The permanent smug expression he wore on his face didn’t falter as she grumpily greeted him. However, he did raise his brows ever-so-slightly. He almost preferred Peppy Prefect over there. ”Watch your tongue, Denaker. That’s three points from Ravenclaw.” Additionally, he did not care at all to figure out what she was referring to. Oh and she was automatically starting at strike two.

Glancing down at his watch, he waited until the last few seconds ticked by. Right when the small hand hit the nine, he walked over so that he was now directly in front of the benches, leaving the table with empty jars behind. Not waiting another minute--as he wanted them to have as much time as they could for the lesson--he addressed the class as a whole. "Good morning, I hope everyone is wide awake today." Looking at you, Mr. Moore.

"As you can tell, it's slightly chilly out," yes, he said slightly. No need to be dramatic, people. It wasn't snowing, the lake wasn't frozen, and there was a bit of sun peeking through. It could've been worse. And they ought to know to wear layers. However, "If you have a problem with the cold, feel free to cast or ask an older student to help you cast an insulating charm on your clothes. A hot-air charm and jogging in place will also do the trick, so I don't want to hear any complaints."

He paused briefly to allow them to do any of the above. He was curious to see if any would opt for jogging. It was the easiest fix, James' personal favorite. It'd wake them up as well. Work twice the magic without using any magic at all. A good skill to have.

"We're going to start off nice and easy. I expect everyone to participate." Meaning he didn't want anyone trying to take a nap. That wouldn't be happening on his watch. "As you have hopefully noticed by now," he used the world 'hopefully' because there was always one unobservant kid in the bunch. Though surprisingly, they were normally the ones that buried their heads in textbooks all year. "There are many different species local to Hogwarts grounds. I want everyone to think of and name at least one creature you can encounter around these parts."

See? Not hard. It wasn't an answer they needed to look in the textbook for either. James didn't care much for textbooks. This class was all about experience. That's how he fell in love with the subject, anyways. Besides, they had to have exposed to some Hogwarts' creatures before, yes?

As he waited for hands to start shooting up, he pulled the chalkboard closer so that he could begin taking note of answers.

Haddie looked her friend up and down as if she was trying to decide if Rachel was being serious or not. She paused long enough to return Kitty's wave, and then returned to scrutinizing her Bestie. "Oh no, no. You know, because it's not important to make sure that all the students you've ordered back to the castle for their safety, can, you know, actually, physically do so. As long as you make the show of it, right?" Holy crud, as much as she loved Rachel, the girl could be way too trusting for her own good. Which was why Rachel went to the Hag's class in the first place.

Oh, and there was the Child Hater himself, warning her off smugly. Oh there was no doubt in her mind he did it purposely. He was too smug about it. Haddie folded her arms over her chest and glared at him. She knew it would only make him smugger, but she couldn't help it. She hated the man with a passion. He set a totally different standard for himself than he did everyone else. It was infuriating.

"Or what?" Haddie asked. "You'll leave me a frozen statue for the Hag to pick off at her leisure? Oh, wait. You did that already." No one ever accused Haddie of being smart. Well, the Sorting Hat did, but the Sorting Hat was, in fact, a magical moron, so...

"Mermaids." Her voice was dripping even more with loathing and snark, even though she was legitimately participating. "Or the Hag in the woods." Well, semi-legitimately.

She cast a curious glance at the jars before turning her attention to the persons that had arrived. She smiled at Hady, Carl, Katherine, Tia and Ava on her way to Haddie. Her poor best friend looked so miserable that the girl just wanted to bundle her up with more layers of warm clothing. Unfortunately, this could not be done. "Oh, Haddie. Professor Drapes, I mean Draper would no do that intentionally.'' Rachel had confidence in her Professors.
