History of Magic I
 

Professor Welton stood in the front of the classroom as she looked out at the three clusters of desks. Normally, she would have just left the desks in a neat rows, but small clusters would work better today. On each desk was a sheet of parchment and a coloured marker.

Walking down the middle, she smiled as she pulled her wand out and flicked it at the door. It was time to let the children in. Silently, the door swung open as she placed her wand back in its holster and made her way back to the front. Standing before the massive map floating in the front of the room, she bounced on her heals slightly.

History of Magic, without Lainey?... it was... it was... he couldn't find a word for it!... It Was Bad! he'll just leave it at that!

Entering the classroom, Jacob immediatly turned his attention to the giant floating Map.... Jacob's Not Crazy! He's not... The doctor said it would go away. Horrible... Nightmare Visions! and those monkeys those Horribly, Horrid Monkeys. But Now a Giant Floating Map? He's Not Crazy!!!!!

Calm, Breath... it might go away! Ignore it. "Hello Professor" He said and quickly diverted his eyes from the nightmare-ish map....it was gonna eat him! Jacob sat down quietly, see he was quiet... nope no giant floating map around here!

Alex walked into the classroom, last History of Magic classes had been completely insane, with Lainey always surprising them. Now they had yet another new teacher for yet another subject. Alexandrie wondered eyeing the floating map in front of the classroom as she sat down. "Hello Professor." Alex greeted trying to recall the new History of Magic Professor's name.

Jenny walked into the classroom. The huge map in front of the class was distracting for some reason. She almost walked straight into a cluster of tables before saying "Good day, Professor." Jenny immediately sat down on the seat in the cluster closest to the door. She did not want to trip anymore for today.

Brittany waled into her 4th class of the year. She didnt know if she was going to be able to keep up with all of this information gahhhh!!!. "Hello Profesor" she said rather blandly before taking a seat

Enya walked in and said. "Good Afternoon Professor Welton!' She took a seat next to Brittany. "Hi Britt."

Hmm, Evelyn didn't know what to expect from this class. Surely, she didn't see Lainey at the feast, so that meant they had a new teacher. But, the Slytherin just HAD to be sure.

Peaking around the corner to the classroom, Evelyn stared around at the normalcy, and then her black eyes landed on the professor. Not, Lainey. This...

This was good. This was normal. Good and normal. Right. "Good day, Profesor." she said sweetly as she finally walked into the room and taking a seat near the back. And now, time for her usual STARE at everyone until the class started.

Alice made her way to the History of Magic classroom. She was actually somewhat curious for this class, she wanted to know as much about history that she could. Well, in reality she wanted to know everything, but she had to start somewhere and what was better than starting with history.

As she entered the classroom, Alice spotted the professor at the front of the room. She was smiling, which was quite new to Alice. Her professors in Germany didn't really smile. It was a good change. Alice walked to the front of the room and introduced herself, "Hello Professor Welton, I'm Alice Black." she extended her hand towards the professor for a proper introduction, like her grandparents had taught her, and grinned.

Brittany smiled as she aw Enya sit down next to her. "Hi Enya, How are you doing?" she added

"Pretty well, all things considered. How about you?"

Emmaleigh walked into the History of Magic classroom. She had already met the professor, and she was really nice. "Good Morning, Professor." She said smiling.
Em then wandered over to Where Brittany and Enya were sitting, and sat down. "HEy guys."

Brittany had heard what Enya had or was going through from Michael. She gave the girl a sad smile. "Im good just trying to get through all these classes. Its like a rush of information all at one time."Brittany said with a small laugh. She didnt want to be to loud while the professor was right there

"Hi Em." Brittany said as she sat at the table to

Enya smiled. "Hi Ems!"

Salander saunters into his next class Why cant all classrooms be located on the first floor? he mused as he eyes the table clusters curiously with their colored marker and parchment set infront of a giant map. A smirk formed on his lips as the whole set up somehow reminded him of pre-school. Or a PTA meeting.

As he approaches a seat, he casually glances off to the side.... and does a double take when he set his eyes on the Professor. So distracted was he that he slams his knee into the back of the chair and nearly topples over. Owww... he mumbles as he crumples into the seat nursing his knee quietly. Quickly he tries to put on the best smile he can muster despite the pain "Goodmorning Professor."

New. Professor.

*giggles*

Perhaps she'd made HoM bearable. Better see hm?

"Hellllllllllllllllllo Professor," Cameron greeted brightly and sat at a random seat in the middleish. What would they be doing today?

"You excited?" She grinned. Being a teacher would be a stressful job.

Callie walked into the History of magic classroom. Was this gonna be like that muggle history thing ? Meh. She wasn't really bothered it was to do with magic so she was happy. She looked at the professor who was standing at the front of the classroom and smiled. "Hello Professor howre you today ?" she'd might aswell be nice. She sat down on and empty desk and smiled. Coloured markers were funnn.

