DADA Classroom

[Lightning tended to have most of her meals in the classroom. She wasn't much of a social person. Since she was a teacher, she had the option of taking her meals wherever, and grading the assignments at the same time.

There's quite a stack this time. Currently she was going over the previous school years essays to see if they had been given a satisfactory grade. Not that she could change them now. It was mostly for ideas.

If a student or a fellow teacher wants to bug her, go for it. She might be willing to have a bit of a conversation. Or she might just use her cat, Loki, to chase you out of the room.]

The Lake

[Having grown up most of her life on island before this place, the lake reminds her of home. Even as a student, she would come here to get away from everyone. This was also a good place to fine tune her curriculum for the upcoming school year.

Feel free to bother her. You might get a head start on what's coming up.]

DADA Classroom

[crystal_stasis]

[Usually students had to eat in the Great Hall, but Serah asked if it was okay to eat elsewhere. Once they found out she was going to see her sister, they decided it would be okay on a rare occasion. So while lightning was busy grading pictures, Serah entered the classroom with her own food.]

Hey, sis. Are you busy? Do you mind if I eat with you?

[savioring]

[She looks up and gives her sister a small smile. Picking up her wand, Light gives it a small wave to move a stack of papers to the other desk.]

Don't want to spend time with your housemates tonight?

[Was something up with Serah?]

[crystal_stasis]

Well, I figured I don't get to spend as much time with you as I used to. I'll see them later tonight.

[Going over to take a seat.]

[savioring]

Alright.

[Still, it was the summer holiday...]

I was thinking of going to Diagon Alley to get up on a few books, and some new quills. [Shooting a glance at Loki, who didn't seem to care.] Did you want to come along? We could finish getting your school supplies... and a pet, if you'd like.

[crystal_stasis]

Yeah. That would be great. I still need to get the rest of my stuff anyways.

[And a pet. She would like one...]

Is that really okay?

[She just didn't want to trouble her. She didn't particularly need a pet, but it would be nice.]

DADA Classroom

[unbridledtiger]

[There is a soft knock on the door as Seth steps into the room. He doesn't want to bother her, considering it's lunch time, but he knows she'll most likely be here or in the Great Hall and he had already checked there first. Seth is older than most students and should probably not even be in school yet he's enrolled as a first year.

Which means a lot of catching up.

He steps in the room with his hands in his pockets. He doesn't wear his robes unless he has too so it's just paints and a white button down for now. He's almost expecting to get yelled at about it at some point. Bright eye eyes land on Lighting in a moment of consideration before he spoke.]

Could I borrow a minute of your time?

[savioring]

[Lightning looks up at the young man who's entered the room. She nods and sits up straighter. It's just a student.]

How can I help you?

[unbridledtiger]

I'm coming in a little late and I wanted to know if you could look over my notes?

[He holds up a notebook with a small smile. She seems so serious though he isn't one to judge. He's been alive for longer than most and so patience came easy.]

If you have the time, of course. I don't with to ruin your meal.

[savioring]

[She squeezes the bridge of her nose before waving him over.]

It's fine. Are you trying to get ahead for classes?

[unbridledtiger]

[He can't help but smile at her gesture.]

That's right. I'm technically a sixth year transfer. [Who looks like a 22 year old but that is beside the point.]

There are a few classes I didn't get though the book does well for playing catch up.

DADA Classroom

[princessmoonrabbit]

[Usagi thought she might as well see what the classrooms would be like for whatever lessons she was going to take. Sure she was put in a year she didn't think she should be in since she knew nothing about any of the lessons or what they were going to be taught, but at this was the best way.

Poking her head in she looked around before realizing there was someone else in here.]

Oh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what the classrooms were like.

[savioring]

[Lightning looks up from the essay she was reading, wanting to do nothing more than set it on fire. Ah. This was a new student.]

It's alright to come in. Unless you break something, I see no reason why you can't look around.

[princessmoonrabbit]

I promise I won't break anything.

[What was there to break anyway? She started walking into the class rom, looking around.]

Is it okay to ask what classroom this is?

[savioring]

[There will be breakable things once the school year starts.]

Defense Against the Dark Arts. Or DADA. I'm the professor.

[princessmoonrabbit]

Ah, it's nice to meet the professor.

[This was one of the classes she had on her list of classes she was meant to be taking when the school year started.]

So what will this class be about?

The Lake

[devilishkaoru]

[Kaoru was bored and what better way to pass the time than to throw rocks at the lake and see what happens. After the first two skim across the water he went to sit down, he had gotten bored again rather quickly. Where was whatever was under the water when one wanted to be entertained.

With a small sigh he glanced around, seeing what else was about before he could see the teacher. Well, he knows not to do anything that could get him in trouble.]

So... professor, right? What brings you to the lake?

[savioring]

[Lightning doesn't even look up from her work as she replies. She'd seen him coming to the lake well before he noticed her.]

I've been coming here since I was a student. It's quiet here, and no one bothers me when I do work. As for what's in the lake, right now it's too warm for them. Try again at dusk, and you might have more luck.

[Logic.]

[devilishkaoru]

I was kind of hoping for the giant squid, but I can come back later to get him out.

[For some reason he rather enjoys him coming out when he does.]

Though you were a student here as well professor? I would have never imagined that.

[savioring]

[What that supposed to mean?]

I'm not the only former student who came back here to become a teacher. There's been quite a few of us over the years.

[devilishkaoru]

So it's something adults do if they wanted to, but I never understand why people would want to go back to school to teach.

[He's not planning on it anyway.]

The Lake

[louisethezero]

[Lightning may or may not notice the long pink haired girl perched by the water. This time she's not in a boat, but she's just been gazing at the lake absent mindedly while thinking of things that have come to pass.]

[savioring]

[She had indeed noticed the girl, but had made no move to do anything about it. There was a moment of something akin to a smirk crossing her face before she took her wand out. Flicking it, the girl will note her hair flying up.]

[louisethezero]

[At least she noticed this a lot sooner than she would have when she got here. She didn't immediately react, but she did soon enough.]

H-Hey! [Holding her hair down.]

[savioring]

[Wow, what a delayed reaction. Light stops with the hair, picking up some rocks and tossing them into the lake instead.

She's not he type to usually interact with people like this, but having a sulking student was not something she could deal with easily. This would have to do.]

[louisethezero]

[Looking to who else was there, she noticed the other pink haired woman. She didn't say anything at first. Instead, she just watched her as she threw the rocks into the lake absent-mindedly.]
