class ?

[Duncan Mowbray]

Duncan arrived for class and found a seat at the front row. Just as before, he made sure he had good view of the board and of the podium. He took out his qils and a parchment and book. He had already read the first two chapters so he was reviewing before class started and awiting to see who else would arrive.

[Brooke Edwards]

Brooke was walking to Transifiguration happily. She was excited for her second class. Herbology yesterday had been a lot of fun and she loved the thought of Transfiguration. She had been reading about it in the common room all morning. Brooke was impressed by all of the Transfiguration Book that she had found in the library.

Brooke's hair was red today, a very deep blood red. She had it in short curls that framed her face. Her eyes were the same blue she had in Herbology yesterday as well. She was also very smilely.

Brooke came to class to find it nearly empty, she guessed that she must have come early. Just as Brooke was about to take her usual seat at the back, she saw Duncan sitting at the very front. Brooke then had an internal battle about whether or not to sit next to Duncan or remain unseen. Unfortunately her crush for Duncan won over and she walked up to the front, feeling nervous as ever, and sat next to him at the first table.

"Hi," Brooke said shyly, sitting down and pulling her books out. "I think this class will be fun," She said awkwardly. She hated herself so much at the present moment. Brooke simply took a deep breath and began fingering through the text-book.

[Duncan Mowbray]

Duncan smiled at her. "Well it will be more fun with a friendly face or two." he replied. "Nice to see you again." he said.

His smile had a noticable difference. His left cheek had a bruise on it, right below the cheek bone. "So one of the things I like to do is have study groups for my subjects." He hung his head. "I've been a little lazy and only read the first two chapters so far."

[Katie Carter]

Katie got there a little early. She saw that the professor wasn't there yet and let out a sigh. She smiled at Duncan and Brooke and went straight to them. "Hi guys ! "

She plomped down with them. "Well, this should work a lot better than the potions class. I think I'll like being in class with my head of house."

[Brooke Edwards]

Brooke looked at Duncan with concern. What was that mark on his face? She was about to ask, but decided not to, because Katie sat down next to her.

"Oh, I'm glad I don't have potions." Brooke admitted. "I have Herbology instead, which is quite nice. Our teacher is pretty strict, but as long as you pay attention she doesn't mind. We officially start the course next week though." Brooke looked down at her book and began looking for a blank piece of parchment to put her notes on.

"How is the Potions Professor?" Brooke asked cusiously. "I hear he's also teaching us Defence Against the Dark Arts as well." Brooke looked back at Duncan and saw his bruise on his face. She took out her quill and wrote, Where did you get that mark on your face? on her parchment, then she subtley tried to hint at it with her eyes, but she probably failed.

[Ceta Nightingale]

Ceta sneaked through the door, she couldn't believe she was late - this never usually happens but she had spent most of the night sneaking around the corridors of Hogwarts in exploration.

Tiptoeing into the room, she looked around and was thankful to see that the Professor was not yet there.

'Phew', she wiped the anxiety from her brow.

She smiled at everyone in the room and told them hello, before taking an empty seat.
Time slowly ticked by and Ceta took out her Daily Prophet to read, she wanted to find out the scores for the latest professional Quidditch match.

Her emerald green eyes scanned the pages, and she laughed at the odd jokes made within articles or rather 'gossip' by their newest journalist.

Another ten minutes had past and Ceta had finished reading the whole Daily Prophet, plus she was about to fall asleep from lack of it the night before.

"Erm, guys?" she asked the others "Anyone know where our Professor is?"

[Duncan Mowbray]

"No idea." Duncan replied. "I wonder how long we have to wait."
He looked around. "I don't like just waiting." He took out his wand and cast a spell on a parchment and it reshaped itself and looked like an arogami bird. With another spell he sent it flying and chirping around the room.

[Brooke Edwards]

Brooke begin to get so bored that she started to switch noses. She started with a long pointed one, then made it incredibly small. She was having fun concentrating on something else.

When the new girl entered, Brooke realized that she nad never met her before. Brooke made her nose look normal and she turned around to the other girl. She smiled, noticing her Griffindor robes.

"Hi," Brooke said softly. "I don't believe we've met. My name is Brooke Edwards. What's yours?" Brooke then though about how she must sound stupid. What's yours? That is so elementary school. She tried to hide the fact that she was blushing.

"Maybe we should tell someone..." Brooke thought, when she noticed how long it took for the teacher to come. Maybe there was no Transfiguration.

[Duncan Mowbray]

"I think we should all get out of here." Duncan said as he gathered his gear. "I believe we have officially been abandon or forgotten. We've waited over an hour and if Professor Fandale wants to complain we complain to the headmaster."

Duncan looked annoyed "I think I'd like to complain anyway. This is bogus."

Then his expression changed. He pulled out a roll of parchment. "This is sign-up sheet for a club - ancient magicks and mysteries. Anybody wanna sign on ?"

[Brooke Edwards]

Brooke began to pack her things up right away. She was quite upset that there was no Transfiguration class. She had really been looking forward too it. She put her stuff away slowly and put her wand in her pocket. She changed her hair to black and let it fall straight around her face. Brooke gave Duncan one last smile and then turned to walk out of the room.

Then she heard Duncan's comment about a sign-up for his club. Brooke began to dig through her bag for her quill. She pulled it out and put her name at the top, writing quickly and enthusiastically.

"See you there then," Brooke laughed, looking at Duncan. She then turned around and walked out of the class towards th Hufflepuff Commonroom.
