Marsha had almost gotten lost - almost - but she had managed to catch Puck (the Prefect!) in the corridor and had gotten directions so that she wasn't late. YAY. The castle was just too big! It was going to take her forever to learn where all of the classrooms were so that she wouldn't have to worry about being late.

HOWEVER, she was here now and she was excited to see what they were going to learn. Properly learn! With her wand and everything. As she took her seat, she gave a shy smile to the Professor whom she had seen in the Common Room last night for the party (which had been AMAZING) and she took her seat wondering if Lance, Zak or one of her dorm-mates would join her first.

Shugging her shoulder she took up her quill and wrote her name tag out before she stuck it carefully on her jumper. Then she double-checked that it looked straight.
Looking around, she nibbled on her lip. Howarts was HUGE and she was so little, it felt like she would get trampled on... however everyone seemed lovely so far... now to see what the Professors were like.

CHARMS CHARMS CHARMS!

SHE WAS GOING TO LEARN TO USE HER WAND!!!!!!

THIS WAS SO EXCITING!!!!

Rowan almost RAN into the classroom, and skidded to a halt, then addressed the Professor.

"Hello! My name's Rusty! It's nice to meet you! I hope you're having a wonderful day!"

Right. Now she could resume looking around the room for a seat. ... OH. FRIEND!!!!!

Rusty bounced over to Marsha and took the seat next to her. "Heeeeeeyy Marsha! How cool is this! It's even better than I thought it would be. We're gonna learn magic!!" She bounced in her seat a little, bouncy bouncy bouncy, it was like she was made of rubber or something today.

Right. Name tag.

Not her real name but whatever, it was the only one she really responded to. she attached the badge to her front.

It was official. Gabriel Banner wasn't a morning person.

The struggle was exponentially real as he hauled himself down to the third floor for the first lesson of the day. Charms. Professor Quigley. See, Gabe enjoyed Professor Quigley. He was, in the Ravenclaw's HONEST opinion, one of the best professors at Hogwarts currently.

...but that was most likely due to Quigley being a guy. The lady professors were good...but Gabe remained an anxious mess around most of them. Even with the potions' help.

"Good morning, Professor." The Ravenclaw offered a small smile as he took a seat, quick to get his materials out. There was something he'd needed to speak with him about...but that could wait until after class.

The fifth year had arrived to the Charms classroom ready for today's lesson. She walked into the room, smiling in the Professor's direction. "G-Good morning, Professor.." Turning on her heels she quickly found a seat towards the middle row of desks before getting herself settled.

Picking up her quill she scribbled her name on her tag before tapping it with her wand.

Another year... another lesson.

McClay grinned, running his fingers through his messy curls, taking time to read the chalkboard, with all the insanity from previous years and crazy professors, you just never know. "Goodmorning Professor!" He greeted the man as he began walking over to a nametag filled desk. Alright, nametag time...

He filled out the respective tag, taking time before placing it to make sure he wasn't gonna stick it upside down or something, there were some serious babes in the room and he was NOT about to make a fool of himself. He then turned on his heel, making his way to his coveted spot in the middle section of desks. Not too close, not too far away.. perfection.

Ahhh yissssss

Merlin, Charms was a weird one. On one hand, it wasn't among his least favorites... And he hadn't exactly failed the OWL. But with Professor Quigley in charge and his not-so-great opinions on one Zander Adair... It was a weird one for sure.

So Zander brought THREE apples along with him today. 'Cause maybe that'd help ease things up? Maybe. He was being hopeful, okay? Sigh. "Hi, Professor I brought you some--" THUMP. And there goes the third apple. Oops. He held out the three two, plus the one that had just fallen out of his hands AHEM. "Er, I can wash this one." He found himself nervously mussing his hair. There was awkward all up in here. Someone send help.

Maybe he should've just gone to a seat? Yeah. Yeah that was for the best. Aheeeeeeem. He went and sat all the way in the FARTHEST desk from the Professor. And erm, name tag. Right. Though it was highly unlikely that Professor Q had forgotten... Zander was on the death stare list, he could tell.

Evie slowly entered the charms classroom, she had left in plenty of time in case she managed to get lost. And to be honest there was a very high possibility of that. "Hello Professor" The first year smiled at the man before moving her attention to the board behind him.

Right. Name Tag.

Quickly Evie found a seat in the third row and wrote her name on the tag. Once she had finished she pinned it to the front of her robes.

Who made sure to have class this early in the morning the day after?

Not even fixing his bed head hair, the young Gryffindor peaked into the classroom, heart thumping like a hummingbird's. First charms class ever, he was a bit nervous. Not to mention the professor teaching this lesson was apparently the one from the night before asking about... things. AND he didn't even get to sit next to Marsha. Another Gryffie was sitting next to her. What a boop. Although, seeing Evie in the third row close by, Lance slid into the empty desk nearby alllllll three Gryffindor girls.

It was all gooooood.

Quote:

Lancelot McWitty

Slapping the name tag on his chest, he reached forward and poked Marsha's shoulder, "Hey."

Natalia had hoped she would get a good night's sleep the night before and wake up early and refreshed today. But NOPE. That didn't happen. Natalia was almost sleepwalking when she strolled to an empty desk at the last row, hoping, possibly, that the professor won't noticed if she started dozing off.

Chaaaaarms.

The Lion was positive the class would be fun, but she just didn't have the energy for this right now. Natalia hoped, once again, that they wouldn't be doing a whole of practical magic for today. She didn't want to get up from her comfy seat to practice her charms skills. Nope, she didn't want that today.

Ugh, there were directions on the board.

Natalia reluctantly grabbed her quills and wrote her name (messily and lazily) on the name tag.

There. She pinned the tag (with her rather unsatisfying handwriting) onto her robe and slammed (quietly) onto the surface of the desk. Natalia didn't dare close her eyes.

Yaaaawn.

Lux was never a big fan of early classes, but at least Charms was fun. Shaking her head to get rid of the sleepiness, the redhead entered the classroom. "Morning, Professor." He looked tired himself, but that was totally understandable.

Placing a red apple on his desk, she made her way to a seat while waving to her friends. She chose a spot near Adi today. "Hey!!" she said to her friend before looking at the board. So name tags it was. Lux could do that:

Quote:

Lux Carrington

The tag was attached to her clothes and she was ready to go!

The excitement of going to hogwarts, the train ride, the sorting , the feast at the Great Hall and the after party they had in common room plus going to bed late were every some of the reasons why he hadn’t slept well over the past few day. And during summer break he could sleep in when he hadn’t slept well but now he had classes. Charms class to be exact, a subject he had been dying to go to because he was an old Charms student. Anyways, the Gryffindor wore sunglasses in an attempt to hide the bags under his eyes.

