Trixie walked into History of Magic extremely optimistic. She liked this lesson, not that she disliked any lesson anyway but she was looking forward to getting down to some NEWT stuff ready for next year. The Slytherin appeared to be one of the first to be there. In fact she WAS the first one there Strange. She was an eager beaver there was no doubt about that.

The Blonde stopped to read the message that was on a peice of parchment near the baskets. Hmm... Take one for you AND your friends. But her friends weren't here yet.

*Pout*

Ah well. The sixteen year old picked one up and brought it back to a space on a large cushion, waiting for one of her friends to turn up and join her lonesome self.

Jacob dragged himself down 6 flights of stairs to get to the class... Why? Why, couldn't Jacob just back to bed? What exactly was the point of coming to this class? All Jacob did here was make a complete fool of himself. Well no more, today he was going to behave himself... or sleep.

Jacob stepped through the door... no brownies... or carrots?... No teacher either!

Jacob looked around the room again in case he missed her. Nope, there was really no Welton in sight. "No Teacher!" WHOOO! "Disco Party!!!" he yelled, and started randomly dancing!

"Party, Party, Party, Par-"

Note... and picnic basket. Cool, Jacob got to steal picnic baskets like yogi bear... Jacob gets to be a bear!

He quickly took a basket and had a seat. He'd play goodie boy until it was time to strike

Keeley cheerfully skipped into the History of Magic classroom, quite glad to have something, even a lesson, to give her something to do. Hmm.... the room seemed to be empty, save Trixie and that one kid in her house whose name she didn't remember. But chatting with either probably wouldn't be the best idea, seeing as the older girl had the impression that she needed mental help, and well... she didn't feel like talking. If only they could just use this class for a niiice nappie time. Heehee.

Brushing back a stray piece of her jet black hair, the girl spotted the collection of big ol' picnic baskets. Like with Little Red Riding Hood? Would a scawy wolf try to take it? O_O Meep. Wolves are frightening indeed.

Take one for you and yourself friends? Well, not like Keeley had many friends. Whateva, no time to think of that now. The question of what was in the basket was more important. Taking it to one of the numerous empty desks, the Ravenclaw did a bit of investigating.

Poke. Poke. Rattle. Rattle.

Hmmm... a mystery.

Adelyn went to to the classroom. Borrrinngggg. She took a basket and sat there quitley.

Frowning at first because the desks and chairs were back, Kurumi's eyes then lite up when she saw the picnic baskets. Did this mean they were going to go outside, perhaps down by the lake, and have a relaxing picnic? Or...maybe the baskets weren't even filled with food. Was there a maze? She really should just learn to not try and guess what professors at Hogwarts were thinking in terms of their lessons.

Picking up a basket, Kurumi found a seat towards the front and began tracing the woven lines of the basket.

Making her way towards the classroom, actually awake and ready this time, the Slytherin stopped at the doorway for a split moment as she stared around the room. What? No cushions and such anymore? Well that failed.

Seeing that someone had taken a basket off the professor's desk, and that a few others had one as well, Evelyn went over and scanned the parchment laid next to them, sighing at what she read. Well, if they were going outside, at least it was warm weather right? Seeing that none of her friends were here though, Evelyn took a basket and moved to a desk in the back of the class.

Or maybe she'll sit right behind cookie girl. Tough decision.

Running just slightly behind, Sylvie levitated another group of baskets into the room before her. Giving the class a quick glance, she smiled. It was still a bit early and maybe there would be a few stragglers.

Setting the baskets down with the others, she turned back to the students and smiled.

"Hello class, I see must of you have a basket. We'll wait a bit longer before we move."

Marie walked into the History of Magic class and right away spotted Evelyn... with a picnic basket? She then looked around the room and seen there were more baskets on the professors desk.

Well she wanted a basket too so she went over to get one. "Hello Professor, how are you today?" She then grabbed a basket and went to sit by Evelyn. "Hey Evelyn." she said as she sat down. Now to wait for class to start, and for others, like her favorite 'Claw to show up. Oh and Destiny too.

Time to watch the door.

Hey hey hey, its a pick-a-nick basket...

Brows raised, the Slytherin lad trailed behind Professor so hottie Welton, catching a basket just before it landed on the table. 'Before we move?'"Are we going outdoors Professor?" Would explain the basket of goodies.

Lexi traipsed into the HoM classroom with a HUGE smile upon her face. Although she was still a bit upset with Sal for puking on Professor Carlton's door she still gave him a little finger waggle and Marie too.... Oddly enough. She was too happy for words. Taking basket she toooook a seat waiting for Professor Welton to give directions.

"Hello Marie. I'm great today. How are you this fine day?"

It really was a great day.
Catching sight of Salander, Sylvie nodded and smiled. "It's way too nice out to be cooped up, so a field trip is in order."

Spring was upon them and a bit of fresh air would be a welcome change.

Having opted to sit behind Cookie girl, Evelyn stared at the back of the girl's head. Hmm, would it be wrong to stick the basket on the girl's head and then shrink it?

Wait...did she even know a shrinking charm thing?

Meep! "Hey Marie." she smiled, glancing her way for a moment before going back to contemplating whether or not to do right or wrong. It was such a hard decision.

Say what?

Moving her attention away from Cookie girl to the Professor, Evelyn slumped in her seat, trying to figure out what they needed a basket for outside.

They weren't going to go prancing around picking berries now were they?

Jacob had studied the basket closley. And he had come to the conclusion that food was indeed inside this basket. What food was inside the Pic-A-Nic basket was still unknown to the bear society, but Jacob the bear WILL find out.

