Was that a mistake? Yes....
Instead of feeling energized, the fourteen year old felt even more sluggish and he hid a yawn behind this hand as he entered the classroom where they would gather first. "Morning" he greeted as he dragged himself inside and forced himself to not let out another yawn as he looked at the professors who seemed to have packed numerous bags for them all. He'd be impressed if this hadn't been a magical school cause surely they had done this with the use of magic.
Since there were no desks, Dorian sat down on the ground against the wall and crossed his legs. "I'm going to meditate" aka continue his nap till the others arrived.
Truth be told, Gaston was a little nervous about today's little excursion. He'd only been camping a few times in his life, plus there was the matter of a certain blue-eyed baby girl who was going to be very angry that her father wouldn't be home to put her to bed that night. He shook his head, trying to block out the thought of the tantrum Desiree was undoubtedly throwing before it made him too sad to concentrate. Now wasn't the time; the students were starting to arrive! He looked up just as Dorian arrived. Blink, blink. Morning? Had he missed something? "good evening, Mr. Katharos," he replied, his eyes following the boy as he sat down. Goodness, he hoped he wasn't too sleepy to pay attention to the lesson!

Daisy was next to appear. Her arrival was greeted with a beam from the Charms professor, though his expression changed slightly upon seeing the not one but two bags she had. Somehow he had a suspicion Daisy was a bit ahead of the game there. "Hello, Miss Swan!" he greeted.

There was noway she was going to miss this. Rylee had waited for this day to arrive the moment she had heard about the lesson. Camping was something she loved to do. Nothing about it bothered her, fishing, sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag beneath the stars, building a fire and then sitting around it cooking fish and making s'mores. It was always a great time for her and now she would get to be with all her friends too. She was definitely very excited.
The second year had on her jeans, hiking boots and large hoodie for comfort, her ginger locks left to hang down around her shoulders. With her bag slung over her shoulder that held everything she would need she entered the classroom with a bright smile on her face. Nothing was going to get her down and ruin this. "Good evening, Professors!" Rylee chirped excitedly. "Hi, Daisy," she offered the older girl a friendly smile and a wave.
A quick look around the room showed piles of camping things around and Dorian how was...sleeping? She was sure but she made her way over and sat down near him on the floor. "Hey, Declan." There was a playful smirk on her lips as she whispered the greeting, dropping her bag from her shoulder and setting it down on her lap. It was a good thing it was charmed to not only be super light but also with an extension charm her older sister had placed on it for her. She had certainly packed a ton of things into it earlier in the day when she was getting ready for this lesson/camping trip.
Gaston's eyes lit up as he returned Rylee's smile with an equally bright one of his own, his nervousness momentarily forgotten. How could he be? The girl's excitement was contagious! "Good evening, Miss Prichard," he said. "Are you ready for the big camping trip?" He already had an idea the answer was yes.

Now had this been months ago, it probably would have been a welcome distraction but with less then three months until graduation and NEWT exams, every moment she wasn't in scheduled classes or quidditch practice was accounted for with study preparations. Although technically this could be considered a scheduled class, but classes didn't ordinarily take place on the weekend. But it was fifty percent charms, which made all the more tolerable.
Dressed in comfortable clothes, wand holstered, hair pulled back in the usual mess of a state lately, Skylar headed to the charms classroom. Void of the usual desks and refreshments. Huh? Well she supposed it made sense, maybe.
"Hello Professors," she greeted of the pair.
Gaston pulled a supply list out of the pocket of his black leather jacket and took a quick moment to double check his bag. He was about halfway through the list when a familiar voice caused his head to jerk up, and he smiled as he saw Skylar. "Hello, Miss Diggory," he greeted. "How are you this evening?"

After quickly recomposing herself she flashed a bright smile and headed towards Daisy and Rylee. "Good evening Professor Stewart, Professor Marchand. Looks rather interesting in here. Those bags seem mighty small for all those supplies, but I bet there's some charm involved to make it work." Once she said it, she regretted it. She knew that there was a charm involved. Of course there was. It was a charms and muggles studies class. There were bound to be charms going on all over the place.
Moving right along, she focused her attention to her friends. "Hey Daisy, Rylee. How are you ladies doing this fine Saturday evening?" Her eye caught the Slytherin captain "Hi Skyler!" she gave a little wave to the older girl.
Before Gaston had time to refocus on his list, Emmalyn appeared. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of her bouncing into the classroom. It did him good to see his students so excited! "good evening, Miss Walsh," he returned her greeting. His smile grew even wider at what she said next. She was on the right track, that was for sure! He exchanged a quick knowing look with Kay. "That's a very good guess, Miss Walsh," he said. That was the only hint he was giving.

He noted that the classroom was devoid of the usual furnishings as heis eyes landed on the ordered piles of camping supplies. That made enough sense to the thirteen year old. He mumbled a greeting to both professors as he headed inside and nodded to a few that he knew as he passed them before going over to stand near his Quidditch captain.
Gaston continued inspecting the contents of his bag. Sleeping bag? Check. Extra food? Check. First aid kit? Check. He zipped his backpack up just as Gunnar came in. Wait, what did he say? He couldn't quite make it out, so he was just going to assume that was a greeting. "Hello, Mr. McCarthy," he greeted.

