It was still early morning, and the new school year was about to start. The beginning of the new school year is an exciting time for many, and a dreadful one for many others. For Henry Morgan Lazuli, it was very exciting, especially since he was Headmaster of Silverleaf School of Fine Magic and Practice. For Headmaster Lazuli, it was a chance to meet new faces and reconnect with familiar ones. It was a time of learning for all, even for the Headmaster, because even though he was once a student here himself, he always believed one is never too old to learn, and this also meant that he knew that each and every person was unique.

Headmaster Lazuli was in his office waiting for the go-ahead to make his way to the auditorium to make his welcome speech. While he was waiting, he was organizing the many books and scrolls that resided within his office. The numerous tomes and volumes throughout the office ranged from ancient to new, and from small to enormous. He recently acquired about a dozen or so books at a meeting and was trying to find the proper places for them. The office itself was very large and ornate, and was decorated with fine art, statuary, antique furniture, and large model ships, all of which Headmaster Lazuli had built himself.

Tabitha Shadowend August 29 0545

Tabitha's taxi arrived in front of the school. She stepped out while the driver grabbed her luggage from the trunk.
"You can set it down there; I can take it in. Thank you," Tabitha smiled at the driver. He shrugged and then set down her luggage on the sidewalk. She picked up her canvas duffel bag and pulled her luggage behind her, heading to the front gates of the school. They should have been open since students would be coming in at any moment, but they weren't. She sighed in exasperation as she released her duffel and luggage.
"Mynedfa cyfaddef," she waved her hand over the lock at the gate, and she heard the old lock open as the gate swung open for her. She smiled and picked up her belongings, then walked up the long walkway to the doors of the school.
When she walked in, her footsteps echoed in the empty foyer-there weren't many active souls so early in the morning. There rarely are. She was one of the few professors who started before noon. Lots of instructors preferred their sleep. However, Tabitha didn't. She was one of the few morning people who could be found grading assignments in the lounge with a mug of coffee in her hand.
As she navigated the halls, she made her way to the teachers' quarters-where her office and room would be. She looked up the dreadful stairs and decided that a few more spells wouldn't harm anyone. She swore not to use magic for small things, but she had been traveling overnight and never liked to sleep on planes. Too many cases of people being taken advantage of in their sleep. She set down her luggage again and set her arms at her side, her palms facing down. She softly whispered, "Codwch."
She felt the ground below her disappear and looked down to see that she and her belongings were slowly floating up. She stopped on the seventh floor, where her room assignment would be. She floated towards the landing and then set herself and the luggage down. She fished into her coat pocket for the key that was mailed in a few weeks ago while she was studying witchcraft in Haiti.
Tabitha entered her office, which was the same as it was last year. She looked at all the plants-which were dead- and sighed, "It was simple. Keep my plants alive, and I give you money. What an idiot."
She waved her hand and watched as the plants slowly went back to their previous living state. When they were back to life, she sighed and went to her luggage. She opened it up and grabbed her laptop case and some clothing. This summer she had studied not only in Haiti but spent most of her studies in Oxford, generating research for a project that her advanced students would partake in-but she would reveal that later during the week.
She grabbed a pair of black trousers, a long-sleeve white shirt with polka dots, and a grey waistcoat. She grabbed her clothing for the day and changed into them, putting her hair in a half ponytail, her curls making it look complex. She sighed, always hating her hair and grabbed her laptop sleeve and went to her desk, firing it up. She caught her schedule and found what her first class was. Anthropology of Humans. It started in a few hours, but she knew that it may be delayed due to the assembly for the new and returning students. She debated waiting in the classroom, but there was no way of telling how long the assembly would end. She decided that she would wait in the lounge near the foyer and do some work before her class started.
She left the room with her laptop case and a folder with important papers but paused when she closed the door. Last year, she had to deal with an angry student who broke into her office by accident. Nonetheless, she had some very valuable objects and herbs in there and didn't want anyone to steal anything from her. She looked at the doorknob and muttered, "Caniatáu dim ond fi."
She felt her magic guard the door and she smiled. She decided to take the stairs to head to the lounge but paused.
"I need a coffee."
And with that, she headed to the kitchen.

