Lainey was dressed in vivid pink today. She'd never been so happy in all her life and it showed. Her ropes were pink, her shoes, her tights, her dress, her cheeks and lips. She had bought some candy from Honeydukes and each desk had a small mound of Peppermint Humbugs on it.
Lainey propped open her door and was ready to start her first lesson of the new term. | |

Since everyone had already spoken Ellie kept her mouth shut while she rolled her eyes..
She was sitting in the meddle of the room tapping her quill softly on the table while she listened to the students giving their answers.
Valentines day...

"AH! You all DO know the various muggle tales of this and that. Blah blah, huh? It's all very romantic, sure sure, but behind every good muggle legend - is a witch or wizard. Or so, my sources go. But.. maybe not this time..."

As she asked the question about the day of love, he snorted. "Really now. Surely you don't all believe of this love day thing do you? It's nonsense and it's meaningless." Kingston said, his voice loud enough for the whole class to hear. "If you ask me love is a foolish thing," he said with his hand running through his hair. "Use your imagination, sweetheart. Just keep it out of my floor." Lainey hit him with the sweetest smile she had.

That's according to legend, of course," Excelsior said. "Excelsior, you are always so good in History. I do hope to see you ace your OWLS and NEWTs in my subject. This is precisely what I was looking for." Lainey paused. "I'll give you all a few points for your answers, well done class, and five to Excelsior."
"Now.. what can you tell me about cupids?" Lainey was bouncing with excitement. She always had the smartest students.

"Based on the Greek god Eros, Cupid was his Roman name." Cassandra shot quickly.

Ellie raised her hand "In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of love and beauty, one of his Latin names Amor. In popular culture Cupid is frequently shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine's Day."

"Cupid is a winged being Ma'am. The bringer of love between two people. Sort of matchmaker if you will," Marco called from between the two bickering Prefects.

"Cupid was the god of love in Roman mythology. The ancient Romans often depicted Cupid as winged child or baby who carried a bow and quiver full of arrows."

Clifford managed a small grin in Excelsior's direction when he won Slytherin five points.
At least the others knew about this Valentine's day of -- thingy, stuff, because Clifford was clueless. Cupids? What on Earth was that? Completely and utterly clueless.
Perhaps Professor Lainey wouldn't notice if he snuck out. He was starting to feel a little sick..

Savannah shifted in her seat slightly, sitting back up straight after getting parchment and her quill; things she'd possibly need out, and had set them infront of her. Attention turning fully back to the class. "In roman mythology, Cupid's are the god's of erotic love and beauty." She spoke up, briefly. "Muggle wise, atleast. The wizarding verson might be different, I think.."

"In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of erotic love and beauty. He is a lively youth who delights in pranks and spreading love. That's why people depict him as shooting people with arrows to make them fall in love with each other. It shows both his nature as a prankster and his relationship with love and beauty." She hoped she was saying the right thing. She'd read about this once out of curiosity, but it's not like she studied it or something.

" In roman mythology, Cupid is the equivalent of Eros, the Greek god of love. He is oftenly represented with a bow and arrow, representing romantic love"
Jessica answered, hoping she wasn't to superficial.

"Cupid is a holiday character usually representing Valentines Day and the emotion of love. Cupid is based on the god of Roman mythology of the same name but has undergone many changes. The most common representations of Cupid include a baby with wings and a bow and arrow. Sometimes the arrow has a heart for its tip. Cupid is most often seen nude or diapered. Cupid is sometimes blindfolded, symbolizing the figure of speech "love is blind."
" Ray replied

Excelsior knew a bit more about the story. "Cupid was a mischievious winged child who was sent by the goddess Venus to punish Psyche because she was so jealous of her. But the plan backfired because Cupid ended up falling in love with Psyche himself. Cupid is the most widely recognized symbol of St. Valentine's Day even up to present time." | |

"Didnt Cupid fly around shooting Arrows at unsuspecting men and women thus making them fall in love with each other" Vannie stated rhetoricly as she raised her hand not exactly sure with her answer.

Hitachi's hand shot up at the Professor's question. "Cupid is the god of erotic love and beauty." Hitachi finished.

Sahrina walked in and sat at an empty desk. They were talking about Valentine's day, so she assumed she hadn't missed the start of lessons. She was very excited for her first lesson in Hogwarts. she got out parchment and a quill, read to take notes.

Jade raised her hand once again. "Cupid is a symbol representing Valentine's Day and the emotion of love. He is based on the god of Roman mythology of the same name. Cupid is most often seen nude or diapered. He also often appears blindfolded, symbolizing the figure of speech "love is blind"," she said. She hesitated and added "It is said that if Cupid's arrow hits you, you will fall hopelessly and madly in love with the next person you meet."

"Right. Imagination. Like I have one," he murmured, taking his wand out and pointing it at the piece of candy. Thinking of what he should do with it, he smirked and said "Duro." In a quick second the piece of candy turned into a stone making Kingston smile with satisfaction.
"Cupid. Total nonsense," he muttered under his breath while folding his arms and looking at the rest of his class. | |

Amelia listened to all the other students skeptically. Something told her that there was more to cupid than meets the eye; either that or she was getting used to Lainey's twisted views on things. She took a gulp and raised her hand, "Professor Lainey, you don't suppose it is possible that cupid c-could be a w-w-wizard? Do you?" She remembered the Santa story from last term, and thought this might be something similar.

That Kingston was getting on her last nerve!
"Professor, could cupid have been the product of a wizard and a pixie?" She looked at Kingston... "You know, if some wizards can't find a witch who will fall in love with them?" she added for Lainey.

Maybe that class wouldn't be so boring as she thought it would be.

Listening closely to her classmates, Savannah sat in thought for a moment. Her hand shooting up after Amelia finished. "Or maybe, to add to Amelia's idea. Maybe is it possible Cupid was half-wizard and possibly half-creature? He had wings, the myths say." She suggested, uncertainly.

"I think Cupid was a wizard," Jade spoke while reading her notes from the lesson. She paused and continued "Cupid is Eros in Greek Mythology. He was sometimes referred to as Eleutherios, "the liberator". Perhaps Cupid was a good wizard who helped Muggles and became legendary."

"Dear God," Kingston laughed, looking at his classmates. "People listen to yourselves. Cupid this and cupid that. It's all like you said myths. It maybe just a story to make people fall in love with each other. These are lies. Listen to yourselves for Merlin's sake. You sound ridiculous," he said with a snort. | |

"Cupid is the god of erotic love and beauty. He is equated with the Greek god Eros, and another one of his Latin names Amor." Dia answered. "He may have been a wizard, yes, and his arrows could have been annointed with Amortentia...just like people often do with poison dart frogs..."
