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 your classwork, 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. And I'll let you in on a secret, even the OWLs aren't going to end up defining the rest of your lives. But don't tell the other professors I told you that." 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 (if there even was much to begin with) lessened, Gabrielle dismissed them with a smile.

Homework
RP the lesson. I will basically accept an attendance post as your RP because of my late posting. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

 

[Huw Carew]

Huw arrived for the last History of Magic lesson which he expected to be a review lesson. He helped himself to some snacks and listened to Professor Moncrieffe tell them that OWLs weren't really that important. Huw wasn't quite sure he agreed if he was to believe every other professor. At the end of the lesson, Huw packed up and left the classroom.

 

[Evan DAramitz]

Evan slid into his seat in the History of Magic Classroom and listened to Professor Moncrieffe tell them that OWLs weren't that important. He gave her a scandalous look. How could the OWLs not be important?! OWLs defined what one could pursue in the Wizarding World, if he had the long and short of it right. He shook his head. Maybe she was just trying to encourage them.

 

[Mania Athanasiou]

Nia was sort of bummed it was already the last lesson before exams, mostly because that meant she had to actually start catching up on the semester's studies, but also because she liked History of Magic and the Professor. Nevertheless she sat down and listened to said Professor's words. Nodding quietly to herself she made note of the snacks, deciding to just go through her notes independently.

 

[Finley Mackintosh Baros]

Finley noticed Nia when he walked in and quickly took a seat beside her, when he couldn't sit with Angelo, he wanted to sit with Nia - since she was his best friend and all. He wondered where Callie had got to though, and looked around for her until he paid attention to the professor and what she had to say.​
