The need to dress warmly is much higher on the morning of the combined lesson. It seems Winter has come much earlier this year, as the air is chilly and thin and there's a bit of a biting breeze that occasionally rolls through. The ground is crunchy with frost and the occasional few snowflakes fall from the cloudy sky. When you approach the Black Lake, you will find that it has completely frozen over, with the help of some charms performed by your Charms Professor. You will also find that there are a couple dozen winged horses lined up on the side of lake, with small carriages beside them. Some of the students may notice behind the two professors is one Thestral. Though, some of the students may not notice it at all.
Fuller is standing beside Professor Thompson by the lake, all decked out in his winter clothes, hands in his pocket with a warm scarf folded tight around his neck. Feel free to greet your handsome professors. You may stand, or you may take a seat on one of the many padded, soft blankets, provided by Professor Thompson, that are laid out on the ground for you if you get too cold.
OOC: Class has now begun! If you’re just arriving, feel free to jump right in, but just pretend like you’ve been here all along!
Kace made it to the lesson. He realized it was colder nearer the lake. He held his scarf closer to his neck. He was a fan of the bitter cold, especially the wind chill. As he made it to the lake, he realized two professors were there. He wondered what they would be learning they needed the charms and care of magical creatures teacher together. Ah well this means excitement for Kace. As he approached he realized he wasn't the only one. He saw other students made it here before him. He smiled to all of them and then said hello the professors. "Hello P-p-professor Fuller and P-p-professor Thompson.."
It was quite cold here. He wished he dressed warmer. He started warming his hands and found a nice soft blanket to sit on. He waited with the others to see what they were going to learn today.
Agatha would never admit this, but she wasn't used to this cold weather anymore, having lived for years in a warm EXTREMELY HOT country. Her Slytherin scarf was doing a great job, though, and she wouldn't freeze to death any time soon. Her hair was down in a beautiful and glowy way, as always. Of course. Always. Always.
"Hello, professors." The third year decided to greet both teachers at the same time, since she didn't know one of them and didn't want to be disrespectful. But Merlin, wasn't that other one handsome! Agatha looked at him for a bit longer than she probably should have, but soon made her way to where her classmates where.
Since when was the Lake frozen? She had been out just the other day and she could swear it wasn't cold enough for it to be completely frozen yet! Or was it? She didn't know anymore about this weather, but she was glad it was the UK weather she had to deal with from now one. The thought put a pleased smile on her face as she waited for class to begin.

Hazel shivered as she reached the lake. "Hello, Pr-prof-fessors," she said. It was a lot colder than she thought. She pulled her cloak towards her freezing skin and made her way over to the spot that seemed the warmest. She picked up a blanket and laid it down on her lap. Maybe she should've brought her fuzzy earmuffs. Yes, those would be helpful, wouldn't they? She promised herself that as soon as the class was over she'd sit by the fire in her common room. And maybe drink a nice warm glass of Apple cider? That sounded nice. But now she had a class to attend. She hoped it was going to be worth the chill.
Zahra tried to stand on his foot then,TO SHOW HIM WHO WAS BOSS, WHO RODE THE BIG HORSE. HER! RAWWRRRR.
"The question is whether or not YOU can handle one of those, Toussaint." CLEARLY. She glanced back towards the professors, then the winged horses, then the professors. "I bet we're just brushing them or something. No way they'll give us permission to ride them."
WHICH was a MAJOR bummer.
Michael gave her a look, not because she was trying to assert her authority by standing on his foot but for her lack of confidence in him.
Could he handle a winged horse?
Does the Bunzinator have red hair?
"If I can handle you Kettleburn, I can handle anything." He watched her look between the winged horses and the Professors and he raised his eyebrows at her. "And when have you ever needed permission to do anything?"

Declan shuffled towards the group. He'll admit that he missed this kind of weather in all his time in California, but it did make him more susceptible to the cold and was now shivering like a chihuahua.
As he joined in the group, secretly lodging himself in between people to steal some of their body heat, his eyes traveled over the sight of the winged horses, the carriages, and then settling on the professors. He heard about their little meet up through the Aparecium. The boy was happy for them, really, but that's their own personal lives. As if he wanted to get involved in professors' lives, pfft.
He smiled at both of them and a few of the people he's met and rocked back on forth on his heels to keep him distracted from the chilly air.
Her sister finally made it over and she with her was Leah. Why was her sister hiding behind her? "Come sit down on the blanket next to me." Animals could sense fear ya know?
Turning her attention to the Hufflepuff. "Those winged horse looking things lined up over there." She was pointing in the direction that they all stood. AJ did not see the threstral though.
Leah plopped down onto the blanket next to the two girls, leaving space for Angel. She was feeling cheerful today, probably because she could feel that they were not going to work with creatures like garden gnomes.
Looking past AJ's shoulder, the second year stared at the horses. "Oh, they're beautiful." she said with dreamy eyes. Returning her gaze to AJ (completely not seeing the Thestral) she asked, "Do you like magical creatures, AJ? What about you, Angel?"

