Due to the Weasley Swamp having now overtaken the middle of the first floor corridor, it is nearly impossible to get to class without getting wet. But Professor Glendower had come up with an ingenious idea to save her students from having to dive in! She was able to construct and duplicate rafts and oars to help get the students of Hogwarts from one side of the corridor to the next - namely to her classroom! They are stacked along one side of the swamp as you get to it and there is enough for everyone to get across and go to class. Just leave them at the other side so you can get back across when class is over.
Once you arrive at the classroom door you are greeted with the large sign that hangs outside - one that a returning student probably was already expecting.

Make an Entrance
Respectfully
As you enter the room, you may become increasingly aware of the soft, yet upbeat music playing that the professor is also singing along to as she looks over her notes at her podium. Come on in and take a seat.. class will begin shortly!
OOC - The swamp isn't that deep - only about waist-high - no drowning or serious injury, please. But it does block the way to class, so rafts are your best bet

Luckily for Kate, it didn't take long for her to find at least one person to work with. She smiled as Margo scooted up beside her. "Hey, Margo," she said. She remembered the girl's name from the Cartography Club. "I bet we can come up with some awesome ideas!" So in other words, partners it was! "Should we wait and see if anybody else wants to join?" No sooner than the question had left her mouth, it was answered by two older girls. Ohh, they needed some older students to work with, too!
"Hey, Norah," Kate responded. "Third year? That's awesome. Margo and I could use someone a little older to work with." She nodded. "I love glitter! Especially pink glitter." Then there was a Gryffindor girl who wanted in, too. "Of course it is," she said. She gestured for both Norah and the Gryffindor girl to take a seat. "I'm Kate," she said, because calling her 'The Ravenclaw Girl' probably wouldn't sound too good.
"So what are your ideas?" she asked everyone. "New house, no new house, or no houses at all?" Because they sort of, kind of, maybe had to agree on that one. "I'm kind of leaning toward new house or just keeping the four regular houses." Definitely none of this 'no houses at all'.

"I like glitter!" Margo added to the girl she had never met before. But there were more important tasks at hand. "So what do you guys think?" Margo asked her group, but then trailed off Kate had beaten her to the punch, that was okay. Her own thoughts were leaning toward no house, or keeping just the original four, but she could probably be persuaded to change her mind. She wasn't completely sold on it yet. "I'm kind of one the boat of no new house, but I could change my mind." Margo stated.
A GROUP. SHE HAD ONE. Norah grinned at the younger girls and took a seat next to the girl called Kate. Two whole firsties, AND they liked glitter! Ooh, and Emmylou. She was with Kace a lot, yeah? Sure she could trust the other Puffer's judgment--Kace was probably the nicest in the entire universe, after all--she beamed at the older girl as well and gave a little wave. Hi, people hiii.
Tilting her head to one side, the third year kicked her feet under the table as she listened to Margo and Kate give their opinions. Oh. No houses at all? But, that wasn't going to be much fun, was it? Would she still get to color stuff? She bit her lip and thought for a moment or five before making a decision and beginning to say slowly, "Well, sometimes I think no houses is a good idea." She paused to nod and smile at Margo, because everybody's ideas were super important, y'know. "But I think it'd be kinda fun to create a house." And it could be based on ANYTHING! She the only one who thought that was supermegacool, right? The Puffer shrugged before adding, "I'm fine with anything, though!" As long as there was glitter involved. Because reasons.

Adi was totalllllly fine working by himself but a group was even more fun. Especially if he had the three persons who were closest to him. "Hey, guys.'' Adi was trying to get the attention of Benny, AJ and Angel. "Want to work with me?''
While he waited for a reply, the Puffer settled on trying to decide which option he would like to do. He really liked the idea of creating a new House. "Don't you think we could come up with some fun traits for a new House?" Realising that he had spoken out loud, he glanced at his friends. Had they decided to join him as yet? He wouldn't mind going with the other idea if they wanted to though.

Moving to sit on her knees on her seat Hady let her attention slip from the Professor to everyone else in the room when they were told to break into groups. Scanning of everyone she checked to see who would be best to work with, who she wanted to work, who might might to work with her and well who still needed a group to work with. Lots to consider there.
So far it seemed like no one really broke off into groups yet. Remaining where she was she pulled the hair tie loose from her hair and quietly fixed her hair into a braid while she thought about who she'd like in her group. Or at least until she was called over by someone to form a group. Either would work really.

