Lolita Carmen Inocencia Domingo. Well, she’s got a reaaally long name, and a foreign sounding one too! Intrigued, and because it was basically time for Arithmancy class, Ethan made his way to the classroom, with his satchel hanging on his shoulders. Hmm. Looks like he’s the first one to arrive? Was he that early? Mordred’s early wake up calls during the summer did pay off, huh? Mhm.

Ethan quietly opened the door to the classroom and peaked inside. Yep. First one to be there. Up ahead though was a chalkboard with a set of instructions. Squinting, he made his up to the board and read the note carefully. But wait…Sniff, Sniff. What is that smell? The young Slytherin looked around, but the professor was nowhere to be seen. Shrugging, he turned back to the board and followed the instruction. Ethan opened his satchel and got a piece of parchement, folded it into two and wrote his Name, Year, and House.

After which, he chose a table somewhere in the middle and placed his parchment tent on it, and his satchel on his chair. Right. Toga. Behind the chalkboard, he got himself the right size, went to the back of the classroom and changed. See, the perks of being early. He got to choose the perfect piece. But there's that smell again. SNIFFFFF. Shrugging, Ethan flattened the crease on his toga, fixed his hair and went back to his seat and waited for the others to arrive. Simon? Cutty? Grayson? Merlin. Did they oversleep again???

Caleb was not sure WHAT to think of this new professor - he hadn't even SEEN her yet. As he entered the room, he could immediately smell...something cooking, but he had no idea where it was. No professor, either. But he had to change into a TOGA?

Ok, this was weird. Were they going to pretend they were from ancient Greece or something?

Still, he grabbed a toga in his size and proceeded to the back area to change. He threw it on as instructed (man, his teenage arm muscles looked GOOD in this thing!) and then went back to his desk to create a name tag as per the instructions on the board.

So they were finally having an Arithmancy lesson. Layla was curious about how the subject was handled over here, since back home it had basically been like sitting through a typical muggle math class. And at first glance, it seemed like that was the way it was over here, too. Until she had actually taken a seat and began to read the board. And was someone grilling something? Indoors? In the dead of winter? Oooookayyyyy.

Trying to ignore the grill smell, as it was making her hungry, Layla started following the board's instructions, quickly but neatly jotting down her name, house and year and folding the paper into a perfect tent.

Once that was done, she went over to the box and began shifting through the togas. Which she was still wondering how fit into Arithmancy or even grilling, because she was pretty sure that grilling was mainly associated with the Americas and she knew togas were an Ancient Greek thing. Hmmmm. Anyway, Layla searched through the box until she found a toga that looked about the right size. Taking that toga, and making sure she hadn’t left any on the floor around the box, Layla hurried off to the bathroom to change.

*Ten minutes later*

Layla hurried back into the room now wearing the toga (which was a little too long, but it'd be okay) and stuffed her uniform into her book bag before taking her seat back at the seat that now bore her makeshift nametag. Now, what was this all about?

Adi was curious about this new Arithmancy Professor. He seriously hoped she wasn't anything like Professor French. That man made him dislike Arithmancy. He stepped into the classroom and the first thing that hits him is the smell. What was it?

He drew his attention to the black board. O_O Toga? Okaaaay then. The class hadn't even started and things were already weird. He found a seat then proceeded to make the parchment tent:

Done with that, Adi grabbed one of the togas that was his size and headed to the back of the classroom where he began changing behind one of the dividers.
...........................

A couple of minutes later, the Hufflepuff stepped out wearing the toga. Wondering why on earth they had to wear this thing, he sat down at his seat.

Grinning from ear to ear because he had the feeling that the Professor he had met and angered at the beehives was the Professor who teached Arithmancy, he was wondering how she would look when he had entered through the door. But he was dissapointed that he couldn't find her anywhere and instead saw a message on the blackboard.

Toga? What on earth was a toga? .....was it food? it sounded like food. But ...why would they have to dress up food? Yeah that was just weird. The Gryffindor grabbed what was a Toga out of the box and raised his eyebrow. WEEEIIIRD! He then followed the other group of males to the back of the room to change.

There was simply NO WAY that he was going to take off his uniform to wear the Toga...nu-uh. So the second year wrapped the toga (in the wrong way because how on earth did one wear this even?) over his uniform minus the robe which he held over his arm and walked back to the classroom.

