Default DADA Lesson One - It's Snow Trouble

On a fairly chilly post-breakfast morning of the sixteenth of October, you might find yourself heading towards the first floor for another Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson. At this point, it might not be surprising to find that the classroom looks rather empty but you don't have to have a keen eye to notice that the classroom is covered in something you wouldn't even find in the castle itself, forget a Defence room.

Snow.

Looking around, you notice that every inch of the floor in the well-lit room is covered in soft, fluffy snow, causing you to leave footprints as you head further inside. There are no signs or explanations as to why that is and there certainly aren't any cushions to suggest that this is the right place to be. Confused? You might be.

Apart from the snow, there's something else in the room that might help to suggest that this is a Defence room. Lifeless and motionless, an array of dummies can be seen standing along the edges of the room instead of their usual spot in some of the other defence rooms. Maybe they could give you an inclination as to what you're going to be doing today?

Those who are observant enough might notice that along with the usual classroom decor, Professor Hirsch seems to be missing as well. Where could the man be and why wasn't he here yet? And, most importantly, did that mean that this was the right room or not?

While you're left pondering - or just enjoying the sight of the snow - come in and make yourselves as comfortable as possible...

class progression:
- MINI ACTIVITY:
_____- Dummies post
_____- Dummies post
_____- Dummies post
- What went well in that activity? And what would you do differently next time?
- Protego Munio + why might some people prefer that spell? What makes it better or worse in terms of defence?
- MAIN ACTIVITY: Use the spell to protect yourselves in a SNOWBALL FIGHT!
- That's all, folks!


OOC: Please make sure you're familiar with Hirsch's rules as well as the SS site rules before posting. Class will continue tomorrow (eveningtime GMT+1) Class has already started but you're more than welcome to jump in! Simply pretend as though your charrie has been here the entire time. Hope you have fun! ^^

Zoryn was ALL about this activity!!! Snowball fight in class? This was AWESOME !!!!!!

She was SO pumped about it that after launching her first snowball at Patrick, she hadn't even waited to see if it was a hit. 'Cauuuuuse, like, she had to make MORE and throw MORE, y'know? There were more important things going on here. Like the giant snowball army she was working on !!!!!

The Gryffindor bent down and began packing snow once again, look up every few minutes to throw more and more in the air!!! It wasn't until her second round of launching when she felt a giant glob of COLD hit her back. Oooof. Maybe she should've been working on the shield spell too, eh?

"Protego munio!!" she tried defiantly. When nothing reeeaaaaaaally happened she let out a sigh of defeat. Dude. Some snow was DEFINITELY wiggling, but no shield. So of course, instead of trying again... The stubborn Gryffindor decided to continue focusing all of her efforts on throwing snowballs across the room. At least this way no one could say that she hadn't tried.

'Cause she had.

With a mischievous grin, Kye started throwing some of her snowballs at the wall.

BAM!
THWACK!

"Impressive... Okay okay, I need to fix my wall up again," Kye realized.

"Protego Munio!"

She felt much more confident in how her wall was progressing. "You can test mine if you feel so inclined... I want to know if I'm safe from the snow," Kye laughed.

Oh Bel was TORN. She loved the idea of getting into a snowball fight... in theory. But the snow? On her? Getting her cold? The Australian girl was not about that life. She was also still incredibly skeptical about the whole attack dummies situation that had happened at the beginning of the lesson as well as the professor's flippant attitude about it, even if he did say she was an excellent thinker.

And then there was the spell, which was fine, but then you wouldn't be getting to properly do a snowball fight either, or at least she wouldn't. Spell casting wasn't a strength of hers at all, so she'd have to focus just really hard on that and probably get snow all down her shirt and in her hair and not even get to throw any herself. Throw or block? How did you choose? She wasn't really up to speed on snowball etiquette. The only times she'd been anywhere with snow, at ski fields back in 'stralia, it had been for snowboarding and skiing, and not to play around in the stuff. And she was SURE if she joined in right away she wouldn't manage the spell and probably would get distracted and just end up tossing snowballs.

She decided to compromise with herself and stepped outside of the snowball area to try and get the hang of this spell. If she managed it maybe she'd give the snowball thing a shot? Maybe. If she could put warming charms on herself first of course.