The sun was all too bright as Austin reluctantly began her morning in dire need of some waffles and a extra large coffee. The beds will was all too strong as she hit snooze for the umpteenth time in hopes shed wake up slightly less tired. As the morning progressed Austins wardrobe became a black pair of legging ( With pockets of course ) and whatever flannel was laying around. She repeatedly refreshed her email waiting for a class schedule.
Austin had always known she was " Different " but never could figure out how to use her " Gift" in any manner that would be helpful. She briefly studied Latin in hopes she could learn a few helpful spells or hexes.
She sighed and exited her dorm to stroll around campus like the freshman she was..

Eden Elise Beaumont

Location: Kitchen | Interacting with: Open

Eden fell asleep while writing in her grimoire again. ‘What a perfect time to fall asleep in the kitchen practicing spell work: the night before school starts back up,’ Eden thought sarcastically. She peeled her droopy head from the pages of the book. She could feel the dried, crusty drool pasted to her cheek, and her hair was so frizzy, it looked like a Griffin’s nest. Gross.

Looking down at her scribbles from the night before, Eden gathered up the used candles and burnt herbs back into her portable ritual case. It was still relatively early in the morning for her, and it was still quiet except for the faint sounds of nature coming from the window. Still, in a discombobulated haze of partial sleep, Eden heard footsteps from the hall before she looked at her reflection on the back of a spoon. Bewilderment and embarrassment spread across her face. She hurried to wipe away the stray saliva from her face and pat down her stray hair after spitting out a spell to finish cleaning up her mess on the table. “Tersus sersum”

By the time the person entered the room, Eden was still adjusting her messy appearance and items were flying through the air, flitting back to her enchanted case. She twirled around and croaked in a raspy voice when she felt the other presence approach the kitchen, “G-good morning” Her arms awkwardly crossed over her chest after pulling down to adjust her white, oversized, loose-knit sweater.

“Coffee?”

Tabitha stopped suddenly when she entered the kitchen, seeing the girl in the room, surrounded by flying objects. She looked at the girl, taking in her dyed hair and sweater. She shook her head, "I apologize for staring."
She walked into the kitchen and headed to the coffee maker, grabbing her mug from the teacher's cupboard. It was a green mug with embellishments towards the top. She prepared it as she resumed talking, "I'm surprised students are here this early. Are you in the regular curriculum or the advanced studies curriculum?"

Eden tensed when she saw her future professor. Bigger magic at this school was meant to be saved for controlled environments, such as the classroom, or somewhere isolated. Not a communal kitchen.

“U-Urm… I’m in advanced studies this year, Ms. Shadowend.” A slight french accent rolling off her tongue, Eden wanted to keep Tabitha talking so that she wouldn’t notice the unorthodox ingredients settling neatly in her vintage suitcase that could lead to magic with… dark intentions to say the least.

“I’m not usually an early bird. My familiar is probably snoozing in my room at the moment.” A chuckle passed her lips as she turned to close her suitcase. She then walked over to grab a cup of water, not realizing her spell journal was still opened to the page from last night. “If you don’t mind me asking, what are you doing wide awake so early in the morning?”

Tabitha Shadowend 0648

She sat down at the table with the student, obviously nervous and sipped her coffee, then set it down to let it cool after she scalded her tongue.
"Well, I arrived...a little over an hour ago. My flight came in this morning and I headed straight here-seeing as classes start basically today," she braved another sip of coffee, finding this next sip less scalding than her first one, "What classes are you in? I teach a few advanced classes. You might be in one of mine. What's your name?"
She shook her head and put her hand softly on her mouth, "I'm sorry, I just spent my vacation in a location where communication is quite lacking. Pardon my enthusiasm for wanting to talk to someone who can actually speak with me."
She took another sip of coffee and allowed her companion to answer.
