Koschei noted Molly something-or-another come into the library and sit down. He remembered seeing her in classes, and also remembered that she asked intelligent questions. Since most of his classmates did not, he figured that she couldn’t be that bad. Especially as he…
Koschei nabbed the map and quickly took out his wand and muttered the spell to copy it before passing her copy back over. He gave it a brief examination before shrugging.
“Well, there’s always the Time-Turners.” Technically, he shouldn’t use them like that, but no one would know and there was no reason not to. Especially since the teachers here were unlikely to consider them… which could be useful, really. Koschei slipped his copy of the map into his bag and went back to reading his book, which so far had quite failed to convince him that Invisibility couldn’t be useful as long as you also made sure to have common sense and be silent, not bump into anyone, or allow yourself to get anything on you that would reveal your position.

Koschei wandered into the Library after classes had, apparently, finished. The large selection of new, hopefully unseen before, books were a wonderful draw. New schematics might be derived from them, or new creations made from ideas posited by the authors. That…
Koschei noted Molly something-or-another come into the library and sit down. He remembered seeing her in classes, and also remembered that she asked intelligent questions. Since most of his classmates did not, he figured that she couldn’t be that bad. Especially as he glanced at her book and realized that she was reading a fairly esoteric book on extinct magical creatures.
Perhaps conversation would be worthwhile. He was confused about how exactly things were going to work here, such as classes and what times everything happened at. She might know, or at least be able to tell him where he could get a map of this ridiculous castle and its changing staircases, which he had almost fallen off of multiple times.
He cleared his throat and spoke. “Would you happen to know the schedule around here? Or, perhaps, have a map I could copy?”

Koschei wandered into the Library after classes had, apparently, finished. The large selection of new, hopefully unseen before, books were a wonderful draw. New schematics might be derived from them, or new creations made from ideas posited by the authors. That reminded him, he’d have to find out if there was a place to create things here.
Sadly, the lack of schematic books of the type he would be interested in was almost immediately apparent to Koschei. Which was quite a pity. Oh well, they had a section on spells that would probably have books he’d never read before.
They did, so he sat down with Invisibility Spells and Why They Don’t Work and began to read.

Professor Jack Harkness: Rift Movement, Lecture One →
Molly quietly took down her notes as the professor talked about Rifts. She had been quite excited about the class. The subject matter interested her very much and Professor Harkness was very charming and an excellent teacher, as well as Head of House.
Molly was…
Koschei looked back at the teacher.. Jack Harkness, probably, after Molly had finished asking her question and asked one of his own, not bothering to raise his hand.
“Has anyone ever come through the Rift? An intelligent being, I mean. Not an animal. And if so, have they been intelligible and where did they come from? Why did they end up in the Rift?”

Rory Williams, Professor: Necromancy, Lesson One: →
Lesson One:
There was nothing Rory liked less than that first awkward day of class. He was an awkward sort of bloke by trade, so the whole thing was made even worse. But, if he could soldier past it, everything would turn out fine…hopefully.
“So,” he started once the small class had settled…
Koschei, after deciding the grounds were boring and going back to the group, had followed everyone else into the school and found a classroom to sit in. He could always use his Time-Turner if there was another interesting class at this time to attend.
Koschei didn’t bother raising his hand, instead launching straight into his question from his position in the middle of the classroom once the teacher, whatever his name was who cared, had finished speaking.
“What sort of safeguards? Anything that can be cast without preparation time, or would you have to prepare every spell ahead of time?”
Rory smiled, he did like the inquisitive ones.
“Safeguards like making your body keep going longer than it ought to. For example, when Rasputin, a rather talented necromancer, died. He died not from being stoned, the bullet lodged in his brain, or the water in his lungs from the river, but from hypothermia. In fact, he probably would have survived if he’d lived someplace warmer. There are other sorts of safeguards as well: temporary heightened resistance to harm is especially popular despite the massive energy drain it causes. Every spell has a give and take with Necromancy.
“As far as prep times, it’s individual to each spell. Puppets can take weeks to set up, but can then be used without more than the time it takes to recite the spell. On the other hand, the temporary heightened resistance I was talking about takes less and less time the caster uses it, simply because the caster becomes more adept at using the spell. Most spells once initially cast do have shortcuts, however.
“Does that answer your questions?”
“Yes.” Not very useful for mischief then, but useful in other ways. Koschei filed that away for later consideration and settled in for the rest of the class.