Finally finding the classroom after a twenty minute search and falling through the fake staircase with his leg and opening doors that weren’t even doors but pretended to be doors and had walls behind them instead of a corridor. He entered the classroom and immediately held up a hand in defend. “I’ll take the sunglasses off when class starts …just not now, please , thanks” He looked around to find a seat. “Oh also, good morning , sir”

He sat down and began to find his ink and quill to write down on his name tag.

Dylan walked into the classroom and beamed at the professor. Though he was a bit tired from not getting much sleep last night, he was happy to start classes and charms was a good start. "Goodmorning, Professor!" He greeted as he passed by his desk.

Now time to find his own desk to sit at. He turned to face the desks in the room, seeing that it was filling up rather quickly. He would have gotten here earlier but he had tried to get all the extra few minutes of sleep he could get... when he spotted an empty desk near the front, he took a seat and noticed the name tag in front of him. He quickly scribbled his name out on it:

Perfect. The Badger stuck it on his chest and looked up to the Professor, ready for class to begin.

Another year, more classes. Not that Brooklyn minded, especially when it was with professors who respected her. Or at least understood her, although she hadn’t forgotten Professor Quigley telling her she was casting a spell wrong that one time in a previous term. She’d just filed it away and waited to see if he’d make up for it eventually. There was time.

The early start hadn’t bothered her either, and she’d walked into the Charms classroom just as regally as ever. Everyone else could complain about lack of sleep. She’d just prove she was better. “Good morning Professor Quigley,” she said softly, as she’d passed his desk on her way to the open seat she’d claimed as soon as her blue eyes had landed on it. She’d fill out the nametag once she sat down, if it was even necessary. It shouldn’t be.

Now that he’s filled and content with breakfast, Ethan was more than happy to attend his Charms class. It helped to know too, that he did well in his exam thus the confidence in his steps as he entered the classroom. The Slytherin did not expect the brightness of the room, as he immediately winced and blinked several times to adjust his vision, until he saw the man up front. “Goodmorning Professor.” He said as he gave the professor a nod, and sat beside Josie.

There was also no need to read the instruction up front. He knows exactly what to do with them. Ethan got his quill and wrote down his name. Once done, he stuck it on his shirt, sat back and waited for the rest to arrive.

Zhenya went down to her very last first Charms class ever. First classes of each topic every year were exciting and new, and this was that time. She tried not to be sad, because she had the entire year to enjoy. And study. She would allow herself time to be sad after exams. Shaking the feeling off, she walked into the charms class, and noticed Professor Quigley was at the front. As she walked past him, though he looked tired, she stopped to say a brief hello anyway. "Hello Professor Quigley," she said quietly, "I hope your summer was nice and relaxing."

She went and found a seat somewhere in the middle, and looked to the blackboard with instructions for her name tag.
She wrote on it, and stuck it to the front of her robes, and pulled out her textbook, parchment and quill, and set them onto her desk, knowing her wand was safe inside her robes. Unfortunately she had not brought an apple in, as she had forgotten when she was packing her trunk, and she didn't yet have time to venture down to the kitchens.

Ayyyyy, Evangeline Shacklebolt.

Damien grinned as the brunette sidled into the seat next to him, wrapping a lanky arm around her petite shoulders and giving her a friendly squeeze. "Hey Gorgeous." He could call her that right? it wasn't... Flirty, was it? well, it was, but it wasn't too flirty? 'cause there was a difference, okay? It had been a long summer without his Ravenclaw friend to debate and good off with and Damien was quite content to let her sit with her head on his shoulder while they quietly soaked up each other's presence.

And even if the smell of her shampoo was distracting him, albeit, rather pleasantly. "Tired?" He asked, smiling fondly at her, his lips curving into an easy smile.

Norah swished her sleeves back an forth swish swish swish as she marched to the Charms classroom. That's right. Marched. 'Cause she was going to class with Professor Cat Man, remember? That meant being on her best behavior which meant marching because it may have taken her fourteen whole years to figure it out, but she DID know how to behave herself now and everything.

She smiled at Professor Quigley as she entered, wishing she'd brought an apple too and doing her swishy marching all the way to a desk right smack in the middle of the classroom. "Hi Professor Quigley." What'd cat people do over the summer, anyways?

CHARMS!

He had decided VERY early last term - like at the conclusion of the first ever lesson - that he LIKED Professor Quigley a lot. He was cool... even if he didn't quite understand the whole apple thing. And speaking of that apple thing, he had one, a very nice one, one that HE had hand picked from the kitchens. No blemishes, bruises, it was clean and shiny and bright bright red. Did the Professor have a preference for colour? He had never thought to ask until now... so...

"Morning Professor!" he greeted, depositing the apple, "so um... do you have a preference for these? Red? Pink? Yellow? Green? I don't eat apples much, but the green ones have a tang to them that I like." Did the man share this sentiment? Hmm???

Moving to his seat, Zeke unpacked his class things and inked his quill to write his name tag.

Quote:

ZEKE

With the tag plastered to his chest, Zeke sat attentively awaiting the lesson to begin. What fancy pants charm were they going to learn today?

Charms! Penelope loved learning new charms, and new anything, really. Entering the classroom, Penelope greeted the professor and placed an apple on his desk. "Good morning, Professor Quigley." Leaving the apple on Quigley's desk, Penelope found a seat near the front of the room. She looked up at the board and saw the instruction to write her name on a name tag.

Quote:

Penelope Wright

After writing her name on the name tag and sticking it to her robe, Penelope pulled out some parchment for taking notes and waited for the lesson to begin.

Mitchell nodded a greeting as he strolled into the classroom. "Hello Professor."

Ooh. The windows were open today. Niiiice.

He took a seat by the open window before scribbling his name on one of the tags. He then stuck it on his clothes as the board instructed.

Quote:

Mitchell Phillips

He then placed the two apples he'd brought on his desk. Now. What were they going to do with no skirts and apples?

He was going to need to have a serious talk with whoever set the class times. He understood that someone had to take the 9 am slot, what he didn't understand was why it typically seemed to be HIM. Surely there was something he was missing, someone he needed to bribe that he didn't. Only nut he imagined that wanted classes this early was Bellaire and she was in a class all to herself.

Maddox rubbed at his face, willing the last of the sleep to disappear because a glance over at the clock told him the students would be arriving any minute now.

