Class I : Years 4 - 7

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce made his way to class today. When he got to the door he walked in and looked around to see if he knew anyone. He saw Brie and Holden. He grinned about Holden and about Quidditch tryouts. He walked in and sat towards the back of the room. He put his things down right by his desk and waited for class to start.

[Jasmine Taylor]

Jas fussed with her skirt has she walked down the hall. She always hated this thing, she could have sworn it was too short for her. Looking up she gave up on trying to make it look longer has she turned the corner. Walking into the class she didn't really bother to look around, she knew that she was going to end up sitting by herself. She did noticed that the room looked very different. There was comfy seats instead of the plain desk that normally filled the other rooms. Taking a seat away from the others she scanned the room has she waited.

[Jackie Lupin]

<sub>OOC : Sorry for the delay.

This will be post-pone until tomorrow due to work issues.
We'll be starting with this tomorrow morning, so be ready. :]</sub>

[Avery Moretti]

Avery was pretty darn happy. She had lots of sweets that had been gathered by her and Jackson having gone trick-or-treating in London on Wednesday night. It had been amazing fun, and she was really glad they went. Sure, they were a bit old, but who cares! At least they weren't out egging houses or beating up kids and taking their bag of sweets.

Now it was Friday. Yay! The weekend was soon. But she had work tonight, which was kind of crappy, because she'd much rather spend her evening with her boyfriend and friends. Skipping into the classroom, she opened her mouth slightly in the shape of an o. It looked very different. Couches and stuff. Pretty comfy looking. :] Grinning, she walked over to Amanda, Holden, and Jackson. They were all sitting on a couch, filling it up quite a bit, but she didn't want to sit anywhere but with Jackson, so hmph. Plopping herself onto the arm rest of the couch next to Jackson, she partially sat in his lap and partially sat on the arm rest, if that's possible.

Leaning down to give him a kiss on the cheek, she said, "Hullo, darling." Then looking at Holdan, Amanda, Nathaniel, and Levi [who was not sitting with them, but near by], she smiled and said, "Hello, everyone"

[sweetjen51]

Alexandra was late for her first class and it was something she didn't mean to let happen. She was writing a letter to her aunt and didn't think it would take her a long time to get from the owlery to class. Taking a seat near the back, she pulled out her books and her notebook. She chewed on her lip nervously, hoping that she wouldn't lose any points to her house.

[wolfsong]

Selena almost laughed when she saw the board as she came inside the classroom. It was one of the few funniest things that she had seen in her own lifetime. Poor wizard or witch who had an turkey for an animagus.

She took a seat in her own emo corner, slightly chuckling on the way. The loner had taken out her sketchbook and started drawing a turkey on a dinner table at Thanksgiving. Poor turkey.

[invisible729]

That is always, almost, something that some people actually worry about. That is, getting to class early. Violet was not sure when she had entered the classroom whether she was late or not but from the looks of it, she was not. The teacher was not talking, and the lesson hadn't began. Yet.

Violet took a seat and said 'hi' to her cousin and the other people she knew in class, which wasn't a lot.

[nawdavid]

Class I : The Animagus [Basics] &
Why No One Wants to be a Turkey. Or Dinner.

Interesting, thought David as he had stepped inside the classroom. He thought that what they would be talking about his class would be interesting. What's a turkey got to do with anything with this? Maybe 'turkey' was used as an example because it was near Thanksgiving? At least that's what David's thought were. He wasn't sure though if he was correct. Probably what they would be talking about is something opposite of what he is thinking.

The second thing that he had noticed when he had entered the classroom were the people. At least the people he knew because well...he knows them. "Hiya Jasmine!" David said to her and sat down. He wasn't sure though if he is allowed to seat there or something. Maybe it was reserved for someone else. Hmm...[/font][/color]

[ashanti]

Ashanti was running a bit behind on her schedule.She was late for her first class, of the day.Transfiguration.Ashanti walked quickly down the hallway, hoping she could still, be on time to class.As she was almost running, she hoped to be able to make it.Once Ashanti finally reached the classroom door, she opened it quickly and walked in.What she saw surprised her.Shocked was more like the word for it.


