Default Charms 1 - Pick On Someone Your Own Size

___________________________
The classroom is set up neatly, with three rows of desks and chairs and two aisle allowing for ease when the Professor has to move around. It's not likely to happen given his inclination towards a more stationary position but there you have it.

The door stands wide open for everyone to pour in with a clock on the far wall directly opposite this door for those who would like to make a note of the time they got there. It's also for those who happen to be late. The Professor surely won't have to tell you if you can see it for yourself.

For the most part, nothing seems out of place. The board is empty and ready for any notes that you may need to take during the lesson and the windows have been opened wide creating a brighter effect in order to provide a gentler waker upper than the one the Professor could ever personally offer to those who still haven't quite left their beds in their own minds. The only thing missing would be the Professor himself. The man is nowhere to be seen, however there's a black cat curled up on a random desk, possibly lost to the world in sleep. Come on in. The Professor is around here somewhere.
The cat can be on anyone's desk, you can just claim it is at the top of your post if you so want. It's probably really friendly! Just be sure you read the rules before posting in this lesson. I'll be officially starting in maybe 10-12 hrs?

Class has begun

"Hey Zander." She greeted. "You look nervous about something? Is it the lack of pro---" Tia trailed off as she caught sight of the badge pinned to his robes. "You. Y--y-y-yooureee .... a Prefect?" Guess he had to attend classes now; obviously he was just being modest back in the robe shop.

Man. Apples. How the heck did he forget those? After going all the way down to the kitchens and taking a whole bucket full of them, too? How the heck was he supposed to make this Professor think he was 'a nice guy deserving of a passing mark on his OWLs' if he didn't give the guy apples??! Welp, this was already a terrible start. Though, he was sitting in the front. And only 'nice kids' did that. And Sophie. She did that too, but mostly just in potions..... ANYWAYS.

"Oh, hi-uh-" whatwashernameagain, "TiaMarie," that was definitely the one. Yet, he never really found out what the other girl's name was..... Had he? Oops. Not that she really helped with that, actually, so it wasn't entirely his fault either. Waaaait, why'd she stop talk-- Oh. That. Of course he had gotten his letter over the summer... So at Madame Malikins.... He knew he'd be one. But uh. It just, uh... Didn't come up? "Oh uh-- Yeah... I guess I forgot to mention that last time... But-uh-it's my first year," he glanced a casual look down at his badge WILLING HIMSELF NOT TO TURN PINK. How come every time someone even mentioned the Prefect thing he just yeaaaah.

Janelle was so excited. Her first class at Hogwarts was about to happen. Entering the classroom, she took a moment to look around. Seeing some of her new friends, she waved at them. Adi, Margo, Sopie, Eden and Kate as well as some other familiar faces were all present.

The Professor though, where was he or she? Janelle guessed she'd just have to wait for that surprise. Finding an empty seat, she slid into it and began to unpack her bag. Soon.....class should be starting soon.

Weird.

Anyway, Adi went off to find himself a seat, nodding at those there already. Though Caleb, Dante, Zeke and Kevin each got a 'hey' from him. Now seated, the Puffer waited for the class to begin, wondering what today's lesson would be all about.


He didn't care about the people looking at the cat... the cat in class was WEIRD, definitely off... so no, he was not interested in THAT. But what he was interested in, was finding out who'd be sitting near him, so he watched as people entered.

Seeing Adi's silent greeting, Zeke returned it with a head-nod. Yep. Hey dude.



And thhheeennn.... he spotted a Hady.


SPOILER!!: Hady

One there was already quite a few others there which was alright by her she didn't want to be first anyways. Second the Professor wasn't here yet. Weird but okay still. Third was the cat curled up sleeping on one of the desks. Interesting to say the least.

Slipping into the room silently she spotted a free desk towards the middle of the room somewhere and headed for it. Sliding into her seat she set her bag down beside her feet glancing around the room. Maybe she could ask the Professor for a charm to keep her necklace from breaking and possibly one other charm she had in mind.

However she had other things to do first. So removed her parchment and quill from her bag and set them on the desk before her. With that done all she needed was to wait for the Professor.


His fellow second year sat near him, which was great, but not entirely great enough. Was she okay? She didn't even say hi.

It was a good thing that he hadn't started unpacking, it made moving that much easier, and it was a bonus that the seat next to her was still available. Quickly, Zeke grabbed his bag strap and slipped over into the seat that separated them.

"Hey," he greeted, all grins. Yep, hi, he came to bother her during class. How considerate of him, right?

Figuring that class WOULD be starting soon, he started pulling out his things too. Notebook, quill, ink, textbook, wand in holster... what else did he need???

Zhenya arrived to Charms, the first lesson of the term, and her first lesson as a SIXTH year! Holey moley! She looked around the classroom and waved to the familiar faces. Yeah, lots of them. And most of them she waved to she could call friends. That was warming, she had friends. She smiled and took a random seat, noticing there was no Professor. She was hoping to get a better look at this Professor. She had only seen him briefly at the feast, but he was smokin'. Like, hot stuff, handsome kind of smokin'. But a closer look would be nicer. She saw there was a cat perched on a table, and she remembered that this Professor could turn into a cat. She had seen it with her own eyes, when she was spying on the Staff Table. Perhaps that was the Professor right there? Who knows, maybe someone brought their cat in to play match maker or something? She pulled her parchment and quill and put it in front of her, then waited patiently for class to begin.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Who's bloody brilliant idea was it to force him to teach at 9 am? No really, he wanted to know. Maddox had spent the night planning the lesson for today because procrastination might have gotten the better of him over the weekend and now he was exhausted. If he'd remembered the class was set for 9 he'd have gone to bed with plans to wing it. That wasn't the case though so there he was, napping under the illusion the children would spend the entire day in the Great Hall and they would show up when he was well rested.

Placing it on the Professor's desk, Zeke turned and decided on a table in the middle-isn... so he passed the cat, giving it a weary look. How... suspicious. Had someone lost it? He didn't want to get pegged for stealing it. Nope.. FAR AWAY from the cat.
It wasn't clear how long he'd been curled on on the desk sleeping before he heard what could have been footsteps. Lazily he opened his eyes but barely lifted his head except to glance at the clock. Eh, there was still time and the kid wasn't complaining so he'd just...stay curled up like this. Nothing to see here, just a ca--

Ooohh! What was that? Large, yellow eyes followed the boy up to his desk in the highest hopes that someone had taken him seriously with the apple sentiment but after he placed it there then took a seat Maddox's hope fell a little. Apples...but candy apples...still....apples. Alright, they'd do! He made a note of this one before turning his head and trying to go back to sleep. 5 points should do it.

NOW PURR AND SAY HI BACK.
Sleep though, didn't come as easy as it had at first with yet another student walking in. This one actually took a seat closer to him. "Meow." Something like 'hello' but if the students kept pouring in he might actually have to go back to being a man and wait out the rest of the time with them. So much for napping til 9.

