Once she had the last of her classroom supplies up into Cassie’s room with the aid of a levitating charm, Nessa took her place at the front of the room to await the students’ arrival and to chat a bit with her best friend while they waited. She thought it ingenious to have a class together for several reasons, one of which was because the swamp had still overtaken much of the corridor on her floor and she was needing to find alternate locations to hold class. But this worked out perfect as their subject for class today was a great combination for the two of them. And it was sure to be fun!

“Aren’t you just so excited?” she beamed, turning to Cassie as she took the seat next to her. Why hadn’t they thought of this sooner? Maybe they should do more joint lessons, as long as they could find the relevance and as long as everything worked out today. But she didn’t see why it wouldn’t. “So everything’s ready, right?” Nessa glanced around the room a bit, noting that her supplies were in the correct place. Gosh, the room just looked so fab! She really liked the new arrangement. “Are you ready?” Eeep, she was just about as excited as she was for her first ever class here. Now for the students to come in. Oooh, maybe she should contribute to the snap cup!

Eden NEVER knew how to make an entrance into Professor Glendower's classes. She usually just...walked in and....smiled. In that goofy, Eden way. But today she peeked in and saw Professor MORGAN, too. Had there been an announcement about the joint lesson? OOPS. Eden really needed to start PAYING ATTENTION to the announcement thingies. Because hahahahaha. She was terrible at it.

She curtsied as she entered the classroom. There. Not her usual entrance but it was polite and stuff. "Professors--" she smiiiiiiled and nodded at them before going to find a seat. This should be SO interesting...History AND Divination...she was QUITE curious to see how they'd link together.

Plopping down, she dropped her bag to the ground and leaned back in her seat. She'd get out her notebook in juuuust a second--she wanted to see who else showed up first. Someone cool to sit next tooooo? Hopefully.

....And Eden had to write a snap cup thing. Sigh. Here:

Angel was totally ready for this lesson and now she had to sort things out with identification. She walked slowly towards the classroom and then stopped at the door. "Hey Professors, I know that they are two of you but can I see Identification papers please?" Angel had her hands close to her pocket so she could get her wand out if she needed it.

A joint lesson with Professors Cassie and Glendower sounded amazing, so of course Lux was looking forward to this class. It would be a nice distraction from missing Bay as well as what had happened recently.

Entering the room, she did a little dance. "Hello, Professors! Hello, Eden and Angel!" Not too many people were here yet, but that would change soon. She was really curious to know what Divination and History of Magic had in common.

Taking a seat by Eden, Lux noticed the strawberries and felt herself start to itch. There was no way she could eat those or even touch them. Honestly she hadn't even bothered taking more of the allergy potion after Third Year because she was so good at avoiding them by now and Bay basically avoided them as well for her sake.

Noticing the snap cup sitting on a small stage, she pulled out a piece of paper so that she could write down her proud moment:

Quote:

I am proud that I am studying so hard for OWLs.

After placing her paper into the cup, she went to pet one of Professor Cassie's cats for a bit before heading back to her seat and pulling out everything she would need for the lesson.

It felt strange showing up to class again, going through the old routine. Was he expected to just pretend like nothing had happened? Because he wasn't going to. As he walked up to the trapdoor, he did take note of the familiar HoM entrance sign. Uh-no offense Professors, but he wasn't feeling all up for making an entrance. Actually, showing up to classes was an entrance all on it's own, huh? Merlin. This was one of his first since... the forrest thing.

Would he get strange looks?

Ahem. He wasn't going to think about it. "Hello Professors," he gave them both a simple bob of the head as he walked towards one of the long tables. Did they hate him too? And of course the snap cup. But what was there to be proud of? Getting his Prefect badge back AFTER having lost it? Surviving detention? Watching a kid die in the forbidden forrest? Letting Aegis convince him to walk into the forrest to begin with?

SPOILER!!: Snap cup thing, sort of

I'm not proud of anything.

At least he wrote something down? After slipping it into the cup, he walked back to take a seat at the table farthest from the two Professor's chairs at the front. Maybe he shouldn't have come.... Would Kevin be here? Please.

This should be an interesting lesson, right? Adi thought it would be. Feeling refreshed today because he had retired early the previous night and so he had a great night's rest, he headed into the classroom for the lesson, opting to make a regular entrance today.

"Hello, Professor Cassie, Professor Morgan!'' he said brightly to them. Oh and heeeeey, kitties! The fifth year instantly picked out the short Professor's felines as he had seen them so many times.

