She should bring it up with Professor Magnus? Which one was she? Or he? Well whoever he/she was, Seri had no idea which one it was. "Well things that look scary, or thins that are attacking you... Or innocent other people." Seri joked. She didn't know the answer exactly, but she was still going to guess.. Even if it was a bit of a joke. WHATEVER. |
SPOILER!!: Romanos His first reaction is to totally go deep thinking about this, be real profound and complete... but the Professor had them going about this the other way. "Uhm-- Trolls." he blurted out. Yeah absolutely no deep thinking there, problem is now he has to justify why he said so "We have to defend ourselves from them because...... they're quite offensive--to the senses." They're smelly, they're ugly, they're loud and stupid... good enough reasons right? |
SPOILER!!: Romanos How do you know what to defend yourself from? Ella frowned slightly. You would want to defend yourself from something or someone who aimed to harm you, yeah? Or anything that was known to be aggressive towards people? Like blast-ended skrewts *cough* meanies *cough* "Professor, you know to protect yourself from certain things based on the information you learn about them. For instance, we learn certain magical creatures can be dangerous so you'd know to be wary of them. One creature you might defend yourself from would be a grindylow." Which Ella had done a project on last term. Yup. She knew all about those little guys. Meep. |
How do you know? How do you know what to defend yourself from? Hmmm. Well, if someone was trying to hurt or harm you in any way, shape, or form, that would be an obvious answer. Or scary animals, for that matter. "Certain curses, spells, hexes, and dangerous creatures and people." That pretty much summed it all up. She wouldn't have to, probably, protect herself from those anytime soon though. I mean, she's only in her third year! But there are probably some people who would, ahem, potentially try to hurt her. Nothing serious though. Hopefully. |
Quote:
"You should defend yourself against anything or anyone who intentionally tries to harm you or others around you. It can't only be when you feel threatened, unless you know for sure that your opponent is or could be dangerous, because it may turn out that they were not a threat at all and it only seemed like it." She paused for a moment to think before adding, "So, with a few exceptions such as dark creatures, it really depends on the situation and a being's intent and actions towards you. It can be difficult to determine someone's or something's intentions, so you really need to be able to analyze the situation quickly." |
Answering the question and smooshing Louisa Quote:
Quote:
Beside her in the half-darkened room, Vivi listened as Louisa tensed up for her answer. They weren't friends, not really, but there was something very alone in her voice. It sucked more than anything to be alone in a group. Vivi un-ohhhhhhmed her hand and reached out in the dark to give Louisa's hand a comforting squeeze. "We don't know, Professor. We don't always know what to guard from, so I think the answer is everything. We should always be on guard." She couldn't find Louisa without looking, though, and Vivi made a blind grab, unsettled her precarious balance, and fell sideways out of her lotus and into the Head Girl. |
Quote:
"You have defend yourself from Nundus, Dementors and Lethifolds. They really deadly and can kill you very quickly." He wondered if it was possibly to really defend yourself against a Nundu. They seem invincible from what he read. |
What did Tag have to defend himself from? Well, evil things obviously. No. Dark things-because that's what the class was about. Silly teacher. But no seriously, think about the things a leprechaun would have to defend himself against. "I guess pain is the first sign that you need to defend yourself. Then again, I think you'd hope not to experience pain before knowing its bad." He tried to put himself in some scary situation in which he didn't know what was going on. What would he do to defend himself? Or how to know what to look for if he needed to defend himself. "Maybe if the danger is playing hide and seek with you then you should worry about defending yourself because something seems suspicious." |
Quote:
If this wasn't a dim-lit classroom with a creepy music and conversation about defense against something, Louisa's reaction might've been lighter. But since this was the case, the head girl yelped and started kicking with all her strength, her hand going for her wand and "PROTEGO!" You could actually hear the shield forming! "LUMOS!" She needed to see what kind of threat she was defending herself from, and thanks to everybody's answers, there seemed to be too many to count! Vivi. It was the president's daughter. |
