fandomhigh | History Of Witchcraft [Week 1 : Thursday, Period 4, Main Campfire]

Phoebe was standing in front of a chair in front of other chairs that were pulled up around the campfire.

"Hey guys, welcome to History of Witchcraft," she said in a cheerful voice. "I'm Phoebe Halliwell and I'll be your so-called instructor for the next seven weeks. Calling me Phoebe is fine, please do not call me Miss Halliwell." She grinned and looked over at Tori. "Tori Hanson is your TA. Us being cheerful is to be expected as we are both graduates and Gremlin Cheerleaders!" She beamed. "Over the next few weeks we're going to cover some of the definitions of witchcraft, some of the most historical events pertaining to Witchcraft and anything else that we might decide is pertinent to the course."

She sat down and looked at the students.

"Okay, since this is the first workshop, it's going to be a pretty easy day. I want you to tell me who you are, what you hope to get out of this workshop, and what you think the definition of witchcraft is. Also, if there is anything in specific you would like me to teach or touch on in the workshop." She tilted her head. "And yes, before you ask, I do have sufficient knowledge and reason for teaching this workshop. I am a witch and have had to pick up quite a bit of knowledge and scars the hard way." Her eyes clouded for a moment, but then cleared up again. "I'm hoping that I can help you guys get some of this knowledge in a little bit easier of circumstances."

"I'm Chris Halliwell and I'm half witch, half white lighter," Chris said, reciting what Phoebe already knew for the benefit of the rest of the class. "My powers include telekinesis and orbing - which is a kind of teleportation. I can also write ~~badly rhymed~~ spells and make potions."

"What are you hoping to get out of this workshop?" ~~Besides you and my other nephew being called on a lot?~~

"An easy 'A'?" Chris joked. "Seriously, though, the whole magic thing is new to me and I'd like to know as much about the history as I can learn."

Phoebe grinned at him. "Nice plan."

"Wyatt Halliwell," Wyatt said. He pointed to Chris. "What he said, pretty much."

Phoebe was a very good Aunt and didn't comment that she and her nephews seemed to share the knack for casting spells and having them kind of cause a bit of a backfire.

"I'm Lana Lang and I really don't have any abilities myself, but I'm very interested in witchcraft and magic," lana said.

"Is there something specific you want to learn?" Phoebe was smiling.

Lana smiled and shook her head. "I don't think I really know enough to pick something. I'm just interested in whatever you'd like to teach."

"You realize that is allowing me to have full reign on what I may bring up," she teased.

Lana grinned back. "I guess I'll just have to trust you."

"I'm Summer Roberts and, um, I'm not a witch or anything, but I know some people who are," Summer said. "So I figured it might be good to learn more about witchcraft."

"I'm called Andros," Andros said, "I'm from the planet KO-35 and I have telekinesis. There are magic users where I come from but I'm not very familiar with Earth's history of witchcraft,"

Anders felt a little silly doing this, but it was for the benefit of the rest of the class.

"I'm Samuel Anders, but just Anders to the rest of you guys," he said. "I'm seventeen, about to be a senior, and from the planet Caprica. No special powers and no magic abilities; I'm just a jock with pretty good aim."

He glanced around the classroom and turned a little bit red as he added, "And since I'm, you know, dating a witch, I'd kinda like to learn a little bit more about what she does."

Prue freaked out momentarily because Anders looked so much Alec but when she turned to see Wyatt and Chris looking reasonably calm she resisted the urge to TK him into oblivion.

But then he opened his mouth and the urge to throw him through a wall came back even stronger...

"I'm Prue Halliwell and I'm a witch. My powers are telekinesis and astral projection. I can also write spells and make potions." she said. She then smiled and gave Phoebe a cute little wave. "Hey Pheebs!"

Phoebe stared and then her jaw dropped. "Prue?!"

She blinked. Her sister was... here?

"Um, surprise?"

"Prue... what are you doing here? How come you didn't call me and tell me you were visiting?"

She moved over to her sister to hug her.

Yeah, it hasn't occurred to her that her sister may not be exactly who she thought she was.

Prue hugged Phoebe back. She might have lingered there for a second because honestly, Prue never thought she'd see Phoebe again.

"I'm not visiting, actually. I'm a student." said Prue after she pulled away from Phoebe. "A seventeen year old student, to be exact."

Phoebe blinked and then blinked again.

"Uhmm... huh?"

So elequent there.

[[OOC: Am so yoinking that icon]]

Prue nodded. And while nodding she tried to think up of a lie she could tell Phoebe. "Yeah. Grams sent me here after our powers emerged."

"Wyatt and Chris told me you were here. After they explained who they were." Prue felt a knot form in her stomach. She hated lying to her sister.

Anders heard the name, and his head snapped in Prue's direction.

Hey, he'd been out of the country when the new kids showed up, and then he was pretty much too preoccupied to socialize outside of workshops -- which he was going to have to fix, but still. He'd had no idea.

He really hoped there wasn't a TK trip through a wall in his immediate future.

"I'm Adam Park," He smiled shyly and waves slightly. "I'm sixteen, going to be a junior and I don't have any magic powers or special abilities." Adam admitted. "But I'd like to learn more about witches and witchcraft, other than what I've learned at my old highschool."