Of course there was the snap cup and of course Adi had brought his proud moment which he deposited on his way to take a seat beside Lux. "Hey, Lady Lux. Hi, Eden.'' Adi had not missed his other friend close by. Angel and Zander also got smiles when he looked around at them.

Dante had never been up here for a class. Probably because he never took an Divination class. It was confession time. Though it was a long walk from his common room and though if you are a claw this would be an easy walk. A luck break for them compared to other classes.

Well this was a fancy set up.

Dante saw the make an entrance sign which is usually on the HoM room door and did his usual and not make an entrance. Consistent he was. Just walk in and go to a seat.

Though thankfully not soaking wet this time. It was nice.

"Hi Professor G and Hi Professor"

Joint lessons were pretty legit because you got through double the work in less time. AJ actually enjoyed both subjects. It was too bad that it wasn't ancient runes and arithmancy. Actually, scratch that. Way worse. As she made her way to the door, she was pleased to see that making an entrance was still a thing even though divination was going to be taught as well.

AJ took a running start, and skidded all the way into the classroom on her knees. She got some pretty gnarly distance too. "Hiii, professors," she said as she jumped up. What was up with the decor? And was that a stage? Oh, look, kitties.

Familiar faces everywhere. Her boyfriend and sister were both there, and they got smiles and waves. Zander caught her eye, and she noticed that he seemed off. Like, really, REALLY off. She went over and took a seat by him. "You okay?"

Was it just her or did they do this joint lesson thing a lot? This one was gonna be GREAT though, 'cause Professor Glendower and Professor Cassie were probably the nicest people in the entire universe. So, Norah was all smiles on the way to the trap door, which felt good and kind of weird 'cause nobody did a lot of smiling these days because reasons. But ANYWAYS. Nice Professors! Happy things!

The third year waved her arms around as she crossed the threshold of the classroom 'cause apparently that happened in the Divination room too when Professor Glendower was here too. Ooh! And still a snap cup and EVERYTHING. She grinned at both professors and said a bright, "Hello!" before pulling a quill from her bag and writing on a slip of paper for the snap cup.

Quote:

I'm proud that I smiled all the way here even though everybody's sad now

TA DA. Norah paused to stuff a strawberry into her mouth before taking a seat and looking expectantly at the two Professors. She didn't even get any red juice on the white table or ANYTHING. Man, she was all up on the proud stuff today, YEP.

Why were these two classes combined? Why?

Hugo wasn't very fond of HoM and Divination, so...yeah, it was hard to accept this.

The boy entered the room, he didn't like the lavender smell...and the cats. He slightly coughed, trying to not looked bothered. "What's up professors?" greeted both of them with a half-smile. He quickly wrote down his proud moment, "I'm proud that I haven't fall asleep in any class" a round of applause to him.

Hugo sat down next to Dante. "I already feel bored...". Sigh.

You know what? He can always use some relaxed kind of class such as this. What’s better is that Professor Glendower and Professor Morgan are teaming up this time. Shouldn’t be a boring class, no? Theirs is always entertaining , especially with the different reactions they get from the students.

Following protocol, the sixteen year old got a piece of clean parchment and wrote down one of his proud moments. The answer used to be easy, but he was struggling this time. It took him time, but he was able to write something decent, and dropped the folded parchment into the Snap Cup.

Ahead were the best friend professors. “Helloooooo professors!” The long greeting should be enough for the two of them, no? Merlin, isn’t it great to be back in school? Hehe.



Ethan settled down behind his fellow Slytherins Dante and Hugo. HEY GUYS! SUP? Ethan placed his chin on the table and spied on the two young snakes. These two got potential, he can feel it in his bones. “Keep your eyes open, boys.” Ethan butted in and gave the two boys a ‘sup nod.

Make an entrance... yes... yes he would. He would do this by walking through the door INTO the classroom. Go figure. Big thing. HUGE.

...

Zeke wasn't sure how this whole past meets future lesson thing was going to go, be here he was with his semi-open mind. Yep.

"Hi Professor Cassie, hi Professor Glendower," he greeted before moving to a table and starting his pre-lesson ritual of snap cup considerations.

WHAT was he proud of? Pleased about?

...

Hhmm?

Really, two things came to mind. The first, that he'd survived - and though this was his USUAL response, it seemed a little fitting and a little inappropriate considering someone DIDN'T survive. Whoops? The second thing to come to mind was that he acquired new skills, or at least, that these skills were now known.