Lulz Louisa and Vivi One minute Vickers was It was almost like he was hit himself, squeezing his eyes shut and reeling back from the sudden brightness. As he suddenly jerked away he may have hit somebody beside him-- he didnt know who of course-- and he cowered on his elbows and knees trying to shake off the stars that suddenly appeared in his vision. Grumble mumble "What was that all about?" |
Vivi and Louisa. ^_^ And answering the question. What was there to defend against? Why were these questions so broad. What were dark arts. What did you need to defend against. Why couldn't they be straight forward like "What do you do to fend off an attacker?" To which Jake might answer, "Poke them in the eye." And that would be so much easier than thinking of a profound, thought-out answer. So, he was about to answer, when a commotion to his side caught his attention. From what he could guess, that blonde girl had jumped the Head Girl, who had resorted to magic to get the blonde girl away from her. There was Jake's answer, then. "Women." He said loudly, pointing his arm straight out to point at the two girls. Yes. You needed to protect yourself from women. The reasoning behind his answer should have been obvious. |
Louisa and Jake Quote:
Vivi shoved off Louisa and tried to scramble back onto her mat and into her lotus position. It was a good thing the room was so dark, to hide the burning of her cheeks and the ugly glares being thrown in the general direction of the Head Girl and anyone who dared make a peep about this incident. Not actual glares at Louisa, considering Vivi was blind and all. Quote:
Of all the sexist, rude, idiotic things to say when a girl was just trying to ohm her way to self actualization and stuff... Vivi un-lotused again, whipped off the tennis shoe that was making the position so uncomfortable anyway, and chucked it at the boy in question. "Merlin defend me from... from Gryffindors!" |
Quote:
She really didn’t like this Lotus position. She wasn’t doing it right anyway, but just sitting on these mats was uncomfortable in itself. The professor asked what they already knew about the dark arts, and she realized she knew very little. Her first reaction was to say, “Not much” but she doubted that would be sufficient. She thought on it and said, “Well…I know that they are usually bad. Or used to do negative things.” That seemed right. Quote:
She heard a lot of similar answers to her own so she must’ve been on the right track. Several students seemed a little conflicted about the dark arts. Some even sounded like they didn’t necessarily think they were bad; She wondered why they felt that way. “I don’t see what good can really come from anything related to dark magic,” she thought to herself. Eliza shifted her weight a bit and rolled her head from side to side. Now her neck was starting to get sore. She hoped they would be able to change positions soon. “How do we know what to defend against?” She was puzzled. It seemed obvious, wasn’t it? A vivid picture of another wizard coming at her with their wand pointed came to mind. She shook it from her mind and tried to think outside of the box. She raised her hand and said her next idea a bit sheepishly, but curious to hear if she was right or not, “Things that are clearly going to cause you harm of course, like a dementor or…or a monster that’s chasing you…” she cleared her throat. “But there could be things you don’t even know are dark until it’s too late,” she said - thinking particularly of some of the cursed items she’d heard existed in Knockturn Alley. “But I guess those would be hard to defend against. I mean…there must be a way though. Isn’t there?” |
Catching up Sophie just sat there during the first question. She was about to give an answer of her own, she even raised her hand but quickly lowered it when she remembered the instructions professor Romanos had just given them. They weren't supposed to reply the way they would normally do, right? Not say the very first thing that came to their minds and all... Merlin, that was difficult! The badger decided to just listen as the others spoke. Hm... okay... those were basically the things she thought about Dark Arts. Except Theo's answer, that made Sophie giggle quietly. Dark paints... hehehehehe! Anywho, they were already moving on to a new question! Sophie was going to try and answer this one now! "Um... I reckon we have to defend ourselves from things that will hurt us in any way." She refrained herself from glaring at Elliot and Hannah. Yeah, she still needed to learn and defend herself from those two nasty girls! Wait, that was pretty much the first thing that came to her mind... the third year frowned slightly, thinking about something else. "Uh... by 'defending' ourselves I don't mean just using spells and this kind of thing... it doesn't have to be a magic-related defense. We can protect ourselves, for example, just by avoiding places, creatures and... people." Made sense, yeah? She'd have to avoid Elliot and Hannah A LOT this term... and for the rest of her life, if possible. |
