Orientation<br/><br/>*Bingly bingly beep* The noise of a intercom being turned on was heard through out the school as an unseen voice announced * Attention all students, orientation is about to begin. *bingle beep*<br/><br/>Lady Screetchfella stood and look at the students and teachers present. "Please follow me" the harpy walked through the tables towards the entrance to the great hall, she didn't look to see if the group was following her. She simply expected the teachers, student council and prefects to do there jobs. Turning right from the hall she moved down the corridor and as they walked the smell of chlorine began to reach the students nostrils, arriving at a set of closed panels the harpy pressed a button that opened the shutters revealing an Olympic sized swimming pool. "Accessable to the swimming team during free period" the head told them. Making her way back through the congregation she led the way back along the corridor to the main entrance. From there the students could clearly see two other corridors and the winding stair case. Leading the group down the second corridor the harpy approached a closed door. A sign on the door read midnight gardens. The harpy didn't stop but called out as they passed. "The gardens are only accessible at night, you may have herbology here sometimes, and the class will be at night. Continuing onwards down the same corridor she approached the finest set of double doors in the castle.."This" began the harpy "This is the school libary, you may use it at anytime"<br/><br/>"To the stairs now please everyone" the tour would involve a fair amount of back tracking as the corridors on the ground floor were nearly all dead ends. As they approached the stairs the head announced "Down the third corridor is Proffessor Haynes classroom." Leading the group up the first flight she announced "There are four wings to the school North,South, East and West. The dorms as most of you know are in the North Wing so they will be excluded from today's tour. At this time the West Wing is currently out of bounds"<br/>Heading down into the south wing the group were able to see a large open plan room, with light streaming in from the bountiful glass windows, it steamed across the collection of instruments. " I believe this is you forte.. Mr Malvallo, do you wish to say anything?"<br/><br/>The head paused allowing the currently unseen teacher to make his presence known to the students. After a brief introduction from the proffessor, the head lead the group on the circular path back to the stairs, passing empty classroom after classroom the head made no comments about such rooms. She hoped all her students were smart enough to understand a basic classroom when they saw one. Returning to the stairs they headed to the second flight into what was the East Wing. "Student Council, you offices are here!" She declared indicating with a feather wing a room that look suspiciously like a classroom, but appeared to have more luxuries. "My office and the staff room are all in this wing of the school" she announced, not worrying about going down the corridors to show the students rooms that were of no concern to them.<br/><br/>Stepping back down the stairs the head followed closely by the more attentive and studious students headed towards the castle doors to head out into the grounds the head reached out to open the heavy door.. and that was when it happened the first prank at the year. The first in a series of paint fire works goes of and completely covers the group around the door in brightly colored paint blobs. As this bomb goes of it triggers of an entire net work of bombs down the open hallways, paint splattering student and teacher alike, red, blues, yellows exploding everywhere, with the group's current location there was no where to escape to, and the group simply had to endure the rain of paint. As these bombs go off some of the trigger of hidden traps with other rooms, and splats explode all over the school, no room or student is left untouched by the extensive and well executed plan. The head turned her features rigid with anger "You will all be seeing me in my office later!" With this the head stalked out into the grounds. Ever the professional was she determine to at least let the students know what was in the grounds before she rushed of to deal with the paint slowly sticking her feathers together.<br/><br/>Moving out into the extensive gardens the head said frostily, "the sports area and greenhouses are within these grounds, take your time and explore the area. You have an hour until classes begin. Any of the other teachers will make themselves known to you in time, Are there any questions?"
