Standing, Tibi's knees quaked. Bowing low to Lord Borr, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"My name is Tiberius Pryce, sir. And.." Tiberius hesitated here. This could either go very well or very poorly. His voice shaking, he continued. "My ambition is..." he was going to say grow up to be a man of stature, like yourself, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. "...is to make a difference in people's lives..." or maybe he could... "much like, you, sir."

Oh Tibi.. lying. Shame shame. Knees continuing to quake, and tears threatening to well in his eyes, Tiberius sat back down and refrained from looking at Borr.

How do you expect a young boy to know everyone's names? How rude! She did not expect that Lord BURP would learn the names of everyone in his class, so why should he expect someone else to do the same? BAH!!

Lucy slid out from her desk and stomped right out the classroom, angrier than ever. You want manners? YOU GOT MANNERS, LORDY BURP-HEAD.

Standing straight up, walked properly into the class and stopped in front of Borr. She gave a proper little curtsy, and said as politely as possible, "My name is Lucy Dawn, sir, and my ambition at the moment is to find out whether or not you have the manners you are teaching us so that I can decide whether or not to label you as my fabulous and wise mentor. SIR." Hah! An insult and a praise, wrapped up in one. Right now, she could care less about points, just that he got the words he deserved. Immediately, Lucy marched back to her seat, plopped right down, back straight, and her eyes glaring harshly at Borr.

Melita?

When it was her turn she offered another curtsey, not a bow and spoke,
"My name is Celandine Toussaint and when I grow up I want to marry a great man and look after him. Make him cookies and and sing him songs and look after him when he's had a really long and hard day."

....

That wasn't completely true, or even true at all really, but Celandine's expression was earnest and she deepened her curtsey respectfully.

It also meant he'd avoided having to re-enter the classroom, because he wasn't talking to anyone at the moment, as that required using his brainy. It was zero-to-sixty with Tino. There was a lime pixie stick in his pocket that would make him run up the walls and dance the hokey-pokey at a moment's notice.

But that was for emergencies like pop quizzes.

Oh look! It was sharing-time. Bummer that he'd forgotten his charmed pet lint ball, that would have made a smashing show-and-tell. "My name is Constantino Kolytiris," Tino bowed eloquently. "I enjoy fireside chats and performing acts of heroism. My life's ambition is to create a perfect ketchup that compliments gouda cheese in fresh or melted form." Unusual, he knew, compared to the other students' ambitions. But his would take longer. Maybe even a LIFETIME to perfect.

Lord Borr rubbed his belly jovially at the answers of three young Ravenclaws. "In my years here, this SO CALLED "Smart" house," he waved vaguely at the group of Ravenclaws, "has been NOTHING BUT LIMP BRAINED DISAPPOINTMENTS. However, however, PERHAPS... MAYBE PERHAPS this YEAR the tides have changed. WELL DONE RAVENCLAW. WELL DONE. Please, you FOUR, MAKE your way to the front of the class. Bring your chairs to the front and sit FACING your classmates. I want the rest of these STUDENTS to see your faces. REMEMBER your FACES. Because YOU FOUR will be SOMETHING one day with such ambition!! LORD BORR IS PROUD OF YOU!!!!"

SPOILER!!: The very BAD AND DISAPPOINTING HUFFLEPUFFS

He did greet the Professor and introduce himself, but frankly, Dominic Denton did not care if Berty Borr were to fail him. It wasn't like his future depended on the subject of Astronomy anyway. Sure he liked the subject, but there were other subjects that he was just as good in. And besides, from the looks of things, it didn't seem like he'd be learning a whole lot on Astronomy this term anyway . . .

But at least he got to sit, because the sixteen year old had looked over at the girl who was told to stand for the lesson. Willow. Poor Willow. Granted she didn't greet him at all, but that was her arrogance; something he admired about the Ravenclaw Captain.

Sighing, the Head Boy was about to take a seat when he was confronted about doing HIS job to handle the students acting like pigs. What?! Big Head? Merlin... the only one with a big head around these quarters seemed to be him, Lord Berty Borr. Of course he didn't have a little head either, but ugh. Apparently this Borr was too big headed to pay attention to small details.

Which is why when he asked them to stand up and bow to him and introduce themselves, Dominic doubted the man would even CARE. No, Borr would not care and Dominic was tempted right now to walk out of the classroom. He could. Even if he did get an 'O' on his Astronomy OWL, like he considered, he didn't need the subject.

And he wasn't going to bow. Nope siree. Not after Borr couldn't take any consideration in getting his position correct.

