Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gregory glanced down at his book when he noticed the teacher scan the classroom in order to check if everyone was on track. Usually, Professor Collier was relaxed and not to alert to what was happening in his class. But today, the teacher seemed irritated by their actions and about ready to break down. Maybe it would be a wise choice to settle down and actually try to read the pages assigned to him. The sixth year held up his book with one hand and raised it up in front of his face. Then he leaned back in his chair and flipped through the pages, only somewhat paying attention to what knowledge the sentences were giving him. Leo hoped that this would fool Collier into thinking he was on task, so he could continue his conversation with Rosalie and Cage. The procrastinating Ravenclaw titled his head towards his Hufflepuff friend in order to here her better. Everyone had quieted down when thy noticed the teacher's aggravated expression, so he would have to strain to hear what everyone was saying. "No, I don't mind them," Gregory explained when he heard her comment. His feelings must have shown on his face, or Rosalie was good at reading people. "I just can't seem to trust people with the ability to make men look like drooling house-elves when their master gives them a new pair of socks. I guess I had a bad experience when I was small." Hopefully his explanation would do and he wouldn't seem like a total Veela-hater. If Rosalie had noticed the dislike in his eyes, then what if anyone else saw it? There were a few people out to get him, so they might be inclined to tell the Beauxbaton girl about him. That was the last thing he needed, foreign girls out for his neck! "...And I don't like girls who throw themselves out there." Leo made sure to whisper this to Rosalie, so he wouldn't be overheard, as he jerked his head in the direction of Bridget and David. The two of them had been flirting with each other all class period, but that was to be expected since the Yule Ball would soon be approaching.

Rosalie had always been a fan of Care of Magical Creatures, Gregory had noticed this fact a few years back when their houses got together for that particular class. It was obvious that she knew a lot about magical creatures and adored most of them. A smile came to his face when she told him that she liked owl's even thought that wasn't too surprising. An image of his large barn owl, Ryo, popped into his mind and then he replied, "Yeah...he's one spunky little owl! I don't know what I'd do without him." He let out a small chuckle before the teacher could hear him and tell him to take a seat somewhere else. That wouldn't be good, since he would probably have to sit on the other side of the room with Bridget and David in between him and his friends. Not good at all!

History of Magic seemed to be taking forever today. Maybe it was because Gregory used to sleep through it last year? Whatever it was, He sure couldn't make the time go any faster by staring at the hourglass on the professor's desk. Leo then returned to listening to all the conversations around him. The Beaxbaton girl and Rose's cousin were talking about going to see a Quidditch match together while Bridget and David flirted with each other in the process of relaying information to each other. The other people in the class were either listening intently to what the teacher was saying or writing notes to each other or people outside of the class. Leo watched as one girl used her chewing gum to stick a heart shaped note on the underside of her desk. Then he noticed Rosalie and Cage talking about schedules again. Rosalie had been talking fine with him, but whenever she said something to Cage she became timid and quiet. Was that how he and Ros acted like around each other? actually it was the other way around! He was the mumbling and stuttering one while Rose was perfectly fine and as great as always. Then a bright idea hit him, and he just had to ask his new friends. "Since we all don't have classes until tonight, why don't we all go down to the Quidditch pitch for a little practice? Unless you two have something better to do..."

"Maybe a little too comfortable..." he murmured as he decided that he should try to right down some of the notes that the teacher had took the time to put on the board for them. Gregory couldn't find any pieces of parchment on him, so he would just have to write it on his arm and copy it down later. Fortunately, he wouldn't get into any trouble since he didn't have any more classes today. It did hurt a little though, so he let out a chuckle so nobody would know he was in pain. Good thing it wasn't one of those punishment quills that carve it into your hand so you get the point of your punishment. Leo had heard some nasty stories about those wretched things, they had been banned from usage at Hogwarts a few years back. Some sadistic teacher liked to be a little too hard on his students and he got the boot. McGonagal wouldn't tolerate such horrific treatment to any student under her watchful eye.

The class had finally gotten quiet for the first time today since everyone was rushing to copy down the notes before class ended. The two Ravenclaw girls that had been sitting in front of him were know passing notes to each other since they had finished a long time ago. Gregory's attention was turned towards Rosalie again when she smiled at him after his comment about Ryo. She had finally started to get used to talking with him, which was a good thing. Maybe now Rosalie wouldn't be so nervous around him and he could have an enjoyable year with her in his classes. Then she answered his question about playing Quidditch. Leo noticed how she had seemed excited at first but then became hesitant. "The weekend would be fine!" he stated with a little too much excitement. The professor looked up at him and then shook his head in disappointment. The thing was Gregory really was excited to play Quidditch with her and a few other friends this weekend. The matches always took forever to approach and then they were over in a flash. To be honest, practice with the Ravenclaw Team could get somewhat boring too. Everyone else practiced with each other since their positions counted on the other players. Being the seeker was a solitary role, even though it was highly respected and seekers usually had the most fans.