But he looked around.. He'd so partners if the people wanted. If not...he'd work by himself. Honestly, he was content that way.
She hadn’t bothered to participate in the discussion. More because Brooklyn hadn’t really had any reason to think about the founders of Hogwarts than anything else. That was more her sister’s thing, wanting to know all the stories about Hogwarts. All she cared about was power, and respect of course. Maybe a little fear was okay too. Either way, she hadn’t spoken during the discussion, but she’d listened.
She’d listened all the way up to the point where Professor Glendower had said they were going to come up with either their own house or decide to squish all the houses together into one house. That there needed to be a presentation, and she’d narrowed her eyes. Working by herself would have been okay, except she didn’t really feel like doing all the work by herself. That was when she’d noticed Hady kneeling on her seat looking around, and she’d sort of made a beeline for her. She could work with Hady, she’d worked with her lots of times before. “Want to pair up?,” she asked, stopping near her housemate’s seat. Of course, it wasn’t really a question, but Brooklyn could play along if she had to. With Hady, anyway. She trusted Hady not to abandon her.
Oh, and that older Slytherin boy could join them too. She glanced his way just to let him know it was allowed. The more the merrier when it came to having to actually present something to the class.

Pretty Girls Only (So says Aegis) but he wants you ZANDER! (Ari!)
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Cool stories Bros. Aegis especially raised his eyebrows to Zander's and Agatha's two opposite ends of the spectrum, and yet he noted from the start of the year they were totally hitting it off. NOW the OLD Aegis would have hexed Zander for making a move on his Queen, but the NEW Aegis was different and giving Agatha the space. Still, if Zander did anything stupid Aegis would be the first to tell him. He even grinned when the Professor agreed that Chivalrous men belonged in Gryffindor...though it did make him wonder jus how did his GeeGee get sorted in this House? Was she like Zahra? or more like Puck, or Cinna? From what he could remember of her stories she was...nooooo...maybe she was just becoming senile and telling whatever she thought.
So they had to partner up and come up with a New Story about the Founders it sounded like...one of those Alternate Universe kind of things that Aegis read about in Oakey's Comics...before ruining them. He eyed Zander. stood up from his chair and moved over to where the Prefect was. "Hello, Partner." Aegis had an evil grin on his face, but maybe he just really wanted to hang out with him more....WHO KNEW!?!

Working the stem of a flower into the braid in her hair Hady then finished it off with a green hair tie at the bottom. Lifting her gaze a familiar someone (Brooklyn) came to stand by her she smirked slightly. "Yeah." She replied simply with a tiny nod. When it can to working with Brooklyn she knew they'd get the job done and she never had to explain herself. Two very important things.
Seeing Brooklyn glance at the older boy from their house she figured he be joining them as well. That was all fine and dandy with her, though her eyes once more scanned around the room as if she was looking for someone else. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't, one wouldn't really know unless they were her.
Shifting her attention back over to her partner she asked the obvious question. "Do we want to make up a new house or not have houses?" Cause that was what this activity depending on right? Their choice.

Okay, so... the whole THINKING about this stuff was okay, but he didn't see how speculating about things was history, this magical history thing was shaping up to be NOTHING like muggle history at all. All those skills he was told would be transferable ... just were not. OH WELL.
But ugh... WHY did they have to do group work? And WHYYYY did they have to present and stuff? Not cool.
He was kinda leaning toward creating his own House thing, and maybe just doing it by himself... it seemed to him as though everyone else was already in a group and working.
...
Stupid History.

Benny liked option one...creating a new Hogwarts house from an original Founder. That was what he was going to do. He looked up as Adi got his attention, listening to his friend's own suggestion. The four of them working together? "Sure," he agreed with a nod. Angel was down with it too. When had they managed to do that before? Usually they wound up split in some way either in pairs by choice or forced apart by guidelines put in place by a professor.
Pulled apart by house...ironically enough.
And look, bestie had picked the same option for the project as he had. Brain twins! "I certainly think we can," he said, adding his two cents. Just had to think of where to start. What trait would be good for a fifth house? Something that would separate it from the others. Benny's mind was a-thinking.