With that in mind he scribbled his snaps and submitted it before returning to his seat.

SPOILER!!: snap cup

I'm proud that I've survived (still) and that I'm a parseltonguemouthperson

Brooklyn still didn’t particularly think there was much of a point to the subject of Divination, especially since Tywin had to stay down in her dorm room this time. But then, it was hard enough finding her way past the stupid swamp by herself. Getting her cat past it would have just been that much more difficult, even though she still had the raft she’d taken from that History of Magic lesson shortly after the swamp had first gone crazy. She just hoped it went back to normal sooner rather than later. There was way too much going on t the castle lately. It was irritating, and having to navigate her way up to the Divination classroom only made it more so. Too bad she hadn’t found someone who would carry her.

As per usual, she didn’t make a crazy entrance. Just her normal proper proud walk into the classroom. Normal for History of Magic, anyway. She didn’t do crazy. She’d eyed the snap cup thing, before turning a polite smile to both of the professors at the front. “Hello Professor Glendower. Professor Morgan,” she greeted them, noticing the former Slytherin prefect and arrowing over near where he was sitting. She’d only recently seen Ethan around the castle again, and yet she remembered he was useful. In case there was need for useful during the lesson. She still guessed Hady would find her way up here too.

Oh, and the snap cup thing. She found a piece of parchment in her bag and scribbled something out quickly, snagging a strawberry on her way to drop it in the cup before returning to her chosen seat.

SPOILER!!: snap cup

I’m proud I got past the swamp to get up here.

Bambi had debated for days whether to show up to this lesson. History of Magic was the one lesson she really couldn't afford to miss because she was absolutely awful at it but the seventh year had ditched Divination a loooooooong time ago.

In the end, her absolutely horrendous knowledge of History of Magic won against her reservations about Divination and she found herself following her house mates to the- trapdoor?

Well, okay.

Copying what the rest of the students were doing, Bambi walked into the divination classroom and stared, the HoM Professor's usual request for an 'entrance' forgotten. Holy cow... If every lesson was like this she'd have taken Divination just for the strawberries! Grinning happily, she made her way through the tables and nodded to Professor Glendower and, er, that other one who's name she'd temporarily forgotten but would remember shortly. Yes.

Taking a seat at the table with Lux and Eden, she picked out a strawberry and quickly ate it before anyone told her she'd have to wait until after the lesson or something horrible like that. She LOVED strawberries, and could not resist them. "Hey guys," she said after she'd swallowed, and wiggled her fingers in a small wave at the Hufflepuff prefect whom she'd seen around but never actually met.

Then she noticed everyone seemed to be writing something and putting it in a.. cup? Oh OH OH SHE REMEMBERED yes the professor's name was Professor Cassie and she had some rule thing about putting something they were proud of in a box. Or cup. She'd probably remembered it wrong.

Huh. Well.

Quote:

I'm proud that for the past two weeks I've been studying really hard for my NEWTs.

She was going to write something about her inherent laziness, but figured the professors really didn't need to know about that. And let's hope she keeps it up, because she was known for her terrible habit of breaking right before exams and that was never good. Standing up, she went and put her slip of parchment before returning to her table and waiting.

"Hi Professor Glendower, hi Professor Morgan," Toby greeted the two women as he entered the classroom, already wondering what sort of things would be covered in a combo class of this nature.

It had been a bit tricky, Making An Entrance into a room where you had to climb up through a front door to get in. Hopefully that was entrance enough. Really, Toby thought to himself, he needed to start planning his entrances in advance, because more often than not he ended up blanking on what to do and just opting out.

And another thing he needed to think of in advance was those proud moments to go into the snap cup. Toby was stood right in front of it now, parchment at the ready, realising that... he had nothing. Absolutely nothing. He could not drum up a single positive thought to go in there. Not that he was necessarily sad or anything... it was just... hard to explain. Even thinking of a proud thing about someone ELSE had him all a little flustered because if he chose one person that felt like playing favourites and it was all just much more stressful than it needed to be.

Instead of any of that, aware of how long he'd been dithering there, Toby decided against any of it. He dropped his blank piece of folded parchment into the snap cup and darted away, already feeling suuuuuper guilty about it. He took a seat as far back as possible and proceeded the snacks that were on the table. Strawberries? For them?

