Alex glared at.. whatever his name is, "Professor .. Person I have asked questions to all three previous Professors not just one, and fine.. Here's a question Why is the Trojan War so important?" Alex asked sarsatically, her head felt like it was pounding and all she wanted to do was find a nice place and read not listen to some hot headed Gryffindor she wanted to laugh hysterically at.

Gold raised her hand, again. "The most accepted cause, I think, sir," she said. "Or the most discussed, at any rate. Could that be because it actually stays true to the 'stolen wife' theory, but adds a twist of its own? I've seen that people like to discuss the Greek gods and goddesses, for some reason." Personally, Gold found the lives of them Greek god people, pretty messy and dramatic. She wouldn't want to be one, at any rate!

Wait.

Did Patroclus just... wink at her?

Gold blinked.

Blink.

"But I want to knowwww, sir!" She waved her hand in the air, jumping up and down. "PLEASE, sir? PRETTYYY pleaaaase?"

Cue wiiiide-eyed look.

Two words: Too serious.

This was starting to sound like a real class - and Gold, who now only wanted to have fun, decided that it was time to return to her position as DA Disruptive Student. She gave Professor Hudson a big-eyed look and then, green eyes huuuge, waved a hand in the air,

"Can we talk about Ajax, King of Salamis, Professah siiirrr? I know he is said to have met Hectōr of Troy in a duel that had no conclusive victor or defeated, but what really matters is that Ajax was hot, Professah! Can we talk about him, oh please, oh please, oh pleeeaaase?"

Gold clasped her hands, and looked every variety of cute.

Then she POUTED.

"Professor? I really want to go next if I may. Also, she--" he pointed at Destiny --"is negatively effecting my learning experience in this class with her comments about Dementors and her disrespect of you. Please make her stop?" And dock her a zillion house points. Yeah. Because she deserves it, the big snake bully. He glared at Destiny and Marie, too.

EliEliEliii.

Gold tore a page out of her notebook, dipped her quill in PINK! ink, and drew something on it. Then, leaning forward, she slipped the note to ze awesome, huggg'able Ravenclaw that was Eli.

"Hey!" she whiperrredddddd, as she did.

Her green eyes were still wiiiide.

WOOOT!

So it WAS the Bronze Age. Weird name for a time period. What was THERE time period called anyways? Like...nowadays...

Eh, well. Didn't really matter. What did matter though was what Patroclus was saying. And what he was saying, she had no clue on. She pretty much only knew that the Truman War or whatever it was called...was during the Bronze Age.

Which was pretty good if anyone asked her.

And her mood was good too until purple head spoke up. Really? Just...really. "Professor Patroclus!" she said, raising her hand and waving it about before pointing at the purple head. "His useless comments about how Destiny is effecting his learning experience is effecting MY learning experience." Pfft. "AND he's breathing my air..."

He should just, stop breathing. Or leave the room! So he didn't breathe EVERYONE'S air...

Uh-huh.

Destiny must have misunderstood what Professor Patroclus had said. She SWORE he called it the Taffy War! It must have been the Turtle War instead, that was why earlier he was doing that turtle dance on his back!

Gah!! He was preparing them all for his lesson, and she didn't even notice! She mentally slapped herself for her ignorance. "Soo..this Turtle War..did they fight NINJA style?"

Annnnnnd..

"Can we act it out!?"

Destiny could be a ninja!

What the!?

Purple Headed Freak was starting trouble, was he? Destiny wanted to pick up a bean bag and slap him across the face with it. She even looked around the class for an empty bean bag, but they all seemed to be occupied.

Crud!

Slowly, Destiny turned to glaaaaaare at the boy before raising her hand and pointing to said freak boy, "Lawson!" she called, since he was the adult, even if he wasn't acting like it at the moment. "Can we please do something about this boy? His PURPLE hair is effecting my learning experience. Maybe we can we put a paper bag over his head, so he won't be such a distraction?"

The boy was soooo gunna get it.

After class, of course.

He felt Gold pass a note and opened it, holding it low so as not to be noticed by Lawson. It was obviously a code... She meant to say she'd black the eye of the slytherin bullies if they kept it up. He was glad to know she had his back, and smiled at her, nodding a little.

With Gold's obvious support, Eli looked at Lawson, ignoring the Slytherin girls. "My concern was legitimate; I'm trying to learn about Muggles and her comments are distracting from that. And now they are being bullies, and trying to bait me into losing points for Ravenclaw, sir. Shouldn't the older students be a better example in class?" He glared at them. She snake bullies! And it was EVERYONE'S air. And his purple hair was not of his choosing.

