Defence Against the Dark Arts: OWL & NEWT[8]

[Professor Giles]

Well then..

*taking a coin for himself*

I do believe I will resume class tomorrow. Are you excited? We are to begin ritualization, *faster* now its a topic only breezed through on th NEWTS, but that's why I frontloaded the first term with formal meanderings and now...well, now theory into practice.

I do hope your family has not been effected by any of the dark events of late.

[Priscilla Medusa Chimaera]

Priscilla looked more like herself again, and smiled, his enthusiasm rubbing off on her.

"I'm very excited! I think it's going to be a priceless experience for all of us!" Her eyes had regained their gleam.

"And my family are very well, but thank you for the concern. I suppose I better get on with my research," she said and stood up.

[Professor Giles]

Yes...*pushed his planner and some papers into his case and decided to walk out with her*

[Priscilla Medusa Chimaera]

Picking up her bag, Priscilla joined the professor out of the classroom.

[Professor Giles]

*pushes into class and drops his case and coat on the desk. He then throws down the Daily Prophet and sighs heavily.*

*He doesn't know if he should continue class, as only one student is going to show...he assumes*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*runs into class, carrying an unbalanced stack of books*

*slams down stuff onto desk and lets out a sigh of relief*

"Here, Professor..."

*shields eyes from windows*

"Urr...can you please shut the windows??"

[Aurélie Benoit]

*walks in gracefully behind Sebastian and puts her books on the desk with a flourish*

*hopes that Sebastian notices her rather shorter than the dress code permits skirt, wishing to continue the teasing from last night, knowing she will win in the end*

Here, Professor

*smiles patiently as she sits in her chair, waiting for instruction*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*watches her bare legs from his chair and decides to let his attention roam to them for the time being...*

*thinks* I may not be able to concentrate in ANY class now...

*runs his fingers through his hair and grins at Aurelie*

[Aurélie Benoit]

*grins over at Sebastian as she waits for the teacher*

*thinks that he is probably very distracted... one point for Aurelie!*

[Sebastian Bordeaux]

*whispers to Aurelie*

"I haven't been to this class for two weeks now..."

*mouth curves into smile*

"I think you're a good influence..."

*wishes she were closer than a desk away*

[Aurélie Benoit]

*smirks back teasingly*

Well, I would hope so

*does her best imprsonation of an American southern belle*

I do what I can

*flips her hair and looks the other direction*

[Professor Giles]

*coughs*

I am very glad to see you two, as three of my students are on leave for a family affair and I afraid I would have no one to teach.

*looks down at his roster*

Could I have your names please, and so I can learn a bit more about you, some of your hobbies and a bit about your family.

[Aurélie Benoit]

*smiles at the professor*

Yes, my name is Aurelie Benoit. I'm new here. I went to Beauxbatons for my first six years. However, my father was recently transferred for his job. So, my family has moved to England. Um... as far as hobbies go...

*shrugs*

I like potions...

*smiles kindly*

How is that?

[Professor Giles]

Wonderful.

I have made a packet for each of you, including a syllabus, so you should be right on your way for the exam in June.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*runs into the classroom, trying to, for once, not be late, but fails*

Sorry Sir...

*is not surprised at the few students and sits down near the front, noticing Sebastian from the other day, and wonders why he is in such a sun exposed classroom*
