D.A.D.A., Class 2

[Rori Logan]

Rori flipped through her book to keep her occupied while she waited on everyone to file in. Looking to the desk next to her, a grin fell upon her face as she saw a pair of blue eyes. "Er, I don't know. I mean, George is already sitting there. I'm not so sure how he'd like it," she said a little unsure. A small laugh escaped from her. "Of course I don't mind. You don't really have to ask. Take a seat."

[Leo Agathon]

Merlin, she was pretty when she smiled. The sight of it made his breath catch in his throat.

Leo pretended to frown at the mention of the name George. "Am I gonna have to fight this George for you?" he teased as he slipped into the seat next to her. "Because I will. And it won't be pretty." He winked at her.

[Rori Logan]

Rori blushed a light pink at his wink. "Nah, I don't think you'll have to fight him. I think George might be just a little intimated." She laughed again. "So, I don't think he'll be much of a problem." Her first dread of being the only Ravenclaw in the classroom and being outnumbered by Slytherins had diminished quickly once Leo sat next to her. "Although, thanks for the offer, and if George ever gets up enough courage, I shall let you know."

[Leo Agathon]

Leo relaxed. "Good," he said. "Cause, if I ever see this George getting fresh with you, I may just have to call him out. And I don't know enough about dueling yet to do that. I think I'd just wind up beating him up." He grinned, knowing that there was no George. "So he'd better make himself scarce around me, that's for sure."

He glanced up at the professor, who he knew to be Rori's adopted mother, and then quickly pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Anyway, how are you doing this morning?"

[Rori Logan]

Rori laughed, but covered her mouth to muffle the sound. She let her hand fall to her desk after she calmed down. "I haven't broken, lost, or tripped over anything, so I'm doing pretty well this morning." For a split second, Rori wondered what Isa thought about Leo kissing her cheek, but then she didn't really mind what she thought for a moment. Shifting her attention back to him, she smiled. "What about you?"

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella saw the boy kiss Rori on the check and raised her eyebrows in interest. She hadn't heard Rori talk about a new boy at all, and she didn't quite recall seeing the two of them together before.

She made a mental note to talk to Rori about this later on, but not--as Voltaire had put it--to be annoying about it.

[Severus Snape]

Severus's brows marched up his forehead at the sight of Rori being kissed on the cheek. who was he? He realized it had been a long time since he had really had spoken to Rori and felt out of the loop as it was standing. Maybe he should just continue to drift away from her, what did matter anyway? At least he had Natalie and with that his expression settled back to a firm little scowl. He'd take notes on class.

[Natalie St. Clare]

Natalie walked slowly to class, feeling lots of people's eyes on her along the way. Apparently, her incident in potions class had some of the students thinking she was mad. She didn't really care what they thought, even if she could feel the suspicion and dislike emanating from them as she passed by. What did they know? She could see deep inside each of them, to see what made them tick and where they would end up. She knew them all better than they would ever know her. And yet, she would never use that power against them, no matter how much they might deserve it.

As she walked into Defense class, she could feel more suspicious eyes on her. Yet she continued, uncaring, directly to the seat next to Severus. "Hi, Severus," she said in her quiet voice, slipping into the desk.

Rori laughed, but covered her mouth to muffle the sound. She let her hand fall to her desk after she calmed down. "I haven't broken, lost, or tripped over anything, so I'm doing pretty well this morning." For a split second, Rori wondered what Isa thought about Leo kissing her cheek, but then she didn't really mind what she thought for a moment. Shifting her attention back to him, she smiled. "What about you?"

Leo shrugged. "Eh, my day's been OK, I guess," he replied with a grin. "I think it's better now that I'm here with you."

Leaning his head against his hand, he looked at her with his head tilted sideways. "I know it sounds nuts, but I actually missed you in my first class. Ancient Runes... talk about a boring class! All we do is sit there and translate runes. I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right."

[Rori Logan]

Rori's cheeks were tinted pink. She had never blushed this much. "I'm sorry," she said with a laugh. "Ancient Runes is something that I don't think I could do very well. Although, I know I should probably take the class just in case I need the information for something. But, I'm sure that you probably are doing it right. You're pretty smart."

[Severus Snape]

Severus glanced at Natalie and smiled at her, he leaned over to her and said 'Hi, glad you could make it!" he had started to feel lonely without her, he realized he liked spending time with her. Severus wasn't the kind of person to let emotion bubble up in himself, but he couldn't help but feel pleasure at her sitting next to him, even if no one else understood, he liked her. Rori had been drifting away from him as a friend, ever so involved in one plot or another or with someone else. He had never gotten on that well with Anna, but it had stung when even she retreated from him, but he felt that Natalie wouldn't do that to him, as so he let the feeling bloom in his chest and he cradled it there, learning to be happier with it, rather than distressed.

