So it looked like Angel would be working with them too. Adi didn't mind. He shot her a sort of nervous look, wondering if she had told AJ about him being in love with her. Which was not true, thank you very much. Angel thought she knew stuff. Yep.

That's what Adi liked about AJ. She always had a smart, funny comeback. He laughed. "So pleased I could put your restless mind at ease.'' Alright, time to get started on this activity. He glanced from AJ to Angel. "Any clue as to what scenario we should portray? And how we should portray it?'' He was up for any scenario. Portraying it was a whole different matter.

AJ caught the look that Adi gave Angel and couldn't help but to be curious as to what that was about. Maybe their little tiff with Benny was still fresh? The possibilities were endless, and she decided that she wouldn't waste energy thinking about it right now.

Smiles, she was all smiles. "Now I know who to go to when I can't sleep." Adi was dead useful. The lion could sit here and jab at Adi all day, but they had work to do. Work that should actually be fun.

Now it was time to start spitting out ideas. A few actually did come to mind. "We totally need a Yeti." any takers? CoughAdiCough. The professor did mention that there was a craft box so they could make one of them look like a yeti. The next order of business included singing. "We can sing a song about how the yetis are misunderstood while our very own yeti is looking all emo and depressed." Were they on the same page as her so far? "Then we can dance around and try to cheer him up by saying nice things about him."

"What do you guys think?"

Angel looked at AJ and beamed. "Yeah that would be awesome." Angel suddenly had the best idea. "Adi, you be the Yeti and AJ can say nice words about you and maybe do a few other things." Yeah because they were so in love and Angel didn't care what they both said, they looked like she did every time she thought about Benny, which reminded her, she hadn't spoken to him for awhile which was such a shame. "And I'll just do some random dancing." Angel thought that was the best plan, now what did the love birds say?

Smiling, laughing and grinning was something that Adi did a lot of but those three always seemed to multiply whenever AJ was around. Now he was laughing once again at her next comment. "I can sing you a lullaby or read a bedtime story too.'' Hehe.

The Hufflepuff listened to AJ's suggestion. Aw darn. It involved singing and dancing. But...what if he took up the part of being Yeti? He wouldn't have to sing or dance, right? Hmmm. Just because he was into music meant he liked to do either. His vocals weren't that good and his dance moves were worst still.

"Alright. I'll be the Yeti.'' Now he was getting all enthusiastic about this. "We've still got to come up with lyrics for the song.'' So, yeah. Maybe they could get started on that.

And this right here was why History of Magic was fast becoming one of her top favourite classes besides Astronomy and Potions.

Acting in the small play they had performed last lesson had shown her just how fun acting could be. And now they got another chance to relive history through creative expression.

After jotting down what was on the board, it was time for her to start with the group work. Well, she needed a group first. Scanning around the room, she tried to find someone who would want to work with her. "Anyone want to work with me?"

Ohh, another cool lesson! Sophie loved History of Magic class now. Before, it was just regular old History and most of it was quill and parchment work. The last few professors did great, but this professor was all about some fun skits and things like that. This class was AWESOME.

...but before the awesomeness could begin, Sophie needed either a partner or a group.

"Anybody need a partner? Or...a group?" she asked. She felt lame, like she was asking for friends. Heh. She looked awkwardly around the room hoping there was still somebody out there who needed somebody to work with.

Oh nooooo! Not a group project. Jasmine really did not feel like doing the group thing. Couldn't she just do something by herself? Unfortunately the answer to that was probably no. Jasmine had no idea how to creatively express the woes and troubles of the Yeti. This whole project was going to be very difficult.

Then there was the matter of who she could work with. Looking around the classroom, she just didn't know. With a sigh, Jasmine tried to come up with some ideas. Drawing a complete blank so far......

Small groups? His eyes immediately and instinctively scanned the room for Simon. If Kevin hadn't been kicked out... The Gryffindor might have considered asking his detention-prone friend to form a group, but alas Kevin will always be Kevin. Anyways, he needed a group, worrying about Kevin would come later.