Quite frankly, he didn't know whether or not he was looking forward to this yet but he did ask for apples so THERE was something to look forward to!

SPOILER!!: Eden

"Morning, Professor Quigggg---Quigley, Quigley." She corrected herself because her nickname in her HEAD was not one she would EVER CALL HIM ALOUD EVER. QUIGGLES. Eden just blushed and sat down because...embarrassment.

She pulled out her quill to scribble her name on the little taggy thing before ripping it off and sticking it to her robe. How cute. And....not magical. But still cute. And Eden LIKED wearing her name on her robes.

YEP. "Hope you had a great break, Professor." Because being the first one in the classroom required a tiny amount of small talk, lest awkward silence commenced. Eden didn't want that. Plus, talking to Quiggles was all right. Mhmm.

The man became just a little more alert at the sound of approaching footsteps. Were they here already? Maddox was willing to bet the first to walk in would be a Ravenclaw, it was only a shame there was no one to bet with considering Eden's entrance could have made him richer by some means or the other. Not apple richer though as the girl seemed to opt out of taking him one. Shame that. To think they'd gotten on so well, her being a fine appreciator of apples last term. Alas, all good things had to come to an end at some point.

"Good morning, Miss McGee. My break was decent I suppose...once we stopped the flooding--the kids are alive though, all good." What flooding? Don't ask him, your guess was as good as his but it seemed like the natural thing to say. "I trust you had a good summer though?"

SPOILER!!: Abby

And another Ravenclaw. He couldn't be wrong today even if he tried and the man now held a somewhat amused look as he nodded to the Fourth Year. "Good Morning Miss Valentine." The most punctual of the three sisters it would seem.

SPOILER!!: Benzi

Armed with an apple because he'd taken what Cutty had said to him very seriously, Benzi strolled in the classroom with a happy grin. "Good morning Professor! My name's Benzi, they told me you like apples?" he smiled, and produced the fruit he'd nicked at breakfast from his pocket. Yes? He did good? How does one really feed a Professor? Was he supposed to throw it at him and should 'constant vigilance'? ... That felt more like a Defence thing.

Also, hello Crazy Eyes. He sees you. You get a nod and a wink from him.

Ravenclaw number three? My, quite the chipper this one was too.

Hang on, had there been some kind of sabotage he heard nothing about? A conspiracy to ensure they were the only ones to pass their exams at the year. It wasn't as if the 'O's were limited just fyi but he would never question the twisted logic of those in blue. One might find it more convoluted than Merlin knows what.

Once the apple was produced, however, Maddox no longer cared. Nope. Wide grin firmly in place, the man nicked the apple. "They told you right, Mister Rider! Starting off class the right way. Welcome to Hogwarts." GRIN.

SPOILER!!: Benjamin

He deposited said fruit before taking claim of one of the desks at the front of the room. He needed to improve his charmswork as well so best to take a good spot.

As he took a seat, Benny took out a quill and wrote his name on the tag.
Satisfied, he stuck it to his robes as instructed before taking out some parchment for notetaking. Another school term was about to begin.

Ah, finally, someone not wearing blue--not that he had anything against Ravenclaws....oh wait...he did. What was the point of this again? Not quite sure, Maddox abandoned that thought process altogether in favour of greeting the young lion.

Oh oh oh! Apple from him too! Another one of them clearly starting the term right. "Good morning, Mister Atreyu. I like that you're keeping sharp on this." He said waving the apple once it was placed on his desk. It always did his heart good to see students walking in with them.

Gave him hope.

SPOILER!!: Hady

Entering the room silently she took in a deep breath of fresh air that flowed in through the open windows. "Good morning Professor" Hady greeted softly with a light smile as she offered a nice green apple to him. She knew of his love of apples from her previous terms so it was a given that she'd bring him one this morning. After handing over the apple she made her way to an empty desk and sat down.

Taking out her usual needed items and setting them upon her desk Hady then took her quill and quickly filled out her name tag before sticking it to her robes.

DIS ONE HAD A GREEN APPLE.

Ahem. The Charms Professor remained perfectly composed as he took the apple from the Third Year's hands. "Thank you very much, Miss Lynch and a good morning to you too." He said, returning the smile with one of his own.

Seeing the young Slytherin, he was reminded she'd wanted to spell for making rabbits. Had Bellaire taught it afterall?

SPOILER!!: Damien

Which, was actually pretty fun. "Good morning, Professor." Damien said as he walked into the class, he spotted Eden, and for a moment he considered sitting beside his ravenclaw friend, but then he remembered his talk with Phoenix and the anger and jealousy over Roria - merlin, don't think about her - filled him up. Damien cracked his jaw and took a seat some few desks away.

He picked up his quill and quickly wrote out his name.


He stuck it to the middle of his chest, like the Batman Logo, and settled into his seat, doing his best to contain his thinking. Damien almost wished he was still feeling empty because all these feels were gonna kill him.

Well that was one way to go about wearing the tag. No complaints here just a nod and some casual STARING at Mister Belfort who seemed to have a whole conversation in his head before deciding where to sit.

Eccentricity of that magnitude was to be left with the blue cloaks....who were actually at the moment overrunning his class. Coincidence? He thought not but he wouldn't say anything just yet. For now....eyes on you kid. Don't go over to the blue side, they did Arithmancy equations in their leisure time.................................unless that's what they wanted everyone to think.

Honestly his mind was all over this morning. Clearly it was too early to be teaching. "Good morning, Mister Belfort."

SPOILER!!: Sigh, no more Neil Formy/Dante

See that Professor Q. It is my real name slapped on my chest.

Maddox actually had to do a double take when this student placed his name tag. It was oddly disappointing the charade wouldn't be kept for another term at least. "Decided Neil's just not working for you anymore, Mister Barrington?"

After a whole year of calling him Formy...this was a little odd and the man didn't truly know how he felt about it. See, now he had to lean over into his class roster and change it BACK.

Students just never thought of the consequences of their actions these days. For shame.

SPOILER!!: Leah

She saw the professor at the front of the room, looking tired as usual. She had something to cheer him up! "Hi Professor Quigley," she smiled and handed him an apple. She then took a seat near the back and read the instructions on the board.

That was easy. The fifth year wrote her name on the name tag at her desk, stuck it to her uniform. Yaay, now the whole world knew her name.

Well would you look at that, another one looking excited to be at class. Leave it to the Puffers, typically bright bunch they were. One of his least disliked houses as a matter of fact. "It looks like a good morning, Miss Abbott." He commented to her skipping and general demeanor. Hopefully it was nothing in the pumpkin juice.

