It was a nice, warm spring day, and William was rather pleased to be sitting outside near the edge of the Forbidden Forest. This was the tamer part of the forest, actually, close to the boundaries of the creatures sanctuary. He'd set up the class in the hopes that none of the students would be intimidated by the forest. Not yet, anyway.
"Welcome, welcome," William greeted the early students. "You can drop your pygmy puff off from last class over there," and he pointed to the tiny wooden enclosure that had been set up in the barn earlier this year, "and have a seat over here!" There were a few wooden logs scattered around in a semi-circle near his wooden stool.
Today's class should prove... useful to the students. Heh.

Taking note of a few key points, Kurumi began to pack her things up when her entire body froze as she was putting her parchment back in it. She remained that way for several long moments as if someone had put a Full-Body Binding Curse on her and her eyes became vacant of any expression. Suddenly, she moved again and completed the task she had been in the middle of doing as if nothing had happened.
She was going to ask Professor Williamson something, but it seemed to have slipped her mind. Must not have been important then. Shrugging to herself, Kurumi put her bag over her shoulder and bowed as she usually did to Professor Williamson. "Have a good day, professor!"
And back up to the castle she went.

The shield spell, got it! She made a mental note to do the homework as she coppied it down . She put her stuff back into her bag and waited for the people that didnt want their puffs/or were to busy to collect them at the current moment, she walked up to the Proffesor and said Professor, I would love to keep Squeaky, erm Sapphira! She loved Squeaky, it was very hard saying goodbye to her, but if the Professor let her, it wouldnt be goodbye!

Since the Professor had told them to wait behind if she wanted to take Nerfball back with her, she sat back and copied down what their homework assignment was and then waited for the other students to leave. "Professor I'll wait here until you are ready to take us back to the pen, so that I can collect Nerfball." Alyssa told him.

As the discussion had been opened for questions again, the only one Stella had been able to think of was to remind Professor Williamson that he'd said to talk to him at the end of the lesson if she wanted to adopt Nuage. However, she wasn't about to actually ask that, so she'd applied herself to trying to think of any other questions. Until Daichi had spoken up about his pygmy puff, followed by at least one Hufflepuff. At least she hadn't had to say anything, but she made a note of the responses that actually did refer to dealing with more dangerous creatures like the skrewt, as well as adding a bit about the fact they were supposed to have been facing something else entirely that the professor wasn't willing to reveal in case he brought the lesson back at a later date. She still had another term left after all.
But then it seemed the lesson was over with, and she quickly added the homework assignment to the bottom of the parchment she'd been taking notes on. At least that hadn't gotten damaged in the skrewt attack, even though she'd already checked her school bag for scorch marks or water damage. It would have been hard to write things down if her things had gotten burned, not to mention really disappointing if she'd lost her birthday present after less than a year. Finishing copying the assignment down, though, she slid the parchment back into her bag and stood up after sligning the strap over her shoulder. "Professor? I'd like to adopt Nuage," she spoke up. It had been in her pygmy puff journal from the homework, but she wasn't sure if he would have remembered that. Especially snce she hadn't said anything before now when the subject had come up.

Ella tried to sit patiently through the rest of the announcements but she was too excited! She wanted to know what the news was about the pygmy puffs. She quickly copied down her homework in her notebook and then...wait a second! They could adopt their puffs! Ella was beyond happy about that. She did her best not to cry out right there in class, no that could wait til after.
As the other students started to file out, Ella walked over to where a couple of other puff lovers were waiting. "Professor, I too would like to adopt my little guy! I'll do anything to get Barnabus. He's the best." She said sincerely, her eyes wide with excitement.

William was starting to wonder why all these students were gathered around him in the barn. He was just checking up on the animals, wasn't he? Anyway, away went one student now. Good.
"See ya, Kurumi." He gave the girl a wave and went back to moseying around the barn.

William was about to go muck out some granian stalls when five MORE students came to him. Huh whut whut? What were they wanting? Adopting pymgy puffs?
He blinked at the five kids and rubbed the back of his neck. "Pygmy puffs, pygmy puffs, right...." He blinked. "Well let's go get them for you, shall we?"
Willy started out of the barn without any more preamble, sighing to himself. He felt like he was forgetting something but he couldn't remember exactly what it was, or why he was forgetting it....

