Arya's mouth gaped open slightly at the new professor. Seriously? Was that really necessary? It wasn't as if he was doing anything terrible, not in Josh terms he wasn't. He was just being Josh. Sighs. What was up with all these new professors and their enjoyment of docking points?

"Arya Lovegoods." Her hand went up. "Sixth year Hufflepuff, and I have chosen to pursue defense at the NEWT level. I plan on studying creatures, and I'll need this class to do so. Also, to expand my knowledge of defense against the dark arts. To be better prepared should something terrible ever happen." Again.

There was no need to mention that she was a prefect, there was a nice shiny badge on her chest that did just that. Arya lowered her hand and glanced around at all the Puffs in the classroom briefly. Hopefully they would know to behave themselves.

Name-Willam Montcenaggio aka William Starr
Year-2nd.
Defenseat Nwt Level- NO until seventh year.

Already. Already more points lost. Ashley pressed his lips together and slumped down in the chair, straightening up again soon after. It was only then that he realized just how scary this professor was. Somehow he hadn't noticed, in the middle of his brief sulk.
He waited for an opportunity to answer, and once one appeared, he raised his hand, just in case, and said, "Ashley Moon. First year," with a small nod. Was he expected to answer that other part too? It wasn't as though he could, anyway. He had no idea.

30 points from Slytherin? Desiree mouth fell open slightly, how were they ever going to earn them back. When the Professor walked in she looked immediately to her feet. Her eyes went wide, so it was true. She shot a nervous glance at Zhenya.

She started talking and asked for everyone's name, trying to find her voice she raised her hand and replied "Desiree Remora" oh "I'm a First year" she added quickly.

She...she didn't hear the Professor, right? Certainly she didn't just hear her take away all those points, and from whom, Evelyn wasn't quite certain. She was sure Josh was one of them, but who was else? Marilyn? Or herself!? There wasn't much indication on just who else was in that little list the Professor apparently had, and gosh darnit, she wanted to burn it! That list was going dooooown.

Glancing up to her boyfriend who she was still trying to keep upright, Evelyn took a few rapid steps towards a desk so he didn't have to trip and fall ALL that much before sitting in one her own. She was in shock. Or was going into shock. Either way, she didn't feel good and that was a first in this class considering it was one of her more favorites regardless of the Professor. First Charms class was a disaster, and now they were starting off even worse in Defense class. Slytherins seriously needed a meeting, and she was going to make sure that happened whether they liked it or not.

However, the bright side to all of this was that she was rather certain she could remember this professor's name. Professor Glass. Yea, the only bright side. "Evelyn Flores, Professor. Seventh year." she said after raising her hand. Should she mention she was Head Girl too? Nah, she could see the badge, couldn't she? "And I've chosen to pursue Defense at a NEWT level, mostly because I'm not all that certain on what road to take regarding careers after I graduate. The more prepared I am, the greater number of opportunities and open doors could present themselves, not to mention it'd probably be wise to be knowledgeable in Defense if one would ever need to...defend themselves." As shown countless times in this oh so safe school.

Eh.

Uh-oh, she thought. More lost House points. Gladly, it was not from Ravenclaw. A perfect professor. One that she would most likely adore, this was Sarani Glass. Their DADA professor. She was terribly amazing, taking off points and acting as she'd never had done so.

The other students were seemingly feeling more nervous and scared with their teacher, but Beezus was feeling otherwise. When Prof. Glass asked them to introduce themselves, she rather felt excited. Waiting for her turn, she listened as some 7th year students cited all about their NEWT examination, and thinking that she would later be taking the same test.

When it was her turn, she stood right away and said in a formal tone, "Good day Professor Glass. My name is Beatrice Evangeline Castell. A first year Ravenclaw. I would love to take the NEWT exam but I reckon 7th year's are only allowed." She finished her sentence with a smile.

Olivia raised her hand. "Olivia Evans. I'm a first year." She wasn't sure what to expect about this class but she'd noticed a lot of students talking about it and how it was one of their favourite subjects so it couldn't be awful, could it? Anyway, she wanted to learn as much about magic and the different types so she would attend every lesson to make sure she got the best out of her education.

Alyssa waited for each student to stand up and introduce themselves to her and when it came to her turn, she stood up and introduced herself. "I'm Alyssa Potter, 2nd year transfer student from Salem. If my grades are good enough by the time I reach 7th year, I hope to pursue Defense at NEWT level, because I want to work at the Ministry of Magic as an Auror."

Aiden's jaw drops when the professor took away thirty points from Slytherin. Thirty bloody points! The dark haired girl starts to shiver again exactly as the one happened in the common room. Not the points... Put her in detention, just leave the house points alone!

As her turn comes, she tries to get a hold of herself momentarily. "A-Aiden Heartnett. S-Second year Slytherin," she pauses, taking a deep breath. "I'm planning to take the Defence till N.E.W.T level, though I h-haven't thought about my ambitions yet," if she's to become an auror, her parents are going to murder her first!

Rose was so glad that this professor wasn't going to put up with any funny business. She was always serious when it came to lessons. There is a time and place for messing aroud, but that was not in a classroom. She was stoked that she would be able to concentrate without the disruptions of other students. Rose beamed at the professor. My name is Isabella, but I prefer to go by Rose. This is my first year professor."

Jesifur looked worried. NEWT level DADA? Maybe she was in the wrong class. When it got to her turn for the introduction she timidly stood up.

"My name is Jesifur Hitchens, first year Hufflepuff and I am very interested in DADA. You did say NEWT level though and I am not sure if I am ready for that am I? Being a first year and all?"

