Upon entering the arena, it may have been a familiar sight for those who attended the first defense against the dark arts lesson last term, though slight changes were taken. The arena was exceedingly dark, windows having been closed off with dark burgundy, almost black looking, drapes that hung from ceiling to floor. Deep purple colored mats were lined perfectly from one another in the middle of floor in rows of eight while a deep red mat sat in the front of them all where Professor Medea currently was lazily sitting upon. However, one could still find their way around the room, for scattered around the edges of the arena, far away from where they all would be sitting, were a great deal of candles, both lighting portions of the walls, floors, and ceiling itself in a rather ghostly glow fashion. Candles that floated in water surrounded with the stationary ones to light up the particularly extra shiny floor were flickering, while the ceiling was lit with an orange glow from the hovering candles, most commonly seen in the Great Hall. Don't worry though. No candle wax will be dripping to the floor.
In front of each mat is a parchment already shaped into a long triangle to be easily placed in front of you to read, exactly as how they were last term. What they are for, returning students may know, but for those who don't, fret not. The Professor will say what to do eventually. So please come in and become comfortable on one of the mats. Class will be starting shortly!
OOC: Class has officially begun! Please, don't post your character arriving late, or beware the consequences. ______Just jump in with the lesson as if they've been here the whole time.
Oichi made her way to class for her first DADA lesson. She felt so excited as she skipped down the halls and then turned the door into her classroom. When she saw the theset up her jaw dropped. It looked like a place for seance, not a place to kick but with a wand. She sighed as she walked past the professor, "Good day professor", Oichi said trying to stay atleast somewhat chipper as she took a seat on one of the mats. There she saw a triangle thing but she really did not care much about it. She just sat on her mat and imagined less dreary places cause this place is creeping her out.

Minerva almost skipped into class. She enjoyed the class last term and was excited that the same professor was back to teach again. She looked around to find some familiar faces and noticed Damon her smile got even bigger. As she walked in she turned toward the professor and smiled "Hello Professor, hope you are doing well. Will we be getting to do more yoga today?" she enjoyed the yoga last term it was fun.
Minerva then headed towards Damon, Taylor, and Maxwell. Giving them all a smile and a wave she found a mat near them and set her bag down. Pulling out her quill and parchment ready to take any notes she may need. Minerva got comfortable on the mat and waited patiently for class to begin.

Damon smiled at Minnie as she walked in. He reached over and wrapped her hand in his, "Hey you."
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

"Good day, professor," Kurumi said with a polite bow, as usual. Kurumi then made her way to the front of the room and tried to avoid eye contact with a certain Slytherin. He seemed to not want to look at her, so it was probably for the best if she didn't, right? That was how he wanted things, wasn't it. Thankfully, or not, Kurumi's attention was drawn to another Slytherin. "Daichi?" she whispered in a small voice. "Here, come sit by me." She even patted the empty mat next to her for emphasis.
Daichi turned his gaze away from the candles when he heard his name being called. It had been in a whisper but somehow he had heard it. Or had wanted to hear it? He wasn't sure but he automatically searched around the room to try and find if someone was looking at him. If they were then it must be that they called him right?
His eyes landed on Kurumi patting the empty mat next to her. Did she...want him to come over? He took it as a yes and with his wand still in his hand he shuffled towards her. As he sat down there was a small feeling of security inside of him. Kurumi knew about his fear and it made him feel a little better cause now he didn't have to lie and say he was fine and stuff. Like he usually did. "Th-thanks Kurumi..." he whispered and held his knees up to his chest as he sat with his arms wrapped around them.

Jory headed for DADA class. He was very much looking forward to the class. "Hello, Professor,'' the Puff said when he entered the room and spotted the Professor on a mat.
There were a few students there already, sitting on the purple mats. Jory chose one and made himself comfrtable.
Louisa walked into the arena with her bag hanging off her shoulder. She nodded and smiled at the professor, "Hello, professor," quickly moving to one of the mats laid down. It was hard to be around someone who knows your weakness point... no matter how nice and casual they seemed about it. Louisa Carter knew as much.
Slipping her bag's strand off her body, the Ravenclaw crossed her legs and plopped down on the purple mat beneath her. The atmosphere didn't hit her as strong like last term, professor Romanos seemed to be relaxed and calm surrounded by all those candles. Louisa, not so much, they gave her the urge to wave her wand and create a brilliant light source.

