the morning doesn't hide reality

Huddled up in the furthest seat that he could manage at the high table, Dexter was trying to hide himself away from the sunlight that was streaming through the great hall, without much success. The windows throughout the great hall and the magical ceiling above, all made it possible for the sunlight to streak through every which way, casting the dining area in a glow of yellow and bright orange.

Hazel eyes squinting against the attack from the sunlight rays, the Professor wished he remembered to bring his sunglasses with him. His glasses weren’t a name brand, but just glasses that had a wide brim and did the trick for protecting his eyes from the harsh sunlight. More than that, they protected him from the stares that people were giving him. Or well, protected him from seeing those stares that people were giving him.

Of course people probably weren’t staring at him, but Dexter was pretty sure they were. Hunching his shoulders up, Dexter reached for a cup of coffee, and sighed into the cup as he bought the cup to his lips. People staring at him were just another thing that he would have to get used to- as well as mornings. The Professor had never been a morning person, preferring the stillness and quite of the night to the loudness and the harsh rays of sunlight that the daytime bought.

The list of things that Dexter would have to get used to though, was growing at a rapid pace, something Dexter didn't really like. Soon, he would have to teach his first lesson- in front of a lot of kids. The Professor wasn’t sure how the first lesson was going to go either- or what he was going to teach them. Dexter hadn’t yet made up a lesson plan for his class, or for the year ahead.

Though coffee had been his main reason for coming down to the great hall, his second reason was to sort out his lesson plan. In front of him on the table, sat a blank piece of parchment ready to be filled- only problem was, nothing was coming to him; his mind was a total blank. Dexter sighed and hunched over the table some more, setting his cup down, as he pulled the coffee pot towards him, and poured himself another cup.

The Professor just hoped the effects from drinking too much coffee would start his brain in thinking mode. If nothing came to him soon, he’d just have to play his first lesson by ear.

Alice had woken in the happiest moods. She loved morning were the sun was shining and the birds were singing. She was morning person and a night person. She got ready for the day and went to wake up her nephew who was staying with her. She need to take him to the daycare and then she had to get to the school and grab something to eat.

She walk into the great hall and said hi to couple of her students. Her first was yesterday and she felt it went well. She already had her lesson plan fell out for every class though her class was layback class. She mostly let her kids duel each other and gives advice to the students in charms. She loved being a teacher and teaching students. She remembered a time she never wanted to be a teacher but instead she wanted to be fashion model. That change when she taught her first class 4 years ago.

She sat down in a empty seat and drink her hot tea, slowly. She look over to see the new teacher she been hearing about. “hello.” She said with a smile. “I’m Alice Puddifoot. I’m the charms teacher here.” She said setting down her cup. She look at the guy empty paper. “Nice lesson plan but I think your students will learn something if you had a idea of what you’re going to teach them.” She joked.

Nodding his mop of dark hair in agreement to the woman, Dexter lowered his head into his cup, and gazed into it, hoping somehow the drink would give him answers to his lesson plan. The coffee just stayed a sullen brown color though, not offering him any clues on what to put in his lessons plans, or which subjects should be put into his lesson plans. The kids needed the facts about Divination- that although it can be useful to know about star signs, and special herbs, and the right way to scry- it can be a deadly tool, too.

Deadly in the way that the information on the paper could turn out to be wrong- smashing any kind of hopes a person had. Dexter had learned that lesson the hard way- all the signs pointing to a career in the ministry were there in his younger life, but signs weren’t useful if one didn’t follow through. That’s why he had to do this darn lesson thing properly. It had to be in order of importance.

If only the coffee would kick his brain into action.

If only he could think up some words to say to the woman sitting next to him before things went into that awkward silence stage. Placing his coffee cup down, Dexter sneaked a quick glance at the woman, wondering how she could look and be so cheerful this time of morning. Maybe she knew a better way to wake up in the morning rather than drinking coffee?

“Eh, maybe they’ll be happy if I give them a free period.”

Dexter replied, half joking, but half feeling tempted by the idea. Honestly, if his brain didn’t kick in soon, his students might just end up with a free period. Realizing that he probably was staring at the woman for too long than it was necessary, Dexter lowered his head back down to his coffee cup, right at the same time a ray of sunlight hit him in the face.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Dexter closed his eyes to stop them from watering, mentally thinking he would really like to tear up that list of things to get used too. He didn’t want to get used to the sunlight, he wanted his nights back again- that way, he could go back to wallowing to his heart’s content.

“That will make them happy.” Alice smiled. She didn’t really notice his staring since she was looking all around her. She could hear the happy chatter of the students. “I remember when I was sitting they and talking about boys and who was hotter 7th year in the school.” She said smiling at the memories. She was the most popular girl in Hogwarts when she went there. She was also dating the hottest guy in Hogwarts and they were the star couple. Oh how she missed her old life but her new life was getting better. She had the best nephew ever and in a few months she was going to give birth to her first child. Life couldn’t get better.

“or you could ask them what they want to learn out of your class.” She said nudging him. She had always treated strangers like she knew them forever. She was a friendly person by nature and liked to make people feel welcome.

“I never got you name?” She ask him with a smile.
