Journalism 101/201 (Wednesday, January 11 - 5th period)

“Good afternoon, children,” Rita said with a smile, watching the students file in. “I’m Professor Rita Skeeter. Please sign in as you enter, and take a handout."


On the corner of the desk rested a small pile of what might appear to be very old paper, a slender piece of wood and an acid green feather.

"So. You all want to be little reporters. How absolutely darling."

Her smile widened. It was an itty-bitty bit scary.

She perched on the desk, crossing her legs and smoothing her rather tight skirt. "Since I’m absolutely thrilled to have you all in my class, I want to learn about you. Introduce yourself, say your age and where you’re from, what you want to be when you grow up, and something that makes you absolutely unique. Why are you special?

“I’ll go first. I’m Rita Skeeter. You may call me Professor or Ms. Skeeter. I’m thirty-six, most lately of London. I’m a rather well-known journalist,” she laughed, “though I naturally wouldn’t expect many of you to know my work. Muggles often don’t. And as for my uniqueness...well, I grade your papers, and I won’t hesitate to use highly creative measures to enforce in my classroom. I doubt any other teachers have the capability or willingness to jinx naughty boys and girls.”

She tilted her head expectantly, seeming to wait for someone to volunteer.

Clark raises his hand, then upon realizing everyone else is just speaking up, clears his throat. "I'm Clark Kent. I'm fifteen and I'm from Smallville in Kansas. It's kind of, er, small. We used to grow corn there but then the meteors came and now we mostly sell green plastic things on the side of the road."

He pauses and tries to come up with something interesting about himself that isn't going to scare people and bring the men in black bore anyone.

"I won a pumpkin-carving contest when I was ten. It was kind of cool. I got a ribbon and some money and was on TV and everything." Granted, local TV in Smallville isn't that big of a deal -- it was him or the cow weigh-in, and he was cuter -- but it was something.
