Wait a minute, did the professor say ICE CREAMMMMM!?!?!?!?!?!?

He was SO IN. He could take as much as he wanted. Well he forgave her for being late since he got SO many cartons of ice cream. He felt like he was in heaven. He smiled and licked his lips. His sweet tooth was watering. He even managed to hear what they were gonna be learning about. They were gonna learn to keep their ice cream cold. That would be an interesting spell to learn. Especially for ice cream lovers like this little puff.

He even noticed the Professor was kind of...jittery? Like she was on a sugar high. He quite liked it. That was usually his personality like 24/7. He got up from his seat and got his own bowl of Ice cream and started to scoop some into his bowl. He took one....two....three....and then his fourth scoop and then sat back down.

This was gonna be a GREAT lesson. He could already tell. Even the professor was in a good mood!

????????????

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, Sky was joining West in his eying of the smiley face, Professor Knox and the ice cream. Seriously. She was going to be scarred for life after this term, she just knew it. All over something that people aren't supposed it be scared of. Really, Hogwarts? Next time, make sure you get your ice cream from Ben & Jerry's, not some unknown off brand. Anyway, Sky reluctantly got up and fixed herself a small bowl of vanilla and sat back down, eyeing the ice cream suspiously.

WELL.

Alright.

She wasn't going to say NO. Besides, ever since Astronomy and the not cool no ice cream thing, Cat had been waiting and waiting for a legit ice cream proposal and here it was. It was legit. Although they weren't technically supposed to be eating it so that was a little sad, right? ALSO... why didn't she say anything about the weird smiley face? Huh? This needed an explanation. Either way, she filed up like everyone else and took a bowl of ice cream back to her seat.

ICECREAMICECREAMICEEEEECREAM.

Anya, in less than a flash of an eye was at the ice cream. She scooped everything in sight. (What? She said they could have as MUCH as they wanted. And Anya wanted loaaaads.)

"Thank you Professor." she said happily before retaking her seat.

She then take a bite. Or two. Or four. before deciding she should probably wait and actually learn whatever allowed her to start eating again.

Wade was sitting in his seat, and after seeing Professor Knox, he braced himself for class. His brows furrowed at the sight of carts that she dragged with her inside, along with the happy look on her face. Hmm, wonder what's-

Wade replayed her words in his head.. quite a few times. Each time his smile grew:

:>

:>>

:>>>

:>>>>

It took a lot in him to not burst in excitement. For all he knew, it could be a trick.. until he actually saw the bowls and ice cream being shown. Okay, Professor you win. He got up to get himself a couple helpings of scoops of the vanilla ice cream "Wow, thanks Professor!" Could they eat it now? Sitting down, Wade looked back up incase they had to do anything else beforehand.

Nigel was not really in the mood for ice cream. But since this was the lesson. Nigel walked up, took his bowl, and put a scoop or two in it.

Nigel walked back to his seat. Well now he had ice cream

Sigh.

At least he was going to learn how to keep things cool. That will be useful in the future.

Charms and Kat and ice cream. It was definitely a good combination.

Whatever they were doing, as long as it involves food, Erin would be too happy. The Professor seemed perky too, about the lesson. Which made Erin even more perkier. However, that huge smiley face on the board still looked weird. Seems like someone's watching. On the other hand, the smile somehow sets a happy mood.

She went over to the front and took a cup of ice cream, taking as many flavors as she can.

Does stacking them up have something to do with their melting temperature? Anyways, after getting what she needed, she quickly returned to her seat beside a Fruttie.

Why was Cat poking her?

Alice would have bitten her finger if it wasn't for the fact that Knox entered just then with.. ICE CREAM? The fifth year hopped up immediately, forgetting about poking for a second and shoving her way past people because SHE wanted ICE CREAM first. ICE CREAM, though. In class? Knox was the BEST and she wanted all the flavors. Like, all of them. Even if there wasn't jelly slug. After she'd piled up her bowl full with scoops, there just wasn't enough space.

