Belle was coming to Care of Magical creatures when she saw a contract when she was going to sit down. "Woah, i didn't know we have to sign something." Belle said nervously. She started reading it.

She signed the contract, and knew she was not going to disrespect the teacher. Last class was so much fun! "Did something go wrong last class?" Belle thought to herself. But she better not dwell on thinking about it and waited for the lesson to start. She gave the professor a smile and waved.

Hehehe.

The pursing relaxed some as she saw the students, one after the other, approach the table and sign their souls away names and such onto the parchment. It looked like they were taking this seriously. Or, she hoped they were.

Ah, Mister Lockhart. Her eyes stayed on him during all the minutes it took for him to sign, and even after he left. Hehehe.
"Mister Lockhart." I seeee youuuu.

Oh!
"Good Day, Miss Celebrindal." Allright, she'd give this girl a soft smile. Hehe.

"Mister Bennet." Maya greeted seriously as the boy was done writing. He didn't look that worried, did he now?

Maya returned the young girl's smile, "Good day, Miss Lewis."

"Hello to you, Mister White." She tried not to stare at the parchment when he wrote. But, not subtle.

Oh, here we go. "Miss Adler," the Mexicana sat up straighter at the young girl's approach. "So I see, how ver nice." Yes yes, you have awesome healing powers. Bet her awesome band-aid helped alot. Hehehe.

And another smile towards the young girl. "Good day, Miss Greenwell." Yes, take your time looking over the text before you sign off all your power to Maya.

"Mister Morgan," Nod. "Nice to see you walking again." Hehe! Oh, behave.

This one looked a tad worrying. Perhaps. But, he signed it, which was the important thing. "Oh, no, there is nothing wrong, Mister Blunt. You're quite allright." Yes, move along now.

Squint. Okay, another signature. This was going smoothly. "Good day, Mister Leone."

Did her staring make the kids nervous? Well... not her problem. "Good day, Miss Lovegoods." Aw, smile!

"Miss Flores," Oh, this girl better not be shouting at random strangers today, Maya would get all sigh-y. "Good day." Hehe.

What. "Well let's not lose control then, Miss Bott." And cue friendly smile. Maybe she should take their wands...just incase. Heh.

"Good day, Miss Morets." A nod and then some more oogling to see what the young girl was writing.

What was that? No one raises an eyebrow in this class but Maya Saylen. How dare- Eh, whatever. "Miss Malfoy." Incline of the head.

Ah. "I am fine, thankyou." Worried and suspicious, but fine. "Hope you are the same, Miss Skylar." Nod.

Okay, maybe that young girl didn't actually read what it said. Read it peopleee. Or well maybe she had. "Miss Johanson." Maya greeted as the girl passed by.

There we go. Reading. It was a great thing. Good day to you, Miss Page." Yes, indeed.

Why did this one look suspicious? A suspicious lesson goer none the less. That was better than no goer at all. "Hello, Miss Scott."

Okay, reading was fine, but this one took longer than necessary. It wasn't as if Maya was buying their souls magic. "Miss...Frost." Yup, as she suspected, and some upside-down reading. Maya greeted with a nod to the girl.

Oh, Merlin, gracias for the absence of the Superhero Armadillo costume. That would've been hard to explain to passers by. If they didn't just run away from all the questions.

Insurance policy? Blink.
"No, why would you..." Okay fine, that 'accidental' part had been written with the mind of a nervous person, "No, I think you are all set." She raised a hand to placate him.

And then she squinted, reached out a finger and poked him slowly on the shoulder. "You are not wearing an invisible Gladiator suit, are you?"

Heh.


"Good day to you too, Miss Browne." ...exellent. Wiggle fingers.

How come this reminded her of the Little Mermaid? When she signed a paper and her voice... Right, class. "Hello Miss Denver." Hehe.

What, did her parchment writing stutter? If it says that then that what it says. "Right you are." Right? "And welcome back, Miss Stone." Ooooh yeah, she had not forgotten her little walk-off.

Aha! "Well now you do, Miss Lecium." Have to sign it, that is. Reading, that was good.


Was that everyone? No? Hm, maybe someone else?

"Those of you who have signed, please form a large circle and hold hands." Hold hands. And sing. No, no singing. "We'll wait for any more students for a couple of minutes more."

Were there any? No?
Hmmmmm.

"Hi Professor Saylen," Alice said with a warm smile, before moving so that she was standing in a spot that gave room for either people to stand next to her. Spotting both Lexi and Salander Alice gave them a little wave and a smile.

Why was Ellie looking at him? *blush* Oh, that's right, she was the other one who'd walked off from the last lesson.

But if Treyen managed to find a broom and fly away, then that didn't count as a walk-off, right?

Er, say what Saylen? A CIRCLE?! What?!

The boy was seriously regretting having signed that mystery parchment. SERIOUSLY regretting it. And...take hands? Like, with who? With Ellie? Sure thing!

And he was smiling, but he failed to move.