Ella looked at the Professor, her eyebrows raised. He seemed quite confused about something. She shook off the confusion and smiled when he said they would be going to get the puffs. Barnabus, I'm coming!!! To say the first year was excited was an understatement. She followed the Professor happily, anxious to get her little yellow puff companion.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Daichi had seen the other five students walking up to the Professor and asking for their Pygmy Puffs. The Slytherin wanted his Ducky Duck back too and decided to follow the small group , hoping his Pygmy Puff hadn't been too scared like he had been during the lesson. Now he thought about it...had Williamson notice his fear for fire? Because he could only just stop his sentence back then and ...he didn't ask anything more about it.
Honestly believing that the Professor had not noticed it, Daichi smiled like how people knew him and effectively putting on his mask of happiness again and waddled like a duck behind the others.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever! The idea of permanent home is actually a good idea. If that happens, he doesn't have to live under the same roof with that werewolf anymore. Hades gets back to his feet when Williamson moves on with the announcement and unfortunately, homework. The younger Slytherin dusts of his muddy knees and wipes his face with his sleeve.
Pygmy puffs? He doesn't have one and doesn't even want one. Although, he wouldn't mind if the professor lets him adopt the skrewt even though he was told that it can't be tamed. Hades dragged his feet to where they dumped their bags earlier and slung it across his shoulder. "See ya' later then, prof," he says, casually waving his hand without looking back. He is exhausted. And he needs a long bath. So does his uniform. It might take a couple of days to get rid of the mud.

Nerida looked at her professor who seemed very confused...She smiled yay she would get her little green puff, SQUEAKY! SHe followed behind the others, waiting to get her puff ball back. She looked at Dachi who was waddling like a duck, she smiled he was funny!!

Alyssa followed the Professor and the other students back out the pen where the Pygmy Puffs had been corralled in. She couldn't wait to see Nerfball again.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"Great!'' Jory said. He was quite pleased to be able to keep the Puff. he never thought he'd miss it so much. But before following Professor William to the pen, he couldn't help but notice he seemed confused.

Waiting for Professor Williamson to respond again after she and several others had spoken up about adopting their pygmy puffs from the homework, Stella had blinked as the first reaction they'd gotten from the man seemed to be confusion. He seemed different than he'd been only a couple seconds ago, almost like he'd not only forgotten about agreeing to let them adopt the puffs but also that they had just had a disaster of a lesson. Professors acting weird was never a good thing, not at Hogwarts and definitely not when they'd just finished dealing with yet another random and scary visit from a dangerous creature from the forest. She hadn't been around for any of the other incidents that she'd heard rumors about, but the skrewt had been disconcerting enough.
All she wanted was to retrieve Nuage again and head back to the safety of the castle. Probably all the way up in the common room, although she thought about seeing if Matt wasn't studying or hiding out in his own common room to let him know the good news. She just had to actually make sure the professor didn't forget he'd agreed to let them adopt their pygmy puffs, and she'd smiled as he'd headed back toward the enclosure. Trailing behind him, she thought about picking Nuage up on her own, but paused just in case he didn't want them to. "Thank you, Professor. I promise to take good care of Nuage," she said, still eyeing him the slightest bit. "Are you quite alright?," she added quietly, half in a whisper and hoping that he didn't even hear. Or, at least, that she could just get her pygmy puff and go back to the castle and he'd be fine without her getting in trouble for being concerned.

William started passing out pygmy puffs as if in a trance. Really, he was just trying to focus on identifying the puffs and connecting them with their correct owners, but he was moving so quietly and formally one would think he looked like an old man puttering around his garden or something. Or... or like a stockboy working at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes....?

"Barnabus," he announced, picking up the correct yellow puff and handing it out awkwardly toward its Hufflepuff owner. "Barnbus for you, Ell....Ellie...Eleanor..." Whatever her name was.
"Have a nice day!" He gave the girl a tight smile and moved on to the next puff!person.

He went toward the only gray pygmy puff and held that one out toward the Slytherin boy that had been crying for some reason. "Ducky Duck," the professor announced. "Thank you, have a nice day!"