A lot of these answers she agree with herself. Some were obvious, others a little more thought out, but whatever the case, each were correct in some way. There truly wasn't just one single list indicating what they should and shouldn't protect themselves from. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
"Miss Cambridge, there will be no name calling in my class. The Headmistress should and will be respected." Not insulted. Though Medea said nothing about the suggestions of the charms professor. For all she knew, they definitely should defend themselves against Sophia. Psychotic woman. SPOILER!!: First Chaos Just as a few answers before her, this was mostly what Medea was looking for. One should always be on their guard, especially in times when uncertainty was at it's greatest. It was tough luck for those who were too trusting. Herself included sometimes. "Yes, Miss Branxton-" She saw movement, and then heard a squeak and shield charm, but nothing prepared her for the blinding light shining in the room. Raising her hand to semi-shield her eyes, Medea squinted, trying to see who had created the eye burning substance of doom in this darkly lit setting. "Miss...Carter, please put out the light and lower your wand." SPOILER!!: Second Chaos She had white spots in her vision now. Rubbing her eyes, she blinked as her gaze adjusted once again to the setting. Her ears were working just fine however. While the simple answer was actually funny in her opinion "Miss Branxton! I do not know vot the rules were at your previous school, but we do not throw belongings at one another here. Two points vill be taken from Ravenclaw." Merlin, her normal accent was slipping. They could yell at each-other all they wanted, but Medea was putting her foot down when belongings were being thrown. Now...where were they again? |
Quote:
O__O There were both overreacting if you asked her. Then she heard someone mention needing protection against women? Really? Vivi didn't seem to agree with that which showed quite obviously when she lashed out and of course Lex agreed fully--until she said that last part. "Heeyy! Gryffindors are not bad! You should be more gender specific like he was!" If she was going to try getting back at him she might as well had played the same card. Quote:
"But...but..." The woman really was psychotic, in fact they both were!!!! It wasn't name calling if it was true...right? It couldn't be because in that case it would be stating a fact; a very true fact that the professor seemed willing to overlook in the name of respect. Ugh. Why did everyone seem to love throwing that word around anyway? Wait a minute...wasn't she going to correct her about the Charms Professor...? Alexa did say that they were BOTH psychotic so why only get scolded for one? See, this was why she thought adults were weird. --- Such a shame...Vivi had cost her house two points. This Professor meant business; though it was just a shoe...it couldn't have done that much damage... |
Quote:
And what was wrong with jogging? Jogging was good for you. It was. It kept you fit. It wasn't a punishment at all. Yoga was. Jogging not so much. And he might even mix it up with star jumps. West looked over at Vivi when she lost points and he wanted to say 'ha ha' not because it was funny, but because it sort of felt like the sort of thing you were supposed to say when someone that wasn't in your house lost points. And naturally, like the Odessa that he was, he started wondering; If we don't throw belongings, what about things that DIDN'T belong? Non-belongings? Lost things? Could you, in theory, go get the lost and found box, and bring that in here, and start chucking the contents at whichever Gryffindor happened to bother you most? West was fairly sure that, as a Slytherin, he was supposed to be more bothered by what Sierra called 'puffers', and as a Quidditch player, he was supposed to be up in arms about Ravenclaws. Really, he'd have to figure out which of the three other houses he should throw non-belongings at before experimenting. Jogjogjogjogjog. |
Because really, we do need to comment on the boyfriend getting a shoe to the face. XD Anya, who in such an excellent yoga manner, had managed to block out the rest of the lesson. And it really wasn't her fault seeing she was so brilliant at yoga and the classroom was practically begging her to fall asleep. But one of her eyes popped open when she heard Jake. Good. He should be scared of And yes, she was going to interpret his answer as he was scared of women. She then tilted her head to the side a little as some older girl she'd never met tossed a shoe at him. Heh. Did it make her a bad girlfriend that her first reaction was how she could use that to her advantage later? And was it worse that she was SO tempted to raise her hand and add flying shoes to the list of things they needed to defend against. Too bad she was really far too lazy to do any of those things. Maybe she should have asked to jog like the snakey was doing. |
