Fletcher turned in his seat, surprised that he was the one being tapped now. Oh, but it was Rae! Awesome. They had been great DADA partners last term.
He gave her a wassupwassup manly head nod and a wink, you know, as all the cool guys do. And then he spotted yet another one of his many girl....friends in the class too.
Oooh heyyyyy girl heyyyy Sandra! Fletcher mouthed, "You. Me. Later." at her and wiggled his eyebrows for emphasis. Cheyaaaaa she remembered him from the feast.... surely....
Fletcher straightened up in his seat momentarily when the professor... er... Headmaster....? HeadProfessor? Professor Tot? Head Tater? Lord Vader? Lord Vadertot? Whatever. When the dude in charge addressed him, Fletcher couldn't resist flashing his trademark crooked grin.
"Yeah sorry 'bout that. I agree with you sir, unless you friends are with you in detention." And earning one of those was his goal for this term. Just not with Sir Tot. Er, TaterVader. He wanted a detention with the Tiger!Lady CoMC Professor. Or the hottie that taught charms. Yeahhhh.
But back to class. He liked DaDA generally.
"It means," Fletcher piped up loudly, waving his hand about, "that you must always be practicing CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"
He slammed his fist down on his desk for emphasis and knocked his own bag off the edge in the process. "You should strike down your enemy before he strikes you! Be the best! On your toes! If you're not first you're last!"
That somehow made more sense in his head than outside it. But hey, at least he was participating, right? Quote:

But then the boy was shouting about vigilance. Surprise of the century... Fluffy!Puff had something to contribute. Perhaps he wasn't holding an oxygen supply under his well-coiffed hair.
"It sounds like we generally agree on how to interpret this quote, although there are some of you with some REALLY disturbing and violent tendencies." Like Destiny karate chopping people and Lina drawing up battle plans. He'd be watching those two.
For recruitment, of course.
"We all generally agree that being proactive, making plans, being vigilant, as GlitterPuff says, all of this is important aspects of defensive thinking. In order to be defensive... we have to be prepared. We have to be thinking about what is coming at us, expecting the worst."
"Hold that thought," Tate smiled slightly at Kellen's response. You couldn't win a duel with Protego alone, but it was an important spell, especially for the youngest students in this class.
"Now, let's continue in this train of thought for a moment. How can we 'be prepared' as the Muggle Scouts say? As the GlitterPuff says... how can we be vigilant?" We're putting Mama Ern to bed... and Tate too. Please remember that answering the question is GOOD. WE LIKE THAT. But please no chatting. We shall resume at about 5/6 pm EST tomorrow. Quote:

He was still staring at the man, slack-jawed and all, until he DELIBERATELY mentioned Fletcher by the name of GlitterPuff. He was so suddenly upset by the horrendous name that he almost (almost) didn't even notice Sandra noticing him noticing her! GASP!
For the love of tea time and hot buttered scones! "Sir, sir, my name is Fletcher, just for future reference. And I hate glitter."
It was right up there on his list of disgusting girly thigs, like giggling, unnecessarily large purses and lip gloss that smelled good but tasted bad.
But to stay on topic, to impress those Durmstrang girls, Fletcher raised his hand again with an idea. "Well, to be one step ahead of your enemy and prepared for whatever they might throw at you, you should always, always gaze at your handy dandy crystal ball before you duel them to see what spells they'll cast and what the outcome will be. Then, you can even place a wager on the outcome of the duel so you'll win AND be handsomely rewarded."
Brilliant idea if he did say so himself. "And you should always, you know, be taking good care of your wand so it works properly and if you own an invisibility cloak, keep that on your person at all times along with some Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder for a quick escape." Genius!
"Oh, and uh," Fletcher's arm was getting tired from his smart but long-winded answer, "be resourceful and mindful of your surroundings while dueling." He was just assuming this was in a hypothetical duel for some lady's honor, right? "Because you might just come across something that could make the difference, like a stack of freshly-filled water balloons for a sneak attack to your enemy's face."
Rae was listening to everyone else's response when she looked at Fletcher, shouting CONSTANT VIGILANCE and pounding his fist on the desk. It was times like this that reminded Rae of why she was friends with this kid. His outburst made Rae laugh on the inside. And when he mentioned having friends in detention with him, Rae knew she was on that list. After all, they were mischief buddies right?
Right, another question. Rae can at least try to answer this? Even if she will make herself look stupid. Why can't she just be in Transfiguration? She raised her hand slowly and hesitantly "Er.... Well maybe having a plan of not planning... If that made any sense. I mean, Do things you normally don't do, to make yourself unpredictable and to catch your enemy off guard... Right?" Most likely wrong..
GlitterPuffHAHAHAHAHAH! Rae listened to Fletcher's outrage and then his answer all while trying to hold in her laughter. She even had to burry her face in her arms on top the desk in order to keep herself from laughing uncontrollably. Yes, she needed to be around Fletcher more, this year would be a lot easier with him around. Though now he seemed to busy with all those girls. Eesh,
