Hadleigh stopped at the sign beside the door that told them to make an entrance just like last time. Not really feeling the need to she walked into the room just as she had done for the last class. Moving past some of the others that were standing around she made her way to an empty desk up front. Slipping into her seat she pulled out a quill and some parchment before even looking to where everyone else's attention seemed to be.

"Good morning Professor..." The first year spoke clearly taking in how her Professor looked this morning. How could she not have? With a deep sigh she brushed some hair back behind her shoulders and waited for class to start. She was getting used to everyone not being themselves anymore.

Adi very much wanted to ask Professor Cassie if she had any idea what was wrong with her friend. Was it one of those crazy transformations like they had seen recently with so many that included Benny?

But he didn't get to dwell on that thought because a grumpy looking girlfriend turned up. Adi raised an eyebrow at her greeting. "Hi,'' he said smiling despite of her shortness with him. He had done nothing to upset her, he was sure. His eyes flicked towards Angel. Had AJ had something to do with her sister's new look? He'd ask her later.

Oh, Heeeey, Benny! Adi grinned at his bestie and watch him go off to sit next to Angel. Now his attention was back on Glendower.

Oh, okay. She was ready for this. She was going to knock off The Boy's socks with her wit and charm. First, the punchline to her clever joke, then something amazing and self-deprecating about class, and then... something else. She obviously needed more lessons to know what came next, but she could be amazing for now.

"I... it's..." He was smiling at her. Maybe he already thought she was clever? "I forget. Material, I guess?" No, that was wrong. She was wrong. Not clever or witty or charming. Ruined by smiles.

Siiiigh. "Nevermind." Dot slid out of the seat and took one across the aisle.

If Kyroh had his eyes open he MIGHT have noticed that the Professor looked completely different. But he didn't have his eyes open. His eyes were closed. Because he was making an ENTRANCE you see.

Super-all-seeing entrance.

Managing to walk through the door safely the second year turned and collided right into a chair. His hand fell to his thigh and his eyes ALMOST flickered open. Instead of giving up however he slowly made his way around the chair, pulled it out and sat down.

Bam. That was exactly how Spiderman would have done it.

SPOILER!!: Greetings

Oh it was time to begin! Nessa looked up with a big smile as the first of the students walked in. Oh.. one of the twins. Was it Angel or Aubrey.. Aubrey or Angel? Nessa thought a moment. She remembered a recent class that had Aubrey and Adi walking.. well, dancing.. in together. She thought they might even be boyfriend and girlfriend. How cute! And, even though young love was often fleeting, she would take the chance that this girl was not Aubrey based on that observation alone. “Hello.. Angel?” Nessa was still smiling positively, though there was a bit of a question in her voice. She hoped that she guessed correctly. But her smile soon faltered upon hearing the girl’s next words. “Oh.. why not?” She thought it was a lovely day and her brown eyes followed the Gryffindor as she went to her seat. Hmm.. that was an interesting haircut the girl had, but as she wasn’t sure if it was cutting edge hair fashion or an unintentional accident, she chose not to say anything about it.

By some odd miracle she'd survived the others so she didn't figure this would be any harder. Just...another loony Professor. No big deal.

"Good morning." No Professor title because she didn't know who the Professor was yet.

Still smiling as the next student walked in, Nessa watched the Head Girl carefully. She had hated having to reprimand the girl for what she was sure was an overenthusiastic performance earlier in the year so she really hoped that she wouldn’t have to do it again. Hmm.. perhaps she had been too harsh as the girl simply walked in and barely greeted her. That wouldn’t dim her cheery mood though. “Good morning, Alexa,” she responded brightly as she watched the girl look for a seat.

Once she was settled and her notes were organized in front of her, the thirteen year old glanced up again and offered a thoughtful smile. "Hello Professor."

Nessa smiled at the next student to walk in, watching her as she came in to find a seat. She honestly didn’t mind if they didn’t each have a spectacular, unique entrance each time. Though it was fun when they did.. she just wanted them to be cognizant about it. And she just liked the sign, it was so her. “Hello, Maddie,” she greeted back in kind, once the young Ravenclaw spoke.

