The following day, first day of classes

 

Headmaster Greyhoof woke and threw on his cloak and his old trusty hat. I must find Shadow, he needs to make sure that things are ready for the celebration for Professor Lovegood. He muttered about his old bones and how they ached him so. After a good stretch and a few pops and cracks he made his way from his tower room. He knew Shadow would be out in the yard by this time, warming his scales and spreading his wings. He did rather enjoy Shadow's company and appreciated his hard work. He never complained and was always where you would think he would be. 

 

He made his way to the court yard and just as every morning he was there. "Shadow, I have come to ask if you have had time to get things ready for the surprise celebration for Professor Lovegood. I know you had started it the other day, but I was hoping that you had finished it. I want to make sure that everything is spot on for after the last bell rings." Greyhoof shifted his weight a bit and cleared his throat. 

 

"Please make sure that Lovegood doesn't leave after his class, he doesn't have a final class today so he might try and leave early. I would hate to see him go before we could send him off properly. Oh, and if you could, take interest in Professor Crystal, he seems to be a fascinating pony, he might even be able to help you." He gave a small bow to Shadow and turned back to the school. 

 

The bell rings for classes to begin.

 

Professor Stardust was at the head of her class with a large smile on her face. 

 

"Class, please listen, we have students from each house in here, and I know how competitive that some can be..*she eyed the few Alicorn house students and gave them a wink*.. but in here, we will work together. We will accomplish great things, and we might even figure out what some of those fun cutie marks might mean." 

 

She fluttered around the classroom as she spoke getting a good look at everypony. "We will have class normally during the day, but there will be some days where we don't have class until evening. This is after all an astronomy and astrology class. We must see Real stars at some point right? Can't just learn from maps and charts." She flew to the front of the room once again.

 

"But for now, please open your books to chapter one and we will begin with our solar system."

 

Professor Lovegood's office

 

"Professor Crystal, this is the plans for today's classes, it is going to be a rather easy day, to help you and the students to get to know one another. Don't get too nervous, the first class is all first years, they are more scared than you are. They want to make a good first impression and I am sure you are up for it." He took his desk chair and placed it out with the rest of the students desks. 

 

"I will observe from here, the class is yours."

[reader8363 1,281]

After listening to the headmaster, He muttered to himself, as he got up and got back to work,

"Help with what?"

He was a two-thirds way done yesterday, He looked around quickly, to make sure no one was around then he breathed a thick column of fog and  walked into it. he quickly finished it up in, and walked to Lovegood's class. He stood in the shadow.

Flearia started her day early at the great hall to get herself and Irra some breakfast while she tryed to studdy the map over the school grounds. Having gotten herself lost last night had made her no good. Her first lesson was astronomy. Strange she tought to herself. Astronomy in the morning? Oh well... She hurryed up with her breakfast and made it towards where she had pinned out on the map where the astronomy class would be.

 

After getting herself lost times and times again on the school ground she had finaly made it to the class! Right on time to! Not even a moment after she had entered the bell ringd and let the students know that class had begun! "Phew! Glad we made it on time Irra!" she said telepaticaly to her friend who satt down on her head behind her horn.

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

When summer was introduced to her new room mate she was overwhelmed by the exitement of the other pony, but when she was asked what her name was she maneged to mumble verry softly her name. She was taken to her room and looked around, it was okay.

The next day the classes had to begin but summer had no idea where to go, she heard the bell ring but she was completely lost. Almost in tears she ran around the school hoping to find the classroom, but she was lost. A tear rolled down her cheek, she wanted to make a good impression but she was to late on her verry first day. Not knowing what to do she just sat down hoping anypony would come to help her.

