<div class="floatleft">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/close-up-with-blond1.jpg)</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 & Robert<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>During the break, Elly spent her time moving from the classroom to the backroom to collect several things, one of which was more courage to carry on with the lesson. During this time, she considered finishing the lesson early, more for her own nerves and not for the students benefit. Well it would be for their benefit really. Being taught by a gibbering wreck would be no lesson of quality really. The break or indeed the reason behind such a thing was partly because of this. Limited exposure to new people was the way to go. Even with all of her idiosyncrasies, Elly had to admit that overall those in the class were quite wonderful, even 'Molly'. Their faces in no particular order flashed in to her mind; Yvette's appreciative smile towards her when Elly had acknowledged her answer and her clear interest when Elly had changed forms; Kasume meticulous note taking was quite something and the polite smile, which reminded Elly that at least she was ready to hear what she had to say; Molly and her sweet thank you for the lesson so far; Robert, oh Robert. How much trouble was Elly willing to get into with him. Reminding herself to stay professional with that boy. Although his acknowledgement of her existence, perhaps had more to her being his teacher and not that he wanted her in the same way has she wanted him. However, this would not be the first time Elly had misunderstood the intentions of a possible suitor. Mentioning no names, Captain Indestructible. For Robert, she would practice transforming into a younger more appealing female. Perhaps one that looked like Molly as he seemed to like her. Yes that was an idea. She would spend time with Molly, befriend her initially to help her through her issues but with the intention of finding out what makes her tick so that she can act more like her. Perhaps in time Robert might start to look at her differently. It was at this point she felt as if she was being ridiculous, well she was, so she put her teaching head back and on smiled to the class.<br/><br/>Now ready to discuss more magical topics with her students, she crossed her fingers behind her back. After drinking a whole glass of water, she refilled and addressed the class.<strong>"As I said before the short break, we will now be looking at the differences between tricks, such as many of the psychic powers, and real magic. Something you might have learnt today is that magic, real magic, flows through us and you are all here because you have magic within you."</strong>She then looked to the returning Molly, who had returned with Robert, and addressed the class.<strong>"Well Molly has already shown one of the things she can do. So class, going in the same order as before, what can each of you do? And if you feel confident enough to show the rest of us, take what you need from the benches before you and from the shelves around the room to demonstrate."</strong><br/><br/>Yvette was the first person she looked at followed by Kasume and then finally Robert. She felt giving Molly a chance to shine would have to wait for another time. Not because of Robert and her likeness for the girl but more for Molly nervous disposition. She felt that giving her anything else to do would give the poor girl a stroke. Besides Elly had already suggested that Molly had already done her bit of magic for today with her disappearing act. Even though she left Molly out of this activity, she gave her a warm smile which she kept when looking at the others in the class.<strong>"Yvette your up. Collect what you need and we can begin, unless you just want to explain what your power is or indeed what your powers are."</strong><br/><br/>Pretty much knowing what each of the students can do well or at least have the early development of was something Elly ensured she know. To show this to the class, she had placed useful items for the students to use for their powers. If the student felt that they needed something else, they would have full assess to anything else in the room, if they chose to show any of their powers to the class. There was even a mattress and a trampoline for Yvette if she  wanted to elevate herself into mid air. No one was going to get hurt during her first lesson, well that was the hope.<br/><br/>While she waited for Yvette to react, she turned to Robert. Upon looking upon him she almost forgot what she wanted to tell him until she looked outside.<strong>"Oh yes, Robert, if you so choose to demonstrate your fighting skills, I have set up some practice dummies and other such useful things, such as weapons, just outside."</strong>She then pointed through the now open fire exit door to the right of her desk. With the delightful young man informed, she turned back to the class and waited patiently for Yvette to begin.<br/>
