He chuckled silently behind his book. It was his first day so he was making a joke of it. He would get more serious next class and try to fit some jokes in while learning.
The first student to speak up said the perfect thing to lead into his next joke. He lowered the book, frowned and strode up to Lucas. He shoved the book at him and said sarcastically, "Would YOU like to give the lecture, Mr. Smartypants?" Richard acted serious. He loved that he was a good actor and could pull off a performance.
Ricahrd then addressed the next statement by Lucas. He debated a few things in his head before settling and saying,"Oh of course! I completely forgot an introduction. My apologies and thank you for the reminder Mr. Lucas."His mood changed so suddenly towards Lucas and he smiled at him politely. "My name is Richard Bittlingmaire, but you may call me Tinkerbell, Surfin' Bird, or Professor Bitt."

Bobby Grimmjow - 3rd year Hufflepuff Bobby blinked a few times to clear the spots from his vision. That light was bright and his eyes stung a little. He was glad for the interruption but couldn't help but be curious about what the professor was going to say about him. He bets I'm destined to be what? A wall? What was he going to say? He thought as he watched the professor walk towards his desk talking but the paused like he was hypnotized. This guy was strange.
Bobby started to doodle on a spare piece of parchment when the professor disappeared behind his desk. When he came back up with a book and a paperclip and started lecturing about how it was created, Bobby thought. Why would a nutter like him be hired for History of Magic? Paperclips aren't magic. Because this was so strange, Bobby took out another piece of parchment and wrote down some ideas for potions he could test. He already invented a potion to turn skin bright orange. What else could he come up with? ((It's tough when your mum abandons you when you're a baby. But what can you do when she's a Giant and you're too small? Picture at 8 years old --> wink )

Lucas flushed for a second, he didn't mean to actually insult the Professor, he just had no idea why hsitory of magic was suddenly a lecture on office supplies. Then just as suddenly, the Professor was smiling again and introducing himself.
Lucas grinned. "My apologies, Surfin' bird." He said with a wink at Fionna. Best class this whole year? By far. He would've called him Tinkerbell, but that was just too weird for his tastes, the girls who loved disney movies to the point of obsession, who saw them in the muggle world could call him that.

 Tyson CaffreyIf you are ashamed to stand by your colors, 7th Year Ravenclawyou had better seek another flag.  Tyson had thought the Professor was going to interrogate them all, but when a Gryffindor girl entered the room and questioned his styles he stopped and walked back to the front of the room. He returned his attention to the girl that had just walked in. She seemed very studious and also responsible. He smiled at her as she sat down next to Lucas and he couldn't help but feel a bit lonely as Lucas turned his attention to her. She was probably his girlfriend.
His eyes immediately went back the the professor as he ducked down under his desk and then reappeared seconds later with a book and paperclip. Tyson looked at him oddly and his eyebrows rose in confusion when the professor went on in a lecture about paperclips. Quite peculiar and random. His eyes met Lucas' and he had to hold back a laugh as well at this.
A small laugh escaped him at the Professor's introduction. He couldn't help it. Tinkerbell? Really? He had heard about the muggle Disney stuff from his last school. Surfin' Bird was also funny, but he made a note to call him Tinkerbell from now on. Tyson stayed silent and watched the professor intently.

 Elizabeth Bower6th Year - Ravenclaw
Tinkerbell? Wait, what? Oh great, Liz sighed, the Professor is a lunatic. Her words were sarcastic and kidding, though the lack of learning in the classroom agitated her somewhat. Certainly, telling somebody that 'Tinkerbell' taught History Class today falsely certified some sort of brain functioning impediment or drug abuse. If Liz were bold enough to natter nonsense, she'd quite happily inform the teacher that Tinkerbell was both fictional and a girl and that perhaps 'Surfin' Bird' were a more realistic alternative.
What use was it to get annoyed? A tad of nonsense in her first History class in Hogwarts would surely be a light release. History in Beauxbatons was far more academic, though rather lifeless and repetitive in comparison to the unraveling, spontaneous teaching methods of Professor Bitt. She restrained eye contact with the boy across the room as a flurry of giggles arose up her throat, stifling so suddenly Liz couldn't help but hiccup.

He noticed him scribbling on a piece of parchment. "Mr. Grimmjow! Am I boring you?" He exclaimed at him. "I suggest you pay attention. Your final grade will be based off a single question on any topic we cover." It was a joke of course, but nothing in his face gave that away. He looked dead serious.
The Professor then turned back to the rest of the class and continued on as if he had said nothing. Walking back to his desk, Richard's mind was turning in thought. "Of course, you are actually quite right worm." He said as he sat upon his desk again but this time on the edge with his legs crossed. "This is history of magic and a paperclip holds no magical qualities!"
Richard was starting to get more serious and his students could probably see that. He enjoyed having a little fun, but they also needed to get work done. He would try to make their learning more entertaining unlike old Professor Binns' boring lectures. "Now. I'm willing to take suggestions on what we learn, but there are certain topics we must cover. Some more boring than others. Anybody have a topic they particularly like and would like to learn more about? He asked his class hoping somebody would recommend something fun so he wouldn't have to go right to being a boring old History Professor.