Noooo!

Gold was pretty sure she was supposed to do something Prefect-y, here. Pretty sure. She decided, instead, to wave her hand in the air. "Professor Hudson, siiirrr! Do you like the colour PINK!, sir?"

Hearing Destiny's comment about the paper bag, her eyes narrowed for a moment. This class was supposed to be fun, you know? Her green gaze flickered towards Eli and the Slytherins. In case, you know, they had decided to throw chocolate at each other, or something of that kind.

"Calm down, guys," she said, quietly.

Eli shot her a look. He was being calm! Besides, they had started it! Sort of. And they were the ones being bullies. He was just trying to CONCENTRATE in class.

"I am calm." he whispered. "I was just pointing out that they are being disruptive. They are the ones being snakefaced bullies."

Marcus stopped in his tracks and stared at Marie, "Since when do you do anything that I tell you to?" He moved back from her because she looked like she was about to scream bloody murder if he got any closer to her. "I don't have any chocolate left" he added.

Which was a lie but he was not sharing his chocolate.

Nope.

And then it happened again.

The class was in total chaos.

He decided to ignore Destiny's comment about the dementor because that would only give her more ammunition to start on him.

Standing up, Axe placed his hands on his hips and then stomped his foot much like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Stop it. For the love of Merlin are you trying to break the world record for the most arguments in one class?"

He was tempted to start pulling his hair out but he was already starting to thin out at the top and he wasn't ready to go bald any time soon.

Marcus turned to look at the source of the arguments and his eyes rested on the first year Ravenclaw. "Listen here purple hair." He had totally forgotten the kids name, "You can give your speech after Evelyn. And please you are a fine person to talk about disrespecting me. Aren't you the same kid that stole a hammer from my last class?"

He folded his arms across his chest and kept his eyes on the boy, "Destiny I am not deaf there is no need for you to yell." Only he was allowed to do that.

"Now I suggest you all work this out between yourselves quickly and with maturity and then I would appreciate it if you would all give Patroclus your full attention otherwise there is going to be a mass detention. GOT IT?"

Calm down? She WAS calm. She was just having a little fun, and speaking part of the truth. Purple Head WAS breathing her air, and his annoying comments were annoying.

And she was juuuuust about to tell that to Gold too...

...But Purple Head was being annoying again. "You shouldn't whisper in class when the Professor is trying to teach." she whispered loudly to the Ravenclaw. Mmhmm. She was being a good 'older' student.

...

Pfft Bahahahaha! "Right, Professor." she mumbled quietly, sitting back in her bean chair thing. Listen to Lawson! Yush! Now, to be quiet.

Patroclus watched wide eyed as the class descended into chaos. It was possible his fault, due to his hard subject matter, but he couldn't help what he loved, and often got lost in his own head when it came to history.

Seeing as Lawson was unable to interveen, as he was for all intents and purposes a student it was up to Professor Hudson.

"O.K. class we all need to respect each other. Purple hair'd boy, there is no need to point finger's and for all you know Marcus may be a dementor. Evelyn and Destiny be the good girls you are, and ignore him." - PAPER BALL- "And Mr. Blunt could we please refrain for throwing things." Patroclus hoped he had handled that well.

"Miss Laksh, I will admit i don't mind the colour pink, and I shall tell the TurtleDance story if we have time, but now we are going to skip the Who's When's and Why's and go to the How!" Patroclus quickly thought up a fun new direction for the class.
"Who can tell me how the Trojan War was won?"

Everything that was being said about thier new subject with the new professor and the new subject was going in one of the little puffs ear and out the other. She was just to hyped up on suger to process all the information.

Slowly she was working her way through a bag of Bott Beans when it seemed more cayos was breaking out in the classroom. And she was loving it! Such entertainment it was for the young child. Rocking on her bean bag, she popped beans into her mouth while watching the three students argue....sorta.

Even though they were doing it in a non conventional way, it was still an argument. Arya was rooting for purple-haired boy for no other reason except that one of the students he was arguing with was Destiny. Such a pain she could be all the times. The other snake wasn't so bad, but sadly she was guilty by association.

Alex guessed randomly, "Some dude fought some dude and then they like fought his army and now they like won the fight." Alex told him after raising her hand, History was her worst subject.

What in the world!?

