Now that Kat was able to take Care of magical creatures as an elective, it was starting to become one of her favorite subjects. She had signed up for the creature companions and visited the creatures at least once a week. Feeding, petting, and playing with all of the creatures. This was a chance for her to show her parents that she should have a crup and bring it to stay in the barn next term, or after christmas depending on when she got the crup. Also her and Henry were working on a little project, to ride a winged horse.

The blonde third year headed to the class. BEANBAGS. Wow she was really going to enjoy this lesson today, "Good Morning, Professor Hernandez." She smiled gleefully, even though in was still quite early in the day. Livy must have thought it was too early to be in class too. Was she actually snoozing over there? Haha.

Spotting Hattie, She sat down in the beanbag beside her. "Hey friend." She beamed. This made it all the more exciting to sit with her friend. Looking around she also spotted Henry. Of course she had to wave at him.

Care of Magical Creatures was going to be the very very very best elective course. They'd only just started the year, and Katy could tell it already. Granted, they hadn't had to deal with anything ugly or creepy or gross yet, but Katy's parameters for creatures were pretty broad.

She was excited. Not so much about the beanbags, which made it seem silly and not at all like they were gonna be learning stuff, but everything else. Yeah, everything else was VERY exciting.

"Good day, Professor."

Janelle was in a particularly good mood this morning. Care of Magical Creatures was one of her favorite classes and she was looking forward to today's lesson. Enjoying her a.m. walk, she arrived at the destination with time to spare. "Good morning professor, Janelle said cheerfully.

Janelle wondered what fun was in store for the class today. She had a feeling it was going to be something good, she just did. Finding an empty beanbag chair, she plopped down and got comfortable. Class should be starting any minute now. In the meantime, she got everything ready. She could not wait.

Colt rubbed his eyes because he was much of a morning person. He didn't care if the professor called him out on bringing coffee with him but he desperately needed it. Least this dude didn't make a 7am class. If he did then he would kill this Professor or never attend his lessons. Anywho he was surprised he made it to this one but he promised his folks he would be a little bit more academic after getting a pretty intense lecture from his father. He held his cup of coffee close to him and he muttered, "Morning.." then he proceeded to plop down on his bean bag. He realized he had his cup of coffee and it spilt on his pants. "Bloody merlin..." he muttered and cleaned the spot with his wand. "Well this morning is going well.." he muttered sarcastically to no one in particular.

Kaycee covered a yawn behind her hand. IT WAS EAAARLY. They better be about to see the crack of dawn magical wish granting unicorns.

Or something like that.

Otherwise, this could be down at a more reasonable hour. Like... at 2. Two was a good time. That was after the time it was acceptable to expect teenagers out of bed.

"Hello Professor." she greeted as she passed.

She then plopped herself into one of the nice bean bag chairs. Ahh. Was it nap time now?

This probably wasn't the best class for Cornelius to take. He could care less for creatures--save for his bearded dragon, Mustard--but it was a subject he needed to improve on more. If he wanted to be the very best at everything, then this was a step towards that.


Upon arriving, his gaze spotted his a pretty blonde, and of course he made his way towards her after greeting the professor. "Goooood day, Professor." Then he proceeded to steal the beanbag on Katerina's other side. "What's up, buttercup?" he grinned, waving at her little friend (Hattie).

Alyce was really excited for this class. This is one of the classes that she was looking forward to. And she didn't mind waking up a little bit early, she's a morning person after all. Beside they said early bird catches the worm. She wondered which creatures they gonna learn today? Maybe the Winged Horses. Oh please be the Winged Horses. With that thought, the first year made her way towards the backyard near the barn.

"Morning, Professor." She gave the Professor a smile. OH! Look beanbag chairs. She loved beanbag chairs. "And nice chair, Professor." The red hair said before she plopped down into one of the beanbag. She has a feeling that this lesson gonna be SUPER FUN!

Well, obviooooously Vivian would find herself up early for a Care of Magical Creatures lesson. Kinda like her mantra to be in this class and as well as Herbology, y'know? So yes, she was HERE and she was determined to get the best seat anyway. It was a shame that other pretty Professor Draper wasn't around anymore, but she was hopeful that the new Professor would be as great as him. He wouldn't be in this position if he weren't qualified though, right?

Skipping as usual to the classroom that they were supposed to be having the lesson today, Vivian was all smug. That was because she just found out she grew a couple inches over the summer - centimeters, actually, but you wouldn't want to break such a happy mood, right? C'mon. The now TWELVE year old skipped inside the room and beamed at the Professor. "HIIII Professor," she greeted. He wouldn't notice the tiny growth spurt because he was new to the school but.... whatevs.