Lucas smiled, raised his eyebrows, but wasn't offended when Surfin' bird called him 'worm.' He knew now it was just a joke to make this class a bit more fun. That was probably for the best, this class had always been extremely dull, a good time for a nap.
What to learn? Hmmm...Lucas's best subject was music now, he really didn't know that much about anything else. He of course knew plenty about werewolves, because he'd been so curious to know their history. And his mom wanted him to learn it so he could recognize them as horrible monsters. Of course, that was before he was bitten. After he was, she wanted him to know what a horrible monster HE was. Hmmm...so what to study?
Giant wars interested him, but he'd never been into history,much. Until now, of course. This was practically garunteed to be a great class so far.

Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play.
The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.
Joyce walked in to the History classroom and gave the Professor a deep curtsy.
"Do forgive my tardiness." She said, keeping her head bowed, the top of the bonnet she wore visible.
"I am new to this school and still finding my way around." She said by way of explination.
She was getting quite a few stares, but it was no question why. She looked like a piece of History herself. Her dress had literally come out of the victorian era, her white bonnet covered her long hair that she'd tied up in a bun.
She rose from the curtsy and sat in her seat. Not once did her expression change from the 'nothing' that it stayed on, and she had spoken in a voice without an emotion or passion at all. She acted slightly different around Bryce lately, but not anyone else. No one showed much of an effort to get to know her, after all. She was a hopeless cause. But she was almost, almost almost slightly disspointed to find that Bryce wasn't in this class. She knew she shouldn't care about him, and she didn't, it wasn't right to make friends. If you lost them, it would be purposeless. It was not better to have loved and lost than to not love at all.
Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.

~ Alison Nikolai~ ~3rd year Gryffindor~ (Yes these pictures are me)  
Al, however, was completely different. She walked in to find Joyce curtsying, and she snuck into her seat. When she caught the Professor's eyes she said quickly and quietly,
"Sorry I'm late, had to talk to the Headmaster."
That was true, she had just had another lesson with her mom. It was obvious she was Lillian's daughter as soon as you looked at her, so hopefully this'd be understandable. Hmmm...new history, teacher, huh? Dull. She didn't show her dislike for history, but really, it was just sooo boring. She hadn't worried too much about getting here because she could never focus in this class anyways. She smiled at Lucas and Fionna nearby, and her eyes swept over the new Hufflepuff girl she'd heard a bit about. Apparently she was an emotionless person who came out of the 1800s. Well, her face did look expressionless, and her dress was certainly...unique. And by unique, ancient. Still, she wasn't one to judge. This girl was a Hufflepuff, right? Well, then at least the sorting hat didn't see any evil in her. She didn't need another dramatic Rhiannon.
Al faced the front and listened.

Bobby Grimmjow - 3rd year Hufflepuff Bobby was writing down random combinations of potion ingredients since the professor was going on about nicknames like surfin' bird and tinkerbell and paperclips. When the teacher addressed him though, he instantly dropped his quill and looked up, shaking his head. He didn't take the single question thing too seriously though. The teacher was now talking about picking a topic. Bobby was thinking of some when Joyce walked in, looking like an emotionless statue, like the day he met her in the Great Hall. Then he saw another, smaller girl, sneak behind Joyce and sit down. She looked like the Headmistress but miniaturized. She must be her daughter. Bobby thought before going back to thinking of a topic.((It's tough when your mum abandons you when you're a baby. But what can you do when she's a Giant and you're too small?

She was wearing a very old fashioned dress and she was curtseying to him. The professor found this to be very odd and thought it was a joke. He almost chuckled, but refrained because she seemed quite serious about it and who was he to judge? "Ne deli öğrencilerle! He exclaimed in a think Turkish accent before returning back to English and is regular accent. Oh it is no problem, worms. I am Professor Bitt, but feel free to call me Tinkerbell or Surfin' Bird." He said to both girls that had arrived late. "We were just talking about what topics you would like to cover. Any suggestions ladies?"
Richard noticed the unchanging face of the girl that had curtseyed to him. He disliked when students looked sad or gloomy in his class. He wasn't even lecturing at all yet. Unacceptable! He wasn't sure exactly how to cheer her up though. The professor had only just met her. He started to fiddle with a paper on his clipboard waiting for somebody to speak up. Turns out, he was making a paper airplane and he proceeded to throw it and it headed directly for the gloomy girl that had just sat down. Inside it said, 'What's wrong grumpy gills?'
After that, he turned his attention back to the class surprised nobody had spoken up. Students finally get the chance to pick what they learn and nobody was jumping at the opportunity."Come now! There must be something you want to learn about. Speak up!"He exclaimed trying to get somebody to suggest something. He didn't want to have to chose himself, but if he had to he would.