"And thank you." He grinned, plucking the apple from his hand. His little pile was starting to look impressive and the man was nothing if not pleased.

SPOILER!!: Noel

Noticing Benzi, the boy gave him a 'Sup?' nod before finding himself a seat and scribbling his name in a not so neat way: 'Noel Wallace'. Sticking it not so properly on his shirt, Noel just folded his arms on the desk and rested his head on them. A tiny nap would be totally okay, right? The class hadn't started yet after all.

Was it possible to look even more tired than he was? Honestly? The answer was obvious as he watched yet another Hufflepuff enter; this one without a spring in his step. Must have been a wild first night back in the Hufflepuff Common Room.

"I would suggest you sit a little closer to the front, Mister Wallace....lest you be tempted to sleep and I be tempted to wake you up."

Did he see where he was going with this?

SPOILER!!: Tia

"Morning Professor," Tia said cheerfully, as she made her way towards the front of the class. Front row seats because she needed to pay extra attention. OWLs and all. "Oh, here, just sliced these for you," the fifth year beamed as she handed him a bag of sliced apples sprinkled with cinnamon.

She then went and sat down, setting Azure in her place in the corner first before taking out her charms book, some parchment and a quill. Followed by filling out the little nametag. Silly because Quigley already knew her, but she appeased him nonetheless.

The apparently always and forever rational thinking Ravenclaw was here. He'd been wondering where she was when the first hoard of Ravenclaws made their entrances one behind the other and that question had been answered.

His brows rose when she extended her hand to offer something but within seconds he knew what it was and the smile was back on his face. "How very thoughtful of you, Miss Mancini. Is that....is that a hint of cinnamon I smell?"

No really, was it or had someone else snuck food in here while he was busy not paying attention? His nose was hardly ever wrong.

UGHHHHH. This was the worst. Pain was an illusion, he knew that, but the illusion was painful.

Not gonna lie, this kid knew how to make an entrance. When he wasn't tripping through the doorway, he was....dying...

Oh Merlin.

Maddox fidgeted uncomfortably as he watched the obviously stuffed Slytherin. What did one do at a time like this? Evacuate his stomach? Offer condolences? Advice? "Perhaps....a little less...next time, Mister Hughbert." Juuuuuuuuust a suggestion from the guy hoping he didn't lose his breakfast before the class was done considering what the activity was going to be.

Oh Merlin, oh Merlin, oh Merlin.

He saluted Professor Quigley with his own greeting,"Good morning, Professor!" He saw everyone else had already took their seats and pasting nametags on their school uniforms, he better got on with his. He found a seat near the corner where he usually sat and wasted no time taking out his handy dandy refillable ink quill from his bag. He then started to write his initials on his tag.



He liked bolding the letters in his name and so he took his time doing just that before pasting it above the Hufflepuff crest on his sweater.

It was halfway through the salute before Maddox finally recognized who this kid was--granted he didn't know him but he knew OF him thanks to one Airey Flamsteed and the Charms Professor found himself having a harder time keeping a straight face as he greeted this one. "Good morning, Mister Nicolei."

Losing points for a rock, snort, priceless.

SPOILER!!: Adi

Adi bounded into the classroom, and was slightly taken aback by its brightness. Gosh. He had NOT been prepared for that! He blinked rapidly a few times. Despite the glasses he wore, his eyes still was a tad affected by all that light. But the blinking and a few moments to gather himself seemed to have helped as his eyes adjusted.

Oh! There was the Feline man. "Hallo, good morning, Professor! Got you a little something.'' Adi placed a shiny yellow apple on the man's desk. Quigley seemed to rarely have the yellow ones. The sixth year now turned his attention to the class. So MANY students!

Benny, Tia, Noel, Leah, Dante, Abby and a few others got either grins or waves from him as he made his way towards Henric, whom he had decided to sit next to today. "Hiya, Henny. Feeling alright?" You know... had Henric gotten over his dejection for loosing the points earlier? Anywho, Adi's attention was diverted to the board. Ah, name tags.

He quickly wrote his name:



before sticking the tag to the left side of his robes.

THERE was the Hufflepuff enthusiasm Mister Wallace had been missing. Just look at the way the Prefect bounded into the room like it was nobody's business. "Good morning, Mister Rehman." He said, watching the boy place a yellow apple on his desk with a smile. It was always a happy occasion when the students actually remembered. All the more apples for him.

The Charms Professor had something more to add but he would wait, see how things went first. Perfectly chill for now.

SPOILER!!: Evie

After a big yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn, Evie walked in the class and gave Quigley a sleepy smile. "Morning, Professor. No tail today?" She LIKED it when he was in kitty form.

Looking for a spot to sit, Evie immediately gravitated toward Damien and plopped down on the seat beside him. "Hi," she said, squishing up against him and resting her head on his shoulder. Hmmmmm, could she take a nap here? Would he mind?

Eden and Benzi also got little finger-waves, but they were housemates, so she'd see them more later. Evie was still filling up her Damien quota, which was lacking due to not seeing him all summer. Her head only stayed on Damien's shoulder for a moment because Evie read the board and found directions. She wrote her name down on the tag and slapped it under the collar of her shirt. Boom. Outstanding student right here.

Ah, another that could have gone with another three hours of sleep before class. Perhaps if they all petitioned hard enough they could have Charms classes at noon. Worst case scenario, the Headmistress would be annoyed, he'd deny his involvement and they would all be locked in detention for misconduct. That didn't sound so bad. Rock the vote and all that.

Maddox smiled at the question of his tail. "Perhaps a little later on in the lesson." He suggested. Some point where he no longer needed to do that speaking thing.

Though he might get crushed then. Merlin O_O

The shoulder leaning got a stare though. She was another one that looked like she could fall asleep at any given moment. "Perhaps it's for the best you come take a seat by the front as well, Miss Shacklebolt." It was for her own good, really.

He stuck it to his shirt and glanced around the room, waiting for the class to start.

No greeting from this one? Well that was fine, one less Maddox had to greet in turn. He could have been as strict as other Professors, getting insulted by the gesture or lack there of but...that was a whole lot of effort he wasn't willing to commit to. So what if the kid didn't say 'good morning'? The world was still spinning and he still had his apples.

Meh.

So she brought one, and she was only a little pleased to see that she wasn't the only one, or even the first. Perhaps it really was a thing a few of them went along with - probably smart.

"Good morning, Professor. I've brought you an apple too." She set it on his desk next to the others then grabbed a seat in the second row from the front. She set her bag on the floor, pulling out a quill to write her name down.