Not even a glance in his direction? Maddox would be offended--and probably was--until he remembered he wasn't looking much like himself at the moment. It was to be expected he supposed and he wasn't in the mood to do something about it so...

Oh look, the little Ravenclaw Dima Toussaint showed up to class. He'd never expected to see this one again save for those coincidental moments where run ins happened around the castle, and even then he suspected the boy might just keep walking as if he didn't know him. Fancy seeing him slump into a seat at the back.

He was staring and Maddox stared back with his own large pair of yellow eyes. 'Sup?

"That your cat?" he asked Bianca as he sat down at the desk next to her.
And the bully that tried to get him through the Gryffindor window that first night. Ah the memories. Not particularly fond memories grant you but yes, he remembered this one well. But no, he was not her cat. He wasn't a cat to be owned--well he was a cat but not an actual, true, born this way cat, so yeah, no owning thanks.

Good Cat.

Dante took a random empty seat and waited for Professor Q to show up. He would give him like 5 minutes before he shut his eyes.
Mr. Barrington. That reminded him he still needed to change the kid's name in his attendance register. What was the name he'd chosen again? Nigel was it? Yes, yes he remembered but made no moves to acknowledge the boy. No need, he doubted the Ravenclaw spoke cat.

Ha. Haha. Kid was gonna try greeting him. That was funny and awfully polite of him given the empty desk up from. The Professor watched from the desk he was curled up on as this one entered the room too. Sad to say, he was yet another who had not bothered to bring a apple. Shame that.

O_O
Why....was he looking at him like that...? It was just a bit of black fur....all over him and in truth his tail had been one of his more endearing features next to his large yellow eyes so...what was this kid's deal? Maddox watched him and watched a little more before another student entering caught his attention.

So, walking quick but also still smiling because this was just so cool she found a place to sit, it was a seat in the middle of the classroom, not in the first row but also not in the last and... She just couldn't wait for the lesson to begin and to see what would happen!
The sad truth of it all was probably that these students were apple haters. Not one, not a single one save the candy earlier? Maddox didn't look at this one for very long, instead he curled up again preferring to enjoy his last few minutes of rest before he had to start the lesson.

He strode down one of the Aisles until he spotted an empty seat that was beside Kevin-Bob, who was also nearby the wonderfully beautiful Bianca.. "Hey Gorgeous, Nice Cat I've got one like that at home" Aegis nodded and winked at her, then coldly said "IKB" to Kevin as he went past his Desk, Plopping his things down onto the empty beside his fellow Gryffindors.[/COLOR]
Why yes, he was a nice cat thank you very much and despite not being an actual cat, he would be taking this for a compliment. It was the fur wasn't it? He liked to keep it thick and glistening if he could. You know, it added to the appeal.

So nice of him to notice!

Without even questioning it, Evie walked right over to the sleeping kitty and SAT down at the desk it was sleeping on. "Hi, kitty," she said (because it was normal to talk to cats more than people, apparently) and gave the kitty a little ear rub.
Was it just him or was the area around him getting crowded? The girl who sat in the next seat was attracting company faster than he was prepared for and soon there was one sitting at the actual desk he'd fallen asleep on just moments ago. Eh, did this mean he had to move? "Meow." Because she'd said 'hi'. It was only polite.

Eventually though, he would have to get up and get the lesson started but for now, he supposed he could enjoy the ear rub. Might as well.

Maddox gave a little yawn as he watched this next one enter. It didn't bother him too much that the kid didn't acknowledge him because he'd just gotten an ear rub and those kinda made everything better.

Making his way to an empty desk, he smiled at the cat - but did not touch! - and made his way to the back of the room. "Hi, Dima," he said, settling into the desk next to him.
Hold the snitch.

Maddox heaved himself into an upright position, large yellow eyes following the young Ravenclaw who was making his way to his desk. Was that...could it be? An apple. Well at least someone had the common decency about them. Tail flicking from side to side, he was tempted to head to his own desk and grab the treat but he opted not to. Note was made however and this one could have 5 points as well.

Bless his little giver's heart.

Acquire some charm so they could charm people into doing things for them would be even better. Maybe he could even convince his sister to let him use her stuff. This was a potentially very useful class.
Having an apple now at his desk, Maddox wasn't too bothered by the fact that the next boy to enter hadn't bothered to take one with him. It was fine, all fine. No complaints here. A glance up at the clock said it was almost time to begin but by now he was sure that nap was a lost cause.

Talk about being ready for the lesson. By now Maddox had slipped back down into a curled position but his eyes landed on this one briefly and caught her getting ready for the class to start. It was nice knowing some came fully prepared to learn, even if it reminded him that he'd have to get up and do that teaching thing in a bit.

Eh.

Finally sitting down at her desk, Margo pulled out some parchment and a quill. Margo had also taken note of the rules and brought one shiney red APPLE That she placed on top of her desk as well. The professor was bound to see it there right?
O_O

Merlin, don't be dead. Maddox's ears pricked to attention as the young Hufflepuff nearly made her face acquainted with the floor. Luckily she hadn't actually fallen otherwise he'd have to take human form again and do that considerate Professor thing. If you asked him, it was much too early for that.

Ohhhh!! An apple! The second one of the day!!! He might have been grinning if he could but alas, it wasn't possible at the moment but she did get a rather cheerful "Meow!" And 5 points, she could have that too.

Immediately, she took her notebook from her bag and updated the letter to her dad. Basically, "I went to Charms first. The teacher wasn't there, but a cat was."
Large yellow eyes fixed on the next student to enter and take a seat. It was just...rather curious. Here he was curled up on a desk (apparently drawing attention), what could she possibly have to write at the moment? There weren't any notes.

Must have been a Ravenclaw thing. Maddox had never been one to understand that bunch.

Deciding a sufficient number of students had entered the class, Maddox was about to get off the desk, honestly he was but then another showed up meow-ing at him and petting his head and suddenly moving seemed like a lot more effort.

It would have to happen though. 9 am was drawing closer.

And another with a seeming lack of coordination. Oh joy. Between him and the Hufflepuff, Maddox might actually have had to play an active part in this lesson--though he shouldn't have to. The rules spoke against such things afterall.

Real smooth, kid, real smooth. He turned his head away, pretending to be more fixated with his paw. Not a witness, even if the kid did survive the fall.

Plenty of time to find out. In the mean time, he placed an apple on the professor's desk before coming back to the rest. "Hey," he said to Adi as he took a seat at the desk beside his friend.
This one was giving him strange looks too. Right then. Had he never seen a cat on a desk before? Was this REALLY such a strange sight? Students these days, Merlin.

The dwindling hope he had in the boy was rebuilt however when he TOO put an apple on the desk. Ah yes, this was getting better and better. 5 points to you too good sir.

Being preoccupied with the apples now on his desk, Maddox almost didn't notice the appearance of this next one--not until her face was practically in his face forcing him into a sitting position as he tried creating some distance. The ear scratching was appreciated but some space would be nice.