Second bowl? Why not?

The professor wouldn't MIND, right? Because ICE CREAM? Alice was taking THREE BOWLS, then. YEAH.

...ice-cream...

Forrest wanted to vomit right onto that smiley face. But being the good student he was, he didn't. Instead, he simply got up and grabbed a bowl, got two scoops of strawberry (it was his least favourite flavour--if he got the one he didn't like, he wouldn't eat it) and sat back down. And then eyed some older students in confusion with occasional glances at the (disoriented?) professor and the smiley face.

.............

Yes, their Charms professor has gone nuts.

Kat blinked for a while, trying to collect her thoughts and MAKING SURE that Professor Knox was normal. What had ice cream done to people? Although at first Kat liked the idea of it in their daily meals but now she was just super sick of it. And also because Quidditch. HELLOOOOOO, did people forget that tiny fact that their Quidditch Captain absolutely hated ice cream? And cupcakes, for Logan reasons. But stiiiiill. Dairy products, sheesh.

But no choice. The prefect went over to get a bowl and got just ONE scoop of ice cream. Like... one. At least, right? They were tasked to get ice cream anyway. And...eat it. Kat stared at the ice cream. Uhm..........................

Err. No.

Ice cream. Again. Why? Not that she minded...but it was beginning to be just a bit much.

Anyways, the red head knew this would at least hopefully be more educational than just eating ice cream. Keeping things cold, could be important...or not because Ness couldn't actually think of when she'd ever need that, but heh. You never knew, an ice cream eater probably used it on a daily basis.

With her usual pout, Nessie got up from her desk fetched a good amount of ice cream. She then returned to her desk, plonked down and watched the ice cream kind of wanting to take a spoon, but she restrained herself till further instructions.

Albeit the smiley face on the board was STILL creeping Beezus out, Professor Knox's sudden appearance paid for it and next thing she knew, the whole feeling of being creeped out had been marred away from her and she was left with a grinning face when the woman announced what their class was going to be all about.

ICE CREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

Beezus beamed, applauding their Professor the carts of ice cream.

Her most favorite thing in the world. Well....one of them....nah, REALLY... it's been garnering the first place for a while now. Ice cream was just that awesome....and cold.....and yummy....and it can make her tummy flutter with excitement and..........has anyone noticed the weather? It was perfect~! Just like the ice cream.....so perfect and asdfghjkllsmg;ldm;lgd.

And yeah....without further ado, the Ravenclaw Prefect rose from her seat and fell in line to grab herself a bowl of ice cream. One scoop, two scoops, three scoops, four scoops.....COULD SHE HAVE TWO BOWLS?! Meeep!

Slowly, she opened her eyes and groaned. What was wrong with everybody? Why was professor Knox talking SO OVERLY HAPPY?! She hated it! With a SUPER annoyed look in her eyes she looked at the professor and she sighed. It was not fair from her to show her irritations to professor Knox OR anyone else in this class, it was not their fault that she was in a bad mood so she tried to calm herself and sighed. She straightened her back and looked back at professor Knox but what she saw next wasn’t making it easier for her. She had ice-cream with her! What was wrong with this school? The second year old looked again annoyed and she had more and more trouble to keep her mood not too dark now that she heard that the lesson was about ICE-CREAM! What was so important about ice-cream that she needed to learn how to cool it? This was stupid…

But, because she didn’t wanted to act like a stubborn first year she did what the professor wanted and grabbed some ice-cream. The ice-cream she had grabbed was green with some purple spots in it, and she had really NO idea what flavor it was, not that she liked ice-cream and cared about it…

Alec grinned at Ells and opened his mouth to say something when... another happy person entered the classroom. Or, quite a few happy people at that. But Professor Lady was here and she didn't look scary or anything at all! And was that... no...

ICE CREAM! This was going to be an AWESOME class, wasn't it? GRIN GRIN GRIN.