Well, well, well..... what was this? Caterina really tried not to wear a smug little grin when she arrived to the joint class of Professor Facial Hair Fuller and Hottie Javy Thompson and she rather thought she was doing a very good job at it. "Hellooooo, professors." She wiggled her fingers at them both in greeting, but they were very promptly bumped to number two most exciting when she noted the winged horses. Those would always make her think of Mo, and she turned to look for him, bouncing over in his direction and grinning. Did he see them? Did he? They were THERE.
"Hi." She whispered to him, grinning like a Cheshire cat and waiting for the class to start.

There was frost on the ground. How could one hold class outside when it was cold enough to frost? No wait. The word she was looking for was WHY? Because this was ridiculous. Which was also a word that some of her classmates might use to describe how Layla was dressed. She looked more like she was going skiing rather than to a CoMC/Charms combined class. But she didn't care because it was cold out here.
Anyway, she approached the rest of the class, not seeing the Thestral behind the two professors. She did see the winged horses and frozen lake though, and gave them both a raised brow before flopping down on one of the padded blankets provided.
"Hello, professors." Now, why were they out here in the cold?

"If given a chance, I would love to ride the Thestral. Which ones would you choose?"
Sitting with her friends, Jasmine listened to Cris' excitement as he talked about the winged horses and thestrals. "I'm thinking that we won't get to ride them, but maybe we'll get to feed them or tend to them.". When he asked which one they would choose, Jasmine's answer was obvious. "I can't see the thestral, so I would have to choose the winged horses. You can see them?"

When Cris reached the Black Lake he was surprised to see that it was completely frozen over. Yes it had been very cold lately, but not enough to freeze this lake which Cris knew to be very deep. Then Cris smiled. There were Winged Horses including a Thestral grazing behind the Professors.
Yes Cris could see them due to having witnessed a tragic accident when he was about ten years old.
But Winged Horses? Like Sander, he loved working with them back home and Cris hoped that was what they would be working with today.
Walking up to both Professors, Cris greeted both of them with a smile. "Good morning, Professor Fuller, Professor Thompson, although it's cold, it's still nice to be outdoors," he greeted both of them. "Professor Fuller, I'm Cristoffer Strand, a transfer from Durmstrang," Cris introduced himself to his Charms Professor.
Tucking his gloved hands into his pocket, Cris then stood aside and waited for the other students to show up for class. Cris figured that he would stand up for now. Standing up was definitely much warmer than sitting down, even if there were soft blanket provided.
First student! Professor Fuller gave the young man a nod as he approached. ”Welcome. Pleasure to meet you,” he replied to the former Durmstranger with a nod. Always good to steal another one from the dark side.

He smiled to himself, thinking of how his family must have been on the beach enjoying the warm weather back in Melbourne.
As he made his way over to the Lake, he saw the two Professors standing together. Behind the Professors were a lare amount of winged horses by the Lake with carriages beside them. His eyes widened when he saw a magnificent creature that did not look like the rest of the group. Was that a Thestral? he thought as he glanced at it. He'd only read about them in various textbooks, but he had never encountered one before. It reminded him of the car crash... He pulled himself away from that thought. He couldn't think about it right now.
"Hello Professor Fuller. Professor Thompson. I'm Simon Holden," he said as he gave them a shy grin and headed over towards the blankets. He placed his backpack down on the ground gently and tried to look preoccupied by gathering out a textbook. He glanced up and smiled at the other boy who had arrived early then he went back to his business. Simon was a rather awkward child who didn't know how to interact too well with adults. Once he realized that he was one of the first students there, he decided that it would be good to speak to the Professors for they were just people too. "Err.. How are you both on this brisk morning?" he said.
Another young man approached and Fuller gave him and. ”Nice to meet you, Simon.” He figured the kid was going to just mind his own business, as most teenagers did, but he actually chose to socialize. ”Rather well,” he replied with a look towards his friend. ”Cold.” You know. The usual.

Reaching the lake, the Gryffindor was slightly suprised that it was frozen over completely. Had it been with the help of magic or was it all natural? Whatever it was, it was cool. "Are we going to iceskate?!" he asked as he turned to the two Professors. Not saying a hello because who cared about hello's? "on...winged horses?"
Well, are they?
Ice skate on winged horses? Ice skate ON winged horses, or ice skating USING winged horses? Good question. ”Ummm... No.” Sorry. Also, hi.

