So like... Dora hadn't really cared for Charms classes previously, but she had told herself at start of term that she would stop judging the Profs so much and actually attend more classes. Yep. So here she was.

The cold December air was chilling her straight to her core, it seemed. So it was definitely a relief to enter the room and get blasted in the face with the warmth! She may have even let out a small sigh of relief. Gryffindor house had it worst, she thought. Having to come all the way from their tower and all. COLD, DRAFTY CASTLE. Horrible. But the blonde shook herself from her thoughts and smiled kindly at the Professor. "Hello, Professor Marching Band!" Close enough, right? Right.

She thought so at least.

And there was food and hot drinks? SIGHS! Dora would love some cocoa, but she had a rule about not eating or drinking anything the teachers offered. GAAAAH! Her tummy even gave a slight rumble at the sight of the cookies. Oh well. She would just have to be sure and eat more than usual later on! Aaaand seeing as the classroom was empty still, she took her time choosing a seat. Not too far from the door... not allllll the way to the back... somewhere in between. Even if the center of the room was empty, she could be mid ways back against one wall. BAM.

CENTER OF ATTENTION! BOOM!

Kimi entered the charms classroom and smiled and said "Good day Professor Marchand" Kimi took a seat after getting a cookie and some hot cocoa and saw the empty bottle on his desk and he wondered what they would be learning today

Coming in from the bitter, cold winter that is December for yet another charms lesson, Jonas looked around to see what would be in store for this lesson. Or at least, he thinks he can predict what will be in store for this lesson. He takes notice of the desks and the way they are arranged, then he takes notice of the empty plastic bottle on the desks. Huh...in the front of the class is a plate of sugar cookies and tea and hot cocoa. Jonas then notices the professor leaning against the wall waiting for everyone to start pilling in.
"Hey professor Marand," Jonas said.
He loves how the professor is just leaning against the wall like 'yeah, I'm a professor with swag, what are you going to do about it? Jonas snickers a bit at his own mental statement. "Swag" he muttered as he got a cup of hot cocoa then sat at an available desk."Thanks." he said out loud almost forgetting to thank him in the first place.

Azura was shivering slightly as she walked into the charms classroom and she pulled her cloak in around her tighter. She stepped inside and found that not only was there a heating charm seemingly in place. But also it looked like there was some warm drinks as well!

She waved at the Professor as she moved towards the back of the room to grab herself some tea. "Hello Professor Marchand, how are you today?" Charma was one of her favorite classes and she was excited to be here!

She poured herself some tea and settled into a spot on the left side of the room, she cupped her hands around the tea cup to warm them as she waited for class to start.

Brooklyn had learned over the years. It was always freezing in December, and that was why she made good use of heating charms pretty much the whole month. The whole winter season, really, since she’d much rather not deal with being cold. It wasn’t as if the Slytherin common room and dorms exactly had that much insulation after all. The castle in general was bad, but at least heat rose. Therefore she and the rest of the Snakes had it worst. Therefore, heating charms, since she’d also rather not wear seven million layers and look ten times bigger than she really was. With the charms, she was fine with her sweater, thicker stockings and her robe, adding a cloak or a jacket if she was going outside. She wasn’t, so that meant they weren’t needed.

Walking into the classroom, she gave the professor a slight incline of her head along with a polite smile. “Good morning Professor Marchand,” she added, taking a single sugar cookie on her way to an open seat. A small snack wouldn’t hurt, after all, and at least it wasn’t chocolate.

Used to the cold weather as an ex Durmstrang student where the weather in the winter was much more drastically, Mason entered the charms classroom while unwrapping his Ravenclaw scarf from his neck. He put it in his schoolbag as he walked inside behind a few of the other students.

The room was warm, the professor must have used a heating charm in the room.When he looked around to find a place to sit, he heard one of the girls (Dora) greeting the professor as 'marching band' The fifth year laughed which he successfully disguised as a cough a second later before nodding his head to the professor "Good morning, Sir"

Whoah Father Frost is really making his presence felt isnt it?

Tenacius enters the room all bundled up. The warmth of the room and the aroma from that hot tea greeting the sense that was truly comforting. "Mornin' Professor Marchand!" the Curly Top greeted the man with the beanie he just pulled off of his head. Oh hey whats with the plastic bottles? He'll toy with that in a bit, but first some tea and tasty treats!

Cold cold cold BRRRRRRRRRR!

Why were they still having classes in the middle of freaking winter? At least Professor Marchand's classroom was warm enough that Owen didn't feel like getting cantankerous again. Also, free food! But first the 4th year Hufflepuff greeted the man with a nod, "Professor."

Making a beeline towards the back of the classroom, he poured himself a cup of hot cocoa and grabbed a cookie that he let dangle from his mouth as he chose a seat. To the left, to the left? Hmmkay.

And an empty plastic bottle.

Huh.

Just a tad curious.

Quietly slipping into the class room, Hazen Krum didn't glance at anyone - and went straight to the table for refreshments. Making his mind up in the next second, the twelve year old poured himself some hot cocoa and found himself an empty table.

Once settled in and what not - Hazen took a sip of his drink and finally took a note of his surroundings and the people already in the room.

