Appearing in my office's fireplace in a wave of fire, I made sure to brush off any excess powered before stepping out of the fireplace. Satisfied that I wouldn't be dragging any ash across my office I stepped out from the fireplace pausing for a moment to look around my new office, I still need to spruce it up some, but that could come later, first thing on the menu today was getting some breakfast so the students wouldn't hear my growling stomach during morning lessons.

I strode into my new class room, my cloak billowing behind me, as I marched over to my desk I thought to myself, 'this is a rather odd feeling just yesterday I was on the other side of this desk.' Taking a seat behind my desk I surveyed the room briefly looking at each student while I waited for their chatter to slowly come to a stop, realizing that class was about to begin.
Clearing my throat I got up from my chair and said, "Welcome, welcome back to another year at Hogwarts, I do hope that you haven't forgotten everything you learned last year." Pausing to collect my thoughts I said, "Now I think an introduction is in order. Yes I know some of you will know who I am, but others will not. So for those who do well, just pretend that your listening." Giving the group a smile I continued.
"My name is Professor Kenneth Reynolds, and as you can see I will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts for the foreseeable future. I know what its like to be on the other side of this desk, since just last year I sat where you sit now, learning from an excellent teacher who decided to move on to other things." After giving some time to honor the last Defense Professor I continued, "Let see here what interesting things should I share with you...Ah yes, well I've also just finsihed up my Auror training so there will be times where I will be absent from class, dealing with Auror related business. But that doesn't mean you will get a free ride, no I will have a lesson for you as well as someone to watch over you will I'm gone. To the new Gryffindors in the class, I'm also your new Head of House, so please don't do anything foolish to disrespect the house."
Now that my introduction 'speach' was over I pulled out my wand from my robes and pointed it toward the black boards that lined the room behind me. "As you can see I have prepared the syllabus of this class for you all to see, and since I know you all can read I wont be reading it aloud to you. However if you have any questions regarding it I will happily answer them."
Taking a seat behind my desk I gave the students ample time to read over the syllabus before I said, "I fell like going easy on you since its the first day back and all, so your assignment for this week is to simply introduce yourself, tell me a little about yourself, you plans for the future, what year your in, etc."

 Cloud listened to Professor Reynolds, and it was strange to think of him as a teacher. It was strange to think of him as "Professor Reynolds" instead of just "Kenneth". She remained silent at the end of his speech. She didn't think that she could bring herself to even speak to him, after the events that had occurred on the grounds. She was told that she had encountered many people close to her that night...
Cloud put her elbows on her desk and gazed at the black board with troubled thoughts.

Text listened to the new Professor's speech. It was, admittedly, a bit odd to think that he had been a student himself not that long ago, and her Quidditch captain at that. But she knew she'd have to get used to it, so she let it go. Introduce myself, she thought. Well that should be easy enough.

((Since its just introductions and and not a graded assignment, post them here. Hopefully I'll get a few more folks in here, before hinting at an incentive to the 1st one who's brave enough to introduce themselves 1st))
….everything is permitted

Gryffindor Prefect
Sparrow----Gryffindor ----3rdyear
Gryffinclaw Quidditch Captain
Sparrow walked into DADA and took a seat. She listened intently as Professor Renolds talked and thought to herself wow might take some getting use to calling him Professor Renolds instead of Kenneth. Sparrow then got to work on the assignment he had given us.

Text raised her hand slightly, and said, "I'm Text. Erm, there's not much to me really. I'm a sixth year, I love reading and learning. My favorite classes are DADA and Transfiguration. My plans for the future, erm, I'm not sure yet really, but I've thought about my options and I suppose a job at the ministry wouldn't be that bad... Maybe I'd kind of like to teach or something, I guess..." she trailed off embarrassed, looking around. She absolutely hated talking about herself.

Gryffindor Prefect
Sparrow----Gryffindor ----3rdyear
Gryffinclaw Quidditch Captain Sparrow pucks up the courage to introduce herself as well, she is a Gryffindor after all need to have that courage somewhere. Sparrow then says, "I am Sparrow. I am a Third Year, and am the Gryffindor Prefect and Gryffinclaw Quidditch captain. I love to read and sketch and learn. Something I might want to do in the future would be...hmm.... Well I have thought of a couple things perhaps work in the Department of magical sports and games in the Ministry and strive to be the head, Or maybe be an auror both those things interest me. Or even be on quidditch team for a while that wouldn't be bad still got some options I'm playing with." Sparrow then grinned and hope she didn't sound stupid.

Beaming at Text and Sparrow's initiative I said, "well done ladies, here's 5 points to each of you for stepping up and introducing yourselves first." Looking over the rest of the class I said, "now you loot come on, the ice has been broken and it wasn't that painful. Let's hear some more introductions."

 Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; Second Year
Antoinette quickly stood up, still grinning. She took a deep, exaggerated breath, flipping her hair with her hands dramatically, and proudly announced,
"My name is Antoinette Machiavelli; I'm a Second Year, and I'm pretty freaking awesome." After relishing in the sheer awesomeness of her introduction for a moment, she sat down, grinning more than ever.

Lena
Lena walked into the classroom and took a seat. After listening to Professor Reynolds and to Sparrow and Text's introduction about themselves, she decided it best if she introduce herself also. Hello, I'm Lena, a fourth year Gryffindor. My favorite classes are defense against the dark arts and care of magical creatures. I like learning, performing spells, quidditch. And when I'm older I think I'd like to have a career related to dragons, which I find brilliant or an auror, like my father.

A student enters the classroom, bowing her head to the class respectfully. She takes a seat. "Sorry about my tardiness if so, Professor Reynolds...I'm Heart of the Ravenclaw House, and I'm a Second Year this term." She pauses for a moment to collect her thoughts. "I enjoy playing Quidditch and I love sketching things by hand. In the future, I would like to work for the Ministry in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

One by one I listened to the introductions from the students trying my best to remember most of what they said, waiting to here from the next one some motion in the back of the room caught my eye. It seems that Konkuro was trying to sneak into the room without being noticed. Oh no that wouldn't do, "Konkuro thank you for volunteering to go next, there's a good lad." I said with a small grin forming in the corner of my mouth. I knew he was most likely trying to avoid being seen, and by that means avoid speaking aloud.
