Aschere quietly released her billywig into the tank as the students gathered around the professor. She tried to catch the professor's eye and nod a goodbye before heading back to the castle.

After returning her billywig, Emily made a mental note to get right on that homework...after a detour to the kitchens of course

Time to leave?

Gold packed up her stuff, deposited her billywig in its proper tank, sneaked a look at Dylan, and then slung her cute, yellow bag over her shoulder. Even though she hadn't really needed it in this class, she was quite fond of it. Of the little bow on top of it, too.

"That was a really floaty lesson, professor," she said cheerfully, resisting the urge to hug her Head of House, as she left.

Nice lesson. Rawrrr!

Cela'd been flipping and spinning around, having more fun than she'd allowed herself to have all term. It was truly the most free she'd felt. Not as good as flying on Abraxans of course but there was something to be said about levitating like this. She couldn't control where she went so well and she found herself upside down with her nose to the ground a few times so Cela pushed off gently with her hands, giggling softly to herself.

Now what would be truly interesting would be to experiment and see how easy it was to kiss while floating about like this. In the interest of knowledge of course.

She licked her lips as she floated around, they felt a little dry, was that a side effect? The floating didn't last so long, not with only one sting and Cela floated gently to the ground like a balloon gradually losing helium.

"Professor?" Cela had to wave her hand around a bit from her spot now sitting on the ground, "I was wondering, Could a billywig sting have a medical use to take pressure off an injury? Like Gravity didn't much feel like it was pressing on me while I was floating, so if say, someone got hit by a boiling water curse and had burns all over their body, maybe controlled stinging might be a good idea?"

She stood up and brushed her skirt off then carefully helped return some Billywigs to their containers, stroking each one gently as she did so. Once she was done Cela copied the homework down and gave Professor MorganLawson another one of her thoughtful little looks.

Lucy had a great time during the lesson and felt sad they had to go, "Great lesson Professor, i enjoyed it a lot" she said and headed towards the common room to complete her homework.

Turning she walked back over to the Professor. Kay was wondering what is had done to have to come back. "Yes, Professor. Is something wrong?" She asked as she waited with the others.

"Yes a present. Like before," she answered. "Here you go, Dylan. Thanks for being such a good sport in class today. I can't imagine that swollen head look was something you were going for."


"Ivory, it was so nice to have you in my class today," she said with a very sincere smile. "I just wanted you to have this voucher for doing such a great job."


"You're not going to fall over are you?" she asked, laughing softly at the dizzy look in Arya eyes. "If your vision is doubled honey, grab the one in the middle," she teased, handing her a coupon.



"No ma'am," she answered. "I just wanted to give you something." She handed Kay a coupon and then added, "Have fun at Hogsmeade this weekend."


And look it!! She even got her name right! "Hey Destiny. I just wanted to give you something," she said, trying to hide the ridiculous smile that formed when she heard her CORRECT name for a change. "Did you have fun in class today?"


"You know Cela, that is a great question. I wonder if it wouldn't help alleviate all types of pain. A broken limb maybe or a nasty headache." She gave the Ravenclaw a thoughtful look for a moment and then asked, "Cela, have you considered what you're going to pursue as a career after leaving Hogwarts?" She tried to recall whether or not they had ever discussed it. She would make an amazing Healer!

"Here Cela. You deserve this," she said, handing out the last coupon she had on her. But who could down FREE?!

Lawson's comment caused more giggles to come from Arya as she tried to take the cupon from the professor. Failing at the first atempt, she took Lawson's advice and reached for the cupon that seemed to be in the middle, leting out a satisfied "Gotcha!" when it proved to be the real thing.

"Thank you Profesor!"She gave the woman a hug, swaying slightly, as she griped the coupon. She didn't atempt trying to see what it was for, she would wait til her vision cleared. Letting go she turned and went to her bags, skipping at first but switching to walking when she almost ran into another student."See ya latter Professor Lawson!" Giggling she walked of to the castle for a much needed snack.

"Oh, Thank you Professor Lawson." Kay said smiling to the coupon. "I will. See at the next class, and I will look that bird up." She said waving as she run to show Rex how well she had done.

Destiny had received a COUPON! Sweeet!

Holding the coupon up in the air, Destiny waved it around a bit, which caused her to miss the smile on the Professor's face. She was going to get that free butterbeer and she was going to get it right now! Well, not right now, but later on..like the weekend.

Did she have fun? 'YES!' she nodded her head. She wasn't even scared of the billywigs and she could totally celebrate her bravery with the coupon she just received! 'Billywigs are awesome!' she flailed a bit. She was so excited!