Taking a seat near the door in the middle, he waited to see if they would actually be having a lesson today. Or just getting their morales lowered. Dominic was betting on the latter.

He was disliking this teacher the longer the class wore on and the more the old codger spoke. LORD Borr? Arrick wrinkled his nose. The old man had done nothing to deserve the title from him.

When it came to his turn, Arrick scowled and stayed exactly where he was, hunkered in the back of the class, playing at being invisible. It might have been a trick with the light, but it also appeared that he was edging ever so subtly towards the door.

Followed by the BRIGHT STUDENTS, Lord Borr had not one, BUT TWO COMPLETELY RUDE, COMPLETELY BRAINLESS WONDERS. "Is there something WRONG with you two? HUFFLEPUFF IS SUPPOSED TO BE the HOUSE OF CHAMPIONS!" Lord Borr, for example, had been a Hufflepuff.

Lord Borr was the CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS.

"I wish for YOU TWO to stand up and move your chairs to VERY BACK OF THE ROOM. OUT OF MY SIGHT!! I can't BEAR to look at you for even another moment. I won't send you away, no, no I'm much too merciful and kind of that. BUT YOU MAKE ME NAUSEOUS. YOU MAKE ME SAD. DO wish to make me cry for the loss of integrity in my HOUSE? DO YOU? GET UP. MOVE. OUT OF MY SIGHT. If you can't follow the EASIEST of instructions then I can't look at YOU WITHOUT LOSING MY LUNCH!"

Which, if you must know, Lord Borr had BEEN TOO BUSY TO EAT. TOO BUSY. TOO IMPORTANT.

Her eyes immediately found the boy's face and Daphne pouted in his direction feeling completely embarrassed and humiliated on his behalf.

Not only that he was being so mean to Willow Kovac too! She was a girl. Weren't you supposed to be nice to girls?

Suddenly she just felt like crying. But Daphne Hopton did not cry. Hoptons didn't cry in front of bullies.

Standing up, she took a deep breath and bowed deeply. While she bowed, Daphne counted slowly to ten before straightening up once more, this time a pleasant expression on her face. "Daphne Hopton," she said simply with that expression she often used on her own Mother. The 'I'm smiling and being polite and taking everything you're saying into account' expression when she really was wishing to be everywhere else but here.

"My ambition is to...." what was her ambition? To not cry? To get out of this classroom? To not make Judith Hopton upset? "My ambition is to make my parents proud."

"So? SO what? What have your PARENTS done? I CHALLENGE YOU Phlemy Hooper to AMEND your ambitions. MAKE ME PROUD! You can DO IT! Lord Borr believes in you! You got HALF your answer right!"

Because clearly, in Willow's mind, if you bowed to a man who had so rudely stolen her seat, it meant you must have sold your soul.

Sheep.

And her father would most definitely hear about the way she'd been treated, that was for certain. Never mind that she never wrote to him and had pretty much avoided him during the entire summer. Never mind that.

But she was going to play it cooool with the lunatic. So, with her usual apathetic expression clouding her face, she began in a perfectly polite, yet cool tone, "My name is Willow Kovac, I'm a seventh year Ravenclaw and the Quidditch Captain." Maybe she should go to VINDICTUS and complain about Borr's ridiculousness to her head of the house. And yes, Willow had 'forgotten' to bow because she did not bow to anyone but -- Well, Willow Kovac didn't bow to anyone. Period. "And my ambition is ... well, I do believe that is personal, Professor Borr."

She was not calling him Lord.

"OH REALLY? YOU DO? Are you getting paid to think? I AM GETTING PAID TO TEACH YOU, you uncooperative little twerp! TAKE NOTE of the OTHERS in your HOUSE. You are a DISAPPOINTMENT TO EVERYONE in this ROOM! Everyone! I will have to work EXTRA HARD ON YOU!!!"

Pulling up his loooooow pants (forgot to wear a belt today), Blake frowned and screwed up his face as he walked over to the professor.

Snickering at his ever bulging tummy, Blake bowed, scrunching up his face like it was paaaainfullll, "YO Proffy erm Lordy Berty THE Borr!!!" Oh eee Oh ee Oh ee, he didn't just saaaay that!!! Is he going to hit him with th-that cane? NOO.

Gulping, Blake proceeded with the intro, "I'm Blake Wright aka Blakey aka Sir Blakey annnd annd I wanna be a ROCKSTAR!!!" He played an imaginary guitar solo, making weird guitar-ish noises.

Clapping for himself, he scrambled up his falling pants and snickered.