Mumbling to himself, Grayson pulled his scarf tighter around his neck and folded his arms across his chest as he made his way down towards the lake. This was ridiculous. They'd better be doing something fun in the lesson otherwise unnecessarily battling the cold wasn't going to be worth it. He could have been sitting inside by a fireplace and feeding cake to himself but nooooOOOOOooo. He needed an EDUCATION. Which meant coming out HERE where the lake was........
................ Oh merlin, it was FROZEN OVER?!
The fourteen year old hurried down to get a better view of things himself. It really was frozen over! This meant no visit from the infamous squid either. Shame. Instead, there were winged horses. Not baaaaaad. They were MUCH better than the regular ones. Shame that they were pulling carriages. That ruined the effect.
And then his eyes landed on two Professors, one of whom he recognised from the gnome lesson and the other........... he didn't know at all. "Hello, Professors," he said, giving them both a nod before plopping himself down on a blanket. Because he was cold. Freaking freezing, in fact. And this blanket was SOFT. Again, not bad.
”Good morning,” he responded simply. He kind of wished he had a blanket over here now. Man.

Uh, why are those two Professor so far apart from each other. Did something happen. Not like Nigel would ask anyway. None of his business. "Hello Professor Fuller and Thompson" Yeah not going to mistakenly try and call him Professor Facial Hair again. Nope.
Those blankets look way to comfortable for Nigel to stand around waiting for things to start. So down on a blanket he does.
Sweet Laziness.
And then came Nigel. ”Morning, Nigel.”

"Hi, Professors,'' Adi said after he had stared enough at the Horses. Not once did he notice the Thestral. Happily, he went to sit on one of the blankets. CoMC always made the Puffer happy. Plus it was out in the cold.That meant double happiness.
”Goooood morning.” That kid was cheerful.

No other explanations because NO ONE was over-eating ice-cream so things were perfectly safe....in theory. Lex followed the others out to the black lake for the lesson that was meant to be joint, last she heard where she found not only the Professors...but winged horses and...."Is that a thestral from the Forest?" SURE, they could go looking for thestrals in that place but when she did it was suddenly against the rules. PFFFT.
Also. "Good Day Professors." Because you had to remember to be polite, yes?
Oh, look. It was the one whom he had crushed dreams of. Heh. ”Maybe,” he replied with a noncomittal shrug Wouldn’t SHE like to know. ”Good morning, MIss Cambridge.” Since she was being polite.

Soooo was he technically not suppose to be in this Charms class either?
Welp. Too bad. He was here anyways. Making his way down to the lake the first year started running when he saw the WINGED HORSES! Those were COOL! Coming to a halt right by the lake the boy started to bounce. "Hullo Professor Thompson! Hiii other Professor." That taught Charms. Kyroh did not know your name nope. But CHARMS. "My name's Kyroh Scabior. I'm a first year. And I like your hair." I was all MESSY, like his. It was awesome.
Piers watched the little man practically bouncing down the path to the lake. As he approached, Piers thought for a moment that he looked familiar. He squinted at the kid. ”Professor Fuller,” he told the kid. And THAT was when he recognized who the kid was. ”You’re that little booger that drew on my face when I was sleeping, AREN’T you?” He WAS. Him and that redhead! The Bunbury.
But he liked his hair, so, ”Thanks.”

Bundled up warmly, Lux made her slow trek across the grounds towards the lake. It was frozen solid, which meant that Bartholomew couldn't come up and talk to them during the lesson if he wanted to. How sad. But WINGED HORSES. Those definitely made up for no Giant Squid visits. Wide eyed, she stared at the beautiful creatures for a moment before realizing that the Professors were there too. "Hello, Professor Fuller and Professor Thompson. How are you both doing today?"
Excited, she went to find a blanket to sit on while she waited for more people to arrive.
”Good morning,” he greeted the Hufflepuff pleasantly. ”Doing quite well, thank you.”

So here she was. And Merlin, it was cold out here. She tugged her scarf on a little tighter as she reached the class area and noticed the winged horses and thestral. Hmm...maybe this lesson would be pretty cool after all. No pun intended.
"Hey, Professors." They got a nod and then she took a seat on one of the blankets, bringing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around her legs to keep herself warm.
She looked kind of grumpier than usual, but he wasn’t gonna mention anything. ”Morning,” he replied. Maybe she was just cold.

So, he made his way down to the lake and saw a couple of people already there, including the Professors. Did it really have to be outside though? Anyway, he was here, and Tag just gave the Professors a small nod. And no, he wasn't going to be sitting down on those little blankets. He may get too comfortable. So standing up it was.
He got a nod. So Tag got a nod back.

WOW!
Winged horses! The small first year's eyes widened considerably and she watched them for a minute, completely enthralled. She'd READ about them lots but never seen them, not like this. She was going to like this lesson VERY much, she'd decided.
"Hello Professor people!" The brunette wandered over and waaaaved at the two pretty men, eyes shining with excitement cause winged horses. "I'm Maddie Cooper." THE Maddie Cooper. They'd do well to remember her name, MHM!
KYROH! Maddie saw him and immediately headed in his direction cause allies sat together, obviously. "Hiii Freckles." YO. WASSUP?
Professor people? That was new. Fuller quirked an eyebrow. ”Good morning.” She was cheerful, too, wasn’t she?