[Plume 922]

Jazz woke up early. Huh. Weird. Then again, Remix was always the one who struggled to wake up. Stretching, the gray pegasus mare absentmindedly shuffled her wings as she climbed out of bed, running a hoof through her tangled mane. Deary me, time to get some prep done I guess. Yawning, she quickly completed her daily routine, brushing her teeth, her mane, and her coat quickly. She picked up a couple of miscellaneous books they had been told to bring, and glanced down at the map she held. Honestly, I don't even know what classes I have today, so better take everything. Better safe than sorry. She slipped her books into her saddlebag, and began to make her way into the halls. Hope Remix woke up - if I knew where her dorm was, I'd give her a wakeup call, but... Considering how long it'll take me to find the class, I'm going to need every second I can get. 

 

Remix was quite predictably still asleep, snoring away without a single care in the world. 

 

Hm... If I can get back to the grand hall, I can probably work out my path from there. If I'm not wrong, it's... Down here? Thus began Jazz's arduous and long quest to find her class.

[Stardust* 3,302]

After listening to the headmaster, He muttered to himself, as he got up and got back to work, "With what?"

 

The headmaster looked back at the question, "why, with your interest in biology, you are still interested right? I figured that he might be able to help you learn a bit on the subject after his classes." The headmaster turned and headed back to the school house. 

 

 

 

Not knowing what to do she just sat down hoping anypony would come to help her.

 

 

Headmaster Greyhoof opened the front doors and stepped inside, he started down the hall and he could hear a pony softly crying. He gave a small smile and followed the sound. "A bit lost on your first day my dear? Come with me, I will show you the way, you should have astrology this morning. You were close, just around the corner here." Greyhoof took the mare and scooted her inside the classroom as he nodded towards Professor Stardust. "Have a good first day, and on the back of your class schedule is a map of the school, should help you out for your next class."

 

 

 

Remix was quite predictably still asleep, snoring away without a single care in the world. 

 

Bubbles had walked into Remix's room, only to find her still fast asleep. "REMIX!!!! wake up!!! you are going to be late! We can't be late on our first days of class, come on, please keep up, you don't have time to fix your mane, keep moving you silly filly!.....What are you doing?! You can't forget your book bag!!! Okay, now let's go! OH GOSH! Come on REMIX! I will show you the way to your first class, but after that it is up to you. There is a map on the back of your schedule where all your classes are marked. OH!!! The first bell has rug!! We only have a few more minutes, come on!! Put a giddy up in your pick up! MOVE IT!"

 

 

 

Thus began Jazz's arduous and long quest to find her class.

 

Silver Wing walked out of the house and almost ran into Jazz. "Oh, please excuse me." He gave her a shy smile. "Do you need some help finding your way?" He almost blushed at the pretty mare. "If you get lost, there is a map on the back of your schedule to help you find your classes, they are marked. I'll see you around...hopefully...have a good day." He smiled a bit bigger and he trotted off to his class.

The second years had a bit of a different schedule, they started outside with one of the newer professors studying mystical creatures and exotic plant life. The professor was pushing a cart full of books to the area where the class was meeting, the students couldn't see who it was, but they could hear her voice.

 

"Please don't be shy, make a big circle and have a seat, I will be passing out the books for this class. They are a bit wild so they didn't give them to you when you arrived." She continued to push the cart as the students took their seats.

 

She stepped out from the large wriggling stack of books. The students gasped at the sight of her. They had never seen a creature such as her and it was so fascinating. She gave the usual smile that she always did when ponies met her for the first time. 

 

"What better to have a mystical creature teach a class about mystical creatures right?" She chuckled and started to explain who she was and where she was from. 

 

"My name is Autumn, and yes, I am a reindeer. My home is just north of Yakyakistan. I come from a small family, just me and my brother. My parents work for a toy shop up there, many of the toys that are sold in the shops around Equestria are made there. My brother runs a sleigh riding company for mainly the young Yaks. Ponies don't even realize we are there so not many come to visit, most show up lost and my brother has to take them back to the Crystal Empire. My parents wanted me to go work with them but I knew I was going to be doing something better. I studied very hard in school and traveled a long way every day after secondary school to attend a university a couple towns away. I was determined to be a teacher, it was by luck that Headmaster Greyhoof dropped by my university and gave me an interview. He knew I was graduating and he offered me this job. I was so excited!" She walked around a little bit so the students could look her over. "So, that is how I wound up here." She smiled and walked back to the cart. 

