She peeked her brown head in and then the rest of her body followed as she gave the Professor a small smile.

“Hello Professor.” She said softly as she gave him a wave and then moved to a chair that was in the middle, she settled down at it and looked at the box on her desk, before her blue eyes moved to the board.

Anti theft charms hmm?
And the first student had arrived. Piers returned the smile with his own and a nod. ”Morning,” he replied as she sat down and then returned his eyes to the door.

Yeah, he was feeling that yawn too. Piers wasn’t really a morning person, you know? ”Morning,” he replied again to the yawner as she walked into the classroom and found her seat. Hopefully their discussion would wake up both of them.

She walked into the room and sat down at her usual spot right up front. She gave Professor Fuller-Thompson a half smile, definitely not her usual big face filling grin. "Morning sir." And no sing songy voice either. Just a standard greeting. She looked at the board and then at the little box in front of her. Well today was going to be an interesting lesson.
Ah, and there was Cassidy. The last time he saw her was at their unfortunately-ended health and wellness jog at the pathways. The memory gave him chills. But it was a new day and the mist was outside. Not in here. He nodded at the girl, noting that she seemed less cheerful than before. ”Good morning.”

STILL

"Hiya, Professor"

She said looking at him and then at the board. Oh interesting. Could be helpful in the dorm or at home really. Unless Vivi knew how to get about these types of charms being all miss fancy pantsy curse breaker in training she is.

It a seat she goes
And there was another from the events at the pathways. Both of the girls looked okay, at least and were hopefully not traumatized. Piers gave her a nod. ”Hello,” he responded simple as she found her seat.

Thankfully, she had downed a large cup of tea just before heading over to Charms class, so she was slightly warmed up. And she had remembered to bring her gloves today - thank Merlin, because the walk to the Charms classroom was chilly.

"Good morning, Professor," she said politely, trying to stifle a yawn. She took a seat next to a first year Gryffindor, Cassidy, who also didn't look very cheerful at this hour. "Hello there," Avalon said softly, giving her a weak smile. She wasn't sure if she should ask the girl how she was doing. She certainly didn't look like her normal self. But Avalon didn't want to pry. So she glanced down at the box on her desk, her curiosity instantly piquing as to what might be inside.
The cold weather was quite depressing, especially with that unnatural foggy mist on the grounds. Hopefully it wouldn’t last long. Piers nodded at the next girl to walk in. ”Good morning.” What was her name again? Would he ever learn them? Probably not.

"Morning, Professor." Sebastian said with a small smile. "Morning all." He said with a wink and a cheeky grin. He wasn't sure if Kam wanted him to sit next to her today so he sat behind her instead. He began to pull out his supplies so he would be ready for the lesson, worrying the whole time about the girl sitting in front of him.
Ah, good, a smile. He could do with one of those. Piers returned the small smile to the next student that walked in. ”Good morning,” he responded pleasantly as the kid found his seat.

But for every point in his favor, he also did weird things like munch on bean toast and gave false hope to hopeful students looking to transfer Houses. She also did not join his wellness club. Because the thought of “””exercising””” with her classmates was enough to make her want to convulse. She would much rather do yoga out on the quad by herself.

But charms was a useful subject. And as such, her opinion of the man would never affect her approach to the class itself. As she made her way inside the room, she kept her typical look of displeasure in place... Only to immediately begin grinning upon reading what was on the board. Only to AGAIN drop the smile and replace it with a neutral expression. Merlin forbid if anyone saw she was actually excited to LEARN.

She paused briefly to acknowledge her Professor with a look, before making her way to the middle of the room where she could hopefully blend in with the rest of the class and get away with staying silent during the Q&A portion. Though she only allowed herself to get excited about it in secret, this lesson would hopefully prove to be very useful. Gunnar had promised to teach her some protective spells too and she still planned on receiving personal lessons from him (cute boy, all to herself, duh), but every spell to keep Karlin away from her things was truly a huge help. Living with a professional pickpocket in your dormitory was an actual nightmare.
And then there was Nina. The girl who came to his office and probably lied to him to try and get out of the Slytherin house. Didn’t she know that no one got out of their house? Especially liars. Anyway, he SAW that look she was giving him. Maybe it was just her way of saying hello, but he returned the look and then looked past her to the next student.

Cordelia walked by the professor on her way in to the charms classroom. ”Morning, Professor.” There was nothing particularly good about cold mornings, so Cordelia just left the good out of her greeting entirely. Her first thought at seeing the box on her desk was that she would love to decorate the box and make it look pretty. That probably wasn’t what the professor intended for them to do today, however. Considering the message on the board she was guessing they would be learning ways to keep people out of locked boxes, and by extension other locked places.
There were a lot of “morning” greetings, he noticed, that were not preceded by a “good”. It was just an observation. Perhaps this cold and damp winter was getting to them. ”Good morning,” he replied to the next student, his eyes glancing towards the clock. Almost time to start.