The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.
Joyce's face did not change as the paper plane landed near her, though she was a bit suprised to say the least. What Professor tossed paper airplanes around a classroom? She sat up a little striaghter, if she didn't the corset would dig into her ribs. It was a bit tight today, at 15 and a half inches. She unsed to have it at 15.
She opened the note. Ah. So here was another person who was prying into her life, because they thought she was upset. Though she did not have conversations that often, usually her first conversation with a person ended up as them asking, 'are you okay.' She was perfectly fine.
I am fine, Thank you for your concern, Professor. She wrote.
She didn't see it proper to throw paper planes around in a class, so, because he was sitting at the front, She simply leaned over a bit and placed the note on his desk. She wasn't exactly sure what to do when a Professor wanted to know what was wrong. Was she required to tell him her whole life story or something? Professors didn't care too much at her old school, they got used to her. And ignored her. But, she preffered it that way.

After a minute of no one really making suggestions, Lucas spoke up.
"Giant wars? Goblins? Vampires? Werewolves?" Lucas said. He half-smiled at Fionna on the last one. He wasn't sure if Professor Bitt had been informed that 'Lucas Carter' was a werewolf or not, yet. He knew that all the teachers were aware, but since this Professor was knew, he might not even be aware. Still, Lucas inwardly hoped that he'd choose Werewolf. He knew quite about them.
Lucas knew there wasn't too much to study about werewolves because many wizards and witches saw werewolves as dirty half-breeds not worth talking about. Though not many were so adamant about it, the Ministry still didn't want werewolves in their midst at work. Lucas knew how difficult it would be to get a job when he graduated, no one trusted people like him after the second wizarding war. Most thought that the werewolves now had been in the war and bitten their friends and family and were only now coming out of hiding, years later. But didn't they realize, Lucas was part of the friends and family portion? He hadn't hurt anyone and he didn't plan to. Stereotypical.

   I MIGHT LOSE MY MIND FOR A WHILE
BUT I'LL BE FINE HAVE YOU HEARD THERE'S THIS THING THAT HEALS AND IT'S CALLED TIME ▂▃▃▄▄▄▅▅▅▅▄▄▄▃▃▂ Fionna couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the Professor. She really enjoyed his teaching style. It was quite entertaining, but he also had a certain personality that made her believe he could also get work done. She didn't mind goofing off in his first class. He was just trying to get them to like him. She couldn't blame him.
Fionna actually scribbled down a few notes that she recalled when he mentioned that their final exam could be one single question on any topic. Would he really do that? He seemed so serious about it and she didn't want to fail this class! It would be totally unfair if he did such a thing!
Fionna like his nicknames and she knew the concept of tinkerbell a bit but had never actually watched any of the movies. She would probably just call him Bitt. Surfin' Bird did not appeal to her much.
Fionna had a few suggestions, but she wasn't sure which to pick.She had a lot of topics that appealed to her actually and she got distracted by the entrance of some old fashioned girl and Al. She gave a wave to Al and noticed the Professor throwing a paper airplane at the girl that had entered. This confused her but she was again distracted by Lucas stating some suggestions.
Fionna grinned at him liking his ideas. "Oh please don't do the Giant Wars yet, and vampires are just creepy. Goblins are very intriguing though and so are werewolves. I second both those suggestions Bitt." She said smiling. "The wizarding wars are also topics I'd hope you cover." Honestly, Fionna wanted to do werewolves as well. She loved werewolves and couldn't help but have a real interest in them. One thing she feared though was that people might start noticing some things about Lucas as they studied the creature.

It was quite obvious she was not, but he let it go. It wasn't his place to get too involved in his student's lives. He held the plane in his hand and held it up and it became aflame. He let it burn up in his hand leaving him unharmed.
Richard stopped distracting himself when one of the students spoke up. "Ah lovely Lucas and Fionna. Some excellent topics! If anybody else has any suggestions write it on the piece of parchment and bring it up at the end."He said to his students. Fionna was familiar to him only because he was his house's prefect. He recognized her also by the fact that she looks so much like her parents who he had gone to school with.
"We shall start with werewolves then. We will proceed onto Goblins and the wars in the next few classes."He was happy to oblige to his student's suggestions because they were appropriate and educational. Knowing that Lucas was a werewolf also helped influence his decision although he was wary of anybody deciphering anything he would happily teach the class about the creatures. He wondered where to even begin on the topic. I'm sure you all know the basics of werewolves. They are humans who transform during the full moon. They appear as normal humans when the full moon is not in the sky. I could be a werewolf and you wouldn't even know it!" He chuckled and gave a small howl to the class. He obviously was not a werewolf, but he wasn't about to point out who really was. "Now while in wolf form they look very similar to regular wolves but you can tell the difference if you manage to get close enough without getting eaten. The pupils of the eyes, the snout shape, and the tufted tail are such characteristics. Oh by the way if you have any questions please do interrupt." Richard paused to see if anybody had any questions thus far though he doubted it, he had barely even gotten started.
