Bringing two fingers to her mouth, Moxley whistled to call everyone to attention. "Alright, you lot. We're getting started now so let's put all conversation on pause for just a bit." She smiled, walking towards the middle of the room. "And Mr. Salander, while I'm quite curious about what you're trying to accomplish over there, you'll have to continue after we've done some work. Please do use that tire as a seat, though." Probably more comfortable than standing, which she'd noticed some of her students opted to do. Their choice so she'd make no comment on that.
"As many of you have noticed, today's lesson is not taking place in our typical classroom setting. What I want you all to do right now is to imagine you live in an environment like this. Imagine that each day you walk by this on your way to school. You see it when you walk your pet or go out for a run. Maybe you're forced to play in a lot like this because where you live doesn't have an area for recreational activities..." She paused, letting them visualize a life like this in their minds. "Now I'd like each of you to tell me how living in a place like this would make you feel." From the looks on many of the faces as the kids entered the room earlier, she was going to guess unsafe.
*GAAAAAAAAASP*
The Headmistress knew her name?! That was SO COOL! The Headmistress was basically a celebrity around here, and Ariadne felt super cool having the woman know her by name. Sure, EVERYBODY had their called by her, but Ariadne still felt pretty awesome. She even gave the woman a wide smile before launching into a spill of replies.
"I'm glad you're okay, and you're welcome! I would have helped you and gotten you out of danger, you know! I learned some Muggle defense moves in Professor Hirsch's class!" she explained. She followed that up with a eye-gauging motion with her first two fingers. Okay. Never mind Defense class. She had some thoughts about the Muggle Studies question, too!
"The mess made me feel like danger was around," she answered, raising her hand even though she had JUST been talking to the woman.
"I felt scared, because you were just sitting there looking helpless, and I thought maybe something dangerous was still lurking around here." She assumed that wasn't the case, though, seeing as Moxley was just carrying on with class.