"Hello Professors," he said with a polite smile. He took his place and began to bounce up and down slightly to try and warm up, hugging his arms and rubbing them to generate heat. He hoped this lesson included an indoor part at some point...
”Good morning, Caleb,” he responded, trying his best not to find the students’ bouncing amusing.

Merlin. Poor Bartholomew Henry.
Soph didn't even pay any attention to the winged horses - she just smiled at the sight of Fuller and Thompson from the moment she saw them. She felt like they were all pretty much on a first-name basis now that she'd eaten their food and swam in their swimming pool - she was certain to take even more advantage of that next summer - but she wasn't going to push her luck. Naw, not when there were so many other students already present.
"Hello gentlemen," was thus her choice of greeting as she approached, flashing them the brightest of smiles before spotting the blankets and lunging on one without further thought, claiming it for herself. And Tobes or Cat or Mo whoever wanted to be cute and cuddly with her and stay warm. Hehehehe.
Sophie was adorable. He had to admit, it was hard for him not to play favorites when it came to her and Toby. They had swam in his and Javy’s swimming pool, after all. ”M’lady,” he replied pleasantly with a small bow in her direction.

When Jasmine saw that the lake was frozen she was puzzled. It was cold, but it wasn't that cold.
"Hello Professors", Jasmine said as she approached the class area. Turning toward the Charms professor, Jasmine introduced herself. "I'm Jasmine Guidry. I'm new here at Hogwarts. It's nice to meet you." Seeing that Cris and Lux had already arrived, Jasmine went over to say hello to them.
Another new face. The Charms Professor smiled at her. ”Pleasure to meet you, Miss Guidry.”

Making his way down to the lake where they were to gather, he saw his classmates already gathered including Adi and both professor's waiting. The sight of the winged horses was exciting though as he got closer and spotted the thestral Ben flinched and stepped back. It was enough to see them before and after the school term, the creatures with a bad rap sometimes still unnerved him with the truth.
The Gryffindor eventually shook it off and finished the journey, settling off to one side. "Good day Professors," he greeted politely before going quiet. His eyes every once and a while flickering to the thestral.
Fuller nodded at the next Gryffindor that came through. ”Morning,” he greeted right back to him.

This is... not okay because Zander definitely did not dress for the right situation. If he had known he would've grabbed a scarf, a heavy coat, a set of thick winter robes, some earmuffs, some thick wintery gloves, some hot cocoa, and a space heater. But by the time he had gotten outside, he couldn't have turned back. Didn't want to be late. Especially because there would be TWO PROFESSORS in this class.
So Zander arrived shivering, goosebumps and all. That's when he spotted the padded blankets on the ground. YES HAZZA THERE IS STILL HOPE! Zander ran and picked a nice heavy looking one and draped it around his body. He looked like one of them kids that use blankets to hide from their parents when they don't want a bath.
Now semi-warm, blanketed Zander waddled up to his professors, waddled is the correct verb here because you try walked around with a giant soft blanket over your head. It's not easy. "Hi Pro-pro-fessor Thompson," he looked up with a smile, and tightened his blanket headdress as he spoke. He waited for a response, but then remembered THERE WERE TWO PROFESSORS HERE and turned to Professor numero two, "He-hello, it's so-so-so c-c-c-cold today."
And then came a shivering mess who almost didn’t greet him. Pfft. WHY was he only wearing a light jacket? ”Morning. We did tell you to wear warm clothing.” It was on the notice board, but apparently he hadn’t read it.

Another little firstie. He smiled at her as a greeting. Would they be riding the winged horses? The Charms professor glanced at them. ”I guess you’ll have to wait and see, huh?” It was a SURPRISE.

Pulling her cloak tighter around her, she might have to use a heating charm soon her hands were freezing.
Half singing half squealing in her little voice, "helllllllllllooooo" frantic waves were coming from the five foot thirty two year old. This was going to be fun and oh..
O_o
She stopped and looked first at the frozen lake, "Piersy did you freeze the lake?" It was so pretty could she walk on it? Then to the horses where her huge normal smile moved to a frown as she felt the overwhelming anxiousness she had been feeling from the creatures around. She rubbed her temples for a moment before pushing the smile back on her face.
"You don't mind me popping into your lesson now do you?" Of course they wouldn't she wouldn't be a problem just observe and watch all the excitement.
As he saw another figure walking down to the lake, he wondered who it was. She looked taller than the average seventh year..... Oh, Merlin. It was her. Was she crashing their lesson?! She looked like she hadn’t seen a frozen body of water in her life. ”Yes,” he replied dully.
Hah. Hahahaha. Did he mind her popping into THEIR lesson? The woman still called him Piersie. [/b]”Errrr....”[/b] Piers looked at Javy. He was gonna let him answer that question.

”Oh, it will be COOL, alright.” PUN INTENDED.