Finding an empty seat next to Adi, he sat down without asking and groaned. "Seriously...whats up with these weird dresses?" he said while writing his name on a piece of parchment. Although....she SHOULD know him by now hehe.

It is a pretty big disappointment when you can't drop Arthimancy. But new Professor, name tags, and he would be taking his shirt off in class. Sounds like a winning recipe to Nigel. Did he have to do to the changing room? It is not like he is shy about taking his clothes off.

Oh Well, Nigel grabbed a toga and went to the back and changed into it. There.

Now onto name tag. Beautiful Name Tags

Lucy walked into the classroom for the Lesson of Arithmancy..
She saw a chalkboard straight ahead with some instructions..
Toga? This was very weird!Then Lucy made the parchment tent:
Lucy took a toga and went to the bathroom to change her uniform....
....
When Lucy returned from the bathroom a few minutes later she thought:"But where is the Professor?"
That thing was curious..

Marigold was actually excited for this class, as there was a new hopefully not crazy professor, which was automatically better than Professor Beard because… those instructions… INCLUDED TOGAS!!! Marigold quickly made herself a name tag, not in her best handwriting because honestly, her mind was on the toga part.

Then she grabbed a toga and went to the bathroom to change. A few minutes later, she emerged fully fitted in a toga. Which was toooootally awesome.

Agatha didn't know what to expect form this class at all because she had never studied this subject. Once she entered the classroom, she was immediately suspicious. Why weren't they wearing their uniforms? And what was up with that weird smell?? Suspicious...

She read the instructions on the board and thought they were weird. Very weird. Not the name tag, of course, that was normal, but the toga... but she wasn't going to disobey orders, so she went up to the front of the class and grabbed a... not-so-odd-looking toga - they were all pretty much the same, but Agatha chose to pretend hers was a bit better - and went to change.

...

Once she was back in the room, the decided to at least sit near somebody she knew. Who knew what could happen in this weird lesson... if needed, she could hide behind some of the older kids or yell orders to the ones she knew so they would do something. The third year decided to sit by the Ravenclaw prefect because 1- he was way older and easier to be used as a shield; 2- he was a Ravenclaw, so he would be one of the first ones to think fast and act if anything went wrong (or so she hoped).

"Hello." She greeted the older boy and checked his name tag. The guy with the hair. ....Okay. The name pretty much forced Agatha to look up and check his hair out. Hm. It was a nice hair indeed, but maybe it hadn't been a good idea to sit next to that particular Ravenclaw...

Togaaas? WHAAA-?

Noel eyed the other boys grabbing the sheet like dresses and disappearing behind dividers - only to appear wearing them and looking ridiculous.

NOEL DIDN'T WANNA.

Because a) It was like wrapping your bed sheet around you.

And b) He DIDN'T WANT TO take off his shirt in front of other boys. BIG MUSCLE-Y boys.

SIGH. After resisting forever, he dragged his feet to the boxes and grabbed one that looked like would fit him. He went behind the divider - CLOSED his eyes and just quickly changed into the thing. PHEW.

NOT even trying to see how he looked like because he knew he looked like everyone else: RIDICULOUS. The boy found himself a seat and made himself a name tag and placed it on his desk.

Jasmine arrived at the Arithmancy classroom for her first class with Profesora Peru. She couldn't wait to see how this class was going to be because Professor Domingo had seemed to be "muy interesante" when Jasmine and her classmates encountered her on the school trip. If nothing else, it would be fun to see her interact with the Headmistress during the year.

Unfortunately, the Professor was nowhere to be seen. She had however left her instructions on the blackboard. Jasmine wrote her information on the parchment as instructed and folded it in half to make a name card.

OK, they would be wearing togas for this lesson. Hmmmmm. Jasmine could not imagine what could possibly be in store for them today. She went over to look at the togas and chose one hat appeared to be about her size. They were to change clothes in the bathroom so Jasmine headed in that direction to complete that task.

********
Having changed, Jasmine returned to the classroom and looked for an empty seat. When she found one to her liking, she put her things down and took a seat. She allowed herself to relax a moment, while she waited for class to begin.

Walking into the arithmancy classroom, Penelope noticed the instructions on the chalkboard. The professor was nowhere to be seen. What was that smell? Penelope got out a piece of parchment and wrote:
They would be wearing togas? What would they do with togas? She grabbed one of the togas and went to the bathroom to change.