The man was starting to rethink having decided to take that nap. It was starting to get out of hand and in all that, he hadn't been able to rest. Not much anyway.

Ah, the girl with the overactive imagination from the lion welcome party. He watched her for only the smallest of moments before taking another glance at the clock. Sigh. The time was drawing nearer.

Another apple! This was a complete win for him and if he was being honest which rarely happened it was more apples than he'd been expecting but...but...why wasn't she putting it on his desk like the others....?

Surely she hadn't brought the apple for herself because he had strict rules about food in his class that also bordered a bit on hypocritical but no one needed to know that.

His big yellow eyes stayed locked on the apple. He was taking it regardless and if it really was for him then she could have 5 points too.

This was new, a change from the red apples he'd been getting since morning. A welcomed change sure but all apples were good apples in his eyes and this little Ravenclaw also earned herself an easy 5 points.

Scoff.

Yet another selfish little Hufflepuff deciding to keep the apple for herself. If he'd known they were gonna take them to class to eat for themselves, he'd have put the food rule in bold and removed the one about apples. His little head tilted to the side as he watched her take a seat with the apple before turning to his desk again. THAT was where it belonged, not on HER desk. Did he have to spell it out for them??

In the event it was his, he would be taking it and she could have 5 points but if it wasn't his...he'd be taking it and she'd get nothing. Either way, he won.

If he could be bothered, Maddox might have crawled off the desk to go see what fascinated this boy so much on his wand. Surely it must have been something absolutely eye catching, why else would the boy sit there standing at the piece of wood? It made perfect sense. Maybe he's ask him about it.

The Hufflepuff sat there, jiggling his leg in that fidgety way of his and tossing the green apple from one hand to the other, before his attention inevitably went back to the cat.
Left right left right.

Maddox watched from the desk as the boy tossed the apple from one hand to the next over and over. Was he taunting him? Was that it? Bring an apple but keep it? Must have been a Hufflepuff thing. They were the only ones that brought apples but kept them on their person instead of placing them on his desk. Probably planning to take a bit when they thought he wasn't looking, huh?

Mean. He didn't mention liking apples so they could have them. No matter. The Professor would take it anyway...once he was back in a form that actually had opposable thumbs. It wouldn't be so bad. He'd give him 5 points for the gesture, even if it wasn't intended for him.

Pet pet pet.

If he wasn't careful, he'd get used to this then the class would never start. It was possible he would have to haul himself up now, just to prevent more students from giving him reason to stay like this. Just...why was the floor so far away...?

Eh.

Okay, okay seriously he was going to get up. There might have only been 5 minutes left before the clock struck the hour and this seemed like a good enough time to start stirring. As Maddox uncurled he watched another student enter the room. This one didn't seem taken by the happenings of her classmates. There was something new for you.

No, she was practically dooming the poor Quigley guy - no one could live up to Fuller in her mind. Ever. No one.

Oh, hey. Cat.
He couldn't honestly say he was disappointed when the stream of apples seemed to stop pouring in. It'd been a fair amount of them that had taken his preferences into account and good on them. At current he supposed he could be satisfied with the ones presented...though more apples couldn't hurt, surely not.

He stretched, the fur bristling on his back as he worked out the little discomfort he felt. He needed to begin his lesson.

Maddox paused mid-stretch as he felt another hand. Oh? More students? Merlin he definitely needed to get a crack on things now. It looked just about like they were getting to the full amount of students which meant he didn't have to wait much longer and in that same respect, they shouldn't have had to wait any longer.

Uh-huh...so it was a Hufflepuff thing!! Could he throw them all in detention? Was taunting a Professor actually in the rule book? If not he had no problem saying it was anyway because this was unacceptable. Yet another student to have brought an apple but having it not placed at his desk with the others he was only left to assume it wasn't meant for him and that simply wouldn't do.

Not at all. Yet another apple he would be confiscating and another student who would be receiving 5 points.

This kid...made choosing a seat look like rocket science, he'd give him that. Just as he was about to hop from the desk he caught sight of the Lion Prefect mid-decision on a seating arrangement that worked for him. Did it really matter? They wouldn't be sitting for very long, in fact the chairs and desks would be gone soon.

These students weren't making it very easy for him. It seemed like every other second there was another that thought he was just SO irresistibly adorable that they had to pet him and as much as the gesture could be appreciated on the feline level, he had to class to start and needed to stop being distracted otherwise they'd never get anywhere.

With his resolve fully strengthened and this other student walking into the room, Maddox finally hopped off the desk he'd been sleeping on. Not a moment too soon either as it seemed that 9 am had approached and he was now obligated to educate this lot.

Not a fan of cats huh? Maddox watched one of the younger students put as much distance between them. Must have been like the 'Claw Prefect and that Gryffindor boy with their suspicious looks. Cat haters maybe? Or dead scared. Who could really tell what was going through the mind of a student these days?

If the class had been a bit nosier, Maddox may not have noticed but as it were, the bag and its loud thud were clearly registered and had his big yellow eyes darting over to the boy. It was probably the string of apologies that came pouring out after that saved this one. Honestly.

And with that, she proceeded to banging her forehead against the desk in frustration.
That.looked.painful? Would she be doing that the entire time? He...didn't want her passing out from brain damage on his watch because then he'd have to do something about it and...eh...he really didn't want to. Nope.

While she...had fun at her desk Maddox pretended to be occupied with something else. Anything else. He just didn't want to be a witness.

Just when he thought the class traffic had ground to a halt, there was yet another student making his way inside. Still early..or, according to the clock on time so all was good and he could have a seat while the Professor made himself more presentable for teaching.

Stare.

Was that some kind of enthusiasm for the class? He couldn't tell but this one reminded him of Meredith. You know it was bad when the Professor...cat...cat Professor got exhausted just LOOKING at you and he still had a whole lesson to teach! It was gonna be a long morning.

...................... If the man didn't show up in fifteen minutes, could they leave?
After watching the over enthusiastic one enter, this next guy looked close to not wanting to be there at all. It wasn't necessarily the case, as he knew, but when you had the energizer bunny, everyone else just looked back. Not your fault kid, blame the Gryffindor ahead of you.

This one reminded him of why it wasn't a good idea to fall asleep in the classroom in the first place. Students would enter and get the wrong idea. This Slytherin had the wrong idea. Maddox had never really thought to ban pets...but he never thought to allow them either and it was a discussion he wasn't prepared to open so best he get out of this cat form before the questions got louder and more widespread.

If cats could squint, he would be completely squinting at this Hufflepuff too. Every single person who'd brought an apple but kept it themselves was a part of that yellow house. Did this mean they didn't want the 5 points? He wouldn't give it if she planned to keep the apple instead of placing it with the others and if she wouldn't give it up and all, he'd take it anyway.

No food allowed, none, not unless it was for him. Perhaps he should have scribbled that part at the end. The nerve of some people and a Prefect nonetheless.