He stood a few feet from Zahra. "Where's your scarf? And gloves?" If she had remembered to wear them then maybe she wouldn't be so cold.
Toussaint got a nod. ”Morning.” Thank goodness he wasn’t deaf anymore.

Another cheerful one, good. ”Hello,” he responded, half as cheerful as her, but it was still plenty cheerful in Fuller’s eyes.

"Hello," she said to her professors. Marisol acted like nothing bothered her, though she really wanted to wrap one of those blankets around herself. "I am Marisol." She'd already said this to Professor Thompson, so that was mostly directed to the Charms dude. What was this, a beauty pageant? The instructors were both dressed not in robes, but fancy Muggle apparel. On that note, Mari awaited further instruction.
”Hello,” he responded to the newcomer. ”Welcome to class, Marisol.”

As the second year walked towards the lake, she saw that she was on time for the lesson. Approaching the professors, she greeted, "Good morning, Professor Fuller, Professor Thompson." Then, finding a few familiar students around, she jogged over to Angel and AJ standing nearby. "Hi Angel, AJ." she said, smiling. "What are you looking at?" the girl asked AJ.
Fuller nodded at her. ”Good morning.”

It was like being a DRAGON, she wanted to shout, but didn't because she was sure the old her students would appreciate her outburst. Their loss, though, because being a dragon was PRETTY awesome, yep. Making her way towards the cluster of students, she rubbed the biting cold from her nose before shoving her hands back in her pockets and waiting for the lesson to start.
Since she was grinning, he gave her a smile. ”Hello.”

It was cold, but not yet enough that the ice would be as thick as it was. Quite well done.
Cutty soon joined the class gathering nearby and sat upon the ground taking advantage of the free blankets. "Hello Professors Fuller and Thompson.", he greeted his teachers. Magical Equines, right? Where was Fern Quimbley? Cutty thought of her as something of a horse.
”Morning, Mister Mordaunt,” he replied to the Slytherin on the blanket.

trying to find his group of friends he said his hello's to the professors "Hello Professors" he said while spotting Lux and some others as he made a beeline towards them.
He nodded to the newcomer. ”Hello, Mister Bay.” Poor kid looked confused, though.

He hated this class. He hated the whole idea of it.
Pulling the nastiest and most bored look he could muster, Ascanius hobbled down to where all of his peers were huddled and found a seat.
The seventh year wasn't saying hello to his professors. Nope. Silence.
............................... Sourpuss, that kid was.

Both of the professor got a polite nod (even Pierson who stole girlfriends) and a small smile. "G'day, Professors. It's awfully chilly..."
But enough about the weather. Those were flying horses. HE LIKED THOSE THINGS, OKAY? Mo glanced around wildly for anyone to be excited with him. Where was Girlfriend?
Hey, it was cupcake girl’s boyfriend. Right? Who, apparently, was great at stating the obvious. ”Excellent observation.” Hi.

Were they going to have a race over the frozen lake?
He turned to where two men were standing and greeted them. “Good day, Professor Thompson!...Hello…sir.” Ethan gave the CoMC professor a wave and the other man a nod. This was going to be his first time attending Charms, and he forgot to check who the other man was. Whoops.
”Fuller,” he said to the kid who obviously didn’t take his class regularly. ”Professor Fuller.” Nice to see you, too.

So after adding a couple of layers beneath her robes, the seventh-year headed out to where the lesson was. Wait? Where exactly did it see on the notice board? Well, she couldn't remember but it wasn't hard since she could see other classmates heading to the grounds as well. She could just follow them hoping they weren't following the HG. Heh.
And she arrived! Good for her fellow classmates who knew where they coming.
The snake's eyes lingered on the frozen lake and the winged horses. YES! SO COOL! "Good day, professors," she greeted the two looking men with a beam before plopping down on one of the blankets.
Fuller nodded at the seventh year as she neared the lake. ”Morning.”

West tugged his scarf up around his ears a bit more and silently waited near the back since he could see over the heads of practically everyone anyway.
Oh, crap.
Odessa.
Piers had NEARLY forgotten about the incident that had happened when West had, for some reason, been around, but seeing his face had brought it right back to the front of his brain. The Charms Professor gave the kid a stiff nod, even though he noticed that the Slytherin didn’t look at them. That was probably a good idea. Yeah. Good.

But she had planned on taking a walk outside anyway to get away from everyone that was horded up in the castle thanks to the cold, and the professors were hot, so why not?
Not to mention she'd been hiding out in her dorms for too long anyway. It was about time she showed her face more in these lessons. Hands in the pockets of her robe, she approached the class silently, a slight nod in the direction of the professors her only greeting as she stood waiting for the lesson to begin.
Nod. Dora got a nod back. Nod.

