((This is my second try. THIS time, follow all the rules you guys have ever learned. Type correctly, keep with the plot, and imagine you were here from the first post on. You must have at least three sentences to post.))
The bell rang loudly and Ginny clapped her hands for the attention of her students. She smiled, her eyes twinkling as she looked over them. After there was silence she nodded.
"Well, I must tell you guys my interesting news."
Ginny herself was interesting. Her bright red hair was braided down her back, pulled from her face. She wore jeans and an oversized hoodie, uncommon for teachers. Common for her, however.
But something seemed different.
She seemed to almost glow.
"Or should I wait until after class?"
Stacey straightened in her seat in the third row. Please, please, please. Now! She said anxiously in her mind, momentarily forgetting that Ginny could hear whatever she thought. Crud! She thought as she suddenly remembered.
Bucky read Stacey's mind then laughed out loud. no one was speaking so Bucky looked at Ginny strait in her two eyes waiting for her to tell the class but she just stood there looking sad so Bucky had no choice but too send to everyone in class(including Ginny) a message by telepathy the message was *if you want Ginny to tell now raise your hand,don't if you want her to tell after class* a few hands shot up including...................................................
James sat towards the back of the room listening to what Ginny was saying. He knew he did not care when Ginny had told her new. He just wanted to know.
He then smiled as he saw what Ginny was wearing and laughed. He was not used to showing up to class and he did not relize that Ginny did not wear robes like everyone. James however kept his hand down.
((Bucky, do not try and control the RP. Just be thankful you are included.))
Ginny did not look sad at all. Her happiness seemed endless as she smiled at them, pulling herself up onto her desk. She sat now, swinging her legs as small children do.
"Well," She winked at Stacey, "I'll tell you now. In a few months, I will no longer be your teacher. You will have a substitute for the rest of the year."
Stacey groaned loudly as she heard what Ginny said. Her hand shot into the air. I know you see my hand. She taunted impatiently. Her eyes swirled a deep grey.
Ginny didn't answer her telepathically. She ignored the taunt and simply stared at Stacey, unblinking for a full minute. Then she nodded slowly.
"You have a question, Stacey?"
Stacey couldn`t help but smile at Ginny. "Why?" She pleaded, her smile disappearing in seconds. She couldn`t imagine the school without Ginny there, she had helped Stacey so much.
((And will we fing out why you`re leaving and why the post is called "bright blue eyes"?))
((I was WAITING for someone to ask, haha. Yeah, you might figure it all out.))
"Well..." Ginny smiled again, her eyes twinkling, "You see, when I leave, it'll be because I won't have enough time to be your teacher. I'll still be around," She added, feeling the sadness of her students, "but I simply won't be able to teach."
She didn't explain why she wasn't going to be their teacher anymore. She was waiting for them to press the issue. She wanted them to try and get answers, just like she had always taught them.
In the mean time, the red head simply kept her smile on her face, kept swinging her feet, and kept looking secretive. She knew they couldn't resist. Ginny knew her students well.
Stacey scowled; she was using her neighbor`s powers to feel Ginny`s emmotions. You know I hate it when you do this. She thought angrily to Ginny. Stacey had been feeling very impatient all day, and this class did nothing to change that. Once again, Stacey`s hand flew to the air.
((Not LITERALLY!))
((Haha, that would be funny to see someone's hand flying.))
Ginny's eyebrows went up, but she didn't call on Stacey. Instead, she looked past her and began talking.
"I don't know who your sub will be. Chances are, however, that the teacher will be more in tune with our lovely headmaster." The disgust in her voice was apparent when she spoke of the headmaster. She cleared her throat, "So you won't be learning as much as I've been teaching you."
Stacey snorted with disgust. She put her hand down as Ginny started to speak. You`re goignt o torture me with this, aren`t you? She thought to Ginny. I`m going to suffer enough with you gone, please don`t make me suffer while you`re still here. She begged.
((I know, right!))
Albus sat in the back of the classroom, getting disappointed. Why was it that all of the actually good teachers always had to go? And who could replace Ginny? Where could you find such a skilled teacher and woman? Albus looked at his feet. ~This is just starting to get advanced here too! Crap..~
Albus looked up, deciding to pay a bit more attention.
Bucky was trying to figre out why Ginny was not going to teach anymore using telepothy. He just could not read her mind she was so good at 'mind blocking' it was driving him crazy so the only thing he could do is raise his hand hoping Ginny would see it. He held his hand up for sevral minutes not caring about the pain up his arm he kept it up hoping Ginny would notice it.
Ginny inspected her fingernails for a long moment, then looked up, pretending to be surprised at the intensity of the stares of her students. "Oh. I guess you guys want to know why, huh?"
She grinned, letting them know she was simply teasing them. She was very happy, excited even.
Stacey glared at Ginny. Tell me! Stacey thought; she got a look from the person in front of her, apparently, they could read minds too. Stacey ignored them and stared impatiently at Ginny.
