It was too often that these Hogwarts professors liked to opt for the unconventional classroom arrangement.

Less distractions for those who lacked attentive discipline.
This is a school, after all. Not a showroom. Someone ought to remind them of that every now and then. Asena is looking at you, Headmaster Winterbottom.
With this in mind, she wasn't feeling that same, incoming pressure headache when she passed by their professor's desk today. "Hello, Professor Edgecombe," she offered a polite nod before moving towards a seat in the middlemost section of the arrangement. Naturally, she planned to excel among her peers, but there wasn't any need to showboat by taking a seat at the front. Ah, the students were filing in now. Excellent.
Edmund got to his feet as the first of them entered. "Good morning, Miss Kaplan," he replied, returning a polite nod of his own. Quote:

A grin spread across his face. “So, Neb,’’ he began casually. “Whose muscles do I need to get for you this Christmas?” He reached out with an attempt to poke his friend in the arm quite playfully. “I suppose Papa Curious and Grandmama Sterope would be super interested to hear this.” That smile turned into a mischievous one, the thought of Neb’s grandmother having a fit over such quite amusing.
The first thing the Ravenclaw noted when he stepped into the classroom was that it wasn’t filled with the usual warmth as others. How peculiar. “Hi, Professor.” Along with that greeting, Harv tossed in a two fingered wave before following his friend to take a seat. On his way there, he sent Asena a nod. "Good morning, Mister Forsfelle," Edmund replied, giving a polite nod in acknowledgement of the wave. Quote:

Not to mention, a lot of the classrooms seemed to have their own heating charms applied, although it didn't seem the Charms professor had taken it into consideration, as she entered the classroom, finishing up a loose plait in her auburn hair. "Good morning Professor Edgecombe", she said as she headed for her usual desk near the window, giving him a bright smile. Following it with nods toward Asena and Harvey as she settled in to wait for the lesson to officially begin. And/or for more students to arrive. Not to mention finding out what the lesson was going to be about. It was curious how there wasn't any hints present. Maybe there was a cloaking charm present or something, or maybe the professor just was choosing not to give any hints until the lesson properly started. Another polite nod was given in greeting to the next Ravenclaw who entered. "Good morning, Miss Barrington," Edmund said. Quote:

Thoughts about muscles in the morning did nothing for her academics. That's right, papa, she does take her academics seriously... in between all the fun. "But I could use your help with a project after class." She had plans but needed some help organizing everything.
As soon as Nebula entered the classroom, she saw Professor Edgecombe and smiled at him. "Hello, Professor." Before going over to take her usual seat and gave Asena and Aurora friendly waves . Nebula did Professor Feirgrund's presence, but her grades haven't changed, thankfully, since the term started. Another young Ravenclaw entered alongside Mr. Forsfelle. "Good morning, Miss Curious," Edmund said, giving her a polite nod in greeting. Time to begin.
A casual flick of his wand closed the classroom door. Anyone who tried to sneak in late would not go unnoticed. "So," Edmund said, ready to get right into the topic at-hand, "today our focus will be on the Ascension and Lowering Charms."
With another wand flick, words appeared on the board. Quote: Ascension Charm Purpose: Sends caster high in the air, also works underwater
Quote: Lowering Charm Purpose: Causes target to move downward, and can be used as a gravity spell
"As you can see, the Ascension Charm allows a person to send themselves into the air, while the Lowering Charm does the opposite, allowing one to cause themselves or another target to descend downward.
Now, these charms are easy to understand, but they require great consideration and intention before you use either one. What aspects of your target do you need to consider before you cast?" --- OOC: The lesson has begun! Even if you haven't posted yet, you are free to jump in at any time; just pretend like your character has been here all along Posting a character arriving late IC will result in points loss.
Class will continue on some time around 8:00 PM EDT (GMT -4) on September 28th.
