Today is Sunday. April 6th, 2014. Term starts tomorrow. The students have returned to the academy to buy things, catch up with old friends, and have fun. Leonardo took a look around at all the students and smiled. He inhaled a big breath for his speech and began speaking.

"Hello students." he said. "I am happy to see many of you return for more adventurous fun. Last year and the previous ones, I was a little leniant with the rules. Now, I may not be so leniant. To begin, I would like to introduce a few people to you." he said.

OOC NOTE: Please know that you don't actually take classes and etc.. But any student can teach how to roleplay dueling or etc..

"Professor Marcus Prendergast, of our new class; Charms."
"Orbis Terrarum Alumni: Professor Samantha Hollows, Transfiguration."
"Incaendefacio Alumni: Professor Austin Goldenfire, Care Of Magical Creatures."
"Professor Trent Calagard, Astronomy."
"Liquidum Alumni: Professor Matthew Preston, History Of Magic."

"We will only be running those 5 classes until we can find more teachers for them. Now for the rules. All students must be in their dormitories by nine o'clock in the afternoon, no acceptions whatsoever unless stated by myself. First years, I will begin sorting, just stand outside and walk in one at a time after breakfast. Everyone, enjoy the feast!" he said.

Leonardo stepped down from the podium and headed back to his seat as her began to hear the chatter of the students.

Lili was sitting at the Habitus table eating, well, cake of course.

"New year! Yes! Something awesome is bound to happen!" She exclaimed feeling optimistic and excited.

Eve listened as the Professor made his speech.As soon as he was finished,she clapped along with the others,then turned towards her table.She sat there emotionless,looking at the table.She didn't eat or talk to anyone.She just wasn't prepared for what was coming.Because something is coming.Eve didn't know how she knew that exactly,but her alarms were ringing.Being a Dragon,was mostly helpful,but she didn't know that she could feel things too.She remained silent,while the other students were chatting.She only glanced once,towards the headmaster,then nothing.Her Thrird Year was going to be different.

"A new year!" Avalon exclaimed, and took a good sip at her goblet of pumpkin juice. "Are you excited, Lili?" she asked her Habitus friend.

((I'm back from a busy week XD))

"Of course I am!" Lili grinned, replying to Avalon.

//ooc: Haha welcome back! X3//

Merri sat thinking about the new additions to the academy and then further pondered the words that their headmaster spoke. Since her arrival she hadn't experienced anything that would deem the need for stricter rules, but from the chatter of those around she supposed the she must have missed out on something big. Her curious nature begged for answers but that would be rude. So she instead focused her attention on the food before her.

Everyone was busy with chatting and catching up. Rinoa was sitting in the Habitus table quietly. "Another term" she said to herself. "New beginnings" she added.

"Wooooooow. Time flies by so fast when you're enjoying yourself huh?" Shuyin said with the other Orbis dormate seating next to him in the Orbis table. He laid back on his chair and grabbed some drink. His eyes wandered off the Great Hall. "Yep, a new chapter" he said to his self.

Misha's pouting on her sit in the Habitus table together with the other cheerful students chatting, eating, laughing and all. She released a deep sigh. "Misha's vacation is sooooooooooo short" Misha said as she placed her arms on the table and dumped her face on them. "Missing them already" she thought.

"No more late night exploring" Sora reminded his self after hearing the curfew hours from the Headmaster. He suddenly remembered the dungeon expedition he did with Nico and the others. He placed his hand under his chin and raised an eyebrow as he continued watching everyone catching up with each other. "They look happy seeing one another" he thought as he watched the cheerful female students chatting and hugging. "New year. New things to learn. I hope" Sora mumbled.
