Charms Lesson Three
 

Cassandra Trelawney opened the door to the charms classroom and entered, locking it behind her. She sent a spell to clean up after the previous class. She made sure all the tables and chairs were in order and clean. She looked out of the window overlooking the front drive, and smiled. She was in her healer robes, and she held her wand tightly in her hands.

She took conjured a cot and left it in the middle of the class. She couldn't wait until the student would file in... She looked at the clock and decided it was time.

She unlocked the door and moved to sit behind the desk, which was to the right of the podium.

Lucas walked into the classroom and almost back peddled when he saw the Nurse Intern. He gulped and hiked a smile on his face and puffed out his chest and walked in. "Good afternoon Nurse Trelawney Madame." He said formally bowing her to her slightly. She was big on manners and he didn't want her vulture-like glare to gaze upon him. He rather thought she would delight in burning him on a spit if he crossed her.

He quickly sat down and found his seat. He didn't want to give her any cause to be stern with him. She scared the Transformer underwear off of him.

Meagn strolled in "hello" she said cheerfully to the proffesor and nodded at the young slytherins they seemed to gather together. "How are you" she added hoppeing this would be a fun class she sat front center

"I am well... and, call me Ms Trelawney," She said smiling at the students. "I hope you all went over your charms chapters..." She said looking at the book before her, "we're going to do a little review first... before I actually teach."

Megan nodded and opened her book she was glad this class was one of her best she didn't think she would do well if it wasn't a knack of hers

Hannah walked into the charms classroom. "Hello, Ms. Trelawney," Hannah greeted her teacher politely. She wasn't quite sure what her formal title was, exactly, so she was glad that she had walked in right as the teacher was telling the students how to address her.

"Yes ma'am Ms. Trelawney." Lucas repeated obediently as he nodded furiously at her. She terrified the pant of him and he was glad he went to the bathroom before this class. "Yes ma'am I went over my book." He said honestly.

Raiden smiled, really really smiled. His eyes went all mis-matched with the expression. She was smiling... did that mean she wasn't mad at him, or the others, anymore?

"Okay. Ms. Trelawney," he said softly. "And I'm looking forward to your class today. I think it will be-" -he eyed the cot- "-interesting. And hopefully lots of fun."

He stood there for a second longer before taking a seat as close to the front as he could get. Quietly, he slid his Charms book from his bag and started to review.

Whitney walked into the Charms classroom. "Hello Ms. Trelawney. How have you been? I can't wait for class to get started" Which was pretty true.

Whitney thought back. She'd read most of the chapters. Whatever she didn't fully read she skimmed.

Rapunzel strolled into Charms, merely raising an eyebrow at the cot in the center of the room. She wasn't at all surprised to see the Intern teaching; after all, she did read the notices in their common room.

Punz nodded to the teacher and took a seat in the center of the room. No need to be too close to Trelawney, after all, she had an....interesting reputation.

Not knowing where to sit, Whitney saw someone nice sitting down near a window. It seemed safe to her so she went up to him. "Hi, would you mind if I sat with you?" she said nervously. If he said no, she'd just find somewhere else to sit.

Staring our the window blankly, Dominic hardly noticed someone talking to him. Probably just the student behind me ... But there were no other voices after that, causing the fourth year to turn away from the window and tilt his head as he stared up at a young girl wearing a green tie. "Not with me, but the seat next is open," he told her, shrugging. He wasn't about to stop her.

Hannah felt a little relieved when she saw Whitney walk into the room. "Hi, Whitney," she said to her. "Hello. I'm Hannah Weasley," she said to the boy at the desk. "Do you mind if I join you?" she directed back at Whitney.

Frightfully, she stepped into the classroom, not expecting to find such an ambiance. To Daphne, it seemed that she accidentally had stumbled into an operating room. The kinds you'd see in dramatic hospital shows in muggle television where the tools and gadgets didn't truthfully work. Hopton's hazel eyes swept over Trelawney's body quickly before she took a seat, not uttering a word.

Detention was still fresh in her mind (and it would forever be) and she had no intention of going through something similar again, no matter how much she despised this brand of grown up.

Review. Piece of cake. She'd read the whole textbook already...twice. She grabbed her usual note-taking tools and waited. Hopefully Cassandra would make this an interesting lesson.

"Um, oh right sorry." she said. 'Intelligent Whitney strikes again' she thought to herself. Just as she was sitting down, she was thankful to see Hannah walking to her."Hey Hannah! I don't mind, than again I'm not the only one here." she said glancing next to her.

"By the way, I'm Whitney."

And then another girl came up to the girl who had asked him not moments before to sit next to him. Oh for canaries sake; they were like a flock of bees after honey! Sighing, Dominic rested his chin lazily on his hand and eyed her as she introduced herself. "Dominic," he replied to both Hannah and Whitney, but left it there. No need to say more than necessary.

Hannah looked warily at the boy who'd just introduced himself as Dominic. He didn't seem to be very friendly. She shrugged it off and took a seat on the other side of Whitney, leaving her in the middle. Dominic intimidated her a little. But maybe he was nice, she just didn't know him very well... Oh, well. Whatever. she decided.


Hannah's eyes involuntarily followed the boy who'd just walked into the room. He was rather... beautiful. He was in Hufflepuff and looked to be somewhere around sixth year. She blushed and looked away. She hoped he hadn't noticed. Time to focus!! He's too old for you, anyway, she chided herself. Nothing wrong with eye candy, though... she said, giving him one last glance before she pushed the thought out of her mind completely. She pulled out her charms book, ready to review.

"Settle down." Cassandra said with her usual more stern voice. "We're going to wait a few more minutes until the others get here... and then, I better hear no more chatting... GOT IT?" She leaned back in her chair and then said "I suggest you use this time to review the last few chapters..."

ooc: I'm going to pick this up in 8 hours or when I wake up. Post away!

Rapunzel was carefully arranging her parchment, quill, and Charms textbook in a tidy formation on her desk when one of her favorite star players slipped into the seat beside her.

"Ello Curtttttis," Punz beamed, leaning back in her chair as she talked to him. "But of course there is...and I assume you'll be there this time?" She put extra emphasis on the last two words and winked at the older boy, before realizing that they were in class which was being taught by not-the-nicest professor....

"...And first we have to survive this lesson," Punz added in an undertone, nudging Curt slightly and sitting up straighter at her desk. She was great at Charms but who knew how this "professor" taught. Punz was guessing that she probably didn't like idle chatter, if her speech a second before had been any indication.

Rapunzel sighed and opened her neatly arranged book to a random page, spotting the phrase, "careful pronunciation" right away. Oooh, those o's kinda look like little quidditch hoops, she thought, starting to doodle in the book. And that l could be a sideways broom....

Camira glared at all the girls around Dominic. Really, of all the places to sit. She sighed dramatically and forced herself not to say anything. Cassandra would not put up with that. She'd have to speak to these girls later though. Find out their motivations in terms of seat selections. She was not about to deal with competition.

Megan turned around in her seat to look at the class she smiled to herself to see a bunch of younger students gathered around an annoyed looking slythrin boy. The lower students were being quite brave