Destiny once again glaaaaared at the Purple Headed Freak. He wouldn't have heard about the dementors if he wasn't eavesdropping on her conversation! She was going to tell him this too, but Gold spoke up. Calm down!? Destiny was as calm as she could be! Sure her face might have gotten a little red, but other than that, she was caaaaaalm. She was going to tell the Prefect this but Lawson spoke up.

And he was having a mini tantrum!

Soon, the man was going to start pulling out his hair!

And..BAHAHAHAHA!! Lawson TOTALLY called the boy Purple Hair. He must be spending too much time around the She-Snakes for he was starting to think like them. And in your face Purple Hair. He just got outted about the hammer! Destiny would have pointed and laughed at the boy, but Lawson turned on her. She was going to tell him that she never called him deaf, but then he went on to THREATEN them all with detention!

Opening her mouth to tell Lawson how he wouldn't dare do that, Professor Patroclus started to speak. And thank Merlin he had asked a question that she knew! She raised her hand and waved it all about, "The war was won when all the bad guys DIED!"

She was smart.

Gold had been about to remind Eli what she had told him about stereotypes, that they are born from prejudice and reflect a lack of knowledge, but she got no time. Because Evelyn had leaned forward to make a comment, before Gold could so much as open her mouth to speak, and Gold crossed her arms, deciding that she was done defending Slytherins.

Or maybe not. Some of the people she loved most were Slytherins. Ravenator, and Dylan, and Marie.

She couldn't not defend them.

Thankfully, it looked like Professor Lawson had things under control. She turned to Eli. "Forget them," she said, quietly. She didn't like how everyone was tossing the term "Purple-Haired Boy" around. There was no need to get personal. "Let's have fun, alright?" She patted his arm, before raising a hand, to answer Professor Hudson's question.

"With the help of the Trojan Horse," she said, her voice still quiet. "Odysseus suggested a giant, hollow wooden horse. It was filled with soldiers, and the Trojans took it in, because they didn't realize it was a ruse. The Greek soldiers spilled out, when they found that the coast was clear, and caused great destruction. They torched Troy, and Helen - now Helen of Troy - was reunited with her husband, Menelaus."

Her green gaze flickered back to EliEliEliii. "You haven't replied to my note," she whispered.

Marie was finally catching her breath when Lawson started talking to her again.

What!

She always did what he told her to do. Okay, so maybe that is stretching the truth juuuust a little, but she did always listen to him. "I always do what you tell me to do since our little chat after the last class." she said. Then leaning back over towards him she whispered so only he could hear, "You know, when you cried on my shoulder." Okay, so maybe he didn't actually cry on her shoulder, but she did see a tear roll down his face.

"Come on, I KNOW you have chocolate." Oh yeah and she even knows where he hides it. Yep, she would just go take it after class if she had to. It was either that or he was getting a new haircut... with that saw she was still sitting on.

Yep, she has a saw and she isn't afraid to use it.

Holy Merlin in polka dot swim trunks.

Lawson has gone crazy... again. Maybe Marie wouldn't need to give him that hair cut after all. It looked like he was about ready to just pull his own hair out.

Marie about fell over laughing when Lawson came unglued on Purple Hair. The hammer thief just got told off...bwahahaha.

Pullling on Lawson's robes once he finally stopped yelling at the class... which she knew she was not one he was yellinlg at since she had just been about to pass out from lack of oxygen, she whispered to him, "Professor, do you want me to get you a calming draught some more chocolate? I can go to your office and get it for you." And then she could eat some of it herself on the way back.

Then she wouldn't have to cut his hair with the saw.

Eli's eyes filled with tears and he turned crimson. The professor just made fun of his horrible purple hair! He totally sided with the Slytherin girls, and made FUN of him. In front of everybody. In front of Gold.

Professor Lawson was just as big a bully as the Slytherin girls. No wonder they loved him.

And he didn't steal the hammer. He had borrowed it because he was scared of the Slytherin bullies. He had no desire to keep some rotten muggle tool, but they had been threatening him in his last class with the other muggle tools, and he wasn't good with his wand. Didn't the professor care about that? Apparently not.

It just wasn't fair. And he had made fun of his hair. Eli was humilitated to the core.

"I-i don't want to go next anymore." he whispered. Two tears tracked down his cheeks, and he wiped them away, sniffling. He sat with his head down, staring at his desk. He wished he had skived off the class. He wished he could leave now, but the professor would probably give him detention. He'd probably take extra points off for his purple hair.

He rubbed his nose, trying really hard to stop crying. He'd probably make fun of him for that, too.

Mean old professor Lawson.

Glare!

GLARE!!

