"Hello, Professor Khanna." Diego looked up at the man, he was tall, not as scary tall as his Head of House, but he was up there, until he got his growth spurt. He smiled. "Thanks for not having the room all that cold today." He added before he went over to his usual desk. Maybe he should've brought his Herbology earmuffs, cause the little chitter-chatter noise had him too curious looking around to find the source of it.
It wasn’t long before the students began trickling in, the first being a second year. He could rest easy for he was definitely not going mad. “Hello, Mr. Melo-Dreamer,’’ Dhruv greeted, a genuine smile in place. If they knew about Ean being thought of as ‘scary tall’, they would have had a hearty chuckle. “Quite welcome.” SPOILER!!: Aurora! Quote:

As she approached the classroom, she could swear she heard what sounded like birds, but once she stepped inside she only saw the professor and one other student. Odd. But she’d shrugged it off, knowing that it was probably related to the lesson. ”Good morning, Professor Khanna,” she said with a smile before sending Diego a friendly wave.
Taking her seat, she waited for the lesson to start. She was curious about the chattering noises.
Birthdays were usually exciting. Dhruv would hope that Aurora’s upcoming one would be a wonderful one. They suppressed a little smirk when he saw the shrug; clearly they had succeeded in puzzling the Hufflepuff. All would be revealed in due course, naturally. “Good morning to you as well, Ms. Bay.” Dhruv would like to think she was completely settled into life at Hogwarts now. SPOILER!!: Xerxes! Quote:

"Hey girl. How's it going? Are you excited for the lesson?" Xerxes asked her while taking out his wand and his DADA textbook.
Then, seeing his DADA Professor standing in front of the class, he said, "Good Morning Professor. How are you today?"
He then looked around the classroom. It looked mostly normal as far as he was concerned. The only deviation from the norm was an odd chattering sound. He couldn't even immediately tell where it was coming from. Xerxes shrugged, figuring that the strange noise would be fully explained in due course, and then sat and waited patiently for the lesson to begin.
Xerxes, at first, seemed more interested in settling in and greeting Aurora so at that time Dhruv let him be. However, when they were addressed, they lifted a hand in greeting. “Good morning, Mr. Cadwallader. I’m quite well, thanks. I hope it’s the same with you?” SPOILER!!: Kartik! Quote:

The chirping sound was peculiar, but given Professor Khanna, perhaps not really. He just hoped the start of the lesson involved a muffliato charm or he might need to fake senioritis and depart early.
"Hello Professor," he acknowledged, taking a seat near the back in hopes the noise would be better.
It certainly was no surprise that Kartik was struggling to decide on a career path; it happened often, and was something that Dhruv had seen. But there was no hurry, was there? The Ravenclaw should take his time in mulling things over. “Good morning, Mr. Joshi.’’

The professor subtly took notice of the time and saw that it was now just a minute before the lesson was scheduled to get started. With a casual flick of a hand, the door to the classroom closed with a soft thud. Next, with a slightly more focused sweeping motion of that same hand, the chattering immediately ceased. The classroom was now quiet. Well, save for the light hum of students talking amongst themselves. Dhruv cleared their throat to gather everyone’s attention.
Since greetings had already been taken care of earlier, they got right down to the first question. “Magical pests or nuisances,’’ they began, pushing lightly off the table then taking a few steps towards the students. “What are some examples of them that can be managed most effectively by using magical methods as opposed to non-magical solutions?” OOC:  Class has now officially started! You’re still welcome to join but keep in mind that announcing their later arrival would mean facing IC consequences  Catch up is absolutely allowed. We’ll move along in 24 hours or so <3 |