She nervously sat back down and waited for a response hoping she wouldn't be thrown from the class. Looking around she saw other first years too.

Lysandra just sat there with her eyes wide.The professor just walked into the room and 30 more points were taken from Slytherin, Gryffindor as well, which made her feel a little better, though not by much. It was more points they didn't have! She sighed. Well, it seems no one can just shut up, take a seat and not do anything she thought. It's going to take forever to get those points back if we keep loosing them like this. Professor Glass then said to take turns in introducing themselves. When it was her turn she said I'm Lysandra Malfoy. 2nd year in a polite tone.

Thea's laughter had subsided as the professor had swept into the room. Cocking an eyebrow slightly, she quickly smoothed out her expression as they were each asked to introduce themselves.
Raising her hand, she held up her head. 'My name is Thea-Aurora Eden and I'm in my second year.' She paused.. she didn't really need DADA.. did she? 'I'm not sure if I'll be choosing this for my newts.. ' Another pause. 'As I would like to become a Healer.' She finished in a rush, wondering if this was a correct type of answer. Well she could hope.. and pray that she did not loose any house points. 30 points had been lost.. in one lesson.. Thea passed the back of her hand over her forehead. Then stopped. Why was she getting so flustered? Thea didn't act like this with anyone.. ever.

And so Slytherin lost more points, Kimalia's mouth was gaping in shock. The only good matter was that they weren't the only ones in the hole now. With great difficulty after the recent events she brought her smile back to respond to the Professor when it was her turn, "Kimalia Fanster, third year." Kimalia then wanted to be polite in welcoming her, since it was her first term teaching. "And well, welcome to Hogwarts Professor."

Alice couldn't believe how many points had already been taken from Slytherin.. Clearly this was NOT a good start to the year. She was going to do her best to try and earn back a few of those points. She was looking forward to continuing her DADA instructions. Alice raised her hand and spoke, "Hello Prof. Glass, my name is Alice Littlefield and I hope to continue Defense lesson up to N.E.W.T. level as I too, would like to become an Auror at the ministry."

Okay, sooo... apparently Professor Glass was the only one allowed to wear high heels in this class? A good thing to remember. Hateya sent Tori a sidelong 'eesh' look before raising her hand, "My name is Hateya Stern, and I'm in second year."

"Hello Professor Glass, My name is Maxwell. I am a first year and I would like to take this class at a NEWT level because i would like to be an Auror." Maxwell said respectfully and fairly confident in himself.

It was common knowledge that you were supposed to despise Fifth year. It was OWL year. And who liked taking those exams? But Ellie was disliking this year for the classes. Or, rather, the Professors. First, the Charms Professor was just....Awful, for lack of a better word. And now the Defense Professor was uber strict. Who was Ellie going to be able to go to for all her legitimate questions?

Hadley? Bentley?

Those were the only safe choices she could see.

But, right, her name. "'M Ellie." JUST Ellie. "Fifth year."

''Morning Proffeser Glass'' she half smiled at the teacher

Names? okay I suppose ''Luna Kieren 2nd year''

MJ raised her hand and answered the Professor. "Hello Professor Glass. My name is MJ. I'm a first year in Ravenclaw,"

'That is a lot of points lost already!' Jordan thought to himself. But that wasn't going to faze his mood. He had been looking forward to DADA for ages!
He smiled and spoke confidently, "I'm Jordan Macey, I'm in my first year." He was sure that he wasn't meant to answer the last question, so he didn't.

Aspen was totally embarrassed for the Slytherins, and ever moreso for the Gryffindors. Just... what were they thinking? In CLASS? Amazing.

She raised her hand. "Aspen Odessa, third year." Pause pause pause. "When the time comes, I definitely will. Defense Against the Dark Arts is useful in most fields, like Charms, so it's best to go ahead and take it." Keystone subject. And she had other reasons, more personal ones that wouldn't be spoke aloud.

Ariana Patiently waited for her turn.. Speaking in front of others was NOT her cup of butterbeer so she waited Till almost every went then she stood and introduced herself "Hello Professor Glass Im Ariana Logan First Year Slytherin & i will Not Be Pursuing NEWT this year." There, it was over Ariana Sat Down in her chair and waited for the next introduction

Good. Heavens. At the rate Gryffindor and Slytherin was moving they were going to have no chance of getting out of the negative numbers by the end of the term feast. Honestly, what in the world was going on? Waiting until it seemed like the right moment Adam decided to introduce himself to the teacher.

"I'm Adam Fitzgerald, I'm a fifth year, and I would like to pursue Defense Against the Dark Arts at a NEWT level because I find it to be both interesting as well as useful, and it is my ambition to become an Auror at the Ministry. I'm not sure if it's better to do that this year or wait until after I've taken my O.W.L.s though." Hopefully that was good enough for Professor Glass to see that he was interested in DADA.

Lana looked at the boy puzzled as he pulled out a chair. No one has ever done that. She smiled at the boy and said, "Thank you Ali. I'm Missa" and she sat down.

Lana heard a clicking of heels. That must be our professor.. she thought as she took a quick peak behind her. Yep, it definitely was..

She turned to both Ali and Zhenya, eyes widened with a bit of a frightened expression. come on Lana, she is only your professor. Lana looked around when the teacher took pints away from her house. Come ooon guys.

When it was Lana's turn for an introduction, she stood up and confidently said, "Hello Professor Glass. My name is Melania Warrington and this is my first year here." Although feeling a bit scared still, she thought that gave out the confidence she wanted. She didn't know what a NEWT was, so she didn't answer that question and hoped it was okay.
