"So that's it now professor? People are freezing around us and we just continue with whatever we're doing? It's getting too casual we start living with it?" THAT was their way of handling the problem? At least Lafay had the decency to dismiss them. She was annoyed at the whole thing... and Scabior would probably take 948657349865 points from her WHICH HE HAD NO RIGHT OF DOING but she wasn't about to accept this cold reaction to this weird unexplained incident to a kid.
Louisa glanced at the Gryffindor statue and threw her back against the chair. Not gonna answer till the Healer was here and took care of the girl. No, the fact that he had a second year completely frozen in mid-action did not go unnoticed by the History of Magic Professor. In fact, he found himself glancing at the girl every thirty seconds just to see if there was any movement. But no, she remained still.
It was a big deal, but certainly not big enough to interrupt his class over. And so continuing made more than enough sense.
However the great Louisa Carter did not seem to think so.
"Oh?" Scabior raised a brow, not so much as blinking at her outburst. "How silly of me then to try and continue educating you in this school. What would you have me do Miss Carter? End class early?" Oh yes, he had heard about the Potions class that ended early a few days ago due to freezing. "Yes. Wise idea. Ending class early will be such a benefit to Miss Phillips over there. I'm sure that ending the class will just solve everything and result in her jumping for joy." He paused, still staring at the Ravenclaw.
"Or perhaps you wouldn't like just one class ending. Perhaps all classes should be put to a stop. Yes, just like when the chamber of secrets opened and the second wizarding world was going on, or even when that one student died a few years back. - Wait...classes didn't end those times at all...silly of me to think so." The reality of it, was that Scabior really wasn't trying to belittle her, he was just telling the truth, in his way. "Despite what you might say,I am certain that you are not blind or deaf Miss Carter, and so you saw my Patronus and heard me say that the Healer would be here momentarily. Attempting to move or disturb Miss Phillips without the proper knowledge how do might be disastrous."
Since that was all said and done, "Ten points from Ravenclaw for just annoying me, and if you do not like the fact that I am trying to teach, leave." There was the door, kindly exit it. Quote:

But having a frozen mid-boom third year right next to him was starting to really creep Milton out. Surprisingly enough, he agreed with his house Prefect. Louisa. She had a point.
Hold the phone on this "lost city" business. Milton had something to say to dear old Scabby. "So, some city that disappeared off the face of the earth three thousand years ago... is more important than the growing number of gradually-petrifying students?" Because that just seemed ridiculous to him. Even if Milton didn't like a whole lot of people. "Ten points from you for being an idiot" If HAD been listening to what was going on in the class he probably would have been able to correct himself in bother fronts. The city, and the apparent 'petrified' student. Quote:
Originally Posted by AlwaysSnapesGirl That was it? Just a shiny bird flying away and then they were moving on and ignoring Anya? That was not okay, at least not to Penelope. The professor had said the Healer would be there soon, but shouldn't they do more than just wait and ignore the Gryffindor? It was like he didn't even care all that much.
And Penelope was clearly not the only one who had a problem with it. An older Ravenclaw - two, actually - was speaking up now. Penelope glanced over at the girl and the boy next to Anya and gave them both a nod before looking back at the professor to give her own reply. "They're right. Shouldn't we at least wait for the Healer and make sure Anya's okay before we go back to doing class stuff?" Making sure Anya was okay was more important than class stuff. She was one of the only friends Penelope had, after all, while this class was just one of many, therefore she could easily lose a bit of class time without any problems. Those she could always make up and would have more of later. But she couldn't lose a friend. "You would like to wait, for the Healer? Is that not what we are doing right now Miss Greenwell? Waiting and learning. Unless you would rather wait in silence twiddling your thumbs." No. He wasn't going to waste his own time. Quote:

.... Didnt they all re-open and explored the Chamber of Secrets LAST TERM?
Icy blue eyes, bright with the distraction of talking about one of his favorite myths, goes back to tense worrying. "Wouldnt calling it petrified be a bit much? I mean I saw the Prefects freezing at Potions class, some of them unfroze after a while." Of course, he cleared out of there by the time Sierra and Lewis refroze again. "Besides, we went down the Chamber of Secrets last term. Professor Scabior said there was nothing to worry about because the Basilisk was long gone." He eyed the Professor again-- he wasnt actually breeding another cursed reptile was he? A baby Basilisk running lose around Hogwarts with its power of petrification not yet at full strength???
Calm down.... calm down....
... and whoah someone's NOT calm.
Behind his covered hand, Vickers sat agape at his Prefect. Eyes darts back towards the Professor. They got a lucky with Lafay, but Vickers was all about not pressing his luck the second time "Uhm.... Professor, perhaps we can quaran-- errr cover her-- Anya-- up with a curtain or a tent or something? Kinda give her some privacy while we wait for the Healer?" Cover her up? "No, she will stay as is." His voice was a little more patient, accommodating to what seemed like one of the handful of Ravenclaws that didn't want to push their luck. "We want to make sure that Miss Tilstorm finds her exactly how she froze." Not distributed or covered up. Quote:

But when someone announced that another student had frozen he became a little nervous. Especially when the Professor just dismissed it ans went on with the lesson. The Slytherin stared at the frozen student before they went to the Ravenclaw Prefect, Louisa.
"I-I agree w-with Louisa, sir!" he stuttered and after he had said those words he felt his cheeks blushing and he quickly looked down at the map in front of him.
Atlantis... he knew nothing about this place except for the name and that it was ...underwater? Even that he wasn't sure so he decided to keep quiet for this question. "That's nice. Now tell me why I would care?" Please go on, duck boy. Quote:
Originally Posted by Gabrielle WHAT? Scabior wasn't going to do anything about Anya being frozen? Glenn was about to shout out when Louisa beat her to it. She looked over at her, "I agree with Louisa. You can't just CONTINUE the lesson when there is someone frozen in the room!" Glare at Professor.
In Potions, she'd assumed it was some kind of prank or... something from a potion in the air. But now? AND Scabior was just continuing on like it was no big deal? Atlantis. She didn't know anything about and she didn't care at the moment. She wasn't answering until that stupid Professor did something about Anya. "Oh?" Another brow was raised. "Can't I? Wow. I wasn't aware that as a Professor I was not allowed to continue my own class upon my own choosing." Really, that was a shock. He didn't know that. "Ten points from Hufflepuff Miss Reyes for so rudely informing me of what I can and can not do." SPOILER!!: Atlantis people! Yay! Sorry no individual replies just wanted to separate. Quote:
Originally Posted by Harry174 Laura looked at the Professor and smiled, duh that was an easy question. "Well Professor what I know about the lost city is that it was lost." Laura smiled. "No one knows where it is, or if it's under ground, under the sea or somewhere above land but just hidden from our view, so it's lost, L...O...S...T." Laura looked at the Professor maybe the next question would be harder. Quote:

And... was professor Scabior INSANE?! How could he be so calm about it?! Did HE know something the others didn't? Nora was too afraid to even think about it. How could he even go on with the lesson?
Since there wasn't anything she could do about... the frozen girl, Nora raised her hand to answer his question. "It sank in one day and one night after a series of earthquakes and floods." Which was... sad. Awful. No one really knows much about it, eh? Quote:
Originally Posted by verbain Oh, and someone else had frozen. This was getting boring now. Call for the healer, did someone just ask? UMM.... what is the point? Everyone knew the girl would snap out of it in a second or two. Everyone else had done.
-_______-
Annoying. Just annoying. And the fact that it was a Gryffindor made it more annoying.
Back to the class... Theo had never heard of Atlantis. But it sounded like it was from a disney film or something. Shrugging, he raised his hand, "Is it a make-believe place from a fairytale book?" It was a long shot. Quote:
Originally Posted by Saraie One minute Asher was listening to Anya's answer and the next Anya was frozen. Blinking a few times. Was that all he was going to do? Send for help, to the healer no doubt and who knows how long that would take, she seemed to be crazy business from what he heard.
He sighed. So class was still going to happen even with Anya froze in the middle of it. Asher raised his hand, still keeping an eye on Anya. "Seafood, Sir. They had plenty of seafood.... since its a lost colony under the sea and all." Quote:
Originally Posted by Hermione Lily Potter Atlantas...

