Sixth Years

[catcrossedpath]

You've had group projects, in which you each have had to read a piece of "classic literature" assigned by Kakashi, and now its time to present to the class. Sakura, your group is up first, presenting on 'Seducing the Warlock.'

Yes, they're that kind of literature.

Sixth Years : I hope this it's ok to put him in Sakura's group...

Link shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The so called 'literature' was interesting to a degree, but it was rather....unacceptable as an assignment.

Unfortunately, he was in the first group to present their projects. He got up with everyone else and trudged to the front of the class, wishing he could dive under the desk until this nightmare was over.

Catty sat in her usual seat, chin propped up on the heel of her hand, biting her lip to keep from giggling at Sakura and her group. Poor things. It sucked to have to go first, but at least it'd be entertaining to watch the presentation.

Actually, it was more entertaining watching the students who were uncomfortable with the type of literature Professor Hatake assigned them.

Sakura gave Kakashi a poisonous glare as she left her desk to stand up the front of the class with the rest of her group. At this point, pretty much everyone knew that being in Sakura's group was essentially the same as volunteering to go first, because without fail, Kakashi always picked on her to do the most mortifying tasks.

On the other hands, she was also in the top percentile of the class, and she took her groupmates' marks along with her. So it wasn't all bad.

Flicking her wand, she summoned the various charts her group had put together to hover where the rest of the class could see it. Her evil expression cleared the moment she stopped looking at Kakashi, although she pointedly ignored Catty. "Plot overview of Seducing the Warlock," she started. "At first glance, there is none. Actually, there was none at second or third glance either, but seeing as our esteemed Professor is so into looking 'underneath the underneath', we managed to scrounge something other than a set of loosely connected sex scenes up."

Congratulations, you all get to write practice essays to prepare for your NEWTS. You'll be analyzing passages of Icha Icha Paradise, but be warned those who think this is a joke, he will actually grade these as if they are on pieces of real literature, and will look for your ability to deeply understand the metaphors and techniques that went into the book.

The previous night left Seifer in fumes. Looking over the passages assigned to him and the rest of the seventh year class, he clamored over the same words that simply made no sense to him, especially given the academic pretense. He shed his gloves and trailed over the words with his fingers, trying to decipher something meaningful from the book in front of him. After slamming the cover shut and then reopening it hour after hour, he could only write down his first thoughts on Icha Icha Paradise and find relief in sleeping off his frustrations.

Seifer entered the classroom the next day, huffing under his breath and threw his book on the desk. "LITERATURE?!" he said, pointing a stern finger toward the strange tome.

Seras had a very similar reaction, though not quite as loud as the Slytherin's. Everything had been fine at first. Seras opened her book and began reading, quill in hand ready to start her essay once the first passage was read. However, she did not get far before her quill dropped suddenly, her mouth slid open and altogether dropped her book on the floor.

Turning bright red, Seras looked about the room. She knew the Professor had strange tastes in books but this was by far the most colorful thing she had ever read. And of course the Professor wasn't there yet. "Does... anyone else see a problem with these?" she asked out loud, nervously. It was no wonder Seifer burst out the way he did.

Seifer turned and raised a gloved hand as though the class was taking roll. "Here, here," he added with a grunt. He looked over to Seras continuing on his single-word rant. This time, he took on a dry sarcastic tone: "Literature." He dropped it back on his desk before walking over and occupying the one next to Seras in the mean time. He kicked up a pair of feet over the surface of the desk while tilting the chair back and resting his hands on the back of his head.

"I hope it's a joke, but I doubt I'll be laughing even if it is," he said as he found himself in a comfortable position.
