holy homorphus - lesson three

Settling her eyes over the classroom, Lena tried to plaster a small smile on her face. But she found it hard to do so. All she could do was scowl, and she settled into a seat at the front opening her moleskine and reading it through.

Caleb walked in and was shocked to see only one other person here. Caleb shook his head. "Damn, what the hell is with people and not showing up for class" Caleb joked and shook his head. "So how you doing Lena" Caleb asked as he sat on top of the table in front of her and had his feet resting on the chair in front of him.

Thomas threw a paper ball at Caleb and walked the rest of the way into the classroom. Thomas got to Caleb's side. "Would you leave her alone already, no wonder why your not dating anyone" Thomas shook his head at his friend. "He really is harmless but he is more annoying" Thomas looked at Lena.

Lena pursed her lips before replying to the Slytherin who she believed was Caleb. "I suppose I am well," she replied, trying not to let herself yell at him. Not to mention it was none of his business anyway, to know how she was doing.

The Uchitel laughed at the other Slytherin - who she believed was Thomas - in a gentle manner. "Well, I'm a singleton too!" she piped up, mentally gaping at her light British accent.

Paloma sneezed as she walked into the classroom. She'd taken some Pepperup Potion her mother insisted on keeping in her trunk - even though Paloma had told her about a million times that they had good healers at school -, but the cold didn't seem to be going away, and, instead, she actually started sneezing more, making her think she was newly-allergic to something there. She assumed it would just take some time for the potion to actually cure anything.

Steam wasn't coming out of her ears as frequently as they were right after she took it, though it would a bit when she sneezed or coughed. The Uchitel saw three students already in class and made her way over to them, smiling slightly as she sat down.

"Hello," Paloma greeted.

Adele grinned as she entered the class, bouncing all over the place - or so it seemed. She circled the classroom, looking for somewhere to sit. She eventually sat next to the blonde girl who had comforted her a few weeks back, and she seemed kind of sick. She tilted her head curiously, trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Are you okay?" the Gryffindor girl asked slowly, her voice extremely low, quieter than a whisper, yet still audible.

Lenora walked into the class. "Hello everyone, welcome back to a new term. I hope everyone had a great break. Now we will start with the Homorphus charm, can any of you tell me what that charm does" Lenora looked at all her students waiting for the answer.

Paloma turned her head when she heard a voice next to her and nodded to the girl sititng beside her, giving her a small smile. "I'm fine," she said, "It's just a stupid cold."

With a small laugh, she shook her head, "It's okay, Anya, I'm alright. I can't miss class." Paloma sneezed, covering her face with a tissue as she did so, and more steam came out of her ears, but the girl just sighed and looked at her friend again. "I already took some potion, anyway, I'm fine."

She turned around when the professor walked in and put her wand on the table, ready for when they started practicing whichever spell they were learning.

"The Homorphus charm transfigures most things back to their original state such, as Animagi or transfigured objects," Paloma answered, wondering if it would be best to add more.

Iva strolled in to the class, unaffected by her own lateness. She threw her book down and grinned at the professor.

"Sorry I am the late," she lied, "I will try harder next time, I promise,"

She leaned herself on to a chair, her legs seemingly sore. Her face had a bit of a grey tone now, as if she was falling sick again.