She situated herself in the seat she'd chosen and just sat there waiting to figure out what went on in a Hogwarts lesson.
As it turned out, the tiny people might have been harder to keep up with than his apples. No sooner than he'd spotted one, there was another making her way in looking as curious as the others. Must have been looking for him. Note to self, no more naps before the lesson. It simply didn't work out.

Another tiny person. How many did that make now? Huh, he must have lost count. Surely you couldn't expect him to keep up with the amount of apples he got AND the amount of First Years at the same time. It simply couldn't be done.

In the fourth year's mind, they were just a distraction from what they were here for - to learn charms.
And that looked like the last of the students. Yup. Could have been and even if it wasn't the hour had struck and he needed to get this show on the road, otherwise they'd never get anything done and before you know it, they'd all be saying it was HIS fault. Not the case, never the case. Ever.



Now that he'd made up his mind, he darted to the back of the room where the door stood open. Class was about to begin so...in one fluid movement, the cat stretched and grew and changed until it took on the form of a man. Now back to normal, the Professor gave another lazy stretch and a small yawn before he shut the door with a soft click. Granted, it wasn't locked locked, and late comers could still shove it open if they wanted to enter but he didn't want them getting the idea that they were early and welcomed.

Ahem. With that taken care of, Maddox made his way back to the front of the room, introducing himself as he did. "Good morning, glad you all managed to make it on time with no complaints about getting lost on the way." If they'd been lost, they certainly hadn't said and he was glad for that. The man wasn't here to listen to their problems. That required some deep digging for a sympathy tree and Merlin knew those were a lot of effort to grow. "Most of you don't know, but I am Professor Quigley and I'll be taking over the responsibility of teaching you lot Charms." The chalk got busy, writing his name at a moderate size on the board even as he spoke. "These are for you." He said sending name tags floating down to each desk. "I'll need you to write your names on them then stick it to your uniforms."

He'd learn the names...eventually...at some point...you know how it is.

While they were at that, he leaned leisurely against his desk and reached for one of his apples. Crunch. Mmm, this was real juicy. "I'd also like that thank those of you who got me apples. They're much appreciated." Which reminded him; selfish Hufflepuffs. "I trust the others of you with apples also meant them for me?" He might have been giving a somewhat pointed look but really, really, it was either that or they were breaking rules.

"Now then, before we get into the lesson, I have one simple question to ask." Ridiculously simple. "What do you do when you find yourself being attacked by something bigger than you?" Anyone could answer it; didn't even need a text book.


Class has officially begun, please do not post your charrie arriving after this point unless you're prepared for the IC consequences ^^ I'll post again in maybe another 10-12 hrs

Hady must have been deeply in thought because she heard the voice beside her before she even seen him there. When did he move? Wasn't Zeke just a few seats away, she remembered passing him to her seat. Had he moved over just to talk with her? If he did that was nice of him.

Grinning lightly at him she answered quietly so as not to disrupt anyone. "Hey, ready for the first class of the year?" It was a simple question to ask seeing as they were sitting in their first class. She was ready but then again she wasn't. Shifting in her seat a little she chewed on her lower lip in thought about this years lessons. Would it be tougher then last year?

Once more the young girl was drawn from her thoughts but this time it was by the Professor. He had introduced himself and then asked them to write their names on a name tag that floated to their desks. Simply enough really. Lifting her quill she jotted down her name in a small elegant script.

Hady Lynch

With that done she stuck the name tag to her robes like asked. Next came a question. What would she do if she was attacked by someone older then herself. What did he mean by attacked? Like physically or with words? Raising her hand she replied to the question. "Professor whether it be with words or physical I'd do what I could to defend and stand up for myself first." Just cause she was small didn't mean she couldn't handle herself. Right?

People actually brought the guy apples? Sure, Dima read the rules, but he wasn't going to bring him FOOD.

The Kitchen was free of charge, and he did have two working legs, right?

Internally judging the suck ups, including THORNTON, who had come and sat next to him and didn't get anything more than a "Hi," Dima turned back to the front of the room. And just in time to see the guy go from a scrawny black cat to his lying, kid-bribing man form too.

.... .... .... he liked Cuddles better.

Still processing THAT little display, he considered the question. Uh... run? Didn't normal people do that? Gonna abstain from answering here.

Maddox had spent the night planning the lesson for today because procrastination might have gotten the better of him over the weekend and now he was exhausted. If he'd remembered the class was set for 9 he'd have gone to bed with plans to wing it. That wasn't the case though so there he was, napping under the illusion the children would spend the entire day in the Great Hall and they would show up when he was well rested.



It wasn't clear how long he'd been curled on on the desk sleeping before he heard what could have been footsteps. Lazily he opened his eyes but barely lifted his head except to glance at the clock. Eh, there was still time and the kid wasn't complaining so he'd just...stay curled up like this. Nothing to see here, just a ca--

Ooohh! What was that? Large, yellow eyes followed the boy up to his desk in the highest hopes that someone had taken him seriously with the apple sentiment but after he placed it there then took a seat Maddox's hope fell a little. Apples...but candy apples...still....apples. Alright, they'd do! He made a note of this one before turning his head and trying to go back to sleep. 5 points should do it.




Sleep though, didn't come as easy as it had at first with yet another student walking in. This one actually took a seat closer to him. "Meow." Something like 'hello' but if the students kept pouring in he might actually have to go back to being a man and wait out the rest of the time with them. So much for napping til 9.



Not even a glance in his direction? Maddox would be offended--and probably was--until he remembered he wasn't looking much like himself at the moment. It was to be expected he supposed and he wasn't in the mood to do something about it so...



Oh look, the little Ravenclaw Dima Toussaint showed up to class. He'd never expected to see this one again save for those coincidental moments where run ins happened around the castle, and even then he suspected the boy might just keep walking as if he didn't know him. Fancy seeing him slump into a seat at the back.

He was staring and Maddox stared back with his own large pair of yellow eyes. 'Sup?




And the bully that tried to get him through the Gryffindor window that first night. Ah the memories. Not particularly fond memories grant you but yes, he remembered this one well. But no, he was not her cat. He wasn't a cat to be owned--well he was a cat but not an actual, true, born this way cat, so yeah, no owning thanks.



Mr. Barrington. That reminded him he still needed to change the kid's name in his attendance register. What was the name he'd chosen again? Nigel was it? Yes, yes he remembered but made no moves to acknowledge the boy. No need, he doubted the Ravenclaw spoke cat.



Ha. Haha. Kid was gonna try greeting him. That was funny and awfully polite of him given the empty desk up from. The Professor watched from the desk he was curled up on as this one entered the room too. Sad to say, he was yet another who had not bothered to bring a apple. Shame that.



Why....was he looking at him like that...? It was just a bit of black fur....all over him and in truth his tail had been one of his more endearing features next to his large yellow eyes so...what was this kid's deal? Maddox watched him and watched a little more before another student entering caught his attention.



