[[deleted user]]

"It appears our professor has no intentions to show up," Emma commented, noting that there were only three minutes of class left.

[Naomi]

Annie looked up at the clock. "Apparently not, but I think it's better that way," she smiled, packing up her stuff.

"Well, at least we don't have any homework," Emma said, cramming her textbook back into her overflowing bag which was ready to rip at its seams.

[Rachel]

"Very good point." Gwen commented as she closed her books and put them with her other ones.

[Beck (formerly Boo), (Head Mod) Shut up and eat your pears! ;)]

Svetlana glanced at Emma's bag. "Why don't you put a size enchantment on that thing? It looks as if it's about to puke your books and junk all over the place!"

"I guess I just haven't had the time," Emma said, giving up on her futile attempts to close the bag.

[Rachel]

"Well if you ever get around to it I have a feeling your bag will thank you." Gwen said.

[Beck (formerly Boo), (Head Mod) Shut up and eat your pears! ;)]

Svetlana twisted her mustache. "here" she said, pulling out her wand. She said a spell and the bag expanded. The books stayed normal sized and she grinned.

[Naomi]

"Hey! I have an idea! Let's wear our mustachesfor the rest of the day and see how many people ask us about them," Annie said, jumping up and down with excitement.

[Beck (formerly Boo), (Head Mod) Shut up and eat your pears! ;)]

Svetlana grinned. "You're on" she said with a faint smile.

[Rachel]

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Gwen askec.

[Beck (formerly Boo), (Head Mod) Shut up and eat your pears! ;)]

Svetlana gave Gwen a look "You too"

[Naomi]

"Why of course! But you don't have to if you don't want to......... I guess," Annie faked a sigh, looking at Gwen and Emma with pleading eyes.

[[deleted user]]

"Thanks," Emma said, glancing down at her bag. "And you're on."

[Rachel]

"Fine I guess I'll do it." Gwen said.

[Naomi]

Annie smiled and jumped out of her desk, looked at the clock, and announced that it was time to go. "See you guys tomorrow!" she said happily.

[Beck (formerly Boo), (Head Mod) Shut up and eat your pears! ;)]

Svetlana smiled. "alrighty then. Moustaches unite!"

[Naomi]

Annie smiled widely and walked out the door,her mustache still intact.

[Beck (formerly Boo), (Head Mod) Shut up and eat your pears! ;)]

Svetlana ran a finger over her green moustache, making it sparkly. She then walked out of class, ignoring the stares she got as she walked to her next class

[Rachel]

Gwen got up and headed.out of class. She was hoping the rest of the day would go by quickly.

[Bad Wolf]

Amy looked up from her drawing. "I got my.grandpa,.aunt and uncle." she put in.

[Jan]

Destiny walked into the classroom, ready to learn something new.

[Azure]

But following sneakily behind her was Spirios! She too was in Ancient runes.

[Abigail]

Jennifer walked in and sat down with her book ready to learn all she could

((MONTHS LATER!))

The professor was seated at their desk, waiting for any students who might like to arrive in the last two minutes of the start of class, and finally they rose to close the door and start class. "Hello everyone. I'm pleased to see you all, and I'd like to go ahead and get started. Today we'll be studying all new photos, and I hope we can gain Ravenclaw some points, as it was my old class. Any points will be given- or taken, though! Let's begin." they happily said, closing the tall windows that light flooded through, making the room dark.
A large scroll fell down the wall, and held many old runes. "Who can tell me some information on this?"

[Naomi]

Annie sat at her desk, completely mystified about those strange scribbles she saw on the parchment. When no one answered, she burst out, "Was it records from a great wizarding war or something?"

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

The professor smiled and nodded his head. "Exactly. These are actually from the medieval witch trials. Witches who were discovered were burned. But can you tell me what made these burning fail?" They asked Annie, switching the screen to a torn, black and white photo of an old woman, wearing a pointed hat, tied to a pole while a flames licked the bottom of her heavy black boots.
But instead of a face of pain, the woman seemed to be holding a face of laughter, seeming much too happy for the current situation.

[Bad Wolf]

Natasha entered, and sat in the back. She heard the question and raises her hand.

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

Calmly pointing her way, the professor made it clear that Natasha may answer him. "You?"

[Bad Wolf]

Natasha spoke, her thick Russian accent in every syllable. "Didn't they put a Flame Freezing Charm on the flames?"

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

"Correct. Ten points to your house!" They said happily, changing the scroll with a flick of his wand, showing a young wizard, laughing brightly at the fire. "Who is this? They spent most of their time purposely getting discovered, because they loved the burnings so much."

[Bad Wolf]

Natasha nodded. She again raised her hand.

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

((Tell me her house?))

Thinking Natasha a good student, he again made a motion to assure her she was alright to answer his questions.

[Bad Wolf]

((Slytherin.)) "Wendillen the Wierd." she answered simply and quietly.

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

((You just got ten points for Slytherin then! :D))

A nod was her answer, with a grin that told her the professor was quite proud, as he waved his wand, sending the large scroll back up into it's roll.
The windows opened again, sending blearing bright sunbeams into the room.
"Very good students. Now, I would like to address an issue. Something strange might be seen or heard around the castle soon, if it hasn't been already, I would like to tell you all that, although the creature can be frightening, it's not dangerous." He said calmly, hushing a few students who seemed to be outraged by this. "The creature is small, but can dash from the eye so easily, and has a strange ability to make itself seem bigger... We don't know what it is. But it isn't dangerous."

[Bad Wolf]

Natasha's eyes lit up, so the ice in them seemed brighter than ever. "Oh!" she said quietly, interested in this creature.

[Naomi]

Annie backed up a little against the back of her chair. "What has it done?" she asked the Proffesser.

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

"No need to worry." He told the class, looking at Annie. "It seems as if the creature likes to take things from people in secret. Pick-pocketing, perhaps. It hasn't been known to harm anyone, and while we're looking for it, to let our Gamekeeper put it where it ought to be, we are sure it's nothing but mischievous." He said, clasping his hands over his larger gut. "Possibly a poltergeist. Possibly something else..."

[Bad Wolf]

Natasha smiled evilly at this last mentioneing.

[Azure]

"Probably Peeves!" said Spirios, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

The professor smiled. "Possibly his girlfriend." He snickered, sitting back down at his desk. "Please don't let whatever it is frighten you, though." He said, grinning from ear to ear. "Now. I want to congratulate Gryffindor for their win of the House Cup. Any of you here today?" He asked, glancing around the room.

[Naomi]

Annie shook her head, dissapointed that Hufflepuff hadn't won. "Who came in second?" she asked.

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

"I cant quite remember." He said honestly.

[Bad Wolf]

Natasha looked murderous.

[Holly, Former Head Mod, super cool nerd]

((Natasha scares me.))

[Naomi]

((she scares me too))
Annie took a nervous glance at Natasha. "Oh, okay..."

[Bad Wolf]

((YAY! *cackles evilly*)). Natasha started muttering in Russian to herself

[Naomi]

Annie was surprised to hear another language, having not heard any other than English. "What language is that?" she asked Natasha curiously, forgetting how imposing she seemed.

[Bad Wolf]

"Russian." Natasha said quietly, thinking of her home.

[Naomi]

"Russian!" Annie squealed excitedly. "I've never been to Russia before! Do you like it?"
