Kerry saw a Gryffindor poke another student and looked over at her and shook her head... the points lead was so close, silly things like that were not worth losing points over. She felt the students around her getting restless and hoped that they would settle down, as she jotted down a few notes to herself.

Atmor looked at Savannah she never liked her but had to put up with her. Looking away she sighed Zachery liked her but now......... she decided to keep this from him.

Ermagardle doodle absent-mindedly on the edge of her parchment, waiting patiently for the class to begin.

Cecilia acknowledged Savannah's thought with a "You're right" response. She took Conner's Emerald Green quill out and began writing to him to pass the time until Professor Rae returned. She just ignored Atmor and was sure to block her thoughts from Atmor's mind-reading abilities.

Atmor thought 'Does he even know? He's been moping he really misses you' she concentrated hoping Cecilia would hear, she herself could'nt read minds but she knew Cecilia could.

Jill sighed and drew a little scribble in the corner of the paper. Staying quiet, she looked around the classroom.

Brooke got out a quill and some parchment. When she noticed Atmor she smiled and picked up her things to move next to her. "Hey." she mouthed to her with a smile, then looked back up at the professor.

Atmor looked at Brooke "Hey" she mouthed back then scribbled at the top of her parchement

Brooke glanced down at what she had written. She shook her head with a sorrowful look. "Not since last night." she whispered.

Atmor sighed and nodded "Ok"

Themea cleared his throat when he heard one of the Slytherin girls speak. He hoped his message would get across.

Dinara was sitting at her desk parchment smooth on the table and quill in hand. She was ready to start taking notes.

Hearing her housemates chatter, she shot them an icy look. She did not think Slytherin could afford to lose any more points. They were already dreadfully in last.

"Meet me at the lake after class, we'll talk then." Cecilia thought

Brooke rolled her eyes at the two slytherins and sighed. Finally turning her attention back to the professor she put her chin on her hand.

Atmor nodded and looked at her parchment then at her finger, she always took the ring off for classes, she missed the feeling of it around her finger.

Spotting a recognisable face among the crowd Patrick folded a piece of parchment and scribbled on it.

Then pointing his wand at it he muttered a Levitation charm and sent it over to the Ravenclaw's desk.

Kerry saw a note levitate across the room and glared at her house mate who had done it. This is a classroom, not the common room, she thought. Biting her tongue among all the disrespectful students around her was getting more difficult by the minute.

Dinara shook her head as she tried to ignore all of the distracting activity that was going on in the classroom. She rearranged the items on her desk as she couldn't help but to fear that Slytherin was going to lose more points that they couldn't afford to lose because of her housemates.

Emma started slightly when a peice of parchment found its way onto her desk. She opened it and read it. Smiling slightly, she looked up and saw Patrick. She neatly wrote on it in neat letters.
Grinning slightly as she sent it back.

Megan glanced around to see people mouthing things to their friends and smiled. She sat patiently, waiting for class to begin.