Awesomee! Adi had gotten people to work with. "So we all agree to the first option?" he asked, just to be sure they were on the same page. "Should we come up with the traits first then based off those we give the House a name to match them?" Just his suggestion here, guys. Feel free to disagree. That was the reason he was asking before he went ahead with anything. "Okay, I was thinking that this House would have the people who are fun. Like as in REALLY fun.'' Eyes on you, AJ. "They like to have fun put still work hard and are even super competitive.'' He paused so the friends could add their thoughts.
Oh yeah. He had another question. "How should we present our ideas? Poem? Just talking about it? Singing? If you guys go with that we'll all have to sing.'' Yep, you too, Dragon.

Angel looked at Adi and Benny. "Yeah I think we all should sing, it would be amazing if we all did." Angel totally wanted to see Benny sing she thought it would be right.
Angel suddenly had a great idea. "I think that the girls should act diva like whilst the guys act all posh like." Angel thought it would be amazing if they had a house like that. "So all music stars and film stars should be in this great house." Angel giggled, "I can give you some diva advice if you want." Angel would show them how to be a diva.

Zander was still a bit asdfasdf about the whole House thing because it was just a really touchy subject, okay? Like. REALLY. SO he didn't jump right up to go in search of a partner, but instead just watched as everyone else did so. That's when he noticed Aegis. Aegis Dane who just so happened to be staring right at him with the most evil grin ever.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Anyone but Aegis. ANYONE PLEASE? The Fifth Year quickly broke eye contact in hopes that Aegis wouldn't be doing what Zander was sure he was doing. But of course, this hope was completely futile because Aegis was currently making his way right over-- NO! The Gryffindor kept his eyes locked on the top of his desk, though was reluctantly forced to look up at the sound of the familiar voice.... 'Hello Partner????' But But BUT he didn't even ask!?
if it hadn't been for the fact that everyone else had already started pairing up, Zander wouldn't have agreed. But unfortunately, "Hello, Aegis." A look of ultimate plea in his eyes too because Merlin, please tame Aegis for this one lesson. PLEASE? Ahem. He looked around the room desperately hoping that someone else would decide to tag along with them. He couldn't deal with Aegis on his own. It was just too much. TOO MUCH! He had only just gotten his robes properly dried and everything. "So... Uh... You got any ideas?"
SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ZANDER ADAIR, SOS.

History of Magic was always so much fun to her because they pretty much got to play. Plus, they could do practically anything they wanted to do as long as they didn't break any rules. Pretty sweet, huh? It was much better than learning about old stuff in a textbook.
Adi was already getting her attention to join his group. You didn't have to ask her twice. "I'm in." It had been while since all four of them had worked together so it would be nice. She still hadn't had a chance to really talk to Angel about everything that happened, but she would be able to soon hopefully. She needed to know how she felt. This was not the time or place though.
"I'm cool with making up a whole new house." It was the option she would have went with even if she ended up working on her own. "I like the idea of this being the fun house. Maybe like the house of the goof offs." Only there was so much more to it than that. "Like, the students in that house don't necessarily get in trouble, but they know how to have a good time." The best house ever. The house that she would totally get placed in if it were real.
"No way I am being a diva." Just putting that out there. "Poems are laaame." This was one of the few classes that they would be able to get loud and have fun so why not do that? "How about we act a skit out? Like each of us can show a different personality trait?" Yes, she was very opinionated, but she still wanted everybody to be happy with what they were doing.

AJ followed along with the invitation, making the quartet of friends at full strength for the class project. Awesome. Benny listened as they others expressed ideas on the traits that they could come up with. Fun and competitive...working hard...but goofing off. "How about a balance? Members of this house are good with being responsible but dont it bother their fun free time."
Oh right....they had to present it to the others in the classroom.
Ackward turtle. Or rather Dragon.
Benny might have prefered speaking or even reading a poem but that seemed to be out with the rest of the group. Which left singing or acting whatever they came up with in front of the entire class which made the Gryffindor uncomfortable. And it was two votes for singing which made it worse. "Can I just stand there with you guys?" he suggested, trying to think of the least awkward idea for him to do. "Be set dressing or show of support or something."