A joint lesson witb two class he did not like. This was going to be fantastic! Cue sarcasm. As be entered the room and watched the classroom and its long tables and whatnot. It looked more like some fancy restaurant to him though. In the corner he saw costumes and the Gryffindor sighed.

He now looked around at the students, in the hope to find his best driend. He couldn't avoid going to class that long or else he would definitely fail his owls. And as he looked he saw thr two professors but didn't greet them because he saw him.

Not caring at the moment that his cool image was broken, Kevin literally ran through the classroom, grabbed his wand and WHACKED the wood on top of his head. "YA! You bloody idiot, I missed you man!" ugh he was annoyed, but also happy. Hmmm.

And no snap cup for him cause he was too busy staring at his friend. "Why have you been avoiding me?" he demanded.

Hady made her way to the joint lesson without much trouble. A lesson was a lesson no matter how it was done and she'd attend just the same as always. She never really did the whole 'make an entrance' thing so as usual she simply walked in.

"Hello Professors," She greeted warmly giving them a small wave. Nods being sent to each of her friends as she passed by them all on her way to the snap cup thingy. Getting a slip of parchment ready she pulled out her quill and neatly scrawled down her proud moment before folding it up and dropping it into the cup.

Quote:

Proud Moment

I suppose I'm proud of the fact that I can learn advanced charms on my own.

Yeah that was a good one and true even if it took her some time to learn them. That done she made her way to an empty seat and slipped down into it silently. Taking out what she'd need she set it all onto her desk and waited.

SPOILER!!: Nessa

"This is sooooo exciting!" Cassie couldn't even contain her excitement. She had been snapping so much her fingers were actually a little swollen, but that didn't stop her from continuing her happy celebration. She had been ready for this class ever since they figured it out. A combined class with her bestie! It was just to good not to be excited and she hoped the students were just as ready as she was.

Her tea sat down on the little table near them, she looked around the room as Nessa did. "Yes I think everything is ready. The cats will be good, I haven't noticed them doing anything crazy." Thank Merlin, these kids didn't need bad crazy, but anything good crazy could be welcomed. It had been a few months, but she noticed the positive vibes around the castle were still fully missing. She didn't blame them, but she wanted to help make it a little brighter. "I'm always ready! Are you?" She knew Nessa would be ready, letting her green eyes go to the door, their first student was arriving. YAY!

SPOILER!!: Eden

....And Eden had to write a snap cup thing. Sigh. Here:

A curtsy a cute! Cassie snapped at her entrance, "Eden, hellllllo! How are you today dear?" She seemed happy and Cassie was hoping this would be the start of a positively happy bunch coming in.

As much as Cassie enjoyed Nessa's entrances this one, well she was tilting her head. Not really an entrance, but it was different. "What a unique entrance Angel. Very good." She smiled and gave the Gryffindor some snaps. Wanting to play along she acted like she was looking around, "I'm sorry Angel all of my identification is in my office, but I can gladly show you after class." Now she could go do the snapcup and find her seat.

SPOILER!!: Lux

Noticing her look at the strawberries she wondered if she didn't like them. "Everything alright Lux?" She had other things, she always did if someone didn't like them.

Seeing Zander come into the room made Cassie's happy bubble pop just a bit. She could feel the sad bouncing off of him and she hated seeing one of the most happy people she usually knew sad. "Zander, hello" She tried to be cheerful towards him. "I hope you are doing well. You know you can come visit if you ever need anything." She was always there for her students if they ever needed anything.

Seeing another student come in, Cassie had seen this one around, but never in her lessons, so this was exciting to get a few new ones in the room. "Hello, how are you today?" She gave the boy some snaps, his vibe seemed mellow which wasn't bad, at least it wasn't grumpy or sad. She'd take it.

It seemed like they were back to the calmer vibes, which wasn't too bad. What's up? That was an interesting way to enter a room, but she snapped and smiled, "Well the sun, the sky, and a cheerful day of possibilities." Proudly smiling at her answer towards his question, she snapped a little more.

She’d only recently seen Ethan around the castle again, and yet she remembered he was useful. In case there was need for useful during the lesson. She still guessed Hady would find her way up here too.

Oh, and the snap cup thing. She found a piece of parchment in her bag and scribbled something out quickly, snagging a strawberry on her way to drop it in the cup before returning to her chosen seat.

SPOILER!!: snap cup

I’m proud I got past the swamp to get up here.