Sticking it to her shirt, she then pulled out the rest of the stuff she'd need for class.

Even the new kid knew to bring him apples. What excuse did the returning ones, that didn't, have? Most likely they didn't remember...though he didn't know how something so important could be forgotten. Just didn't make sense...much like half the students he taught. In the end it all made sense afterall.

"Good morning, Miss Hensley, I appreciate you remembering." Did the others hear that? Hmmmm?

After getting his stuff set up and ready to take notes, Toby slid the blank name tag that was on his desk closer to him and wrote on the desired information, Tobias Fuller-Thompson, before sticking it on the front of his uniform.

There were a few students he knew he could count on in the apple department. Fuller-Thompson was one of them. Quite the dutiful Hufflepuff he was. "It's good seeing you too." He said, content to see the apple. A smile too. Why? He happened to like this kid. Not loud. Not obnoxious. Just simple with his love of the window and pixie furniture that Maddox would still not question. Nope.

At least something stayed in her brain.

Taking her seat, she wrote:


On her sticker and placed it right to her shirt just as instructed and then sat bouncing in her seat ready for this day.

Ah and now Miss Holiday had arrived as well. Another happy little Hufflepuff added to the bunch. He grinned at the now Second Year who offered him an apple, pleased she had actually remembered. "Thank you Miss Holiday. It will make a nice addition to the rest."

Seriously. Look at his pile. Brilliant, no?

SPOILER!!: Janelle

The room was rather crowded so Janelle sat in the first available seat. As she began to unpack her things, she noticed the name tag on her desk. She took out her quill and quickly wrote her name.


Janelle wasted no time attaching the name tag to her clothing. Then she sat back and surveyed the room. "Wonder what the Professor has in store for us today?", she thought. She guessed she'd find out soon enough.

Another little one moving up the ranks. Seemed like only yesterday she was a First Year toddling into his class all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Granted it was actually only a couple months ago but you got the idea. "Hello, Miss Guidry. I'm doing wonderfully." He admitted, glancing to his pile of apples once more. Really they were all he needed to set the right mood and he hoped the students would remember their manners this time of year so nothing would ruin it. "I trust you're well too?"

SPOILER!!: Hugo

The third year entered the room and greeted Quigley, "What's up professor?" how you doing? Had a great summer? Etc. All those questions were implied because asking them would be too much.

Taking a seat at a random desk, he took his quill and wrote down his name.

Cool.

What's up?

"The ceiling, that you know of....and a couple other things too." He said, glancing up at the ceiling and hinting at something grander than the concrete slab above. Sure the kid was shooting more for something less...literal but there was no time like the present to start dropping hints.

SPOILER!!: Grayson

Yawning, Grayson readjusted his grip on his bag as he strolled down the corridor. He had definitely NOT missed this over the holidays. In fact, he didn't miss much of the general school part either. Funny that. Trying not to think about the holidays or his comfortable bed, the Slytherin headed into the classroom, blinking slightly at the brightness of his surroundings. Merlin, Quigley, you tryna blind us all or what?

Speaking of Quigley, "Hey, Professor," he called, giving the man a smile and a 'sup nod. Did he have any apples for the guy? Nope. Completely forgotten about that so no apples for you today, sir. Instead, he was gonna walk over to his seat over there and write out a name tag for himself.


No handsome in there this time. Quigley was smart enough to know, anyways. Grayson stuck the name tag on his chest before sitting back in his seat.

Maddox watched Grayson practically drag himself into the classroom. Honestly that petition was looking better and better by the student. Did no one go to bed early anymore knowing they had early classes in the morning? He did...when he could but usually found he was too busy for that sort of thing when school was in session. Quite the shame really.

"Good morning, Mister Whitlock. Like Mister Wallace, I'll have to suggest you move to the front, for both our sakes." Safety precaution really, the Professor was being nice enough to warn him, that had to count for something, yeah?

SPOILER!!: Sophie

"Got your back, boss."

She SALUTED him, then turned to look at the faces of her classmates for the first time - lots and lots of friendly faces, all of whom got smiles of acknowledgement, but Soph gravitated toward the Tobes and slid into the open seat near him, giving HIM the biggest grin and a nudge of greeting as she did so.

When her gaze fell upon the name tag, she looked up to the board to make sure there were no tricks here and she was just supposed to write her name... and she did, after she took out all her class materials, then stuck the name tag right under her prefect badge.

ALL SET AND READY TO GO.

Haha there she was. Maddox made quite the show of looking all about her for the barrel of apples she did not possess. For her part, at least she remembered to take a green one. Some merit there. "It's a start." He quipped as he nicked the apple from her grasp with a grin. A start indeed compared to all she'd promised.

In good sport he returned the salute as she headed to a seat then the apple was tossed in with the others. They would all get the special treatment they deserved when the time came.

SPOILER!!: Angel

Angel then went and put the tag on herself this was going to be amazing and she couldn't wait for the lesson to start.

"Hello Miss Valentine. I'm surprised you didn't drag your sister along." Aubrey being the only one of the triplets missing at the lesson so far. It wasn't said in much seriousness however as everyone, by this point, should have known they were now responsible for their own actions.

SPOILER!!: Marsha

HOWEVER, she was here now and she was excited to see what they were going to learn. Properly learn! With her wand and everything. As she took her seat, she gave a shy smile to the Professor whom she had seen in the Common Room last night for the party (which had been AMAZING) and she took her seat wondering if Lance, Zak or one of her dorm-mates would join her first.

Shugging her shoulder she took up her quill and wrote her name tag out before she stuck it carefully on her jumper. Then she double-checked that it looked straight.

Looking around, she nibbled on her lip. Howarts was HUGE and she was so little, it felt like she would get trampled on... however everyone seemed lovely so far... now to see what the Professors were like.

Look, one of the overly excited little Gryffindors from the night before. Maddox noted the shy little smile and gave a nod in her direction, figuring she wasn't trying to garner much attention. If only they all started out that way; hardly saying a word, just ready to absorbed everything like sponges. That would make his job a hell of a lot easier but when was teaching ever easy?

SPOILER!!: Rusty

Rowan almost RAN into the classroom, and skidded to a halt, then addressed the Professor.

"Hello! My name's Rusty! It's nice to meet you! I hope you're having a wonderful day!"

Right. Now she could resume looking around the room for a seat. ... OH. FRIEND!!!!!