Hopefully this was it. Although she had never really really been on a camping trip she did enjoy camping or the things you did on a camping trip, hiking, bonfires, sleeping in. She wasn’t sure if that happened on camping trips but she would be the one to sleep in late while camping.
The fifth year headed into the charms classroom, which did not look much like a classroom at all at the moment. It looked just like what they were getting ready to go do. Camping supplies everywhere. It was probably also a good thing that she had dressed comfortably too. Hoodie, stretch pants it was almost like she was dressed for quidditch practice or just a day in the common room.
She smiled at the professors ”Good evening professors.” She head on around with her bag over her shoulder. She scanned the room to see who was here already. Once she seen the Slytherin captain and little Chloe’s brother, Ethan was his name right? Anyway, she walked over to Skylar. Smiled, ” I think this should be an interesting lesson, don’t you?” She hadn’t had much time to see her or speak to her in awhile, so now Juni was just going to take the time and hang out with her friend this lesson.
Juni's smile got a beam in return from Gaston. That was just the kind of positive attitude he liked to see! "Good evening, Miss Primeaux," he replied. "Excited for the trip?"
Text Cut: Stasya Quote:
Originally Posted by SilverTiger Camping was fun. Not that Stasya had gotten to go camping very much in her life, aside from sometimes being allowed to camp out on the beach near home overnight. But this was actual real camping, or at least that was what she’d assumed from the notice that had been posted about this lesson. The only difference this had from other field trips was the fact she was hoping there wouldn’t be any attacks. At the very least, she doubted there would be grindylows to deal with this time. Therefore, it had been a relatively excited tall blonde forth year who had made her way up to the Charms classroom after dinner, comfortably dressed in a long-sleeved t-shirt (that may or may not have had a unicorn printed on it), skinny jeans and boots, a fuzzy pink hoodie stowed in her school bag along with her prefect badge and a fresh stash of cookies. Just in case.
She had blinked in response to the state of the classroom as she’d arrived, though. Not that her surprise had lasted long, since it was Hogwarts, and she’d assumed they’d actually be having class outside. Camping and all. “Good evening Professor Marchand, Professor Stewart,” she greeted the two dark haired professors with a smile, heading deeper into the piles of supplies before finding a place to sit on the floor near one pile. That and giving the other students in the room a smile, plus a wave at Skylar. The Slytherin girl didn’t look very good…
Ah, there was Stasya! Good... Gaston was beginning to wonder if his Lions had missed the announcement about this class. He beamed at the prefect, though her blinking didn't go unnoticed. He supposed it was a rather strange setup... and he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about the lack of refreshments. "Good evening, Miss Dalgaard-Volkova," he greeted.

Chloe paused over one of the piles, and she took silent inventory without touching anything. Were they allowed to touch? Should she try for one of the piles with a tent? DID IT MATTER? Also, wasn't it weird to start out this late?
And here was another student bouncing into the classroom. Gaston smiled; the excitement was rubbing off on him! "Hello, MIss Kettleburn!" he said, returning the girl's smile with one of his own, but before he could answer her question, Kay beat him to it. He simply nodded in reply; nothing more he could add to that.

Originally Posted by lazykitty Ronan had lost track of time and was now feeling like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. Luckily, he had packed his camping stuff the night before, so it was a simple thing to grab the large duffel bag and make a mad dash down to the Charms classroom. It was also a good thing that he was in pretty good shape, since the distance between the Gryffindor dorms in the seventh-floor tower and the classroom was pretty great. So great, in fact, that he had had to stop and catch his breath before entering. Once he was breathing normally again, he walked into the room with a "Hey!" The sight of the room didn't surprise him at all. It took a lot of space to sort out camping gear, obviously.
Honestly, he had only been camping once. It wasn't really his favorite thing, but then, he hadn't been with a huge group then, either. Just his aunt, uncle and cousins. So this was bound to be.....interesting.
Gaston checked his watch. It was almost timet o get going, but he decided to wait another minute or two for stragglers. And it was a good thing he had! Just as he looked up from his watch, Ronan appeared, right on time. "Good evening, Mr. Carter," he greeted.
Gaston glanced at his watch again; 7:00 on the dot. Satsified that here were no more stragglers, he aimed his wand at the door, and it closed with a quiet click. He made his way through the piles of supplies to stand at the front of the room and addressed the group, "Hello, class! Professor Stewart and I are glad you could be here; I hope you're just as excited for this trip as we are!" He exchanged a quick look with his colleague before going on, "Sorry about the lack of refreshments. In the supply piles, you'll find some snacks; you may enjoy some of them now if you wish, but keep in mind that we'll be traveling to our campground by Portkey very soon."
He waited a moment for the students' undivided attention. "But before we leave, we have a bit of last-minute packing to do. If you haven't already done so, please stand beside one of the supply piles - it doesn't matter whether or not you pick one with a tent. The contents of the pile are yours for this trip. Now, very quickly, who can tell me a spell you could use to fit all of these supplies into the one small bag provided?"
OOC: Sorry for the minor delay...tech issues.  Anyway, class has officially started! Feel free to join any time; just pretend your charrie has been here all along unless you want IC consequences for a late arrival. You have ABOUT 24 HOURS (2 AM EDT July 13) to answer the question.