Okay so this spell. Protego Munio. Particle wall shield. Upward sweep and flick. Bel gave the wand movement a few goes and tried not to look too wistfully at the kids having a blast with the snowball fighting. But no, she had to get it under control first!

Upward sweep and flick.

And.....

Protego Munio. Munio.

MUUUUUUUUUUUUNIO.

"Protego Munio!" Bel gave it a go with the wand movement and snow particles flicked into the air suddenly..... and just as suddenly dispersed.

Welp.

Default *ahem* quick phone post. Snowball directed at Zoryn #notsorry

Was it weird that she'd been watching the Gryffindor Captain from behind her little snow fort/shield? Because she was finding quite the amusing in watching her engage in the snowball fight and not really attempt the spell at all. Except like once and even then she went right back to making snowballs.

And Skylar didn't really know why because she wasn't in a snow throwing mood, but when she saw the dark haired girl bend down to make another snowball, that was the snakette's shot as she bent down herself and tossed a well-aimed snowball at the back of Zoryn's head.

And because she was determined to keep her appearances down too, she quickly followed it up with another casting of "Protego Munio" hoping it was enough to keep from subsequent return attacks. Because nothing to see over here; nothing at all.

So far she wasn't having much luck. And it was even harder to focus when you could see interesting things going on like Skylar Diggory throwing snowballs at Zoryn Spinnet.

Captain battle.

Innnnteresting. See?

But ahem. Bel really wanted to get this spell down. She tried the wand movement again and spoke clearly, "Protego Munio!" This time...... the shield was exactly the same. A few seconds of the particles of snow apparently forming some kind of wall... and then poof, gone. Snow falling to her feet.

It was also quite sluggish for her too, she was finding. Was there a way of making the particles form into a shield faster? Definitely Bel was beginning to think she wasn't going to manage this before the lesson ended.

Default Tossing Snowballs & Ickle down! ^-^
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium

Crouching down low behind her shield offered the best amount of protection from flying snowballs while she made as many of her own snowballs as she could. Rylee could not only see the snow smashing into the shield but the sound was like nothing else. It made her giggle.

Rising to her feet again she tossed several smaller snowballs that she had cradled in the crook of her arm.

SMASH! SPLAT!

Uh-oh!

The shield was weak to begin with but now it was flattering badly. There were holes in it and just as Rylee pulled her wand to reinforce it, it was gone. It was gone and snowballs still continued to rain down around her. One hitting her right in the chest knocking her off her feet and down into the snow. It was enough to take a small girls breath away and possibly bring tears to ones eyes but all Rylee was capable of doing was laughing. Laughing so hard she could hardly catch her breath as she laid there in the snow.

"Pro- Protego.... Protego Munio!" she cast between bursts of laughter. Particles of snow flew up to form a shield but who really knew just how long this one would last?

She approached the younger girl and smile. ”Let me show you…. Protego Munio.” Doing the sweeping motion upward vertically and a flick at the end. Mmm that was actually the first time she had tried it out with both the wand movement and incantation together.

Which actually worked out to her advantage, considering that Jessa’s large snowball was flying her and the younger girls direction. How did Jessa make such a big snowball? Could she show her how to do that? The snowball hit her shield with big….

SPLAT!


Skyler laughed nervously after the snowball hit the shield.
"Thanks," she said. "It's the third month or so and I'm still not good at this," she smiled a bit keeping a sharp eye out for incoming snowballs.
She tried the wand movement with iut the wand though. Last thing she needed was a missfire.

Ooc:oy. Hope that's the right situation. Lol

Another flick sent it flying toward the larger group of overzealous classmates. [b]"See? Easy as that.

She jumped at the sudden feel of something cold whacking against the side of her head, belatedly remembering that constant vigilance was still meant to be a thing. "Never really been one for the whole running around bit." Between her asthma and her other interests, there was just no appeal. "We should partner up."

The Ravenclaw wiped the snow away, thinking about warmer thoughts.

"You shield and I'll fire. Or I'll shield and you'll fire." Either way, with them firing through the shield, someone was gonna need to be patching it up again.
Riiiiight. Okay.

Natalie too jumped a little bit when Jessa got hit with a rogue snowball. She was just glad it wasn't her. And honestly, she appreciated her company, but she really wasn't in the mood to be in class and practice spells. However... she didn't want to let her down.