"Is there something FUNNY? Other than you and your ridiculousness? I WILL NOT TOLERATE LAUGHING IN MY CLASSROOM WHEN THERE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS BEING CONDUCTED! I am trying to HELP YOU! AND YOU NEED ALL YOU GET! SIT DOWN. If you clap for yourself ONE MORE TIME ---- EVER AGAIN ---- in my presence, I WILL PERSONALLY DEAL WITH YOU."

SPOILER!!: LORD BORR CAN ALWAYS DEPEND ON SLYTHERIN

He could not be the most perfect Lord, and be obnoxious loud and stink a little, but at least he was a Lord!

Sebastian wondered if Lord Whitcomb had known Lord Borr would be at Hogwarts when he forced Sebastian and Woodson to attend the school.

With that thought in mind, and making a point of discussing it with Woodson as soon as he could, Sebastian stood up and offered the man a polite, perfectly done bow. "My name is Sebastian Whitcomb, Lord Borr." The fifteen year old boy said, voice low and unaffected. "My greatest ambition is to .." rule the world ".. be the best man I can possibly be, and struggle to keep my family's high reputation and wealth."

He had no doubt he'd accomplish that.

The feeling that he wasn't going to enjoy Astronomy very much at all this term was swiftly creeping up on him. Still, when his turn came about, Raiden stood properly, back straight and all that happy stuff.

"My name, sir, is Raiden Jae Kururugi," he said flatly, inclining his head but doing nothing more than that. He was a professor, and deserved respect for that at least, but his overt disrespect of Miss Willow was completely unbecoming behaviour and one didn't get what they wanted simply by acting like a child. "My ambition in life is-"

What was his ambition, now?

"- to never have a negative impact on anyone I meet."

Better than nothing, he hoped. Past that, he'd never thought of what he'd want to do after Hogwarts. He'd never seen himself making it that far.

"Ahhhh!" Lord Borr's eyes fell upon two well dressed, appropriately well spoken young Slytherin men. Lord Borr had had great success with Slytherins in the past. GREAT success. Seemed to be a pattern. "Bravo, men, BRAVO. Please, get up and bring your desks up to here beside my desk. SIT BESIDE ME. You've earned the right. LORD BORR IS PROUD OF YOU. Hurry now, hurry. Don't have all day! WELL DONE MEN."

These two would be getting invitations to the Lounge, Lord Borr decided.

In fact, Professor... or 'Lord' Borr as he preferred to be called, was quite a legend. Come to think of it, Tavelon had heard about him before.... and what he had heard wasn't necessarily the best.

Tavelon suddenly snapped back to reality when he realized everyone was standing up and presenting themselves. Collecting himself, Tavelon resolved to make his best impression on this man, even if it was a false one. He didn't seem like a good person to cross.

Standing up, he bowed to Professor... rather, Lord, Borr, and spoke: "Lord Borr, I am Tavelon Martimus" he squeaked out the last part of that. "I'm a first year, but I still have ambition. That is to...." He really hadn't thought of what he wanted to do... "I want to be a great and influential man, like yourself, sir, Lord..."

Awkwardly, Tavelon sat down... hoping for the best.

"OH GOOD SHOW, YOUNG MAN! I had lost ALL HOPE! ALL HOPE WAS LOST on my former House! GOOD SHOW, GOOD SHOW! I might not have to dry heave in the waste bin after all! WELL DONE! I'm so PROUD of YOU! Do you feel GOOD about yourself? YOU SHOULD! I feel good! Come! COME to the front and give me a hug! YOU DESERVE IT, SON!!!!"

SPOILER!!: Astronomy

"Well, well, well, well, well," Lord Borr began after many failed attempts to get up and out of his chair. Trust Ethan Truebridge to supply the room with CHEAP furniture. The fibers must have melded with Lord Borr's bottom. AS IF HE HAD TIME FOR THIS?!?!

"I SEE we have a FEW men with the HEAD IN THE CLOUDS! WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUDS!!! I want you three to get up, go to my lounge, and begin a list of how and why your ambitions are worthless. I want you to talk it over with each other and I want you to wait on me there. YOU WILL GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE year is over, sons! I WILL HELP YOU. Now, go, before you taint the minds of my other students!! GO."

Lord Borr had spoken.

After one more failed attempt to stand, Lord Borr rolled his chair out to the middle of the room. "Everyone ELSE GET UP. Get up. Right now, DO NOT DALLY. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR DALLYING. I want everyone to GET UP and GO TO THE WINDOW and tell me what YOU SEE! HURRY UP! MOVE MOVE MOVE. What is outside? WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?"

