Class 2 (Money [That's What I Want])

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

It felt like forever since Dare had taught class, but he supposed that made sense considering everything that had happened since the last one. Not least of all was the move, and then there was everything with Michael...

Dare rubbed absently at the back of his neck as he waited for students to file in and take their seats. Then he pulled a deep breath, dropped his hand, and cleared his throat to get their attention.

"You guys get the short lecture today, since I went over Gamp's Law last time. This time," he said, opening the box on his desk, "we'll be working with something besides food." He reached inside and pulled out a large bowl, setting it on the desk in front of him. It glittered with gold coins, a probable distraction as he went on.

"I want everybody to come by and grab a wallet out of the box and a handful of gold. It's leprechaun gold, it won't last long enough to buy anything, so don't bother pocketing any. It's here to test your assignment."

He briefly explained what a wallet was, for people who'd never seen a Muggle put their paper money inside, then explained the assignment itself. "I want you to transfigure your wallet into a coin pouch. I want you to get all the gold into it without it falling out. Have fun."

[Tori Riddle]

Victoria stepped into transfiguration and took her normal seat near some Slytherin house mates and smiled at them as she took her seat. She looked up at the Professor and remembered what one of her friends had told her about what was happening with him and felt very bad for one of her favorite Professors. She shook the thought out of her head as he placed a bowl in front of him. Victoria chuckled when he said, "It's leprechaun gold, it won't last long enough to buy anything, so don't bother pocketing any." Knowing very well that some students would try to pull that stunt.

Especially with looking at some peoples faces as he said that. Nonetheless, she went up there to grab the wallet and some coins and went back to her seat to try to create a money pouch. Hopefully this'll be easier than that stupid orange/apple thing she had trouble with the other day. She had even tried it on her own time in the Slytherin common room and was still having trouble with it.

She concentrated on the wallet and before her eyes could adjust it did change into a coin pouch but it was a pretty big coin pouch. The ones she had seen in her time were actually smaller than that so she concentrated harder and it finally turned into a smaller coin pouch. Now let's hope the coins will be able to stay inside the pouch.

Victoria put in coin in after coin in one at a time and by the time the tenth one had fallen in all of it had fallen out of the pouch. She sighed heavily frustrated with herself but not letting it show. Victoria had to redo the pouch to make sure that the coins wouldn't fall out so she turned it back into the wallet. Victoria concentrated harder and then she decided to put all of her coins in and she picked it up and jiggled it a bit and the coins didn't fall out at all she was proud of herself.

[Vivikia Worthington]

Vivikia postively beamed at the professor as he said today would be a short lecutre, yes yes it was true Vivikia had skipped the last lesson but apparently broderick had as well. Vivikia frowned a bit it was bad enough with the homework load but clearly another for the professor to play such head games about what lesson was going to be taught. Everyone else had said the last lesson was so fun.. dodgy professors hmph. Vivikia only half listened to the point of the lesson including the lep gold and a square thing the professor called a wuallut at least that's what it sounded like to Vivikia but the worst thing about it was that it had to do with muggles. Vivikia at once tried to subdue herself as the professor said they were all to transfigure the square into a pouch and that he expected them to come up and get the squares. She didn't meet Brodericks gaze,though she knew what his reaction would be and most likely what he would do. She could not do this assignment and she would not do it no matter what, Broderick would not either.

Broderick scowled balant assumption that anyone would be dumb enough to pocket leprechaun gold, most importantly that this assumption included him and his house. What a daft professor, clearly he was one of those and that was just fine with Broderick. Broderick regretted not skipping this time he was going to have to get an inside source to find out all these lessons on these subjects he least preferred for him.. The professor explained his joke of a lesson and of all things told them they were to come to the front right in front of him and pick up a muggle wallet. Gross so this professor was a muggle loving freak, well Broderick would go to front but never to pick anything having to do with a muggle. Broderick could see that Vivikia had understood as he had and was not taking it well..her face had changed color sort of , she looked a bit scared. Broderick would get across just how he felt about having anything to do with anything muggle and Vivikia would be their getaway out of here. Broderick halted getting up with everyone else to get a wallet. For now he would play concerned but only because he wanted to but later and in the future he would never hear the end of it from Vivikia. "Are you alright..?" He mumbled to Vivikia as she was looking straight ahead. "Just try to..."

[Annabelle Hennessy]

Sitting in the front row, Annabelle was one of the first back to her desk with a wallet and a pile of coins. She looked around at her fellow classmates as she took her seat and frowned. Some hadn't even bothered to go up and collect the materials yet. Anna searched the front of the classroom until she saw Dare, Professor Blackwood, she reminded herself as she gave him an encouraging smile. She felt much better about being his student since their talk and wanted to do her best in his class. She had still been a little nervous about class this morning, but she kept telling herself over and over that they wouldn't waste their time talking about her, that she was just another student. Her performance in the class, good or bad, was between herself and Dare, Professor Blackwood-Hardt and had nothing to do with the other Professor with the same name.

She banished all such thoughts from her head as she focused on her assignment. The wallet was basic, with a few pockets for cards along with the billfold. She closed her eyes and tried to clearly picture a coin purse. She remembered one that she's admired at a store once, that cost way more then she could afford. With a few flicks of her wand, the wallet was gone and a much simpler version of the coin purse she'd imagined was in it's place. Still having the majority of the class period left, she practiced a few of her other transfiguration spells to change the color, get rid of a pocket that had stayed, lengthen the drawstring, and add a few details that made it look more like the one she'd seen in the store. When she was done, Anna put the coins inside and decided she'd have to transfigure one outside of class like this that she could keep.

[Vivikia Worthington]

Vivikia didn't think she could stand the stress of the nausea any longer, she was trying to hold it together as she glanced around nervously. She heard Broderick's words but in an instant her insides were threatening to break loose it seemed.

"I can't stand it any longer!!!!"Overtaken by panic and the shame of vomiting in front of her peers Vivikia stumbled from her seat and dashed from the classroom and down the hall.

[loveofdanger55]

Broderick hurridley moved himself away from his seat and out of Vivikia's path at once. Unpleasantly scowling he announced to everyone at large "Stall number one will be one she's headed for, so avoid unless you want to know what was for breakfast this morning"

Broderick turned to eye the professor, pure loathing filled his eyes. Yes he would get the proper people to take notice of this particular stunt, thanks to Vivikia's help.