"You can do the shield," she said, tucking her wand away because she wasn't good enough to pick up snowballs, throw them AND aim them with magic. So she would throw them.

Stooping over, Natalie picked up a whole bunch of snow and started to ball it up in her hands. "Get ready!" she said as she finished balling it up. Then she took a step back and tossed it right at her.

Default rogue snowball here!
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Scarlett was SUPER pleased with herself when her snowball had made contact with someone - so pleased, in fact, that she completely let down her guard, and her snow shield crumpled to the floor. It was just a pile of snowflakes on the ground now. Whoops.

Ducking to miss another snowball that shot at her head, she bent down and aimed at the shield again. With a vertical wand motion, with a flick at the end, she muttered "Protego Munio!" once again, watching as the snow reformed into the shield in front of her. Now she had to really focus...

She took her wand and made another quick snowball, sending it off into the air as she protected her face with the shield - so she wasn't sure where it was going.

SCORE! Her snowball actually got some distance and hit against something instead of falling off to the side. Guess her aim wasn’t that bad. Didn’t even matter that it hit up against Juni’s shield. The point was, she was still on point with her animation charm—and why shouldn’t she have been? Merlin knew she cast it too often.

Oblivious as she could sometimes be in the pursuit of her own preoccupations, Jessa could tell Nat didn’t wanna be doing this. These types of activities weren’t for everyone so anything to help a friend really. The Ravenclaw took a few measured steps back while she gathered the snow for the attack, wanting both to give her some throwing room while allowing herself enough space to pull up a shield.

”Yep! Ready when you are!” She enthused, lifting her wand again. She’d actually thought of them taking on the class with one attacking and one defending but if Nat was already on board with this idea, there was really no reason to press the issue.

“Protego Munio!” Again, she opted to use the incantation, adding this spell to the list she would need to go over non-verbally. Now that she had most of the commonly used ones down, she no longer saw the need to impair class performance while she tried to get it right.

Besides, as she’d learned, it worked out better when she had some alone time to practice, rather than in the middle of a large group who were usually loudly yelling incantations about the room. As if concentration wasn’t hard enough to come by. Jessa watched the snow about her bunch together, piling high to create another wall shield just in time to meet Nat’s snowball head on. “Nice one! We might have time for you to toss a couple more.” but there was now a five minute warning.

Olivia tried (in vain) not to appear too smug, but like..... she was a Gryffindor and fiercely talented at this subject, so... what did you think was going to happen? The blonde listen with rapt attention as Professor Hirsch finally revealed what they'd be doing for the day....and honestly, she had to laugh at it since... Well, her peers had been doing that? Subconsciously, her gaze fell to the young Montmorency boy (again).

Liv supposed if he continued to get ganged up on, she would have to have his back. Cause they were housemates, and potential teammates...

Not that she felt she'd have any issues with the spell, but naturally a bit of practice (first and foremost) never went amiss. The wand movement would probably be the easiest to manage, since it mirrored other spells she was fond of...but again... practice. Flexing her fingers a bit, Liv grasped her wand more comfortably; side-stepping a few of her peers. BIG sweeping movement UPWARD... almost like she was cutting the actual room in half. Without meaning to, the movement stirred the snow beneath her feet; causing it to harden....and slicken? Like ice....

No, wand...stop that. Focus, focus, foooocus.

CLEARING her mind, she tried again; pleased that it didn't even rustle the snow particles this time. Merlin, you have one stray thought about sledding and an ice slide, and your wand goes nuts... "Pro-TAY-go.....MOO-nee-oh." That was the incantation, which wasn't as difficult at Liv thought it might of been, but that was for the best. Otherwise....they might be here all day. "Pro-TAY-go.....MOO-nee-oh..... Protego Munio." Mm. Trying to challenge herself, Olivia attempted to perform the spell non-verbally.....which had SOME success. As the snow rose up before her, scantily creating a shield that wouldn't have lasted long, anyway, considering it's design, she allowed herself a pleasant smile. Something to work on later!

For now.... there was some preparations that needed to be made.