Lord Borr's tummy began to RUUMMMMBBLLLLEEE. He was quite hungry. Poor busy and important LORD Borr.

Past that, he'd never thought of what he'd want to do after Hogwarts. He'd never seen himself making it that far. "Ahhhh!" Lord Borr's eyes fell upon two well dressed, appropriately well spoken young Slytherin men. Lord Borr had had great success with Slytherins in the past. GREAT success. Seemed to be a pattern. "Bravo, men, BRAVO. Please, get up and bring your desks up to here beside my desk. SIT BESIDE ME. You've earned the right. LORD BORR IS PROUD OF YOU. Hurry now, hurry. Don't have all day! WELL DONE MEN." These two would be getting invitations to the Lounge, Lord Borr decided.

In fact, Professor... or 'Lord' Borr as he preferred to be called, was quite a legend. Come to think of it, Tavelon had heard about him before.... and what he had heard wasn't necessarily the best. Tavelon suddenly snapped back to reality when he realized everyone was standing up and presenting themselves. Collecting himself, Tavelon resolved to make his best impression on this man, even if it was a false one. He didn't seem like a good person to cross. Standing up, he bowed to Professor... rather, Lord, Borr, and spoke: "Lord Borr, I am Tavelon Martimus" he squeaked out the last part of that. "I'm a first year, but I still have ambition. That is to...." He really hadn't thought of what he wanted to do... "I want to be a great and influential man, like yourself, sir, Lord..." Awkwardly, Tavelon sat down... hoping for the best. "OH GOOD SHOW, YOUNG MAN! I had lost ALL HOPE! ALL HOPE WAS LOST on my former House! GOOD SHOW, GOOD SHOW! I might not have to dry heave in the waste bin after all! WELL DONE! I'm so PROUD of YOU! Do you feel GOOD about yourself? YOU SHOULD! I feel good! Come! COME to the front and give me a hug! YOU DESERVE IT, SON!!!!" SPOILER!!: Astronomy Quote: Originally Posted by Miss Lissy Lou Jack wanted nothing more than to just march out of the room.

Biting back tears again, he stood up and bowed to the disgusting man before standing up again. "My name is Jack Fritzera, and my life's ambition is...to be an astronaut," he said. What? It was true! Hopefully Borr wouldn't even KNOW what an astronaut was--and then, knowing him, he wouldn't be bothered to ask what it was. If he did, Jack would tell him that he would be out in SPACE, away from HIM. And then, he'd probably lose points. But it would be allll worth it. Of course, if he were in space he could probably see Borr from up there, considering the man was SO HUGE. Blehhhhhhhh. Someone needed to diettttt. Quote: Originally Posted by Jenster Theo slowly entered the classroom. He'd heard alot about Borr. The horror stories. And the suck power. He would suck up. He smiled at the rotund man, "Good Afternoon Professor. My name is Theodore Newtington the Forth." He bowed at the man, who probably would fall over if he bowed at anyone. "And it is my ambition be a spaceman." Quote: Originally Posted by PattyH.

It is a my ambition in this class Lord Borr (another nod of the head), to understand the fine art that is Astronomy, as for life I intend on, allowing it to reveal its self to me first, before deciding on a future that my be un-wise." Hoping that his statement would be deemed sufficient, he remained standing until asked to be seated by Lord Borr. "Well, well, well, well, well," Lord Borr began after many failed attempts to get up and out of his chair. Trust Ethan Truebridge to supply the room with CHEAP furniture. The fibers must have melded with Lord Borr's bottom. AS IF HE HAD TIME FOR THIS?!?! "I SEE we have a FEW men with the HEAD IN THE CLOUDS! WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUDS!!! I want you three to get up, go to my lounge, and begin a list of how and why your ambitions are worthless. I want you to talk it over with each other and I want you to wait on me there. YOU WILL GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE year is over, sons! I WILL HELP YOU. Now, go, before you taint the minds of my other students!! GO." Lord Borr had spoken. After one more failed attempt to stand, Lord Borr rolled his chair out to the middle of the room. "Everyone ELSE GET UP. Get up. Right now, DO NOT DALLY. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR DALLYING. I want everyone to GET UP and GO TO THE WINDOW and tell me what YOU SEE! HURRY UP! MOVE MOVE MOVE. What is outside? WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?" Lord Borr's tummy began to RUUMMMMBBLLLLEEE. He was quite hungry. Poor busy and important LORD Borr. __________________ Someone unimportant whose name slips my memory made this signature. Twas Lady Borr who did it, sir!
