Alice waited until the very last student had come in through the doors. She didn't move her seat and she didn't slouch even the slightest in the whole time of waiting. To set an example and all that.

Something that mildly troubled her was seein how disorientated Ms. Castillo seemed to be. Was she ill? That could bode ill for what she had in mind for today's lesson. Hmm. She'd keep an eye on her just in case.

"All right, students, please stand if you are sitting. Our subject for today's lesson is ghosts." Yes, they were jumping right into it. She clasped her hands together and quickly looked at all the assembled students. Seemed everyone was here. Very good. "You have all been graciously invited to attend the Death Day party of Edgar Cloggs. Please follow me to the spirit room. Prefects, bring up the rear and make sure no one falls behind."

With that, the history of magic teacher strolled out the entry doors and began walking down the corridor. She could tell without looking back that the students were right behind her.

"Can you all hear me?" she called out in a louder than usual voice (though not exactly shouting) as they walked down the corridor. "Stick closely to one another so you can hear when I speak. We are going to be brushing up on our knowledge of ghosts as we make our way to the party. Who here would like to volunteer an interesting fact about one of our school's many fascinating ghosts? Discuss." She was structuring this question more to be a conversation starter than a pop quiz. It would be about twenty minutes until they arrived, so they had time.


ooc:So many replies - woot! So even though technically we are walking through the castle, we'll keep posting in this thread until we arrive at the party. Next post will have a personal reply to everyone.