 

She started handing out the books, "Take one and pass it to your left, once everyone has one we will begin." She handed the first book to a mare and asked her name. "Nice to meet you Vinyl, glad to have you in my class."

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

When summer was taken to her classroom by the headmaster she felt verry stupid, she was so close, if she had been a little less scared and had acted like a real mare she would have found it herself. When she entered she felt like everypony was looking at her. She sat down at an empty table at the back of the class and grabbed her books from her saddlebag. She was happy this was astrologie, something she is good at. The lesson continued and summer looked around, if she could find her room mate, so that there would be at least one pony she could talk to. But she was not there. Suddenly she realised that she didn't even know her roommates name and she felt a bit rude that she didn't even asked it, or introduced herself. She started lissening to professor stardust again and it was so interesting she started to draw the things he was telling. Untill she heard professor stardusts voice telling her to pay atention instead of drawing. Summer whispered an excuse and tried to pay as much atention as possible, but she did not really hear what he was telling.

Vinyl woke up a bit later than the first years, since her class started after theirs. She really wanted to style her mane that morning, but her first class was outside and there would be no point, so instead she ran her hooves through it and let it be. "Guess I won't be impressing anyone today," she said to herself as she put on her robes, gathered her books, and went outside. After meeting up with the rest of the students in her small class, she noticed the teacher coming out with the books

@Stardust*,

 

Remix sat up with a sudden jolt, her eyes groggy as she tried to blink the sleep out of her mind. “Whua yes I’M awaaaake!” she drawled out, swaying back and forth a bit before flopping back onto her pillow, face first, with a groan. “Ughhh I’m moving I’m moving.” She whined, flinging her covers off with one hoof and rolling onto the floor with a thud. She sat up, rubbing her eyes like a child, before standing and walking somewhat unsteadily to the dresser. She had just picked up the hairbrush and had one brush when Bubbles literally swept her off her feet, throwing her her book bag and pushing her towards the door. She had about 2 seconds to grab her beloved earphones before she was carted down the hallway, still trying to process everything. “Alright, Bubbles. Thanks for showing me!” she said, brightening up a bit. “A map? Oh, yea, I remember that! Sure sure, I got it.” Remix grinned, a spring working its way into her step as she began to speed up.

Jazz was pretty immersed in studying her map, and almost dropped it in surprise when Silver spoke. Feathers fluffing in surprise, she cleared her throat, gathering her scattered thoughts. She was so startled that her usual cold façade slipped before she realised. “Oh, uh… Sorry, I didn't see you. And I think I’m good,” she paused, lifting her map, “but if I come calling later, you’ll know why.” She joked, smirking as her usual sass slipped into her tone. “See ya, Silver.” The mare called after him, mildly surprised she remembered his name. Alright. Let’s see here. So if I take this turn, and follow along here… I should be about right. Before long, Jazz had managed to find the lecture, without too many turns and mistakes. Booya. Hope Remix is doing okay. Softly, she put a hoof on the door, and swallowed thickly. Come on, you just have to push it open. One push! Easy… Actually I’ll just wait for somepony else. Preferably Remix. Please Remix.

[Stardust* 3,302]

 

 

She sat down at an empty table at the back of the class and grabbed her books from her saddlebag.

 

"Pst, hey, new mare, hey." Another mare was waving to Summer, she was motioning for her to come and sit next to her. "Hey, I think I saw you in the house, I'm a first year too and I am so excited. Let me see your map real quick. *rustling of paper* Look at that! We have the next four classes together, we should go together, and we can sit together at lunch." She gave Summer a big smile. "Silly me, my name is Twinkle."

 

 

 

"Phew! Glad we made it on time Irra!" she said telepaticaly to her friend who satt down on her head behind her horn.

 

 "Flearia, look, this is Summer, she has the same classes as we do, this is going to be so great! Oh gosh, we should pay attention hehe."