Right then. Just as the Gryffindor got up and out of his chair, he noticed a girl asking around for a partner. Ah, he needed one. Wait a minute, was that the Newell girl he had spotted Grayson chatting up? Hm. Interesting.

The Gryffindor walked up shyly and offered her a smile. "I'll work with you?"

So..................... pretty much Professor History LOVED Zahra. SHE WAS SO INSPIRING. YES HISTORY. YES YE YE YE YEEEETI! Less yay for whatever this CHORT thing was!

Zahra went right to work, ripping out a rough sheet of parchment. She put her head down to her paper, DREW UP A MASTERPIECE, and taped it right to her face. She had made.... a Yeti Mask.




"'ELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS BRUCE. I AM A YETI. I WILL BE TAKING QUESTIONS NOW. UNLESS YOU ARE A SLYTHERIN, THEN YOU CAN KINDLY GO PUT YOUR HEAD IN A POOPER BECAUSE THE HOUSE CUP BELONGS TO GRRRRRRRRRYFINDOR THIS YEAR! YAAAAAARRRRRRR GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!"

The smile never left AJ's face. Without missing a beat she said, "Not going to give me nightmares, are you?" He set himself up for that one. Could he even sing? She would soon find out because whether he knew it or not, she had plans on him singing during their presentation. Having her buddy back was such a good feeling.

Peeling her eyes from Adi, she looked at Angel as she put in her two cents. Okay, so it seemed like they were all on the same page here. "Awesome." Then Adi agreed to be the yeti. YAY! This was going to be so much fun. "Can I dress you up, and make you a more convincing yeti?" Angel could help too so that could get that part done quicker.

"We can do some lyrics that rhyme." Now, what would they be. Hmm... She pulled out a spare piece of parchment and scribbled down some things. Quill in her mouth, she contemplated what lyrics would sound good together.

That was all that she could come up with right now. She needed input from her peers. She turned the paper around so both Angel and Adi could see what she had. "What do you guys think? Any more ideas?" Help!

Was that Sophie Newell looking for a partner?

Simon eyed his surroundings briefly looking for a certain fourth year Slytherin that he ALWAYS found sitting with that girl. When he couldn't see Grayson, Simon made his way over to Sophie to offer to join her. His eyes widened when he saw the Zander was there too. "Sure, I'll join you guys!" he exclaimed with a grin. "That is, if you'll both have me of course."

The boy had a good feeling about this team. A very good feeling.

Scenario? No, no... Mo was 100% sure that the yeti was an overprotective parent, but it was obvious he was the only one who believed it. For now. Maybe he could find a partner who believed that too?

Or at least understood how amazing yetis were.

Other than Kettleburn, because she was frightening and the fangs on her drawing were obviously disproportionately large and therefore designed specifically to cause alarm. Fear mongering. Kettleburn was a fear mongerer.

Instead, Mo tapped Maddie on the head. "Be in my group, little buddy?" Little buddies were the easiest minds to mold to your will, y'know?

Sophie shifted her weight from one foot to the other. Waiting on a partner was awkward, but at least she didn't have to wait long. ZANDER had arrived to the rescue! Sophie didn't know Zander too well, but her friends were friends with him, so that made Zander a friend, too. "Yeah, cool," she said, grinning at him. She was just about to start talking to him about what he wanted to do for their assignment and final, when Simon joined in, too. "Of course we'll have you," she said to him. "So it's the three of us then."

She may have also scanned the room for Grayson, kind of wishing he made group member number four, but she didn't really want to make it too obvious.

"Anybody have any---..." Pause. "...ideas?" Her eyes had randomly landed on Zahra Kettleburn. So the Gryffindors wanted a little competition, hmm? Heh. Turning back to the boys, she said, "Let's do something funny--like that scenario about the hikers finding strange footprints. Or a funny song, heh." She wasn't much on singing, but she bet they could make some awesome lyrics.

Jasmine saw her classmates starting to form groups and she wasn't sure what to do. Still wanting to go solo, she knew that she would have to approach someone about being in their group. Looking around the room one more time, she saw Lux asking for people to work with her.