Autumn walked into the History of Magic classroom. She was quite looking forward to this class. It sounded like fun. Sure, there was a new professor, but she was sure that the class would be great. "Hello, Professor," she said. She smiled and made her way to an empty seat.

Finally getting into the HoM room, Rae felt like she was going to be late because of her sluggishness but to her surprise she wasn't late at all! Once she entered she took a seat next to some kid she didn't know. Until she did a double take of the kid... Wait... She DID know him! "Hey... Were you the kid that was bothering Fletcher and I for a drink?" No she didn't have the firewhiskey but she was still bothered, and unlike this kid, she knew where she could find a whole bottle to herself. This guy just wasn't all that street smart.

Salander looks away from the Professor-- only barely-- when he felt someone take a seat next to him. When he did, he does the double take again. Hey its her from Leaky Cauldron "Hi!" he greeted the lovely brunette. Salander bothering Fletcher? Nawww, you dont say... "I was trying to get him to give me a clue about that drink." he grins, recalling that the GlitterPuff wouldnt budge other than giving his name. "And I'll keep bothering him until his ears bleed and tells me where I could get more of that good stuff." he joked. Oh yes, if Salander wants something bad enough, he can be a pest persistent. "I'm Salander by the way" he introduced himself as he offered his hand.

And there was the first student right there. A Ravenclaw no less. Sylvie should have guessed an eagle would be the first one to arrive. Giving the eagle a nod, she noticed his eyes and glanced back at the map behind her. Was it crooked again? She had really thought it looked straight.
Turning her attention away from the map, she nodded kindly to the next student. Again more eyeing of her map. Really it was straight and in her option it was a nice map. Yet, strange looks at the map.
Seeing another student arrive, she nodded and smiled. That was a good sign, grinning was good. Frowns were bad and there yet to be a frown. Fingers crossed.
As more students filed in, Sylvie offered them polite smiles and nods. It really did look as things were running smoothly. "Good day, students." she replied as even more students continued to found their way in. Looking good so far.
Noticing another student entering, she took note of the Slytherin looking around and her welcoming tone. She knew that sweet tone, she used to use it herself at that age.
Turning her atttention back to the door, she blinked as she noticed a student right in front of her. "Why, hello Miss Black," she replied as she looked at the extended hand and took it in a short shake, before withdrawing her own hand. "You can take a seat anyway. Class will be starting shortly."
Looking back out at the students, Sylvie smiled as she noticed a Ravenclaw waving about her marker and humming. Those eagles were always a mystery to her and they all seemed to be eyeing her map. Seriously, was it crooked or something?
"And good day to you as well, Miss Swynford," Sylvie smiled as she noticed the young Hufflepuff with a group of what looked to be friends. Hopefully they weren't the ones that were thinking such ill things about the girl.
Looking toward the source of the sound, Sylvie offered a smile and nodded. "Good morning, that sounded a bit painful. Are you okay?" she asked. Bruises were never a fun thing.
Hearing another hello, Sylvie looked to the Gryffindor Prefect and smiled. "Hello, Miss Caddock," she replied and nodded. "Of course, first classes are always exciting." she grinned as she moved her way to her desk and picked up a piece of parchment.
Oh, she had sleepy students in her class today. Yawning was ever so contagious! Smiling, she waved back before picking up a coloured marker.
"Hello. I am quite well today. Thank you for asking," Sylvie smiled as she scanned the room. No more odd looks at her map. Very good sign.
Seeing another student take a seat, Sylvie offered a nod and walked back in front of the map. With the parchment in one hand and the marker in the other, she took a quick glance at the time and cleared her throat slightly.

"Class will be starting soon, but I'll allow some for the late comings to join us before we get started." she announced. "But as we wait, you will notice the parchment and the marker on your desk. I'm sure this sounds rather elementary and all, but I would like for you to make nameplates for yourselves. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you all personally and I would rather address you by your own name, unless you do like to be referred to as 'hey kid in the back' or something. Which, I would rather not have to revert too." That would be rude and rudeness really had no room in her class. "I'm also sure that many of you don't know every single person in this class and knowing names would be helpful, Now fold the parchment in any fashion you want and use the marker provided. Your name and house is all I need, but feel free to add your year if you like and perhaps where you are from." Yes, locations would be a good thing.

"Once you are done, just wait patiently and I will start the class shortly," she added before turned back to her desk. Setting the parchment and marker down, she turned back. "Oh, and don't mind if your marker comes out as just black. The colouring will come later."

Cassandra entered the classroom and looked around for a familiar face that she she could sit with when she failed to see anyone she knew, she sat down on a chair near the back "Good morning Professor." She greeted before she sat down. Then she looked down on the parchment on her desk and followed the professor's instructions.
