And how many of them were cold.
"It's still chilly in here, but I promise it'll warm up as soon as we get started."
Raven thinking he has a cold too, but it is something funny, if he announced it, in a lesson of D.A.D.A., the lesson he was aiming for.
"
good morning, Headmaster" Raven greet

No wand? ...!?!
Raven thought, "I think D.A.D.A. is wand practice and practical type of subject, how can we depend our selves in dark arts, if we haven't our wands.
but he is the Headmaster, he know what to do, beside questioning him is likely an act of rebellion.
Raven ready is wand, no, take it back in holster and make it inside, yes, inside of bag. Raven ready a quill and parchment. Headmaster say, serious subject, interesting indeed.

The palpable disappointment in the room almost made him laugh, but Tate wasn't really malicious. "Buck up, chaps. We don't go racing in with wands drawn in every situation, and Defense isn't all about learning to use the right spell in the right place at the right time. It's about defending against the entire family of Dark magics."
He paused for a moment. "Shall we begin, or are there other questions?"
Raven is ready, he didn't need to answer the ask question it merely an order.

"We can diverge from the subject for a moment, but just one moment, and pursue this line of thinking if you'd like. Does anyone have an opinion on Ms. Hollingberry's topic? Should witches and wizards be allowed to protect Muggles? Or more specially, are witches and wizards discouraged from doing that now?"
Raven thinks of something about statute, Raven raised his hand. "
protecting Muggle is allowed in the statute if the life of somebody is involved." Raven say likely more as question than an answer
