Rose looked up as a note, passed by her friend Carmondy,dropped on top of her notes. She read the message and smiled. She inked her quill and wrote another message beneath the previous:
Ok, what is it this time?
She glanced at Prof. Binns, who was engrossed in his lecture, and Tapped Carmondy on the shoulder with the parchment.

"...As though an invisible hand were writing upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map.
'Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and beg him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other peoples buisness.'...'Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an Ugly Git.'...'Mr.Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor.'...'Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball!'
Carmondy
Carmondy reached back over her shoulder and grasped the reply note. She quickly read it and wrote in return: Lets throw the first party of the year! Only not a lame common room party. Something with a bit more...flare.
Carmondy
Carmondy grinned and wrote back, Well.....the teachers usually chaperon these little "social events". Which means they end at like 11:00. Where's the fun in that? Parties are supposed to last till whenever. SO...I don't think the teachers should exactly know a/b this. I'm not saying we have to flat out lie to them...just never really mention it. And it wouldn't be in a common room. It'd have to be somewhere else. After class we should go looking around for somewhere. What do you say? We can get Morgan to come too.
Rose's note.
Rose read the note. She glanced at Prof. Binns. He was completely oblivious to the fact that She and Carmondy were passing notes. She wondered why Dumbledore didn't get a more 'lively' teacher. She smiled at her own joke. She re-inked her quill and penned another note to Carmondy:
Ok, but where exactally? Do you have a place in mind? And when? It has to be somwhere the teachers won't find us out after curfew.
She reached out and tapped Carmondy on the Shoulder with it, and Carmondy reached out and took it. bookworm
CarmondyI have somewhere in mind, yes.... it may sound crazy at first but w/ a few charms here and there, and some lighting arrangments It'll be awesome! I'm thinking on Friday, that way everyone won't be tired for classes. See, I'm thinking ahead for once! After class we can get planning.
Carmondy
Carmondy smiled to herself, while rolling her eys in Binns direction. It was as if the whole clas wasn't even there.... Patience, my dear! You guys will both know after class. ew, Rose, the owlery smells bad! Then again....maybe there's a charm to fix that....

Re: Carmondy
Fighting sleep, Morgan Louisa deftly slipped a scrap of parchment from her bag, hid it behind her text, inked her quill, and wrote -
What ARE the two of you so excited about?
-M.
Smiling, she folded the note. With her wand hidden in her lap she muttered a spell to levitate the paper and sped it along the aisle a few inches above the ground to come to rest on top of Carmondy's shoe.

Re: Carmondy
Sounds good...where?
-M.
Morgan levitated the note, grinned exultantly to herself, and went back to pretending to study Binns' text.

Binns' lecture
"...and in that year, the year of 312 BC, the goblins agreed to have a peace treaty. They met to discuss plans at the Fort of Halboliarts, but the whole thing eventually ended with the goblin leader stabbing the Warlock Jardod in the back, after he found a beetle in his soup...." Professor Binns read on in a monotonous voice. He couldn't hear any talking, not that he was listening, but that must only mean that everybody was paying rapt attention. He continued, "This circumstance has led to the annual goblin holiday called by them simply 'Stab the Warlock Leader Day.' It has been the cause of many wars, such as the war of 307, a little after the previous war of which we have spoken..."
OCC: My brother was here watching me and he's yawning already. Am I a great Prof. Binns or what, huh? At least he's easy. Only two posts in two pages!

Re: Binns' lecture
"Spare me," Morgan muttered, amusing herself with doodling in her textbook. It wouldn't be a problem - she could always go to Bran for an ink removal spell later. He'd be furious, but he'd do it. There were advantages to having a genius brother who adored you.

Lily yawned, valiantly striving to take notes despite the stupor-inducing quality of the lecture.
Stab the Goblin Leader Day, she wrote. Sighing, she crossed out Goblin and replaced it with Warlock - what a failure.
~*~
Thomas was bored. Looking around the classroom, he saw his own expression reflected in every other face present - there would be a rousing market for History of Magic notes after this class. Those who could stand to take notes at all made a large profit before quizzes and exams, selling their information to others not so persevering. It was a good idea, if rather under the table.

Re: Binns' lecture
Marti scrawled away, her thoughts not unlike Thomas'. Must stay awake....need more art supplies....must stay awake....
~*~
James approvingly watched Marti take notes - they were always the most concise, so he was always sure to get his money's worth. His brow furrowed...how much did he have? James smirked, Maybe Sirius can sweet talk his way into getting them for free. He needs to work on her anyway.

Re: Binns LectureHow can anyone stand this? Aaron thought. They have to have a secret, earmuffs or something. He looked around the room, but as far as he could see, no one was wearing earmuffs. I might as well just start planning something, although Mark will have some good suggestions, anything to stay alive, he probably killed himself by talking. Aaron smirked at his own joke. Waite just a minute, there are just a few people still awake, if I took notes and sold them, I could make a fortune! Aaron jerked himself awake and started writing. This is going to be harder than I thought.
OOC: Sorry for stealing your joke, but it just fit so well!

Re: Binns Lecture
Brandon scowled, adjusted his magically enhanced invisible earmuffs, and yawned. Unlike most of the students in the room, he didn't find History of Magic nearly as boring as some - it was the only class where he could completely tune it out (literally) and work on other things. As for passing the course, it wasn't hard - it was all stuff he had memorized years earlier, anyway.
The earmuffs had been a suggestion of Morgan Louisa's. As loathe as he generally was to condone any of her harebrained and rule-bending schemes, Bran had realized that this idea had merit - and promptly set about magicking a pair of Muggle earmuffs to not only block out only Binns' voice, but also to be completely invisible to the casual observer. (If one was looking for them, one might see a flash of color or a shifting pattern around Bran's ears, but otherwise they were impossible to see.) Now Bran was studying a thick text on advanced transfiguration (far more advanced than the stuff students at school ever learned) without even bothering to disguise it from the ghost professor.
~*~
Morgan grinned and suppressed a giggle as she glanced in Bran's direction and caught sight of a pink swirl. He'd been rather offended when she snuck him a pair of brilliantly pink earmuffs to work with - but she was able to convince him that, once invisible, it wouldn't matter because no one but her would be able to see anything anyhow. But it still served to liven up a dull lecture, seeing a hot pink cloud floating around her brother's ears.
