Ahh, good, yes, I see your name here Mr. Tayllore. As I told the others, three of my students, connected to the death in Diagon Alley, are on leave so I am very glad to have some more moved into this class.
Mr. Tayllore, I do not believe I have ever had you in a class. Could you introduce yourself?
*pours some more tea*

*clears throat*
"I'm Sebastian Bordeaux...you may not have ever seen me because I usually take my studies...urr--elsewhere. I was born in France but I haven't been there in some time. I like potions, nighttime, and hexing..."
*walks up to Mr. Giles desk, squinting all the way*
*lowers voice so only he can hear*
"And I'm allergic to the sun...so...can you please close the windows?"
*pulls his hood even more over his face*
*stands there a little awkwardly, since he's not used to being in a classroom setting*

*a bit taken aback, but with a swish closes all the curtains and then lights the candles on the side*
Well, glad you are here. I had some students from France in this class earlier this term.
How much exposure to the Dark Arts, or Defence against them, have you been exposed to?

*returns to his seat once he knows the windows are closed*
*wipes the light sweat from his forehead and looks back at his new Professor*
"Well...I only go to classes that interest me...I managed to conjure a patronus last year, but other than that not much. I'm a bit better off this year than last, so I can be in classes with everyone else."
*sits up straight in his seat, hiding his excitement at being in a class and not an independent study*

Well, I should have you all ready for the NEWTs in June. Those of you new, do not worry, you will pick up on everything quickly.
*looking at his planner on his desk*
We were just to begin ritualisation, the process of making an ordinary object magical.
Ever heard of this topic before?

*looks at Aurelie next to him, wondering if she knows about ritualisation*
*face turns very blank*
*thinks* What the hell is that??!!??

*goes over to the bookshelf and stops for a second*
Do you have your books for this class? I have a few spares until you can order ones if you don't.

"Oh, no sir, I'm afarid I didn't think ahead. It's hard to do shopping at night now...if you know what I mean..."
*discretly passes a note (origami flower shaped) to Aurelie*
Note reads:
Dear Aurelie,
What else do you fancy about me, besides my "warmness"? I never thought I was warm...but maybe around you I am?
Toujours (always), Sebastian

*looks at the professor*
I'm afraid that I don't have any books either
*thinks hard, wanting to answer the professor's question about ritualisation*
*decides that she doesn't know*
*sees Sebastian pass her the note, takes it and reads it*
*smiles to herslf and decides to wait until after class to answer his question*

*drums fingers on desktop, waiting for Aurelie's reply*
*already finding it hard to sit still and pay attention in a classroom environment*
*kicks Aurelie's foot playfully*

*decides that being caught passing notes might be better than having a bruise on her pretty foot*
*scribbles on the bottom of the paper*
Sebastian,
I rather like the way that your hair falls in front of your face... and the way that your pretend that you don't care when you obviously do. How is that?

*reads it and smiles without knowing it, then turns his expression back to solemn*
*writes on the back of the parchment*
Pretty good...I'm hoping that over time you can write a hundred page list about me...is that a worthy goal? So are you a particularly studious person? I think you are!

*taking two large texts from the top shelf and places them on each of their desks*
Well I won't start anything new today because I want to make sure you know all the background.
*thinks for a second*
You can spend the rest of the period reading in your texts quietly. I will be my desk if you have any questions.

*smiles as she takes the book from Professor Giles*
*opens her book and starts to read the contents*
*decides that this subject probably is pretty useless*
*glances over at Sebastian and catches his eyes with hers*

*takes a book too and opens it up, but doesn't read*
*looks back at Aurelie and gives an obvious wink*
*thinks* When do we get to hex people?!?