He shot a confused look towards the couple of students who had entered the classroom a few moments before him, as if he hoped they would have an explanation for him. What the heck was going on?

Nessa turned her brown eyes on the boy as he walked in, giving him a reassuring smile to his questioning tone. Had her theatrical costume thrown him off? Hmm.. perhaps that was the intention.. perhaps not. “Good morning, Andrew,” she answered back brightly before he went to find a seat.

When he sat down, he put his penny flute up and grabbed the stuff he would need to take notes.

Hearing a bit of music at the door, Nessa lifted her brown eyes and smiled broadly. Swaying to the music, she grinned watching Ian as he sauntered into the classroom. “Oh, wonderful!” she beamed at the boy, giving him some applause as he took to his seat. ”Thank you, Ian.” How delightful to have a musician entertain them a few minutes!

That was an entrance wasn't it? She was so awful at the entrances, she couldn't even compare to some of the amazing ways the students entered the room.

"Hellllllo Professor Glendower." She waved very enthusiastically as she fully noticed her friend appearance. "OHMYGOSH!!! Your hair!" *squeals*

EEEP! Nessa loved it when her best friend came and sat in on her lesson. How fun! And look at that entrance.. she always could appreciate a decent moonwalk. Beaming at her fellow professor, she waved back just as enthusiastically. “Helllooo, Professor Cassie! And welcome!” She couldn’t help but to laugh a bit as she pointed out her hair and she dramatically tossed a bit over her shoulder. “What do you think?” Totally rocking the banshee look, hehe.

"Hi, Professor Glendower...'' Adi tried not to stare. That was Glendower, right? O_O She looked all weird. Was she okay? Or was she sick She did look green. Very much puzzled, he turned to look at the students. What was up with people's hair today? Angel's this time. He wondered what had happened there.

And speaking of her look, it seemed as if she had caught another of her student’s off guard. Still smiling brightly, she watched the Hufflepuff prefect as he came in. “Hi, Adi,” she said just as cheerfully as she had greeted everyone to come into the classroom. “Good to see you today..” Questions would soon be answered..

Nessa gave Zahra a beamy smile as she walked in, only to have it falter ever so slightly as she went straight for a seat and gave her a look. Hmm.. that was slightly odd and she wondered if she had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. She didn’t dwell too much on it, instead kept her cheerful smile and greeted her brightly, “Hello, Zahra!”

"Hello professor." Nice hair, and skin color. Erm... she really hoped this lesson wasn't going to be insane. The second year was not in the mood. AJ turned her attention to the students assembled. Her eyes landed on Angel and she had to fight back a laugh. Her hair was still messed up. Good, served her right. She would NOT be sitting by her.

Huh.. It hadn’t crossed Nessa’s mind till just now but she hadn’t realized that Adi had walked in alone this time, now that the second twin had entered the classroom. And now she was second guessing herself. Was the first girl to walk in Angel? Or was it really Aubrey? She gave the girl a bright smile as she walked in, noting who she had decided to sit by. Alright, she would just go with her earlier instincts then. “Hello, Aubrey.”

PROFESSOR MORGAN? Eden gaped at the woman. Since when was she so...HAPPY like this, though? Professor Morgan was typically in a good mood, yes but...this? But she went towards her and smiiiiled. "Hi, Professor--" she said softly, but with a grin. "You seem chipper today--" Eden wishes she felt as...enthusiastic about today, though. She took a seat and pulled out her notbeook. "Also...are you here just for fun, Professor?" she asked, looking up at her curiously.

Eden’s staring did not make Nessa feel self-conscious at all. Nope, she was a seasoned professional performer and was getting a reaction that she would expect anyway given her stage makeup and transfigured hair. She paid no mind to the girl’s lack of greeting, instead, she smiled widely at her. “Hello, Eden!”

O_O

What happened to the professor's hair? Did she...uh, forgot to have a haircut? She looked like she's ready to sweep the floor with it. AHem. Well, anyway, he was there and Ethan beamed at the Professor. "Good day, Professor Glendower!" Haaaai. Waaave! Oh and the Divination Professor's here too! "Professor Cassie, it's good to see you here." Nodnod. She was a fun baby yeti last term!

