Second Years, Lesson Six

"Morning, everyone," Gabrielle greeted, once the students started taking their seats. "Since we're close to exams I'll let you have free reign to study today. Snacks and drinks in the corner," she gestured towards a table with fruit, juice, water...and some sweets. "So feel free to take as many as you like - as long as you don't get any stains on books. You drop it, you clean it. Or replace it, and some of those books aren't cheap, so do be careful. Feel free to chat amongst yourselves - preferably about History, but I'm not going to monitor your conversations." Gabrielle gave a snort of derision at her own comment. Of course she would have preferred the students to revise, but she wasn't going to hold them at wand point to do so. "I want you to try your best on the exams, but I hope that you take time to relax. Remember that it isn't the be all and end all. By Merlin's beard, it's only second year." It probably sounded cheesy coming from her, so she didn't harp on the point. "Anyway, if you have any questions, or just feel like a chat, I'll be right here." She leaned back and drank some more of her coffee, wincing and tapping it with her wand to warm it back up. There was probably not a huge amount of studying going on, but there was more than she expected. After the food table cleared up a bit and the studying lessened, Gabrielle dismissed them with a smile.

[Sunday Weeks]

Sunday couldn't wait for the school break- to get home, and try to wrangle Monday into helping her master her wand. She wasn't sure how she was going to do that, but she was going to try. For now, she had one more round of lessons to get through. Making sure she looked perfect, Sunday walked to class and took her seat. She smiled at the Professor, listening to what he had to say.

Sunday had to admit, Professor Moncrieffe was really a good Professor. She grabbed a small snack and drink, going over her notes carefully until they were dismissed. She hummed under her breath. Feeling confident by the time they were dismissed, she grabbed her things and headed back out again, giving the woman a small, genuine smile.