Jasmine walked over to Lux. "Is it OK if I work with you? I'm in need of a group." She hoped that Lux would agree to partner up with her. Jasmine also hoped that she would get some sudden inspiration and her mind would be flooded with great ideas. Well she could hope, couldn't she?

The Professor had said a lot and Kyroh had been listening but he hadn't exactly been digesting if that made sense. It was just a LOT to take in at once. He KNEW they had to do yeti stuff and get in groups so THAT made sense to him.

The first year looked around and frowned as Zahra started, well, yelling. And being Zahra and NOT a yeti. Choosing to IGNORE her he continued to look for someone who needed a partner.

OH Grayson was just there alone! Though....he was a Slytherin, and Kyroh had been avoiding that lot. Especially since....well Grayson was friends with Cutty. Hesitant, Kyroh stood up and walked over to the Slytherin. He stood there for a bit. Looking at the other boy. Blinking. Blinking. Until finally he found his voice. "Uhhhh If I need a partner, and you need a partner. D'you want to be partners?"

Group work was SORT of like survival of the fittest in that those who HAD something to offer were partnered off FIRST and those who DIDN'T were left to face the world ALONE. From the LOOKS of things, Maddie was going to guess that one Gryffindor lunatic wasn't so FIT. What was she DOING, anyway? Bruce was so not a proper yeti name.

You know who WAS fit? Er...meaning smart, not fit like good looking 'cause ew, he was MO but yeah. ANYWAYS- Mo was SMART and mentally stable so when he practically begged asked to be partners, the first year nodded enthusiastically.

"Sure thing, BIG guy." P.S. she wasn't THAT little. "Got any awesome ideas?"

Little partner person got a huge grin, and Mo immediately scooted his desk over to sit next to her. His voice was low and conspiratorial, mostly 'cause he didn't want anyone to steal all their good ideas. Assuming, of course, that they had some good ideas.

"Well. I think everyone is going to do skits or act things out, because it's easiest and the very most basic way to relay information. Nothing wrong with that, but yetis are epic and I want to do a bit more, y'know?" Show his devotion in the most overt of ways. And respect the majestic yeti, because people like Kettleburn were smearing their good names through the yellow snow.

"What if we... made a diorama? We could make a yeti and a cave or mountainside nad... what scenario interests you the most?"

Oh Merlin.

OH FREAKING MERLIN.

You know what this meant? They had to ACT. And PERFORM. Grayson scowled at that option as he eyed the list of scenarios on the board. Even worse was the interpretive DANCE option. DANCING. He didn't dance, not for anyone. And not only did they have to perform, they had to do it in front of the CLASS. What?! He was going to make a right ol' fool of himself.

Not as much as the girl over there who was wearing a mask and calling herself Bruce the Yeti. Lol. LOOOOOOOOOL. This House Cup competition was getting FIERCE, wasn't it? So enticing and exciting and--

Oh 'SUP. It was Strong Kyroh. Heeeeeeeeeeeeey. Why was he looking at him like that? As if Grayson had something on his face. The boy reached up and patted his own face right........ as......... the dude asked about being partners. Thanks for making a fool of yourself, Whitty. "Oh yeah, partners! Sure, man! We're going to make a great pair." It was decided. Kyroh was a good kid, as was Dragon Boy!Dima. It was just the bushy haired one over there that he didn't get along with. "How good are you at acting? Unless you wanna try something else?"

This made him the Yeti, didn't it? Freaking great. Yetis were ugly and he was a hottie, according to Soph. This was going to be a problem.

Maddie approved of the quiet talk as she LIKED to be the best and you simply couldn't be that when people were trying to jack your ideas, y'know? And so she LEANED in and listened to ALL the things Mo had to say attentively. He WAS the yeti expert, after all. MHM!

"Yeah, a diorama would be different!" Unique just like them! Maddie tried to keep her voice down too but the fact that Mo was giving her a say was pretty exciting, just saying. "And maybe...we could use fire? Like MAYBE the yeti fears fire because some careless campers set his home on fire by leaving a camp fire unattended." And THAT explains his fear AND his anger, right? RIGHT?