Lea was not impressed at all. When she was coming to the DADA class, she had been imagining a class which was full VERY dangerous and DARK stuff but this place was full of only mats and candles.
Heh...
Nose in the air, she walked into the class with the not-impressed-at-all expression on her face. ''Good day, professor.'' she said coldly as she passed by the woman to choose herself the best mat in the room, preferably away from Slytherins and boys. And, of course, Slytherin boys; those were the worst. When she was satisfied with the mat she had chosen, the dark haired little girl sat down and waited, narrowed eyes fixed on the professor.

After a moment or two, Ella remembered that she needed to fill out her parchment. Pulling it towards her, she pulled a quill out of her bag and began to write.

Zhenya walked into her first DADA lesson as a third year and was momentarily blown away. It looked incredible in here! She walked in with an amazed smile on her face and, not wanting to disturb the peaceful vibe she was getting, waved at Professor Medea with a bit smile. She took a seat near the middle of the class and closed her eyes for a moment.
With a little bit of difficulty, Furmgoat finally found his way into the classroom he'd been searching for. He'd been in this general area of the castle before, though some of the hallways were similar and often confused him.
Flapping his wonky wings he searched for the little person he was supposed to be delivering to before spotting what he knew to be it in the middle of the room. He swooped down onto the mat landing in front of the girl. His head tilted though as he released the letter from his claws and pushed it toward her.
"Hoo." Furmy stared for a moment before spreading his wings and shakily taking off again.

To Zhenya
Thank you for being my friend, my best friend. Honestly I’ve never meet a very nice person like you, Seriously. I’m so sorry for this two years if I disturb you too much. I hope you can be a cheerful, friendly and warm person. That’s Zhenya that I’ve ever know, even though I was not there beside you anymore, and I wonder if I could meet you again.
I’m sorry, I’ve broken my own promise. I really want to come to your house, meet your family and celebrate your birthday together. I really want to, but I can’t. They said I suffered a severe muggle disease called brain cancer and it’s really hard to explain to you what was that. But they said that.. I couldn’t live longer. But I hope it was a lie, I know I can cure from this illness. I’ll fight for it. If I can survive, I will go to Hogwarts again.
But at least, you could find another friend that will be better than me. A friend that never made you worry because she won’t faint in front of you, disturb you by her illness and always beside you. Well, though we’re far apart now, I hope I can still contact you by send owl. Remembered the present that I’ve sent to your house? I hope you like it. Don’t you mind if you will wear the bracelet for me?
Kennedy made his way to DADA with an apple in hand. He had barely managed to eat something before he realized he had another class. His appetite was back, so he ate as much as his stomach could hold and brought along a healthy snack. Before entering the classroom his finished his apple and clean his hands. He had manners, after all.
He entered the dim room and suddenly he felt sleepy. Kennedy was a boy that liked the light...and maybe eating all that food before arriving made him drowsy too. He shook his head and walked over to a mat and sat down, almost tempted to lie down and take a nap.
"Hello, Professor Romanos," he greeted. Kennedy wasn't going to sleep though, he enjoyed this class far too much to miss anything.

Violet was super excited to do Defense Against the Dark Arts again with Professor Ramanos. She always seemed to make the lessons fun and intriguing. Upon entering the classroom, Violet wasn't surprised that there were bright purple mats again lined up on the floor with a piece of parchment in front of each one. She had seen this last term and happily sat down on one of the mats. She took out a quill from her bag and wrote her name neatly on the parchment and then looked up to the professor.
"Hello Professor Romanos! It's lovely to see you again. Are we going to be doing yoga to warm up again?" Her favourite part had always been yoga because it made her mind relax before attempting to do any spells.