And, as always, she flopped on a bean bag situated right in the first row. Yup, her favourite place.

Owen was usually awake early nowadays since his roommates were very eager to get him to exercise with them but today he was too tired that even when his friend woke him up for their daily run, he just fell back asleep. He still made it to class though. It was Care of Magical Creatures after all and it was one of his favorite classes.

"Good morning, Professor." Owen greeted the man with his signature grin as he entered the backyard.

Then walked towards Henry. Obviously he was sitting on the beanbag next to him. "Hey. Did you run? I fell back asleep, sorry."

For some reason, Brooklyn just equated CoMC lessons with mornings by now. There wasn’t much of a reason for that, but it just was. As evidence, once again she was walking to wherever the lesson was today practically right after breakfast, munching on an orange slice as she walked. By the time she arrived at the classroom, she had finished and took her wand out to vanish the remains before she headed into class. She doubted there would be any reason to keep orange peels in this lesson, if there was any reason to consider them relevant to CoMC in the first place.

She still generally only had an interest in dragons anyhow. So it was a moot point. She’d given the professor a slight nod as she looked for an open beanbag anyhow. “Good morning Professor Hernandez,” she added with a slight smile, settling into her chosen seat. It wasn’t as if there was anyone else she saw that required acknowledgment, but she was there anyway. She wasn’t about to leave now. Besides, the lesson still could prove interesting.

Timmy was nervous about this lesson, seriously he had no idea what to expect but he wasn't expecting kittens or puppy's in this lesson, being muggle born he was very nervous about this whole situation.

"Hello Professor." Timmy spoke politely. He now though had to figure out what he was supposed to do next, this school was weird.

It wasn't that early. Hadleigh had already gone for a morning run, spent time with Sammie in the barn, had breakfast, showered and gotten herself ready by the time she had to make her way back down onto the grounds.

Pushing the strap of her bag up higher onto her shoulder and pulling her hair back into a quick messy ponytail Hady entered the yard near the barns. "Hello Professor," she greeted warmly turning and waving at everyone else that was already seated. "Morning everyone." Yep, mass greeting for all her fellow peers that way no one got left out.

Taking a quick look around she found herself an empty beanbag chair, nice choice by the way Professor, and sat herself down in it. A few small wiggles to get herself settled and the teen was good and ready to go. Oh yeah, no point in holding her bag on her lap. She let that drop softly onto the ground at her side for when she was sure to need it in a few minutes. Now what were they going to be working with today?!

Being one of the first ones to arrive, Henry was starting to grow bored and restless while waiting for class to start. Shifting in his bean bag chair a few times to get comfortable, he watched as others started to arrive as well. He found it vaguely amusing that so many were yawning. It wasn't that early, was it?

Noticing several of his friends as they joined the class, he gave out a few waves and smiles. One of which was Nat who opted for the seat next to him. "Golden ticket? How'd I get so lucky?" he laughed. "Yeah, me too. Any guesses what it'll be today?" He couldn't really tell from the set-up.

He also caught sight of Kat as she walked in. Not sitting by him today? That was alright, she still got a smile and wave sent her way. Oh, and she was sitting by Hattie, who also got the same from Henry. It was probably good that he didn't sit by too many of his friends anyway or else he'd be too distracted with talking and probably get in trouble with the professor.

And there was his buddy, Owen, on the other side of him. "Hey, mate." He chuckled and nodded his confirmation. "Yeah, I sure did.. Oh, that's alright, I know it's a little early. But if you'd rather after classes today, we can go for a run later." He and Remy used to go after school until he somewhat got in the habit of getting up early. And he wouldn't force Owen, but he also wanted to be encouraging.

He shifted again in his seat, directing his attention forward. Was it time to start yet?

The sight of beanbags made Harvey smile. At least this would be a comfy start to the day!

"Good morning Professor," he said as he walked into the yard.

Many of the students were already seated. Harvey spotted an empty seat near to a boy who looked about his age, and made his way over.

"Is this seat free?" he asked with a smile. "I'm Harvey, by the way."

"Yeah this seat is free." Timmy smiled at the boy. "I'm Timmy, by the way." He wondered what was going to happen in this classroom, he was so excited but scared at the same time. He wanted to chat but he had a feeling he would get in trouble if he spoke too much.