 

 

 

Vinyl smiled up at her and replied, "Glad to be here, ma'am." She had actually already seen reindeer before, so unlike the rest of the class, she wasn't staring

 

"If you could all please open your books and turn to chapter one, but before you release the strap make sure that you rub the spine of the book to calm it down. You don't want it snapping at you while we are trying to study. We are going to be learning about Changlings today." She started to walk around the circle and talk about the chapter. Calling on the students to read portions of the book and making it a fun game. She was not going to start off the year with a dull and boring class.

 

 

 

Come on, you just have to push it open. One push! Easy… Actually I’ll just wait for somepony else. Preferably Remix. Please Remix.

 

"Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry." A pony bumped into Jazz as she was trying to get into the door. "Are you ready for class? I'm a bit nervous. Are you? Oh goodness, I just wish that everything is okay, I am here on a scholarship and part of the Alicorn house...and I am babbling... ugh! Sorry." She took a deep breath and patted her saddle bag. "Well... now or never." She walked into the door and held it open, "You coming?" She gave a smile to Jazz.

summer gave twinkle a shy smile 'my name is summer breeze, nice to meet you twinkle' said summer quiet 'how are you?' but without waiting on the awnser summer continued her drawing. a while later summer aked twinkle 'did you understand it? i i was so focused on my drawings that i wasn't lissening' then summer showed twinkle the drawing she made of her 'do you like it?' and gave twinkle a little less shy smile.

Flearia got suppriced by having Twinkle started to talk to her as she where focused on the class!  She glanced down at her own map and scedule to se and if it was true! They all had the same next classes for the day! "That's great! .We can get there together so none of us get lost... Ay it was close here but I still got myself lost several times trying to get to this class" She said quietly as she tryed to regain her focus on the class just to realize something... "Ooooh... I'm sorry... I'm Flearia Dragondanser and this mischivious Fire Spirit on my head is Irra." Flearia said blushing a bit as she continued to focus on the class and quietly read her book as one could se her quill infron of here where slightly levitating above her bench.

"That's ok Summer. I  got you both covered." Flearia said while levitated a paper to Summer and Twinkle where she had scribled down some of the most important stuffs that had been mentioned in the class. She also looked over Twinkle's shoulder to se what Summer had done.

then summer turned back so she could see the professor again and whispered to twinkle: 'where's your room? i haven't seen you before' and then summer started doodeling something else.

The bell rings

 

Students begin to leave their first classes and move about the campus looking for their next class. Many of the first years were running back and forth having some sort of trouble using their maps on their class schedule. They finally figure out where the magic classroom is and they file in trying to get to their seats. 

 

The door read Professor Mirror - Magic

 

The second years make their way to the astrology classroom without much of a fuss. 

 

Professor Stardust welcomes her students. "Welcome back students! I am very excited to be here with you! Now, let's get started, this year we will be studying the constellations and their history. Please open your books and we will begin." 

[Script Dangles 231]

 

While the young ponies filed into the classroom, the dark-coated stallion was turned to the chalkboard at the front of the room. His horn glowed with an odd tenebrous shimmering, something like the way that heat looked as it rose from a summer roadway. The strange half-light caused a bit of white chalk to gain a life of its own. It swooped upwards from the tray that held it and began to trace slow, careful letters on the empty expanse at the front of the room.

 

Mr. Smoking Mirror, it read in an elegant, almost calligraphic, script.

 

The stallion turned and faced the class even before it had completed the last letter. Behind him, it dutifully returned to the tray that had previously held it. The twilight shimmering disappeared, his horn, quiescent.

 

He offered the class a thin smile. “Good morning,” he said, nodding gently.

 

His gaze swept across the sea of faces before him. He studied each one, surveying their breadth with care. Discreetly, he whispered the spell to himself that would reveal the potential in each one.

 

“Welcome to Magic.”