No professor...but plenty of instructions. The third year took note of what he needed to do, making a face at the costume change. Grrrreat. Moving further into the classroom, he headed towards Adi figuring to sit nearby. "Hey," he said, picking out a piece of parchment and making a tent, scrawling his name and needed information on one side.

Setting the name tag in place at a desk near his friend, Benny retrieved his size from the supply of togas and headed to the back of the room. Crazy outfit it was and plus it was kind of a bit too cool to be wearing such a thing. Oh well. When he could, the Gryffindor awkwardly returned to his seat, sitting down and wondering the cause of both the outfit...and the smell.

New Arithmancy Professor again. Wasn't Mr. French enough of a mistake? The Gryffindor had long since come to the understanding that the only person suitable to teach the mundane subject of numbers was now teaching them how to burn meals in Muggle Studies. Shame how that turned out. Now the Gryffindor didn't even know whether she wanted to continue this class or not. It didn't prove to be the only thing standing between her and unemployment and if she hadn't been learning anyway there was no point but eh, she wasn't one to skip a class so here she was...reading the board that spoke about name tags and togas.

Nope. Not gonna question it. Whoever this new Professor was, they just better not show up with a beard and a jolly old laugh like Saint Nick otherwise she'd be so out of here.

Lex grabbed a toga from the box and exited to the bathroom. She returned some time later she returned still not questioning anything but approaching this with an open mind. If she told herself she wouldn't learn anyway there wasn't a chance in hell she'd be paying attention so.....name tag.

Cris entered the Arithmancy classroom eager to greet the Arithmancy Professor but she was nowhere to be seen. Instead there was a whole bunch of instructions written on the board telling them what they were supposed to do while waiting for her.

TOGA! There were supposed to wear togas? Cris couldn't quite believe that. It was so totally....

Awesome!! But first things first, he pulled out a parchment of paper and folded it to make a tent and then wrote in his information with his quill.

Having completed the first step, he walked over to where Jasmine was already seated in all her toga splendor. "You look really nice, just like the Goddess Venus. I'll be right back " he whispered to her before heading to grab one of the togas from the box. Carrying that with him, he headed to the back of the classroom and got behind the dividers.

He proceeded to get out of his clothes before donning the toga. To his dismay, the toga was shorter than he had expected it to be. Tugging his toga down as low as it could go, he walked back to his desk.

"Could they make this thing any shorter? I don't think they factored in a person's height when they made this thing," Cris whispered to Jasmine as he began to blush. He slowly sat down and tried to tuck on the bottom of the toga he was wearing under his thighs.

BOOOOOOO!

Sophie had been SO EXCITED when she thought they may not have Arithmancy class again. But no. Here it was. She and numbers just didn't get along. She walked into class expecting to see this new Professor Domingo, but instead, she saw no adult in sight. ... WOOHOO!

She did see instructions, though. She took a seat and proceeded to make a tent out of a piece of parchment. On it, she wrote:

Sophie Newell

She placed that in front of her seat then went to collect a toga. She found her size then headed off for the bathroom.

This was Lux's first experience with Arithmancy class, so she didn't know what to expect. Certainly being asked to wear a toga was not on her list. Why togas? And where was the Professor? Confused, she went about making a parchment tent for herself:

Wanting to put her nickname on the card, it made her sad not to. But she didn't know this Professor, so it was best to not risk getting on any bad sides. Grabbing a toga, she headed off to the bathroom. A few minutes later she came back fully changed and feeling rather strange in this outfit. Taking a seat at her desk, she made sure that her name tag was fully displayed.

As Kace made his way to Arithmancy, he noticed the board was already written on. He noticed he needed to change into a toga. He smirked and was happy to be wearing one! He got a toga from the many sizes presented, once he found the right one, he went into the back of the classroom and started to change with the rest of the dudes. Once he got his toga on he noticed he needed to make a name tag.

He got out his quill and wrote...
Once it seemed legit, he waited patiently and began wondering what they were doing with this lesson that required them to wear togas.