Hearing some singing at the entryway, Nessa turned her attention to the door again. What a groovy song.. she thought she had heard it before and she bopped her head a bit, smiling as she watched Ethan sauntered in. But she had to suppress a chuckle as he stopped suddenly. Was it her appearance? She would guess so.. “Good day, Ethan!” she smiled brightly and greeted him cheerfully. Such a delightful child.

Still smiling widely, Nessa turned her brown eyes towards the door once more as the newest student to enter the classroom walked in. Mhmm, reacting to her appearance.. she supposed it was having the desired effect though she didn’t think she looked that much out of the ordinary to have so many gape at her that way. Just a little coloring and her hair was a bit longer.. still she beamed brightly at the Hufflepuff even though she was growing slightly concerned. He just wasn’t as bouncy as he once was.. “Hi, Toby!”

"Hello Professors," Benny corrected himself before moving on. Looking at the other presences in the room, he noticed Adi and AJ sitting in one direction and Angel sitting in the other. Knowing the details of what had happened between the sisters, he gave his bestie a small smile before taking a seat next to his girlfriend.

Nessa couldn’t be sure if this student was affected by or noticed her slightly different appearance as he didn’t visibly react as strongly as a few of the others, but it didn’t matter much either way. Nessa smiled widely at the boy as he walked in and found a seat. “Hello, Benjamin!”

Deciding not to question it, the second year smiled at her and called "Hello, professor!" before reaching into her bag to pull out parchment and a quill.

Aww, look at this entrance! The girl exuded confidence and Nessa beamed widely at her as she came in and found a seat. “Hello, Norah!”

Jasmine hoped that her appearance was somehow related to their lesson. If not........she didnt even want to think about the possibilities. Jasmine found an empty seat and slid into it. Placing her bag on the floor, she looked around, trying to anticipate what madness might be in store for the class today.

Nessa’s eyes widened a bit as she watched the prefect leap into the classroom, soon giving her a wide smile and a few claps for her efforts. “Hello, Jasmine,” she returned the greeting brightly. She’d guess by the way she stretched out her name that she was a bit surprised by her appearance, but she thought it might make sense to the girl in a little while.

Then as he turned around he noticed Professor Cassie was there too. Oh? So this was gonna be a double professored lesson.

Nessa smiled as Kace walked into the classroom, soon giving him a slightly quizzical look. “Hello, Kace.. and thank you.” Not exactly a haircut as it was much longer than shorter, but it was nice that he noticed and made a point to say it politely. She gave him an approving smile as he went to his seat.

Because any compliment would be a lie and he wasn't sure he could pull it off.

"Hey, Professor. It's good to see you again." See? Polite.

Giving her a smile, the fifth year readjusted his grip on his bag as he headed over towards an empty seat. He sat down and took out his things before taking to looking over at the History of Magic Professor. Swear to Merlin, shareware UP with that?!

Nessa’s beamy smile didn’t falter at all when Greyson stared and continued to stare some more at her. Maybe she didn’t expect quite that extreme of a reaction. Her hair was longer, sure.. and maybe she was slightly on the green side, but was it that unusual? Still she had expected some to at least notice, so she simply responded to the boy in kind as he spoke. “Yeeess?” *beam* “It’s lovely to see you as well, Greyson.. and hello!”

”Hooray for Dot!” Nessa beamed as the young girl walked in with her half-hearted attempt at jazz hands. The professor returned the greeting with jazz hands of her own, except they were fully hearted. “And good day to you, Miss.”

So.... The Gryffindor causally strolled in. She walked by the professor slowly. Her hair....and her skin IT WAS GREEN!!!!!! She blinked at her before speaking "Uh hi professor Glendower?" She continued walking on slowly backward still looking at Professor Glendower and finding a seat she backed into the seat.

Nessa smiled brightly at the newest entrant to class today. Hmm.. another questioning her presence. Again, her smile did not falter and she returned the greeting. “Hi, Cinnamon.”

