| | DADA: Pixies  It was a sure sign that the chilly weather was letting up as today’s weather was mild. Professor Khanna did not think there would be a need for Heating Charms, and if they became necessary during the course of the lesson, that could easily be amended. Speaking of the lesson, even before you step into the DADA classroom, you hear it - that soft-ish chattering sound. Why did it sound as though there were parakeets having quite a spectacular argument? However, when you do make your way into the room you discover there were no parakeets, much less any other sort of birds present. The chattering continued, however. How peculiar.
Your professor is leaning casually against their desk as they await your arrival. The classroom is set up in its traditional manner: desks and chairs in neat rows and columns along with the whiteboard beside Dhruv’s desk. You are greeted genially as you make your presence known.
OOC: Welcome to DADA, everyone! Kindly take a moment to refresh yourselves with the Rules and Guidelines, paying particular attention to the first rule that falls under the OOC category: labelling your posts with your student's name and House. We'll get started officially in about 27 hours  CLASS HAS STARTED! Lesson Progression:

Hogwarts RPG Name: Xerxes Cadwallader Hufflepuff First Year | Xerxes Cadwallader- Hufflepuff Why him?
As the pixie took hold of his ear, Xerxes screamed in pain and tried to pull away but the pixie was unnaturally strong. Even swatting at the blasted creature was ineffective, as the impish little devil was also unseemingly fast.
Xerxes directed his wand in the pixies general direction. Before he could even begin to formulate a plan or think of a specific spell, red and gold sparks shot from end of his wand; right at the pixie.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Aurora Bay Hufflepuff Fourth Year x12 x9
| Aurora Bay - Hufflepuff ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# Information about pixies appeared on the board, and Aurora made sure to take notes even though she already knew some of this information about them. As she wrote stuff down, she listened as the professor continued the lesson. She already knew how to cast Arresto Momentum, but it wasn't a spell that she used often, so it wasn't a bad idea for her to get some practice in before the activity. "Ah-REST-oh - mo-MENT-um," she said slowly a few times before moving on to practice the wand movement. It was very simple, and she waved her wand a few times. There done.
Activity time!
Aurora was glad that the professor was going to be staying with them for the entire time. Which should be a given. But after what had happened during Muggle Studies the reassurance was comforting.
The pixies were released, and she tried her best to duck and avoid them. Xerxes asked to work with her, and she sent her friend a smile. "Sure!" But before she could target a pixie of her own, the one that Xerxes aimed at grabbed his ear.
Thinking quickly she cast Immobulus towards the pixie so that it would let go of him. |

Diego nodded enthusiatically when asked to partner, "Sure!" Rose was so nice, she helped him on the Gobstones team, so he had a chance the few times he wasn't on the bench.
There was one thing for certain... These Pixies were EVIL, even though they had such nice looking teeth, perfect for pictures. Diego's eyes remained fixed open out of uncertainty. Professor Khanna said he wasn't going to leave them... right? His head turned to see he was staying. He sighed in relief. He was much better than Professor Leroy. But what if all the Pixies decided to team up on Professor Khanna? His thoughts were interrupted by the scream of a first year.
"Don't worry! You'll be okay!" Diego said. Rory was already protecting them.
But Rose on the other hand, she was now missing a tie! "Hey, that's not nice! You have to ask before borrowing things!" He then mimicked the wand movement that he perfected earlier aiming at the fleeing pixie, "Arresto Momentum!"
Stay fixed, Pixie! |

He was good and nice when they played gobstones. A sudden loud pained shriek from Xeres distracted Rose as her eyes flew to the little badger boy with concern. Luckily he had Rory in his corner.
Her attention was brought back to her own situation as her spell missed, and a pixie grabbed her tie. "Hey! That's my tie, give it back!"Rose shouted after the fleeing pixie raising her wand, aiming and swishing as she casted with irritation "Arresto Momentum!" Could she please have her tie back? Hopefully both her and Diego's spells would hit.

It was definitely useful to have the refresher as well for this charm, since it wasn't necessarily a common spell.
Before long though they were moving on to the task of capturing pixies and placing them in their cages. To which Khanna stated he would be present the whole time, aka not pulling a Professor Leroy and leaving them to their own devices. Gravitating towards his dormmate, Antony, "Wanna work together?" He said in haste, hoping to not attract too much attention, as he quickly repacked his notes, and wand was out in offense. Quote:

Goodness! Did you feel a few hairs part with your scalp? Understandably, the time was coming for pixies to be unleashed for them to practice on. Antony wasn't too fussed by the idea of a pixie getting a hold of his notes - he hadn't written down anything particularly insightful, so he was sure he could find the information in his textbooks if he needed it. Thus, the textbook was the only thing he decided to put away in his bag before the pixies were freed.
He looked up when his dormmate Kartik asked to partner up. "Sure, mate." Facing the creatures with a partner seemed as good a strategy as any.
And not a moment too soon, because one of the pixies zoomed over and grabbed at Kartik's hair. Ouch. "Arresto momentum," Antony said, the spell aiming for that pixie.