Notes. Adi needed to make notes. He adjusted his specs before going ahead to do that. "Right. So far we've got fun loving, hardworking... goal oriented?'' he suggested in response to Angel's suggestion. But then Benny's suggestion would tie in brilliantly with this! "Super fun loving yet hard working enough not to let it mess with their goals in life,'' the Puffer said, putting all the suggestions together.
Soooo... his poor bestie was uncomfortable with the whole presentation thing. Of course. Benny was a shy dude. "We should make you sing, Benny.'' Hehe. Just kidding. But he really did think that if putting his friend in the spotlight a little more, he'd be more confident and stuff about himself. Adi thought for a moment, considering all the presentation ideas, fidgeting with his specs as he did so.
"Hey!'' he said suddenly. "I have an idea. What if AJ, Angel and I do act out the House's traits but Benny fill in as the mascot?" He looked at the three of them. What did they think? And more importantly, would his bestie be okay with that? Also... "We'll need a House name- something more macho, Angel- and the mascot.'' An animal most likely so that it fit with the other four mascots.

It seemed that Janelle had waited a little too long to look for a partner. Everyone one seemed to have formed their groups very quickly and she was on the verge of working alone. That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but Janelle would rather work with others........meeting new people and making friends was her thing. She was about to start thinking of her own plan when she saw two older boys who seemed to be partnering up. After a brief pause, she thought, why not?
The first year walked over to the boys and made her pitch. "Hi, I'm Janelle. You wouldn't happen to be looking for a little sunshine to brighten your group , would you? 'Cause if you are.......I'm your girl. Then she turned on her killer smile and crossed her fingers." How could they possibly resist?

So AJ was going to join them, she was glad about that. She had totally missed her but she could talk to her sister one day soon hopefully a lot had happened this term she had a lot to talk to her sister about but she would find things out later because this isn't the place.
Angel smiled as she looked at the gang. "I can act all diva like and posh like if no one else wants to." Angel had been hoping her sister would get involved with her but she seemed to not like the idea. "Everyone has to have a little bit of diva in them you know."
Angel then listened to Adi and Benny. "No you can't Benny, you have to sing as well. Otherwise it would be the same." Angel really wanted to hear her boyfriend sing, she hadn't ever heard him sing. "I'll be your back-up dance if you sing." Angel would love to try and be a back up dancer.
Angel sighed, so Divalious was out then, which had been her first idea. "How about Dragon’s Lair, Infinity or Goldeneye?" Angel wasn't sure but they were the only names she could think of.

It seemed like for the most part everybody was in agreement which made for better working conditions. AJ was pretty go with the flow. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do besides lame things. No thank you. Oh, and she didn't want to be a diva. How did you do that exactly? Walk around in heels while keeping your face in a compact mirror? Occasionally flip your hair? Ummm... no thank you.
Ah, Benny. It was hard for AJ to remember that not everybody was like her. Some people actually didn't care to speak and act out things in front of others. She couldn't understand why, but who was she to judge? Before AJ could come up with a suggestion, Adi came through. "Oh, that sounds perfect! Benny, you will make an awesome mascot." If he thought he was just going to be able to stand there he was wrong. "You can wrap all of our traits." What exactly though? "I got it. We can play leap frog over you, and you don't have to leap too... you can just be the frog." Look how she was being all compromising. "And then you can hold a book or something to show that you are goal oriented." And so on and so forth. "Can I play the fun loving one?" Because she wouldn't even have to act for that part.
Her mind was going back to the mascot thing. What could Benny be? DUH. AJ leaped up on her table, and looked at Benny while beaming from ear to ear.
"Oh my gosh... you can be a UNICORN!!!"
It couldn't be any more perfect. Planning done. Benny was a unicorn and AJ would be AJ. Everybody was welcome.

Notes. Adi needed to make notes. He adjusted his specs before going ahead to do that. "Right. So far we've got fun loving, hardworking... goal oriented?'' he suggested in response to Angel's suggestion. But then Benny's suggestion would tie in brilliantly with this! "Super fun loving yet hard working enough not to let it mess with their goals in life,'' the Puffer said, putting all the suggestions together.
Soooo... his poor bestie was uncomfortable with the whole presentation thing. Of course. Benny was a shy dude. "We should make you sing, Benny.'' Hehe. Just kidding. But he really did think that if putting his friend in the spotlight a little more, he'd be more confident and stuff about himself. Adi thought for a moment, considering all the presentation ideas, fidgeting with his specs as he did so.
"Hey!'' he said suddenly. "I have an idea. What if AJ, Angel and I do act out the House's traits but Benny fill in as the mascot?" He looked at the three of them. What did they think? And more importantly, would his bestie be okay with that? Also... "We'll need a House name- something more macho, Angel- and the mascot.'' An animal most likely so that it fit with the other four mascots.

