Class 4: Second Years

[brendan]

Costumes. He sneered at them. He never liked playing dress-up very much, so when the TA asked them to wear those... things, he did, reluctantly. He laughed as Liyah went up, and he did a mock bow. All hail the imperial leader now. At the TA's question, Bren's mind went whirling. It was sort of a natural reaction that came when he was asked questions.

'Oh Madam Mackenzie,' He paused to stifle a laugh, before continuing, 'Can we, as Wizards, erect some shield of some sort to protect us?' He raised a question, seeing as that was what the TA wanted. Actually, it was more of a suggestion, but still.

[ I hope I did it right xD ]

Avery soared into class, running like the dickens. His books were clamped to his chest and he had no idea if he was late or not. Judging by the teacher talking at the front of the room, he assumed he was late. 'This is the first time I've ever been late for a class,' he hissed at himself in his head. Groaning even more because he didn't think he deserved a cookie, he took one from the plate at the front and ran forwards towards the nearest empty desk. Well, he tried to, anyway. He accidentally stepped on his left shoelace with his right shoe, and he went tumbling to the ground. Groaning, he picked up his books (his cookie was still safe in his hand) and he sat down at the desk, not wanting to look up. This was going to be a bad class.

He liked this. He listened to the girl. "I must say that's a dreadful idea to say! Where can we stay unless were on Mt. Olympus. We've lived here for centuries!" He said not answering all her questions. He nodded of the shield idea. "Madam please do give an answer on this shield idea. Is it possible in any way for muggles to stay far from us. You know this is a huge mountain!" He said.

[grobanitexd]

Aaliyah smirked as she listed to Brendan's idea. "Well, I was gonna say blow up every muggle who even attempts to come near but I like you're idea better," she said quickly. "But to do that, we'll need the wisest of wizards to come up with such a spell."

She glanced at Dennis, figuring he would know the right answer. [Well, of course he would. He's the teacher. See how smart Aaliyah can be?] "Oh, wise wizard. Could you please, for the sake of all of us, come up with a spell that will keep all nonmagical people at bay but allow any wizard to come up and down our mountain?"

[den]

Dennis laughed a little and smiled. Then got back to business. He walked back and forth back and forth. Pretend thinking. "This is advanced magic." He said. He made a small nod. "I will require five of the most wise wizards or witches on Mt. Olympus and I need some guards. The spell will take two days to complete and will need to work hard." He said.

[shayna]

It seemed to Shayna that only the T.A. Mr. Gregory had heard her. Sighing inaudibly she listened as the class went on. If it weren't for her twin she'd be all over this lesson and happy about it, but she wasn't so she just sat there mostly silent.

[mattias]

Unfortunatley it seemed Mattias Leonhart was late. He furiously nibbled down on his lip, annoyed at how he was late. Never before had this happened. So he slipped quietly into the class, taking a seat near anybody, and now listening. Hopefully Dennis hadn't noticed, but yet he probably had. It was sad really, but nevertheless he was here now.

Sadie slipped in class with enough time to catch what Brendan had said. She found herself a seat quietly, then glanced around to see what was going on in class. Her eyes fell upon the mock Mt. Olympus, which was really cool... and after a moment of listening to the conversation and noticing the others in clothes of the time period, she gathered a vague idea of what she was supposed to be doing.

The girl stood again, moving forward to grab an extra set of clothes. She pulled off her class robe, setting it aside as she stepped into a tunicy-sort of outfit. Grinning at herself, she glanced at the others as she sat back down, listening to the ideas. Keeping muggles away from Mt. Olympus, huh? Perhaps she could try her hand at an idea... Raising her hand to contribute, she spoke up.

"On top of a shield, er...Madam Mckenzie...? Could we try a muggle repelling charm? We...do know those in Ancient Greece, right? Or we could try a potion to make them forget about wizards and dump it in the local river so that all the townsfolk forget we're here..."

Sadie hoped that her ideas were useful. She was just learning about the time period...maybe they weren't advanced enough to know about muggle repelling charms, such as the ones in place around their very school. Or maybe this was the very situation in which these sort of spells were born! She waited to hear what the teacher would have to say, or perhaps this girl who was being given the ideas would react first...

[den]

Dennis smiled seeing Sadie. He nodded at her comment. "That is a good response. Madam McKenzie?" He asked her.

So far the class was doing good. He was happy with what he was seeing and how the class was interacting. House Points will be given this lesson for sure!

[grobanitexd]

"A muggle repelling charm. That is the perfect name for our spell," Aaliyah smirked. She then turned to the TA again. "So you require 5 witches or wizards to aid you with this spell. Well, then-"

She turned toward the class again, really enjoying the fact that she was acting like an important person. She enjoyed all the attention, even though she would probably embarass herself by coming up with a wrong answer. She had barely gone to the last two lessons [being late to both] but she had done her best to catch up on the work.

"Who would like to volunteer to help create this muggle repelling charm. We will need extremely smart witches and wizards. And who believes they are strong enough to stand guard while the spell is being taken care of?" she asked everyone.

[selkie]

The Gryffindor was quite pleased with the fact that her ideas were useful. She grinned when Dennis approved, then even more so as 'Madam McKenzie' mentioned that a muggle repelling charm would be a good name for their spell. When the girl asked for volunteers Sadie chimed in.

"I'll try to help with the charm, but I'm sure it's pretty advanced. I'm not sure if I know how to target a particular group of people, like muggles, with a repelling charm like that. And to place it around an entire mountain? Yeah, I'll volunteer to work on it but I definitely need help!"

She sat back, waiting to see what was next. This bit of class was kinda fun, and how cool would it be if she could actually learn how to do a muggle repelling charm? It may not get that far, but it would still be a great spell to know.

[trini]

Having been quite for some time, she decided to pipe up. "I would be honored to help with the spell, Madame McKenzie," she smirked. "I wouldn't dare not offer my services. I feel that it is my great duty to help," Sabra continued. She nodded and acted as humble as could be, almost as if she owed her life.

[brendan]

Raising his hand at Aaliyah's question, he volunteered too. 'It would be my honor.' He bowed low, like a Japanese ninja - low and down - as a flicker of amusement passed his face. This was good, and he was having fun; hell, he might actually pass History of Magic. The idea was foreign to the second year in fact. Whoa.

[troyzoton]

Troy walked into the History of Magic class and saw he was late, so he quickly walked through the room and took a seat behind Liyah and Sabra, "Hey guys, you okay?" he asked as he set his books and quill out onto the table.

[den]

Well so far he only had three people. He still needed two more to answer then he would skip to the next scene. It was funny because it would not take place in the room. The room would be empty and it would be outside. So he sat down on a rock and waited for three more people to respond to the act.

Seeing Troy move in the class he shook his head.

[den]

Looking at his watch seeing the time. Oh my goodness! It was like fifteen minutes past the stop time. "Stop!" He shouted. "Everybody you'll be late for lunch go were late just take off your clothes and head for the Great Hall!" He shouted.

"We'll continue from the next lesson. Have a good day."
