History of Magic

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"Exactly," Millicent winked before sighing and blowing at her bangs. She glanced to the door, "I really don't think anyone is gonna come teach this class."

[Caden McGinnis]

"Hey," Caden gave a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders, "that works just fine for me. In fact...," he tilted his head to one side in thought a moment, before pushing himself off the desk and hopping to his feet. He proceeded to cross the room, up to the front of the class and then rounded on Millicent with a very stoic expression as he placed his arms behind his back. "I believe I'll just have to teach this class for the day."

[Millicent Bulstrode]

Suppressing the urge to giggle, the girl adopted a more alert expression before looking to Caden with a nod, "of course. I think that'd be best, professor McGinnis."

[Caden McGinnis]

"Yes, I daresay it would, Miss Bulstrode," he nodded in agreement, beginning to pace back and forth in front of the classroom. "Now then...history. Today, we will be learning a thing or two about history. This lesson will be taking a slightly different turn, as we will delve into our own pasts, the history of our magic."

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"Sounds very interesting to me," Millicent replied as she brought a hand through a strand of hair and began twirling it flirtatiously. "Professor."

[Caden McGinnis]

"Oh, I'm sure," Caden nodded in agreement, furrowing his brow as he continued pacing, bringing his hands in front of him as he folded them together. "So, shall we begin with a bit of Q and A? Miss Bulstrode," he gestured to her, "how'd you like to volunteer?"

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"I'd love to," Millicent responded with an enthusiastic nod. "Fire away."

[Caden McGinnis]

"Good. Very good," he nodded again. "Now then, tell the class...what is the most recent spell you've used?"

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"A straightening charm," Millicent now ran a hand along the length of a wide strand of her hair.

[Caden McGinnis]

"And I'd say it was performed...perfectly," he winked at her, before quickly clearing his throat and regaining his 'teacher' composure. "Now then...if you can remember, can you tell the class what the first spell was that you ever performed upon receiving your wand?"

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"Ooh," Millicent replied. This required some thinking. Hm..."I think it was some charm they taught us in my first year at this school. How to accio something. It came in handy for when I didn't feel like getting up and grabbing things. Probably the one I use the most, actually."

[Caden McGinnis]

"Oh, yes," Caden nodded his head. "Commonly referred to as the fat-a$$ spell."

[Millicent Bulstrode]

Millicent's mouth dropped and the amusement instantly faded. She then glared and her hand clenched into a fist, "Are you calling me fat, Caden?!"

[Caden McGinnis]

"Did I say that?" Caden awarded her a forced, wide-eyed innocent look, as he lifted his hand to press it against his chest.

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"Yes, you did!" Millicent abruptly stood from her seat and pointed an accusing finger at him. "Is that what you really think? If not, you'd better take it back now." Was she fat? I mean, she had thought she was doing great by losing those 5 pounds over the summer.

[Caden McGinnis]

"Miss Bulstrode...," he quickly cleared his throat, "I believe you're jumping to assumptions here. Simply because it's a spell that encourages fat-assness, that doesn't mean I, in any way, am implying your ass is fat. On the contrary, it's quite...," here, he dropped the teacher role and shot her another wink, "fine."

[Millicent Bulstrode]

Millicent's anger instantly faded and she quirked a brow before smirking, "so, I'm just the exception then?" His a$$ wasn't bad either.

[Caden McGinnis]

"I'm sure there are others, but yours is one of the best I've seen," Caden returned easily.

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"Well, thank you," Millicent chuckled. "I suppose yours is alright too." She then stepped back before walking back to her seat with a bounce in her step and sitting. She looked to him attentively, "I'm sorry for interrupting your lesson, professor."

[Caden McGinnis]

"That's quite alright, Miss Bulstrode," Caden nodded his head. "I apologize for the misunderstanding."

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"I'll forgive you," Millicent nodded. "But do try to take my insecurity into account next time, 'kay?"

[Caden McGinnis]

"Of course, of course," Caden assured the girl, before folding his hands and beginning to pace once more. "Back to our histories. Miss Bulstrode, what is the darkest spell you've ever cast?"

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"I extinguished all the lights at one of my parent's parties," Millicent responded with a playful smirk. "It was definitely the darkest, no doubt about it."

[Caden McGinnis]

Caden couldn't help the laugh that erupted from his throat. "Wow...," he shook his head. "That's awesome, right there. I gotta give you like 15 points for that lil' pun o' yours. Plus, maybe another 3 for the spell itself. That's pretty damn great."

[Millicent Bulstrode]

Both of Millicent's hands shot into the air victoriously and she bit her lip with a firm nod. Hell yeah. When she lowered them, she grinned and looked to Caden through a set of excited eyes. She gave a little bow, "muchas gracias. I'm just that awesome."

[Caden McGinnis]

"You sure are," Caden agreed, still laughing a little. "What's that put you at? 25?"

[Millicent Bulstrode]

"I think so," Millicent replied, tilting her head. "You'll have to step up your game, senor."

[Caden McGinnis]

"You know, I think you're kinda biased," he cast her a wink. "You're just determined not to give me any points, aren't you?"

[Millicent Bulstrode]

Millicent's jaw dropped and she tilted her head, looking to him innocently. "Of course not. That'd be so unfair of me. I just have some particularly high standards."

[Caden McGinnis]

"Hm...s'pose that'd account for the discrepancy," Caden allowed.
