Session One;; Emmalynn and Willa

[Ariel Trenton]

SESSION ONE;; EMMALYNN AND WILLA

It was early morning and Ariel woke up with some exciment running through her veins. It was the first day of sessions with her Occlumency Students. She couldn't be more satisfied with herself. Just a month ago she was negotiating with Daniel Hubbles to make her class a bit different than all of the others. Occlumency isn't just a normal class and it's a bit difficult to teach it with seven to ten students at a time, so now it is going to be done in sessions every month with only two students at a time unless told otherwise. Dan thought it was a splendid idea and of course Ariel had to agree with him, so here they were on the first day of the new and improved class of Occlumency.

She got up and slipped on a short black pleated skirt; something a professor would wear she guessed, then she pulled a white tank top over her head and then stuffed herself into a faded sky blue button up, quarter sleeve shirt; also a few articles of clothing she guessed that sophisticated adults wore. Ariel was new to this sort of thing, so she was having to guess on a lot, she wished she could ask someone, but being new around here and not wanting to look like a freak she kept it to herself and kept her head held high.

Smiling to herself as she looked in the mirror and approved of her outfit she scurried down the hall to the Occlumency Classroom. She opened the door and noticed that her two students; Emmalynn Barkley and Willa Abbott were not there yet. Satisfied of their late arrival she began setting up the room. She placed two wooden chairs in the middle of the room facing her desk, but there was enough standing room in between the fruniture for her to stand and for the students to make mistakes.

Ariel walked over to the door and propped it open, so her first two students would feel welcome to have their minds looked at and tried to block it. Giggling to herself she remembered her first Occlumency lesson, not so pretty. She took a seat at her desk and waited.

[Willa Abbott]

[/I] close to getting a 'tardy' for stumbling in with seconds to spare, so this was a new adjustment for her. Stretching her fingers around before swinging them back to hang at her sides the Gryffindor strode forward more, wondering if she should sit down or stay standing.[/size][/color][/ul]

[Emmalynn Barkley]

As Emmalynn awoke she immediately felt the tempeture. It was crisp and cold... fall or "autmn" as they put it in technical words. Emma wasn't one for the bitter sweet wintery weather. She prefered the bright, sunny, hot weather of summer... 'cause in winter all she wants to do it curl up with a good book and go to sleep, but in summer she is all energized and ready to do anything. But every year she is disappointed by the changing of seasons and every year she has to deal with it.

Em sighed when she uncovered herself to find her legs were a faint plum looking color. Was she sick or was it just the sudden change in the air and her body hadn't gotten adjusted yet? Good question and the only person to ask would be Professor Trenton. Emma told her everything and asked her everything. Life pretty much revolved around Miss. Ariel, Emmalynn fancied her and wanted to grow up to be just like her. Agreeing, she pulled on her robes, that sadly showed her legs, and grabbed her Ravenclaw scarf and tied it tightly around her neck, so it wouldn't turn purple as well.

The stairs. What a terrible two words. When you are cold and a plum purple, wearing a tight dress, dress shoes, and flowing robe, this is not the most pleasant of sights. Emmalynn stared down the skinny, black ladder and released a heavy cough and then crouched down and began to slowly go down the ladder. When she made it to the bottom she checked to make sure she was in one peice, grabbed her books she had thrown down and was off to the Occlumency room to ask Professor Trenton some questions.

As she walked in she noticed Willa Holland, a Gryffindor, the same age as her, already in there. Funny... most people don't waste their time talking to the single Occlumency Professor. Emmalynn smiled as she entered. "'Ello Professor!" she said joyously with a crisp, light tone to it. "Hey Willa.. why are ya here?" she asked. It was intresting, but she was sure there was something going on that she was not informed about.

[Ariel Trenton]

So far... so good! Class really hadn't begun yet, but when Ariel looked up to find both of her students staring at her, looking as if they had spoken to her, but she never gave them answer. And of course they were right. Both had said hello, but not as she suspected one looked excited to be there for lessons, but the other looked confuzzled as if she was there for the wrong reason.

Just as she suspected. The flabbergasted looking girl was Emmalynn Barkley. Ariel liked to joke and call her, her own stalker, but she knew it wasn't true. Apparently the Ravenclaw loved the way she acted and wanted to be just like her, but those were just rumors of course. Ari loved the girls company and found that she had many intresting questions that Ariel just came up with some ridiculous answer to give her, but lucky for Ariel she believed her. So, yes, Em was here to ask a question, but Ariel had her down for a lesson. What a cocindence.

Professor Trenton just stood there looking as confused as her students. Maybe this wasn't going as well as she planned or thought. Ariel raced through her recent thoughts and noticed that both girls had said hello, so Ariel was quick to get started. "Hello darling, i'm guessing you're Willa?" Ariel asked as sweetly as possible. She didn't quite know this student, so name tags would need to be in order, just for a little while, because Ari was the worst when it came to names.

Turning to the door to find Emmalynn barely inside the doorway before she was bombarded with hellos'.... she cleared her throat and replied,"Hi Emma..." With a flick of her wand two name tags appeared. One said "Emmalynn Barkley" and the other "Willa Abbott" "Here you go please put them on until I learn your name correctly." She handed to each student they belonged to and smiled. She figured it was time to get to buisness.

Stepping to the front of her desk, she motioned for each of the girls to take a seat. As they sat Ariel began to talk,"I'm hoping this year we will become very close. I hope that you will learn to trust me and all that junk." She smiled at the thought of students not liking her. "Also I would like to remind you that this is Occlumency. Your thoughts will be read by the other people in this room-" Ariel paused and pointed to Willa, Emmalynn, and back at herself, indicating those were the people,"-so I guess I can only warn you not to think about things you don't want me or your partner finding out!" She stood at the front letting it all sink in. "So shall we begin?"

[Willa Abbott]

Emma questioned her curiously, and the Gryffindor couldn't help but shrug. "Why are you here?" She grinned back, sticking her tongue out briefly--but not immaturely, no, everyone was well aware of her individual style of humor and.. clumsiness--before linking her fingers together and flipping them around to push out in a quick stretch. As for the professor's inquiery, Willa nodded with a friendly smile. "Yeah. Thats me." She fastened the name tag higher up on the left side of her chest, though later on she'd soon realise she had put it on upside-down, and make the decision to either leave it that way, or right it again. As the kind woman explained that thoughts would be thrown around as if written on parchments of paper--would it really be that easy to read and figure out?--a small grin touched her lips. I wonder how they would react if they read my mind. Willa thought with yet another grin. They'd probably think I was insane. She thought about such random, nonsensical things. Funny things. Goodness!

Standing straighter, and nearly towering over them both with the boots she was wearing, the Gryffindor nodded her head, anticipation and determination flashing in her eyes. "Lets do this!" She exclaimed, rubbing her hands together excitedly. Tucking a curled ringlet of blue-streaked hair behind one ear, Willa ran her tongue along her lips, sliding her eyes back and forth between the two other women as if waiting for who was going to say something or start the lesson.[/ul][/color]