Genny woke up late, she quickly put her hair up in a bun and raaaaaan down to the great hall for a quick breakfast (a younger student offered her his sandwich so she took it gladly and promised something else in return) then continued running out to the Grounds where their creatures lesson was held. Now this she would call a happy and fun class. "'Morning!" She said out of breath, the sandwich is almost gone, working on it as she chewed fast.

"Great, thanks," Harvey dropped his bag at his feet and sat down. These seats were so comfy!

"It's nice to meet you," he said, lowering his voice. He was pretty sure it was okay to talk before the class officially started - other students were doing it, after all, and the Professor was clearly still waiting for students to appear, so it must be okay, right?

"You're in Gryffindor, right?" he asked, glancing at Timmy's badge. "I'm in Ravenclaw. First year, so everything's a bit overwhelming, I can still hardly believe I'm here!"

He was babbling. Why did he always have to babble when he was nervous?!

It was a bit too early for dancing and flailing, even for Matt. The boy didn't drag himself to the lesson, though. He had been only half awake during breakfast, but that had been what, 10 minutes ago? More? Less? Around that, he thought. He was alright now.

Those beanbags, though!!! Gggrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!! Matt really liked beanbags. "Hi, professor."

FLOP.

He dived belly-first onto one of the ones at the front so he could still see what was going on clearly. Aahhh, nice and comfy.

Oh wow! An older student had actually just smiled and nodded. At him! That put a little pep in his step as he finished the trot to the beanbag he had selected. The boy plopped his stuff down on the floor and then, feeling a surge or courage, managed to say, "Hi. I'm Finnlay." He left out the first year part because, well, it was probably obvious.

Then, before he could stop himself, his inner insecurities got the best of him. "I hope it's okay I sit here. You probably have way cooler people that are on their way still." After all, he was fifteen minutes early. And the older students didn't have to leave the Great Hall with plenty of time to get lost on the way like he did.

Now Finn was just hoping the lesson would start sooner rather than later. First because the longer he sat here the more out of place he felt next to someone who probably secretly didn't want him there. But mostly he didn't know what he didn't know yet, and that was never good. He wanted to start catching up to the people that had grown up around these creatures their whole lives!

The first student had just arrived and Jordan couldn't help but smiled that he's a Ravenclaw. "Good morning Mr. Winslow." He replied. But noticing that the boy was opening a Charms textbook, the CoMC professor couldn't help but slightly disappointed. "I'm politely asking you to put that book away because this is not a charms class."

He entered the backyard at the grounds and immediately saw Professor Hernandez. "Hello, Professor!" The Badger smiled. He was glad he was early, because then he could choose a good seat. A good beanbag seat. His favorite type!

Picking a beanbag chair at the side, he took a seat and waited for the lesson to begin.

Another student then came in with a smile. He seemed very enthusiast with this class, well he should be. "Good morning, Mr. Leonard."

He was eager to find out what sort of creature they'd be studying - or better yet, handling - today!

Another Hufflepuff had just arrived. "Good morning Mr. Whittebrook."

Though a sense of relief washed over him after seeing the beanbag chairs.

"Morning, professor," he greeted, plopping down in the nearest beanbag towards the front.

Jordan couldn't help but notice the not-so happy Gryffindor. "Morning, Mr. McWitty." He said. "I hope that you still have some energy to attend this class."

More Hufflepuff. Seemed like so many badgers taking this class. "Hello, Miss Paton."

This was only proven further in how she was trudging across the grounds, placated slightly by the early morning air, but still mean mugging her surroundings as she walked; head bent down. Not only was this all happening due to the early hour, but she'd also had a nightmare the night before. Olivia had never had a nightmare.

It had her all out of sorts.

So, plopping down into a beanbag, the first available one, Liv curled up and prepared to sleep until the lesson actually started. "Hello, Professor." It was mumbled.

Brace yourself, a grumpy Gryffindor had just arrived.

"Miss Phillips, I hope you are awake enough to attend this lesson." Or not. Jordan watched the lioness fell asleep as she sat on a beanbag. Let's see, if she still asleep once the class started, he's gonna spray some water on her face.

Such a polite Slytherin. "Thank you, Mr. Park. So far I do enjoy my day." The professor replied.

Smiling she entered the classroom, she was in a good mood today and she even hummed softly to herself. In her pocket she carried like usual her rat Flam with her and she was sure that that wasn’t going to be a problem, this was a lesson about animals after all!

