Charms Class Closed

Elisa was sitting next to Adohiro, she wondered what his life was like, and he seemed closed to meeting others. The class was filled with many pupils, each one focusing on studying, no one seemed to care about the others, about their surroundings. The classroom was filled with dim light, and portraits; portraits of people she didn't recognize. She felt safe in the quiet room, for the first time she wasn't overwhelmed by the amount of people in the classroom. She sat quietly and looked at her school supplies, she looked at her book, her ink and her parchment.

For now she would focus on the class, she was amazed by the numerous things she had learned in her new classes, she specially loved the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, it was simply fascinating. She liked Charms, every piece of knowledge she could gather was valuable, she wanted to learn, to become a great Wizard. She concentrated on the explanation, took notes, read her book, waiting until the class finished so she could go to the library and learn something new. Although this was her first week at Hogwarts, she started to feel safe, she started to see Hogwarts as her new home.

Adohiro stepped into the dim classroom, wondering what was going on. He would sit in the classroom alone and he'd get his books out. He then began to slowly study ahead. He needed to be the top of his class to prove his older brother that he could lead. The baby-faced boy would work on his assignment quietly. He certainly wasn't happy about getting a ton of As and not even a single E. All of his training for English and for magic sure seemed like it was for nothing. He 'd sit and start to write his homework out in a neat and readable handwriting. He certainly wasn't the smartest, but he was a hard-working student. That was where he shone, his hard work got him good grades. Letting out a small sigh he would continue his work without complaint.

He would notice a pretty girl sitting next to him and he would glance at her but say nothing. He would continue to write down the spells to him and he would carefully read over the words. What felt like an hour of studying, he would finish. His notes were very neat and well organized along with 'pretty' handwriting.

OOC: I know Dawn is in her second year, but we can pretend she is also a first-year for the sake of the RP.

Dawn entered the classroom and looked around. She chose a seat in the front near a dark-haired boy and a red-head girl. She was an exceptional charms learned with a report card consisting of mostly O's and a few E's. She had even managed to get a few strugglers' grades up from a fail to a pass. Not that her muggle parents knew what the grades meant, but they were very proud of her for managing good grades. She pulled out her textbook and her notebook and quill and looked to the front of the room for the lesson to begin. 

She began to daydream about underground rooms with flickering candles. Her mind drifted to underwater lakes with swirling mist. The images sparked a memory from one summer not long ago and she began to hum a bit of a song from her favorite muggle musical, The Phantom of the Opera. 

I remember there was mist
Swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake
There were candles all around
And on the lake, there was a boat
And in the boat, there was a man

A loud BANG! brought her crashing back to reality. As she was singin, she had been moving her hands as if conducting an orchestra and she had knocked all her supplied on teh floor. Her ink had fallen over with her books and had made a giant splatter all over the floor. She got out of her seat totry and clean up. She turned to teh two students nearest her and asked, "Could you please help me? I knocked over all my stuff and my ink splattered all over it."

Adohiro was minding his business not knowing another girl had entered the classroom. He was too focused on studying until he heard a loud BANG sound. He would wince at that sound and he would cast his eyes towards the sound. His ears began to ring and he would turn his head, however, he saw dripping dark ink and a clumsy-looking girl who seemed to be rather shocked. He would let out a sigh and he stood up. Luckily he had some clean handkerchief and he would take it out of his pocket. He would crouch on the floor and began to clean up the ink. His red handkerchief with golden dragons would be eaten up by the black ink. He would wipe up most of the ink, however, it reared an ugly stain. "I need some water. And probably some more towels or paper towels." The dark haired kid would say and he would stand up straight. He would take the ink spilled books and wipe their covers. Some of the pages did get stained, but there wasn't much he could do about it. You couldn't really clean a page, but there might be a spell for it possibly.

Elisa had finished her classwork and was willing to know more about the subject. She knew every piece of knowledge was extremely valuable, especially if she wanted to become a great Wizard. Her eyes widened as she learned more about the subject. As she kept reading, her surroundings seemed to disappear, she seemed to be in a bubble, far away from all the new faces, from the people sitting next to her.
She had focused on her studying, reading, and taking notes when suddenly she heard a loud noise coming from next to her, and then she heard her voice. The girl who had been sitting next to her dropped her books and ink, causing an incredible mess. Instead of standing up and helping the girl clean up her mess, Elisa was shocked, how could someone make such a mess? It was something unusual, rather than an accident, it seemed intentional, a desperate try to get attention. She looked at the girl with disgust, but quickly changed her facial expression. She stood up and gently said: “Of course I’ll help you,” she proceeded to stand up and try to clean the ink, only to find Adohiro already helping the girl. Therefore, she decided to clean some of the ink from some of the girl’s books.