She was clearly a genius.

She listened to the students answers after the Headmistress had taken Kevin out of the room. They had some great answers to Nessa's questions. How smart the students were, not that she didn't already know this. They were just brilliant in her lessons as well. She jumped when the young lion jumped on her desk, but snapped at her performance.

Thinking about her lesson she remembered she was gong to get some hot chocolate before coming to the classroom. Oh well she'd grab some later. Focusing back on Nessa as she spoke, she grinned at how brilliant her bestie was at teaching. She snapped a bit at the excitement, but hurried to stop thinking she was probably being a distraction.

OHMYGOSH!!!

They were going to do group work! Oh Cassie was thrilled to get to see this. She snapped more when she saw Zhara with a mask being a Yeti. "OH GOSH, what a creative idea." She snapped more! This was just sooooo fun!

Hmmm, no one was answering her. Lux was starting to wonder if it was a good idea to stand on top of her desk and try to get attention that way; with all the people getting in groups around her, it seemed as if she hadn't been heard.

But then Jasmine came over! Lux really liked her so this was awesome. Not as awesome as working with Bay, but then no one came close to Bay in her mind. "Of course it's okay! This will be SOOO much fun!" She was uber excited to do this. EEEEP! "Would you want to do a dance? Or we could make a poster. Or do a skit." Lux was not very picky here, but she was not experienced in making speeches and had never written a song before.

Oh, fire. Now fire would be very special, especially in a tiny, contained diorama, but it wasn't a hard spell at all. It was just that Mo really wanted to put in the baby yetis, and the fire thing might be really distracting.

Maybe they could do both? There wasn't any reason why they were limited to only ONE scenario, right? "Yeah. Yeah, let's put in a fire and a careless camper, and also, I think we should put in a baby yeti sleeping inside the cave." Complicated? Yes. But completely awesome.

"Let's get our supplies and we can start construction. How do you feel about paper mache for the mountainside and cave?"

Yeah. Kyroh had decided. Grayson didn't LOOK mean. Or SEEM mean. Though neither had Cutty. They had both worked with him to help with the garden but Grayson SEEMED nicer, right?

Yup.

Grayson good. Cutty bad.

"Actings sort of like lying isn't it?" LAST time when they had acted in the class, Kyroh felt like he had done a good job, but that was because he had been given a SERIOUS character. Screaming beach goer. "I guess I'm okay even If I don't lie. I'd rather do THAT." He POINTED to the word interview on the board. "I can even be the Yeti if you want." Kyroh made a growling face. YETI ROAR! "Or you can be him. Or we can do a debate! Or make a song! Or anything." ANYTHING. Kyroh's lips tugged into a smile. See how helpful he was at narrowing things down Grayson?......please don't send bugs to attack him.

[QUOTE=PhoenixStar;11643360]Angel was trying to figure out what they could do and she came up with a song for the Yeti.



Angel handed the parchment to her sister and just hoped her sister or AJ wouldn't laugh at the work, but she wasn't sure because now she was thinking about it the song was a bit wacky but well that was what this was supposed to be. "So what do you two think about it?" Angel was getting ready for the worse news ever now.

Right. Activity time. Sad, because he had to drop his role as the famous detective. Ethan looked around and pretty much everyone huddled and formed little groups…and he was…well, left alone.

Blink.

His eyes landed on the Gryffindor pretending to be a Yeti named Bruce, who is now up for an interview. But then, he’s a Slytherin…does that mean…no. There’s another way around this. Ethan got a piece of parchment, drew the most beautiful female Yeti, and taped it on his face.



“BRUUUUCCEEE!!! YOOOOHOOOO!!!” Ethan may have batted his eyelashes behind the mask as he greeted the Gryffindor with a female voice. “I HAD MY WHISKERS DONE. DO YOU LIKE IIIIITTT???” Well, from what he gathered from the book, Yetis want to be left alone…Ethan then wondered how in Merlin’s socks they multiplied. Hmm?

Oh and…it’s so weird to act as the girl in this interview-slash-skit(?) Just saying.
