Apparition starts NOW!

[judith]

{ Character age needs to be 16 + and you must be in the 7th year. }

Judith Hayford knew she was a bit late of starting the classes for Trio’s Hogwarts Apparition testing and licensing. Smiling as she had the Great Hall for herself she muttered endless streams of words to set the Great Hall up for her liking.

The great tables folded to the sides of the room. Conjuring smaller tables and comfortable chairs to be ready for the talking part of her class. She was trying not to be dual but it is something she felt that had to be done. Now it was the waiting game.

As some of the higher years started coming into the room she smiled hoping she’d get a good batch. “I hope you all don’t mind, but I would like to start now,” she spoke to the ones in the room. Who was late could watch the replay disks that Drake Flammel left behind for others to use.

“Welcome to Apparition,” her voice held a strong tone of a melody that was of forced perception. “Apparition is not only a privilege granted to the young wizards and witches as yourself. Apparition is an art,” Judith spoke the words she truly believed. Fifty six years of age a few years on the job, she loved it. “Our government can revoke your access to this art. But with me, over time you can come to learn the basics of this art for your own personal use.”

Judith gazed upon the seventh years in the room. “The ability to aspirate or better known as the ability to transport instantaneously takes time to master. After this class you may not become a master of this art, it takes years to master, I am happy to help others if they visit my office after graduation for more tips. If you make any discoveries by accident, please report them to me for they can be reviewed.”

“Are you all ready?”

>- Do not use the excuse that you didn't know about this class. I sent a message to every 7th year, I went through the memberlist three times to make sure I got everyone. So you had some form of notification, -<

[Forbid Jaganshi]

The Mihael shifted slightly in her seat, just the slightest bit antsy. She never had liked sitting still for long periods of time. It got on her nerves and caused her to fidget. Too bad she had to sit still for the time being. Nnn. Perhaps sometime soon she'd be able to move... At least the Hayford lady seemed fairly nice. That was a plus. Forbid folded her hands diligently in her lap, attempting not to fidget. It was always too much of a distraction anyhow... Kage, annoying as she was, had also decided to shut up for this. At least she knew when to be quiet... sometimes.

The Jaganshi listened attentively as the instructor began to talk about Apparition. She found herself tapping her fingers against her thighs as she did so. She needed to do something with her fingers since sitting on them didn't seem to be doing all that much really. So very, very sad. Too bad, so sad. The instructor said it was an art. The comparison caused Forbid to furrow her eyebrows a bit. Was it really? She supposed it sounded fairly like an art, of sorts.

It was nice to know that once graduating, she could visit her office should she have any problems. Neat-o. Moe, moe. She just hoped she didn't do too badly with this. It certainly didn't sound easy, than again, few things in life are. This was just another thing to add to the list of non-easy things in the world. And oh was there many things on said list. It was a very long list mind you. Definitely. So long in fact that it was all... dude! Alright, no more off-track-hyper thinking. Pay attention. Mmkay. Attention. Right. She just said something about being ready... Right, right.

She nodded slightly to herself, not really expecting it to be noticed by Hayford. She crossed her ankles and held her chin in her hands, having moved them from their previous place beneath her thighs. The whole thigh-thing hadn't been working out anyway. This occupied her hands more even if they kept tapping against her cheeks and chin. Bleh. 'Twas better than nothing. I really need to cure this whole fidgeting problem-thing.

[americaneagle14]

Today was supposed to be a good day, right? It was time to learn apparition, something Monica had always found interesting. She knew it'd be necessary to master apparition if she wanted to be a good auror. Lately she'd been laying low, having become a bit under the weather, not to mention getting little to no sleep. Today just wasn't the greatest day to go on with the class. Her patience just didn't want to cooperate with her; something that she would need for this class.

She'd been sitting at one of the tables, head propped up on her fist looking at the instructor with glazed eyes. Her voice just droned on and on. Her legs were crossed beneath the table, her other hand holding her wand loosely, resting between them. She flexed her foot back and forth, a habit she had started doing when she got unbelievably bored. She was almost to the point of falling asleep, but she strained herself to keep awake. It'd be rude to fall asleep.

Honestly, though, how could you pay attention to some old broad who thought apparition was some sort of "art"? It was just a mode of transportation, for heaven's sake; it wasn't that big of a deal. Monica's head almost slipped from her fist, but her head jolted back just as the woman stopped talking. Sitting back in her seat, Monica looked to the other student in the room to see if she had responded. Monica nodded, but waited for instruction before she would get up.

[Jodi Peterson]

[Jodi had to admit she'd been waiting for this moment for a long time. Ever since she'd caught her mother doing it in the kitchen to avoid being tickled by her father. They played many games like that. Dad being a Muggle he couldn't apparate. She just watched her parents in awe. It was then she'd realized being magical would be fun.

Jodi had been having a good day so far. She'd spent the morning studying, had gone to the kitchen to grab an apple, and went to her later classes. Everything during the day had seen mellow. Mellow in a good way. Calm and relaxed was the best way to describe her day. Jodi liked this sort of day. A nothing day. Apart from the fact she's be learning to Aspirate. Oh, how long Jodi had waited for this day

Jodi walked into the Great Hall and noticed the tables had been pushed aside. She smiled. This is the way the room had been set up every term since Jodi had started school. She remembered standing in the Entrance Hall looking upon the 7th years of that time. She wanted to be just like them./i]

Jodi walked toward the Professor and Monica and Forbid. She heard for a distance that Judith wanted to start. Jodi quickly introduced herself as being head girl Jodi, and sat down on a comfortable chair to listen to her speak.