The sad truth of it all was probably that these students were apple haters. Not one, not a single one save the candy earlier? Maddox didn't look at this one for very long, instead he curled up again preferring to enjoy his last few minutes of rest before he had to start the lesson.



Why yes, he was a nice cat thank you very much and despite not being an actual cat, he would be taking this for a compliment. It was the fur wasn't it? He liked to keep it thick and glistening if he could. You know, it added to the appeal.

So nice of him to notice!




Was it just him or was the area around him getting crowded? The girl who sat in the next seat was attracting company faster than he was prepared for and soon there was one sitting at the actual desk he'd fallen asleep on just moments ago. Eh, did this mean he had to move? "Meow." Because she'd said 'hi'. It was only polite.

Eventually though, he would have to get up and get the lesson started but for now, he supposed he could enjoy the ear rub. Might as well.




Maddox gave a little yawn as he watched this next one enter. It didn't bother him too much that the kid didn't acknowledge him because he'd just gotten an ear rub and those kinda made everything better.



Hold the snitch.

Maddox heaved himself into an upright position, large yellow eyes following the young Ravenclaw who was making his way to his desk. Was that...could it be? An apple. Well at least someone had the common decency about them. Tail flicking from side to side, he was tempted to head to his own desk and grab the treat but he opted not to. Note was made however and this one could have 5 points as well.

Bless his little giver's heart.




Having an apple now at his desk, Maddox wasn't too bothered by the fact that the next boy to enter hadn't bothered to take one with him. It was fine, all fine. No complaints here. A glance up at the clock said it was almost time to begin but by now he was sure that nap was a lost cause.



Talk about being ready for the lesson. By now Maddox had slipped back down into a curled position but his eyes landed on this one briefly and caught her getting ready for the class to start. It was nice knowing some came fully prepared to learn, even if it reminded him that he'd have to get up and do that teaching thing in a bit.

Eh.




O_O

Merlin, don't be dead. Maddox's ears pricked to attention as the young Hufflepuff nearly made her face acquainted with the floor. Luckily she hadn't actually fallen otherwise he'd have to take human form again and do that considerate Professor thing. If you asked him, it was much too early for that.

Ohhhh!! An apple! The second one of the day!!! He might have been grinning if he could but alas, it wasn't possible at the moment but she did get a rather cheerful "Meow!" And 5 points, she could have that too.




Large yellow eyes fixed on the next student to enter and take a seat. It was just...rather curious. Here he was curled up on a desk (apparently drawing attention), what could she possibly have to write at the moment? There weren't any notes.

Must have been a Ravenclaw thing. Maddox had never been one to understand that bunch.




Deciding a sufficient number of students had entered the class, Maddox was about to get off the desk, honestly he was but then another showed up meow-ing at him and petting his head and suddenly moving seemed like a lot more effort.

It would have to happen though. 9 am was drawing closer.




And another with a seeming lack of coordination. Oh joy. Between him and the Hufflepuff, Maddox might actually have had to play an active part in this lesson--though he shouldn't have to. The rules spoke against such things afterall.

Real smooth, kid, real smooth. He turned his head away, pretending to be more fixated with his paw. Not a witness, even if the kid did survive the fall.




This one was giving him strange looks too. Right then. Had he never seen a cat on a desk before? Was this REALLY such a strange sight? Students these days, Merlin.

The dwindling hope he had in the boy was rebuilt however when he TOO put an apple on the desk. Ah yes, this was getting better and better. 5 points to you too good sir.




Being preoccupied with the apples now on his desk, Maddox almost didn't notice the appearance of this next one--not until her face was practically in his face forcing him into a sitting position as he tried creating some distance. The ear scratching was appreciated but some space would be nice.

The man was starting to rethink having decided to take that nap. It was starting to get out of hand and in all that, he hadn't been able to rest. Not much anyway.




Ah, the girl with the overactive imagination from the lion welcome party. He watched her for only the smallest of moments before taking another glance at the clock. Sigh. The time was drawing nearer.



Another apple! This was a complete win for him and if he was being honest which rarely happened it was more apples than he'd been expecting but...but...why wasn't she putting it on his desk like the others....?

Surely she hadn't brought the apple for herself because he had strict rules about food in his class that also bordered a bit on hypocritical but no one needed to know that.

His big yellow eyes stayed locked on the apple. He was taking it regardless and if it really was for him then she could have 5 points too.




This was new, a change from the red apples he'd been getting since morning. A welcomed change sure but all apples were good apples in his eyes and this little Ravenclaw also earned herself an easy 5 points.



Scoff.

Yet another selfish little Hufflepuff deciding to keep the apple for herself. If he'd known they were gonna take them to class to eat for themselves, he'd have put the food rule in bold and removed the one about apples. His little head tilted to the side as he watched her take a seat with the apple before turning to his desk again. THAT was where it belonged, not on HER desk. Did he have to spell it out for them??

In the event it was his, he would be taking it and she could have 5 points but if it wasn't his...he'd be taking it and she'd get nothing. Either way, he won.




If he could be bothered, Maddox might have crawled off the desk to go see what fascinated this boy so much on his wand. Surely it must have been something absolutely eye catching, why else would the boy sit there standing at the piece of wood? It made perfect sense. Maybe he's ask him about it.



Left right left right.

Maddox watched from the desk as the boy tossed the apple from one hand to the next over and over. Was he taunting him? Was that it? Bring an apple but keep it? Must have been a Hufflepuff thing. They were the only ones that brought apples but kept them on their person instead of placing them on his desk. Probably planning to take a bit when they thought he wasn't looking, huh?

Mean. He didn't mention liking apples so they could have them. No matter. The Professor would take it anyway...once he was back in a form that actually had opposable thumbs. It wouldn't be so bad. He'd give him 5 points for the gesture, even if it wasn't intended for him.




Pet pet pet.

If he wasn't careful, he'd get used to this then the class would never start. It was possible he would have to haul himself up now, just to prevent more students from giving him reason to stay like this. Just...why was the floor so far away...?

Eh.




Okay, okay seriously he was going to get up. There might have only been 5 minutes left before the clock struck the hour and this seemed like a good enough time to start stirring. As Maddox uncurled he watched another student enter the room. This one didn't seem taken by the happenings of her classmates. There was something new for you.



He couldn't honestly say he was disappointed when the stream of apples seemed to stop pouring in. It'd been a fair amount of them that had taken his preferences into account and good on them. At current he supposed he could be satisfied with the ones presented...though more apples couldn't hurt, surely not.

He stretched, the fur bristling on his back as he worked out the little discomfort he felt. He needed to begin his lesson.




Maddox paused mid-stretch as he felt another hand. Oh? More students? Merlin he definitely needed to get a crack on things now. It looked just about like they were getting to the full amount of students which meant he didn't have to wait much longer and in that same respect, they shouldn't have had to wait any longer.



Uh-huh...so it was a Hufflepuff thing!! Could he throw them all in detention? Was taunting a Professor actually in the rule book?

