"
Good afternoon, darling," she nodded to the Ravenclaw boy that had come in. Ho ho ho, she was just going to need to get her hands on her seating chart soon so she could start learning names....
"
Heeelloooooo, dear," she sang as her eyes TWINKLED.
"
Hello there, darling," she smiled at the young Hufflepuff. Oh, another studmuffin in the making right there.
"
Boooooooonjour darling," Marion sang as she greeted this one. Using hellos and good days was becoming rather monotonous.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
Another Hufflepuff boy it seemed needed to learn from her little Casanova. Hmmmmmmm.
And this one received an eyebrow raise in return. "
Dear, you will remove those thiiiiiiiiiings from your mouth, please, and put them away." No fangs in the classroom or it would be out she would go.
Out out shoo shoo.
"
Hello dear," the elderly woman giggled at the young boy. So much enthusiasm!
Marion cleared her throat for this boy as well. Again. Slytherins. Manners. Hmmmmmmm.
No tie? Hmmmmmmm...
Marion did require PROPER uniform, but she decided to let this one slide for now. The girl had greeted her after all. "
Hello dear. Please dooooooo remember your tie for the next lesson."
Hmmm....while she hated to do this...
"
5 point for not following instructions properly, dear," she sighed. No soda? No cup. NO GREETING! Had the boy greeted her proplerly and politely she would have overlooked his error.
OOC: my rules state that you must NOT edit your posts. Please read all instructions carefully ;)
"
Good afternoon dear," she smiled.
"
Hello there dear," she nodded.
"
Hello darling." Hmm, this one seemed a little depressed as well. Hmmm...
Hmmmmmmmmmm.... no greeting.... hmmmmmmmmmm....
"
Hello dear," she chirped while making her way towards the back of the classroom. It was getting about time.
"
Good afternoon, Mr. Gert," she said with a small wink.
Hmmmmmmmm... seemed Hufflepuff also needed a female version of Ms. Casanova to teach manners...
Hmmmmmmmm...
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Professor Burbage EYED the boy as she continued to walk.
"
At my service! Oh hohohoooo," she laughed, patting the boy on the shoulder. "
I shall ceeeeeeeeeertainly keep that in mind." She might need volunteers later after all.
Oh ho.
"
Hello dear," she replied, inclining her head.
Oh, what a lovely smile this one had! "
Good day, darling."
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Marion raised an eyebrow at this young woman as well. Just because SOMEONE was SOMEWHAT famous did not mean that manners could be forgotten...like greeting the professor.
HMMMMMMMMMM!
"
Good afternoon dear." Oh hEAVens...another poor confused child.
"
Nothing of interest really darling," she replied with a wave of the hand as she passed the girl. "
I am sure your holiday was muuuuuuuuuch more exciting."
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
Well, the girl HAD apologized...
Running....not reading instructions...NO GREETING OF THE PROFESSOR. Marion had had it up to here with ruuuuuuuuude Slytherins by name and her eye twitch was an indication of this. "
10 points from Slytherin for failure to follow instructions, darling." Among OTHER things.
MORE EYE TWITCHING!
At least this boy had followed instructions.
Oh goodness gracious HEAVENS....
Another student who remained silent... at least she had followed instructions.
"
Hello dear, take this on your way," she said as she handed the girl a soda. She was simply toooo exhausted at the moment to consider more point loss at the moment.
Making her way now from the back of the room to the front, Professor Burbage carried the seating chart in her hands and cleared her throat. "
Hello and gooooooood day, students," she said in her usual sing song voice. "
My name is Professor Burbage and I will be instructing you in the noble field of Astronomy this term. I doooooo hope you have all filled out your name here or else I shall be forced to make one up for you." To which she laughed softly before taking a glance at it. MERLIN why did some students write so small. That wasn't very kind on an elderly woman like herself.
Which was when she heard a voice.
Oh ho ho ho ho.
She looked at the seating chart - which she was holding upside down by the way - and found the boy's name. "
I doooo like the way you think, Mr. Wilde." Because that was the name written in the square on her parchment. "
Could you please keep that thought for a moment." The boy earned himself a wink and sparkle points with her however.
Pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, she looked back to the class. "
Now...wheeeeeeeeeere was I? Oh yes! Astronomy, as many of you alreeeeeeeady know natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects. Stars and planets and those sorts of things for those of you who would like a little more basic image. Today we shall be discussing something a little more...outside of the box."
Flicking her wand towards one of the photographs on the table in the front, she levitated it into the air and gave her wand another firm flick to enlarge it. Once it was of appropriate size, Professor Burbage was ooh-ing and aw-ing and turning into an elderly fangirl at the man's portrait.
"
Can anyone tell me whoooooooo this studmuffin is?" she asked as she gestured towards the picture. "
You may include ONE fact about him if you know. But please, doooooo leave out how handsome he is and how looooooovely his hair is. I already know and have just said these things."
Oh ho ho ho ho.
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE
"
That will be minus 5 to you dear. Such behavior will siiiiiiiiiimply not be tolerated in my classroom."
How ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