That had almost made her feel like complaining as she’d headed out toward the lake for the joint class, but she held it back. Complaining wasn’t going to accomplish anything. It wouldn’t make her warmer. Hopefully they’d have some sort of activity that would keep them active and therefore warmer than just standing around outside watching their own breath.
She’d managed to work up a grin for the professors, however. “Hi Professor Thompson, Professor Fuller,” she said, settling onto one of the blankets as her green eyes scanned cross to the winged horses near the frozen-over lake. That looked like they’d be riding, which was okay with her. She wasn’t against that one bit, but for now it looked like they’d have to wait. Waiting meant not going anywhere, so she’d wrapped her robes around herself a bit tighter. She wasn’t planning on spending the holidays sick with a cold.
”Good morning,” he responded to the Ravenclaw simply.

"Morning professors." Adelaide gave both of the very pretty men a smile and a little wave before looking back at the gathering.
She spotted a few of her housemates, giving them each a little nod and a smile. Addi spotted a blanket near Cassia and plopped down with her. "Hey."
He smiled politely back at her with a nod. ”Morning.”

But all thoughts of that cold had disappeared when she'd finally reached the lake where she saw Professor Fuller & Professor Thompson, with the rest of the class.
It hadn't started yet! She wasn't late! What a relief! She quickly gave a slight out of breath, but soft greeting, "Good morning P-Professor F-Fuller..Professor T-Thompson.." She smiled quickly before going to stand by one of the blankets waiting for the lesson to begin. As she did so, she took notice of blankets all around her, probably for the students to sit on. But Josie had other things in mind. Instead she collected the blanket & wrapped it around her tiny shivering body. After doing so that was when she took notice of the winged horses everywhere.
Oh wow..they were certainly quite majestic.
Was she out of breath, shivering, or stuttering? He decided not to ask. ”Good morning,” he responded instead.

Ah well this means excitement for Kace. As he approached he realized he wasn't the only one. He saw other students made it here before him. He smiled to all of them and then said hello the professors. "Hello P-p-professor Fuller and P-p-professor Thompson.."
It was quite cold here. He wished he dressed warmer. He started warming his hands and found a nice soft blanket to sit on. He waited with the others to see what they were going to learn today.
Was he shivering too? It was quite cold. ”Hello.” Stay warm, kid.

"Hello, professors." The third year decided to greet both teachers at the same time, since she didn't know one of them and didn't want to be disrespectful. But Merlin, wasn't that other one handsome! Agatha looked at him for a bit longer than she probably should have, but soon made her way to where her classmates where.
Since when was the Lake frozen? She had been out just the other day and she could swear it wasn't cold enough for it to be completely frozen yet! Or was it? She didn't know anymore about this weather, but she was glad it was the UK weather she had to deal with from now one. The thought put a pleased smile on her face as she waited for class to begin.
Fuller nodded at the newest Slytherin to join them. ”Morning.”

Maybe she should've brought her fuzzy earmuffs. Yes, those would be helpful, wouldn't they? She promised herself that as soon as the class was over she'd sit by the fire in her common room. And maybe drink a nice warm glass of Apple cider? That sounded nice. But now she had a class to attend. She hoped it was going to be worth the chill.
They DID tell them to dress warmly, so... shivering was their own fault. ”Morning,” he greeted pleasantly.

Those would always make her think of Mo, and she turned to look for him, bouncing over in his direction and grinning. Did he see them? Did he? They were THERE.
"Hi." She whispered to him, grinning like a Cheshire cat and waiting for the class to start.
And there was the cupcake girl herself. Except he was kind of SAD that he hadn’t received any this year. Perhaps it was because Alice had graduated last year and Cat no longer had a partner in crime. Sad. ”Good morning, Caterina.” That smile of hers, made him suspicious, though.

But she didn't care because it was cold out here.
Anyway, she approached the rest of the class, not seeing the Thestral behind the two professors. She did see the winged horses and frozen lake though, and gave them both a raised brow before flopping down on one of the padded blankets provided.
"Hello, professors." Now, why were they out here in the cold?
”Hello,” he responded to the last student to arrive. Time to get started!
Once all the students had arrived, Fuller looked past them all to make sure no one else was coming. It was time to get the class rolling! Time to get their brains active so they wouldn’t freeze in their tiny teenage skulls.
”Welcome to class, everyone!” he said loudly, for all to hear. ”As you know, this will be a combined lesson with both Charms and Care of Magical creatures. Charms, taught by myself, Professor Fuller and Care of Magical Creature, taught by Professor Thompson.” He jabbed a thumb in the other man’s direction to point him out. Just in case they didn’t know who they were, since they seemed to have some newcomers and first years there.
Oh, yeah, Cassie was there, too. ”Professor Morgan,” he added, pointing to the blond Divination professor, ”is just visiting today, so be sure to stomp on her toes and stuff.” Haha. She asked for it.
He rubbed his gloved hands together. ”Now, I hope you remembered to dress warmly. We will be out here for the next little while, so make sure you wrap up in a blanket if you get too cold. There’s plenty for everyone.” Thanks to Javy. Good thing he was thinking about the kids, eh?
”So, as you may have guessed, we’ll be talking a bit about winged horses, but we’ll leave that to Professor Thompson in a little bit. We’re going to start with the Charms portion first. So, to get started... What can you all tell me about the Placement Charm? What do you know about it? What does it do? How do you use it? If you have used it before, tell me what you’ve used it for?” Professor Fuller spread his arms, gesturing to the students. Discuss!
OOC: Class has now begun! If you’re just arriving, feel free to jump right in, but just pretend like you’ve been here all along!
OOC: Feel free to use any HP canon and SS canon information you find on the placement charm, as there is information on this spell in both places. Feel free to discuss!

