...Ugh.
Darn Auror.
Soph knew right away that his statement wasn't a punishment. He wasn't mad that she'd left class and come back - she'd done that before, and he'd never questioned her then - even though this time she'd disrupted class, but she knew well enough that he was seeing right through her stone cold facade and was putting her out of her misery.
Misery, or... whatever this chilling numbness was.
Taking her bag back from him, she slung it over her shoulder wordlessly, then took Zander's hand in hers and started walking back toward the door with him... then promptly stopped and looked back at Dakest, the memory resurfacing of the hug they'd shared when the professor got his bad news at the end of the summer. A hug that she hoped made him feel less numb, less broken by whatever the news was that he had received - and, for a moment, emotions threatened to creep in and cause her to initiate one of those from him in a role reversal this time, but she had her wits enough about her to know where they were. In class. He had a job to do. And she wasn't sure she wanted to feel less numb, or to feel things at all.
Numb was good. Numb was safe. Numb was keeping her together.
She couldn't find her voice, though, to thank him for understanding or say anything at all. Without any more from Sophie Brown besides an empty look directed the professor's way, she was gone, taking Zander Adair with her.
He heard Zander's reasoning and could understand it. Perhaps, it was best the kid had waited. Made things easier. Sort of, but really not really.
At the very least, he was glad he got no argument from Brown. No attempt to try and convince him she should stay. It was a disheartening relief. It made his heart sink even lower into his gut. He watched them go, and only turned when they were gone from the room.
The room full of dazed and bewildered students. He let out a noisy breath. Knowledge, and truth, always came at a price.
SPOILER!!: Candice

There's some ugly things in this world and she need to see it. She didn't want to hide behind her brother and uncle anymore. Like her father said she's not a baby anymore.
When some of the students who stayed to view the Killing Curse memory gave the Professor insight about Killing Curse, Candice decided to stay silent because everyone already said what she wanted to say. So no need to repeat it again.
Then Dakest explained to them the best way to defend themselves from the Killing Curse. Shared wand cores, that's a lucky bet. Using other spell to intercept and hit the killing curse. But the Professor said its a bit risky. Okay. And the last one was dodging, or blocking the curse with a physical barrier. Physical barrier. Riiiiight. She'd remembered that.
---
Its pensieve time.
She wanted to see what's in the pensieve. How bad its. She just wanted to know. So the Gryffindor walked over to the pensieve. She took a deep breath before she ducked her head into the pensieve.
First thing she noticed was she's not in the classroom anymore. Where was she? It look like an aisle but she didn't recognize it the aisle she's in. She couldn't see clearly. She can only see her hands, he wands, the floor beneath her feet and some closer plant leaves. Other things were just foggy. Then there's a shadow. A person? She couldn't tell if the person was a he or a she. She heard a voice. Not a very clear voice. She didn't know what it said. Then suddenly the figure was casting a silent spell. The first a zap of light and the second was an eerie emerald green spell. Killing Curse. Then after that its just CHAOS everywhere. She could feel the fear. The adrenaline pumping. But there's nothing she could do. Its just a memory but it feel SO real.
Then all too quickly she was back into the classroom where she was safe and sound. No foggy background. No plants. No foggy figure. Just her, her classmate and Professor Dakest.
SIGH.
She walked away. FAR AWAY from the pensieve.
Partner. Yes. She need that. When Candice finally managed to control her breathing, she looked around the room to find someone who still partnerless like her. It look like Nicolei still couldn't find a partner. She walked toward the Hufflepuff. "Hey, let's partner up."
His eyes caught on Candice as she left the pensive, and he made his way back towards the bowl. She got a double glance to make sure she was okay, and steady enough on her own two feet. Already finding a partner though, that was good.
SPOILER!!: Henric

He stepped away from the pensive and walked slowly back to his seat. It took him a few minutes to stabilize himself once more. Henric hands were still shaking. He quickly folded his arms on his chest. Yup...no one saw that. B-but..why was he still shaken up by that memory?
As more students started experiencing the same terrible memory in the pensive, Henric watched them quietly with careful attention. Fear stricken faces was seen in each of their faces and he couldn't help but feel a little sick inside. Soon after the pensive viewing was over, they were told to partner up for the activity ahead.
He looked around the room for an available partner but heard someone calling him from behind. He turned his head around to she who? Oh,Candice.He wasn't surprised. Besides... everyone else seemed taken. Shrugging,"Yeah sure, Candice...do you want to start casting the homing spell first?"he asked her.
Henric got a nod, solemn and firm, but understanding. He clapped the kid on the shoulder before the boy headed off. A weather eye was kept on the kid until he seemed well enough to return to his feet and find a partner.
SPOILER!!: Yoongi

He did, however, roll his eyes when he mentioned that there had been little injury. "Little injury?! i thought i was paralyzed when my ... i mean that person's back hit the shelf" Little injury what?!
If the roles had been reversed and Zeke had been the one to sneak attack him, Yoongi would have been in the same situation as the younger Gryffindor was right now. Getting hit by the spell. "Sorry for killing you" he said awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck as he said so. If he would take a profession as a killer he would be a polite one , that's for sure.
When Zeke picked himself up off the floor, Yoongi readied himself, watching his movements and sure enough the same spell was directed in his way a second later. Watching the green magic fly his way, the sixth year thought quickly and .....chose to run to the benches with the spell following him, focused yet panicking in his mind. He reached the nearest bench which was behind him and was about to duck behind it when the spell hit him in his back. He felt a sting and tripped on his feet before toppling over the bench. Oops? "I'm ok!" he shouted, raising his hand in the air. "I'm dead but ok" huh...he was dead. How weird was that? He needed a different tactic...he walked back to Zeke and while he did so...he moved his wand to the side and a flick to the fourth year 'Persequoris' he thought, non-verbally. .......Nothing happened. "Seriously?" he asked , frowning at his wand "Persequoris!" he said out loud this time and watched the flash travel to him.
Sabel
almost laughed. This kid. Merlin.
"Just a little injury." He confirmed. No need to say anymore.
Though, looking around the class, noting the expressions and the changes in skin tone and overall atmosphere, it seemed perhaps it was a good time to wrap things up. There had been a lot to process in the last few minutes, and even though there was still practice going on, he had a feeling that too much would be detrimental by this time.
"Alright everyone, feel free to start wrapping things up. Finish your practice if you want." His voice carried into the next room, where the snitches began slowing and the wall had begun to turn transparent. It looked like ice, melting slowly from the top.
Turning to the pensive, Sabel retrieved the memory and stored it in a vial, which he tucked safely in his pocket. The water got poured out and quickly cleaned up with a wave of his wand.
The wall was less than a few inches high now, though the snitches stayed on their appropriate side of the class. The door itself had melted away.
"Good work today. If anyone needs to speak to me after class, I welcome you to. I'll be in my office." Anyone being mainly the one's who'd seen the killing curse, but it applied to those who likely had burning questions about the pensive as well.
"There are chocolate frogs in a bowl outside the door for all of you. Please, help yourself."
The one day he allowed chocolate. The one day.

OOC: Heya all! Soo lesson is wrapping up. Feel free to finish your practice and get your posts in. I'll close this thread in about 9 hours from this post.
If you have questions for Dakest, feel free to ask. Otherwise, class is officially dismissed 
Thanks all for a great last lesson!! <3 (PS while this is the last 'official' lesson for us, you can assume that as the term is not over, there would be more after this
)