There was the professor, who needed to do more than just stand there for Hazen to make an opinion of him. The blond with a lame joke and the boy who somehow thought that joke was funny, the dork with the glasses, the weirdo who was laughing and talking to himself, two other girls, and then the beanie boy. So far .... Hazen was anticipating this class to be a dud.

It must be a Slytherin thing. Hardly any of them complained about the cold. Heating charms were a thing and came in handy in these chiller months. That was probably why Hadleigh could be seen right this very minute in just her typical class robes. Nothing more. Not even a sweater was being worn by the teen right now. Thank you heating charms.

Walking into the room she took notice to the two rows of seats, one along each side wall of the room. Choosing an open seat without much fuss she made her way towards it only stopping to make herself a cup of tea and take a sugar cookie. Just one. With the hot cup in hand and the plate with her cookie in the other Hady headed for a desk. "Hello Professor, thank you for the morning snack," she greeted with a warm smile setting both the cup and plate on top of the desk before sitting down.

Her things were removed from her bag and set at the corner of her desk, bag being placed on the floor at her feet. While she waited for the lesson to begin she picked up the cup cradling it in her hands blowing gently on it before taking a small sip of the warm liquid.

BRR! Kitty entered the classroom with her scarf tied tightly around her neck and hood pulled high over head. "Goo-good morning Professor Marchand," said Kitty (stammering slightly to avoid sneezing) as she took off her scarf and lowered her hood. The room was heated so she didn't need it anymore. She waved at Azura and Hady as she picked a cup of tea and moved to sit down at her desk with the curious empty bottle.

Okay. So the dude's name was definitely not marching band... but whatever. It wasn't until she heard the cough!laugh that she looked up, a bemused smile on her face. Seeeeee... at least someone appreciated her sense of humor! He could sit with her. Did he know that?! Dora waved him over and patted the seat next to herself. Mhm. Come here, you.

Also, Owen gained a smile and a wave as he came in and got settled... but the other boy in Slytherin robes... well he seemed surly. Dora didn't mind surly, so she watched him. Watched. Eyes following him as he passed... and then she turned in her seat to watch some more. She also didn't usually mind Slytherins, but she was unsure about this one. "Hey. I'm Dora. I don't think we've met, " she called out to him softly. That was it reallly. That was all she had to say. Turning around now.

Charms. Hehe, that special time of the week had come again, and the blonde Gryffindor was practically beside herself with pleasure and delight!

Gaston.

Hello, Gaston.

Olivia, of course, had been biding her time; gauging their new Charms' professor's temperament over the first few months of school. She was a total Gryffindor, yes, but she obviously wasn't a stupid one. There was no brave to the point of stupidity thing going on here. However, given that he'd been decidedly mild mannered and pleasant, the blonde felt she could finally act upon all the things his given name presented.

After class, though. Well, maybe during class... Eh, she'd play it by ear.

"Why, hello, Profesor Gaaaaaston." It was stated confidently (and rather dramatically) as she sashayed into the classroom. Confidence. She had it truckloads... and not even the chilly winter morning could dampen that.

Dropping her bag on a desk beside Ace, she went about grabbing cookies and tea. Extra, just in case...and then went to properly settle in. "Hey." Surely, her DADA buddy wouldn't mind her sitting with him.

Freezing was a thing!
Okay, so not really. Not in Hogwarts where heating charms were placed everywhere.
But coming from the Lion's den to the Charms classroom was not on the high list of things Noelle wanted to do. She'd woken up early to get some homework done, because she ended up passing out the night before and not finishing it. So being by the warm fire, doing homework... was an infinity times better than running through the crisp winter wind. But... her homework was done.

Noelle had made it just in time for class too. She was delighted with the snacks that were present. She hadn't had time to eat so this was brilliant. She grabbed a snowflake shaped sugar cookie and a hot cocoa before making her way over to sit next to Azura. Oh yay! Hady wasn't too far over. She got a finger wiggle when her goodies were put on her desk.

Noelle looked around the classroom while nibbling her sugar cookie and waved at Owen and Dora who were present as well. When her cookie was done, she waved at the professor, smiling bright. "Those cookies were delicious! Thank you, Professor!" Not to mention the thanks for the warming charm. Nice and toasty!

Honestly nothing mattered except the cookies. There were so many of them! There had been food in a lot of classes recently and Olly hoped the trend continued. When he entered the Charms classroom his eyes focused in on the table with the snacks on it and he headed right there. He took one of each cookie onto a plate and poured himself some hot chocolate. What a great class!

When he was not so distracted by the food Olly actually looked up and looked around the classroom. "Hi Professor. Thanks for the cookies. Did you make them?" You always had to thank the chef. Even though technically he didn't know how good they were yet because he hadn't tried one, but he was sure they would be delicious. They were cookies after all. Olly turned and navigated his way toward a desk and sat himself down next to Noelle. "Hey." He grinned at her for a moment and then dug in to his plate of cookies.

Oh no. If the Gryffindor had noticed his fake cough, he was sure that the professor would notice it too. They weren't stupid, Mason knew that. Still pretending it HAD been a cough, the Ravenclaw turned to look at Dora who had made fun of the professor's name and he raised an eyebrow when she gestured for him to sit with her.