Waving at her friends, she took her seat before looking towards the front. Huh. At this point in time two Professors had lost their minds...and it looked like Professor Glendower made the third. "Hello, Professor," she said feeling rather wary. Astronomy had been a nightmare and Ancient Runes had been rather fun. What kind of lesson would this turn out to be?

Nessa beamed at Lux as she walked in like some sort of fashion model.. how fun! “Hello Lux,” she greeted her cheerfully as she watched her take a seat. A quick glance at her watch told her class was soon to begin, but she was sure she’d get a few more students before then.

Nessa smiled widely as another student walked into the classroom. And she almost chuckled at his apparent shock. Apparently her costuming was effective. “Hi Zeke,” she greeted him brightly in return.

"Accio fairy wand" she cast and grabbed the little pink Glinda-wand out of the air.

Oh yeah. Now she was rocking her Halloween costume again.

One. Two…..gigggles, yep she was giggling and flitting her way through the door with skipping steps. Once she was finally through the door and the well, atrocious giggle was over with she flitted her way over to Lux and grinned. Raising the fairy godmother wand she chuckled and tapped Lux on the head with it, the only thing the wand did ever was spread sparkles around. Yep. Get that glitter out of your hair.

“Gooood Daaaaaaaaay Professor” she giggle-cheered before sitting near Lux.

With a delighted smile, Nessa watched as the next student entered, in costume, and flittered around like a fairy. What a wonderful performance and she took a proper seat, lovely. Nessa clapped a few times and said, “And a good day to you as well, Puck!” She did love the entertaining entrances best, even if they were all endearing in their own way.

Except that got a bit lost as she’d turned toward the front once she’d settled into her chosen seat, and there had been a moment of gaping herself. Only to turn into a narrowed-eye suspicious look. Professor Glendower had been kind of theatrical before, but now it looked like she was trying to be the wicked witch. Or a banshee, but either way, she prepared herself for another class like the last one, when she’d spent it trying to convince the head girl how crazy she’d been acting. Coincidentally, she looked just as confused by the appearance of the professor now too, so at least that was done. Now it seemed like the professor was the crazy one.

“Good morning Professor Glendower.” Whoever you think you are right now.

Hmm, was she confused? Nessa still smiled at the girl as she entered and gave her an odd sort of expression. Nothing new as far as reactions from students went though but perhaps everyone would settle down in due time. “Good morning, Brooklyn,” she returned the greeting cheerfully.

Bam. That was exactly how Spiderman would have done it.

Still smiling, Nessa watched curiously as Kyroh came in with his eyes closed. Her smile did falter for a moment when he walked into his chair, causing her to gasp just a bit. Was he ok? He seemed to be and she smiled once again as he sat down. "Hi, Kyroh," she greeted him cheerfully.

The last student safely tucked inside, Nessa walked to the front of the classroom to begin the day’s lesson. “Welcome, everyone! I hope the day finds you well..” She was rather looking forward to the topic of the class, but slightly nervous as well which she really hoped that she was not conveying to the students. It was slightly different to how she normally conducted class so she hoped that it would go well, though of course it would have that Glendower touch to it. “Today we are going to start with a discussion on different kinds of magical creatures found in the Wizarding world.” Not necessarily those found in CoMC as that was not the class she taught, though maybe a few could be taught cross-discipline. “Specifically about the classifications that the Ministry of Magic gives them. Not the classification regarding how dangerous a creature is..” She knew she’d have to clarify that or else she was sure many students would recite those to her and this was not CoMC. Javier could teach that to them if he wanted. “But the official Ministry classification of all kinds of magical creatures. What are the classifications and what creatures can be found within them?” Yeah, no comment on her appearance just yet. Maybe later or they could just guess.


OOC - One fact or detail per student, please.

She called him by his proper name. In fact she called everyone by their given name as if she knew and remembered them. That led Benny to believe all was well with the professor and relax into the moment. A soft sigh of relief managing to escape him. He heard Adi's greeting but before he could respond the woman was starting class, the Gryffindor unable to help perking up as the topic of the day's lesson was revealed.