"Good Day Brooklyn" She watched the young Slytherin walk into the room. Giving the young lady a few snaps, Cassie picked up her tea to take a few more sips. She had to have her traditional before class peppermint tea. It calmed her for her focus, but she also just enjoyed it.

SPOILER!!: Bambi

Well, okay.

Copying what the rest of the students were doing, Bambi walked into the divination classroom and stared, the HoM Professor's usual request for an 'entrance' forgotten. Holy cow... If every lesson was like this she'd have taken Divination just for the strawberries! Grinning happily, she made her way through the tables and nodded to Professor Glendower and, er, that other one who's name she'd temporarily forgotten but would remember shortly. Yes.

Taking a seat at the table with Lux and Eden, she picked out a strawberry and quickly ate it before anyone told her she'd have to wait until after the lesson or something horrible like that. She LOVED strawberries, and could not resist them. "Hey guys," she said after she'd swallowed, and wiggled her fingers in a small wave at the Hufflepuff prefect whom she'd seen around but never actually met.

Then she noticed everyone seemed to be writing something and putting it in a.. cup? Oh OH OH SHE REMEMBERED yes the professor's name was Professor Cassie and she had some rule thing about putting something they were proud of in a box. Or cup. She'd probably remembered it wrong.

Huh. Well.



She was going to write something about her inherent laziness, but figured the professors really didn't need to know about that. And let's hope she keeps it up, because she was known for her terrible habit of breaking right before exams and that was never good. Standing up, she went and put her slip of parchment before returning to her table and waiting.

Another older student come into the room and Cassie beamed as she walked near the stage. "Hello" THe girl had just nodded, but it was still nice to say hello, she just wished they would make some more creative entrances. *sigh* seemed like the atmosphere since January had been coming down. It was their jobs as professors to bring it back and she was going to try her hardest. So snaps for her for just coming to class today.

SPOILER!!: Toby

It had been a bit tricky, Making An Entrance into a room where you had to climb up through a front door to get in. Hopefully that was entrance enough. Really, Toby thought to himself, he needed to start planning his entrances in advance, because more often than not he ended up blanking on what to do and just opting out.

And another thing he needed to think of in advance was those proud moments to go into the snap cup. Toby was stood right in front of it now, parchment at the ready, realising that... he had nothing. Absolutely nothing. He could not drum up a single positive thought to go in there. Not that he was necessarily sad or anything... it was just... hard to explain. Even thinking of a proud thing about someone ELSE had him all a little flustered because if he chose one person that felt like playing favourites and it was all just much more stressful than it needed to be.

Instead of any of that, aware of how long he'd been dithering there, Toby decided against any of it. He dropped his blank piece of folded parchment into the snap cup and darted away, already feeling suuuuuper guilty about it. He took a seat as far back as possible and proceeded the snacks that were on the table. Strawberries? For them?

Seeing Toby come in the class, she knew he's have positivity jumping off of him. He always seemed to be a happy Puff. "Hello Tobby, how are you?" She gave him snaps as well. "Bludger stay in your room today?" She did enjoy seeing all the kitties around the school this term. Maybe she'd make it okay for them to come to class every day next term. She wouldn't mind as long as the lesson was still able to go on.

SPOILER!!: Kevin

A joint lesson witb two class he did not like. This was going to be fantastic! Cue sarcasm. As be entered the room and watched the classroom and its long tables and whatnot. It looked more like some fancy restaurant to him though. In the corner he saw costumes and the Gryffindor sighed.

He now looked around at the students, in the hope to find his best driend. He couldn't avoid going to class that long or else he would definitely fail his owls. And as he looked he saw thr two professors but didn't greet them because he saw him.

Not caring at the moment that his cool image was broken, Kevin literally ran through the classroom, grabbed his wand and WHACKED the wood on top of his head. "YA! You bloody idiot, I missed you man!" ugh he was annoyed, but also happy. Hmmm.

And no snap cup for him cause he was too busy staring at his friend. "Why have you been avoiding me?" he demanded.

The next one in the room did not say hello, but his entrance was an entrance. "Bravo for actually giving an effort to the directions of making an entrance Kevin." She snapped happily at his entrance though maybe it wasn't suppose to be the entrance for class, but she didn't realize this.

SPOILER!!: Hady

Hady made her way to the joint lesson without much trouble. A lesson was a lesson no matter how it was done and she'd attend just the same as always. She never really did the whole 'make an entrance' thing so as usual she simply walked in.