Albus smiled back to her, already knowing it. He guarded his mind, as he always did, but hid the answer in his mind. It was easy to guess, when you saw at the facts she had given them.
Not wanting to spoil the excitement -and Ginny's teasing- he remained quiet, with a better-knowing-than-you smile.
Ginny winked at Albus, knowing he knew. She hopped off her desk and face the class, her hands on her hips.
"As most of you know, about five years ago, I was a teacher. I was 17 at the time." She smiled, she still looked like she was 17. "I was so in love with this guy. But then something happened, and he dissappeared. I quit my jobs here and at the Ministry of Magic two months after he was gone."
She grinned, "This story ends with me showing back up with a little boy." She paused, "My son Cody. Whom all of you have met at some point." She laughed, imagining the child.
"Well, then I had quit my job because I was pregnant."
She winked at them, "Same reason."
Bucky looked at all the excited looking pepole in the room then he yelled at the top of his lungs "Congratulations Ginny do you no the sex?" He asked
Gunny chuckled, "Thank you Bucky." She said, then shook her head, "It's too early to tell right now. I'm only about a month along."
She certainly didn't look pregnant.
Stacey`s jaw dropped and her eyes spiraled into a brilliant blue. Inside, her mind was making fireworks. Congratulations Ginny! I`m so happy for you! Stacey thought honestly. She couldn`t believe it, but at the same time, she was ecstatic.
Ginny smiled and nodded, "As you can well understand, once I get so far along, I simply cannot continue to teach here at Hogwarts."
She paused, tapping her top lip thoughtfully, "Though, I will always be your teacher. And if any of you ever need my help, feel free to contact me."
"Well!" She clapped her hands together, "Now that we've gotten that over, who practiced with the elemental orbs?"
Bucky raised his handand noticed heb had a big rash on it so he swapped hands thinking *How far along are you*.
(I don't no what else to add))
( Did we learn that?)
Albus raised his hand insecurely, not having mastered it completely yet.
But, he had to feel confident in himself, or else, he'd screw up.
Smiling, he now put his hand straight up. He was ready.
((For the sake of argument, let's say yes.))
"Albus." She pointed at him, "Good. Why don't you come up here and show us all how it's done?"
Ginny smiled, letting him know she knew he could do it.
Jessie perked up. She knew that Albus was amazing with elements, and wanted to know everything about them. She was sad that Ginny was leaving, but 8 more months couldn't be that bad... could it?
Albus got up, smiled and walked up to the desk. He turned, feeling his blue skin getting a deeper color as he focused his powers. Grasping the essence of ice, he forced it out, into the shape of an orb.
A fure appeared in his forehead, but it gently smoothed out as he started to finish the process.
His smile had vanished, but when he finished, a big grin appeared, and in his palm, an orb the size of a marble, appeared.
Albus turned to Ginny, mouthing " Is this right? "
Jessie burst into applause. She couldn't believe you could do that. That meant that you could potentially throw an orb at someone... Her face looked utterly mischevious, her eyebrows raised, and her eyes partially closed, she looked as though she knew of a secret weapon.
Ginny nodded, "Good job, Albus. You should practice on making them bigger though." She smiled, "And on making them faster."
She held out her own hand, forming an orb that was the size of a baseball. It sparkled with orange and yellow light, a fire orb. She smiled, rolling it around her hand and then snapping her fingers to make it disappear.
She nodded at Albus, holding out her hand, "Mind if I study it for a grade?"
Jessie watched in fascination as Ginny made her orb. She raised her hand in question, wanting to know all that she could about orbs.
" Ok! " Albus smiled, and was amazed by what Ginny could summon forth.
Ginny Weasley was truly amazing.
Albus gently handed it over, not wanting to drop it, knowing it would cause extreme damages.
Jessie bit her lip as she watched the orb be exchanged. She had read about what would happen, and knew that it would be a very bad idea to drop an orb.
((ALBUS I LOVE YOUR SIGGY!!!))
"Thank you." Ginny took the orb, wrapping her hand around it carefully and making it disappear. She nodded, "Go ahead and take your seat."
She went to the board, picking up the chalk and writing as she spoke.
"The whole thing with elements is that our world, our bodies, everything is made up of them!" She wrote the words 'The Human Body' and turned back to the class.
"Can anyone tell me what the major element of humans is?"
Albus went back at his place, smiling. The second he had heard Ginny, his hand shot to the air.
Feeling pleased with himself, his mind wandered.
(( I KNOW! :D XD! I love it too! ))
((Haha! I love it too! That's Hillarious! Where did you find it?))
Jessie frowned. She knew what humans where made of, skin, bones, fat, and muscle. But the major element was a different story. She raised her hand anyways, a guess couldn't hurt.
((Sorry for the not RP post Ginny, but I just have to tell ! :P
I got it on another site, called animerumor.com/forums ))
((I love FullMetal Alchemist...))
"Jessie?" Ginny nodded to the young girl, crossing her arms as she shivered. But she smiled, she knew it was part of her being pregnant. She had spent most of her first pregnancy shivering. It was also why she hadn't slept well in the last few weeks.