After making sure she had all her things, Destiny headed back towards the castle, still waving her coupon high above her head, 'Byeee Professor Morson!'

Oops.

Dylan chuckled, "Well not a literal swollen head. At least it wasn't squidgy. A water filled head isn't the most pleasant feeling." He took the voucher, "Thank you Professor."

Cela sighed. Another coupon, really? At least it was for the three broomsticks though right? And it didn't feel bad like the... other one. Still, she didn't really want to take it. She was clearly reluctant when she took it gingerly from the professor.

"Career?" Well. "If I'm allowed to have one, and that depends on who I marry, then I'd really, really, really like to work in experimental charms. Maybe with a medical slant possibly."

Eyeing the coupon thoughtfully, and flinching at a certain one being handed out to Destiny, Cela gave Professor MorganLawsonPerson a hesitant look.

"Professor? Would you happen to know... how many of those coupons are being given out?"

Professor Lawson had noticed strange looks coming from Cela all through class and now, when she expected her to be excited about FREE dessert, she hesistated. "Celandine, what's going on with you?" she asked quietly.

Upon hearing the girl's next comment, Iliana's hand moved to her tummy and she gave Cela a concerned look. "I hope you never let a man stand in the way of your dreams, dear. You have so much to offer the wizarding world."

Looking down at the coupon in Celandine's hand, she tilted her head and said, "I can't rightly say... I just grabbed a handful from the Staff Room myself. I never counted them and have no clue who else thought to share them with the students. Why do you ask?"

"I might not have a choice, professor." Celandine answered, jutting her chin out slightly. "But I'll run away first." Well, they would. Either way she couldn't wait until the day she could be with Copernicus properly.

She glanced down at the Professor's hand and then back up to her eyes.
"My brother just had a baby. Well, he didn't. But his name is Angelo. I have two nephews now."

Cela chewed on her bottom lip, wondering if she should say anything. Everyone thought she was crazy after all.

"It gives me bad feelings. Not all of them, just... one of them. Everyone thinks that I'm going crazy, professor."

Iliana screwed up her face after hearing what Cela had to say on the subject. "Why not, Cela?" she asked. "Is it your parents?" She couldn't understand how any parent could force such a thing on their child. Especially one so promising as Celandine Toussaint. Her hand stayed on her stomach in an almost protective stance.

Looking down at said hand, Iliana smiled and blushed. Well that explained the strange looks. "Is it that obvious?" she whispered. "It's still very early on, you know." And she was sure her heavy cloak covered up any evidence. "Congratulations on the nephews, by the way. I didn't even realize that you had a brother."

Stepping closer to the Ravenclaw, the professor bent down with a concerned look on her face and asked, "Which one, honey?" If she was intuitive as Iliana had always believed then maybe she could feel something others didn't. "You can tell me, you know. I won't think you're crazy."

Sidney is sad to see the class end. She enjoyed watching the other students' reactions to the billywig stings. If she was a braver person, Sidney might have tried it too, but my first sting was such a bad experience. I don't want to risk a second at least not now. Maybe if I can get my courage up, I might ask Professor Lawson about it. Sidney gathers up her things and goes over to say good-bye to the professor. She notices Professor Lawson handing out those coupons too. All the professors must being doing it. I wonder why? Must be some promotion for the shops in Hogsmeade. Right? Headmaster Tates has me so jumpy. I'm seeing dark objects where there aren't any. Of course the Ravenclaw Prefect's reaction to the one Professor Vindictius gave her in Flying class hasn't calmed my fears any.

"Yes professor. My parents. My uncle. My grandmother..." Cela trailed off. It was just the way of things. She was valuable as a commodity not as a person.

"Pregnancy is easy to See." Celandine answered, tipping her head to one side and giving the Professor a thoughtful look. "Its in your eyes, even when people don't know it themselves its there." Because that was an explanation. She made a little face. "I have four brothers, professor." Which probably meant lots of babies. Gosh.

"You won't? You promise?" Cela brightened at the idea. "Its... the butterbeer one. The Hogs head. Me and Daphne? My friend? She's in your house, we used to go to... dance lessons at the Hogs head, so it isn't just that its not the nicest pub or anything. But lately... this term... I can't go in there. Something bad is there. Or someone. And it has to do with the coupon." Celandine hesitated. "And maybe something to do with our new headmaster and Defense teacher being here and with.... Truebridge not."

Cela took a breath and let her eyes trail over the professor's stomach. Nothing was visible, not under the heavy robes anyway.

"I burned one coupon and made another one turn into confetti. I couldn't help it."

Celandine gave her professor one last silent, unfathomable look and packed up the rest of her things. "Thanks for listening professor."

And... then she was gone.