“Good morning Professor” spoke Leesha while looking at the teacher. During her Muggle school time she didn’t had paid her teachers much respect but those teachers weren’t having a wand in their possession so here at Hogwarts she decided to show some more manners and to prove to her parents that it was possible for her to behave!

Taking a random seat she looked around her, relieved that the place wasn’t smelling bad, especially not for a place like this!

"Good morning, Miss Griffel." He said as the Slytherin girl arrived. But wait.... Did she bring a rat in her pocket? "I'm sorry, but for your rat's safety, I think it's best that you leave your rat in your dorm next time." He didn't want a classroom drama that one of the creature eating her pet. Nope.

Rubbing her eyes as she approached, her short mousy hair still showing some remnants of of sleep clinging to it in all the unfortunate ways, Paige managed a small smile to the professor before heading towards the nearest beanbag chair. "Good morning, Professor Hernandez," she greeted with a subtle yawn, setting her owl shaped backpack down beside her beanbag of choice (next to Lancelot) before sliding into it herself.

Not...helping with the sleepiness either...since these cushions were meant to mold against and around you for optimum comfort.

"Good morning, Miss Skeeter." Jordan said to the Hufflepuff. "I kinda hope that you're awake enough to attend the lesson." Maybe he shouldn't use beanbags anymore for the students. And mind you, 9 AM is NOT that early. They should've been lucky that he didn't start the class at seven in the morning.

After all, the castle was large and the grounds were even larger. It wouldn't do to get lost and end up being late.

So it was that the first year arrived fifteen minutes early for Care of Magical Creatures. He still wasn't sure what to make of his professors yet. As he arrived, he located Hernandez and gave him a polite smile. "Good morning, sir," the youngster said. Then he located a seat near the only person he at least recognized (Mason), a fellow Ravenclaw he'd seen in the common room.

"Good morning to you too, Mr. Muir." The creature's professor replied politely to the ickle claw.

She did smile though and wave at the Professor. "Hello Professor. " She said as she settled down in a bean bag chair and made sure all of her supplies were in order.

"Hello, Miss Snow." He simply replied to the Ravenclaw girl. It seemed like she's one of the Draper's groupie or something like that. Yeah, it's not easy to get know a new professor on a block like him.

Moving further into the room, Jace inclined his head towards the man in front and gave him his greetings. “Good morning, Professor.” he said in a calm manner, not wanting to disturb a very sleepy lion (Liv) closest to him. As soon as he took a seat, he gave her a shy smile and immediately looked for another familiar face in the room. Brown eyes landed on Azura, and she got a wave from him too.

What a zen child, he thought. "Good morning Mr. Reed."

Wasn't he the richie rich who owns the abraxans sanctuary? He would love his lessons today. "Morning, Mr. Salander." He nodded to that Gryffindor.

She pulled her school robes tightly around her as the morning air was a little colder than usual. After a few minutes she had arrived. "Good morning Professor Hernandez. How are you?" Kitty asked politely before going to sit next to Azura.

Jordan smiled at the Ravenclaw prefect. Ah, his inner #ClawPride was beaming when he saw Kitty came to his class. "Good morning, Prefect Valentine. I am very good, and thank you very much for asking."

She made her way calmly to the back of the barn where the class was being held and nodded as she passed the professor. "Hey, Professor Hernandez. How are you today?" She was being a bit overly polite as she sometimes had to remind herself that Hernandez wasn't Drapes, and therefore there was no reason to be on guard and short with him. In a way she was over compensating just a bit.

Ah, he recognized this girl. Wasn't he also a Draper's groupie or something like that? "Morning, Miss Denaker. I'm good and thank you so much for asking."

" Morning, Professor Hernandez... Idn't it a bit early for all this yet?..." she said with a small smile... " Was just joking by the way, Sir... all in good fun yeah? "

Okay so obviously something had changed Randi quite a bit in recent weeks... She was definitely more happy... she plopped into a beanbag and pondered the reason until class began...

Seriously, 9 AM is NOT that early. Maybe next time Jordan should have a 7 AM class so they would stop saying that 9 AM is too early for a class. "Morning, Miss Blaze. Maybe next time I should put your name for a morning barn assignment so you will experience the 'real' early morning."

The colder temps were starting to come and Nat was already freezing in the mornings. She had been here since she was fourteen why was she not use to this yet?

Getting down to the class she looked around. "Morning Professor" still not making eye contact. She had met him at the barn one morning, but she still didn't know much about him yet. Taking a deep breath she moved to find a seat. Seeing a few people she gave waves.