Magical Creatures!!!

Benny listened to the first question posed to the class and eagerly raised his hand to answer. "There are creatures marked XXXXX, the highest level which means extremely dangerous and known to kill wizards and something only experienced wizards should handle."

Oh sweet merciful Merlin, the Professor said her name!! dsjfbkfvgs!! She wasn't one of the loony ones gone fairytale crazy and this lesson could be a normal one. The look of relief at her name couldn't possibly have gone unnoticed and Lex didn't try to hide it either. The infected didn't know who you were but the Professor DID. Whatever she was up to, it was PLANNED and not some freaky hostile takeover by a giggling book from the restricted section. She could live with this and it almost made her able to live with Professor Smiles showing up. It was like some routine for them, wasn't it?

Oh who cared, this lesson wouldn't be a disaster.

Lex raised her hand, happy enough to give a response to the NORMAL Professor.

"There's the classification 'X' which means 'boring' and you can already guess why if you knew the types of creatures with that rating." Flobberworms and the like, they...didn't do much....

So...Professor Glendower seemed normal EXCEPT for the outfit. Hmph. She wondered if she was just dressed like this for LULZ? At least she wasn't trying to be like...a wicked witch or something. THank MERLIN. This made Eden feel a loooot better and she even sent the professor a wave...right...oops. Eden still wasn't used to this...greeting the professors thing. And it was more than halfway through the year.

But honestly, Eden had no idea what she meant. If she wasn't talking about..how dangerous a creature was, then what WAS she talking about? The first few answers confused here--weren't those the classifications Professor Glendower didn't want?

Confusion.

She flipped open her notebook and wrote the date at the top, wondering who else would answer..because Eden wouldn't..nope...she just...listened and paid close attention. But she was HERE, wasn't she?! Heh.

Toby sat there, patient and smiling and looking at the second year, waiting to see what she'd say.

Uh... right. That wasn't the answer Toby expected, but he still grinned nonetheless. He'd just opened his mouth to reply with an 'I guess that's true' or something along the lines, and maybe ask how the kid was doing these days (and if she'd ever found that axe...) when Dot was... leaving. Moving over a space.

"Oh," he replied, kind of confused but still putting a smile on for her. "Okay. See y'later then." And a little wave goodbye. It was totally fine if she preferred to sit with one of her own friends, after all.

Toby went back to idly waiting for class to start, finding himself absentmindedly doodling on his parchment as he sat there, distracted once more. Luckily, there wasn't too much longer to wait, because Glendower (who, thankfully, DID seem like her proper self today, just dressed up) soon started the lesson.

Notes, Toby did his best to take notes, and as it was early in the class, things looked promising. By the time Glendower finished talking, Toby was still writing, and that gave him extra time to try and think up an answer to give. Eventually he looked up and raised his hand.

"There's, uhh... 'Beings'," he offered. "Which I think are like... creatures classed as smart enough to understand and have a say in laws and stuff." He had an inkling of what creatures might be in that category, but juuuuust in case he was all wrong in his answer, decided to leave it at that.

Okay. It was just a costume. Obviously Professor Glendower wasn’t any crazier than normal, considering there had still been that notice about making an entrance at the door and the professor hadn’t looked weird at some of the people who took that too seriously. At least she wasn’t going to have to argue with anyone, and she’d given her a smile as the greeting had been returned. Yep. Not a crazy fairy tale person, unless somehow fairy tale people knew her name now. Actually, that would be kind of cool. She’d be famous, except she wasn’t sure she wanted to be famous when it came to crazy people who thought that they were fairy tale characters.

But back to the lesson. They were discussing creatures, which confused her a little. Especially because it made her wonder why Professor Thompson wasn’t there, as opposed to the Divination professor. He would’ve made more sense if they were talking about creatures. She’d looked around as people had started answering with the X classifications that weren’t supposed to be what was wanted, too. Maybe people were paying less attention than she had been.

She still raised her hand, however. “Professor, there’s the ‘beast’ classification. That’s like dragons and stuff that can’t speak to us. They can’t ask for laws and stuff.” Since the older Hufflepuff had talked about having a say in laws and everything. It wouldn’t hurt to sort of piggyback off his answer, provided it was right.