Alec sat up a little straighter, his eyes taking in all of the bowls and cartons of ice cream. It all looked VERY colourful and delicious and the sixteen year old could feel his tummy rumbling just a bit. And Knox was right; learning how to keep your ice cream cold was a VERY important spell to know. He approved. And Knox got mental praises for her awesomeness. Nodnod.

Wait, they can get some? And take as much as they like? ... Was he allowed to be greedy or...? Shrugging, the boy bounded happily towards the front of the classroom. "Thanks Professor!" he said, grinning at her before turning his attention towards the ice cream. He scooped a couple of scoops of different flavours of ice cream before bounding back towards his seat.

HOW. AWESOME. WAS THIS? GRIN.

How to keep your ice cream cold?!

WOAH that sounded like a useful skill. Theo propped up in his chair and was suddenly feeling much more eager to begin. He got up quickly to grab a bowl of ice cream, then sat back down to tuck in. Professor Knox was in an awfully good mood today.

Nom nom nom.

Green eyes snapped to the door as Professor Knox walked.. and he simply stared at her for a moment. This was so unlike the Charms professor.. of course, he didn't know her all that well, this being her first term at Hogwarts, but her behavior was something so different from what he had come to expect. He was saying that a lot lately about quite a few people, wasn't he?

And he knew why.. it was that blasted ice cream. He had never been so thankful that he hadn't eaten it at all this term.. and had realized what it had done before he had the chance. He just wished someone would take his concerns seriously. And now he couldn't be more certain that Professor Knox was among those affected by it.

"......................."

She could not be serious.

Ethan put his head in his hands for a moment, unable to believe what this lesson was about, and feeling like he was losing his mind.. in a very different way from those on the ice cream. Amidst the excitement from the ice cream zealots, Ethan glanced towards the door with fleeting thoughts of leaving class. But his prefect responsibilities made him feel obligated to stay. As long as he did not have to drink the Kool-Aid eat the ice cream.

He glanced to his side to see Minerva bouncing with excitement over the subject of today's lesson and he supposed he shouldn't be too surprised. Not that it made him very happy.. he was doing his best to help her through this and Knox certainly wasn't making his job any easier. Not to mention the fact that Min had seemed to throw all the concerns he had out the window again, just when he thought he was getting through to her. Maybe it was the ice cream doing it, he didn't know, but it only served to increase his frustrations again.

Ethan reluctantly got up from his seat and walked up to the front, falling in line behind some of the other students. He took a scoop of the closest ice cream he could get, not paying any attention to the flavor since he wasn't about to eat it and made his way back to his seat. Let's get this over with.. he wanted as far from this ice cream as possible as soon as he could.

Forget about Knox, Aidan watched the ice cream carts coming into the room with greedy eyes. Was she gonna let them eat it? Was she going to torture them by NOT letting them eat it? Was she going to torture them by letting them eat it but making them wait? Was she going to torture them by eating ALL the ice cream HERSELF while they were only allowed to sit and watch?

HOLY MERLIN SHE WAS GOING TO LET THEM EAT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wasted no time jumping out of his seat and rushing to the carts, piling his bowl HIGH with ALL the different flavors. Though he would certainly very much appreciate what they were going to learn today, he didn't hear. At all. There was ice cream to be eaten.

BEST. CLASS. EVER!

^____________^

Ella BEAMED at her teammates who were sitting nearby and BOUNCED when she heard what they'd be doing. Now THIS was a useful charm to know. The blonde poked Alec gently in the arm, smiling at him. Did he HEAR what they were doing too? JHFJHDJLKHDLKDH! This was BRILLIANT!

The blonde hurried up to the front and scooped a bowl FULL of ice cream, grinning stupidly as she did. "This is brilliant, professor, THANKS!"

And...could they eat some NOW or?

BEAM. BEAM. BEAM.

Sarah looked us the teacher entered. ICE CREAM!!!!!!!! Wow... what an array. Yumyumyum.