As Sierra approached the table, she happened to glance over and catch the angry eye of the professor. The Slytherin girl paused for a second, debated whether or not to give her the evil eye right back, and then stepped forward to sign the parchment--whatever it was.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Sierra suddenly had the feeling that she'd just signed her life away, even if the ink had disappeared once she'd finished signing. She gave the professor a slight look and then stepped away from the table.

Seeing that she'd just signed her life away the parchment, Sierra moved into the area they were meant to form a circle in. Hold hands, though? *blink* Merlin, where were all her Slytherin friends at?! If she was going to pow wow around a circle with her hands linked to fellow students, she wanted to at least be standing by some of her own.

Since she was already heading towards him, Ellie didn't stop until she had stood next to Treyen. And she'd heard 'stand in a circle' so, that was covered, yeah?

Until the 'hold hands' part. Merlin's PANTS. She could feel herself blushing for sure. And she wished she wasn't standing where she was. But she couldn't leave now. That'd be awkward, so... She'll just stand there. The holding hands part... She'll claim to have not heard it.

Awkwardcough.

Eep "Good day, Professor Saylen," Lexi muttered and moved to where she directed the studentses. Mhm.

Smiling at Sal she held her hand out and wiggled her fingers a bit. Yes, boyfriend, come hold my hand, please. Hehehe. Then she spotted Alice and held her other hand out to her. Sweet.

...

Wait... her hands WERE clean, right? She quickly rubbed them down the front of her robes to be sure and then held them back out to Salander and Alice. |Hehe.

Kurumi made her way down to the area, with Walnut following behind as usual. Kurumi had a feeling that the cat had a kitty crush on Professor Saylen, which was a little disturbing to her. But, if the cat was happy, there was no stopping it, right?

Kurumi stopped in her tracks when she saw the sign. Well, this certainly was a surprise...Nervously, Kurumi took out her quill and wrote.

Kurumi took a step backwards and looked at it. She had done the right thing in signing it, right? Did Walnut need to put his paw print on it too?

Saylen was starting to look a bit less....whatever she was looking which had Arya relaxing and smile widening again. "Hey, Professor Saylen!" Yes, despite signing her life over the little sign in sheet, she was still excited about what this lesson held for them.

Especially after the next set of instructions. What creature were they working with that required them to be holding hands in a circle? She couldn't think of one, and ready to find out, she hopped into the forming circle beside Treyen, giving both him and Ellie a smile before taking her friends hand. Which only served to remind her that Sabel wasn't here. Hm.

Wait.

She was really coming his way. Oh. Well, he had no problem with that. No problem AT ALL. Except, perhaps, for the slight pinkness of his cheeks. But he managed to keep cool about it.

Because Arya was wrong.

He extended his hand towards her and tilted his head towards Saylen, "She said we ought to take our hands," and since when did Treyen Lockhart do what Saylen told them to?

It seemed his other hand had no problem with the taking, since Arya took it. Haha. "Hey Arya," he smiled towards his friend.

Senorita Saylen, she.... poked him.

Cue dreamy sigh

Ahem ahem.... what was she asking? "Oh no, no invisible gladiator suits today Professor. Its all me." he grinned. Although he must remember to thank her later for the idea hehe.

As instructed, he started to form a circle with the rest of the class, standing beside Lexi and taking her hand, which he had no doubt was clean and even if it wasnt he wouldnt care really"Kumbaya...." he started snickering and then stopped. Yes yes, remember, no causing trouble right? Right.

He nodded his head up at Alice in greeting then looked around at the others who were joining up for classes, "Sierra, Kurumi!" he called out. And he'd call out to Kurumi's cat too if he knew its name. For some reason Furball may not be it.

What? "Oh. Okay, then." And Ellie slipped her hand into Treyens.

She...seriously could not think of another circumstance that she'd felt so...whatever she was feeling. Not one that she couldn't just shake the feeling off. But this...this was...just weird.

The third year decided it was probably best to just chew her lip. Yes.

Oh! But Arya, "Hi Arya." She tried to smile. Honestly. She was just...nervous?

And then the lip biting continued.

Caroline got nervous she really didn't know anyone at the lesson but Kurumi. She slid over next to her and nudged her. "Hello,Kurumi' she smiled at her gryffindor buddy. Thankfullly she was there. "How are you?" stricking up a conversation so it wouldn't be weird that she just walked beside her.

Jacob heard Ellie trying to get to him. "I'll have you know that I've had less accidents with my new wand!" not by much, but less.

Wait... they had to hold hands?

He forced a cough "no" he said quickly trying to pass it off as part of the cough.

He didn't want to touch anyones grubby hands... he had no idea where those things might have. The students here were dirty... such dirty little students. You never know, they could have washed their hands in gobstone gob, or they might have rolled around in bubotuber puss this morning.

The students were weird, he actually expected some people here to do that... Weirdos.

Jacob crossed his arms tight against his chest, no one was touching his hands... or he might have to run up to the common room to burn them off, cause Jacob signed that he wouldn't use magic to burn off his own hands

"Just following instructions, you know," and he said this while his eyes were on Saylen, she should hear that, unless that made the woman more suspicious of him, in which case he'd rather have her not hear that.