Adi was still trying to decide how he felt about wearing a toga in a lesson when he noted Kevin taking a seat next to him. "Hey, Kevin,'' the Hufflepuff said to the second year. "Dude, I have no idea.'' That's when he noticed the other boy hadn't changed out of his robes. Adi grinned. "I see you wrapped the toga over your uniform. It's not wrapped properly though.'' Pause while he glanced down at his own. "Or is it mine that's not wrapped properly?'' Er...Confused third year here.

He was idly looking at how others had wrapped their togas when Benny finally arrived. "Hi, Benny!'' Adi grinned as he watched his friend make the parchment tent. Benny didn't seem to like the idea of wearing togas as much as he did.

Simon rushed into the Arithmancy classroom. He was expecting the Professor to already be in there, but to his surprise, she was not. Hmm.... So he was early? Or maybe she was hiding somewhere? Who knew?

He assumed that he was sort of early as he hadn't overslept this time. Thank Merlin. Instead he'd been busy speaking to Fuller about charms and whatnot. To be honest, he wasn't sure whether or not he should've been thrilled. He had always liked mathematics and working with numbers; however, his last Professor at his previous school hadn't been the best of teachers which made him become less enthusiastic about the subject.

Something smelt... weird. He couldn't say what it was.. Instead, he read the board that had a set of instructions on them. After reading the board, he grabbed a toga that looked like it would fit him. In the back of the classroom with the rest of the boys, he slipped it on. He felt very silly wearing a toga. Very odd. He wondered why the Professor was making them wear them and how it related to their lesson today. Then he made his parchment tent with his name written on it.
Now he just had to find a place to sit. He glanced around the room and found Ethan sitting at a desk. Merlin! The boy was really on time for all of their classes together. "Hey!" he said as he took his seat and placed his parchment tent carefully on the desk. "So what's up with the ancient outfits?"

.....And what was that smell?

Emmylou walked into the Arithmancy class, she looked around the classroom and wondered where the professor was. The third year wanted to introduce herself to the professor. The Gryffindor looked up at the board. She she had to make a name tag, change into a toga O__O and then sit back down and wait for the class to begin. That was easier.

The third year took the piece of paper and folded it it half and wrote down what was needed on it. Then she went over to find a toga, she found the smallest size and it looked like it was going to be to long and to big. #shortpeopleproblems. Emmylou ran off to the bathroom to go get it changed and then a few minutes later she came back with it on. As Emmylou made her way over to the seats she saw Kace. "Kace!" She smiled. She had her name tag in her hand and was about to look around for a seat when she tripped over the bottom of her toga, she put her hands out in front of her to make sure she didn't hit her face off the floor. "Ooof." She kind of stuck the landing.

The classroom seemed fine enough. But, when Tag got to inspecting the instructions on the board Tag simply squinted at it.

A Toga. TOGA? Oh goodness. Would the Professor turn out to be a whacko just like the last one Tag had heard of?

Ok. Tag went to go grab a toga, went to the back of the room and changed in the designated dividers section. After he felt like he was wearing his..... outfit.... correctly Tag went back to the classroom and found a seat.

Now, for the parchment tent. Time to think of a clever name.



Now Tag placed it on his seat. There. Now let the games begin.

Also, Nigel, salute to you for being clever and witty with your name.

Jasmine smiled when Cris came over and gave her a compliment she didn't expect. "Thank you so much, but I feel rather ridiculous", Jasmine said while looking down at her toga. She watched as he went off to change into his costume of the day.

When Cris came back, Jasmine resisted the urge to smile. He was clearly feeling uncomfortable in his outfit and she would not compound the problem by teasing him. Trying to appear unfazed by the fact that her boyfriend had just returned wearing a very short dress, Jasmine changed the subject. "So what do you think that the Professor has planned for us today?", she quietly asked.

Of all of the things that Ascanius had seen in his life...this new Professor was one of the best. He had been looking forward to this lesson all term since he had seen her roaming the halls and...well, yeah. Y'know, he was an appreciator of the way she pulled herself together, among other things.

So when he walked into class and saw that she was no where to be found Ascanius was rightfully disappointed.

Turning off the little grin that had been creeping up on his face since he had realised today was Arithmancy, he scribbled out some information really quickly on a piece of parchment, placed it on his desk and then went to grab a toga. Stranger things had happened in his classes here.

Nothing really threw him anymore.

When he returned from getting changed he sat down in his seat and waited. Eagerly.
