Today’s DADA lesson was among the first on your schedule. Professor Khanna would hope that you’re wide awake by now, and packed with energy as the topic was a particularly interesting one. You wouldn’t want to be asleep for this one!
As you arrive at the Dueling Arena, there doesn’t appear to be anything that gives hints about the topic. In fact, even though the entire Arena wouldn’t be in use, the setup resembles that of a classroom quite closely: neat rows of desks and chairs, while your professor’s desk and the board sit at the front. Professor Khanna is casually leaning against that desk, anchored by their palms resting on either side of them. As usual, they greet you with a smile.
OOC:Welcome to term 72’s DADA lesson! It's certainly not the first one IC-wise, however. Just a gentle reminder to read 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. In addition, please keep character chatter to a minimum.
We'll get started in about 30 hours CLASS HAS STARTED!

Paul was feeling alright these days, with Idris close by per usual. When he arrived at the Dueling Arena, he could see there would be quite a spectacul today in the lesson.
"Hello, Professor." Paul greeted. He would smile, but it was still hard these days. So his lips tightened from the effort with a nod. They sure seemed happy at least.

Defence Against the Dark Arts was always fun, and Aurora enjoyed it even more because she was fond of Professor Dhruv, having known them for a long time. She was glad that she was feeling wide awake, as she always suffered when she went to a lesson tired. She wanted to be at her best for whatever they had in store for the lesson.
”Hello, Professor!” she greeted cheerfully as she made her way into the Duelling Arena. Aurora waved to Paul and Idris before going to sit by them. As usual she glanced around the room, but she couldn’t find any hints as to what they would be studying. Oh well. She’d know soon enough.

Nathaniel covered a yawn with his hand as he entered the classroom. He'd gone to sleep late last night, partly from studying and partly because he'd had trouble falling asleep for whatever reason, so the fatigue lingered. But this was a subject he liked, so he had no intention of sleeping during class even if a nap would be nice. It wasn't worth missing potentially crucial information for his exams.
"Mornin', Professor," he said. He noted the students who had already arrived, like Paul and Idris and Aurora, and offered a casual nod if they happened to look his way, but otherwise he was silent as he found a seat in the back row to sit in.

And there came the first student. Correction - students, as Idris was in tow. “Hello, Mr. Rocker.” The Hufflepuff’s demeanour came as no surprise. As they greeted Idris, a knowing look passed between them and the Gryffindor: it was one of understanding that they would both continue looking out for Paul.
SPOILER!!: Aurora!

And here was another face that Dhruv knew out of the School. They were pleased to see that Aurora seemed awake; perhaps scones had provided her with some extra energy. “Good morning, Ms. Bay.” It was always lovely to see her in such good spirits, and it was certainly no surprise to see her take a spot with Idris and Paul.
SPOILER!!: Nathaniel!

Dhruv may have missed the yawn but they were certain they did not imagine the look of tiredness on Nathaniel's face. They had a feeling that the fifth year had been up last night, focusing on studies. "Good morning, Mr. Hensley." They gave him a keen look. "Remember to take breaks in between your studies for yourself. Power naps wouldn't hurt, provided they don't occur during any lesson, naturally."
It was that time when the lesson was to get started; so, using Wandless Magic, the door to the Arena was shut. Smiling, they moved around the desk and into the mix of desks, chairs and students - the latter of which they preferred the best. “Welcome to another Defense lesson,’’ they said, as always, genuinely pleased to be hosting one. “I know you must be curious about today’s topic but please, hold onto your patience just a little longer as we begin with the first question.” There was a hint of jest in Dhruv’s tone. “Magical or mundane creatures, which would you consider to be a nuisance to households? Why?”
OOC: Thank you for your posts! Feel free to have your character list one mundane creature or one magical creature or both! We’ll continue in about 24 hours! If you have questions, you may PM/VM or reach me on my socials {Facebook/IG} or Trillian if you have me!
Since the lesson has officially commenced, please do not announce the late arrival of any character. That is, unless you would like them to face any consequences