Thinking quickly she cast Immobulus towards the pixie so that it would let go of him. Oh how this pixie loved the chaos! It cackled in a high pitched voice, adding its own noise to the human’s screaming. Try to pull away all you want, little boy! That wouldn’t work, unless you were keen on having your ear part ways with the rest of your body.
Suddenly, the creature froze mid cackle. The pointy thing in its face was a threat. A very huge threat. Its eyes widened even more than they naturally were. The sparks spitting in its direction scare it enough for it to shoot back into the air. But it wouldn’t stay there for long! The pixie plastered a wide evil smile on its face as it divebombed the Hufflepuff.
What it did not count on was the second human teaming up with the first. The pixie was only a few feet away from the pair when it felt itself go remarkably still. Try as it might to budge, its body refused to cooperate. Oh NOooOOOO! It did not like this one bit! No, Sir! Quote:

Hopefully both her and Diego's spells would hit. Evil, Mischievous, call pixies whatever you wanted. They were here to have fun at your expense. This one with the tie clutched in its tiny fist, tauntingly dangled the tie in inches from the two humans.
Catch that tie if you can!
It started to zoom closer to the two when flashes of lights went off in its direction. The tiny creature was hit squarely in the chest with the first beam. Its zooming ceased dramatically into a snail-like pace, though it continued in the pair’s direction.
Not very EEEEEHEHEE! Quote:

The spell missed the pixie by a hair; naturally it retained its grip on the first human. But the second human? Before he knew it, two new electric blue creatures appeared on either side of him.
They cackled identically.
HEEHEEEE!
In unison, they reached for either of his ears. They were able to hoist him from the ground. One foot, two feet, three feet and climbing!

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. True to their word, Dhruv had not abandoned their students; that was something they would never do. Especially not after the experience with a certain ex Muggle Studies professor. No, the professor could be found in a far corner at the front of the classroom observing everything. Their hands were crossed casually over their chest but don’t let the stance fool you. They were quite ready to spring into action if necessary.
It was to be expected, all this chaos. He could only hope that Mr. Joshi wasn’t in too much pain, or if Mr. Cadwallader wanted to back out of the fray, that would be perfectly okay. Regardless of the outcome of spells sent at the Pixies, Dhruv admired the determination exhibited by Ms. Bay, Mr. Melo-Dreamer, Ms. Snakebark and Mr. Vexmoor.
A check of the time indicated that there was just five minutes left for the lesson. Of course, it made no sense for Dhruv to announce this. Not when the classroom was filled with pixie chatters and cackles and students shouting incantations. OOC: Hi, my lovelies! Just about 24 hours left before the activity ends! You guys and your characters are doing excellently so far |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Xerxes Cadwallader Hufflepuff First Year | Xerxes Cadwallader- Hufflepuff Xerxes grabbed the pixie that Rory had immobilized and hurriedly stuck it back in its cage. He then ran back to Rory, wand out and alert for more danger.
"Lets stand back-to-back, Rory! That way they can't sneak up on us." Xerxes shouted as he reached her side. He then turned around stood with his back right up against Rory's, eyes peeled for any electric blue imps that wanted to try and attack him.
Xerxes saw another one coming at him. "Arresto Momentum!" he shouted, aiming directly at the pixie's chest.

| Aurora Bay - Hufflepuff ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# Aurora was pleased to see that her spell worked and Xerxes was okay. She watched him place the pixie she had immobilized into the cage, making sure to watch out for any other attacks in the meantime.
She nodded as he suggested that they stay back to back. That really was the best idea. She watched for more pixies, and as soon as one came her way she was ready to cast the spell. "Arresto Momentum!” Hopefully they would both have luck with slowing the pixies down. |

"Arresto Momentum!” Hopefully they would both have luck with slowing the pixies down. One pixie down, which meant one less pixie was out there causing mayhem! Kudos to you, young human.
Your plan of action was a brilliant one. Yet you both can only look in one direction each simultaneously. Neither of you were looking directly above at the time. The pixie swooped in, rapping the boy smartly on the head then the same with the girl. It had been aiming to distract you from the other attacking pixies within eyesight.
The spell the girl sent missed the pixie she was aiming at by a hair. It stuck its tongue out at her while dancing with glee. The spell the boy sent, however? It hit its target with great precision. The little rascal zooming ceased drastically so that it drifted almost serenely towards you.
Another one for the smaller cages, perhaps?

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. It seemed the team work of Mr. Cadwallader and Ms. Bay continued to yield results. Not to mention the rest of the students were successful in their own way, despite some spells not finding their target. It was a pity that the lesson now had to come to an end.
A bit of wandless magic on Dhruv’s part was performed which saw the remaining airbourne pixies being temporarily suspended in the air. Any stolen piece of uniform floated back to their respective owners, and any unfortunate student who had been hoisted into the air was returned safely to the ground. “Sadly we’re out of time for today, but I must say that each of you has done excellently. As a reward, there will not be any homework today. Class is dismissed.” OOC: That’s a wrap, my people! Thanks much for attending! The thread will be closing in a few hours to accommodate anyone who wants to RP their kiddo leaving |