It seemed like every other second there was another that thought he was just SO irresistibly adorable that they had to pet him and as much as the gesture could be appreciated on the feline level, he had to class to start and needed to stop being distracted otherwise they'd never get anywhere.

That.looked.painful? Would she be doing that the entire time? He...didn't want her passing out from brain damage on his watch because then he'd have to do something about it and...eh...he really didn't want to. Nope.

While she...had fun at her desk Maddox pretended to be occupied with something else. Anything else. He just didn't want to be a witness.




Just when he thought the class traffic had ground to a halt, there was yet another student making his way inside. Still early..or, according to the clock on time so all was good and he could have a seat while the Professor made himself more presentable for teaching.



Stare.

Was that some kind of enthusiasm for the class? He couldn't tell but this one reminded him of Meredith. You know it was bad when the Professor...cat...cat Professor got exhausted just LOOKING at you and he still had a whole lesson to teach! It was gonna be a long morning.




After watching the over enthusiastic one enter, this next guy looked close to not wanting to be there at all. It wasn't necessarily the case, as he knew, but when you had the energizer bunny, everyone else just looked back. Not your fault kid, blame the Gryffindor ahead of you.



This one reminded him of why it wasn't a good idea to fall asleep in the classroom in the first place. Students would enter and get the wrong idea. This Slytherin had the wrong idea. Maddox had never really thought to ban pets...but he never thought to allow them either and it was a discussion he wasn't prepared to open so best he get out of this cat form before the questions got louder and more widespread.



If cats could squint, he would be completely squinting at this Hufflepuff too. Every single person who'd brought an apple but kept it themselves was a part of that yellow house. Did this mean they didn't want the 5 points? He wouldn't give it if she planned to keep the apple instead of placing it with the others and if she wouldn't give it up and all, he'd take it anyway.

No food allowed, none, not unless it was for him. Perhaps he should have scribbled that part at the end. The nerve of some people and a Prefect nonetheless.




As it turned out, the tiny people might have been harder to keep up with than his apples. No sooner than he'd spotted one, there was another making her way in looking as curious as the others. Must have been looking for him. Note to self, no more naps before the lesson. It simply didn't work out.



Another tiny person. How many did that make now? Huh, he must have lost count. Surely you couldn't expect him to keep up with the amount of apples he got AND the amount of First Years at the same time. It simply couldn't be done.



And that looked like the last of the students. Yup. Could have been and even if it wasn't the hour had struck and he needed to get this show on the road, otherwise they'd never get anything done and before you know it, they'd all be saying it was HIS fault. Not the case, never the case. Ever.



Now that he'd made up his mind, he darted to the back of the room where the door stood open. Class was about to begin so...in one fluid movement, the cat stretched and grew and changed until it took on the form of a man. Now back to normal, the Professor gave another lazy stretch and a small yawn before he shut the door with a soft click. Granted, it wasn't locked locked, and late comers could still shove it open if they wanted to enter but he didn't want them getting the idea that they were early and welcomed.

Ahem. With that taken care of, Maddox made his way back to the front of the room, introducing himself as he did. "Good morning, glad you all managed to make it on time with no complaints about getting lost on the way." If they'd been lost, they certainly hadn't said and he was glad for that. The man wasn't here to listen to their problems. That required some deep digging for a sympathy tree and Merlin knew those were a lot of effort to grow. "Most of you don't know, but I am Professor Quigley and I'll be taking over the responsibility of teaching you lot Charms." The chalk got busy, writing his name at a moderate size on the board even as he spoke. "These are for you." He said sending name tags floating down to each desk. "I'll need you to write your names on them then stick it to your uniforms."

He'd learn the names...eventually...at some point...you know how it is.

While they were at that, he leaned leisurely against his desk and reached for one of his apples. Crunch. Mmm, this was real juicy. "I'd also like that thank those of you who got me apples. They're much appreciated." Which reminded him; selfish Hufflepuffs. "I trust the others of you with apples also meant them for me?" He might have been giving a somewhat pointed look but really, really, it was either that or they were breaking rules.

"Now then, before we get into the lesson, I have one simple question to ask." Ridiculously simple. "What do you do when you find yourself being attacked by something bigger than you?" Anyone could answer it; didn't even need a text book.


He was ready, ready and rearing to go.. or well, not GO go, but to LEARN something. Hopefully. That was the aim after all. Turning to Hady, he shrugged. " think so, I hope so, you?.." She looked more organised than him, so that was something.


....



It wasn't until the CAT... shifty sneaky cat that he KNEW there was something shifty about, turned into a man, that he decided he liked this class after all. Properly liked it. The photo stuff they did with Fuller last year was pretty cool, but Fuller couldn't turn into a cat as far as he could tell.

Zeke listened, clinging to EVERY word the new Professor spoke. He was even eager to fill out his name tag... correctly. Quill in ink, he quickly printed his name on the tag and then stuck it to his chest. ZEKE ROGERS. Yep. That'd do it. And then he listened more about the apple things. Was he included, cause there were LOTS of candy apples in there, so that's MULTIPLE apple flavoured moments. He won, right? RIGHT? Zeke spared a glance about the room to see how the others felt about this.

And then there was the first question. FIRST QUESTION! This was make or break, right? He HAD to impress new Charms dude.

Raising his hand, and waving it around a bit to get the man's attention, Zeke then supplied his thoughts on the matter. "What I normally do is get to higher ground, get an advantage, climb a tree, or a dumpster thing, or... yeah, and then you can do the whole jump attack thing!" He'd done it before, though, granted, it hadn't worked for him. All it did was hurt his wrists where he landed and then there was all the scrapes which he would have gotten anyway. Still, in THEORY, it was grand.

Caleb jumped slightly, but then remembered that at the feast, he'd heard a few people talk about the new Animangus professor. BUT, he'd had other things to worry about and had barely glanced at the table during the feast. When people were screaming and making a scene at the table, he kind of had other issues to worry about.

Now that he knew to make sure to watch the guy, just in case he went into cat mode again, he could focus on the lesson. He first wrote his name on his nametag:

Quote:
Caleb Newell
and then raised his hand.

"If I was being attacked by something bigger than me...I think I'd just run and try to find a place to hide. Someplace small, that I could fit in, but IT couldn't," he explained. That was pretty easy.

So Q was the cat. Well now that explained why he had the cat stuff in his office. It was for himself. And look at all the people giving him apples. Well he did read the rules about apples and did not know that there were this many people that would actually give him apples.

Oh name tags. That was cool, i guess. Dante had already given the professor his brother's name. So no Barrington name will be going on this name tag. A pun will be of course.

Dante wrote Neil B. Formy on his and up it on his chest. Perfect. Question Time and it was a pretty easy question for a second year.