But, yes, he was holding Ellie's hand now, and he was hoping that the other person to take her other hand was a girl, and not a boy. Tsk, tsk. Unless it was Conan. Or Fletcher. Or Cedric. Maaaaybe Jake. But none other, 'kay?
"You okay?" he decided on asking, because she was biting her lip.

He was more than okay, actually. Treyen was feeling like he could do anything in the world. Or, well, not anything, but lots of things.

So as long as Arya didn't think any of this taking-hands business, it was all good.

Emily froze... hold hands?... she had to hold peoples hands? She glanced around at her classmates... most of them she didn't know.... eeekkk.... awkward.

Emily then noticed Jacob standing outside the circle looking just as uncomfortable with the idea as she felt. She called over to him
"Hey Captain, want to hold my hand?" she asked. If she was going to hold anyones hand it may as well be some one that she knew.

Arya returned Treyen's smile with one of her own, rocking back on her heels with pent up excitement. "Hey, Treyen." Was he as excited about this as she was? She couldn't tell. Maybe. Possibly? Hm.

Her eyes shifted to Ellie when the girl greeted her, and she waved with her free hand. "Heya, Ellie." Excited? Yes? No? The girl seemed a bit off, and if Arya was paying the Ravenclaw much mind she would have thought further on it.

As it was, the class held her undivided attention. Heh.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking ma'am. I'll just be joining the other students then." Selina said smiling and walking over to Kurumi. The pair had had an awesome duet the other day in transfiguration. It was perhaps one of their finer moments.

When the Professor gestured for them to make a circle and join hands Selina got excited once more. Were they apparating or using a portkey? Or maybe she was over thinking things. Either way she joined the circle and held hands with the other students.

Lexi felt herself blush slightly as she laced her fingers with Salander's. Hehehe. Then the weird word... Looking at him curiously she leaned over and asked, "What language is that?" Was he speaking Troll or somefink? Odd boy... she LOVED that about him. Heh.

Rowan was very excited about this class. She approached the desk and noticed a sign in sheet. "Good day, Professor," she said. She picked up the quill and started to read the parchment rules. What? Oh no. They were going to be around muggles. Rowan could not stop the disappointment that spread across her face. She would not be able to attend this class. She looked up at the professor as if to say something, then looked away, placing the quill back on the desk where she had found it. Looking at the group of students who would be enjoying this lesson, she quickly turned and walked away, hoping that no one had noticed her.

seeing her out of her confort zone he walks by and wispers " hey last year when she almost got the class eaten by giant spiders in the forbidded forest we didnt have to sign a waver,with all the muggle stuff going onI bet we going to go watch a muggle Rodeo or somthin" joining the circle a cpl of student away so she didnt think he was trying to hold her hand,he smile at her and mouths Just kidding her classes are fun

Jacob stared at Browne for a few seconds... was she being serious? Could no one read body language? He doesn't wanna be touched by these students grubby fingers. "Thats a negative." he said simply

Jacob tightened the grip of his crossed arms... Don't Touch Me! I don't need your diseases.... Don't! Touch! Me!

Right. Jacob was there. And, that totally calmed her... In whatever weird way it was. "Thank Merlin for that!"

Ellie was completely serious. Jacob's 'accidents' were life-threatening. Especially if it was going to be a case where they couldn't use magic to protect themselves.

Following instructions. Ellie nodded.

And, being post-Jacob's comback, "Yeah, no, I'm fine." As in she WAS fine. She didn't know why that 'no' was in there. It just was. "Why?"

She was totes fine. The lip chewing decreased in intensity. Now she was simply doing it cuz it was something to do.

Her blush was most likely still evident, though. And it didn't look like it would be going away anytime soon.

"How're you?" This was more like her. Just talk. Keep talking.

Emily laughed, poor Jacob. "Your loss", she said as she shrugged and turned away.
She simply stood in the circle and joined onto random people hands... it felt strange... holding hands....

Kurumi blushed when she hear Salander's voice. "Hello," she said shyling waving her hand a bit. Walnut took a step foward to sniff the boy's shoe. He much prefered Peppermint Boy...who was standing across the circle! Lucky! This one...he smelled more like old cornflakes...

Kurumi then saw Selina and Caroline and smiled at them both.

They were supposed to hold hands? Kurumi wanted to squeeze in between Lexi and Salander - two of her favorite upper classmen - but they seemed to be a little too close for her to wedge her way in. She frowned a bit, but did her best to turn the smile back on when she turned back to Caroline. "I'm fine," she said standing between her two friends. "A little concerned about that paper I just signed though." She looked at Walnut who was now making his way over to Treyen. Maybe it would be best for him to head back to the castle?

"Professor Saylen," Kurumi said nervously. "Why did we have to sign that document? Are we going to visit the non-magical world today?" It was only after she said it that the thought really sunk in.

THEY WEREN'T?! WERE THEY?!