Angel smiled as she looked at the gang. "I can act all diva like and posh like if no one else wants to." Angel had been hoping her sister would get involved with her but she seemed to not like the idea. "Everyone has to have a little bit of diva in them you know."
Angel then listened to Adi and Benny. "No you can't Benny, you have to sing as well. Otherwise it would be the same." Angel really wanted to hear her boyfriend sing, she hadn't ever heard him sing. "I'll be your back-up dance if you sing." Angel would love to try and be a back up dancer.
Angel sighed, so Divalious was out then, which had been her first idea. "How about Dragon’s Lair, Infinity or Goldeneye?" Angel wasn't sure but they were the only names she could think of.

It couldn't be any more perfect. Planning done. Benny was a unicorn and AJ would be AJ. Everybody was welcome.
Benny nodded as Adi mentioned all then traits they as a whole had suggested, the Gryffindor adding them to his own notes for reference. If they could somehow fit it all together in a group production and description then it would totally work out in the end. He should probably leave that up to Adi and Angel the more creative of the group as evident by the fact that they seemed to be the one's with the detailed ideas. Not that AJ and he were slacking in anyway.
He eyed his bestie as he mentioned making him sing, involuntarily taking a mini-step back from the Hufflepuff. Making him sing reminded him of that spell they had each worked on each other during dueling. The fifth year Gryffindor soooo didn't want that to happen. As much as his best friend and his girlfriend wanted him to sing.
Nuh uh...no singing dragon. He shook his head negatively for emphasis.
Not that the next suggestion was any better. "A mascot?" he questioned looking between the other three in the group. Well he supposed that was his way of being in the background. Except the mascots of the other houses were animals so wouldn't that mean their mascot should be one too? And he was to BE that animal? Or at least try to look like it. As for suggestions, there was the frog which Benny was debating until AJ went crazy with another idea.
A unicorn.
Of course she would suggest it, being how facinated and obsessed with them she was. And if one thought about it, they could seem kinda diva-ish to satisfy Angel's mood. So that was a win-win...right?
"I...um...guess I can be a unicorn," he finally answered, giving in yet bashful about the whole thing. Please don't make it too bad. Please don't make him regret the decision to agree to the plan. Trying to distract himself from those thoughts, Benny switched his focus to their name. "Maybe our name should start with an A since we all have a name starting with A and we are technically the founders."

As soon as Lux came over, he noticed Bleu was making her way over. Aahh it was Dylan's crush, he thought they were adorable together. "Hey Bleu!" he greeted her. "We do not mind a fourth at all! Come on and join us. Plus we need more people to create our house anyways.." he winked. This was going to be a fun group to work with.
"Thanks, Kace." Bleu gave him a gentle smile. This seemed like it was going to be a really fun activity. She couldnt wait to hear Kace, Puck, and Lux's ideas.
"Before we create a new house we need to look at the characteristics that go with the current houses and decide what kind of characteristics we want our house to have. I think that would be the best way to start." Her cheeks flushed a little. She wasn't used to being in groups for class work. Hopefully they wouldn't mind her suggestion.

"Hey guys...would you mind a fourth? Unless of course you would prefer only 3 in your group. I totally understand if that's what you would prefer." She didn't want to be bothersome to anyone. These 3 were good friends and she didn't want to interrupt them.