"Professor Q. I would make someone else deal with the creature"

Simple. He never said he was by himself

Class has officially begun, please do not post your charrie arriving after this point unless you're prepared for the IC consequences ^^ I'll post again in maybe another 10-12 hrs
So Ehem...Aegis wasnt sure where the Professor was so he just kept on throwing winks at Cinna, and Bianca with each glance he made to them. They were the closest to his affection after all. He hadn't even seen the Cat get up from the Desk...so he rummaged through his things for bit as well to take note of the things he brought in with him. Then there was a Loud thud, and WHOA OKAY the Professor finally made it in. Flamsteed, took him long enough to get here. He certainly seemed Lazy during the Pride Party Thing.

A Name tag Flew towards him, so Aegis did as he was told and wrote out his name on it

What was the best way to handle someone bigger than you? That was simple. "You dive at it, try to trip it up." Aegis said confidently. Everyone knew the saying 'The Bigger they are, the Harder they Fall.'

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Cilla quickly wrote down her name on the name tag and attached it to her robes.

Quote:
Cilla Ashcroft
Cilla thought about the question. She usually made sure she was not in such a predicament. So after weighing up whether or not to answer, Cilla raised her hand.

"Erm, if we're talking about magic 'ere, I guess some kind of immobilising spell would be useful. I normally try not to be a part of such situations."

Okay, so she'd heard of animagi. She was actually taught those, and read quite a bit where they were mentioned. However, Ariel never expected to see one. They were pretty rare. Even moreso that she'd see one in her own professor. "The cat turned into the teacher," she quickly jotted down before turning her full attention to the now man.

She really should have come to a wizarding school with a more open mind.

But the professor was greeting them and...name tags? Oh. She supposed those were useful. After writing down her name, she attached it to her robes, then....were they supposed to answer that? Ariel raised her hand, if he called on her, then it must be meant to answer. "You...scare it off? Hit it in the neck, maybe? Or whatever makes it go down?" She was picturing something like a bear here because the professor was very unspecific.

More people were coming in, and Lux waved to them though it didn't take long for the Professor to arrive. "Hello, Professor! I have an apple for you." Yep. The one on her desk was for him; she had caught the look on his face and didn't wake him to get the wrong idea.

Anyway, the lesson was starting now and Lux made sure to have her textbook and notebook out so she could take notes. A name tag was sent her way, and she quickly jotted her name down on it before attaching it to her uniform:

Quote:

As a question was asked, she gave it consideration before raising her hand to answer. "I would try to find higher ground so I could shoot defensive spells without getting injured."

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

"Hey, Benny,'' Adi greeted, still watching the girl and the cat. When AJ turned up, it was no surprise that she too started to fawn over the cat... and totally forgot about him. Hmph. Not even a greeting from her. Eyebrow slightly raised, the Puffer greeted Angel when she came in. Oh hey, Janelle!
............................

Adi was still staring at the cat when... O_O

Professor Maddox was suddenly standing there. The man was obviously Animagus and Adi suddenly sat up a little straighter. He wanted to be an Animagus too! He was determined to be one someday, actually. He was lost in thoughts of that and it took him a while to realise the man was already addressing the class. Adi's eyes followed the chalk doing the writing on the board. Stuff like that always fascinated him.

Name tags in this class too? Well... the man was new so he would be needing to know their names. Using his quill, the Puffer wrote his name down before sticking the tag on the left side of his robes. As for apples... Adi didn't think he had that stashed in his bag. Chocolate Frogs and a scone, yes but apples? Might have to check later on. Onto the lesson then!

Ohh. Weird question but Adi raised his hand. "Panic but at the same time try to remain calm enough to think of a way to keep it away from you... or to defeat it." Well, yeah! Who wouldn't panic?

The cat... the cat was the professor. Of course. Of course it was. Toby was just... so not surprised about that at all. Took it all in his stride as he watched the man go ahead and shut the classroom door, kind of glad he'd not gone up to pet the cat earlier, even though his feline form was pretty cute.

Toby set the apple down on his desk finally, and plucked a name tag from the air as it reached him. As the professor spoke, he went about writing 'Toby Tempus' on it and stuck it on his robes, and at the mention of the apple, he simply nodded his head (as the professor was still talking and Toby didn't want to interrupt), and nudged it forward on his desk. He'd not even considered putting it on the desk earlier, mainly because he'd not realised that Professor Quigley was already in the room. It hadn't seemed right to just dump it on the man's desk, though Toby only now realised (by eyeing the congregation of fruit already up there) that that seemed to be what most students were doing. Other than that, he thought nothing of it.

Aaaaaand as for that question? Uhhh... well. Okay. That was more of a DADA kind of question, and anything involving hypothetical ATTACK situations made Toby go all weird inside because he was so useless at anything involving fighting BACK. Buuuut still, he raised his hand.

"I'd probably try to reason with it. Talk it down. Diffuse the situation if I could. With words, y'know?"

Well. It was true. Toby was about a million percent sure that wasn't the answer Quigley was looking for, but you better believe he'd try that first.

"Failing that, I'd run and hide. I'm a pro at finding good hiding spaces," the Hufflepuff added, and finally lowered his hand, giving a firm nod. Yep. Solid plan from this kid.

Huh.

Cat Professor.......

Grabbing the name tag as it floated by Kyroh quickly grabbed it because thinking about writing your name made more much sense than thinking about the cat turning Professor. He probably did that on PURPOSE too to hurt their brains.

Bleu smiled as the cat turned into their professor. She quickly wrote her name on her name tag.

Quote:
W. Bleu Rawley
"Professor I have an apple for you as well." She held out the apple for him to take.

She considered the question and thought about what she would do. "I would either do an immobilization spell or a spell to shrink the attacker and trap it." She thought that would be reasonable enough. Especially if the attacker were say a magical beast.

Bianca narrowed her eyes at the girl in front of her and sighed before paying attention to other things. Well then, go ahead and block the view of the cat. The Gryffindor took out a quill, ink and a notebook and just prepared herself for class. It was going to be OWLs later after all.

She supposed it was a good thing she didn't sit at the cat table though cause BAM.

That was not a cat. It was professor McHandsome. SWOOON. Well wasn't he an attractive person AND kitty. Heh. She found herself paying a surprising amount of attention to what the man was actually saying. She printed onto the name tag that had landed onto the desk...

Quote:
Queen Beyonce's Descendant
Bianca Evelyn Caruso
Given she had to print that top line super small but it was important others knew it. She then stuck it onto her uniform and resumed paying attention the hot professor. What do you do when you find yourself being attacked by something bigger than you?

Uh... Raising her hand, she answered the question. "You cut a few feet from their height till they're smaller than you."

Duh.

Eden's greeting on his other side, however, was a complete contrast, and Archie couldn't help but grin in return. "It's been LITERALLY forever," Archie replied, with a laugh. A whole...hour, perhaps less? "I'll let you know when it's started, I think," he replied to her next question. "Charms wasn't my strong point last year, but I think sandwiched between you two I can perhaps allow myself to be more optimistic."

Which reminded him...he should introduce them. "Si, Eden....Eden, Si." Now, where was the Professor?