Midnight creeps into her class and puts her cloak and top hat on the coat hook. Midnight then does a quick look around the classroom making sure to gather in all the information that her batpony eyes are able to harvest and then proceeds to quickly stretch her wings and sits down on a chair in the back of the classroom as well as taking out all necessary equipment for the class.

Midnight takes a brief look through the specifications of the class and frowns about why they would put her in magic class, it wasn't that Midnight cared it was just another class she could get through like Tic Tacs.

She begun to bring out some paper and her quill and started to note it down and everything else Professor Mirror was to try teach them.

 

 

The professor's eyes fixed for a moment upon the pretty white unicorn that sat in the front row of the classroom's seats.  From where he stood, her cutie mark -- a chess piece, surrounded by purple stars -- was visible.  He was certain that she'd noticed the subtle divination he'd cast upon the students.  What she couldn't know, though, is the brilliant manner in which she momentarily glistened and shimmered in response to the spell.  The young mare was possessed of immense magical potential.  It made him want to smile, but he was able to hide his delight at the notion behind a calm and disaffected mask.  After all, if there was one thing he was good at, it was hiding appearances away.

 

Professor Mirror began to trot back and forth slowly in front of his desk and the blackboard.  "Each one of you are here because of your interest in arcana," he began.  "And I'm sure that each one of you, in some form or fashion, knows a great deal about the subject.  Or," he paused to glance across the faces of the sudents, "you think you do."

 

His eyes fell upon the magenta gaze of the young white unicorn again.  Gone, just as quickly.  "Undoubtedly, you've read extensively about magic.  You've pored over hundreds of dusty old tomes, committed endless rotes and formulae to memory," he nodded.  "You can probably relate the minutiae of Starswirl the Bearded's life story for hours on end."  Someone in the back row chuckled gently.  The professor paid it no mind.

 

He stopped in front of his desk.  Looked out at the class again.  "None of that matters, now."

 

"In my class," he told them.  "You will learn that true magic is not a thing to be wielded as simply as a pen or a sword.  You will learn that even a mage as mighty as Starswirl was not a master of magic.  True magic is not a thing that can be mastered.  True magic is all around you, permeating the air that you breathe, inundating the very cells that comprise your physical form.  It interacts with your your very spirit in a intricate and delicate ballet at every moment of your existence.  True magic is in everything around you at all times -- apparent as the wind and the clouds to the wise and invisible to the ignorant."

 

The professor's gaze was darksome, intense.  Something like a thunderstorm, in its quality.

 

"It's those famous magi that recognized this fact and were able to walk alongside the forces of magic as a partner, as a confidante and a lover," he said.  "Their great epiphany was that magic can never truly be controlled or wielded.  Magic is too immense for such a foolhardy notion.  Would you control the raging ocean or wield the elemental might of the seasons themselves?  Hardly.  Magic is something that can only be guided by a mare or stallion."

 

"And so you learn your first lession, students," the professor said.  "These mages of legend befriended the forces of the invisible world.  They learned to commune with it, tap into the way that it ebbed and flowed within themselves as the tide washes in and out from the shoreline.  They learned to whisper to it and learned to listen when it whispered back.  They learned to guide it as a friend asks a favor of another -- and such was their relationship with magic that it did as they bade."

 

The professor fell silent.  He surveyed the expressions of his students for a moment, paying especial attention to that of the white coated unicorn at the front of his class.

 

"In my class," he finished, "I will introduce you to true magic for the first time in your young lives."

 

"When you leave, if you listen well...perhaps you might call it your friend."

"In my class," he told them.  "You will learn that true magic is not a thing to be wielded as simply as a pen or a sword.  You will learn that even a mage as mighty as Starswirl was not a master of magic.  True magic is not a thing that can be mastered.  True magic is all around you, permeating the air that you breathe, inundating the very cells that comprise your physical form.  It interacts with your your very spirit in a intricate and delicate ballet at every moment of your existence.  True magic is in everything around you at all times -- apparent as the wind and the clouds to the wise and invisible to the ignorant." The professor's gaze was darksome, intense.  Something like a thunderstorm, in its quality.

