First topic message reminder :

Oddie walked into her classroom and looked around. There wasn't any srtudents there ready to learn the basics on magical creatures. She walked over to her desk and placed a large conatiner on top of the many papers that littered the desk. She conatiner shook a little nit before resting.

"Calm down no one's hurting you" Oddie said to the creature guessing that it eas startled when she placed it onto the desk top. The bump probably woke it up from it's deep slumber. Oddie would open the case and let the creature out but she wanted it to be a surprise for the class.

Oddie turned around and sat down at her desk. moved the papers around so that the container wasnt sitting on them. She didnt know if they were important or not and would have to look through them later. "Now to wait for the students to arrive" She whispered to herself as she watched for the door to open.

Just than Oddie heard urgent voices behind her and turning over to Alice's and Stephaine's direstion she saw that they were acting strange. Oddie rushed over to them both and turned to Alice.

"What is wrong with her?" Oddie asked her but than all of a sudden Stephaine opened her eyes and looked fine. "Are you okay?" Oddie asked her scared.

(ok sorry if i am getting you confused but your getting the characters mixed up stephaine was giving the direction)
"she was having a flash back" Stephaine said calmly as if it was the most normal thing on the face of the planet. Alice looked inecent sitting calmly in her chair before she spoke up.
"yes something jogged my mind of a repressed memory making me almost feel like i was in itand it just so happened to be a horibal memory this time so thats what was happening" Alice said explaining everything. Stephaine looked shocked she had never told any one these things except to her and Jona who were her family sience forever so just to come clean must have been terraibly difficult for her.

(Opps... Im sorry)

"Maybe you should go to the hospital wing." Oddie said sounding worried. "Just get a quick check and than you both can go back to your common room."

"no i'm ok it happened a million times plus the last thing i need to do is visit blood" she said not concerned.
"ya theres really no need to be concerned its completely normal well as normal as she can get" stephaine joked. Alice giggled in aggreement.

Oddie gave them both a weak smile and was about to tell them once again to go but she knew it would be useless. They didnt want to go and they werent going to. "Well if you sure your okay than I guess we can continue on with the rest of class." Oddie said as she flicked her wand and the notes on the board vanished and was replaced with writing from the chalk. It said Future topics: Werewolf.

"Anything else you would like to learn about?" Oddie asked the class

"um i would love to learn about unicorns" alice said abrutly.
"raimbow and buterflys" stephaine commented to Alice.

"Aw unicorns" Oddie said as that word appeared on the board. "I should be able to bring one to class, or should I say bring the class to one. I dont know if I will be able to get an adult or even a baby. Any other suggestions?"

the two of them giggled at the thought of a unicorn in class.

"Thestrals!" Lolly exclaimed as she stopped doodling.
"Lolly?" Cindy was worried.
"Thestrals are interesting, so why not?"
"Why not hippogriffs instead of thestrals?Or even cornish pixies or dragons?"
Lolly looked at Cindy. "Why are you so worried, they won't hurt you."
Cindy just shrugged, she is still worried. She wanted to forget something but thestrals remind her that. Lolly is her best friend, though she haven't told her that past she've had.

"Thestrals, Hippogriphs, Sornish Pixies and dragons all sound good" Oddie said as the chalk wrote each of them down. "I know for sure I'll be able to get a dragon in here for class" she said grinning. "As for the thestrals I dont know how many people would be able to see them so I might not bring any into class if I can't get one easily."

Alice and Stephaine looked down into there notebooks. they both new that they would be able to see them clear as the sun. they both had seen many people die over many instances.

Cindy was relieved that they'll not be brought to a thestral, or a thestral be brought to them. She can talk about them, she think.

Lolly wrote everything in her parchment, which is now full of doodles.

Oddie looked down at her watch and saw that class was coming to an end. She flicked her wand and the board was cleared of it's writing and the chalk fell onto the slate. She than looked over to her class and said "Now for homework I want you to write me an essay on what you learned here. The longer it is the more points you shall recieve. Class is now dismiss and I hope to see you all here tomorrow" she said smiling and wavign ehr class.

