Moxley gave Nora a kind smile, wanting her to know she wasn't bothered by the napping comment, especially when the Hufflepuff prefect was saying her lessons were the funnest. Yeah, that won her over!
Spotting the last group of students hurrying down the hall, the brunette waved them in, one after the other. SPOILER!!: Kiddos Quote:

Today was no different, Noelle entered the classroom and was delighted to see a bunch of old fashioned chairs out and about. She looked around to see which chair she wanted.
Spying the a professor, she gave a hearty wave with a big grin. "Hey professor!" She called out but not too loud. She'd been called loud one too many times.
Spotting a chair she liked, Noelle went and sat in it. She pulled on the lever on the side and out popped her feet. Oh this was nice. grabbing her bag, she put her parchment book and self inking quill on her lap. She was ready!
Oh wait!
A compliment.
"I just love how fun you make these classes." Not brown-nosing. Just truthful. "Thank you, Noelle! I'm glad you enjoy them." And because of her kind words, Moxley was willing to look past the high five thing, though she'd be bringing it up at a later time. Quote:

To be honest,Henric wasn't feeling all cheery today. So he found an armchair nearby and sat quietly by himself. He didn't forget to put the sticker on him, of course. He chose an orange one and stick it above his Manchester United badge. He cast a small smile to a group of students he knew and waited patiently for the class to start. "And a good morning to you, Henric!" The Hufflepuff was looking a bit down so the muggle studies professor gave an extra enthusiastic high five and a kind smile, hoping today's lesson might cheer him up a bit. Quote:

She walked over to Professor Moxley and gave her a great high five. "I am really loving the comfortable seating, you rock Professor!" Sophie considered the stickers carefully before selecting an indifferent purple smiley.
Looking around the classroom she noticed many students whom she knew of, but wasn't super close to. Actually, she wasn't much close to anyone. Why wasn't she good at making friends? There was that Benny boy whom gave her a compliment in Herbology, but he was sitting with his friends. With a smile towards him, Sophie chose an empty seat at a squashy couch and sat down.
Class would be getting started soon, so she took out her notebook and a ink PEN. Because it was MUGGLE studies, and muggles used pens. "You rock just as hard, Sophie!" More compliments? Moxley was totally in her glory right now. She shouldn've changed the furniture ages ago! Quote:

As he walked to the classroom, he noticed there were big armchairs and sofas. Ah man this was heaven! Were they gonna lounge around the whole lesson. This slytherin was in for that! As he made his way to the recliners, he saw the professor and he smiled brightly and said, "Hello Professor!" and then plopped down on his recliner and wasn't gonna move for quite some time now. Yup he was comfy.
He made it on time thought that was a good thing. "Hello there!" Such enthusiasm. Always appreciated a good attitude, Moxley did. And he'd come right in to take a seat, which was much appreciated. They were on a schedule, after all! Quote:

Where did it all come from and where did she store it and was it dusty, because that would make Dot sneeze? So many questions! She danced up to the professor and offered her a high five before taking a big old smiley sticker and looking for a seat.
One of the prim stiff couches would keep her awake all class (not that she needed help), so Dot perched her bum on one of those cushions. Hadn't she been saying something? Oh! "Professor, it's just so lovely in here. Definitely sets a very specific tone." The Slytherin prefect had quite the eye for furniture, didn't she? Moxley noted this with a smile on her face as she watched the red head find a seat. "I'm pleased you think so, Dot! I quite like this setup, too." Quote:

She rather liked the new set up of the class, too. Couches were MUCH more comfortable than hard chairs and desks. Evie slung her bag off of her shoulder and parked her bum in a squishy little chair near the front of her class.
First matter of business: mood sticker. Evie looked through the sheet, having a hard time picking one. Eventually she settled for a straight face sticker. She was just... content. Fine. Alright. Chill. Second matter of business: notes. Rifling through her bag, Evie pulled out her notebook and her quill, marked the top of a fresh sheet with that day's date and patiently waited for class to begin. Moxley gave Evangeline a smile as she watched the Ravenclaw come right in and get settled. The brunette could appreciate a kiddo who liked to work, she could. Plus she was eager to get started so a quiet entrance was A-Okay with her. Quote:

Inspecting muggle furniture? Playing second hand furniture salesmen? Who knew. "Hey, Professor," he greeted, air-fiving the woman as he placed his sticker on his chest for her to see. LOOK, FOLLOWING THE RULES, MISS! The smiley face was bright yellow and hard to miss on his grey school sweater.
So... where to sit?
Deciding to plop himself down beside someone he knew, he opted for his closest option, JANELLE!
"Hey, how's it going?" he asked, flashing her a smile. "Hello, Zeke! Come on in!" Moxley returned the air-five with a smile and then shooed him towards the seats. Quote:

The first thing she saw when she entered the classroom was the comfy looking couches. And the Professor of course. She greeted the Professor with a polite nod and an air-fives. Sticker. She need that. She choose the expressionless sticker before she sat down on one of the comfy couches. Okay! She's ready. Another quiet entrance. Moxley smiled at Candice before glancing down at her watch. Just about a minute before she'd close the door and then they were good to go! Quote:

She put on her Chelsea FC jumper again and walked to the classroom. Oh look, comfy sofas were around! Maybe they're gonna have a nap first? Hehehe. The young lioness gave a high-five to the Professor and grinned widely "Hello, Professor!". For the mood sticker, she chose the blue smiley one. "Hello, Henric!" She sat to an armchair next to that guy. "Thanks for the present again. It was great!" He sent her a ticket to see a football match... A SUPER SUNDAY BIG MATCH one of course. "Hello there! I quite like your jumper." Moxley greeted the Gryffindor cheerfully and then glanced down the corridor for any last second stragglers. Quote:

Nothing. That's what.
Only normally for Zander Adair that meant that everything would go wrong, but NOT TODAY. Today Zander Adair would make sure everything went incredibly right. As he made it into the classroom, he could only hope that the Gryffindors actually read the rules this time. The last few times around they had been slacking. And it was real hard trying to be Moxley's favorite when the actions of Gryffindor House were a reflection on him. Sigh.
Following shortly behind Ava, Zander watched as she gave the Moxinator a high-five. And PHEW. At least that was one Gryffindor who followed directions. Meant good things, right?
Only after waiting for Ava to have her go, Zander went up to Moxley himself. "Hey Professor!" HIGH FIVE CONTACT INITIATED. ahem. Unless she was gonna fake him out or something, but that'd be totally uncool okay. "Couches are a good look for er, the room," Sophie needed to give him tips on this flattery stuff, clearly.
Speaking of which, there was an open spot on her left, yeah? Mr. Adair! Moxley was amused that the Head Boy was the last one in but she'd pretend he was making sure all the Gryffindors got to her class, 'kay? That'd make them both feel much better.
"It is quite the comfy setup, isn't it? Go on and find a seat!" Moxley returned the high-five, smiled at Zander, and closed the door. Making her way over to her desk, Moxley leaned back against it and clapped her hands, calling for everyone's attention. All conversations needed to wrap up right now because Moxley was to unload some knowledge on these Hogwarts baby brains!
"Alright, everyone, listen up! Last class, we talked a bit about pastimes. Pastimes are things people do for enjoyment. Hobbies, if you will." Easy enough to understand, right? "Hobbies can be done in the magical and muggle communities. They can also be done inside or outside, at your home or elsewhere." And preferences differed from person to person, of course.
"Today, we're going to think of pastimes as having three different levels." Turning her attention to the floating white board behind her desk, Moxley pointed them out.
Quote: Level 1: Diversion-Hobbies to pass the time
Level 2: Passion-Something we truly love doing
Level 3: Sense of Purpose-Gives us a feeling of accomplishment
The best hobbies combine all three levels!
Giving the class a moment to copy those down, Moxley hopped up on the edge of her desk and got comfy, all smiles and excitement. "Now let's think about the first level in relation to little kids. Picture yourself as a small child at home on a rainy day. You're stuck inside with no magic and lots of energy. What kind of hobbies might work for a child in this scenario? A hobby that'll help pass the time. Please share just one each."