Marcus was tempted to pull his wand out right now and 'Obliviate' Marie into the middle of next week. She seriously did not just say that he had been crying on her shoulder.

Here.

In class.

Okay so he may have shed one little tear but that was only because the girls had been bawling and snotting all over his robes and begging him not to leave. How would she like it if he announced that to the whole class?

Which he was really tempted to do right now.

"I did not cry on your shoulder" he whispered back.

And she expected to him to give her chocolate after what she just said.

Nuh uh.

No freakin way.

Two seconds ago she was trying in vain to get away from him and now she was tugging on his robes. He was never going to understand females...ever.

"No. You stay away from my chocolate Marie. If anyone is going to get it's going to be -"

And then the purple haired kid started to cry.

Crap!

CRAP!!

Oh man. If there was one thing Marcus hated most in the world it as seeing females cry. But coming in a close second was seeing young children cry and all because of something he had said.

And if the kid thought he felt bad right now. Marcus felt a hundred times worse.

He wasn't intentionally mean, he just often said things without thinking about the implications first.

Which was one of the reasons he was leaving. He totally sucked as a Professor. Well he was going to fix this right now before he lost the chance to.

Standing back up, Marcus pointed at...

Damn it, what was the kid's name?

Eli. That was it.

"Okay Eli, Destiny, Evelyn and Marie my office right now." He turned to look at Patroclus. "My apologies Professor Hudson, this shouldn't take very long. You are doing an excellent job by the way, please keep it up."

Marcus then looked at Gold, "Miss Laksh as Prefect I am leaving you in charge of the class until I get back. If you have any problems then please come and get me straight away. I will be in my office."

He gestured with his hands for the four students to follow him.

And now he was in trouble, too? For what? The professor was going to let the Slytherin bullies have at him, with no witnesses. He knew it. And then he'd probably mock him for his hair some more. He gave Gold a desperate glance. He hadn't responded to her note, but he hadn't known what to say. Now he did. He grabbed his quill and jotted a quick reply on the back of it, handing it to her as he passed her.



He rose from his seat and slunk out of the classroom quietly, with his head down and shoulders slumped. He went to the professor's office as required.

As she waited for Professor Patroclus to tell her how good of an answer she gave, Destiny glanced around the room with a wide grin. This was probably one of the BEST classes this term, and she didn't want it to end.

Not just because it was a fun lesson, but she knew it was Lawson's last. She wanted this class to last as long as possible.

She stopped glancing around and the grin faltered as she saw the Purple Headed Freak crying! What was he playing at? He was TOTALLY faking to get sympathy from everyone. The Purple Headed Freak should be sitting in the corner with a BIG ole' DUNCE hat on. Scoffing at his antics, she crossed her arms and looked back at Professor Patroclus.

Tell her how right she is already!!!



Destiny wondered, since this WAS muggle studies class, if she could pull out some paper and paint and draw the boy a DUNCE hat. The way he was acting, she figured he would need an extra large hat. Plus, the bigger the hat, the more of his face it would cover.

Less of a distraction.

Hearing her name, she looked up to see Lawson standing up and he was pointing.. Haha! She was right! Lawson wasn't allowed to have one of those snazzy pointing sticks because he would have definitely poked her in the eye with it. "What did I do!?" she asked, her voice a little higher than normal. "I want to hear about the Turtle War!" This boy..making her miss learning about the Turtle War..he was soooo going on The List now! Uncrossing her arms, she pushed off the sofa, and followed behind the Purple Head out of the classroom.

Mwaha!

IF Lawson walked into his office first, Destiny could totally clobber the boy in that Purple Head of his.

Marie was about to hide under a bean bag chair when Lawson started to glare at her. What the heck was that look for? All she did was offer to go get him some chocolate... which she now knew he had since he said he would be the one going to get it.

Oh, that, hehe. "Okay, so you didn't cry, but a tear did escape, I totally saw it. Admit it, we got to you." she whispered back. And she would do it again if she had to. She was a girl, she wasn't afraid to use tears to get her way.

WHY did she have to go to his office too? She didn't do anything to make the little freak cry. She only made Lawson cry... a tear... that wasn't today. This was NOT fair. "But I didn't make him cry, you di..." Yeah, she better stop right there before she gets herself in more trouble. That boy was so going to get it if she lost any points or got detention just because he cried in class. The big baby.

Just as she was about to get up she remembered the saw she was sitting on. Crap. What was she gonig to do with that now? Looking around she quickly slid it under the bean bag chair that was next to her. You know, the one Lawson had been sitting in. And it better be there when she got back.

