Kay walked into the room and sat down at the front near Rae's desk. "Good day, Professor Rae," she said somewhat brightly.

Julia entered the DADA classroom close behind Kay as she did a James Bond roll. Rae didn't look too happy today. With a slight shrug, she took a seat next to her best friend in the front of the room. She took a moment to adjust her Bugs Bunny Cape, beamed at Kay, then began to take out her supplies for class.

Tails walked into the class and headed for a desk in the back.
"Good day mademoiselle. How are you??"
She sat and looked around.

Davina walked into the classroom excited for her next DADA class,basically one of the only classes she enjoyed.She walked past professor Rae and smiled before taking a seat in the second row.

Niky strolled into the classroom. She spotted Taylor and smiled. "Hey hunnie" she said setting her things beside her. "Where have you been hiding hmm?" she said then giggled. She took out her textbooks and got ready for class.

Tails nodded her head in Niky's direction.
"Hey Niky." She grinned. "I haven't being hiding anywhere. You recover from the acorn incident." She leaned back in her chair and bit her tongue to stop her from bursting out laughing.

Tag was relieved to see Tails had chosen a seat at the back. He'd succeeded in not having to speak to his two archnemesis for several weeks, even if that meant he had stooped to pretty pathetic methods of avoidance. Lucky for him, they both knew the professors well enough to want to sit up close to her.

He slipped into the free desk next to Tails, grinning at both her and Niky, and pulled something out of his pocket that he'd been wanting to show her.

Niky glared at Taylor momentarly. "Oh very funny" she said sarcastically. "I actually got a bruise from that!" she protested. She rolled her eyes and put her bag down. She smiled at the teacher at the front of the class briefly. "At least tell me you got something out of it.." she said more quietly.

Rae smiled at the students and gave a small wave. "Good morning. Let's wait just a few more minutes, and then we can get started. Make sure you have a quill, your parchment, and your wand please."

Ebony entered the class. "Hi Professor," she said and then looked around the room for a place to sit. She saw Davina and waved to her before taking a seat towards the front of the room.

Tails grinned again and noticed Tag out of the corner of her eye.
"See for yourself."
She got up and gave Tag a hug. She sat back down and got her things out like the professer had requested. She noticed that Tag had his hand in his pocket and pull it out again. There was something in his hand, but she couldn't see it properly.

Niyk almost died when Taylor got up to hug Tag. She looked ahead holding in the urge to giggle like an annoying little school girl. She took her wand out of her robe as the teacher requested and limitted herself not to look at Tag. She kept her ears wide open though, she wanted to hear everything.

Davina smiled and waved to Ebony before getting her quill,parchment and wand from her bag.She looked at the professor waiting for the class to start.

Tag noticed that the two girls were whispering to themselves, but he didn't mind. Girls were always being all secretive and giggly. He was about to poke Tails when she suddenly turned and hugged him 'hello'. Slightly surprised, Tag felt his ears grow hot. "Ummm. . . hey. Look what I've got!", he murmured in a low voice. Tag pulled his hand out of his pocket, gently holding a folded-up bat. "I caught him in the Great Hall the other day. Well, Jor actually caught him. With her hair. He's a bit worse for the wear, but I'm hoping he will fly again soon." He flashed Tails a grin, hoping she wasn't afraid of bats.

"There should be no chatter as we wait to start the class," Rae gave several tittering students a severe look. "I think we're very close to ready to start. Does everyone have their wand at the ready?"

Tails saw Tag pull a bat out of his pocket.
"Awwww, its so cute."
She reached out a hand and gave the little bat a scratch on the head.
"I hope he gets better too."
She smiled and looked at Tag. She looked to the front and then at Niky, smiled, and then began to twirl her wand.

Niky tried to get a peek at whatever Taylor and Tag were talking about, but she was interrupted when the teacher spoke. She immediatly sat up, grabbed her wand and stayed silent.

Ebony was excited about the lesson and couldn't wait to start. When the Professor Rae asked if they had their wands ready she pulled hers out. Then she nodded.

Davina looked at the wand in her hand."As ready as it could ever be professor"she said tightening her grip slightly.

"Always, Professor Rae," Kay said as she pulled out her wand. She had been trained by Rae to be constantly vigilant at all times.

"Excellent. Today I want us to focus once again on the scenario in which each of you may one day be placed... facing off against a Dark wizard or creature. As I'm sure you know, I'm a big proponent of keeping your head and wits about you in a fight, as well as thinking outside of the box to protect yourself and others. I want to talk about a different issue today... the one emotion that can keep you from thinking clearly and reacting promptly... any idea what it may be?"

Ebony raised her hand and said. "Could it be fear?"

Lia quickly got out some parchment and a quill, then took out her wand. When Professor Rae asked if they were ready, she nodded. Lia listened to the teacher, then raised her hand. "Fear would stop a person from thinking clearly," she answered.

Kay raised her hand because she had some experience in this matter. "Isn't it fear, Professor Rae? I know that fear can cloud your thinking when being placed in such a situation. Fear can make you question your moves and what action to take next, especially when every second counts when fighting a dark witch or wizard, or even a creature."
