1st Blood Tablet

[controlstheice]

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class
[For those who were use to another teacher will be getting a surprise when a blond vampire, who still looked like he should be in his final year of school and not teaching it walked in and toward the front. As he got to his desk he turned around, putting the book on the table, before giving a wide smile. It was almost like he could sparkle if he smiled any more.]

Welcome to class~ I'm Hanabusa Aidou and I will be your new teacher. Now open your books and we'll get right now to business, okay?

[He was quick to move though and close each and every curtain. Even though he is fine in the sunlight. He just finds it bothersome at best. The candles that are around should be enough light.]

Great Hall
[Aidou really was use to the finer things in life. Fancy food and clothes, so when he had seen what was on offer his face dropped slightly. Really, what the heck was even half of this stuff and how on earth did people willingly eat such things. He couldn't help but push his plate away, he wasn't going to eat any of the main stuff at least, but he knew he had to wait for the dessert and maybe later other things if he was allowed.]

Corridors at Night
[Aidou was more than happy to do the night shifts when it comes to making sure students were in there dorms and not wondering the corridors. It helped for him to use that time also to do what he deep down wanted to. After all there were no blood tablets so he had to get his blood elsewhere. But the how he would do it was another matter altogether.]

Corridors!

[ginto]

[ Being the newly appointed Groundskeeper is hard work, to say the least. Although Jiro mostly sleeps the days away, the nights are when he's most active on the grounds in general. In fact, for the time being he's inside to try and warm up at least a little before getting back to work.

The footsteps he hears are unexpected, and he frowns a little at the blond while trying to place where he's seen him before.

Ah, right. This man is new on the staff, just like him. Jiro can't help wearing a slight smirk then, shaking his head at himself. ]

For a moment I thought you might have been a student. You are Hanabusa, correct?

Corridors!

[controlstheice]

[For being told he could have been confused for a student... Aidou kept that as a compliment more than anything.]

Of course you would confuse me for a student because I look so young. However I am eighteen, which I guess is still odd, but of course they hired a genius so it doesn't matter.

[He was pretty smug in that aspect.]

But yes, Hanabusa is my name, though most people call me Aidou, or Idol.

[ginto]

My, that is quite young. It's also quite impressive, I will hand that to you.

[ He manages a pleasant smile. At least for now he can play nice, if only to help set an example even when he's not under observation by that person. ]

I am Jiro Mochizuki. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Aidou.

[controlstheice]

Why thank you. But considering I'm a child genius it's impressive to others.

[He gives a slight smile before looking to the side.]

So do you teach or another job around here?

[Kotaro is expecting the other woman who most definitely didn't like vampires. When he spots the boy he almost thinks they could be brothers except that he knows that bloodlines don't work that way.

He takes a seat towards the front of the class looking up at the teacher in awe. He raises his hand instantly leaving his book closed.]

What happened to the old teacher?

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

[controlstheice]

[He paused for a moment, looking over slightly.]

She had to return home, or something. I didn't ask nor do I know.

[He shrugged it off pretty quickly and soon the smile was back on.]

But never mind, right now it doesn't matter. Learning is all that does.

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

[son_of_eve]

Oh. okay...

[He pauses for a moment and then raises his hand again.]

Then how do you feel about Vampires?

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class

[controlstheice]

[He looked over at him, such... an odd question and not one he ever actually expected.]

How do I feel? I'm okay with vampires. There is nothing wrong with them. Though why do you ask?

Corridors at Night

[greenmagick]

[Terra is also out tonight though it isn't to catch students wandering the halls at night. She's constantly plagued with nightmares of war and battle that are remnants from her life before this one.

Dark blue robes drape over her nightdress as she moves towards the hospital wing hoping that the potion master has made a fresh brew of the potion she needs to help her sleep. Her boots echo softly through the hallway as she moves only to pause when she hears someone else. She turns down another hallway, her bright blue eyes scanning the halls for what she assumes is a student.]

Who's there?

Corridors at Night

[controlstheice]

[He was quick to stop his patrol and look over. Ah, a beautiful young lady. He knew he could at least have some fun while he was here and maybe in the future... Well Kaname wasn't here to stop him, so who knew what could happen. Best to put on the charm right now.]

Ah, such a beautiful flower wandering the corridors at night. What brings you to the shadows?

Corridors at Night

[greenmagick]

[Terra's eye gleamed in the darkness as she let her eyes fix on the boy. She hasn't met the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher.]

Students shouldn't be out of bed at this hour.

[Her tone is soft but there is a slight edge to her kindness.]

Corridors at Night

[controlstheice]

[She couldn't help but sigh slightly.]

I am not a student, I'm a teacher here.

[He lost count of the number of times he;s been asked though. It was nice, but after a while... especially by a lovely lady.]

Are you a teacher yourself? because I wouldn't be surprised.

