Suddenly, and without any warning, a frog jumps into the circle of students ribbiting loudly. At his first croak, the teacher jumps up from his spot on the ground, wand at the ready and hair flying wildly.

His name is Gorf. He has been watching you, and apparently, you've all made him very happy." Gorf croaks again, and jumps up onto Natalie's lap. ()

"Congratulations uh... whatever your name is. You've earned an extra ten points for your house. In fact, everyone who's passed their first class by staying here despite my-- unorthodox-- teaching methods, has won ten points for their house, but Miss uh-- you there-" he points to Natalie "have earned twenty. Good work."

Professor Nico has a glint in his eye that you weren't sure was there at first. "I really pride myself on students who follow directions, despite how strange they may think they are. This school is full of magic, what doesn't make sense at first could have a perfectly reasonable explanation in a way you don't understand." He laughed, and sat back down on the ground, this time in a crosslegged position. "So, now that you've all passed my test, I invite you to ask me questions for fun. Number related ones will get answered, and so will not number related ones. Curiosity is one thing that none of you should ever be without."

He asked, a hint of sadness entering his voice. "My dear, I'm so sorry to hear that." He patted his leg, and Gorf hopped back toward him. "Yes, Gorf will be around all classes. I'm sorry you're afraid of frogs, they're really quite gentle creatures. If you like, I will keep him away from you, though I think it will hurt his feelings." He looked toward Gorf, and Gorf put on his most pathetic depressed expression, even though it was apparent he was being overdramatic.

"Stop stop. Okay, so I get that you all like this class and stuff, but we will get to all those questions eventually. This is only the first lesson, after all." He brought a hand up and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Since your classmates have already done such an exceptional job, just go ahead and figure out your character numbers. We will go over what they mean next class session."

((ooc: no I got it, it's just that Nico is lazy.))