Rusty bounced over to Marsha and took the seat next to her. "Heeeeeeyy Marsha! How cool is this! It's even better than I thought it would be. We're gonna learn magic!!" She bounced in her seat a little, bouncy bouncy bouncy, it was like she was made of rubber or something today.

Right. Name tag.



Not her real name but whatever, it was the only one she really responded to. she attached the badge to her front.

Blink........................blink.

Alright, who let her into the sugar tin and more importantly, WHY? For a couple seconds, Maddox stared exceptionally wide eyed at the vastly enthusiastic First Year. She...would have no problems with the activity when it rolled around. "It's a pleasure meeting you too, Miss Fields...." He said, watching her bouncing in her seat.

Merlin, what'd they put in her pumpkin juice?? "I'm....well; concerned really." About you, but that went without saying, didn't it?

SPOILER!!: Gabe

...but that was most likely due to Quigley being a guy. The lady professors were good...but Gabe remained an anxious mess around most of them. Even with the potions' help.

"Good morning, Professor." The Ravenclaw offered a small smile as he took a seat, quick to get his materials out. There was something he'd needed to speak with him about...but that could wait until after class.

The entrance of one of the only Ravenclaws he didn't mind hadn't gone unnoticed and the man returned the smile with ease. "Good morning, Mister Banner." He looked as exhausted as the others. Was it the night before or was this 9 am thing really bothering most of them?

Picking up her quill she scribbled her name on her tag before tapping it with her wand.

"Good day, Miss Edayson." Another one that was typically quiet, not that Maddox minded, in fact he preferred them that way sometimes...depending on the situation. It could hardly be denied that they were an asset in the middle of a chaotic classroom.

McClay grinned, running his fingers through his messy curls, taking time to read the chalkboard, with all the insanity from previous years and crazy professors, you just never know. "Goodmorning Professor!" He greeted the man as he began walking over to a nametag filled desk. Alright, nametag time...

He filled out the respective tag, taking time before placing it to make sure he wasn't gonna stick it upside down or something, there were some serious babes in the room and he was NOT about to make a fool of himself. He then turned on his heel, making his way to his coveted spot in the middle section of desks. Not too close, not too far away.. perfection.

Ahhh yissssss

Just look at the confidence on this one as he practically strutted into the classroom. "Hello Mister Jackson. Good morning I take it?" Had the boy somehow gotten a hold of some Felix Felicis? It would certainly explain why he looked as if he knew something the Professor didn't but Maddox thought Ravenclaws didn't believe in frivolous things like luck. Funny that.

SPOILER!!: Zander let me love you!

So Zander brought THREE apples along with him today. 'Cause maybe that'd help ease things up? Maybe. He was being hopeful, okay? Sigh. "Hi, Professor I brought you some--" THUMP. And there goes the third apple. Oops. He held out the three two, plus the one that had just fallen out of his hands AHEM. "Er, I can wash this one." He found himself nervously mussing his hair. There was awkward all up in here. Someone send help.

Maybe he should've just gone to a seat? Yeah. Yeah that was for the best. Aheeeeeeem. He went and sat all the way in the FARTHEST desk from the Professor. And erm, name tag. Right. Though it was highly unlikely that Professor Q had forgotten... Zander was on the death stare list, he could tell.

And then there was this one...

Honestly, Maddox didn't know why he even bothered trying, just look at him--no really...look at him. Had the boy really brought THREE whole apples for him? Was this real? Dare he smile? This could be happening, Maddox Quigley was actually going to smile in approval at one Zander Adair...

...

Until he went and dropped one. It took everything in him to keep the scowl off his face but he managed. Afterall, he didn't want to dissuade this behaviour in the future. If the Gryffindor didn't think he was grateful he would probably never do this again and bottom line Maddox WAS grateful but REALLY kid? Really? "That's perfectly fine, Mister Adair." He said, placing the apples on his desk before he proceeded to stare and stare and STARE at the Prefect until he took his seat.

This kid though.

Right. Name Tag.

Quickly Evie found a seat in the third row and wrote her name on the tag. Once she had finished she pinned it to the front of her robes.

"Good morning Miss Bailey, it's nice to see you looking more awake than most." He said, glancing around the room once more. It was true, no mater how she looked, it wasn't NEARLY as bad as some of them in the room. What had they all been doing last night? He could only vouch for the lions.

Who made sure to have class this early in the morning the day after?

Not even fixing his bed head hair, the young Gryffindor peaked into the classroom, heart thumping like a hummingbird's. First charms class ever, he was a bit nervous. Not to mention the professor teaching this lesson was apparently the one from the night before asking about... things. AND he didn't even get to sit next to Marsha. Another Gryffie was sitting next to her. What a boop. Although, seeing Evie in the third row close by, Lance slid into the empty desk nearby alllllll three Gryffindor girls.

It was all gooooood.



Slapping the name tag on his chest, he reached forward and poked Marsha's shoulder, "Hey."

Heeeeeey, there was that kid that was trying to sneak food into the Common Room last night, interesting one that was...more interesting still was...his hair....

"Er...rough morning, Mister McWitty?" Or was it one of those things that if he knew about he would have to do something about it?...Because that sounded like a lot of commitment right there and Maddox was just as tired as everyone else in the room.

Perhaps it was better he not know when he really thought about it....

SPOILER!!: Nat

Chaaaaarms.

The Lion was positive the class would be fun, but she just didn't have the energy for this right now. Natalia hoped, once again, that they wouldn't be doing a whole of practical magic for today. She didn't want to get up from her comfy seat to practice her charms skills. Nope, she didn't want that today.

Ugh, there were directions on the board.

Natalia reluctantly grabbed her quills and wrote her name (messily and lazily) on the name tag.


There. She pinned the tag (with her rather unsatisfying handwriting) onto her robe and slammed (quietly) onto the surface of the desk. Natalia didn't dare close her eyes.

Something told him that by the end of all this there would be no available places up front but after seeing the entrance of this one and the way she was currently slumped over the desk, Maddox decided the sacrifice was needed. "Thank you for volunteering to occupy a seat at the front as well! This one looks nice enough." He said pointing with some amount of enthusiasm he didn't truly possess.

There would be no sleeping in his class, no matter how exhausted they all seemed to be. If he had to stand here teaching for the hour then they at least had to be awake for it.

SPOILER!!: Lux

Placing a red apple on his desk, she made her way to a seat while waving to her friends. She chose a spot near Adi today. "Hey!!" she said to her friend before looking at the board. So name tags it was. Lux could do that:

The tag was attached to her clothes and she was ready to go!