Sarah sat down as the teacher said, then stood up and went to get some. Usually Sarah would take small portions to make sure there was some for the others, yet now she had an invitation to take as much as she wanted.
One scoop, two scoops. three scoops.
She piled on the flavours, as after all they were learning a spell that would prevent it from melting and mixing so why not

Not to mention, it was cheap and nasty stuff.

Michael followed behind an older Slytherin kid and did exactly what he did. Put the smallest amount of ice cream into a bowl and then went back and sat down. If anyone knew about something shifty going on it would be a Slytherin.

Hopefully they didn't have to eat it and what would happen if he refused?

....?

Zahra had already eaten a handful of ice cream? She'd gotten excited, okay? And like bowls took more time than scooping in her hand and placing directly in her mouth, but then she got excited AGAIN and got out of line, so now sh was BACK IN LINE and she was LOOKING AT MIKEY BECAUSE....

"You didn't get enough, man. Look. FREE. ICE. CREAM. I'll get you a handful." No problem. She'd do that for him.

"OH MAN! HAHA! GOOD IDEA!" Zahra offered ALICE a STICKY,ICE CREAM HANDED HIGH FIVE YESSSSSSS!!

So since THIS BRILLIANT GRYFFINDOR was going for MULTIPLE BOWLS, Zahra was too. Like, as many as she could carry 'cause Mikey needed more and Zahra knew that ice cream melted fast and she knew that she wasn't the best with her wand ever, so she'd need lots of it and stuff so right..... BOWLS. BOWLS.

ARM FULL OF BOWLS.

And one HANDFUL of ice cream for Mikey, that she DUMPED into his bowl before sitting next to him.

With all her bowls.

...she was literally covered in ice cream. Baha. HAHA.

Ice cream!?!?

No thanks!!

Ariana was having NONE of that, though for lesson purposes she went and gathered a small SMALL bowl of the stuff, and went back to her seat eyeing all the others who were tearing into the stuff as if it were going out of style, there was plenty no doubt, but they needed to calm down..

before she made them calm down


could she have a cupcake instead?

Jory stared. They really could get ice cream? How awesome! Jory followed the other students and grabbed a bowl dolloped some of the delicious treat into it. Four scoops were enough, right? Jory didn't want to seem greedy. "On second thought,'' he muttered. "An extra scoop won't hurt.''

"You are very welcome!" Ivy responded happily to those who thanked her.

Awww, look at those lovely students of hers! Ivy stood behind the cart, practically beaming at all her happy little students as they took ice cream. While the last few students got their ice cream, Ivy spoke up and addressed the class,

"Now, dear students, let's discuss something before we get started. I think you are all familiar with the spell 'Glacius', no?" They should be. Most of them, at least. "Glacius is the freezing charm, yes. Howeeeeeever, can someone tell me why Glacius might not work for this task? Remember; we just want to keep our ice cream cold for a long period of time." Ivy clasped her hands and waited for responses with a cheery smile on her face. She was ever so curious to see what they would come up with!

OOC: Be creative! You'll get points for answering. Class will continue in 8-ish hours.

Michael could only shake his head as he watched his BFF practically bathe in the ice cream. And here he thought that she was smarter than that.

He waited patiently for her to finish getting her numerous bowls of ice cream and the one handful that she unceremoniously dumped in his bowl before she took her seat. Only then did he take out his wand and point it at her. "Don't eat the ice cream Z." He didn't know how to explain it to her, but he just got the feeling there was something wrong with it.

He directed his wand to her ice cream covered hand. "Tergeo." He had been practicing and it showed because her hand was now free of ice cream. "Promise me you won't eat the ice cream." Otherwise he would dump it on her head.

Tobias looked thoughtful for a moment, dipping his finger into his ice cream and licking some off again before he raised his hand. He wasn't totally sure about that spell; he'd never even heard of it... but it was worth a guess.

"Would that spell totally freeze it? So it'd be like a block of ice and uneatable... and then just melt. It wouldn't like... be held in stasis or anything 'cause it'd still respond to the temperature in the environment?"

He lowered his hand and fought the urge to have more ice cream.
