....

Tibi shouldered his bag and went off in search of his friend.

Dylan frowned, as his name was called. "Yeah Professor?" he stopped and turned around. What did she want? Something for him? "Oooo is it a present?" He liked presents. If it was a car he would be over the moon.

After the demonstration, Jack quickly wrote down the homework and plopped all his things into his bad. "Peace out, Professor Morgan!" he said with a grin as he turned to head back to the castle.

Arya was still spinging when Professor Lawson called her name. With a big grin on her face she slowly made her way over to the woman, still dizzy from spining.

She nearly bumped into the professor, catching herself ant the last minute she giggled and looked up to the woman,"Yes Professor Lawson?" This moment seemed vaguely familiar to her, then she remembered the male Lawson had called her up after class as well.

Evelyn cringed at the sound of her name being called out. Gah! So clooose! Just...so close. Stopping in mid step, she fiddled with the strap of her bag before sighing and hanging her head. 'I don't wanna stay...'

Turning around, glancing at Destiny for a moment, confused on why her name was being called, along with all those other people, she trudged back over to the professor and stood in front of her. Well, not exactly in front, more like ten or fifteen feet away...

Evan wrote down his homework quickly and turned to answer to Marie. "I'll visit professor now." he said in a suddenly sad voice. He really wanted to go with Marie, they couldn't have much time alone. But he also told the professor he'd see her after class. And he had to. "I'll come and find you afterwards, okay?" he said and wanted to give her a kiss on cheek but this was a 'classroom'. Not a good idea. Instead, he waved and followed professor.

He stood a few steps away from her, waiting for her to finish her job with the students so that he could learn the way to her office. He soo should have wandered around the grounds more.

Marie suddenly felt saddness when Evan said he was staying behind with the professor. Hearing him say he would come find her later though brought a smile to her face. "Oh okay, I'll just go get started on my homework. I'll see you later." She smiled and gave him a little wink then turned to write down the homework assignment.

"Have a great afternoon Professor" she said as she started back to the castle. She turned and gave Evan one last smile before leaving. Pretending to be just friends was harder than she thought it would be.

Oh no!

Destiny was going to get in trouble for calling the Professor her wrong name. Now she was going to have to stay back and help Evelyn look for that darn billywig.. Annnnd, she just realized Evelyn was trying to escape anyway! Sneaky, sneaky.

Slinging her bag over her shoulder, Destiny walked over to the Professor, 'Yes Professor..Lawson?'

Got it! But She still didn't like it.

Turning around as she heard her name called, Ivory skipped up to the professor.

"Yes Professor?" she asked smiling widely at her new favorite.
