<div class="floatleft"> <br/> (http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/close-up-with-blond1.jpg) <br/> </div><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Ms Ellie Cooper (Elly)<br/><strong>Nom De Guerre:</strong>The Switch<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Magic/Psychic Fortitude Teacher<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Magic and Psychic Fortitude Classroom, Tech Hall<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Molly, Yvette & Kasume<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Now feeling was time to begin, after receiving a sweet smile from an as yet unknown pupil, who will later be known to her as Kasume, Elly, returned the smile and cleared her throat. She then took a sip of water from the glass upon her desk. He then slid the register in front of her and read out the names within it. Being in alphabetical order Molly Barker was at the top, so she smiled and whilst still looking at the desk she read from there downwards.<strong>“Molly Barker?”</strong>she then looked up to see who answered before looking down once again to see who was next. In time she got to Yvette Halls and when she did she once again looked up and spoke the name<strong>“Yvette Halls?”</strong>This for Elly was as mundane as it gets since she was sort of looking forward to showing the class the joys of defending against magic. Mundane it might be but she was methodical so she continued on until finally she got to Kasume Richardson. Felling more confident and with only one person remaining that she had not looked at, she turned to Kasume, the girl who had smiled at her earlier, and asked<strong>“I assume you must be Kasume Richardson?”</strong>She then smiled and awaited a nod or any sort of response really.<br/><br/>She then stood and walked the stride to the blackboard and as she did she spoke again.<strong>“Well now that the register is out of the way, I am Ms Cooper.”</strong>With a ruler in hand she tapped the board where her name was and then moved the ruler to the title of the first lesson or indeed the title of the subject that they will be exposed to during their time with her over the next few weeks.<strong>“If you are feeling that you do not need to be here then think again. Just because you can not use magic yourself does not mean you will not have to defend against it, so pay attention as it could save your life someday.”</strong><br/><br/>She then went silence as if drawing a blank, but soon remedied this with a question to all.<strong>“Now tell me and don’t be shy. What have you heard or indeed what do you know about magic. Your answer can be as wild as you like. Do not hold back as you never know you might be right.”</strong>Picking people at random was something that every teacher had to do, so she looked to the pupils within the room and called out an order of names.<strong>“Let us see what Molly has to say, then Yvette followed by Kasume after which we can discuss what you have all contributed. While you address the class I will write on the board your thoughts.”</strong>She then smiled to Molly and asked<strong>“Would you like to come up front with me or are you happy to seat there to share your thoughts?”</strong>While she waited for a reply, she scanned the room and added<strong>“The same goes for the rest of you. You can either come up front or sit where you are to tell the class your ideas.”</strong><br/><br/>
