She turned and smiled at the Professor, "Howzit, Professor Truebridge? How was your break? Did you stay out of trouble?" she finished with a wink and her usual smile.
She watched as others filed in and hoped to see some of her friends.
"Hello Satine. I had a good break, I spent the majority of it in Egypt." Ethan answered with a nod. Stay out of trouble though? Hmm. He decided not to answer that part.

"Hey, sir," Jake nodded to the man, before grabbing a cushion and chucking it on the floor in an empty space (there were loads now). "Why are we... you know... up here?"
"Well. The new astronomy professor is..." Now how was he supposed to warn them about Borr without being ridiculously disrespectful?
"...Not used to climbing so many stairs."

Entering the classroom, he saw that there weren't desks, but cushions. They certainly looked comfortable. Tibi just hoped he wouldn't fall asleep.
Hoisting his bag further up his tiny shoulder, Tibi made his way to a center cushion. "Hello, Professor," he said, as he settled in, taking out some parchment and a quill.
Seeing Jake already here, he raised a hand in greating. He hadn't seen him since that day on the train.
"Hello new blood." Truebridge greeted gravely.

"And you." Ethan nodded, glad the little first year was not only polite, but eager to learn.

"Whitney, welcome." Ethan winked at the young Slytherin.

She folded her hands patiently in her lap and waited, humming a very annoying tune in her head.
GIT OUTTA MAH HEAD!
Oh.
Humming.
Professor Truebridge had to concentrate hard not to hum alo... it was no use. He picked up the tune and started to whistle a harmony to it, offering Emalyn a surprisingly serious little wink.

"Take a cushion and sit on the floor. Get comfortable." Ethan invited the young girl to join her classmates.

"Welcome, do make yourself comfortable." Truebridge answered in greeting.

"And hello and welcome to the rest of you too." Truebridge greeted the other students who had arrived and sat quietly.
"First of all, yes History of Magic is being held up here in the Astronomy tower until further notice. The professor who has been employed to teach astronomy,"
Ethan chose his words carefully, since he was 100 percent positive the students would be learning about the gastronomical and not the astronomical.
"Is now located in my old office and classroom. Do ensure you are polite and welcoming and I suggest that you stay out of his way to allow him to... settle in."
That was about the best warning Ethan could give really.
"Today we are going to start with the 'boring' stuff. I am quite aware that not everyone has such a fondness for magical history as I do myself, but I'll try to make it at least a tiny bit interesting. And so, to start with who can tell me one thing they know about History of Magic? You can be as broad or as precise with your answers but do make sure it is just one thing."