It was a relief that she was allowed into the group. Lux hadn't been sure if Kace and Puck wanted to be partners or not, though they were always open to have others work with them because they were so friendly and lovely. "Awesome! We will have loads of fun!" That was for sure, and Bleu joined them which was great because more the merrier. "We love working with you!" she said happily.
Now they were a team of Gryffinpuffs though Puck was outnumbered; maybe she made the total more fair though since she was an Honorary Lion. Hehe.
Bleu's idea was really good and Lux nodded. "Great idea. Well, Hufflepuff can be described by hard work, fairness, and loyalty, I would say." Instead of listing all of the Houses, she would just focus on hers and be more fair. She really wanted to describe Gryffindor too though.
She waited for her teammates to share their ideas.
A GROUP. SHE HAD ONE. Norah grinned at the younger girls and took a seat next to the girl called Kate. Two whole firsties, AND they liked glitter! Ooh, and Emmylou. She was with Kace a lot, yeah? Sure she could trust the other Puffer's judgment--Kace was probably the nicest in the entire universe, after all--she beamed at the older girl as well and gave a little wave. Hi, people hiii.
Tilting her head to one side, the third year kicked her feet under the table as she listened to Margo and Kate give their opinions. Oh. No houses at all? But, that wasn't going to be much fun, was it? Would she still get to color stuff? She bit her lip and thought for a moment or five before making a decision and beginning to say slowly, "Well, sometimes I think no houses is a good idea." She paused to nod and smile at Margo, because everybody's ideas were super important, y'know. "But I think it'd be kinda fun to create a house." And it could be based on ANYTHING! She the only one who thought that was supermegacool, right? The Puffer shrugged before adding, "I'm fine with anything, though!" As long as there was glitter involved. Because reasons.

"I like glitter!" Margo added to the girl she had never met before. But there were more important tasks at hand. "So what do you guys think?" Margo asked her group, but then trailed off Kate had beaten her to the punch, that was okay. Her own thoughts were leaning toward no house, or keeping just the original four, but she could probably be persuaded to change her mind. She wasn't completely sold on it yet. "I'm kind of one the boat of no new house, but I could change my mind." Margo stated.

Luckily for Kate, it didn't take long for her to find at least one person to work with. She smiled as Margo scooted up beside her. "Hey, Margo," she said. She remembered the girl's name from the Cartography Club. "I bet we can come up with some awesome ideas!" So in other words, partners it was! "Should we wait and see if anybody else wants to join?" No sooner than the question had left her mouth, it was answered by two older girls. Ohh, they needed some older students to work with, too!
"Hey, Norah," Kate responded. "Third year? That's awesome. Margo and I could use someone a little older to work with." She nodded. "I love glitter! Especially pink glitter." Then there was a Gryffindor girl who wanted in, too. "Of course it is," she said. She gestured for both Norah and the Gryffindor girl to take a seat. "I'm Kate," she said, because calling her 'The Ravenclaw Girl' probably wouldn't sound too good.
"So what are your ideas?" she asked everyone. "New house, no new house, or no houses at all?" Because they sort of, kind of, maybe had to agree on that one. "I'm kind of leaning toward new house or just keeping the four regular houses." Definitely none of this 'no houses at all'.
GLITTER? GLIIIIITTTER!
"I really love glitter." The southerner said. "Purple glitter is my favorite." The Gryffindor really loved the thought of having glitter in their group project. Emmylou smiled brightly at all of them. "I'm Emmylou, you can call me Emmy if you want." So what were they going to do for their project thingy. Hmmm...she had to think about the for a moment or two. "I think new house because having houses would be better than nothing but there is a problem." She paused trying to figure out if the way she had it worded in her head would work. "How would we or they sort the students into these new houses without a sorting hat?" Were sorting hats really easy to make or purchase. But didn't the houses need names?