Jordan had met this student once at his barn, and somehow there's something strange about her not making eye contact with him. Not that he mind though. "Miss Franks-Mundie. I hope you have a good morning too."

Oh, for the love of Abraxans.

"Do you want me to start the class earlier than this, Mr. Bellaire? Or put your name for an early morning barn assignment?" Jordan asked him. Really, why so many students thought that having a class at 9 AM is too early? Kids nowadays...

But at least he woke Miss Phillips up.

Trixie stifled her yawn as she entered the room, right behind Blaise and she managed to throw a sleepy smile in the direction of the Professor. "Morning Professor."

Oh look! Beanbags! She waved at her best friend Olivia, who appeared to be asleep and then waved to people she knew and didn't know before flopping down beside (Ace). "I always enjoy this class. Don't you?" She asked the curly haired boy.

OOC: There's no room ^^

"Morning, Miss Jenkins." He simply greeted the Gryffindor.

Spotting Hattie, She sat down in the beanbag beside her. "Hey friend." She beamed. This made it all the more exciting to sit with her friend. Looking around she also spotted Henry. Of course she had to wave at him.

"Good morning, Miss Delgado." He greeted the Hufflepuff girl.

Otherwise, this could be down at a more reasonable hour. Like... at 2. Two was a good time. That was after the time it was acceptable to expect teenagers out of bed.

"Hello Professor." she greeted as she passed.

She then plopped herself into one of the nice bean bag chairs. Ahh. Was it nap time now?

Why it seemed the Gryffindor didn't approve the 9 AM class? Once again, it's not that much early!!! "Morning, Prefect Richards."

"Morning, Professor." She gave the Professor a smile. OH! Look beanbag chairs. She loved beanbag chairs. "And nice chair, Professor." The red hair said before she plopped down into one of the beanbag. She has a feeling that this lesson gonna be SUPER FUN!

"Morning, Miss LeFrique." He simply replied to the ickle Slytherin.

It was a shame that other pretty Professor Draper wasn't around anymore, but she was hopeful that the new Professor would be as great as him. He wouldn't be in this position if he weren't qualified though, right?

Skipping as usual to the classroom that they were supposed to be having the lesson today, Vivian was all smug. That was because she just found out she grew a couple inches over the summer - centimeters, actually, but you wouldn't want to break such a happy mood, right? C'mon. The now TWELVE year old skipped inside the room and beamed at the Professor. "HIIII Professor," she greeted. He wouldn't notice the tiny growth spurt because he was new to the school but.... whatevs.

And, as always, she flopped on a bean bag situated right in the first row. Yup, her favourite place.

What a bouncy Slytherin.

"Good morning, Miss Fairfield." Jordan said to her. At least she looked very enthusiast with this class. Well, she should be.

"Good morning, Professor." Owen greeted the man with his signature grin as he entered the backyard.

Then walked towards Henry. Obviously he was sitting on the beanbag next to him. "Hey. Did you run? I fell back asleep, sorry."

"Good morning, Mr. Montezor."

It wasn’t as if there was anyone else she saw that required acknowledgment, but she was there anyway. She wasn’t about to leave now. Besides, the lesson still could prove interesting.

"Good morning, Miss Andrews."

"Hello Professor." Timmy spoke politely. He now though had to figure out what he was supposed to do next, this school was weird.

That student seemed nervous and Jordan had no idea why. He's not that scary or grumpy or whatever. "Good morning, Mr. Jones."

Pushing the strap of her bag up higher onto her shoulder and pulling her hair back into a quick messy ponytail Hady entered the yard near the barns. "Hello Professor," she greeted warmly turning and waving at everyone else that was already seated. "Morning everyone." Yep, mass greeting for all her fellow peers that way no one got left out.

Taking a quick look around she found herself an empty beanbag chair, nice choice by the way Professor, and sat herself down in it. A few small wiggles to get herself settled and the teen was good and ready to go. Oh yeah, no point in holding her bag on her lap. She let that drop softly onto the ground at her side for when she was sure to need it in a few minutes. Now what were they going to be working with today?!

Ah, the head girl. Jordan nodded and slightly smiled as Hady came into his class. "Good morning, Head Girl Lynch. I guessed that you have just visited Sammie in her barn?"

"Good morning Professor," he said as he walked into the yard.

Many of the students were already seated. Harvey spotted an empty seat near to a boy who looked about his age, and made his way over.

"Is this seat free?" he asked with a smile. "I'm Harvey, by the way."

"Good morning, Mr. Jarvis."