Angel looked at the Professor as she said why not... now this was hard she didn't want to get into trouble but the Professor had just started her mind going again about that night in the dorm. "Let's just say people you think would be there to protect you aren't always there." Angel pouted. "Someone I thought the world off decided to be mean and decided they would do something horrible." Angel was starting to get annoyed now... she was sure the Professor was wishing she hadn't asked. "And yes I'm Angel." Angel said truthfully. "But can we please not mention a certain person?" Angel didn't want to talk about her sister she was still fuming about the whole thing.

Angel raised her hand and answered the question even though she was still very much annoyed. "How about they rate the beast they don't understand high and those they do low." Angel thought the whole system was biased and she wasn't that bothered the Professor had made her grumpy by asking that question and her eyes kept wandering to her sister... she wasn't going to do anything today was she?

This was going to be a weird lesson, he could already tell.

Yep.

Weird. Magical Creatures was for MAGICAL CREATURES... not History. Sheeeessshhh... but still, this was something he knew a little about. Raising his hand, Zeke offered his insight. "The rating XX means that the creature is harmless and can become a pet." Yep. That's what it was.

Now how did this have ANYTHING to do with history?

When class officially started and Professor Glendower began to speak, Jasmine was a little relieved. She sounded normal enough so hopefully her appearance did have to do ith the lesson. She hadn't said or done anything crazy yet.....so that was good.

As the first question was posed, Jasmine raised her hand to respond. "Spirit is one of the classifications that the Ministry uses. That would include ghosts, poltergeists and things of that nature." As more answers were given, Jasmine copied the information into her notebook. Maybe this class would be OK after all.

Ian noticed that the professor seemed to enjoy his little ditty. It was a rather nice thing to share and he enjoyed plays from time to time. He watched as other folks entered the classroom. It was observing their looks that he noticed the green tint and different hair. He wasn't the most observant child.

Ian heard someone speak about bed and he latched on to that. Beings include humans, veelas and the like. He scribbled here and there as other answers were given.

The Professor had greeted everyone by name! And not just their surnames but their actually given first names! Which meant she knew whom they all were and she wasn't crazy or anything like that. Straightening up in her seat she grabbed her quill and parchment ready for class.

Hearing the first question of class she began jotting down notes on her parchment even as she raised her hand to answer it. "Professor isn't there a section for those that do not have a set classification? Like Dementors and house-elves." Hadleigh asked as she gave her answer. She had remembered reading about this over the summer and asking her father questions on it. Maybe this was a question for the CoMC Professor but since Professor Glendower was asking she thought it was alright to answer.

Oh, so Adi noticed that something was off with her. She could tell even if he didn't comment on it. Then Angel started whining about how bad her day was. AJ's eyes rolled HARD to the back of her head. "Maybe SOME people shouldn't start fights they can't finish." Just saying! AJ never looked in the direction of her sister, and she didn't feel bad about ruining her hair. Leave it to Angel to whine to a professor. If her sister went and snitched on her, her hair would end up being the least on her concerns.

What was the question again? AJ was mad all over again, and the anger was over powering everything else. Something about creatures and their classifications. Her hand was in the air. "The ministry pretty much just chooses what they think are cool animals versus lame animals, and they label them." Which was kind of rude actually. What if she went around labeling the students like that? Angel would be a big fat lame-o label right about now.

Kace smiled as the Professor greeted him. He always loved coming to this class. As the lesson was starting to progress he heard the first question. He heard the previous students answers and thought about what did he know about the Magical Creatures department. He remembered his cousin's girlfriend talking about it. He remembered hearing about the Pest division. He raised his hand to give his input.

"Professor I know there is a division dealing with Pests. They can deal with chizpurfles and serious Bundimun infestations." That is all he knew about that division.

Angel heard her sisters comment... this had nothing to do with her the Professor had asked her why it wasn't such a good day and so she had been truthfully... her sister had just gone crazy again but she wasn't going to tell tales on her, that wasn't her style.