Hope you remembered to dress warm. HA. It was written on the noticeboard, yes. But did people actually read the noticeboard? Because if they did, then Zander was definitely not people. He was more like a mess of goosebumps and shivers and hidden blanket monster. When Professor Fuller also mentioned the blankets the students could use to keep themselves warm, Zander let out a small chuckle. Because he was ahead of the game. HA!
Further covering his head with the soft blanket, Zander listened to the first question of the lesson. Hmm... Charms was definitely a better than Transfiguration and Potions, so he'd actually have to try in this class. The third year eagerly raised his hand, poking it out of his blanket cover. "The incantation for the placement charm is Fixate!"

Hayley was still a bit groggy. It wasn't like she was up late doing homework or anything though she [i]did[i] try to do some. She was really just thinking about Christmas and her sister and not doing much. Well, it wasn't her fault she couldn't sleep. It was her brain. It refused to let her sleep. Yeah, that.
So they were talking about the Placement Charm. She'd heard about that one before. Listening to other people's answers first, she tried to recall what she'd learnt. "It sticks things, Professor?" she said, even though it came out more as a question. There was a reason she wasn't in Ravenclaw, see?
She didn't mind. Hufflepuffs gave better hugs anyway.

Before Jasmine knew it, class was starting and she turned her attention to the Charms Professor. When the Professor asked about Placement Charm, Jasmine's hand went up immediately. "A Placement Charm lets you put an object in a specific place without you having to pysically move it."

Fuller. Got it. Oh wait. Hehe. Is he the guy on the Aparecium? Muehehehe. Ethan kept a straight face and raised his hand as the first question was raised. “A Placement Charm places an object on to something.” That’s it. Easy peasy. Will they be putting on harnesses on the winged horses and stuff? Interesting. Yup.

"Yes unfortunately, I can see Thestrals, Jasmine. Remind me to tell you how come later," he quickly whispered to her seeing that both Professors had come forward to speak.
Cris couldn't wait to get started. O_o the placement charm? He had read about that. Cris waited patiently, allowing the others to share their answers, before he raised his hand and shared his.
"Professors, I've used the placement charm before. I learned how to do it back in Durmstrang and got the chance to use it during my Defense Against the Dark Arts OWLs exam. I had to use it to place a harness over a Kelpie in order to take away its powers. I cast the spell from a distance, first levitating the harness and then tapping the side of it while saying the spell. I've heard that the spell can also be cast just pointing it at the intended target."
....and that was something he hoped they would get the chance to do.

Seeing Bay join the class made Lux even happier. It was always wonderful to see her boyfriend and sit by him and her friends. She was so happy right now. A good thing p, seeing how cold it was. Bundled up in her warm clothes, the girl waved in greeting as one of the new Professprs stopped by, then proceeded to listen to what Fuller had to say.
Placement Charm? That wasn't one she was very familiar with. Raising her hand, she offered something she knew about it. "I know that using a Placement Charm to put a bridle on a Kelpie makes it harmless." An answer covering both Charms and Care of Magical Creatures. Go her.

Placement charms? Penelope didn't really know anything about placement charms, but it was easy to guess what they were used for. "A placement charm is used to put an object where you want to place it."
Even though she was dressed warmly and wrapped in a blanket, Penelope still felt cold. It was always warm where she had come from in California, so Penelope was not used to the cold weather. The ideal weather for Penelope was between 73 degrees Farenheit (about 28 degrees Celsius) and 78 degrees Farenheit (about 25.5 or 26 degrees Celsius). Why was it so cold?
The lake was frozen, it was quite a sad thing to see. Beverly rather liked the water and swimming and skipping rocks and--not fishing. That was an old people's sport. Wrinkling her nose at it and huddling her thick cloak securely around her, she didn't place much importance as to why the lake was frozen solid. It was obvious magic had something to do with it.
The lake became LESS of an importance once her eyes landed on the WINGED HORSES. OH MY MERLIN. WINGED HORSES. The girl almost broke out into a beam at the sight of them. Almost because just as fast, her excitement was half way extinguished when she met white eyes peeking from behind the professors. Her throat went dry.
"Whoa," she whispered lowly. Finding a spot near and somewhat thick kid, she double-backed. She knew that head. Her ever observant skills tingled. Taking step to the side, she got view of his profile. Sitting on a blanket and wrapping another around her (yes, she took TWO), she poked his fluffy side. Squishy. How many layers was he wearing?
"A bit nippy, isn't it, Mordaunt?" she said in form of greeting. Beverly couldn't blame him, she HATED the cold. Her eyes darted back to the professors and the Thestral. Did he see what she saw? HMM?
"Nar. I'm not cold at all. Are yew?" Sass. That boy was sassy and he felt the need to share. Ugh! He looked out toward the professors, but occasionally, perhaps it looked as though he had spotted the Thestral. He had not.