Jacob tried to open the basket, with no suceess, it was like locked or something. Why would someone lock a pic-a-nic basket? Jacob was now using all the muscles in his body to try and open the basket. No matter what, that food was going to go into his belly!

OH MY GOD! Someone was coming into the room, with more pic-a-nic baskets. Well It seems Boo-Boo was finally pulling through.

Wait. That wasn't Boo-Boo.

Eeek! Mr. Ranger! He was going to foil Jacobs plans to get the basket and escape the park!

Jacob droped the the ground and hid under the chair still trying to open the basket. now with his teeth

The burning sensation in the back of Kurumi's head seemed to have weakened a bit, but she still felt the urge to touch the back of her head. No, nothing wrong as far as she could feel. Ever so slowly, because if her gut instincts were right then she almost wanted to cry, she turned her head to see EEP! cookie hater was sitting directly behind her.

She better not try to steal her basket, because it was hers! She brought it close to her chest and felt its contents shift a little.

Emmaleigh headed to up to the first floor, for the last History of Magic lesson. "Morning Professor" she said to Professor Welton. As she entered, she noticed that all the other students had picnick baskets, so she looked around and saw that there were baskets on the professor's desk. She read the note, and took a basket to her seat.

As the end of the term approached, Eino began to regret his (mother's) decision to take more classes than he would like, and reconsidered his schedule for the next year. Yawning, he made his way into the room, and to the front of the classroom where he read the note left by the Professor. He turned around and saw a familiar face, although this time not hidden behind a pillow, it was the same Gryffindor girl from the Ancient Runes class who had ran into him with her pillow. "Hello." He greeted as he approached her. "Is it possible we could share a basket?" He somewhat regretted the request once he noticed how tightly she was clutching it. "... It's okay if you don't want to." He clarified scared the girl would bark in rejection.

Ellie walked into HoM, ready for another exciting and unexpecting class period. And she saw picnic baskets. More food?!

She took one and lifted it up to her ear and gave it a good shake shake. "It's chocolate, right?" she determined. It had to have been chocolate. A whole chocolate picnic. With chocolate sandwiches on chocolate bread with chocolate condiments, chocolate fruit, and chocolate cake.

Professor Welton was the equivalent of awesome.

Neptune Bott scanned the room for a friend. Hmmm. There was Trixie... she was a pal. So she went that way and sat in her vicinity. Merlin knew Miss Bott wasn't going to carry a basket on her own. That's what boys were for.

Or in this case, Trixie.


Unless that Salander fellow wanted to you know, be FRIENDS. Giggle.


Neptune settled into a seat and reached over to stroke at Trixie's pretty blond hair. Friiiiiiiiiend. Picnic basket carrier. Giggle.

Kurumi's face instantly flushed. One would think that after an entire year of Hogwarts she would not get so flustered and shy when meeting new people. She needed cookies...she had baked a fresh batch that morning...but it probably wasn't a good idea to bring those out. Still, the aroma of them practically wrapped her and her general area up like a nice warm blanket.

"H-H-Hello," she smiled back as she began playing with her side pony-tail. "I-I don't mind sharing," she said taking a quick look over her shoulder at cookie hater. She loosened her grip on the basket and relaxed a little. "Um...I'm Kurumi," she said now trying to hide her blushing cheeks with her left hand and extending her right one for a handshake. "I...I never did say sorry properly for running into with my pillow shield." of DOOM!

With a glance at all the students present, Sylvie reached for her own basket. Placing the handle in the crook of her arm, she nodded. It looks like it would be a small picnic today.

"Please follow me class, we are headed out to the lake. Do keep up please. The sooner we get there, the sooner we find out what is in our baskets."

With that said, she headed out the door. The remaining baskets sat atop the desk for any stragglers to grab before joining them.


OOC: The lesson has started. Place follow to the lake. Don't announce your late arrival please. If you want, you may RP grabbing a basket here and then join in the given thread.

Eino let out a sigh of relief. He considered himself a shy person, but being around people who seemed to be more shy than himself made him feel comfortable and at ease. "My name's Eino." He replied with a smile as he shook her hard firmly. To his surprise, the pillow fight with her began with an accident when all this time he thought Kurumi had purposely tackled him to knock him to the ground, which he wouldn't have minded since that was the purpose of the class after all. "Oh, it's no problem!" He replied and quickly turned to the Professor, who was now announcing where the class would take place. "I can carry it, if you don't want to." Eino offered to take the basket when the Professor had finished talking and the students were moving out.

Cass had arrived just in time to go and grab a basket from the table before following the rest of the class out to the lake. Good thing she wasn't late!

"It's nice to meet you Eino." She sure hoped that she was saying his name correctly. Then the professor made the announcement that they were moving to the lake...already?! Wow, that was a short time in the classroom, not that she really minded. Kurumi looked back at the basket and then at Eino. It wasn't that heavy, but if he was offering..."If you don't mind," she smiled picking up her bag and then grabbing his before he could protest. "I can carry your things in return." That was fair, yes?

"Likewise." Making a new friend was probably one of his biggest accomplishments during History class so far, even his parents would be proud. Eino took the basket, and felt very courteous and chivalrous for a small second, and then Kurumi snatched his bag and offered to carry it. Now he was going to carry a picnic basket all the way to the lake with a girl carrying his bag for him, yet another embarrassing moment, he thought. As he followed the Professor and the rest of the students, he wondered what was inside the basket, and hoped it food, preferably sweets! He also hoped that the trip to the lake wasn't an indication that today's lecture involved the history of marine creatures, since he wasn't familiar with the subject, and wasn't particularly interested in it.