She liked it when the Professor mentioned Apparition as being an art form. She was attracted to the idea that Judith felt so strong about what she taught others about. Some teachers which had taught her before, had no passion for that they where teaching. Jodi could tell this lesson was be good, having a Professor that sees work also as leisure couldn't be a bad thing

[roxy]

Roxy! Idiot! How could she be late for something as important as a class like this!? Apparating was something very important. Ever since she was a first year, it was quite a big topic. You were the 'it' person if you could apparate. Roxy sighed and ran her fingers through her hair as she pushed open the doors to the Great Hall. Professor Hayford had sent out notices for all seventh years to attend this class. Ugh. Only Roxy would be a little late. She happened to have walked in right behind Jodi and right while the professor was speaking. Art? Yes.Yes,it was.

Roxy smiled to herself. She was going to learn how to apparate! How exciting this would be. The teacher asked if the students were ready and Roxy nodded her head more than necessary.Only then, did Roxy notice that she was still standing. She quickly sat beside Jodi and mumbled the words that sounded like,'Hi.' She glanced back at the teacher,wondering what it would be like to apparate. She had never really seen it happen before. Roxy had only heard many,many fascinating stories. She shivered with excitement. Roxy glanced around the room. There weren't too many people in the class. Just Jodi....and two other girls. Maybe it wasn't as big of a deal to the other persons. Roxy shrugged. It was surely a big deal to her. Roxy blinked and looked up at the front of the room.

Roxy felt around in the pocket of her robes for her wand. She didn't really know how apparating worked. That was one subject that she hadn't read about. What a first. Maybe she just wanted the suspense to kill her and find out what it would be like herself. Roxy shrugged. She grinned to herself and bit her bottom lip. First,animagus lessons,now this. Roxyran her fingers through her hair to get it out of her face and glanced up at the teacher.

[Alexander W. Black]

An owl had arrived at the corridors of the castle, as if it were waiting for him. Jumping over at Alexander, it screeched, letting go of the mail it held, and bowed. Properly trained it seemed. Something important must have been in this letter. Picking up the letter, Alexander opened it and read the message inscribed.

"What!" He screamed. The hairs behind his neck shot up, feeling goosebumps everywhere on his body. "I must be late!" He screamed, as he began to run down the corridor, which were somewhat isolated, at least where he was. Dodging a few people that had been around, Alexander reached the doors of the great hall. "Great..." He said as he entered the room, looking over at everyone else who had arrived.

It wasn't as much people really. Sighing and completely ignoring everyone else. Alexander stood there, wondering what will happen.

[Joe Moon(gone)]

Joe knew that he was going to be late but might as well still show up. The boy went walking through the halls late... That was the only thing that was up into his mind. He finally went to the student seating which was where he had to be. There were six people already there. Was there suppose to be more? Most likely.

The first person that he saw right-off-the-bat was Roxy. Yay she made it. Wow she did it! Then there was Jodi, but he knew that she was going to make it. He walked to a seat right next to Roxy and waited. "Roxy did I miss anything?" Joe asked.

(OOC: I already told you my excuse if I am not on time. ^^)

[judith]

Glancing at the students who have arrived a smile came to Judith’s face. Better then last term already she smirked slyly. Taking a glance at Forbid Jaganshi, a prefect from Mihael. Watching her for a few seconds smiling, and going on to look at the next few students in the room.

“As I said…this is an art you are about to learn. But who said we are going to get straight to practice? Hmm…” Judith smiled shyly.

Apparition is not only a privilege that can be revoked. It is an art. An art that needs to cherish. With so many laws regarding this art, we will learn only the ones we need to know. As I have said, Apparition is an art, and as an art it needs to be cherished and not lost. We need to pass it down from generation to generation.

Apparition for those of you who do not know of it as of yet is a means of instantaneous transportation. But there is a downside. Most make a loud snap when arriving at their destination or leaving. Some such as me, who has mastered the art do not make much of a peep.

Apparition is not always a reliable means of transport. Over long distances sometimes it is not recommended. Now there is one thing we all must remember before we even think of trying to Apparate. Apirating directly into one's home is considered rude. It is not a law, it is a fact of common sense. Would you like somebody barging right into your home?

Apparition is an art. Transportation is a wonderful thing. Without transportation where would our world be? Concluded? Dead? Transportation has allowed our kind to spread around the world.

[Natalia Burana]

^{Busy, busy, always so busy. Natalia rarely had time to breath anymore, let alone rest. It was amazing how she'd managed thus far not to slip so far in her grades. She'd been given far more than her mouth could ever chew. No longer did she walk at the casual, nearly regal pace that she'd mastered for so long. Her steps were hurried by her tight schedule. Now, another rush. Natalia raced to the Great Hall for her lesson in Apparition. Merlin, she was late. She'd been catching up on her studies in the library and dozed off a bit over her books. Bugger. At least she woke up in time for the lesson--sort of. With a sigh, she entered the Great Hall, only to realize that everyone else had already arrived. Damn. Quietly, she approached the group of students and the instructor. The only thing she managed to hear was that apparition was an artform. Oh, joy, she thought to herself. Natalia bowed her head apologetically for her tardiness.}