Cutty tore his attention away from Beverly Wayne long enough to shoot a glance over at the blonde witch. Professor Morgan. Step on her toes. A slow, and certainly mischievous smile came about his face.
It ceased, however, and quite suddenly when the Professor asked the question about placement Charms. His well-padded arm and gloved hand was raised. "They're a time saving charm that helps the witch or wizard to move something from it's current location elsewhere. Dead useful." Especially when one wanted to avoid leaving evidence of having touched a thing. "Not only do they save time, but they might also help in situations where yew want to avoid puttin' y'fingaz. Such as when feeding a fanged geranium or other flesh-eating plant."
Placement charms? Lucy didn't know this spell, but she raised her wand and she said "A placement charm is used to put an object in a particular place."

"Hi Boddie!!" Kyroh greeted, waving at his friend. HI. Horses! Look! He was so busy looking at them he hadn't even really looked at the Professors. So when Professor Charms spoke, Kyrohs eyes grew.
The guy with the good hair......IT WAAAAAS THE NAPPING GUY!
"YOU! YOU'RE THE NAPPING GUY!" Grin. He GRINNED. And pointed. But then his grin faded just a bit when the professor called him a booger? "I'm not a booger sir. I'm a boy." Yeah. Big difference. Didn't he see? Was he in trouble now? Did that mean he didn't like him? The first year took a side step, slightly hiding behind Maddie. Just slightly. "And I didn't draw on your face. I told the lady that you didn't need makeup to make you pretty. So I was trying to take the quill off that she put on you to make you pretty." He hadn't put on the lipstick on him either, because lipstick seemed weird. Not even like real makeup.
He should have been happy. He was pretty and everything without makeup.
As for the question, Kyroh raised his hand this time. "I don't know anything about the placement charm sir, but I think it puts something in a place where it wasn't before." He paused and scratched his head. "Though I don't think I saw it in my textbook so I'm guessing someone should place the placement charm there." Come on Standard Book of Spells Grade 1 get your act together.

Angel smiled as she raised her hand. "Professor a Placement charm, Is a spell that if I am right in saying makes one object move to another place without a magical person having to touch it." Angel thought about what she could describe it as. "It's like a muggle magician can move things without touching them." Angel wondered if they were wizards as well or just lucky.
He tore his attention away from Zahra to focus on what the professor was saying. And it wasn't all that exciting to be honest. But he did raise his hand so that he could answer the questions.
"It's used to stick an object in place." Duh! "It's for lazy people who don't want to do it physically." Michael's gaze went back to Z and he grinned. "I have never used it before but it sure would come in handy sometimes." Hehe.

Looking past AJ's shoulder, the second year stared at the horses. "Oh, they're beautiful." she said with dreamy eyes. Returning her gaze to AJ (completely not seeing the Thestral) she asked, "Do you like magical creatures, AJ? What about you, Angel?"
They were beautiful weren't they? "Oh yeah, I'm getting a unicorn as a pet." That was going to happen no matter what she was told. Her thoughts went to the helpful man who was getting her books in the library. Come to think of it... he was one of the professors here right now. The light had just went on in her head. Cool.
----------------------------------------
Oh, the lesson was starting now. AJ ended all conversations and listened to the professors hopefully say for them all to saddle up. He did say that was a surprise so it was a definite possibility. All she knew was that before her years were up at Hogwarts, she was going to ride one of those winged things.
A placement charm? Ummm... she was beginning to wonder if there was some kind of study material that she should have read before she got to school. AJ kept wondering how Angel managed to know things. Maybe her and Abby had been talking. Not wanting to get left behind she took a stab in the dark. "Is it a charm that makes things stay put?" Heh. she used context clues and attempted an answer so that counted for something right?
A placement charm? Norah couldn't think of anything aside the obvious to say, so instead of chancing an answer she rummaged around in her bag to extract and quill and parchment. She realized the obvious issue with this when her search for a surface to place her parchment on failed her, so she stuffed the parchment back into her bag and just listened. Mental notes count for something, right? And anyway, her fingers were too numb to write. A placement charm places things, easy enough.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
So they were getting underway with this joint lesson. Adi didn't mind the Charms part being dealt with first. Save the best for last! And CoMC was the best. Hehe. Okay, Placement Charms. What did he know about those?
Hand in the air Adi spoke up. "It's a charm that can be used to put something somewhere in particular.'' As for using it, he had never gotten around to it.