Holy Harry Potter! For the first time, Sutton was truly beginning to understand how In a matter of moments, it seemed, there had been magic used against a student who had launched herself at a one of her peers, though Sutton was fairly certain that the magic hadn't actually served its intended purpose. And then a girl was throwing a shoe at a boy who had made some remark about needing to defend himself against women. With a bit of a smirk, Sutton couldn't help but think to herself that this boy was probably the smartest in the whole class. Obviously, he did need to defend himself against women... seeing as how one had just chucked a shoe at his head. Sutton had a feeling that perhaps this boy had his fair sure of problems with women. Raising her hand with a smile on her face, Sutton said, "Professor, I'd like to amend my answer and add that I think we should also defend ourselves against our own negative impulses." Which was clearly evident in this classroom right now. |
Text Cut: Vivi & Jake & Professor WELP. Can you say awkward? Louisa nox'ed her wand, feeling her cheeks slightly warm, "Yes. Sorry." That was to the professor and to Vivi's silhouette. Was she looking at her? Louisa couldn't tell, and it wasn't her fault that she was jumpy! Romanos HAD to set such a perfect creepy atmosphere for them, it was all the professor's fault. Right. That felt much better. Now the Ravenclaw just fumbled on her spot and tried to re-assume her lotus position. Merlin she was still a little shaken, see her paranoia was taking the best of her. She should see professor Lafay about that again. When someone answered with "women",the Ravenclaw frowned and opened her mouth to say something but Vivi beat her and threw something at him. That... was a very impulsive act. Louisa grinned in the dark and was about to voice out her support but Romanos' voice shut her up. She stayed still until the two points were taken from them. Should she say something? Instead of... just sitting in awkward silence? Louisa made sure the students started answering again when she cleared her throat and whispered, "Good cause, though." Pause. "Two points are nothing." Ya know, in case Vivi felt bad for it, which was unlikely, Louisa thought but getting addressed in the middle of your first DADA class was ...uncomfortable? |
Kurumi had, er, somewhat dozed off during the initial flailing that had gone on, but the sudden burst of light had snapped her back to an upright position and one of her hands went to rub her eyes. What was going on? Only then there was a shoe flying in front of her face and SMACKing into one of her fellow Gryffindors followed by Vivi's voice saying that she needed to be protected from Gryffindors. .....huh? For once, which shocked Kurumi, she was agreeing with the first year troublemaker and was even nodding her head. Actually...if they were voicing what houses they needed protecting from, Kurumi could use it from... "Ravenclaw females," she muttered under her breath. It always seemed to be them that had something against her - minus Sierra who wasn't a Ravenclaw by any stretch of the imagination. At least Ellie had graduated now, so her daggers for eyes were one less thing she had to look out for. |
Cassia nodded at the Professor answering the question. In her mind she told herself NOT to relax too much in order not to fall asleep! Because they had to answer questions not shut their brain off like Cassia thought they were doing. Well, it was good she had asked. Falling asleep would have so embarrassing. And she actually wondered how other students didn't feel like her. You know except for West who was jogging. Cassia wondered how long will he last jogging like that. He is a Chaser after all so he surely had strength but still. HOWEVER! Cassia was jerked awake when a light went on and two Ravenclaws fall into each other or something!? Oh did that Eagle just throw a shoe at that Lion. Wow! What happened to concentration and stuff? And minus two points for Ravenclaw. Hehe. Cassia was actually grateful for the couple minutes of light. Thanks to Loza the Ravenclaw Head Girl. It reminded Cassia that they were still at the classroom. The uneasiness she was feeling because of the dark was going away. Thank you daughter's of governor for falling on the HG. And Back to the Lotus position. |
Cora knew it. This class was dangerous. She could barely see everything by the light of the candles, and it made her nervous. Besides that, now things were being thrown. Getting out of Lotus position, which was NOT a relaxing position, she brought her knees to her chest and rested them there. She hoped the professor wouldn't mind. And anyway there was more for her to deal with than a girl who was no longer in a pose. Cora took this opportunity to be glad she was so invisible most of the time, to stay out of harm's way and to avoid a reprimand from the professor. She heard a girl mutter "Ravenclaw females" under her breath, and Cora wanted to reassure her that not ALL Ravenclaw girls were bad. But she didn't say anything. |
Quote:
But her attention snapped back to Professor as she took two points away. Oh yeah, two points, sooo bad. Honestly, was that going to make a difference? Maybe in the long run, but Elliot was so thankful it wasn't more. She shot a glance at Cora..."This doesn't normally happen..." which was somewhat a lie, because weird things often did happen...in class. |
Merlin's beard. What on earth was going on in this class, anyway? Ella had enough trouble trying to concentrate when she was also focusing on ...Oh, and the women comment? Ella frowned for a second before really considering this. It wasn't entirely false. Women could definitely be scary...and powerful...and just as strong and smart as men. Heh. Yeah! Guys should totally fear women. Grin. |
*catches up* Romanos, Vivi, Jake && Louisa all with mentions When the Professor had announced they would be doing yoga, Elijah was EXCITED! He did yoga all the time! It helped keep him fit, flexible and gorgeous. Where did ya think all these MANLY muscles came from? And this was a refresher? He shouldn't have skipped DADA so much in the past if they did yoga regularly. He took his perfected lotus pose and closed his eyes, his hands resting loosely at his knees as he took deep breaths innnnn and outttt andddd... What? The woman was TALKING!? She was totally trashing his feeling of zen. HMPH. Then all of his classmates began SHOUTING out their answers. THIS. WAS. NOT. YOGA. It took all of his strength not to sshhhhhhh them all before trying to reach a sense of peace once again in his lotus position. However, it hadn't been all of FIVE seconds before the Head Girl and that girl with the white granny hair were attacking each other. Oh, and then the granny girl CHUCKED something at that boy... OH GOOD. Nice of you to step in Professor. SIGH. This was not how he had expected this YOGA lesson to go. "I guess one way of knowing who to defend ourselves from are people who fear YOGA," he said with some bitterness. He hadn't minded trading in DADA lessons for yoga, but they weren't really doing EITHER. Yoga had NOTHING to do with DADA and Romanos was RUINING it for him, anyway. If his theory was true, though, he did notice that West wasn't doing yoga. Maybe that was because he was a vampire... Maybe his answer was correct and there WAS some connection between the two fields of study? |
Catching Up! :D SPOILER!!: Professor Yoga again. Sigh. She felt like a fool when she did yoga. She listened to the professor and was a bit confused when she told them about forgetting the first thing that came to their mind. How would she really know that they gave her the second answer and not the first? Could she read minds or something? Hmmm... Hannah would have to test out this theory sometime. She nodded at the professor to show that she understood...sorta! SPOILER!!: Cora & Elliot Hannah nodded at her friend Elliot so that she knew that she would meet her there, but she wasn't going to say anything for the risk of getting in trouble. She was interested to see what Elliot had to talk about. It was usually juicy. She looked over at Cora and gave her a half smile, half smirk. She knew that the girl was intimidated by her and that was a good thing. Still, Hannah was going to give her a chance. Might actually be nice to have a few more friends. She will just have to see how this goes. Marcos would be so proud of her...giving people chances and all. She wouldn't make it a habit though. SPOILER!!: 1st question Hannah still rreally wondered how she would know if they changed her answer, but she kept it to herself for the time being. Maybe she would bring it up to Elliot later. Hmmm....what does Hannah know about the dark arts, and it can't be the first thing that comes to her mind... which was a good thing because honestly the first thing that came to her mind was that they were dark, and well that was a stupid answer. She raised her hand "Professor the dark arts are used for malicious intent." There that was definitely not her first answer. SPOILER!!: 2nd Question Hmmm....that was a good question. Many things cam to her mind. "Professor I think you can know when you are in danger because you get goosebumps and just feel your hair raise, but that doesn't mean that you know what you are up aganist and how to defend yourself is in the grey area I think." she said with a raised hand. She hoped that made sense. |
Quote:
BWAH HAHA! You go, PRESIDENT GIRL! Now that was an awesome scene to watch. Somebody annoying you? No big deal. Just give them a shoe to the head right smack in the middle of class. Quote:
Sierra perked up. You mean...she could chuck a whole shoe at somebody's head, and it'd only cost her TWO POINTS!? Heck yeah! She looked around the room, wondering which Puffers could take a shoe to the head for the cheap price of TWO POINTS. |