Now this she would call a happy and fun class. "'Morning!" She said out of breath, the sandwich is almost gone, working on it as she chewed fast.

.....................

Did she just run from the castle? Well, at least Miss Tate did show that she didn't want to be late for a class and he appreciated it. "Good morning, Miss Tate. You're lucky that I haven't started yet."

Those beanbags, though!!! Gggrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeat!! Matt really liked beanbags. "Hi, professor."

FLOP.

He dived belly-first onto one of the ones at the front so he could still see what was going on clearly. Aahhh, nice and comfy.

Okay, another Gryffindor came in. "Good morning, Mr. Meriwether."

His watch showed that it's 9 AM sharp already. Time to start the class and put away his coffee mug. "Good morning, Everybody!" Jordan spoke, half-loudly that all the students could hear him and those who was being sleepy sleeperson would be awake. "Today, I am gonna teach about one of my favorite creatures ever, and it's the reason why I decided to pursue my career in Magizoology and especially, being a breeder of them.." Anyone could guess? Nope? Okay. Waving his wand to the board, there's a picture of winged horse revealed.

"Each of you should give me one thing that you know about winged horse." Anything, although he kinda hope that they wouldn't mention some obvious things like "It has wings" or something like that.



OOC: I hope that no one will post his character late after this. Feel free to jump in and pretend that your students have been arrived early before. Just mention ONE thing about the winged horse that your charrie know ^^ and the class will be continue in approximately 20-24 hours after this post.

Okay, it was time for class to begin and Henry resumed his focus to the front of the class area and on their teacher. He wondered what the professor's favorite creature was and what they would be studying, and as he revealed the image on the board, the fourth year let out a small gasp. Winged horses were one of his favorites too, and he was rather excited to be studying them today as he knew something about them. AND WOULD THEY GET TO RIDE THEM?!

His hand immediately shot up. "I know that there are several different breeds of winged horses and one of them is called Granian. Granians are really fast and are the kind of winged horses used in races." Of course he loved fast and he loved to fly, so that would be at the forefront of his mind. He knew loads of other stuff but professor asked for one, so he lowered his hand after he was done with his answer.

Kimi thought and thought and said "Well i think that a winged horse is a really strong flyer" Kimi wasnt sure it was right but it was worth a chance

It didn't matter what Livvy was yelling, the moment she did so, the Gryffindor jumped out of his seat in favour of getting himself clear of anything she might have tried firing at him. A quick glance was spared at his quill to ensure it was also unharmed. The term never tickling a sleeping dragon, it very much applied to Olivia Phillips, regardless of the fact she'd hadn't ACTUALLY done anything but get startled awake. "Circe Livvy." Blink. "Sorry about that."

The boy's attention returned to the Professor. "I'd like you to do neither, Sir." How was that not obvious? He wasn't saying he LIKED this hour, Merlin. Blaise took a few seconds to settle his nerves after the heart attack that was Olivia then he seated himself once again. "Midday lessons would be lovely--if you're taking suggestions." It sounded like it, mhm, because he obviously wasn't insinuating that Blaise should come earlier. It just ....just no. No thanks. No.

Winged horses. Right. Well. "They have wings." Funny that.

They were going to get to learn about Winged Horses? That was so cool! Harriet practically beamed. That made her so happy. They were pretty and she was excited to learn about them! She was a little fidgety actually, and almost fell off of her beanbag. She was very excited indeed! She had known that there were some not so nice creatures, so she was glad that they were going to be learning about something pretty. She obviously wanted to learn about all creatures, but to get a pretty and cool one for their first lesson of the year was pretty great

She racked her brain, trying to think of a really good fact to say. She tilted her head as she thought, and then she raised her hand. "The Beauxbatons Academy came to Hogwarts in a carriage pulled by Abraxan, a type of winged horse for the Triwizard Tournament in 1994. And they only drank single malt Whiskey. Which is a pretty interesting diet" That was a pretty interesting fact.

After being kicked awake, it had taken several moments for Olivia to remember exactly where she was and what she was meant to be doing. You know how it is ... when you don't wake up by your own means. It could be very disorienting. So, it took a fair amount of time to get herself 'back in the game', so to speak. "It's okay, Bellaire." Her voice was scratchy and dry from lack of use. She was clearly exhausted.

Oh, and Trixe had been waving at her.

Returning the gesture with one hand and covering her mouth mid!yawn with the other, Liv looked upon their professor a bit dazed. "They're majestic to look at." Okay, so that probably wasn't what the professor had been hoping for but it WAS true, nonetheless.
