Come in, take a seat and get, set, go!
Why couldn't professors use the notice boards in the common rooms to tell them when classes were going to be held someplace other than in the classroom? Is it that hard for them to put a note there too instead of just on the classroom door?
Maybe she did and Marie just forgot to look this morning. Why was class outside in December anyway?

And how he sweated on the way, and now was shivering even more with the double-effect of the cold? Oh NO, 'cause she had been ABSENT! Walking grudgingly to the "class", panting, he thought that this class'd better be good. Or he would leave. For real. 'Cause he obviously hated to get sick.
Face red, he found himself a seat in the front and sat down. He was going to be ill for this class, after all, so he had to make the best of it. Closing his eyes for a second out of tiredness, he saw the cookies as he opened them. Great! He knew what to do--it was the easiest thing in the world. Eating one of the cookies to make it disappear forever--which tasted slightly good, but it still wasn't enough to save up his effort--he grabbed his wand to dig a hole in the soil to bury the other cookie. He was done in a minute and still with making a face, waited for the lady to arrive.
Hmpf.
Finally making her way out to the Whomping Willow where class was being held today she was pleased to see that at least they has desks and didn't have to sit on the ground
that was covered with snow. Spotting Evan sitting in the front
why is he in the front? she went and sat next to him.
"Hi," she said as she put her bag on her lap since there was a plate on the desk preventing her from putting it there and she didn't want to drop it in the snow.
Why was there a plate on her desk?
Oh right, read the note. That would help.

After reading the note she took the cover off the plate. Yep, there were two cookies there alright. Now to get rid of them. This should be pretty easy.
She could just eat one of them to make it disappear for good, but she wasn't hungry. Looking over at Evan she noticed that he didn't have his hood on. Hmm, she could hide a cookie there. While he was busy making a hole in the ground she carefully dropped one of her cookies in his hood. Now hopefully he wouldn't want to put it on and make the cookie fall out.
With one cookie hid she now needed to make the other one disappear for good. Taking out her wand she was about to vanish it when...
"Hey, bring that back," she shouted. A bird had swooped down and grabbed her cookie. Well how was she going to vanish it now? She couldn't very well say it was gone forever. If the bird dropped it somewhere near the class then it wouldn't be gone, just moved. Pointing her wand at the bird she was about to summon the cookie back when... too late. The bird dropped it, right over the whomping willow.
SMACK!
The tree hit the cookie so hard that it almost instantly disintigrated in thin air. Well, looks like that cookie isn't coming back.
