Strolling in rather calmly Salander nodded his head at Professor Welton and gave her a polite smile. His eye caught the small book she had in her hands and paused to look at it for a while. It had a cover of a skull. He likes skulls, skulls are cool! Therefore that has got to be a book worth reading right? Right!

Hugo entered the classroom. This time let's pay attention in HoM. "Hello, professor," he said and smiled.

Emily turned to see a fellow Ravenclaw. "Hi, yes itis... Nice to meet you too", she replied smiling at the Claw.
"How've you been?"

Dianna entered the classroom and stifled a yawn. As usual, there were pillows were the students can get comfy with. Taking a seat, Di noticed the familiar book that the Professor was holding. She knows that her father has this in his library.

"Hello, Professor Welton." she smiled.

Fee entered the clasroom and looked for a free seat. History of magic was cool with Professor Welton soo she kinda looked forward to the lesson.The last had ended with such a great discussion that she really liked coming here this morning.

Taking a seat next to the window the blonde took out her school supplies and fluffed up her curls a little again."Good Morning professor",the girl beamed a smile.

But still...there were treats involved, so you couldn't complain much.

"What ARE we reading?" It totally looked like Beedle's book. Fountain of Fair Fortune for the win!

"That is still a surprise for the moment," she replied. There were a few options that she could very well pick from.

"Which story would you like to hear, I'm sure we might get to cover a few of them."

...

Well, that had just woken her up. Sierra narrowed her eyes at the overly-happy girl and then turned to look for an empty desk. She really didn't want to sit on a pillow, but when she happened to notice that Evelyn had already claimed one, she decided to join her friend on the floor.

"Hello, Professor," she said, greeting Welton before sitting down near Evelyn.

"Hello, Sierra."

She glanced around, then made herself comfortable on a cushion. She also noticed a curious looking book in professor Welton's hands. Story time? Or something like that?

"Hello, Helena."

"Good day, Emily."

"Good day, Dianna."

Closing the book once again, she looked up at all the students and smiled softly. The turn out was a bit better now.

"I want to wait a bit longer before I start the lesson, but let's start now anyway. Class if any of your classmates are sleep, do wake them now."

Storytime was about to start.

"Class, what book do you think I have in my hands?"

OCC: I'm going to start the lesson now, but I have just been called into work early. Please continue answer the question, but keep the chatter down. I don't want to come back to pages and pages of chatter after work.

Kurumi took another nervous glance at the book and saw the scary looking skull on it. What book did she think it was? Something to do with death by the looks of it. She turned her head to look at the Ravenclaw girl who had been overly excited about storytime. Storytime...with death? Not that certainly did not sound like much fun...

"Professor, it looks like a book related to death..." she said glancing at the scary looking cover again.

Cass looks at the book from where he is sitting for a moment before saying, "I think it is a wizard's story book, given the cushions and set up in the classroom. But Other than that I am not sure, I have not see it before or at least don't think I have, Ma'am."

Still a story in History of Magic, this should be interesting... He hopes.

Smiling at Mia, she sat down on one of the cushions near her, pulling like four others with her. Well? She wanted to be comfortable! Mia had to get her own pillows though.

...

HAHA okay, no, the Hufflepuff could have a few. Evelyn wasn't that greedy. Maybe. Now...now there was two people here? She wasn't sharing anymore pillows! Okay, maaaybe she would give Sierra one if she wanted it, but anyone else, get your own.

Helloooo to you Sierra.

Hmm, and she had just gotten comfortable to, and juuuuuuust about to close her eyes as Professor 'I don't like to sleep' announced for everyone to wake up. Or for others to wake up others...either way, people had to be awake.

Sighing, Evelyn sat up slightly, leaning against her elbows as she crossed her ankles and listened to the question. That book? Hmm, looked familiar. Maybe. Who knows. Cookie girl's answer was much more amusing, and that other kid was right about the setting they had going on at the moment. Comfy cushions, book in the Professor's hands, evil death looking designs...

"Could only mean that it is a story book then." she smiled, glancing over to Cookie girl and that other Gryffindor who had answered before her before looking back to the Professor. "Filled with stories of...misfortune."

Death was such a strong word.

Dianna immediately raised her hand. And then lowered it a little, uncertain.

"Is it the Tales of Beedle the... the.." uh-oh, she remembered her father browsing it before. "Lard? Hard? Fard? Bard?" she guessed. Or was it just a story book about skulls and as one of her classmates have said..death? Maybe it was Gard and not Bard.. Grr.. History is so hard!

Hey, that rhymes.

Emily's hand shot up into the air... "Professor, is that an original first edition copy of Beedle the Bard?" she asked curiously, trying to get a good look at it.
Emily seemed to remember seeing a similar book in her fathers library.

Kurumi shot the Ravenclaw girl a look of utter confusion. Tales of the Beetle Bard? Why in Merlin's pool of jello were they going to have stories about creepy crawly bugs read to them?

