Someone had demolished what might have been the dueling field - it was difficult to tell. Part of it was sprouting dying grass like a receding hairline. Arielle had roped off the area, but for the most part, that was just to show that there was indeed a border to the area. Anyone trying to get in without Arielle's say so would be diverted, and that inside, well ....
Hopefully it wouldn't be going anywhere.
The newest teacher for Firefox University, Potions Mistress and currently a substitute for Care of Magical Creatures, stood just a yard or so away from the line of rope, leaning on a staff and looking bored. Arielle Bryane always seemed to be leaning on something. The staff was taller than she was, and didn't look in the least bit magical. For the most part, it was just handy to have, a good walking stick - and maybe good for unruly students.
Dangling from the staff was a small lantern, and even though it was only afternoon, there was a fire blazing inside. Inside was a small lizard, curled around the coals. Arielle had found the little creature in her fireplace, and its antics amused her. Regularly it would stick its face to the side of the lantern and make faces at approaching students.
When Arielle judged that all that would be arriving had actually arrived, she launched into talking, straightening and gesturing behind her. The tops of the walls didn't look very wide, even viewed profile, but it wasn't possible for one to see over, not from the ground. At one point the creature beyond had screamed.
"Welcome to the first class of the semester. Some of you already know me, that's good, but for those who don't - I'm Professor Arielle Bryane, you may call me either of my names, Professor isn't necessary but it is appreciated."
She cast a glance out over the group.
"Now who can tell me what an Occamy is?"
The salamander hissed and swallowed a coal.
I'd appreciate it if everyone who is going to post POSTS by December 2nd. If you don't think you can get a post in, drop me a private message. Thanks.