"Good morning Miss Carrington." It had been some time since he'd checked the clock and a glance back at it told him they were just about ready to begin. "Thank you for the apple." Look how lovely it was next to the others. Home where it belonged until it was finally eaten and what a brilliant moment that would be.

Finally finding the classroom after a twenty minute search and falling through the fake staircase with his leg and opening doors that weren’t even doors but pretended to be doors and had walls behind them instead of a corridor. He entered the classroom and immediately held up a hand in defend. “I’ll take the sunglasses off when class starts …just not now, please , thanks” He looked around to find a seat. “Oh also, good morning , sir”

He sat down and began to find his ink and quill to write down on his name tag.

The Charms School student! Maddox was beginning to wonder if he'd been lost on the way over despite it only being three floors separating this classroom from the Great Hall. The castle was full of secrets, you could just never be sure anymore.

Was he about to say something about the sunglasses? Probably not. He...didn't really care all that much. If he wanted to keep them it was all on him and when--not if--they broke during the activity...that would be all him too. Maddox was all for letting students learn from their own mistakes and who knew if this kid was a difficult one? He was TIRED and didn't want to deal.

Let the chips fall were they lay or whatever. Not his problem. "Good morning Mister Hyland."

Now time to find his own desk to sit at. He turned to face the desks in the room, seeing that it was filling up rather quickly. He would have gotten here earlier but he had tried to get all the extra few minutes of sleep he could get... when he spotted an empty desk near the front, he took a seat and noticed the name tag in front of him. He quickly scribbled his name out on it:


Perfect. The Badger stuck it on his chest and looked up to the Professor, ready for class to begin.

Another chipper Hufflepuff bounding in. Man, it must really have had something to do with the house...not counting Mister Wallace who despite being a Hufflepuff looked dead to the world already. "Good morning Mister Callaghan."

The early start hadn’t bothered her either, and she’d walked into the Charms classroom just as regally as ever. Everyone else could complain about lack of sleep. She’d just prove she was better. “Good morning Professor Quigley,” she said softly, as she’d passed his desk on her way to the open seat she’d claimed as soon as her blue eyes had landed on it. She’d fill out the nametag once she sat down, if it was even necessary. It shouldn’t be.

Oh look, little Miss Andrews. He liked her too, mostly for her conduct and reluctance to use too many words in his class. Those were good qualities if you asked him. "Good morning Miss Andrews. Nice seeing you again." At least she wasn't looking like she was about to pass out on the ground if no desks were available. Merlin this class.

There was also no need to read the instruction up front. He knows exactly what to do with them. Ethan got his quill and wrote down his name. Once done, he stuck it on his shirt, sat back and waited for the rest to arrive.

"Good morning Mister Mordaunt." Another promising one based on what he'd seen from his OWL results. Almost as impressive as Miss Brown's results even, though there was hardly a need to say that. The kid did brilliantly and he expected great things from him this term.

Shaking the feeling off, she walked into the charms class, and noticed Professor Quigley was at the front. As she walked past him, though he looked tired, she stopped to say a brief hello anyway. "Hello Professor Quigley," she said quietly, "I hope your summer was nice and relaxing."

She went and found a seat somewhere in the middle, and looked to the blackboard with instructions for her name tag.

She wrote on it, and stuck it to the front of her robes, and pulled out her textbook, parchment and quill, and set them onto her desk, knowing her wand was safe inside her robes. Unfortunately she had not brought an apple in, as she had forgotten when she was packing her trunk, and she didn't yet have time to venture down to the kitchens.

Ah Miss Burton. This would be her final year, correct? Before the big leap into the wider wizarding world and all it had to offer. He could remember his 7th year, how excited he was for everything outside the castle. "Good morning, Miss Burton. I had an alright summer, yes and I trust yours was good?"

At the very least she would have been off age and using magic as she pleased. That could have done wonders for anyone's summer.

She smiled at Professor Quigley as she entered, wishing she'd brought an apple too and doing her swishy marching all the way to a desk right smack in the middle of the classroom. "Hi Professor Quigley." What'd cat people do over the summer, anyways?

Hold on...haha...was Miss Kittredge...was she marching?

Maddox watched in amusement as the young Hufflepuff marched her way into the room, in fact, the amused smile was still there when he greeted her. "Good morning Miss Kittredge. New tactic to keep yourself awake?" If so, it seemed to be working and might have been exactly what many of them in the room needed...mostly because he was running out of spaces at the front...so many sleepers. This actually gave him an idea. Thank you, Nora.

Did the Professor have a preference for colour? He had never thought to ask until now... so...

"Morning Professor!" he greeted, depositing the apple, "so um... do you have a preference for these? Red? Pink? Yellow? Green? I don't eat apples much, but the green ones have a tang to them that I like." Did the man share this sentiment? Hmm???

Moving to his seat, Zeke unpacked his class things and inked his quill to write his name tag.



With the tag plastered to his chest, Zeke sat attentively awaiting the lesson to begin. What fancy pants charm were they going to learn today?

So caught up was he in his new idea that Maddox almost didn't notice Zeke's entrance...almost. Only almost because the man would notice the Gryfffindor's entrance especially--he was one of the apple regulars.

"It's funny you should ask that." He said, taking the apple and spinning it once before placing it on the table with the others. "I do think I've got a preference for the green kind." Just something about them. "But I'll never turn down an apple no matter the colour." In the end they were all brilliant for munching on.

After writing her name on the name tag and sticking it to her robe, Penelope pulled out some parchment for taking notes and waited for the lesson to begin.

The last few students were starting to trickle in, which meant it was about time to get the class started. Maddox smiled over at the newest addition, the fourth year Ravenclaw. "Good morning Miss Wright." He should have asked her to close the door behind her but it sounded like there was someone else heading in this direction so he would wait.

SPOILER!!: Mitchell

He took a seat by the open window before scribbling his name on one of the tags. He then stuck it on his clothes as the board instructed.



He then placed the two apples he'd brought on his desk. Now. What were they going to do with no skirts and apples?

See, he knew he'd heard someone else coming. It was a good thing he'd decided to wait afterall. Maddox nodded at the Gryffindor, pleased he'd gotten there in the nick of time. "Good morning Mister Phillips."



Maddox listened for a moment longer, in case any last minute stragglers were darting down the corridor to avoid being late. Once the second hand hit the hour of 9 officially the man had the door swing shut with a flick of his wand.

"Welcome to another year charms. For the benefit of those of you who are new, I am Professor Maddox Quigley and I'll," Obviously "be teaching you Charms. The name tags aren't only for me. They're for those of you who still don't know each other." Except that had only come as an after thought and they were really for him in the first place. Ahem. No one needed to know that.

