Oh it was Simon and the young Slytherin received a beam as he walked in. Yes, she was starting to remember names after following Cosgrach’s advice to make notes by the roster names. The woman was just about to return his ‘hello,’ pausing as he continued. Watson.. Holmes.. ? Oh how delightful!
Nessa had to suppress a squeal as the two Slytherin boys play-acted as the great detective of lore and his invaluable assistant. Did they know how much she loved those stories?! ”Dr. Watson! Detective Holmes! How delightful to have you both here today,” Nessa simply beamed at them both and played along with their act. ”I am such a fan of both your work and am sure you’ll have no trouble solving the case today.” She gave them both a wink as they sat down then applauded a little. What a brilliant entrance and performance! Bravo!
...
Alright! It was time for class to begin. Eeep, she was excited! Professor Glendower found her place at the front of the classroom, giving all the students a big smile before she began. "Good afternoon, everyone! I appreciate each and every one of your entrances. They are all so creative and unique to you. Believe it or not, they do speak something about you." But that was not what they would be necessarily discussing today.. even if all her classes has a touch of individuality from each of the students.
"So, let's begin.." She clasped her hands together as she looked all around at them. "Last time we met, we actually touched on something that foreshadowed today's lesson." Oh she simply loved that literary device and was pleased to have had that in her last lesson even if no one realized it at the time. "And if you haven't already guessed, then the book I asked you to bring, if you owned it already, was probably a huge hint to the topic of today's lesson." Hmm, did anyone bring the supplemental book with them? Now might be a good time to pass out the extra copies.
Flicking her wand at the back of her podium, she sent a dozen copies of Year with the Yeti to the middle of the room and let them hover at eye-level there. "If you did not bring a copy with you today, please come up and get one.. though there is not enough for the entire class if no one brought one. You might have to share." But we were all friends here, they could just pull up their desks next to each other and look over each other's shoulder. "And then answer me this.." Dramatic pause. "Why would we be discussing Yetis here today in History of Magic class instead of Care of Magical Creatures?" Since that's what they were and all.
OOC - Please one answer per person and try not to say something that someone else already did. Creative answers are always welcome!
Simon gave Professor Glendower a kind smile as Watson as well as a salute cause you know one had to be polite. Sherlock could get away with many things; Watson had to make up for it. Simon Watson rolled his eyes at Holmes. Holmes would never learn. After helping Zander, he returned to his seat next to Ethan and the lesson commenced.
Ah time to pull out the books. Simon pulled out his copy and rested it on his lap. Simon didn't know an answer to her question. Why would they EVEN be studying a book by Gilderoy Lockhart when the man practically made everything up. He raised a hand. "
Does it have anything to do with the fact that Lockhart falsified the account of the story because he never did spend time with Yetis. He just took someone else's work. Taking credit for other people's work has happened a lot in muggle history too. So studying this in Care of Magical Creatures wouldn't be exactly appropriate," explained Simon. That was his personal opinion on the whole matter.