[Bellatrix Black]

The rude remark Severus had made to her about Rodolphus made Bellatrix scowl at the second year. She curtly said her goodbyes to the group of Slytherins and headed to the front of the class where Professor Rothschild was. "Anything else I should do before you start class?"

[Ruecain White]

Ruecain dashed into class and sat down quickly to the first chair he could, He wasn't one to be late, but then again that pesky stair step always seemed to vanish and move place on him. He fixed his tie and hoped he hadn't missed anything exciting. It seemed the class was enjoying the pre-professor chatter that most classes did and it seemed he hadn't missed much of anything.

[Bellatrix Black]

Bellatrix turned when the door swung open loudly, to see a Ravenclaw boy enter the room. Too many Ravenclaws in this class. It was going to be nothing but work work work with this lot. She could tell. She scowled at the boy's tardiness and looked over at the rest of the bookworms. She noticed Rori Logan, the one her master had named, sitting next to another Ravenclaw boy. Bellatrix knew that she had, at one point, known the boy's name. She would ask Narcissa about it later. But it was the interaction between the two that caught her eye and she made note to report this back to Lord Voldemort as soon as possible. From her assumed seat in the back, she could monitor further actions between the girl and boy. Trying to not arouse suspicion she turned back to await Professor Rothschild's answer.

[Isabella Rothschild]

Isabella shook her head. "No, thank you, Bella. I think we're all set for class. We'll just wait until a few more students arrive, and then I'll introduce you, and you can take roll. I'm sure you would like to remind yourself of all of the students' names. Some of them are probably unfamiliar to you, so this will be a good way to help you learn their names."

[Lily Evans]

Lily wasn't having a good day. She'd been so panicked about the essay for dueling class that she hadn't finished her homework for most of her other classes, which made her feel like she was behind in all of her classes. She had also been attacked by Peeves in the hallway, so now she had something sticky in her hair.

Still trying to figure out what Peeves had dumped on her head, Lily was picking at her hair as she walked into Defense Against the Dark Arts. She was probably going to have to use a cleaning spell on it, but she wasn't all that good at the magic involved yet. Sighing heavily, she slipped into a seat near the front and took out a mirror to inspect the damage.

[James Potter]

Walking in, James' eyes glanced around the room as usual. They widened slightly as they landed on Bella. What was she doing back? Jeez. Wasn't she in school long enough? James rolled his eyes and took a seat next to Sirius.

"Hey Sirius, Remus," he said. "I can't believe that she's back. What is she wanting to do? Start wearing pink and throw flowers to all of us saying she loves us or something?"

[Sirius Black]

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Apparently, she's Professor Rothschild's new teaching assistant. can you believe that? What was she thinking? She'd be better off with Peeves as an assistant!" He shook his head. Thisd was his favorite class, but with Bella here, it was definitely going to put a damper on things.

Glancing over at Lily, Sirius added, "She looks like she could use some help... maybe this is your chance to show her you're not the jerk she thinks you are..."

[James Potter]

James laughed. "Yeah. Peeves would be more entertaining. At least he doesn't act like someone jammed a wand too far up his arse." He gave a quick grin to Sirius. Defense Against the Dark Arts just became a little dull. Having Bella back was going to be horrible, since after all she was a teaching assistant. He only hoped that she wasn't the one going to be grading papers.

Looking over to Lily, he looked back to Sirius with a sigh. The scene in Potions was still fresh in his mind. He was going to have to get over what happened sooner or later, and plus Sirius was right. Maybe he could show her that he wasn't a jerk.

"OK, OK. I just hope she doesn't mind it." He gave one last glance to Sirius, then slowly stood up from his chair walking over to Lily. He paused beside her desk. "Peeves," he asked motioning to her hair.

[Bellatrix Black]

Bellatrix heard her name a couple of times and looked over the class until her cousin Sirius and his loser friend popped out of the crowd. She couldn't make out what they were saying, they were whispering too quietly. But from the expression on their faces she knew it was nothing as pleasant as the Slytherin kids. She eyed them for a while until their attentions were turned to the Gryffindor girl with the bad hair. James went over to the girl and Bellatrix turned her attention back to Rori Logan and the Ravenclaw boy. She wanted as much information as possible for the Dark Lord.