Uhm...ok...

Getting a cup of hot cocoa first, he held it in his hands as he walked back to the desks and took a seat next to the Gryffindor. "I hope you're not getting in to trouble for calling him that..." he said as he took a sip from the drink.

The first thing Matt did whe he entered the classroom was to SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFF the air. He could smell it!!

Sending a grin to the professor, the Gryffindor went straight to where the refreshments where. "Awesooooome, thanks for that, prof!" He said enthusiastically as he poured some hot choocolate for himself. HOT CHOCOLAAAAAAAAAAAAHTE, YAS!

Matt loved hot chocolate, MAN. YAS.

Right, this was a lesson, though, so he needed to find a seat. Anywhere, really, Matt didn't MIND. Only not at the front because he didn't want to call THAT much attention in case he gave up doing what they were meant to be doing during the lesson.

Sooooooo somewhere in the middle of the room it was, aaaalmost at the back but not really. PERFECTTTTTT. Now he could just sit back, relaxxxxxxxxxx and sip on his hot chocolate as his mates arrived.

SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURPPPPP.

Time for Charms.

He figured he might as well give it a shot. He figured charms wasn't so bad. As the slytherin made his way to the room, he noticed there was food on the table. He grinned and thought, "Well I guess you gotta bribe the students to come to class somehow.." He took a cookie and some hot cocoa because why not? He needed a little caffeine boost. As he slurped, he noticed the teacher there. He nodded to him, "Sup Professor?" He felt his tongue burn and he felt his taste buds rise. Yup he wasn't gonna be able to taste for a week or so. Nice going Colt. You should have put milk in your cocoa.

He walked back to the class and sat down in his seat. He got out his notebook and began to do his famous doodles and waited for class to begin. He even munched on his cookie to give him an energy boost. He also wondered what charm the dude had in store.

yes, she made it on time "Hey Professor" she said while tossing her hair over her shoulder, the first thing she saw was the food, Echo beelined it over there. Did he know that she was super hungry, Echo went and grabbed some cookies and coco.

Spotting alot of her friends she just said a big "heyy guys" and waved at them all, almost loosing a cookie.

making her way to a seat she saw Dora, she was happy to see her. "Hey Dora" they havent really been all cuddles in front of people yet, plus Echo hasnt asked her a certain question that was on her mind, she wondered if people knew??? she didnt want to get to close.... yet.

Oliver hugged himself as he walked over to Charms. He was wearing a sweater under his robes but the dungeons were still just so cold. He was so happy to feel the warmth radiating from the classroom that he practically ran in.

Looking around, he spotted the professor and then the COOKIES and COCOA. Whoa. Today was going to be a good class, no matter what they learned. Treats made everything better.

"Hello, Professor," he smiled and waved. "Thanks for the treats and the warmth." Ollie then walked over and took his share of yummyyummygoodness and made his way over to a seat.

Philipe came into class quietly, his eyes very, very red... Both from lack of sleep and from crying... Though he wouldn't admit that out loud. "Morning, professor." He gave a very weak nod before going to hide in the back of the classroom, sinking into a chair. Hey, he was in class again at least... Not trying to hide up in his common room still... That was a bit of progress right?

Cookies? Katy was intrigued by the empty bottle, by the room set-up, by the smug professor... but she was making a beeline for the cookies. You offer free food, you have a friend for life.

She lifted a crumby hand to the professor and waited until she'd chewed and swallowed before speaking. "Thanks so much, Professor. And good day to you."

Juno walked into the charms classroom and immediately smelled cookies and hot cocoa. She knew she liked this dude. She smiled up and waved at the professor, "Hello, Professor Marchand! Thanks for the refreshments!" Always the polite one this girl. She quickly grabbed two cookies and a mug of hot cocoa before finding a seat.

Oddly enough that seat was close to two of her favorite Slytherins. She smiled at Colt first he was closer to her. Her smile was sly and flirty. "Hey, Colt." She winked. She gingerly placed her cookies and hot cocoa on the desk before turning to her other favorite Slytherin. She gave him a genuinely kind smile. "Hey, Oliver." He was such a sweetie and a good friend.

She then dug through her bag and pulled out everything she thought she would need for class that day, making sure to have everything in order, including the object that was on the table waiting for them. She vaguely wondered what it was for while munching on a cookie. Man these professors knew how to get to her heart.

Nothing like a lesson to warm you up.

Well not exactly the lesson itself, unless they were getting into physical activities that did just that Cassie supposed. But the environs brought about by the calling of said lesson. Like the warming charms she noticed the minute she stepped through the threshold into the classroom, and the drinks she smelled as the third year moved further inside. Nice...very nice. Not really hungry, the Ravenclaw poured herself some tea and took it to an open seat in the long row present on the left side of the classroom.

“Good day, Professor,” she greeted the man as she sat down, setting the mug down before her before emptying her bag of what she needed for the lesson. One textbook…some parchment…quills and ink. “Thank you for the tea,” Cass added, as she settled in, taking a sip as she patiently waited for the class to begin.