She waited for Jessie to answer, but the back of her mind wandered.
"Well I think we're made up of a combination of elements. I mean, if our body is 80% water, then that's one element, but if we were made entirely of water, we'd all just be puddles." Jessie said, trying to summarize what she could.
Ginny slowly nodded, "Close. Water and earth are the major elements of the body." She wrote that one the board. Her writing was slightly lopsided, but she wrote under the two elements another word.
Soul.
"So, what makes up our souls?"
~Air~ Jessie thought, automatically. Well, based on the movies, it was air. As she thought more about it, though, she couldn't quite place what it was made of. At least, it wasn't made up of any of the main elements, that was for sure. But the what could it be?
Albus put his hand down, his mind now completely focused, and racing.
~Soul... What is the soul made of? hmm...~
Not finding any logical answer, he stopped thinking, knowing that he couldn't find any real answer.
All he said, would be guessing.
(( I also love it! I'm considering to re watch the whole thing soon! ))
((They are making a new series about it. How, I dunno. After all, they ended with the movie!))
Ginny grinned, "Stumped you guys, huh?"
She winked at her students and turned back to the board. Underneath the word soul, she wrote.
"Nothing. There is no element to our souls. Our souls, are in fact, elements in themselves."
Jessie opened her notebook and wrote, Soul is an element.
She raised her hand to ask a question, this whole soul thing was confusing her.
"Yes Jessie?"
Ginny hadn't even turned around from the board, she was studying it carefully. But she knew that Jessie had a question, knew that she had out her hand up.
It was unnerving how much she knew what was going on in the room.
She rubbed her eyes and turned, nodding at Jessie.
Albus's eyes widened.
~Soul is an element?~ Confused, he tried to make up a logical explanation inside himself.
But, he proved himself wrong, not making a good explanation.
Wanting to ask Ginny soon, he left the case, and payed attention to the class again.
"Well if soul is an element, can you control it?" Jessie asked, almost scared to know.
If you could control soul, you could control a person. And that meant that you could rule the world. It also meant that others could control you.
"Mmhmm." Ginny nodded, her smile fading. She knew what Jessie meant.
"It's entirely possible. How do you think Voldemort was capable of so much? He was master at the most complicated element. Souls. He knew them inside and out...he was capable of controlling them, controlling people."
She sighed, "It's hard to do, however. And few people know how, so it's even harder to find a teacher."
Stacey nodded to herself when Ginny said soul was an element; she had that as her main guess. How could it be made of anything else? The next likely thing would have been air, and a soul couldn`t be made of air, it just wasn`t possible.
She pursed her lips into a tight line when Voldemort came into the conversation. He had been the reason why she didn`t have any grandparents or great-grandparents on her dad`s side. She raised her hand to asked a question.
"Stacey?" Ginny pointed at Stacey, nodding slightly. Slowly, she sat down behind her desk. It wasn't that she was tired of the class. It was because she was tired in general. She got less sleep lately.
Stacey hesitated before she spoke. "Is there any possible way a spirit, or ghost, could control someone`s soul?" She asked. She had been freaking out a lot recently about things to do with ghosts and spirits since she heard them in her head.
A voice was becoming a little clearer in her head; she had become distracted from keeping her mind blck strong enough to keep most of the voices quiet.
Ginny seemed to freeze, blinking slowly. She sighed, rubbing the side of her head.
"Well, not ghosts or spirits." She frowned, "Memories...they are different."
Stacey gulped silently. "What`s... what`s a memory?" She asked slowly without raising her hand again. Her eyes had shifted to a thoughtful orange as she tried to figure out if what she was thinking was true.
Ginny rubbed her eyes, "Part of what a person used to be...a memory, a shadow of what they once were...caught up in physical every day things. Like books. Or buildings. They are usually dormant, though."
She bit her lip, "Unless, you bring them out. Like I did once."
Stacey pursed her lips tightly and didn`t speak for a few moments. "A horcrux?" She whispered, knowing Ginny would have heard her. "What if it wasn`t a horcrux? What if it wasn`t contained in something? What if it lived in someone`s mind, forcing that person to do as the thing wanted?" She questions came out in a rush.
Ginny shook her head, "No. In order to control a soul, it has to somehow have one. Even if the soul is split."
She continued frowning though, "Having a soul is more complicated than any of us understand. It's not just what we are, how we think...it's who we are. No one's souls are exactly alike..."
Stacey sighed in her head; Ginny hadn`t really answered all of her questions.
"Then what would a substance be if it didn`t have a body, if it was just a soul. Most likely an evil one, at that. Could that substance get into someone`s... head, or thoughts, and, basically, posess them?" She asked, her voice words quickly rolling out of her mouth.
Albus sighed. This was out of his reach. He hated it when people talked about things,
dangerous things, that could occur in real life. Because he started worrying about it.
So, he was passively listening to the class, while he looked out the window.
If they changed subject, he'd pay attention.
