Andromeda stepped into her classroom. She was glad that she was allowed to be headmistress and potions teacher at the same time. She walked over to her desk and laid out her stuff for the day, which wasn't much at the time. Just a folder and a quill. She turned to the classroom and waved her wand, making all the desks form a circle.
She hoped that all of her students this year would be open and not shy. Last year she'd ha only a few talkative students, and the rest were very shy and didn't do well in this exercise. She planned to talk to her students for a bit and then have them write or draw something that reflected who they were. This first class was going to be easy.
As the first student came in, Andromeda smiled and said, "Hello." She didn't recognize the person from last year, but she hoped that all of her students would be able to come to her for anything they needed.[/size]

James walked to his new class; Potions. He sighed. He had never wanted to do Potions in the first place. None of his friends were doing it. He hoped the teacher was nicer than Snape, the teacher his parents had had (ooc: lol) when they were at Hogwarts. Apparently, Marquette had been a Slytherin in her day, as Snape had been. Even worse, she was the headmistress of the school. The shizz. I you put a foot wrong, you would be in detention before you could say 'James Potter'! Lost in thought, James didn't realise that he had walked right past the Potion's classroom door. He walked back, and through the door, smiling slightly to himself.
That smile disappeared when he realised he was the first one in the classroom. He hated that. The teacher always seemed to start to make small talk with him until a new student walked through those doors of hell. Don't get him wrong, James loved being center of attention, just not with teachers, and when there were no students there.
"Hello", said Marquette to James.
"Hi, Professor", said James, taking a seat at the back of the classroom. He sat there or a bit, then got bored. He must've been really early. He left his stuff there so no one would take his seat, and went to the front of the classroom. "Professor, what're we doing in this lesson?", he asked. "Only, I'm a bit of a hazzard at potions". He grinned.

"Professor, what're we doing in this lesson? Only, I'm a bit of a hazzard at potions" Andromeda looked at the boy and instantly recognized him as the oldest Potter boy. She smiled warmly. "Well, first I want to get you all comfortable and talking. Then we'll see where it takes us from there." she said. She looked back down at her papers and organized them a bit, waiting for other students to come.

Antony walked; almost ran; to the Potions classroom. He had always wanted to be in potions, and now he would finally be able to get into class. He turned straight into the class, relieved to see someone else was there. Yet, it was potter. He already despised him. "Why hello, Miss Marquette. What will we be doing today?" Antony asked Andromeda. "Oh, and hello, Potter. I'm Antony Larkin, but you may already know that." He hissed at James. He was already glaring at him, getting as far as possible in his seat. He got out his quill with his wand, then got out his almost empty water bottle. "Aquamenti..." He mumbled. His water bottle instantly filled up with clear water.

James' eyes narrowed as an already familiar face walked through the door. Larkin spoke to Marquette "Oh, and hello, Potter. I'm Antony Larkin, but you may already know that.", he hissed at James. "Oh I know who you are", said James. "Mean, cowardly, evil... am I correct?". James smirked at Larkin. James wasn't usually like that, but some Slytherins just pissed him off no end, and Larkin was one of them.

"Oh I know who you are", James said. "Mean, cowardly, evil... am I correct?". Antony almost laughed his head off. "You got that right, but aren't mean and evil the same thing, Potter?" He laughed. This kid has really no end to immatureness... Antony thought to himself. Antony turned to Andromeda. "So, what are we doing anyways? The other student should be getting here soon, anyways..." Antony said

"No, not really, Larkin", said James. "Evil is the opposite of good, mean is the opposite of nice". James smirked. "I think I should add ignorant to that list".

"Oh, I have many, MANY words for you, Potter, on my list. You should be happy I don't crucio you right now. It's a privilege" Antony hissed, smirking at potter. It's just too easy to mess with this kid! Antony thought. "I would crucio you, Potter, but the All powerful Headmistress is here!" He whispered to James, snickering. He hoped she didn't hear, but she looked a bit too worked up over her lonely lesson plan and quill to even listen. Like she would bother. he thought.

Andromeda looked up as another boy walked in the room and asked what they were doing. "I'll explain it all later, Mr. Larkin." she said and got up, walking over to the chalkboard. She grabbed a piece of green chalk and wrote:
Andromeda Marquette Lesson One: Let's Get Acquainted
Name Favorite thing to do with extra time Favorite Quidditch team [If you like Quidditch][/color]
She turned around to the two boys as they started whispering. Andromeda smirked. She remembered fighting with Gryffindors in her school days. "Now boys, do try to play nice." she said, chuckling as she sat back down at her desk.

Devon shuffled into the potions room, stifling a yawn. She'd stayed up late last night reading a particularly gripping story, and she was paying for it now in the heaviness of her eyelids. Devon looked around the room and paused a moment, confused by the circular layout of the desks. She just shook her head and shrugged. It wasn't like she'd never seen the same thing in muggle schools, and she'd certainly seen weirder at Hogwarts. She nodded a hello to the professor and sat at one of the desks, ignoring the two students who were fighting. A Gryffindor and Slytherin, nothing new there.
She just stifled another yawn and looked up at what the professor was writing on the board and resisted the urge to groan. It looked like it would be one of those "Getting to Know You" classes. She could only hope it didn't require her to speak in front of a full classroom.

Sabrina walked into the classroom. She looked around and sighed, glad she was not late for class. She went to Professor Marquette's desk, and said "Good morning, Professor". She looked behind her and saw James Potter and Antony Larkin, two boys she knew by sight. They were arguing... no surpises there. Sabrina didn't want to get into their little arguement, so she didn't say hello to them. She probably wouldn't have said hello to Larkin anyway. By what Sabrina knew already, Larkin was like most other Slytherins.
She recognised Devon, a Fifth year, from the Hufflepuff common room. She took a seat at the desk next to Devon, and said "Hi", softly, waiting for the Professor to tell them what to do.

James smirked as Larkin threatened him with the Cruciatus Curse. Larkin didn't even have enough courage to say it out loud. "Whatever", said James. "I know Slytherins. All talk and no action". She turned his back on Larkin, and walked back to his seat. The seat to the side of him had now been occupied by a Hufflepuff he knew to be called Devon Marlott. James had often wondered why her name was a boy's. Jame leant back in his seat, waiting for the lesson to finally begin.

Devon smiled when Sabrina, a younger Hufflepuff, sat next to her, returning the hello she offered. Devon didn't know Sabrina very well, but she recognized her from the common rooms and they'd exchanged a few words occasionally. She seemed nice enough. Devon looked around the room again, paying closer attention to the faces as her eyes swept passed them. So far she knew everyone by face and name, though she knew little else about them other than that.
Devon was covering yet another yawn when James sat down next to her. She hadn't even realized she'd sat at the seat next to his, probably because he had been busy arguing with Larkin when she came in. She smiled at him, trying to be polite. "Hello," she said quietly.

Antony turned around right in the middle of James little fail of trying to diss Slytherins. "All talk an no action meh meh meh" He mocked to himself, smirking at his own joke. "Hi." He said, looking at the two Hufflepuff's that were in the two seats next to his. "Antony Larkin, Slytherin, at your service. How do you do?" He asked. Antony was in quite a good mood today. In a mood to meet new people, make new friends...or enemy's. He took his seat that had his book bag on it. They seemed to have not noticed it was there. "Oh my, a 'Get to know you' lesson...how wonderful" He said to the Hufflepuff's, with a full sarcastic tone in his voice.

"Hello". James looked to his right, and saw that Devon had said smething to him. "Oh, hey", he said. "Looking forward to the lesson?". James sure wasn't.