Prof? "The name's WILLIAMSON," he shouted back at the extremely muddy boy, shaking his head at him as he walked off. Weird kid. He didn't even KNOW William.

"Squeaky Sapphira," William announced next, picking up a bright, snot-green puff. "Here you are. Take good care of her now," he handed the puff to her owner with a serious nod.

She was looking at him funny, though, and that wasn't comforting in the slightest. "Am I alright?" he repeated, blinking suddenly as if to clear his eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine, why?"

Alyssa frowned at Professor Williamson. Was she invisible or what? She had been standing next to him all along. "Uh Professor....Nerfball's mine. Thank you very much." Alyssa thanked him before picking up her cute little friend, kissing his nose in greeting before putting him back into her pocket. She picked up her backpack and got ready to leave but something about Professor Williamson was not right.
So she turned back to him and asked him, "Uh Professor are you feeling okay? You don't look like you're normal self....uh...I mean you still look like yourself, but you look kind of dazed. I didn't hurt you when I pushed you down earlier, did I?"Alyssa asked the Professor concerned that he was behaving strangely. 'I do hope that he didn't hit his head and is now suffering from a concussion or something.'Alyssa thought to herself getting worried again.

Nerida smiled at Professor Williamson, and took Squeaky and said Thank you, Professor! Don't worry I will! She put Squeaky on her shoulder picked up her bag and turned to the Professor and said Thank you again, and I hope you feel better! As Nerida could tell, the Professor wasnt acting like he was good...

Jory couldn't help noticing Professor William looking at him as if he'd never him before. He'd been in all of the classes... he shrugged. He was used to people not noticing him.
"Furball. He's the very deep blue coloured one,'' Jory said.

"Have a nice day!" He gave the girl a tight smile and moved on to the next puff!person.

She was looking at him funny, though, and that wasn't comforting in the slightest. "Am I alright?" he repeated, blinking suddenly as if to clear his eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
As Professor Williamson slowly started reaching into the enclosure to hand out the requested pygmy puffs, Stella took a moment to be glad she hadn't just reached in and picked Nuage up herself. Obviously things needed to be more formal or something of the sort, although she quickly went back to wondering what was going on with the Professor. He wasn't acting normally, or at least he wasn't acting the way she thought she remembered from earlier in the term. It couldn't be that hard remembering whose pygmy puff was whose, after all. Not after they'd all had them for a week and written about them for homework, and then physically had to return them in front of him. Careful was one thing, weird was another. This was definitely not just being careful. Especially not when he was forgetting who belonged to which pygmy puff.
She glanced over at Alyssa for a moment as the pygmy puff returns continued, curious if the Hufflepuff was onto something by asking if the earlier fall had injured the professor. She hadn't heard of people getting confused after being pulled to the ground, especially when he'd seemed fine directly afterward when he'd instructed them on how they were going to get rid of the rogue skrewt. It was all just odd, but then her own silvery-lavender puff was being held out to her and she turned a smile to Professor Williamson. "Your pronunciation was excellent," she said randomly as she took the puff and settled her on her shoulder again, smiling as thehumming started up again promptly. She'd already thanked him after all, and she'd turned to head back to the castle only to stop as he'd responded to her other question.
Turning back for a moment, she blinked as she tried to decide how to respond. "No reason. You just seemed a little... different," she replied softly, trying to get out of the situation wihtout saying anything wrong. "I'm glad to hear you're fine, though. So I'll just head back to the castle then," she continued, a bit louder as her smile returned. "Have a nice rest of your day, and thank you again for letting me adopt Nuage." Once that was said, she turned and started walking. Things were definitely not normal at Hogwarts right now, but she didn't want to inadvertently get involved. Or lose points for innocently asking if professors were alright.

Ella reached out eagerly for Barnabus, taking him gently from the Professor. She looked at him funny as he tried to think of her name. ELEANOR?! Frown. That definitely wasn't her name. Suddenly the badger had a thought, what if Williamson was suffering from that disease?! The one old-erm-older people got that messed with their memory! Oh no. She liked CoMC too much to continue thinking such a terrible thought. She would have offered to help, maybe to go to the healer with Williamson but Alyssa had already mentioned something and Ella had faith in the older badger. "Bye sir." She said, patting Williamson's arm rather lamely. "Thanks again, I'll take good care of him." Meaning Barny. Hopefully someone would take good care of Williamson! What with his old age memory acting up and all.
sorry for not getting this posted sooner. >_< You all are CHAMPS! I had a great term!

