Hero Management- Monday- Period 3- Class #1

It was Hermione's first day teaching.

It was a little intimidating.

Still, she was trying not to look intimidated, especially when this was a subject where she definitely knew what she was talking about. All she had to do was remind herself that she was in charge, and act authoritative. That part at least wasn't hard at all.

"Welcome to Hero Management. My name is Hermione Granger. You may call me Miss Granger," she started. 'Professor' didn't seem to fit in this situation and she wasn't about to let her students call her by her first name. "If you didn't read the class description when you signed up, or if perhaps you were signed up accidentally, this class is going to deal with how to manage being part of a hero's support system. If you've been in Fandom for any amount of time, you know that there are people who have important destinies, or who end up at the forefront of crises. This doesn't apply to most of us, but that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do to help. One of my best friends defeated the greatest Dark Wizard of our time at the age of seventeen. I won't say standing behind him was always fun or easy, but when he needed help, I wanted to do what I could for him. So for the next seven weeks, you're going to learn some things that will allow you to help out the best you can. And if by some chance you're one of the hero types taking this class, maybe you can pick up some pointers yourself."

"Now," she said, "the first week is usually all about introductions, which is exactly what we're going to do today. I want you to go around the room and introduce yourselves, along with the reason why you're taking this class. Let's start with you."

"Wizard?"

One of the problems with Jack is that he has no internal monologue and tends to blurt out things as soon as they come into his head.

"Did she just say 'dark wizard'?" he asked in a hushed tone to nobody in particular.

"Hi," Jack said standing up doing a brief wave with his hand. "I'm Jack Carter and I have no idea how I ended up in this class."

That would be because Zoe filled out the curriculum choices for Jack because he's oblivious.

"I mean... okay, I tend to dive headfirst into crises when they erupt but that's just because somebody has to do it and somehow it's always my responsibility anyway. It's not like I need to be managed or anything."

Oh, Jack. There are so many people in Eureka that would disagree with you.

"Dana Scully," Scully said, nodding to the teacher and her classmates, then sighed. "If your best friend was as capable of being bitten by vampires, knocked out, kidnapped, conned, infected with weird viruses and led astray as often as mine? You'd take this class for coping ideas too."

See what you made her do, Mulder?

"She did," Scully said, keeping her voice down in order to not draw attention. "I'm sorry?" That seemed like one of the only things she could say, if that was coming as a shock.

"Oh, this just keeps getting better all the time," Jack muttered to himself as he slunk down in his desk.

Scully gave the new student a wince of sympathy. "Misleading brochure?"

"My name is Spock," Spock said, "And I am not sure why I am in this class. I do not recall signing up for it. I suspect some kind of paperwork error." Like the one that kept sticking him in sex ed. Look, he was honest. "Still, I am certain I will find it educational and look forward to learning whatever it is that you have to teach us, Miss Granger."

Jack's hands flew up in frustration. "Uh... yeah!"

Now, see, Luke knew that he had one of those destiny type things (thanks, crazy mom!) and he couldn't really see himself being a support system for someone else. The urge to do stupid things himself was too strong. But he tried to think of a good excuse to take this class anyway.

"Uh, well, I'm Luke Castellan and I'm taking this class because..." It took him another second to actually come up with his answer. "...I think there's a chance I might one day stop hogging the spotlight and let one of my friends do the hero thing and I could help them out then."

Well. At least he was right about the letting his friends do the hero thing part.

The mention of a wizard didn't really phase Percy. He was just glad there wasn't anything to take notes on today so he could just listen and try to focus on the words that were coming out of the teacher's mouth.

Even if his attention stayed on Miss Granger, he was still restless enough to tap his fingers against his desk and twirl a pencil around between his fingers.

"Uh, I'm Percy Jackson," he said, trying not to fail on something as simple as introductions this time around. "And I'm taking this class because I've been in a lot of situations where I've needed a support system from my friends and they've always come through for me so I figured I'd try and make sure I could do the same for them."

That sounded good, right?

Hey, look at that, she was English too! That was neat.

"Hello," Wesley said. "I'm Wesley Wyndam-Pryce. I'm taking this class because a large portion of what I was trained to do for most of my life had to do with assisting heroes" -- well, heroines, but close enough -- "and it's rather something I'd like to be good at."

The wonderful thing about teleportation was that Raven could easily return from Italy to make it to class. She didn't want to miss the first day, after all.