Some Beezus too... Richard smiled when the girl recognized him. He eyed her a bit before pushing his school bag away with a foot and sitting down on the mat. Of course, at first he was not happy about the fact that he needed to sit in this 'lotus' position as it looked ridiculous, very ridiculous. But when he did it, he realised that it was not so bad at all. At least he felt comfortable and since everyone was in the same position no one could laugh at him. If one dared to laugh at him, anyway, Rich would so hex their head off so he was safe. Sitting in this lotus positiom, the boy silently listened to the professor woman even though he really was feeling like interacting with the Ravenclaw girl he was sitting next to as his curiosity about what this class was going to be about was stronger than the urge to flirt her. This was an important topic anyway and the boy was glad when it turned out that the class was really about what it was supposed to be about. And, to be honest, the way the woman thought impressed him pretty much. What she had asked them to do about their thoughts was not only interesting but also very smart. When she asked the last question, Rich thought over it a bit even though he very well knew the answer for the question. He was not supposed to say what he had thought first, after all. He was thinking that he was supposed to protect himself from what would cause him a loss in a way, physically, mentally, emotionally...a loss in any way. He pushed the idea away into a corner in his mind before thinking of a new one to speak out. ''What about 'the unknown', professor?'' he finally said ''People are afraid of the unknown. And we cannot know if they are dangerous as, well, it is unknown. Defending ourselves from the unknown is a smart thing to do. If you know enough about an extremely dangerous thing, you can easily defend yourself against it.'' |
This class is crazy XD Text Cut: Professor and all of the violence Ashten's legs were now completely numb from the lack of blood circulation. He no longer cared about reviving them, though he feared the pins and needles that will surely agonize his legs once he has to move. As the Professor asked them what they should be defending themselves from, and something else, Ashten closed his eyes and tried to think. The first thought that came to his mind was why they had to be sitting in these darn yoga positions. Chuckling to himself, he thought harder for his second answer, which was what Professor Romanos wanted in the first place, right? Text Cut: VICKERS However, his ideas of protection via spells and charms was dispelled by some students in front of him. He heard a loud squeal from a girl, the thud of some object making contact with a head, and then someone shouted a shield charm. By then, the fifth-year had opened his eyes and looked around, which definitely was a bad idea considering what came next. The blinding flash of light was too much, especially in the ridiculously dim light of the classroom. "AGGGHH!" he yelled, clutching his eyes with his hands and suddenly falling to his side as who he thought was Vickers crashed into him. Moaning, he tried to sit back up. His legs were still in the Lotus position, and he did not want to deal with pins and needles twice. With a grunt, he pushed himself upright, maintaining the Lotus position. He rubbed his eyes and then rubbed his side. "Hey mate," he said to Vickers, rubbing his side still. Quote:
"Professor," he said, after a few minutes. "We'd certainly need to defend ourselves from the spontaneity of life." He emphasized spontaneity. "But since this class is called Defense Against the Dark Arts, I s'pose we should primarily focus on defending ourselves from. . . well. . . Dark Arts. Curses and such, right?" He shrugged. This class was weird. |
Text Cut: Vivi and Professor Okay. If it hadn't been so dark, Jake would have definitely seen the object flying toward his head. But - and yes, he was blaming it fully on the limited lighting - the thing ended up smacking him right on the temple. And Jake toppled over, his legs still tangled in the lotus position. He yelped, flailing his legs until they untangled, and sat up in a huff. "A shoe?!" He glared at the blonde girl that was yelling about Gryffindors. She had NO right to talk. "See?! Crazy women!" She only proved his point. And she only got two points deducted. How unfair. Jake could have lost an eye! That was worth more than two points. Grumbling to himself, he re-lotused, rubbing the side of his head. He'd keep an eye out for Crazy Blonde Ravenclaw Girl. Oh yes, he would. |
Just what in Merlin's trousers was happening there?! WOAH. Rewind, rewind. What's with the flying shoe? And dang! Two points from Ravenclaw? Psshhh. And to think they were still in the negatives! Moreover, it was the new eagle who had cost them to lose it. Gosh, they didn't need anymore demerits if they needed reminding. She was so not going to do something as reckless. She really had to chuck a shoe at whoever that Gryffindor was during a class, in front of a Professor when she could do it quietly after? Rubbing her nape, Beezus sighed and merely observed as the commotion ensued. UHM. Eagle control Head Girl Louisa? |
