I'll Put a Spell on You - Fifth Year

Lisette walked into the classroom with a happy glint in her eyes. In her opinion, this class could only end up two ways. Either they'd finally do something productive like she'd been hoping, or they'd have another massively entertaining train-wreck like they had last time. Either way, she was thrilled to be here.

She found herself a front-row seat. Who knows? she thought with a wry smile, Maybe there'll even be another storm-out. Lisette was loving this far more than she should have been.

Stumbling in, Julian grabbed onto the doorframe, peering in. God, he was so tired. Rubbing his eyes, he yawned, waving at Lissy before staggering over to her, taking the seat beside her.

"Leave me to die," he muttered dramatically, laying his head on the desk, "My social life is in ruins. And all because of our dear friend."

Lisette gave a small giggle, resting her head on one hand, "Don't be so overdramatic. It's not like you've never done anything similar to her..."

"And it doesn't really matter, because you didn't embarrass yourself in front of me," she tilted her head, "Well, you did, but I don't care."

She remembered she was supposed to be consoling him, "And neither does anybody else. Seriously, they'll forget about it by the end of the week."

"But that's different." he muttered, laying a cheek against the desk, frowning at Lisette, "I could've went after anyone at that party. Anybody. Including professors." shuddering slightly, he pointed out, "And at my party, that didn't happen."

Smiling slightly, he said tiredly, "And that's why I keep you around, for you lack of caring when things like this happen to me."

"Oh, they'd better." Julian said, flexing his fingers, smirking slightly, "Or we'll have to give them something else to talk about."

"Oh my god, you're right," she said, just barely holding back an expression of absolute revulsion, "I hadn't thought of that... Maybe Ninette really is crazy," she added, more to herself than to Julian.

The headmaster was there, wasn't he, Lisette had to chase the thought out of her head before she threw up, "I'm definitely talking to her later..."

"Oh Julian," she gasped, pretending to act offended, "Of course I care! I just care in a good way." She smiled satisfied with her answer.

Lisette frowned, watching his fingers in thought. She gasped again, this time a little softer, "What if...
what if I did something? Something outrageous." She grinned, "I mean, it's been a while since there's been a good rumor about me going around, and it would certainly lessen the effect of yours."

"Of course I'm right," Julian smirked, laughing softly. "Well, she does have her moments of craziness. But really," he paused, drumming his fingers against the desk to keep himself from falling asleep, "they're not moments, but more like - oh, I don't even know." Julian shook his head, stifling a yawn, "I'm too tired to think properly."

Nodding, he smiled at her, "Thanks Lissy, you're a lifesaver."

"Well," he smirked slightly, "I'd hate if you cared in a bad way."

Eyes widening, he slowly grinned, sitting up, "You. Are. Amazing." Shaking his head in awe, he smirked slightly, "Now, don't let this get to your head."

Dear...

...Merlin...

...this day...

...would never end!

Ondrea hated attending classes the day after the full moon. Combining that with the first day of classes following break was especially brutal. She was sore, stiff, and sleep-deprived. 'Awful' was an understatement.

Entering the Enchantments classroom, Ondrea's eyes (still amber in color) swept over those present. A gleeful glint shone in her eyes as she noticed Julian. Oh, yes. She had heard all about the Fontaine Christmas party. In hindsight, she was sorry to have missed it.

Moving to the front of the room, Ondrea smiled widely, her gaze resting on Julian a long moment before snapping to Lisette.

"Hello, Lisette," she greeted warmly. "Did you have a nice holiday? You look so lovely, today. Have you done something different with yourself?"

She gave no further indication of even noting the boy's existence.

Harm walked into the classroom in a decidedly foul mood. Her jaw ached from her grinding at teeth at night due to stress, which caused killer migraines that lasted through out the mornings.

It was a morning.

Her eyes looked around the room from left to right slowly, eyes narrowed and accusing. Stormy as ever, the girl sat at the back of the class wordlessly- she knew she'd end up doing something that she regretted later on if she decided to socialise- and kicked her feet up onto the chair before looking down at her nails in silence.

Lisette shrugged, tilting her head and brushing her ear absentmindedly with the back of her quill "Ninette's really a sweetheart," she gave a small smirk, "That is, as long as she's on your side."

She giggled, "Anything for you, my dear." She slowly turned around in her chair to face him completely, an eyebrow raised, "Really, Julian, I'm doing you a favor. I should at least get to use it to inflate my ego."

The girl blinked as she turned to Ondrea, more than a little confused at the girl's behavior. "I... I suppose I'm wearing my hair a little differently than usual," she said softly, with an unconscious smile. Lisette internally shook herself.

Clearly the girl was trying to get something from her. She knew that was the only possible reason behind the complement. Then why was it so flattering? she thought, her smile unwavering.

Shaking his head minutely, he smiled slightly, "Which in my case, is like once a year." Laughing tiredly, he grinned at her, "And staying on her side would take serious work, and I'd much rather not have to watch every word I say around her."

Shrugging, Julian smirked, "Well, I guess it's only fair that I'd do anything for you too." Replacing his smirk with an honest smile, he watched her for a moment before leaning closer, ruffling her dark hair, "Fine then," he sighed dramatically, eyes twinkling. "You may use this opportunity to inflate your ego."

Glancing over at Ondrea, he laid his head back down on his desk. The girl was weird. She ignored him for practically an entire month, but always seemed to find an opportunity to be around him once a month. Shrugging it off, the still tired Prideux glanced over at Harmonie as she entered, giving her a little wave.

Ondrea's smile widened kindly as she noted Lisette's reaction, guessing at what the girl was thinking. Personally, Ondrea blamed her were side - it was just the day after the full moon, after all. Not that she didn't genuinely find Lisette attractive. She just usually wasn't so forward about such things.

"You should always wear it like this," Ondrea said, tone sincere, reaching out a hand to tuck a strand of hair behind Lisette's ear. She allowed her thumb to lightly stroke the side of the girl's face as she did so, as though on accident. "It brings out your beautiful blue eyes."

She leaned a bit further over the desk, gaze finally resting upon Julian, again. "Oh, Jully! I didn't see you there. You were uncharacteristically quiet for once," she addressed the boy.

"Poor guy! Are you tired?" Ondrea asked sweetly, brow puckering in concern. She shook her head admonishingly, "How are you supposed to focus in class like this? You shouldn't let your boyfriend keep you up so late."

The low melodious tones of Yvette's whistling preceeded her into the classroom, her spurs jingling in time as she adjusted her walking speed to the tempo of the tune. She had decided to forego her uniform robes for this class since she was going out again right after class. Whip bouncing against her hip and knife safe in it's leather sheath, one might wonder if Yvette truly belonged in a wizarding school. She looked just so out of place with her green plaid, flannel button up shirt and her thick denim jeans that were scuffed with use.

"Good day, all," she greeted settling gracefully into a seat close to the others. Even though she had spent years on a horse and doing hard labour Yvette was still naturally graceful and there were times she was very glad she was. Leaning back in her chair and kicking her heels up on the desk she tucked her hands behind her head fingers on either side of her braid.

Tilly woke up from a very hungover morning, she was definately not in the mood to be teaching she figured she might just show up and tell them, by the time she dot dressed and had a shower she realised there was only 10 minutes left of the lesson, she she stumbled her way into the classroom seeing only five students there, she figured the rest had left

Tilly walked behind her desk and spread her arms out and rested her head on the desk, her head was absolutely pounding

"Guys, you can just leave no lesson today" she said in a raspy croak