Cindy and Lolly stood up as the professor announced their dismissal.

"Oh my! An essay. I have not written a good one for ages. I think I might be needing your help Lolly."

They paced and went out of the room.

Oddie watched as her class left and she closed the container the bird was in and took it back into her office. Her friend was suppose to come tonight and get it. Now all she ahd to do was prepare for her class.

~~~~~~~~~NExt class day~~~~~~~~~~

Oddie walked itno her class and placed onto her desk a box. Since there was no one in the room at the momet she could hear the critters inside beating their wings as they flew around the box. She knew that this creature would be hassle so she placed a spell on them so that they couldnt harm the kids in the class. Oddie walked over to the chalkboard and flickering her wand the chalk was ready to start writing.

Alice and stephaine entered sneakaliy again and lsid in to the back to seats like the day before.
"so when are you going to give me my hand nag back?" stephaine asked looking at Alice who was using her channele bag.
"once you give me my red stelletoes back" she said glancing down at stephaines feet.
"well then we will switch right now" she said sliding the shoes of and grabbing the bag forsevelly.
"now you have no shoes i have two pairs and not a bag to put them in" alice pointed out.
"ok switch back we will give them back at lunch when we have extras" Alice rolled her eyes at stephaine who was now sliding the fancy heals baack onto her to big feet.

Cindy and Lolly entered the room the next day, and marched straight to the same desk they've been in yesterday.

"Oh, I forgot to bring my parchments."
"Don't worry Cindy I have lots in here, I can give you one." they sat side by side.

Oddie saw that her students were arriving so she stood up and said "Class if you have your homework just place it on my desk." she saited til her students placed their papers on her desk and made it back to their seats before she spoke aagin.

"Can anyone guess what's in the box this time?" Oddie asked her class. The buzzing was coming louder from the box as if the creatures inside knew that they were going to be releashed soon. She was glad that there was a spell on them so that they couldn't harm the students or it could of gone wrong. She heard about how a previous teacher brought these creatures in and couldn't even get them back itno their cage. She chuckled quietly to herself as she thought about how the teacher must of reacted.

"um excuse me but are we going to be playing this guessing game everyday?" stephaine asked.
"are they pixies ?" Alice asked hoping that everyone else would ignore what stephaine said like she did every once in a while.

"I just thought that it would be fun to try to guess what I brough but if you think that it's annoying Ill just stop" Oddie said to Stephaine.

She than turned to Alice and said "You are right it is Pixies. Does anyone know anything about them?" she asked the class

Alice and stephaine giggled quitly.
"oh we know are decent amount of pixie information" they both said simotaniusly thinking back to Jonas and Alices killer pixie prank.

After placing their assignments on the professor's desk Cindy and Lolly.

"Glad I've done the assignment last night." Cindy whispered to Lolly as they headed back to their seats.

With the thought that pixies were what the professor have now brought to the class, Lolly stared at the box and abruptly she asked, "What kind of pixies are in there professor?"

Cindy looked at Lolly then to the professor then away from everyone. "Here we go again."

Lolly heard Cindy, but she didn't minded her, she looked at the professor and started, "Well, if it were Cornish Pixies you are referring then they are naughty little fairies that create havoc." She then started to feel nervous, her eyes widened and abruptly took her quill and doodled on her parchment to continue. "A Pixie is a small, bright blue mischief-maker, and loves tricks
and practical jokes. It is able to fly, despite being wingless, and
enjoys lifting people up by their ears and depositing them on the tops
of trees and buildings. Pixies can only communicate with other pixies.
Their voices are so shrill it was like listening to a lot
of arguing budgies. They bear live young."

"Yes they are pixies" Oddie said grinning. She was impressed by how much Lolly knew. "And they are Cornish Pixies to be exact." As Lolly was saying what all she knew about them the chalk on the board started to go crazy as it tried to write down everything that she said.

"I'm starting to feel like your teaching the class instead of me and I'm jsut providing you with the animals" Oddie joked. "Well these groups of Pixies will be on their best behavior" Oddie said tapping the box and it became transparent so that everyone would be able to see the Pixies flying around, hitting the edges. "I have placed a charm on them so if they try to attack they will end up hitting a wall and won't think twice about trying to again."