"Hello Professors," She greeted warmly giving them a small wave. Nods being sent to each of her friends as she passed by them all on her way to the snap cup thingy. Getting a slip of parchment ready she pulled out her quill and neatly scrawled down her proud moment before folding it up and dropping it into the cup.

Proud Moment

I suppose I'm proud of the fact that I can learn advanced charms on my own.
Yeah that was a good one and true even if it took her some time to learn them. That done she made her way to an empty seat and slipped down into it silently. Taking out what she'd need she set it all onto her desk and waited.

Seeing another student come into the room Cassie was starting to feel her own happy bubble deflating more, did Nessa have better luck in her own classroom with this make an entrance. She sure hoped so. "Hello Hady, How are you today?" She sipped more of her tea before setting it down.


Seeing that the students had stopped coming in so much Cassie got up, "If you don't mind before we officially start I'm going to do my snapcup." Looking towards her friend, though she noticed the lack of snaps in it. Shame really. She was very disappointed in this.

"Hello again everyone, I hope you all found your way up here without any trouble today. We will be starting the lesson shortly, but I just wanted to take a moment to do our traditional snapcup, though I'm seeing some of you were not feeling up to it today, which is a shame. The Snapcup is to help with moral, positivity, and just over all encouragement. In times like we had a few months ago we need all the positive vibes we can. We as a school family have to look out for each other and help bring back happy in times of sad." It had been two months, so with children she would have thought things would be back to normal by now.

Looking to her snapcup she picked up the first on, "I'm proud that for the past two weeks I've been studying really hard for my NEWTs. That's just wonderful, Snaps for studying." Pulling out the next one she smiled, "I suppose I'm proud of the fact that I can learn advanced charms on my own." That must be one of the older students, well bravo, "Snaps for advanced charms." She snapped happily, picking up the next one she did frown, she wasn't a frowner, but she did frown it was blank. They were not even trying anymore. She fixed her face to be a smile once more and set it down. Then moved the snapcup over, "Okay it seems that we need a pick me up to bring back some of the positive vibes in the room. " She just couldn't do Divination with negativity.

"You have noticed the strawberries and sparkling water, that is yours for the taking, if you do not like strawberries I do have some Birthday Cupcakes for the end of lesson to celebrate Professor Glendowers birthday yesterday. Also, like last class if you have an allergy to cats or even the strawberries I do have some potions near the tea. For the next minute or so, I'd like you to turn to one person and tell them something positive, a compliment, an encouragement, something you like about them. Anything really, but it has to be positive."


OOC: Mj will officially start the lesson in a little bit.

Ethan raised his head and grinned at the very positive professor. “I’m doing well now, Professor Cassie. Thanks for asking.” Well he needed to be rushed out of school a few months ago because he was sick, but all’s well now with him. Apparently, during his leave, big things happened. Ethan inwardly sighed at the thought and cleared up his headspace for the lesson ahead. Seriously it is his OWL year and he needs to FOCUS big time. Gregoire would hate it if he was all sad and stuff anyway...

So...strawberries and sparking water, eh? Fancy! Ethan picked one strawberry from the shared plate on their table and examined it first by sniffing it. Well it smelled lavander to him still, but who cares! It’s food and it has nowhere else to go but inside his mouth and down to his stomach.

Chomp.



...and whoever has allergies...well, sucks to be them. Ethan continued to eat as his eyes wandered in front. Obviously they’ll be having some sort of show, given that Professor Glendower is present. He turned to look around the room, and his eyes fell on another young, feisty Slytherin. Well, Professor Cassie said to compliment someone right? Shouldn’t hurt to flatter a second year. “Hello Brooklyn. Nice hair!” Girls like that kind of compliment, right?

Norah kept smiling a bit at Professor Cassie 'cause she was doing a good job trying to keep up the happy thing. Plus, cupcakes! She stuffed another strawberry in her mouth as she snapped for the people. Looking down at her hands when her fingers slipped while she attempted snapping, she saw it was dripping some strawberry juice and immediately proceeded to wipe her fingers on her robes. Nobody saw that, right? Her mum always saw but she wasn't here so HA.

The thirteen year old peered around at the backs of everybody's heads in search of somebody to compliment. Ooh! Adi! She leaned over the table and called, "Adi! You're the nicest person in the universe which is pretty cool." Boom. They should do this every class.