She’d half-been tempted to try and smuggle creatures inside the castle away from it all, but so far she’d resisted. Danger was usual at Hogwarts, but that didn’t change that she wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about the recent developments. Even Charms, which usually raised her spirits even given the change in professors after Professor Marchand’s retirement from his posts, wasn’t working quite as well as usual, as a subject.

She’d still managed a smile for the professor, however. It wasn’t his fault Hogwarts was developing a case of fog. At least, she didn’t think it was. He seemed just as wary of the mists as anyone was. “Good morning, Professor Fuller-Thompson,” she greeted him, making her way to her usual seat. The box only received a cursory glance, along with the phrase on the board. Anti-Theft. It made her wonder what the significance was in the bigger picture. Maybe there was a reason he’d chosen to teach the subject now?
Ah, a full-namer. Life at Hogwarts was a little bit more simple when his name was just Professor Fuller. The added name made his name rather long. It almost tempted him to just have the kids call him by his first name. But that was probably “unprofessional”. ”Good morning, Stasya.”

She made her way to her usual seat in the middle of the classroom and quickly glanced at the wooden box in front of her, before looking up at the blackboard. Daisy raised an eyebrow in interest.
This student looked as tired as he felt. He nodded to Daisy. ”Hello, student.”

The slight lack of sleep wasn't going to break her spirit though and it was with her usual cheerful attitude that she entered the classroom.

"Good morning, Professor," Rylee greeted warmly on the way to her seat. It was only after settling at her desk that she allowed her attention to focus on the box that was there and than the words on the board. Anti-Theft Magic. Interesting. Her curiosity was certainly peaked right now.
And this one was tired... but optimistic. At least that was the vibe he was getting from her when she walked in. ”Good morning,” he replied with a small smile as she found her seat.

"Hello Professor." And also head-of-house. And also mentor, she supposed. She really did need to pick his brain about possible career choices she might want to look into. Maybe she'd try and talk to him after class.

For the moment, the brunette found herself a seat and considered the box in front of her and how, given the subject matter, she might arm it with an alarm.
Ah, and there was his prefect. Well, one of them. He seemed to see more of this one than the other, though. But Vita had been at the pathways with him when the mist appeared and shook them to the core, so he was glad to see her today. ”Vita,” he greeted with a nod.

So instead he headed to the back row, looking curiously at every single box he passed on his way there.

When he sat down, he immediately turned his attention to the box on his chosen desk. It looked exactly the same as all of the other boxes, but this one was his and so he was going to pick it up, and shake it against his ear.

Were they allowed to open it? Jó glanced around to see what everyone else was doing.
Oh good, another optimistic one. Piers nodded at the next boy that walked in. ”Hello there,” he replied, less enthusiastically as he found his seat.

But it wasn't long before the news of the mist reached his ears, making him even more glad that he didn't do exercise.

But even if he wasn't taking part in that club, coming to Charms lesson was a must and so, he was here. "Morning, Professor," he mumbled, shooting him a small smile as he wandered over towards an empty seat and....... a wooden box? He looked up and around, noting that everyone else had wooden boxes as well, and then noticing the three words written on the board.

And then it made all the sense.

Anti-theft? So was this going to attack if he touched it? Or set off an alarm?
No, the box wouldn’t attack if he touched it. It wouldn’t really do anything just yet. The mumble didn’t really match the smile on the kid’s face, but... it was time to get started. ”Morning,” he replied, checking the clock again.

If anything he had been feeling more tired since winter break ended, his blonde hair was fully brunette now from lack of sun-brightening. It was quite chilly today so he was wrapped with his blanket around still. This was Charms class though, so perhaps he won't need it for long.

"Morning, Professor." Tad greeted, shaking his curls out of his eyes to wake himself. Maybe the cold would help wake him up, so he dropped the blanket into his seat before sitting down. There was a box. Hmm.. Anti-Theft magic. He was very curious now.
Alright, after this kid, the lesson would start. Piers nodded at him as he entered the classroom. ”Good morning,” he responded politely. There. Now it was time.


And it was time to get started.

Piers pushed himself off the edge of the desk and waved his wand to shut to the classroom door. ”Alright everyone, quiet down. Time to get started.” Piers paused a moment to roll up the sleeves on his dress shirt and waited for the students to quiet down so he could get started.

”Anti theft magic,” he said, gesturing to the chalkboard, in case some of the students hadn’t looked at it yet. ”It comes in a few different forms and is very useful in protecting special items.” He was being vague for a reason. ”So, let’s start by discussing what we may know about it. Do you know any spells? What they work on and what they don’t? Tell me everything you think you know about anti theft magic - go.” And he would write stuff down on the board.


OOC: Class has officially begun! Posting your characters arriving to class late MAY have IC consequences, but hey! That might be fun. Go ahead and have your character answer something about anti theft magic. It can be real or can be totally made up. Up to you! Class will move on in about 24 hours from this post.