"what will happen if i attack will i hit a wall" Stephaine joked.
"shut up" Alice rolled her eyes then giggled to at Stephaines coment. They both scribbled down the notes on the board and waited to see exactly what they were suppose to be learning about.

"If you attack they might try to attack back but thanks to the spell I put on them they wont be able to. Put please dont hurt them, I have to return them to their owner." she said as she tapped the box that they were in and many little pixies flew out and scattered around the room. Oddie than placed a spell on the room so that they wouldnt be able to excape out the window or even the door.

"Now class I would like you to try to catch one and draw it." Oddie said beaming. :You might want to get into groups and work together to do this. Both of you try to catch one, than while one of you old the creature the other will have to draw it. Try to be accerate in your drawsing though."

"catch and draw wich one do you want" Stephaine asked a glemm in her eye.
"i will draw i am better at it plus i can see you want action" she giggled. Stephaine smiled.
"please dont hurt it just catch it were not in the field" Alice reminded her but stephaine wasnt listening she to two steps leaped into the air and grabed ones wings She landed softly ddown next to alice.
"get your scetch book ready" They giggled. Alice pulled out her scetch book and angrelt scribbled across the page she detailed it to everylats scale of skin on the creature. After a while she finished then took the creature in her cupped hands and threw it up to fly.
"tada!" she intergetically said revealing her master peice to Stephaine.
"ooh pretty" she quickly replied.

Oddie watched as her students worked together to try to catch the creatures. She saw a few of the pixies fly about in front of her bnut she didn't flintch. She would of have in the wild though, if she came across a pixie in the wild she knew that she wouldnt stay there for long. These creatures can be quiet nasty. She looked around the room and saw that her students were doing well and was glad that the pixies had a spell on them so that they couldnt hurt the other students or some people might get hurt.

"Once your done drawing thwm just sit in your seat so I knwo" Oddie called out to the class

After the teachers comand Stephaine and Alice sat down.
"know what i realized?" Alice asked waiting for the class to be over.
"what Alice" she said as if it was a cheesy movie.
"we never shut up" she said still playing along with the i am reading off of a script feel. they both soon cracked up in laughter unable to containe them selves but sooner then later stoped.

Oddie looked at her watch and saw that the end of class was coming soon. She than looked up and saw students now getting to their seats. She tahn waved her wand and all of the pixies were forced back into the box which closed itself once it was sure alll of them were inside. Oddie than looked around the class and said "Using your books I want you all to label the part of the pixie and hand it all in for tomorrow. Until the bell rings you can work on your labeling or you can talk."

"it looks like homework or chat is are options" Stephaine said like it was an option.
"hmm let me think talk and have a sleepless night or do homework and have a talkless day" Alice said and then they both started giggaling.

Oddie looked around her class and saw some of her students working on their homework but a lot of them were just talking. I should of know they would choose to talk she thought to herself as she walked around her desk and staretd looking through the papers. There was the homework that was just handed in the morning aklong with other papers. She just placed them all into her desk and looked up to see what her srudents were up to

"ok so you have to tell me all about your romantic eving with the prince of handsom ness who swooped you off your feet so badley you took him to your secret garden in are meadow" Alice asked remebering the moment clearly.
"well his name is demitri and he used to be a pirate but now.." alice cut steph off mid sentance.
"demitri?" she asked her alices eyes expanded.
"ya why"
"no reason continue"

Oddie sat there and heard a little bit of what Alice and Stephaine was saying but she didnt want to evesdriop on thier converstaion so she started to go through some more papers on her desk

"ok so he is always talking about fate and true love and his eve and it was so romantic he is perfact and my heart just melts when i see him. he is amazing" Stephaine said sighing at memory of him alice bit her lip.
"so he was a pirate do you think you can trust him?" she said trying to move her view on him.
"well thats the thing he isnt any more and i tottally trust him wait why?" she said catching on to the trend.