Since she didn't feel like manually balling up snow, the blonde magically created a small pile for herself to work with while she kept her the shield going. As an aside, Olivia couldn't wait to own two wands. How did anyone get anything accomplished with just one (for all these years), she'd never figure that out.

Hm, with a small arsenal at her disposal, Liv finally shouted out the incantation for the shield. "Protego Munio!!!" As it had before, the snow began to gather, more rapidly forming to protect her against the "fire power" of her peers. Now....what was this going to work? It wasn't going to last forever, and it was prettily quickly executed. Maybe she should've threw and then defended. Like in actual duelling. Right, yeah. Let's do that, instead. Waiting for it to fully vanish, considering she was getting hit with snowballs from somewhere.... she began returning fire without seeing where they were actually landing. Liv probably could've used this as a way to practice her aim, but... Eh, who needed to concern themselves with quidditch right now? Not her....

Jessa and Natalie received snowballs, as did Juniper and Scarlett..... After depleting herself, she quickly shouted the spell again, "Protego Munio!"

He had definitely guessed right when she had asked about testing his wall. Yup, she wanted to bombard it with snowballs, of course. He hid behind until it had been awhile since he heard an impact. "Well I guess I know it works now!" he said, excited and NOT covered in snowball debris.

And he was totally going to take her up on that next part, too. "Prepare yourself!" He was from Scotland; he was allllll about making snowballs, they got loads of practice each year. Finn chucked one at her wall, where it hit with a THUD! and dropped straight down. He tried again, hitting a different part of the shield. Same result. "Yeah, I think that works!"

Now to blow on his hands and warm them up. Snow was coooooold.

Time was ticking and it was getting closer and closer to the end of the lesson, something that a few of them might be happy about. The activity might be a fun one but it was still a lesson at the end of the day and no one wanted to stay in a lesson forever. Plus, to make matters worse, it wasn't exactly warm in here.

Maybe snow wasn't a good idea. Maybe sand would've been a better idea, even if snowballs were much easier to throw around then something like sand.

The man glanced down at his watch every now and then before the second hand reached twelve, signalling that the time, and the lesson, was up. Placing his thumb and index finger in his mouth, Hirsch let out a loud whistle in an attempt to get everyone's attention. "Okay, everyone! I'm afraid that's all we have time for for today's lesson. A very big well done to every one of you for making an attempt at the spell."

"Make sure to cast some Heating Charms on yourself otherwise you're going to be left with some very blue fingers and toes. If you don't know how to cast the spell, come to the front and I'll do it for you." Plus, he didn't want to be told off by the new Healer. "If you don't have any questions, you're welcome to go."



OOC: Wheeeeeeee

That's the end of the activity and therefore the end of the lesson. Whether you came for one portion or the entire thing, thank you for participating nonetheless! It means a lot to me. And I hope you enjoyed it!

I'm going to leave the thread open for 24 hours if you want to post your charrie leaving. Thank you, once again ^^

She internally cheered when the professor announced the end of class. Thankful to not be smacked with snowballs anymore, she glanced side to side, then made her way over to her bag. She smiled to the many happy students as she passed them. It had started out scary, but the classes ended on a positive note.

After picking up her bag, she made her way over to Professor Hirsch for the heating charm. Her finger were turning a bit blue, as were her lips. It was cold playing with the snow. “Sir, I would love to be warmed up.” She stood near him and rubbed her hands together, trying to generate a bit of heat to take the edge off. After being warmed she started to walk away.

Just a few steps later, she turned back to Professor Hirsch, “Thanks for a great class.” She gave a little wave, turned on her heels, and headed out the door.

"Protego Munio."

That was it. That was the incantation the other students were using and, now that he thought about it, it was the one Abra could recall Professor Hirsch mentioning. He repeated it to himself and tried to pick up the wand movement from the others as best he could. This was a bit of a risk, because there was a lot of variation depending on the person casting the spell, so it was difficult to tell what the actual literal instructions had been in the first place. Oh, sure, he COULD go ask Hirsch to refresh his memory, but in the heat (actually the very literal opposite of heat) of the situation, this possibility had totally slipped his mind.

The wand movement looked like what Abra would describe as a sort of... upward brandish. He supposed that the intent he needed to focus on was all about picturing the snow particles blending with magic to form a wall or a barrier, which didn't sound so difficult, but Hirsch had also said that the spell required a high level of concentration - Abra hadn't forgotten that part.