Instead of chairs and desks, there were soft comfortable chairs.Was she in the right room? Then she saw the Professor and realized, yes it was the right class.Ashanti then looked around for a open seat.Ashanti saw a group of students all gathered together.One of them she noticed from him being a Hufflepuff (Holden) but she didn't know his name.Two people she knew were in there.One was Levi and the other a new friend Lizzy.But she looked for somewhere to be by herself.Ashanti walked over to go sit near the group, but off to the side a little bit.She got out her notebook and started to write down a few notes for the class lesson.

[Astrid D'aubigne]

Astrid walked in and sat down next to David. She had never met him before, but she had seen him around the castle several times. She glanced at the board and saw that they were going to learn about animagi. Astrid couldn't wait to be able to change into an animagus. She had no idea what form she would take, but she was curious to find out. She sighed softly as she looked at the professor and waited for her to begin.

[stickeen]

Maci stopped abruptly in the threshold to her first transfiguration class. Was she in the right place? She had never seen a classroom that looked as... comfy as this one. But, seeing professor Lupin, Maci shrugged and walked into the classroom.

But she didn't know anyone here... Sighing, the fourth year looked around, trying to find a nice open spot...

Her eyes caught on two girls of her year seated together. Her feet acted before her mind could object, and she found herself standing in front of them. "Hi." she said, a bit shyly, "Mind if I sit here?"

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy sighed to herself and waited as the minutes ticked by until the class started. Quite a few people were actually showing up for class and maybe today she wouldn't have to answer a million and one questions like she usually did in classes.

Looking around she saw quite a few friends, a few people she knew only in classes, and a few new faces she hadn't ever seen around.

[Jackie Lupin]

<sub>As the last bit of students filed in, Jackie tried her best to stand taller, which was hopeless, and moved to stand on top of the table placed in the center of all the pillow/cushion chaos. To get the students attention, she clears her throat and speaks as articulately as possible ... trying her best to ring through to these students that this was hardly a normal lesson. "Well, good morning upper class men. I'm afraid Mr. Halliwell had a life to attend to and therefore, I'll be your new Transfiguration professor. My name's Professor Lupin and let me just lay out some basics for you."

Studying the room, she waits until all discussion is finished before continuing. "The classroom so to speak will be set up like this all term. No desks. No chairs. More of a comfort zone. Don't let that make you think you won't work. Oho, as fun as I like my classes to be, you'll work your most in here, that I promise." Saying this, Lupin hops off the desk and begins to circumference the group, a usual tactic that while it made her dizzy, worked well on her from time to time. "No books. No notebooks. No quills, no ink pots. Only your wands ... and at time baked goods, as we could use some brain food. If I see any books or work material in my classroom, you risk house point deduction. You won't learn as well unless you deal with hands on experiences. Saying this ... all of you stand up, please."

Professor Lupin leaves the circle to head towards an isolated corner where she plants herself, plopping down indian style onto a cushion. "We'll be studying animagus this term. I realize that there is a class for it, but as such, it is a form of transfiguration. Besides ... I'm not teaching you how to go and turn yourselves into animals now, am I?" Winking, she claps her hands once and clears her throat again. "Right! Can anyone tell me what you've learned on the animagus stage in the past with Professor Halliwell?"</sub>

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy perked up as Professor Lupin started the class. Listening intently she made a mental note to leave her heavy Transfiguration textbook in the common room from now on so she didn't have such a load.

They were all instructed to stand up. Oooh. Standing up was different. New. Something better than sitting on their butts all day.

Listening to what they would be studying this term got her interested, but she hadn't had Profesor Halliwell very long last term and they didn't study anything with animagus so that was one question someone else would have to answer instead of her.

[Nicole Lupin]

_{So her sister was a little crazy. Nicole shrugged in her seat. She knew Jackie was crazy. Now, everyone could see it. Smirking, she stands as instructed and listens to Professor Lupin as she says something about no books, notes, etc. Suhweet. Further into the lecture, she hears animagus and woo! Nicole is on board this term. Not really remembering if they touched base on the topic before, she looks around to see if any of the other students remember.}

[xxbrokenheartxx]

"Good, thanks," she muttered to the girl quickly. Then class began. The teacher began talking. At first Aaryn wasn't really paying attention, as usual, but the lady caught her guard. At the end of her little speech, Aaryn was standing as she was told to do. Maybe Aaryn could actually like this teacher. She seemed to know how to teach. The whole no notes/books/whatever thing Aaryn liked. She was never good with notes.