She had a haircut to give.

She followed Lawson out to his office. Ooh, his office, maybe he wanted to share his chocolate with them and didn't want the rest of the class to know. Maybe this little excursion during class would be worth it.

Maybe.

SPOILER!!: WOAH what just happened?

Patroclus could do noting but watch wide-eyed as the Real Professor dealt with the weeping Purple headed boy, Patroclus racked his memory to see if he knew his name, but surmised that it was Eli, as he was sure it was not Destiny, Evelyn or Marie.
“Take all the time you need Axe...I mean Sir” Mwahahah Power trip!

“And Destiny yes, lots of people died, but we can’t say one side was good and one was evil.” He smiled at the Slytherin as she stood to leave, “I can tell you all about the Turtle Wars another!” Sure he was talking about the Trojan War, but he thought he could make up something funny about the Turtle Wars too.

Turning Back the remaining class Patroclus acknowledge he other answers.
“Alex I think it is? That could be seen as a very simple explanation, but yes it is true.” Patroclus sighed a little put off by the first year’s lack of enthusiasm.
But once again it was Gold to the rescue!
“Ten points for Gryffindor Miss Laksh, I am very impressed with your knowledge of the Trojan War.” Turning to the rest of the class, the Lion continued, “As detailed by Gold, The Greeks, or Achaeans as they were known at the Time, smuggled their way into the City of Troy in the bowels of a Wooden Horse, the symbol of the Sea God Poseidon, a Trojan favored deity. In the dead of night they issued from the horse, and in a rage of steal and fire ended the 10 year War!”

Patroclus hoped he was still engaging the small percentage of the class he started with! “Now I have to option we can do! ONE I think it would be fun if with the use of the bean bags as a mat, we try building a human Trojan Horse, or TWO using the bean bags we stage our own re enactment of the battle of Troy, using the beanbags as weapons, and the couch pillows as shields! What do we choose??”

OOC. The pillows are very soft and so too are the bean bags, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY any one will get hurt, in either game. So have fun and BATTLE!

She was juuuuust listening to everyone else (mostly Patroclus), and then Lawson got all...Professor on them. WHYYY!? She stopped and was being silent! PSSSH!

Rolling her eyes juuuuuuust the slightest, Evelyn stood up and staaaaared at the Purple Head who seemed to be crying now. Oh jeez, none of them made him cry! It's probably because the professor called him purple head. Lawson should take HIMSELF to his office!

Stretching for a moment, the Slytherin sighed and followed the others to the Professor's office. Meh...

Good Lord.

She had no idea what had happened, or how. There was what her mother said, every time she and Sachie, or she and Lavonne, laughed more than was usual for them - 'Cut it out, before one of you starts crying.' So THIS was what it truly meant. Too much fun = tears.

Or chaos, at any rate.

"Of course you have to go next," she said, placing a warm, gentle hand on Eli's shoulder. "Eli, you shouldn't -" Oh GOD, he was crying. Next second, Professor Lawson had taken over again, and Gold realized how unfair it was that something that he had meant for their benefit, something that had been supposed to be fun for them, had to turn out this badly for the Muggle Studies Professor.

She bit her lip as she thought this, jerked out of her sudden landslide of thoughts only when Professor Lawson spoke again.

"Of course, sir," she said, at once. "I'll make sure everything stays fine, until you come back."

Which was when Eli slipped something into her hands -- a note. Gold opened it, all quickly, and saw what was inside. "You'll be fine," she managed to whisper to Eli, as he left the classroom. "Trust me, Professor Lawson won't let anyone say anything to you." She wished there was a way she could say more, comfort the poor kid, but then he was gone, had followed Professor Lawson out of the classroom.

Right.

Time to act normal. Because Gold knew she couldn't run after Eli, even though she wanted to.


Lord, NO. Gold's hand shot up into the air. She was no longer the disruptive student, here. She couldn't afford to be, right now.

"With all due respect, sir, I think option number two could end up badly, given the present condition of the class and its inhabitants." Translation: Who knew what further chaos and drama it could create? "I don't think we should be taking chances. I believe it would be safer, and just as fun, to consider only on option number one."

They could fix up the bean bags later, if they had to because of that. Magic would be handy, there. But Gold was seriously not willing to take part in a full-blown fight, even if they only got to use soft-ish pillows. Someone might hit someone in the eye, or trip someone over, or decide to use the commotion to cause another argument, or maybe another scene like the one that had just happened. They couldn't be too cautious.

ESPECIALLY, right now.