Eden smiled as Lux and Bambi both sit by her. WHEEE. Eden liked them both well enough, so she waved at them. She fiiiinnally dug her notebook out of her bag and flopped it on the table, eyeing the strawberries....which Bambi was now EATING. She wanted one.

Eden saw....and she took...and she CONQUERED. Meaning, she ate the strawberry in one bite and didn't think TWICE about it. It was FOOD and Eden liked FOOD almost as much as her pet snakes. Almost.

She looked up as Professor Morgan spoke and felt at ease...Merlin, the woman had a soothing voice, too...it was so positive and cheery but not OVERLY cheery and annoying or anything. And YAY they had sparkling water, too? How fancy. She took a sip and approved. It was pretty water. Eden wanted to know if she could have a birthday cupcake EVEN IF she liked strawberries. Because there was nothing like CUPCAKES.

As she shoved another strawberry in her mouth...they had to say something positive about their tablemates. Eden glanced over at Zander quickly...well...she stood up--"I'll be right back--" she told Bambi and Lux before making her way over to Zander. She smiled as she approached and she hugged him TIGHT and ruffled his hair.

"Zander! What I like about you is that you're always so sweet and thoughtful and you're definitely a person I look up because I wish I could be as happy as you are..." she nodded and pulled back--"I hope my plushie has a good home with you." She as sure the snake plushie DID. And with that, she scooted on back to her table. "Sorry-" she told them. "But I felt like he needed that." She said softly, blushing brilliantly. "Anyways--" now for nice things about Bambi and Lux. "Lux--you're a ray of sunshine in this DARK CASTLE. It always helps me feel focused." SHe nodded. "Bambi--you're as sweet as the deer you're christened after--" she felt like a DORK but she was being all dramatic on purpose. "And you're ALSO a ray of sunshine---" yep.

Yep.

Two rays of sunshine at this table. Eden must be the ray of moonlight or something.

"I'm doing AWESOME right about now, Professor Cassie. I hope you're feeling the same too.'' Did anything ever bother the woman? She was always in such hiiiiigh spirits and Adi really liked that. It made him look forward to the lessons even more.
...................

Adi had not missed AJ's entrance. How could he since he was always keeping an eye out for her? He grinned and waved back at her.
...................

Okay, so were they starting with the lesson? Adi was super curious as to what would be going down in this joint lesson. Like Cassie, he too felt a bit down about the whole snap cup thing. He did not that not everyone had dropped their proud moment parchment in. Anywaaay, it had been Glendower's birthday yesterday? He must remember to wish her when class was over.And yes, birthday cupcake for him, please. Strawberries weren't his thing.

Ah, encouraging or giving someone a compliment. Adi could do that! He did it alllll the time! It was possibly one of his favourite things to do. But before he could find someone to say nice things to, Norah had already snagged him. The fifth year grinned broadly. "Thank you, Norah! I think you're a VERY hardworking girl and you're on your way to being one of the best witches ever.'' Every word there he said was true. Yessers. Oh yeah. "You're also one of the most awesome Hufflepuffs.''

As Adi and Bambi walked in, Lux sent them both waves. "Hey, guys! How are you both doing?" Hehe, their little group at the table was growing but she did have to look away as both Bambi and Eden started eating strawberries.

Oh, good. Professor Cassie was speaking to her. "I'm doing alright considering the circumstances. How are you?" Everyone was sad after what happened to Gregoire, and she was still having a hard time not thinking of how she had almost lost Bay in that stupid forest. The second question confused her for a moment before Lux realized what it was in regards to. "Oh, I'm just highly allergic to strawberries." So no eating them or touching them.

She eyed the bowl of fruit as if daring it to do something.

Proud moments were being read, and she snapped along to them but the best news so far was CUPCAKES because yummy. She would have to wish Professor Glendower a happy belated birthday later. Maybe she would take the allergy potion just to be safe, but she was not going to be eating the strawberries.

Awww, Eden was being sweet with her Positive words . It was soooo adorable and made Lux smile. "Thanks! You're a ray of sunshine too! Everyone is!" But the biggest ray of sunshine was her Lion. "I think you guys are all great friends and I am so happy to have met you!" she told Adi, Eden, and Bambi.

As Dylan got comfortable in his seat (he had just been on time) he gave the Professor a wave. He then looked around as she told them to compliment someone. Hmm. Who to compliment? Spotting Adi not too far away from him, Dylan smiled. "Adi," he said to get his friend's attention. "You're an awesome guitarist." The fifth year beamed. It felt nice, giving people compliments.