She picked up her backpack and got ready to leave but something about Professor Williamson was not right.
So she turned back to him and asked him, "Uh Professor are you feeling okay? You don't look like you're normal self....uh...I mean you still look like yourself, but you look kind of dazed. I didn't hurt you when I pushed you down earlier, did I?"Alyssa asked the Professor concerned that he was behaving strangely. 'I do hope that he didn't hit his head and is now suffering from a concussion or something.'Alyssa thought to herself getting worried again.
William shook his head at Alyssa, at first appearing as if he were answering, 'No,' to her question. But then something seemed to snap in the man and he froze in place for a second, his hands out to pick up the next pygmy puff.
Shaking it off, Williamson appeared to return back to normal. "I'm... I'm fine," he clarified, smiling gently at the girl. "No, not hurt at all. You take care of Nerfball now, all right?"

As Nerida could tell, the Professor wasnt acting like he was good...
And on to the next student. Oh good, they were clearing out the barnyard. He needed to tidy it up before the end of term.
"See you around, Nerida!"

"Furball. He's the very deep blue coloured one,'' Jory said.
"Deep deep blue," Willy repeated, reaching into the pen for the fluffy puff. "Oh there you go." He handed over Furball with a smile. "I can see the reasoning behind his name! Take care now."

Obviously things needed to be more formal or something of the sort, although she quickly went back to wondering what was going on with the Professor. He wasn't acting normally, or at least he wasn't acting the way she thought she remembered from earlier in the term. It couldn't be that hard remembering whose pygmy puff was whose, after all. Not after they'd all had them for a week and written about them for homework, and then physically had to return them in front of him. Careful was one thing, weird was another. This was definitely not just being careful. Especially not when he was forgetting who belonged to which pygmy puff.
She glanced over at Alyssa for a moment as the pygmy puff returns continued, curious if the Hufflepuff was onto something by asking if the earlier fall had injured the professor. She hadn't heard of people getting confused after being pulled to the ground, especially when he'd seemed fine directly afterward when he'd instructed them on how they were going to get rid of the rogue skrewt. It was all just odd, but then her own silvery-lavender puff was being held out to her and she turned a smile to Professor Williamson. "Your pronunciation was excellent," she said randomly as she took the puff and settled her on her shoulder again, smiling as thehumming started up again promptly. She'd already thanked him after all, and she'd turned to head back to the castle only to stop as he'd responded to her other question.
Turning back for a moment, she blinked as she tried to decide how to respond. "No reason. You just seemed a little... different," she replied softly, trying to get out of the situation wihtout saying anything wrong. "I'm glad to hear you're fine, though. So I'll just head back to the castle then," she continued, a bit louder as her smile returned. "Have a nice rest of your day, and thank you again for letting me adopt Nuage." Once that was said, she turned and started walking. Things were definitely not normal at Hogwarts right now, but she didn't want to inadvertently get involved. Or lose points for innocently asking if professors were alright.
Williamson only vaguely noticed that Stella was talking at him oddly, and loudly. He wasn't THAT old, people, he was barely thirty!
"You're welcome," the tall man responded simply. "See you around... Ms. Gardiner." See, he knew her name and EVERYTHING.

Suddenly the badger had a thought, what if Williamson was suffering from that disease?! The one old-erm-older people got that messed with their memory! Oh no. She liked CoMC too much to continue thinking such a terrible thought. She would have offered to help, maybe to go to the healer with Williamson but Alyssa had already mentioned something and Ella had faith in the older badger. "Bye sir." She said, patting Williamson's arm rather lamely. "Thanks again, I'll take good care of him." Meaning Barny. Hopefully someone would take good care of Williamson! What with his old age memory acting up and all.
"Ella," William frowned a bit at the pat on his arm. "Er, yeah, bye. I trust that you will." Take good care of the puff, he meant.
Anyway. Time to lock up the barn. Willy shooed the last few students out and then started carrying pygmy puffs back to his office so he could get them out to WWW later.