"oh no reason just wondering after all it was only one date right and it wasnt even afficial?" Alice said trying to cover up for what she said.

After going through a stack of papers, Oddie finally ran out of things to do so she got to her feet and started to walk around the classroom. She tyhan came to Alice and Stephaine's table and heard them talking about some guy. Not wanting to be rude, Oddie walked over to them and said "Hello girls. How's the assignment coming?" she asked knowing they hadnt even started on it.

"well we will.." stephaine started but Alice quickly interupted her.
"its fine but we will probibly do most of it for homework we have alot of time tonight so we havnt got much of it done" alice said kinda explaineing and quitly gave Stephaine a warning glance not to say anything.

"Well so long as you get it done by tomorrow I dont mind if you take the rest of class to chat" Oddie said giving them a warm smile.

Alice smiled back then elbowed Stephaine to smile but the teacher only got a dramatically sarchastic smile. Alice sighed.
do you have to be that way? she thought to her cuisin.
"yes she said nicely so it could anserw alices question and be askeing another one or agreeing.

Oddie walked back over to her desk knowing that the students probably didn't want her to be arounf while they talked. Instead she tjhought now would be the perfect time to figure out what tomorrow's lesson plans were

"ok say continue" Alice said bitting her lip.
"ok so he and i talked about lots of stuff he pushed me on the swing and then we had to leave but the whole time he was so charming it was like a dream!" she exclaimed clearly happy alice said nothing how could she tell Stephaine that he is the reason Jona has Ava.

Just than the bell rang to indicate the end of the lesson and Oddie jumped to her feet,

"Dont forget to do your homework" She said to them as they gathered their things to leave. "Make sure you have everything labeled."

"Yay!!" stephaine exclaimed.
"dont be rude" alice insited not exactly a smile but not exactly a frown on her face.
"sorry i am just exsited i get to see Demitri again" She said almost bouncing with enthusiasim.
"ya um Ste[h i need to tell you something" Alice said as they walked out of the room.
"demitri is Avas dad"

Oddie watched as her students left and next she had a break so she was able to slip into the teacher lounge and grab a bite to eat. She would prepare her classes for tomorrow than in the lounge with she was eating

"wholy shitzu no way i will ask him it cant be" stephaine insisted.
"ok well i got to get going see ya in like a cupple of hours knowing you" alice said walking in stinky other direction.

Oddie walked into her classroom yet again. She sat at her desk like usual and waited for her students to appear. She flicked her wand as she was waiting and it started to write some words on the board. Instead of starting class like she usually did she was going to wait until the entire class was there and release the creature right away. She grinned at the thought of thier reactions and looked at the board that said "Turn in homework"

Alice and stephaine entered wincing at the room; they both placed a stack of pappers on the desk then quickly scurried to the back of the room.

Oddie looked at the stack of papers they placed on her desk and waved her wand. They floated up and flew down into her bag neatly into place.

"Thank you" Oddie said as she watched them take thier seat. She resumed sitting there wiating to see if more students were to arrive before the lesson started

Alice and stephaine herd her coment but were all the way across the room by that point and diceded not to yell across the class room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oddie walked into her classroom. the last time she was in here it was just ebfore the students left for summer. After having to deal with Mathew whinning and pouting she had a good feelign that he might be in her class today. After taking with the Headmaster, oddie was able to have Mathew come back to school even though he had just finished his seventh year last year, She didn't know why Mathew wanted to come to schoo again but he pouted and cried until they let him.

Now Oddie was in her classroom getting her things together. After much thought she finally thought of a good first lesson but after this one her students might find it to be a bit boring but she wanted to wow her students on her first day back from summer. Oddie stood by the door waiting for her sudents to come. Today's lesson was outside and the moment her first student walked in she said "Don't get your stuff out because today we are going outside"

Alice once again had managed to bomb care of magical creatures and had to take it again it seemed to be the one class she never got in trubble in and yet she couldnt pass it. once again she walked through the hallway down to the all to familiar class room threshold.
"Ello" she greeted oddie and began to walk into the class.