"I can tell by the look on half of you that morning really just isn't the thing for you. It's fine. I can fix this." Really they could all thank Miss Kittredge later, she was brilliant. "I want everyone to stand. Yup, shake it off guys, you'll thank me for this later......................much later." Being as considerate as he was, he did wait for the last of them to be standing before banishing all the chairs to the sides of the classroom and toward the extreme back. "We are going to force ourselves awake which means laps around this room."

Maddox leaned off his desk, knowing he would regret this personally. "Not between the rows but in them. By that I mean crawling under a desk then climbing over another alternately until you lot get from one side of the classroom to the next. We'll start on the right; line up." Being the ridiculously good sport he was the man then shrank himself into the form of a cat and headed to the first desk on their little trek. He slipped with ease under it then hopped on to the one ahead of it.

This was all they were doing, under then over then under again until they completed all three rows. Just look how easily he was doing it! Being a cat had it's serious advantages, yes.

OOC: You don't actually need more than one post for this if you don't WANT to but please note that if you choose to do this in only one post it must be fairly detailed as the students are running the entire classroom. I'll move this class again in.....12-16 hours?

Despite the early hour, Dot was a wiggly, excited mess in her seat as she filled out her nametag and waited for class to begin. She'd even remembered to bring an apple this time, because she had DESIGNS on the professor's attention. In an entirely appropriate way, of course, but still. She was excited. Her name tag gave a little too much away, actually...

Once class actually started, her excitement was diminished by the physical labor. For one, it meant she didn't have to worry about performing a spell for the professor right after promising to be a good leaner (which... she was, right?). For TWO, the professor turned into a cat, and that was her favorite thing ever.

She immediately dropped into line and crawled under the first desk, only grazing her forehead slightly in her hurry to get up again. And now over the next desk.

Oh wow, when Echo thought of Charms she thought of last year... but laps and going up and over things... Did this Professor really think that the whole student body wanted to do this so early in the morning. Groaning Echo got up and did a little shake... yup thats all she was going to do, and she slowly made her way over one desk and then she had to crawl under another...

she didn't want to have to clean her robes so early in the year..but oh well this is what the Professor wanted. Looking over at the tables she realized she had to do it a few more times to finish.... whyyy.... she didn't want to do physical things.... please, did someone have like a candy that can make her sick so she could go see the healer instead of this stuff????

Time to get up Echo and "OUCH" she yelped while rubbing her left foot, she had stubbed her foot on one of the tables... wiggling her foot she was totally okay so she held up her hands and said "im alright, im alright" while she groaned under her breath.. okay just two more desks to do and she was done..

the finish line was in her sights and she was happy that she was about to be finished.... and then she was "yay" she said quietly as she stood and watched other students finish the task..

Yes Hayden was there. She was ready for the first Charms class. Ready and excited. She quite liked professor cat, and not just because he was a cat. She had taken a seat near Leah and written her name down.

There it was, stuck to the front of her robes. Now everybody would be able to know who she was. It would not be a good situation if she was a spy. Luckily she wasn't. Or was she? Hehe.

Mornings? No, she didn't particularly like them. Who did? This one Hayden didn't mind though, because she was still excited and running on adrenaline. But she didn't mind the exercise to wake them up. It would be fun anyway. Hayden scrambled out of her desk and moved to one side of the room. She dropped to her stomach and crawled underneath one desk. She moved to stand up and bumped her head on the bottom of the desk. Ow. Oops. Carefully, Hayden brought herself forward enough that she was clear of the desk before standing up this time. Over the next one!

Hayden sped up. She leaped over the desk to land on the other side. She could totally do it! She could - not. Hayden severely overestimated her jumping abilities. She fell onto the top of the desk before rolling off and hitting the ground. At least she hit her back and only had the wind knocked out of her instead of sustaining a lasting injury. She jumped to her feet as soon as she could breath again. Maybe it would be best to tone down the excitement just a little bit.

Natalia was starting to daydream about ice creams, ponies, and rainbows, until the professor came along and offered her a seat IN THE FRONT OF THE CLASSROOM. That meant not only would Natalia be watched by the professor THE ENTIRE TIME, but also MOVING her entire BODY to the other end of the classroom. Great.

Reluctantly, Natalia gathered all her belongings, stuck her head up proudly and marched to the front of the classroom and occupied a desk there. Happy? Bleh.

So this was Professor Quigley? Natalia was warned by a certain individual that he was one of the more...umm...less friendly kind of professor. Yes, Natalia definitely thought so, at least for now. GIVE THE POOR RESTLESS GIRL SOME FREEDOM. Natalia's mood was not eased by the worsening situation.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

So after Natalia had to move ALL THE WAY to the front of the room, she had to GET UP and SHAKE IT OFF? By "SHAKE IT UP" he meant RUN LAPs?! And by "run laps" USING THE DESKS AS HURDLES?! Nope. This class was not going to be fun, at all.

While lining up, Natalia made sure she stared at the professor's forehead with her glaring, glowering, glittering, GROWLING eyes, hoping to burn a hole through it. BLEH.

With no other choice, Natalia started the impossible mission. She crawled under the first desk with no problem; flattening herself against the snooth surface of the floor felt soooooo good....

Natalia got up lazily from her rather comfy position and climbed ever so sloth-like onto the next desk. What is the point of this?

By repeating her previous lazy methods, Natalia achieved victory over a couple of desks in a slow pace. Unexpectedly, though, Natalia began to feel a surge of energy running through her as she progressed! Wow! SHE WAS GETTING GOOD AT THIS. Like everything, Natalia wanted to do better at what she was good at. Except this took essentially no skill and she was not truly good at this whatsoever.

Faster and more agile, the Lioness crawled and climbed a couple more. She felt a rush of energy through her that she had never experienced this morning! WOOHOO! Physical activities could sometimes be FUN!

A very radical thought prompted Natalia to do something very stupid. Instead of climbing over the last desk, she jumped. The desk was evidently too high to be hopped over, but currently senseless Natalia couldn't even tell the difference between a friendly puppy and a hungry wolf. The Lioness bumped her knee against the edge of the desk, instigating tremendous pain immediately.

Ow! OW! OW!

Bracing her knee, Natalia limped around the desk she bumped into and waited for the others to finish. Well, at least she finished the mission in a sense. Now she had an ugly bruise on her knee from PHYSICAL EXPLOITATION.

I still blame Professor Quigley for this.