Hehehe. She was glad he had a nice sense of humor, it was. Eden ruffled his hair playfully and nodded. "It was...not strong or weak for me, but I got an OWL in it." She grinned. She had somewhat SURPRISED about that one.

Leaning over, looking past Archie to the Gryffindor boy she had seen around sometimes--she smiled and gave a little wave. "Hi, Silas..." she nodded at him and sat back straight. Sigh.

Where was the....professor? IT was nearing nine. And she would HATE to have the professor be LATE--if HE was late, why couldn't THEY be late, ya' know? Rude. RUDE rude. Eden was never always on time! Manners. She watched as the cat suddenly hopped down--and she followed with her gaze it's flitting tail all the way to the back of the room--

WEIHWIRHIRGHIEGHVBGBV

THE CAT. WAS. A MAN. OH MY. EDEN HAD ONLY EVER WITNESSED A MAN TURNING INTO AN ANIMAL ONCE IN HER LIFE AND IT WAS....SO. FREAKIN' COOL.

And his face...

EDEN LIKED HIS FACE. Oh my. She stared at him--gaped, more like--as he walked to the front and almost died. Almost. Died. SWOOOOOOON. And when he spoke--oh my. Eden had found her new Walton, she had. She siiiighed dreamily and leaned against her palm, resting her elbow on her desk. Right--words--he was talking--what was he saying, even?

Charms. This was Charms class.

"Um--" she raised her hand. "I...would start by punching whoever attacked me. Maybe even...kicking." In..places. Eden was such a lovely soul....and what--everyone had brought APPLES? Eden--well. Eden hadn't read the rules for the class so...

OOPS? She noticed people doing their name tags and quickly scribbled her name on hers. Merlin. MERLIN. This was going to be a tense class. She already felt squirmy from nerves...

Heheheehe.

The professor was handsome. And she could tell that better now that
A) He was closer than he had been at the feast
and
B) He was a human. (P.S. Animagi are very cool. Ahem.)

The brunette unpacked her bag and got her desk set up by her standards; Ink and quill in the right upper corner of the desk, textbook on the left and parchment in the middle. She dipped her quill in the ink and neatly & in loopy handwriting, wrote her name before sticking it on her robes.

There.

But now...

What would she do?

She glanced around at the other students as they exchanged answers. Was it certainly a creature? It was anything though, wasn't it? He didn't exactly specify how it was on the attack either... So... it depends.

Unknowingly taking Dima's lead, she kept quiet.

Wait, wait, wait, so where did the cat go? Kate looked around the room but only saw the professor stroll into the room and get straight to the gist of things. So this was her Charms professor. Quiggy? Quiggley? Quibblers? Something like that. Quiggley, she thought she understood. Anyway...

Kate hadn't expected him to dive straight in with a question, but she was glad he did. Giving her own opinion was something she was good at, and it was at least something she could feel successful doing. It wasn't easy being one the small ones in the bunch. Also, what was the deal with apples? Had Kate missed some announcement somewhere?

Kate accepted the name tag the professor had passed out and wrote her name on it with her quill.

Kate Addison

So about that question. Kate thought about it, and while she did that, she pictured herself being attacked by something bigger than her. Finally, she raised her hand. "I think the first thing I'd do is see if I could quickly figure out what that big something is, because if it's just a curtain flapping in the breeze, then I'd simply step away," she said. No biggie there, and he technically hadn't said what the big something was. "Now if it's a real threat? I've also heard there's charms to make bigger things much smaller. Imagine a grindylow being the size of an ant!"

Apples? Was there some memo he didn't get? Where they supposed to bring him apples? No one told him. Then again, being a Ravenclaw, it was probably stereotypical of him to have brought one. Everyone looked at the Ravenclaws like they were the smart ones. Well, they were, but that wasn't the point. What if he wasn't smart? What if he didn't belong in Ravenclaw? He was using his mind like both a Slytherin and a Gryffindor. Which wasn't going to make his mother proud. So he was making an effort to be more like a Ravenclaw.

When the name tag got to him, he wrote his name on it, and stuck it on his robes. Just like everyone else. He wasn't too happy about it, but he did it. The professor didn't need to know his name. With the trouble Austin had gotten in so far, the professor would learn it soon enough.

Now that he'd made up his mind, he darted to the back of the room where the door stood open. Class was about to begin so...in one fluid movement, the cat stretched and grew and changed until it took on the form of a man. Now back to normal, the Professor gave another lazy stretch and a small yawn before he shut the door with a soft click. Granted, it wasn't locked locked, and late comers could still shove it open if they wanted to enter but he didn't want them getting the idea that they were early and welcomed.

Ahem. With that taken care of, Maddox made his way back to the front of the room, introducing himself as he did. "Good morning, glad you all managed to make it on time with no complaints about getting lost on the way." If they'd been lost, they certainly hadn't said and he was glad for that. The man wasn't here to listen to their problems. That required some deep digging for a sympathy tree and Merlin knew those were a lot of effort to grow. "Most of you don't know, but I am Professor Quigley and I'll be taking over the responsibility of teaching you lot Charms." The chalk got busy, writing his name at a moderate size on the board even as he spoke. "These are for you." He said sending name tags floating down to each desk. "I'll need you to write your names on them then stick it to your uniforms."

He'd learn the names...eventually...at some point...you know how it is.

While they were at that, he leaned leisurely against his desk and reached for one of his apples. Crunch. Mmm, this was real juicy. "I'd also like that thank those of you who got me apples. They're much appreciated." Which reminded him; selfish Hufflepuffs. "I trust the others of you with apples also meant them for me?" He might have been giving a somewhat pointed look but really, really, it was either that or they were breaking rules.

"Now then, before we get into the lesson, I have one simple question to ask." Ridiculously simple. "What do you do when you find yourself being attacked by something bigger than you?" Anyone could answer it; didn't even need a text book.


Class has officially begun, please do not post your charrie arriving after this point unless you're prepared for the IC consequences ^^ I'll post again in maybe another 10-12 hrs



Oliver's nervousness quickly turned into excitement when he saw the cat everyone was obsessing over run off and turn into the professor. HOW COOL WAS THAT?!?!

It was like he had never seen magic before but today was the first day of class and he was already seeing a cat turn into a person?? Clearly, the rest of the day was going to be great. As long as he didn't keep slamming his bag on desks.

Dipping his quill into green ink, he contemplated which name to write onto the nametag and then quickly wrote:

Quote:
Oliver Kyle
(Ollie)
He figured professors were allowed to call him by his full name because they were adults and they were to be respected. Same reason his mum and Jon could call him Oliver. However, Ollie hoped the professor didn't have a reason to say his name too much.

He heard a few of the other student's answers and decided it would be good for him to participate. Raising his hand, he said, "When I'm scared, I run away.....well....u-unless I'm being Superman..." because being Ollie and being Superman were completely different. "Then I just go right up to the scary thing and take care of business." Mhm. Superman was courageous, Ollie not so much.