DADA Class - 4th years

[enchantressofore]

[ A new teacher? That's surprising, but then again she didn't exactly pay the old one the respect she deserved... When was the last time she actually gave a crap about classes?

Still, it's impossible to mask a yawn as he gets back to the front after closing the curtains. It's a slow process to get back to being herself in her normal routine, meaning that she still hasn't been sleeping well, and the fact that they're about to do a reading again means that she's probably going to have an even harder time staying awake.

What page is it that they're supposed to turn to? Frowning, Adela tries to listen for what he's talking about to see if she can find the page, but... The warmth of the candles and the dark of the class aside from candlelight are a little too tempting. His voice is smooth too, relaxing to listen to... In fact, at some point in the lesson she starts pinching the back of her hand just to try and stay awake, her head jerking every single time she starts to nod off.

About halfway through the lesson it's all in vain as she finally does doze off entirely, breathing soft. True only the back row could see her as she's in the corner in the back row, but unfortunately it's also in plain view of their new teacher. ]

DADA Class - 4th years

[controlstheice]

[Aidou had been discussing something, while walking around. So he had been quick to notice someone sleeping soundly. He used this opportunity to walk on over to the desk, and lean over slightly. All the while a small smile placed upon his face.]

My dear, while you sleep you defiantly give off such a pleasant smell.

[The students had all started to turn and look over, yep it's not obvious everyone is watching.]

DADA Class - 4th years

[enchantressofore]

[ Maybe it's the fact that someone is in her space, or the uncomfortable position of sitting up even with her chin rested in her hand, but with a jolt she rouses and blinks awake...

Though it takes her a second to realize that there's someone in front of her.

She jumps, unable to completely mask the surprised noise she makes before she sits up straight, feeling more than a little mortified. ]

U-Uh... I... Professor Hanabusa, I... Crap, how long was I asleep...

[ This is so embarrassing why does this have to happen to her!? ]

DADA Class - 4th years

[controlstheice]

You were asleep for...I believe five minutes.

[He had moved to stand up straight now that she was awake and yes, some students were starting to whisper to one another.]

I can understand being tired in the mornings, believe me. But maybe for breakfast next time you could have a coffee or something to wake you up.

[Rin watches unimpressed, as the new teacher introduces himself, thinking of how stupid it is. Changing the teacher mid-year, what kind of idea is that? Well, whatever. He hopes this... young man (honestly he looks more their age than any other professor's including Prof. Branford) can teach them adequately for OWLs. And not only for that. He needs perfect marks in the subect, if he wants to pass as eligible for Auror training.

Rin opens his book as told, raising his hand and waits to be called out.]

What's going to be next in our curriculum Professor?

[A normal question any student would ask a new teacher to prepare himself sufficiently, but Rin's intentions are sightly more than that.]

A

[controlstheice]

[He paused for a moment, he had been given a list of things he was meant to teach and he had thankfully managed to skim and memorise everything. However, he expected that he didn't want to give it away as to make it too easy. However he does hold up a piece of paper.]

I have the list right here, but instead of actually telling you. I will instead give you a surprise test. See how fresh your mind is right now. Without looking at any book, so please close them.

[olympic_shark]

[Oh fuck this, he and his big mouth. Rin's unimpressed expression changes into an annoyed on quickly and he closes his book. He already hates this new teacher. At least he thinks he's safe enough for now. If he doesn't count his recent slack, he's learned continously, so he should be fine. Hopefully. His mind starts listing the counter jinxes they've learned so far and the differences between them and their effectiveness.]

Great Hall

[revenge_driven]

[Seeing the new teacher and the fancier tastes, Ciel couldn't help but look. If he hadn't been wearing his robes, he would have been wearing similar fancy clothing. Or rather... for his time period. He definitely gave off the air of an aristocrat. Disregarding proper seating via houses, he decided to take a site near him.

Staring at the food absent mindedly, he was getting used to this food but... nothing would beat Sebastian's cooking. He couldn't help but miss him for various reasons. He was his reliable butler, after all... Not because he would miss him for any other reason besides that or anything...]

I keep wondering if the food will ever get better....

Great Hall

[controlstheice]

[Aidou felt a lot better in knowing he was not the only one who disliked.... whatever the hell this was. he couldn't be certain, but well... at least the deserts looked a lot better.]

So it's always like this?

[revenge_driven]

As far as I can tell, but it's not the worst I've had to eat before... So I guess I can't complain too much. They don't have very good quality tea here though.

Great Hall

[foodhoarder]

[But look at this girl go! Apparently she doesn't find anything wrong with the food. Food sweet food~]

Great Hall

[controlstheice]

[Serious, who taught this one how to eat? That is the worse thing about it. Seriously thought where does it all go?]

Remember to eat slowly. Don't want to choke or anything.

[foodhoarder]

I'm fine, really! The food is just really delicious.