Gideon hadn't been certain he was going to continue in Defense against the Dark Arts, but he had decided to at least attend the first lesson to see about things. If anything his presence was support for his house getting credit for the lions. So there he was walking into the classroom and greeted with the familiar darkened candle-lit room from last term.
"Good day Professor," he greeted with a polite nod of his head as he approached the front of the room as she rested on her mat awaiting them all to arrive. The prefect then turning down one of the rows of mats, picking one and setting his bag down. Gideon soon followed, taking a seat on the mat he had chosen. Finding the parchment set in front, he took a quill from his bag and began filling it out like he was supposed to.

Gideon then placed it in front of himself and set his quill down next to some parchment from his supplies to prepare for the lesson. His legs folded indian-style as he settled in for now until they were to begin.

Minerva squeezed his hand. "Hey" she smiled then turned back to look at the professor. She was always afraid of getting into trouble in class so she didn't talk much. Then she remembered she had forgotten to place her name and information out. Oh no, she grabbed for her quill and wrote quickly so that she wouldn't forget again.

After meditating for a couple of minutes, Alyssa opened her eyes and noticed that more students and joined in. She smiled over at Minnie and Taylor and the other students they were sitting with. She then took out her quill and picking up the paper in front of her and writing on it.
Entering the arena, Isaac sat down on an empty mat crossing his long legs. Quickly he wrote his name on the name plate, then folded his hands in his lap waiting for the professor to start class.
Lewis stopped right outside the classroom as soon as he'd caught a glimpse of what was going on inside. Not that he could see much. Which was the main issue really. It wasn't that he was afraid of the dark okay maybe a little but rather that he thought that the way the candles were illuminating the room was a little...creepy. So he had somehow hoped that Professor Romanos would have changed her mind over the summer about how she liked to decorate her classroom.
Apparently not.
With a small groan the Hufflepuff Prefect finally did enter the classroom but could barely resist a second one when his eyes fell on the Yoga mats that had been set up instead of desks. Yeah, nothing had changed. "Good day, Professor." Lewis greeted the professor as he walked past her before quickly taking a seat on a nearby mat without really looking at who was next to him (ahem, Sierra). Not that he could've made them out so easily anyway what with it being considerably dark despite the candles.
But if he HAD looked around then he probably wouldn't have chosen that mat.
John sat on the mat with his legs crossed Indian style. He was amazed the amounts of candles floating around, he was observing them and kept imagining the crazy things he would do in the dark with floating candles. Just thoughts of course. John noticed his friend Kennedy sitting next to him and just kept looking around. He felt like a child in a new amusement park.
Sarassi walked into the easy classroom to get too and saw that there werent chairs but mats, she sat down. Sarassi reached into her bag and pulled out her blue sparkily pen and picked up the already folded triangle and wrote:

Nerida walked to the DADA classroom, wondering what they would learn today. As she entered she saw that there was no desks, seats, but instead there were mats. She saw her sister seated on one, and walked over to her, and said Hello Sarassi!
She said to the Professor Hello Professor Medea, how are you today?
She picked up the parchment in front of her and took out her quill and purple ink and wrote:

Vickers paused at the threshold of the DADA classroom to adjust his sight to the darkened room aglow with candle light. He was used to this now, the dimness, but he still eyed those mats with a clear dislike. Because it would always mean they have to do calisthenics stuff. Which would always mean he would end up pulling the wrong muscle or losing his balance.
Meh.
He selected a mat farthest from the Professor, preferring to have better vision and just relying on his seating buddies if he mishears anything. He spotted the triangular parchment then brought out his quill, scribbling his name quickly

Alex saw her friend Silvia come into the room and give a wave in her direction. With a smile, she gave a quick wave back. Then Alex decided that she had better fill out her parchment before class started. She took out her quill and began to write.
Narumi had gotten lost a couple times trying to find the classroom for Defence Against the Dark Arts but when she finally found it she was tired, and there werent any seats, but there were mats, perfect for sleeping laying on. She walked over to Nerida, a girl she had met in Diagon Alley also the one to buy her, her kitten Peanut! She saw Kurumi and waved hi oer to her. Looking at the parchment down in front of her she picked it up wondering what it was for. Still wondering she placed it on her head, and said Hello Professor. which ever one you were, Narumi still had some professor's names to learn-okay most of the professor's names to learn.