But hadn't there been something about it dealing with Cleopatra?? Maybe that was something else. So the second year put her hand in the air to answer with the obvious answer. "It sunk into the ocean. And nobody has been able to find it." Yeah, that was good enough... Cue note taking position, for when all those other answers came flooding in. No freezing here... Quote:
Originally Posted by Meizzner Well would you look at that, the teacher is completely ignoring Anya and is moving on with class. Nigel was a little shocked about that. But only for a minute, until the Professor mentioned Atlantis.
Yes, he was happy he was right. But right now he was more worried about Anya and whether or not more people will freeze in the class. He did not what to see a repeat of what happened in potions. But the other students did snap out of it in a couple minutes. So Nigel thought. He would answer the Professor's question and wait for the Nurse to come.
Nigel actually knew a lot about Atlantis because it was so cool and mysterious about what happened to it. He raised his hand and said" Professor, it is an island that was first mentioned by Plato. And after it failed to to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean. It sank in only a single day and night." That is really fast for a whole island to disappear. Quote:
Originally Posted by Macavity So apparently covered in molten lava and hidden for centuries or more under the cool hardened stone wasn't to be considered lost. Oh well...to each their own opinion of the matter. And it wasn't like he was much into that matter with Anya frozen and all. First Kurumi and now her, his friends, which were already few and far between, were slowly getting picked off by whatever was causing the freezing.
And Scabior simply wanted to continue after sending his patronus for the nurse. Yeah...Gideon now thought he was definantly less caring then Lafay, but then he wasn't legal related to the frozen student like the potions mistress to Sierra.
Okay Gert...you need to calm down and set a good example.
Which by what Louisa had just said...she wasn't following him in. And Ravenclaws were supposed to be the smart, responsible ones. "Atlantis is said to be an island. And some say it was lost during a shift in tides and possibly flooded," he answered after raising his hand and finally speaking up. Quote:

Then he heard a Gryffindor probably younger than him suggest that someone should kiss Anya. Oh look someone who agreed with him. Hmm..Maybe he should give it a try since the poking obviously not working.
But before he could leave his table, the Professor said they need to get back to the lesson. WAIT. So leave Fancy be? Till the healer here? Eek! Was Messer heard the Professor right? But there's nothing he could do since Scabior already made up his mind. The Hufflepuff frowned before turning his gazed back to the Professor who's not in good mood anymore.
Oh so they're talking about Atlantis? Nice. What do they know about it? Beside that its lost? Hmm.. Messer raised his hand "It said that the city had a marvel of architecture and engineering, Sir." he said then Messer took another quick gaze to frozen Anya. Quote:
Originally Posted by RachieRu People were freezing all over the place and they were still going to continue on the lesson. That was pretty good. Indy liked learning, so Professor Scabior was pretty epic in her books right now. He clearly cared about their education so much. Okay. Lost city of Atlantis. Indy hadn't heard of that. But. Surely the answer was kind of in the question. lost city of Atlantis. "It's lost?" Well. It was true. It was the lost city after all. Quote:

Was that defense mechanism to say he really was worried for her, or he was as mean as the rumors say and he just doesnt give a hoot? But he did send a patronus out-- of which Vickers was quite impressed with its form-- and saw the the Professor carried on with the lesson.
Part of him wondered if the Historian has spoken with the Potions Mistress and was advised not to give the students another free period scare.
Vickers at this point really REALLY doesnt want to be anywhere near anyone he thinks is contagious-- like that Gryffindor girl-- but the Professor said the magic word.
A T L A N T I S
Blue eyes brightened considerably. They were going to discuss about Atlantis in this class? Vickers paused for a moment before raising his hand "There have been research that Atlantis might be located somewhere amongst the Greek islands, some were saying that it could've been what is present day Thira, popularly known to tourists as Santorini. Researchers said that back when Santorini was still a whole island, it had a volcanic explosion so bad the entire center of the island disappeared underwater, and that this explosion sent a tsunami that ruined the Minoan civilization in the nearby island of Crete." anyway that was one of the more credible versions he's read. He's gonna skip the part about aliens from outer space leveling the whole place. Quote:

Atlantis is believed to be once habited by Greek descendants. That is why it is believed that the largest building on Atlantis is the Temple of Poseidon. It was a thriving city and the gateway for the great naval power of the Greeks."
"It is believed that Atlantis sank after their attempt to invade Athens failed. It just went 'Poof' underwater all in one day and everyone perished.'
"There are many rumors as to where the Lost City lies. Some have said that it lies near Portugal in the Atlantic Ocean while others say that it's near the Bermuda Triangle, or even Florida. There is one rumor that says that Atlantis will rise again one day." Quote:
Originally Posted by hpfan18 Annabelle heard the professor's question. She was never touched up upon Atlantis but she gave an guess that she knew. "Professor isn't Atlantis a lost city and then it perished and it was known today to be a lost city under the sea?" Quote:

Aspen's House hadn't got the message. She wondered why? If Scabior wasn't shouting and running for the Nurse, then there was nothing to worry about.
"I think... that what we "know" about Atlantis is more ... what we've been toldabout Atlantis. It all sounds like things made up to tell muggles. Like, you know, what the Muggle Excuse Committee at the Ministry tells muggles when they see magic. Maybe we don't actually KNOW anything about the misplaced city." Quote:
Originally Posted by hpluvr037 Keefer watched the eagle-wraith's flight around the classroom with interest. I wouldn't have pegged Scabior for the eagle type. But still, the Captain had to admit there was a certain sense of 'fit' to the match.
Right. If Scabior wanted to resume the lesson as usual, then they would. Whether everyone else dramatic Claws and younger students would do so as easily was an entirely different question. In an attempt to live up to his leadership role, he acted as if nothing was amiss and simply answered the question with a raised hand.
"Well actually, there isn't really anything known about it besides the name. There's plenty of speculation, but nothing is cold, hard fact." And that, after all, is what the Professor had asked for. What they knew about Atlantis. "So the only thing I KNOW about the lost city is its name.. and that it's lost." If it ever existed. Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Jory was surprised the Professor was so cool headed about the frozen student. This freezing stuff was happening in almost every class now.
Trying to get his attention back to the lesson, the Puff thought of Atlantis. He had certainly read on this city and it fascinated him. Though he couldn't remember much on it now.
Jory raised his hand. "The most common fact which goes around is that they city sank, Professor,'' he said. Quote:

Quote:
Originally Posted by Lollipop! Well, that was the end of Prefect Louisa.
Hmm, pity. Blue actually liked her. What was the big deal of freezing anyway? No Ravenclaws had frozen so, for the most part, there was no need to panic, people. The smarticles of the school would find a cure don't choo worry! What if they just plugged the Gryffindor's nose so that she would be shocked into unfreezing...? KISSING? Seriously? Eeeeeew. Blue narrowed her eyes and turned her attention back to Proffessor Scabior.
She raised her hand.
"It sunk, proffessor. And it features in muggle movies."
There.
She was basically a reference book, wasn't she? Back to his lesson. Dash took a deep breath, as a step to try to relax just a bit. It didn't work.
"I think we can all agree that the one thing the majority of your answers have in common, is that Atlantis is or is rumoured to be underwater." Yeah? Could they agree on this? There were other comments that he wanted to touch upon but would do so later. "Mister Vanderbilt was nice enough to give us the location of where some people believed Atlantis to have been located. Somewhere along the Greek Islands." Were they taking notes? Eh. He didn't even care at the moment. "While Miss Odessa figures we don't actually know anything about the misplaced city."
He let both theories essentially, sink in for a few seconds. "Now, many people side with Mister Vanderbilt and are certain that the city was along the Greek Islands, while others like Miss Odessa believe that we know nothing and it may just be a fable." Told out loud, and books, and movies. But there was something pressing about the whole thing.
"Why do you think there seems to be so much confusion around the City? Does it sound like a normal Muggle city to any of you?" OOC: Next post around 10 hours depending on how many replies I get!