"Some People can finish stuff." Angel replied to her sister. "But they care about some other people so much they can't bring themselves around to do anything bad and so they leave." Angel rolled her eyes, she had been looking straight towards the Professor and had been trying to stay away from looking at her sister.

Norah smiled back at the professor. Smiley professors were the best kinds, uh huh. Oooh creatures! The second year bounced a little in her seat. Maybe they could go outside! Professors that let you go outside were definitely the second best kinds. She didn't know much about classification of creatures, but she put her hand up anyway. It wasn't like smiley professor was gonna yell at her or anything. "They say something about X's, right? I always thought X's were kisses but the more X's they give a creature means it's more dangerous. I guess that makes sense 'cause kisses are dangerous too, if they're with a boy who has cooties." Putting her hand back down again, the Hufflepuff grinned at Professor Glendower. That was totally the best answer. Yep, on point.

Ian heard Norah's statements about boys and cooties and he had to quickly cover his mouth to keep from laughing loudly. Cooties indeed. Cause it was just boys who had them he thought to himself. He smiled at the second year. He thought she was pretty cool, especially since she was in his house and super nice.

At least Glendower had her usual bright smile. Maybe things weren't so bad...but she was green. That was a bad thing. Right?
Aha. So something was up between those two sisters. Adi's eyes flicked from AJ to Angel. Did AJ do that to Angel's hair? He could see her doing it, all right. Annnnd she was getting fired up again. Adi put a hand on her upper arm and squeezed gently. "You're in class,'' he reminded her. Whatever was going on between the two, they could fix it later.

Magical Creatures? Adi perked up. Anything with Magical creatures was going to get his full attention. Hand up immediately, he answered, "They can be classified as Beings, Beasts and Spirits, Professor.''

...................... Cooties. Someone mentioned cooties.

DON'T. LAUGH, WHITTY.

Grayson closed his eyes and let the answer sink in, all the while trying to bite back the laugh that was building up inside of him. It sounded ridiculous to HIM, someone who thought kisses were cool and was all up for a good smooching. Maybe the girl was a bit young and whatnot so he wasn't judging, for once. Was this progress? Eh.

But she was right. Kisses sure were dangerous if given by the right person. Wink.

ANYWAYS. Question about classification? And not the ones that said how dangerous a creature was? Okay. Once he had wrapped his head around that and actually managed to come up with a good enough answer, Grayson raised his hand in the air. "Wasn't there some sort of big fight among creatures about what classification they should be?" he started, "Like the Merpeople. THEY would have been classified as Beings but they didn't want to share the status with Hags. Probably 'cause they didn't like them." Nobody did. "So Merpeople are classified as Beasts."

Fights and drama were the only things he cared enough about to remember. Obviously.

He was so glad that the Professor hand't noticed that he was sleeping at his desk…. hearing the talking is what had woken him up and they were talking about classifications he thought so he lifted his head slowly to not attract attention and took out his quill and started to make notes.. he had to look like he was doing something and for sure the next question he would try to answer, now he just needed to wake up a little bit…… "hold back that yawn bay!!" he told himself as his face was contorted weird.

Everyone was rattling off the Ministry danger classifications or whatever...but Caleb knew that wasn't what she was asking for. He tapped his fingers on his desk as he thought before raising his hand. "Isn't there something like...being of human intelligence or something like that? Which would include centaurs and merpeople, who have their own language and can communicate with humans and are just as smart as humans, but are considered 'beings' or something of the like..." he explained. He was doing a rubbish job of explaining it...but he got his point across, he was pretty sure...

Maddie wondered WHY people kept giving answers the Professor had SPECIFICALLY said that she didn't want to hear. She could only conclude that they were either hard of hearing, trying to push Glendower's buttons, or genuinely confused about the discussion going on. In any case, the thirteen year old noted that the head girl was one of these people and raised her eyebrows. Interesting.

As for HER answer, the little Ravenclaw took a few minutes to think before raising her hand. "The definition of the classification Being had to undergo several changes before it became the one we use today. I believe that Stump guy is the one that is credited with the current definition."
