Summer strolled into the classroom, she glanced around and smiled at the teacher. Then she noticed another man sitting in a remotely comfy looking chair, without an expression, she found herself a seat near Lana. "Hey." she whispered as she scanned the board, quickly writing down her thoughts in a curly handwriting.
Journel Entry 2: How dangerous does a boggart seem to you? If you don't know what one is, just write you don't know. Boggarts highten your senses of fear, this may cause mental stress and harm to you. Everyone has fears, whether or not they believe it. Even almighty wizards, such as the Dark Lord. He, unfortunately, has a fear of death and mortality. But even though a Boggart will take your worst fear and highten it, it won't physically hurt you. And if you can learn to control your fears, or if you're not THAT scared of it then you can easily preform the countercurse for it, Riddikulus and make it amusing. It is only as dangerous as you let it be.
She got up and handed the parchment to the teacher, with a smile as she sat back down and waited for the lesson to continue.

Jasper watched as more and more people came in, and began to study each of them. It was, and had been, a habit of his to "people watch," get to know a person's habits, daily schedule, their likes... but usually, he just watched them. Currently, he was watching Artemis, who, I think, was sitting either next to him or near him.

Summer twirled her hair subconsciencely as she waited for the teacher to continue. She glanced back at the man, and just suspected that he was from the ministry. She turned back, but caught the sight of a staring ravenclaw boy, who appeared to be staring at Artemis. She didn't know him, but smiled at him anyway, though she doubted that he'd see it.

He did see it, and began to watch her now. Was it her... no. She wasn't the one talking to that other kid. He shrugged, wondering why he cared. He gave a small smile back, and laid his head on the desk, bored. Still watching. But bored.

Jack looked at how Evan's class was running, feeling a bit surprised. So far everything had been smooth, and that was surprising him a good bit. He scribbled something on his paper and continued to watch.
Evan read through the journal topics and decided that it would be a good time for class to start. Any stragglers would of course be punished, and he hoped he'd have a few Gryffindor ones. "Alright students, hush down," he announced even though the room was already pretty quiet. "Today we're obviously doing boggarts, but I'm repeating that for any dunderheads that can't read." His eyes flickered over to a few Gryffindors when he said this, but not to anyone in particular.
"A good bit of you seem to know about boggarts while some are completely clueless," he spoke. "So right now we'll just talk about the basics of a boggart, however, near the end of the lesson I will release one and see how you can handle it. Now what is a boggart?" asked Evan as he looked around the room for any raised hands.

'Oh, that's an easy one' Syne thought to herself and calmly raised her hand. "Boggarts are shapeshifters. They prefer dark, confined places and take the shape of the thing a person fears most." Syne didn't care if people thought her a know it all. She firmly believed in coming to class prepared and if the other students didn't then that was their fault and not hers.

"That's right," nodded Evan. "They're shapeshifters that transform into what people fear most," he repeated in case people hadn't heard Syne. "Therefore they can be quite a formiddable enemy, but it's really all up to you and how you respond to your worst fear being thrown into your face," he explained. "Can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?"

Artemis, deciding to answer this one, raised her hand lazily and said, "No one knows. A boggart takes the shape of what you fear the most the moment it senses it so no one ever sees its true form." She glanced at the guy in the back and shrugged, wondering what he was doing there.

Jasper frowned. What did he fear the most... well, he'd figure it out if he came across the boggart. Maybe he wouldn't, though. He could always hope.

Sami walked in late. She saw class had already started. She sat down.
"Sorry Professor. I was skipping History of Magic when I fell asleep," Sami said, amazingly she was being honest, "Believe me I wouldn't want to be late to this class. It seems more interesting then well all of them. And now I sound like a teacher's pet Ravenclaw, and I'm going to shut up."

Artemis glared at the back of the girl's head and shrugged she looked at the boy she was sitting near, and said, "Hi, I'm Artemis. Who are you?"
Jessica slunk down a bit farther in her chair and glanced up at the teacher to see what his reaction would be. The other teachers had been angry, but he didn't get angry when Peeves came in.

Jasper looked at her, and blinked. He didn't really know what to do, even though he'd been through this situation twice now. He blinked again, and didn't do anything. Yeah. He didn't do anything. You read it right.

Artemis looked at him for a couple of seconds while he blinked and junk like that then shrugged and glanced up at the teacher again.

Lana wondered if they would be facing a boggart in class today. That would be pretty ineteresting. She wouldn't know what her boggart would be. She's afraid of losing her magic and becoming a muggle like her mother, but that can't soemthing a boggart could turn into. Lana glanced over the Professor's brother, who seem to be watching Professor Brennan with intense interest.

"Who is he?" she whispered as she caught Lana's gaze and glanced back to him. Shrugging, she turned back to the professor. Shrugging, she went to turn back. Catching the eyes of the Ravenclaw boy from earlier, she gave a weak smile and turned awkwardly. Slightly freaked out by him but shrugging it off. She glanced back at her professor and wondered what her boggart would be. Probably the little useless brother of mine... she thought affectionately.