She seemed to notice that students weren't most attentive in lectures, so draw them in and make them have fun. What an intelligent professor. She must have never left student-hood. Aaryn threw away past dislikes. There. Aaryn was being nice. Ooo, not good, eh? Teehee. They were going to study animagus. Hmmm. She wasn't exactly sure how that was going to work, but whatever. She'd have a head start for when she wanted to take the animagus class. [=

[marshalll]

Even though professor Lupin was pretty nice, Levi got the feeling that if you didn't obey immediately your head would be chopped off. That's why he quickly stood up, even though most of the students were still sitting on their lazy butts. The Mihael loved answering questions but he wasn't the right person to address with the question about what he had learned previous classes. Maybe somebody else would remember it, he hoped.

[Kali Rune]

Soon the class had filled up. Kali was surprised to find that there were a lot of students in the classroom. For some people it might not be 'a lot' but to her it is. Probably because she hadn't seen so much people in one room in a long time, at least not in her other classes.

The Professor talked of what they would do. The first thing was the whole, no need to take noted thing, which was good. Next class there wouldn't be a need for quills or parchment, just her wand. Besides, taking notes, although helpful they might be, would be tiring, especially if one has a teacher that enjoys seeing his/her student suffer from writing too much [of course there is none at Trios that Kali believe has done that]

The next talk was about animagus. Has talked about that before? None that the Slytherin could recall, Sure she had heard about it but not in class. There was never a class discussion about it. Or was she not listening? That was something she was not sure about. Does Jade remember anything of it? She wasn't sure either.

[roxy]

Late.

Roxy Hart was late for another class. When would this end,she asked herself? Roxy pulled open the door and slipped into the classroom,hoping that the teacher wouldn't notice. She took in the appearance of the room and took notice of all of the students standing. Roxy maneuvered over to the side,listening to the professor speak.She caught a glimpse of the board and smiled to herself. Roxy glanced around the room again. No chairs.No desks. No books.No quills. Nothing but themselves and their wands. Roxy grinned to herself. She could cooperate with that,considering the fact that she had forgotten everything but her wand that morning. Transfiguration would probably be the only class with acceptance to forgetfullness.

Roxy switched her weight from foot to foot and peered over a students shoulder when the teacher murmured something of Mr.Halliwell having a life to attend to. Did that mean he would no longer be at Hogwarts? Roxy blinked. She guessed so considering the mixture of year levels in the class. At frst, itjust seemed like they were just short upper class students,Now, she could see that there were fourth and fifth years involved.

Remebering her animgus classes,Roxy raised her hand and answered,"To become an animgus,you have to drink a certain potion-that tastest awful,if I may say so myself. After a brief moment,you start to feel a change: Your stomach bubbles almost as if it's filled with spiders eager to get loose. Pretty soon, you can actually feel yourself changing shape and form. I guess it feels different depending on what you become. I became a cat,so I felt my legs shorten,hair englufed my body,the other students looked like giants,and...I had a tail." Roxy said the last part, as if she had become an alien of some sort. She tilted her head to the side and glanced over at the teacher. Becoming an animagus was a very awkward experience, but as stated by Mr.Halliwell, it would feel weird at first, but over time, she would get use to the effects of the potion.

[wolfsong]

Selena had quickly put away her sketchbook, books and quill back into her worn-out school bag as soon as she heard that house points could be deducted if anything of the sort could be seen. Now we can't have that, can we?

Then the Ravenclaw stood up also like the other students with a feeling like she had to obey or else. But now she has nothing but herself, her wand and her memory to help her get through these classes...What had Selena gotten herself into?

Then she hears another student mention a potion that can shapeshift you into a animal? Now the loner was confused since she had read something about a similar potion and wasn't sure if the Gryffindor was correct or not. Hey, she might be right but Selena's memory says something else.

"Um, I think you're talking about the polyjuice potion..."