He shivered yet again, and made as if he was about to try and hug some warmth back into his own body, before changing his mind and raising his wand instead. If he started trying to warm himself up, he'd never get onto attempting the spell, because he'd never succeed in his first task.

"Protego Munio." He tried his best to get rid of his accent as he recited the incantation, because that was often a real personal obstacle. Brandishing his wand upwards in what he hoped was the right motion, Abra focused as hard as he could on forming a shield and bringing in the snow that surrounded him to combine the two, but he was already starting to question how he would know the spell had worked if he couldn't see the snow from his position inside the shield. How did he know it wouldn't just be a regular shield?

Forget maintaining a high level of concentration, Abra was struggling to reach that level in the first place, and the cold wasn't helping either. His teeth chattered. The spell failed. He mentally cursed himself.

-----

Overall it was the concentration element of the spell that was Abra's downfall, which he supposed he'd sort of known would be the case all along. It was... disheartening. One of his usual strengths was defence magic - shields, disarming spells, stuff like that - so to not be successful (or, at least, as successful as he would have liked) in a lesson focused on exactly that was... well... yeah. It sucked, okay? OKAY? It did.

And now class was over and it was still cold and also actually Abra suddenly remembered his dilemma about visiting Hirsch, or maybe actually it had been on his mind the entire time and that was why he couldn't fully focus. Or maybe he really was just a failure.

He was about to make a very swift exit before he properly registered the mention of heating charms. Then, he lingered. He was freezing and shivering and his fingers and toes were cold enough as to be completely numb, despite not having partaken in the actual throwing of snowballs. Abra didn't feel particularly confident in his own abilities with his heating charms - or, you know, any spell at all - after his ABJECT (read: partial) FAILURE in the lesson, so he did indeed go straight up to Professor Hirsch and shivered violently in his general direction. Warmth, please.

Patrick held the snowball in his hand about to throw it when suddenly class was called to an end. He had really enjoyed the lesson. He had even possibly gotten over his fear of showing up to DADA. He shook the snow of his clothes and decided it was time to run and change before his next class. He looked over at Professor Hirsch, "great lesson! see you next time." he said scurrying out quickly in hopes of drying off and maybe even getting a nice warm shower instead of a charm. The charms never felt as warm as a nice warm sit by a fire and shower.

Laying in the snow made one a prime target for snowballs, especially when she was still laughing. At least she had managed to get her shield in place once more even if it was faulty and ready to crumble at the simplest of things hitting it.

All to soon Professor Hirsch was announcing the end of the lesson. She had loads of fun tossing around snow even if she was covered in it and freezing. Rising to her feet again, Rylee shook herself free of some of the snow, much like how a dog shakes off water. Going to collect her bag she slung it over her shoulder before walking towards Professor Hirsch to get some help with the heating charm. "That was great, professor!" Really tons of fun. "Could you help me with the warming charm too, please?" Once the charm was in place and already feeling warmer the first year headed out and back up to her dorm for some dry snow free clothing.

Yes! Her shield worked under attack, perfect. Kye felt content with how she had progressed, and didn't even have time to do anything else before class officially ended.

"Well that was fun," she smiled at Finn, "I could definitely go for some hot cocoa now..." She took up Professor Hirsch's suggestion and warmed herself up as she headed towards the door.

"Thank you, Professor!" she called, only half forgiving him for scaring her earlier.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

There was something to be said about dropping your guard in the middle of a snowball fight. If she’d forgotten it, Liv has definitely gone on to provide a proper reminder. No sooner than she’d lowered her guard, a snowball came and whacked her right in the face sending a new chill running through her.

Right through the warming charm that one went.

“Nice one Liv!”

But just as she’d gotten it wiped off her face, the Professor was calling for he end of the activity. Oh. The lesson was over? Merlin time sure flew by when everyone was busy either freaking out or attacking each other. It was no wonder Gryffindors had such issues with time.

To be on the safe side, Jessa reapplied the warming charm then began dusting away the rest of the snow.

“Eye opening lesson Professor. Always important to know the panicked for when real disaster hits. I’ll see you later.” She had plans to find him later to further discuss her latest study. It was pretty exciting stuff.