Dawn worked to wipe up the ink she spilled. She looked to the boy who helped her. "Thanks," she breathed, turning to him. "I'm not usually this clumsy, I was just daydreaming." As the boy ran off to find some towels, a girl joined Dawn on the floor. "Thanks so much," she said and went back to wiping. She tried to wipe some of the ink off the pages of her book and sighed. "Maybe I'll just have to buy new books..." she mumbled to herself. 

As she cleaned, she realised that she had never met this person before. Dawn decided to not come across as obnoxious, she must not speak if unnecessary. She wiped some of the ink up off of the floor, but got some on her skirt. "Gah!" she cried out in frustration. She furiously tried to wipe some of it off her clothes, but just ended up making the smudge bigger. She threw her rag down in frustration and waited for teh boy to get back with water. She took a seat on the floor in front of her desk and crossed her arms. She wiped off her hands and placed the rag back on the ground. Turning to the girl, she said, "I don't believe I caught your name. I'm Dawn Riley from Hufflepuff." 

Adohiro would get some water from the bathrooms and hurry back with a bucket of water and some paper towels. He would let some water get on the stained floor and would try to use a towel to scrub the floor. He didn't know if there was enough force to rub off the ink, however, soon it seemed like the ink had gradually disappeared. It was a bit of an annoyance but he guessed a few people were overly clumsy and not aware of their surroundings. He glanced at her clothes that were wet with ink stains, he had no idea of how he could help her with that. "There is probably a wash room or laundry room nearby. You should clean your clothes there, you can use the bucket of water too." He would finish and he would begin to wipe the desk and her books with a clean wet piece of paper towel. Soon the pace looked semi new, there were some stains but they would rub off eventually. "Hand sanitizer might get the ink off of the desk. Does anyone have hand sanitizer?" He would ask the pretty two girls that were present in front of him.  

Elisa tried to clean up the ink when she heard the other girl's voice, her name was Dawn. If she had made such a mess just to have other's attention, then she had succeeded; however, now it didn't seem she had done it on purpose, she look frustrated, sad in fact. She felt disturbingly rude for thinking that way about the girl, now that she saw Dawn with a stain on her skirt she felt awful.

"My name is Elisa, Elisa Teagan; I am a Ravenclaw," she said softly, she proceeded to add the following: "Don't worry I am sure there must be a spell o help clean those stains, in fact, we should ask a teacher." Now she tried to act as nice as possible, this girl had not been rude to her and Elisa had no right to look at her with disgust, to not trust her. She thought the girl was nice, she seemed quiet and shy, just like her. Although, she didn't want to seem shy, she wanted to look self-assured, confident, she should act like a great Wizard would. Maybe this was her opportunity to make a friend, to stop looking hopeless and lonely. Elisa smiled at Dawn.

When the boy got back, Dawn grabbed some of the wet towels and scrubbed furiously at the stains on her skirt. It didn't do her any good, all it did was rub them in further. "Oh well," she thought to herself. "At least I tried." When the boy asked for hand sanitizer, Dawn turned out her pockets in her robe and a small bottle of sanitizer fell out. Handing it to him, she asked, "Will this work?" She looked at the bottle and sighed. It was probably the most girly hand sanitizer in teh world, but it was all she had. "It's cupcake scented and has glitter in it," she said. "But hey, at least it's still hand sanitizer."

When teh girl answered Dawn's question, she mentally filed away the information. "Elisa Teagan - Ravenclaw," she thought to herself. "Pleased to meet you, Elisa," Dawn said politely, not wanting to seem shy or awkward. Normally, she would have extended her hand for a handshake, but her hands were covered in ink, and she didn't really want to get it anywhere. Elisa said something about asking a teacher for help with the stains. "Yeah," Dawn added. "I'm surprised the professor hasn't noticed yet."
