Rita watched from the front of the class as her students trickled in. The first month of the school year had flown by and Rita had fully settled in. Things were going well and Rita was happy with how the students were responding to her lessons so far. As the clock that hung in the back of the room let out a small chime to signify the start of the lesson, Rita flicked her wand at the door to close and lock it. Anyone who was late and wanted to get in would have to knock, but Rita figured she’d taught her students not to be late.
“Good morning everyone. First of all, here are your graded essays,” Rita said, as she waved her wand to the neat stack of parchments on the desk. The essays flew off to land on the desks of the students that had written them. Rita smiled “I was very pleased with your work. Keep it up.”
She gave her students a bit of time to look at their essay and its grade. She knew some of them would be happy with their grades, while others would be disappointed. She didn’t believe she was a harsh grader, but she didn’t believe in giving her students a higher grade than they deserved either.
“Now,” she said after a minute or two, “the lesson today will be the final lesson on common garden creatures. We've discussed Knarls, Gnomes, and Horklumps, and although this one isn’t to be found in a common garden it is a common enough creature that lives outside that I’m discussing it in this series anyway. We’re going to be talking about Porlocks, also known as horse-guardians. Can anyone tell me what a Porlock looks like?”
((OOC: Rita mentions some lessons we haven’t played out, but the first class on Knarls was the very first lesson in September, while this class is the last one in September. Also, the grades Rita hands out can be found here.))
