DADA Lesson 1 Headmistress Rae-Branxton opened the door to her classroom and flicked her wand to open the windows. A gentle breeze brought in sounds from the grounds, but it was worth the slight distraction. Rae moved to sit on the front of her desk, waiting for her class to arrive. |
Faye walked into class and took a seat in the front row. "Hello, Professor, How are you? My name is Faye, I don't think we've met, I'm a fifth year Transfer from Canada." |
Alicia walked into the classroom. "Hello Professor," she said with a smile and a nod. The young Gryffindor took a seat in the middle of the classroom, taking out her wand, parchment, quill and ink- not really sure what she would need. |
Jenna walked into the class, a bit tired. She didn't get as much sleep as she should have--only about 7 hours or so. At her age, she should be getting nine. "Hello, Professor," she said, half-yawning. "How are you?" I hope I don't fall asleep in class, she thought. Never done that before. |
Aden entered the classroom, taking a seat near the back. Not seeing anyone he recognized, he pulled out his usual mystery novel and immersed himself in reading until the class began. |
"Alright, class. While we wait for the rest of your friends to arrive, I'd like for you to go ahead and get your quill and parchment ready. You should have your wand out and in good working order as well." |
Dani walked in,sat down,and stared taking notes. |

Kennedy entered the classroom just as Professor Rae-Branxton was giving instructions to have a quill and parchment ready. Taking a seat near the front of the class, Kennedy dropped her bag by her ankles and began pulling her supplies from it. She set up her desk neatly and gently laid her peacock-feather quill on top of her parchment. |
Jenna got out her stuff, including her wand, which she hadn't used in ages. The professor said it should be working well, so she tested her wand by using a spell she learned in Transfiguration. "Fabricia Lemon," she said, pointing her wand at her quill. Her quill turned into a lemon for a few seconds, then back into a quill. Works fine, she thought. |
Mallory entered the classroom and sat down in the third row. She took out her stuff to get prepared and waited for the class to start. |
Dani got bored so he said,"stringus wrapus."And soon his wand was wrapped in string. |
Faye unpacked her quills, inks, and parchment rolls, and pulled out her wand, examining it carefully. Satisfied she was ready for class, she sat and waited patiently for class to begin. |
AShley walked in took a seat and got out her parchment and quill. She took her wand out and held it out. Beautiful she said. She had used this wand for 5years so she knew she could rely on it. |
Tae walks in and takes a seat beside two gryffindor girls. He had heard her name was sarah. "Hey I am Tae." He says as he takes his seat. He pulled out some stuff so he could take notes, and his wand. He was excited for class to get started. |
Christian slipped into the class quickly. His face was sweaty, he had ran all the way down the stairs from the seventh floor. He quickly took and seat and took everything he needed out. His cat snoozed in the bottom of his bag, out of sight. He petted the cat softly and let it snooze away for the rest of the class. |
"Excellent. Now, I'd like to start the lesson today with a bit of history. My name is Headmistress Cassandra Rae-Branxton. You may call me Professor Rae. I don't know if you've heard of me... I've been out of the world and working here at Hogwarts for nearly 10 years now. Before I came to work here, I was an Auror, so you can believe I'm trained in the world of Defense. We can start, of course, with the object of this class. Defense... against the Dark Arts. And what, do you believe, are the Dark Arts?" |
Kennedy raised her hand and replied, " The Dark Arts differ from other forms of magic in the intent of the wizard using it. Most magic is relatively neutral. The Dark arts, however, are evil in its intention. Dakr spells are often intended to cause harm to another person. This intention to do harm places that spell into the realm of the Dark Arts." |
Emily made sure her quil nd parchment was out as well as her wand. She smiled and folded her hands on her desk. She lookedup at the professor as she began to talk about herself. She smiled and stayed quiet waiting for the real part of the class to begin. Dark Arts she thought trying to think. |
Mallory raised her hand "those Dark forces that may harm us, professor..." |
The dark arts is magic that is illegal or really bad." Ashley said under her breath not really knowing if that was the correct answer. |
"The Dark Arts are harmful spells that can be used in duels and other things. They are powerful if used by a Dark Wizard, someone who practices the DArk Arts." |
Faye ventured a guess, "The dark arts are a more frowned on kind of magic, even venturing into illegal magic, magic that hurts people, magic for personal gain, and magic that might be considered evil, with ill intentions. also, it deals with dark creatures, such as hinkypunks, dementors, and boggarts." |
Sam waited for the teachers response. Having his things ready he knew he was too late to put in his own reply. |
"Excellent. I can tell I have a bright group this term. Kennedy, your answer really encompasses the spirit of the Dark Arts. Magic that is intended for harm. There are some spells that are neutral that can be used for harm, but it takes a truly malevolent intention to do Dark magic. Five for Ravenclaw. Faye, thank you for mentioning Dark creatures. Five for Gryffindor." She flicked her wand and Kennedy's words appeared on the board. "I'd like to focus our class today on duelling and defensive spells. Afterall, the Duelling Arena is open, and I want us to use proper form and appropriate spells in there. Now... in your opinion, what is the most important spell necessary to defend yourself?" |