 

Flearia's quill sweept over her paper like a whirlwind trying to get everything down. Not that she didn't know this but just in chase she needed to repeat it. She also added some of her own notes to it.

 

As she finished her writing it down she could hear Summer whispering to herself.

 

 

'i don't have magic, the only thing i can do is flap my wings and thats all'

 

Before she could mention anything about it she heard a pegasi beside her say

 

 

'Sorry to interrupt you but I couldn't help notice you were about as confused as I was when the old windbag told us we will be doing magic. I mean did he expect for us to magically grow horns or something? I am thinking that the school may tend towards the unicorns and just try to ignore us pegasi... Oh right sorry My name is Midnight Madness, it's nice to meet you.'

 

Aparently this bat pony named Midnight didn't know eather... She started to whisper to them "He isn't talking about unicorn magic. He is talking about that magic is in everything. About the harmony of the world. Also everypony got magic in them. Earth pony. Pegasi. Unicorns have the most showing one but still." She said while looking to Summer. "Like how Princess Cadence wasn't born a Alicorn. Nor Unicorn. She where born a Pegasi. A horn isn't what makes the magic." Flearia continued to write down what Professor Mirror said. "Did you think the school would make a class about unicorn specific magic and then add all different kinds of ponys in it?"

 

 

"It's those famous magi that recognized this fact and were able to walk alongside the forces of magic as a partner, as a confidante and a lover," he said.  "Their great epiphany was that magic can never truly be controlled or wielded.  Magic is too immense for such a foolhardy notion.  Would you control the raging ocean or wield the elemental might of the seasons themselves?  Hardly.  Magic is something that can only be guided by a mare or stallion." "And so you learn your first lession, students," the professor said.  "These mages of legend befriended the forces of the invisible world.  They learned to commune with it, tap into the way that it ebbed and flowed within themselves as the tide washes in and out from the shoreline.  They learned to whisper to it and learned to listen when it whispered back.  They learned to guide it as a friend asks a favor of another -- and such was their relationship with magic that it did as they bade."   The professor fell silent.  He surveyed the expressions of his students for a moment, paying especial attention to that of the white coated unicorn at the front of his class.

 

Flearia keept writing down on her papers about the elements of magic and also added her own lines again to the two categories she already where familiar with and understood. 

 

Like how Fire would reflecting the personality traits like michiviousness, energetic, proud and playfull.  She looked to Irra with a smile and continued.

How Ice have a personality that reflect stuborness and balance.

She also added a note on nature magic. Do NOT feed to much power or energy. Devastating resoults!

 

That knowing thease makes the flow of the elements show their true self and let themself be communicated with more easily.

@,

Midnight replied 'I have heard about the magic before but I had assumed that there was no point learning about it because pegasi can't manipulate it in anyway I mean I can do certain things because of my batpony heritage, like make my singular fang larger and also allows me to shadow fly fairly well but I had just assumed that our magic was strictly based on flying.

"As Professor Mirror just said. You can't controll magic. you lead it. And being knowlendged in your surrounding and how they work with one another can help save your life! Also help you in every days tasks as you venture trough life itself." Flearia contered

@, Midnight replies 'While knowing about could be considered useful what is the point of having it taught to us if we can not manipulate any form of magic... form of magic?.. I wonder... If ...' and with that Midnight goes to the back of the classroom and starts writing notes.

 

Midnight wonders to her self when writing her notes  'Is it possible that the unicorns are not the only type of pony with a horn which emits magic. I mean a unicorn forms their build up harmonious magic and then change it using their horns into a spell... What is a Pegasus or an earth pony is doing the same? We manipulate our harmonic magic into our wings so that we can fly and earth ponies simply go for a carpet effect and use their bodies to send out magic into the earth. Well this is easily proven and probably has been but I think that with time and effort we can form spells on our own. A pegasus could manipulate their wings toallow for easier gliding, hovering and shields as a pegasus wing can protect the vital organs.' Midnight decides to write this down into her personal planner.