Though she did vaguely wonder if she would still feel the same if she was in a different house, one that maybe she didn’t want to be sorted into. “I think that is a wonderful attitude to have. Perhaps people in the same house have some similarities, but no, you are right. It is not at all meant to be a limitation or measure of what one has versus what they don’t.” She hoped more could see things that way as they did have separate houses whether they liked it or not. It was life at Hogwarts.
And now, activity time! "Ok! So let's have a little fun with some of the thoughts we've generated. I'd like you to break up into small groups and come up with a presentation for one of the following:
Either create a new house for Hogwarts - let's say that there was a secret founder of Hogwarts and a new house was created in their honor. What sorts of traits or what types of personalities would get sorted there?
Or maybe you think that there might have been no houses at Hogwarts had the founders been more agreeable. How would that change the dynamics of the student body? We have different animals, different colors, different mottos for each of the houses.. what would it be if there was just one unified "house"?
Come up with a way to present an idea for your choice. Maybe come up with a new song that describes the House or lack of, a skit that shows some sort of interaction, or even a craft that conveys your ideas. Or just come up and talk about your views if you're not feeling the creative bug today." But boo, that wasn't as fun. She pointed to the box full of craft supplies at the back of the room that she had brought over from next door as well as the usual prop boxes that were always back there. There might be a pair of foam swords in there to.. just saying. "Ok, let's get started!"
OOC - You can do this in groups of 2, 3, 4 or just by yourself if you want. Talk to your group (or yourself) about which of the options you'd like to do as well as how to do it - or you might have to come up with some sort of compromise like the founders did. XP Come up with some sort of creative way to present your thoughts - craft, performance, just talking, etc., using whatever you can think of from her craft and prop supplies. You can do pretty much what you want within SS rules. I don't need to see any graphics if you chose to do something visual, just descriptive RPing is great. Please do all of this in at least 5 RP posts! Class will close about 10 pm EST, Friday February 6. VM me if you have questions. ^.^
Well obviously Ruby had someone to work with. Helloooooooooooo Grayson. She smiled at him and shifted her chair a little closer and touched his knee gently to get his attention.
"Sooooo do we want to create a new house, or do we want to figure out how things would be without a house system?" She didn't mind which.
"If we created a new house, most of them would probably be Hufflepuffs right? Like because any traits that aren't taken already would come under the whole 'all the rest' thing. Like you might get a few people that would've ended up in the other houses but I think it'd be like 60% Hufflepuff."

And........... there was his signature smirk.
Why?
Because he had someone to work with. And boy, was this person gonna be a great person to work with. So, of course there was smirking.
"Not entirely fussed, to be honest," he said, shrugging his shoulders, "One answer seems kinda obvious and a bit boring, unless we can expand it and the other sounds like it'll be a lot of work." They didn't have to DESIGN anything, did they? Or act? Because he wasn't gonna do that. No freaking way. "Which one do you prefer?"
Huh. "That's a good point, you know. Most of them would be, unless we figure out a completely new trait that people from the other houses have as well. Diversity and all." And there were basic lame-os in every house, frankly. If THEY could be put in their own house, that would be great. "But I think you're right. Besides, it's hard to think of another trait that's not either brave, loyal, smart or determined." Unless they had a house of hot people. Now that would be GREAT.

Ruby didn't mind if anyone else joined them, but probably the wouldn't get as much of her attention, lets face it.
It was a wonder they were on task at all, but honestly Ruby didn't mind this class as long as she didn't have to read or write things.
Hmmm. Boring versus work. "Here's the thing. If there WAS another house, I think we'd both still be in Slytherin, so its kind of like, why would we even bother to invent a house that isn't relevant to us? Choose a mascot and a name and colours and traits and everything. So maybe lets just figure out how things would be if it was a houseless system."
"I think i'm ALL of those things, for the record." Brave, loyal, smart, and determined? Totally. Plus a ton more fun things.

When it can to working with Brooklyn she knew they'd get the job done and she never had to explain herself. Two very important things.
Seeing Brooklyn glance at the older boy from their house she figured he be joining them as well. That was all fine and dandy with her, though her eyes once more scanned around the room as if she was looking for someone else. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't, one wouldn't really know unless they were her.
Shifting her attention back over to her partner she asked the obvious question. "Do we want to make up a new house or not have houses?" Cause that was what this activity depending on right? Their choice.
The reaction her question had gotten from Hady hardly surprised Brooklyn, and she’d returned the little smirk. They always worked well together. It was all a matter of understanding each other, how they worked. They could do that by now, and she’d hardly been about to make Hady have to work by herself. All that was left was seeing if the older boy was going to join them. Hady had glanced his way too, so she knew that counted as agreement as to letting him join their group. She’d glanced his way a second time just to see if he’d moved any, too, before answering any questions.
She didn’t look at him for too long, though, and turned back to Hady as the question had been asked. “Would we really want to be stuck with everyone else if we were actually in the situation?,” she asked back. There were a few people from other houses she could tolerate, but definitely not everyone. Therefore, her vote was for coming up with their own house, where they could let whoever was worthy in. Maybe it sounded too much like Slytherin, but she wasn’t thinking pureblooded, or specific traits. Well, maybe the traits thing a little, but more just people she could tolerate. Not anything else, at least not yet. That was why they were working together after all.
