Seeing that she had basic approval from everyone she leaned forward.
"Don't get me wrong you will all have positions of authority. We may be on the side of good but even good needs those with the power to say what goes. I will train you to do this responsibly and with finesse." this last part was directed at Cassi and Sean. Both of these students had the power to be something great but lacked the delicate touch to do it so others would simply accept it and not question.
"Now down to business shall we. I will now pass around a spelled parchment. You will write not write your name as it is known to others write down a pen name. The parchment is spelled to know who it is that truly writes and will recognize only those who have written here by my authority." Handing the paper to Bianca first she smiled.
On the parchment was already a name:
Foresight "Those with Foresight Shall succeed"
"You are all my Knights so whatever name you chose to be known as will begin with Knight. From here on out we will refer to each other only by these names. I need you to protect each other's identities. Outside of meetings and training you shall never refer to the society or your other names. Code for a meeting will be "those with foresight shall succeed." If you think it is necessary for a meeting with me private or group you will have to use this phrase in what ever you state to me." she knew she was being odd and it would come off as harsh but she had to make her point.

Bianca thought for a minuet , she really didnt know what to call herself. However she soon recalled a convorsation with Sasha , they had talked about Italian names " Bianca it means pure or white! Thats what Ill call myself , white!" She thought happily. she then wrote "white" down in small loopy print. The name was both an analogy to her actuall name , and her beliefs . Satisfied , she passed the paper to Sean.

Those with foresight shall succeedshe thought to herself in an attempt to remember that phrase, she'd never know when she'd need it. She knew this was going to be an intense time in her life, she had realized this the moment code names were required. Amanda sat there waiting for the charmed parchment to make its way t her. A code name? she thought desperatelyI'm terrible at coming up with these! Ok so what am I going to use as this code name... she thought . When the parchment finally came to her she wrote down in her average sized writing Shona, her letters were perfectly rounded and were slightly slanted to the right. Satisfied she passed it on to the person beside her.

~When Lladrana finished speaking, Sean continued to stare at her with an interested expression on his face. It was all he could do to contain the greed raging through his body, and he didn't trust him self to speak. Instead he simply nodded, and began to wonder what "code name" that he wanted to be known by. At first he thought of why he was joining the group. The answer was simple. It was not some gallant reason, like "I want to protect Hogwarts." He wanted power. And why did he want power? The answer avoided him for a moment...
Eventually it came to him. In the end, power came down to life and death. Who would live, and who would die. Who would be doing the killing and surviving, and who would suffer and fall. If death was at the root of it all, August felt there was only one name to use, and to the Slytherin it felt strangely fitting. He took the quill and wrote his "name" down on the parchment.
"Knight Scythe."~

Cassidy, for the first time since arriving at Hogwarts, was stunned. One would think that all the magic that was around her would have done so already, but Cassidy was used to all that. No, it took something as simple as a seat to shock this girl.
She knew that Professor Dumont had chosen her as "personal assisstant," but she had no idea it entailed this kind of leadership. Nor did she have any clue that Ms. Dumont would call her out in this manner. Figuring she would've had to assert herself among these other students, she was actually quite a bit gracious that the Professor would do this. Cassidy was proud.
Still stunned and growing anxious, Cassidy quickly squirmed into her seat, trying to look as comfortable as possible. It wasn't that she was nervous, just... anxious. While she was ready for anything, not fearful one bit, she had no idea that she would be put somewhat in charge of such an important organization.
After staring wide-eyed at all the other students, Cassidy eventually looked up at her Professor and smiled. With Llandrana Dumont leading the way, Cassidy knew that great things could be accomplished within this group. And more importantly, she herself would accomplish great things. 'Those with power succeed,' Cassidy mulled over this concept in her mind.
With the flood of excitement, Cassidy had almost forgotten to choose her new code name. Truthfully, Cassidy didn't like the idea of using any other name but her own. She was tempted to just write down 'Knight Cassi,' which was technically a derivation of her name. However, Ms. Dumont already called her by that. Ultimately, she figured that this task was simply for their protection, and while bold, Cassidy was smart enough to know better.
Still pondering the concept of power, Cassidy figured her name should be something that defines her role within this society. As she was head of this student orginzation, she felt as though she should be recognized as such. Therefore, Cassidy chose the origin of the word 'power' itself and wrote: 'Knight Pouere.'