That book...didn't look very welcoming. With a skull on the front. Oh. That was not a book that looked very friendly not at all. And Finn didn't really have any idea what it was. But he really didn't read that much, so it wasn't that surprising really. "It...doesnt like a very friendly book." He commented, not really knowing what it was. Although others thought it was the first copy of beedle the bard. Mmm. Those stories were quite nice though...but the book looked so mean. Oh dear. Something didn't seem right.

Claire looked at the book the Professor was holding, she knew what it was, her mum used to read from it to her when she was younger.
"It's the Tales of Beedle the Bard" she answered, glancing at Emily besides her.

At the indication of the Professor's words Selina went to the half-eaten muffin holder Kurumi and shook her slightly. "Hey Sleeping Beuaty, time to wake up. It's story time. No, but seriously class is starting."

Then Selina caught sight of the book.

"Hey that's the Tales of the Beedle the Bard. My Aunt Jennette has an obsession with the tale of the three brothers. I'm pretty sure she has a picture of that book in her study."

Emily sat amongst the cushions and started at the book.
It wasn't one she'd ever seen before. And everyone seemed to be guessing 'The Tales Of Beedle The Bard'. She still needed to read that as well.

She coughed slightly, but stayed quiet.
She thought it was wrong to judge a book by it's cover.

Sliding onto a luffy cushion, after having said a quick Good Morning to the Professor, Patroclus did an absentminded sweep of the class room with his eyes, trying to count the amount of Lions present; there was a pretty good turn out!

However as Welton began to speak, the prefect turned his attention to her, "Professor that is one of the very rare original 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'" The boy had seen one like it before, and was also very familiar with the sotries that were held within it's pages!

"Fountain of Fair Fortune." For sure. It was Ellie's favorite! And she never got to read it anymore because she always had to read to Aidan and he said that it was 'girly'. Of course, his favorite was The Warlock's Hairy Heart. ICKY. Meh.

.....

Mannnn. Look at everyone stealing her thunder. Not cool.

POUT.

But she supposed Welton already knew that she knew what it was? Because of her last question to her? Yeah? "It's Totally Beedle the Bard." She'll give an answer anyway. But it totally was.

Helena looked more careful at the book professor Welton was holding. She recognized that one! Her hand instantly shot up in the air. "Is that... a very old version of Tales of Beedle the Bard?"

Oooh this lesson was going to be interesting if they were going to discuss about those tales! They were Helena's favourite.

Jake knew this one. He sat back in his chair from the back of the room and leeeeeeeeeeeeaned back on its legs so the top of the chair hit the wall gently, and raised his hand. "Beedle the Bard... clearly," he pointed out. And it was 'clearly' because SO MANY PEOPLE had said it... so of course it was. "I remember when Truebridge told us about it. That's when I really heard about it properly."

First year... how he missed it.

Heavy siiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Just as Sierra sat down on a nice, cushioned pillow, she happened to glance back up and catch the eye of Miss Super Happy Storytime Girl. The girl was smiling at her--no beaming at her, which only made Sierra even more suspicious of her! Just what was she up to, hmm?!

The sound of her name drew her attention away from the Ravenclaw girl, and so Sierra turned back to the professor with a small smile. Oh, a book? Hmm, Sierra couldn't exactly see what was in the woman's hands from here.

Why had she opted to sit on a pillow again?!

Oh, right...Evelyn. Sierra craned her neck until she could get a pretty good view of the book. Easy question--she'd been familiar with that book since she was a toddler! "It's 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', Professor," she said, her hand in the air.

"Hello Professor!" she said as she was sitting in the second row, Then she saw the book and knew what it was in an instant. "That is the book of the tales of beetle and the bard!" she gasped.She never thought she would see that book in her life. Her grandparents always talked about it.

'Hello, Professor Welton,' Maddie said politely as she headed for a seat on the second row. History of Magic was not one of her favourite subjects, but nevertheless it had to be learnt, so learn it she would. Sitting down, she looked around for anyone she knew. So far, no one.

She put her hand up. 'Is it 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard, professor?' she asked. She had a copy at home, so she ought to know what it looked like.

Jacob gave a large, over exaggerated yawn.

Stories weren't his thing, but this book actually looked interesting. Actually it looked alot like the Blunt Family Record Book... all his families history laid in that book. How did Professor Welton get it, Jacob had no idea. Maybe she would explain were his Magic actually came from.

But when Jacob took a closer look, he saw that there were less gems on the book, so it obviously wasn't his family's book... "An old, Creepy looking one" Maybe it had the history of death, and weird things like that.

Perched on the desk against the wall much like he was last term, Salander shrugged at the Professor's question. It was a cool-looking book, but thats the most he knew about it. Then the class started saying its title. "Whoah! Thats the Beedle Bard book?" Now that he knew. "Its the storybook that tells of the three brothers who owned the Deathly Hallows." His favorite story, for obvious reasons.
