He smiled and gave the professor his usual finger wiggle-wave as he entered the classroom. He did think her clothing was particularly snazzy today, by the way.
There were instructions on the board, which made his eyes trail to the Pensieve. Well, well, well. Wasn’t this interesting? Ary plopped himself onto a seat and got his writing apparatus out. There were already core memories gnawing in his mind:
Each of these memories made him feel various emotions: safe and protected in the first, happiness in the second and awe that he had made a new friend so quickly in the third. They were why said memories were prominent to him.
Young Aryan being the first through the door was of no surprise to Roulan. It was obvious to her how much he seemed to enjoy the work, and his growing confidence was hard to miss. As an educator, she loved to see it, and she found she was quite excited for each lesson as well to see the knowledge grow in him and his peers. With a soft chuckle under her breath, she returned the finger wave - a favorite of his and Ms. Paton it seemed - before nodding in approval as he got to work. SPOILER!!: Mr. Fox Quote:

He plopped into a seat and grabbed the piece of parchment, yet again having forgotten his own.
Three prominent memories? Easy.
Brandon had never shared his personal strongest memories with anyone before. He kept things to himself without fail. He didn't like people knowing things about him. But he had little problem doing so now - what was even the big deal? His memories weren't even that deep, anyways. It was whateverrr. Except for the one he'd scribbled out. He spent the rest of the time before the lesson started doodling on his paper.
Mr. Fox was the next to enter and Roulan smiled and gave a nod of acknowledgement his way as well. The slang greeting did not bother her, though it was one of those sayings that often amused and puzzled her. Why DID young people ask ‘what’s up’? She refrained from responding in jest - deciding to leave the corny jokes to their dear headmaster. “Hello, Mr. Fox. We seem in bright spirits today, if not a little bit unkempt.” She found she didn’t not care much about the state of the uniforms (though perhaps she was supposed to be stricter on this matter) but knew others did, so it was more of a subtle warning than anything.
She heard his slip of the tongue in greeting Aryan as well, and puzzled at the strange name. Perhaps an inside joke between the young lads. SPOILER!!: Ms. Marchand Quote:
Originally Posted by MadMadamMalfoy Charms was by far Desiree's favorite subject… which should come as no surprise to anyone who knew who her dad was! There was an extra little spring in her step as she entered the classroom. Noticing Professor Liu at the front of the room, she gave a cherry smile. “Hello, Professor!” She greeted with a wave. Her smile turned into an approving beam at the professor's outfit. “I like your outfit. That's a lovely shade of purple!”
She waved to the other students on her way to her seat. ”Hi, Ary! Hi, Brandon!” After neatly arranging her supplies, she looked toward the front. The first thing she noticed was the assortment of objects on the professor's desk. Was that a pensieve? And what was in the boxes? Were they going to make their own pensieve today?
The instructions on the board seemed to support that idea. That or something else to do with memory charms. Curiosity piqued, Desiree picked up a quill to write her three memories:
While Roulan had never been acquainted with Desiree’s father, she had spent some time looking into the history of her predecessors and of course Gaston Marchand had been a noteworthy one. Her appreciation for the subject certainly was unsurprising, though Roulan briefly wondered as well if the subject itself never made the girl a twinge homesick. “Good day, Ms. Marchand. Having a pleasant one thus far?” At the compliment, she gave the girl a smile and an appreciative nod of her head. “Thank you. It’s quite comfortable as well.”
She watched as she also took a seat and got to work.
Once the last of the students had entered, Roulan used her wand to firmly shut the door - leaving it unlocked for any stragglers (though she hoped there were none). With that taken care of, her attention turned towards the room of ready minds and she gave them all a smile as she limped her way to stand in front of the desk - cane left laying across it. “Good day, all. I trust you’ve had time to think on your memories and jot something down? If not, you’ll want to continue to do so now as we move on to the beginning of our discussion.” She leaned against the front of her desk, crossing her arms to observe them all.
“Now for those of you who have already gotten your memories listed, take a look at the list. Can anyone tell me what the memories have in common? Is there a particular emotion that was present in them? A person? What is it about these particular memories that make them so vivid or meaningful to you? Please don’t give any descriptions yet on what happened in your memories, we will come to that later.” Her eyes scanned over the students, watching for who the first would be interested in offering an answer and calling on them as hands raised. OOC - Thank you everyone who’s joined us thus far! Question one is now up, though of course it is not too late to jump in! Just RP as if you’ve been there the whole time, unless you are itching for a point loss. We’ll be moving on again in another 24ish hours.