Penelope was pretty focused on trying to think of an answer that wasn't the first one that popped into her head, and then, suddenly, chaos ensued. There were squeaks and yells and bright lights - and shoes being thrown? Right at...Jake. Heh. Penelope tried to hold back the laugh sparked by his reaction - and that that Ravenclaw had thrown a shoe at him in the first place - but a tiny laugh or giggle might've escaped her. It was soft though, so maybe Jake didn't hear it. Or anyone else. But anyway. Back to the lesson... What was the question again? Penelope couldn't remember. So she just sat quietly and waited for the next one. |
Reactioning Quote:
But when she took a deep breath... and another... and another, Vivi had a second impulse. "Sorry, Professor. Sorry... Gryffindor boy. I apologize for disrupting class and smooshing Louisa and throwing my shoe." Deeeeeep breathing. No good getting angry and upset just because she'd lost points in the one class she needed to do well in. Quote:
Quote:
Plus she was just as injured and hadn't gotten mad. Girl had some class. "S'okay. Just wish it hadn't happened in front of Romanos." Vivi was distinctly unlotusy, with slumped shoulders and her elbows on her knees. No. No moping! She straightened out her form and closed her eyes, her arms going flat against her legs. Ohm v2.0. Quote:
"Can I have my shoe back, please?" Since she'd already said sorry and all. |
Aw yes, she was going to make sure Jacob was alright. Seeing as though the first words from his mouth weren't pain related, he was just fine. "Technically, you started that, Mister Keller." she said as if it were obvious, expression plainly clear that he shouldn't be whining about it. With Genevieve's apology though, Medea relaxed a little. "Best to just move forward." Yes, it was time to move on. "Now if we can all settle down, we can get through the rest of the period quickly." Readjusting her position as a few more people answered, she gave a nod to each. "Yes, each of you are correct, general opinion of women and gryffindors aside." Her bringing it up did not give the green light to argue about it. It could be done after the lesson. She was eyeing all of you! "Some a little more obvious than others, but that is good. I'm glad to know you'll defend yourselves against trolls and spells. However, as a few of you have mentioned, some are not so easily recognizable, especially when the danger comes from our own impulses." Someone here had mentioned negative impulses, correct? "But, that is indeed life. When it comes down to it, it is best to listen to your instincts. Your guard should be on it's highest during those times." Glancing from one student to the other, Medea moved into a new position. "This one's a killer. I'd like you all to move into the boat position." The student's favorite position, yes? "Speaking of impulses, what makes someone a dark witch or wizard? Who are some well known, or perhaps not so well known at all, people that have been labeled as 'dark'?" Boat Position |
Laura looked at the Professor as she got into the Boat Position and then thought about the question. "Well Albus Dumbledore was one wasn't he." Her first answer had be Tom Riddle but she had done what the Professor had asked. "And what makes a person a master in the dark arts, well they act all friendly and act like so normal you don't realise it is them and then there is the fact that the go boo in the night." Laura suddenly realised something. "Are Owls dark creatures? They only come out a night." |
SPOILER!!: Professsssor! Crud. Elliot HATED this one. For one thing, she wasn't very flexible. For another...it hurt after awhile...maybe she would jog like that little snake kid. It didn't seem nearly as hard..but Elliot didn't want to get all sweaty... She rolled onto her back, rather gracefully, too, and lifted her arms and legs into the air, like Professor Romanos was showing them...ouch ouch OUCH! It hurt already...Elliot took a deep breath, trying to focus on her question. What made a dark wizard? it sounded like the question they just answered! Whatever. "Well, a dark magical person is someone, well, involved in the dark arts...in the negative way..." she spit out, without thinking. Ooops. She had forgotten to do whole 'think of another answer thing.' Famous dark wizards...Voldemort. But that would be the most obvious...She raised her hand..."Grindewold, right?" Right. Though the was the second most common, she knew that...oh well..and what was with Laura saying Dumbledore?! Elliot shot her a glare...weird.... |
Sarah watched the professor. Oww, not this one! She laid down and lifted her legs up, tried to stretch her hands and, oops! Her legs landed with a thud to the ground. She groaned. Determined, Sarah did the formation again. This time, slowly and carefully. She was in the position for a while and then she thought of professor's question. She broke from the formation and answered. "A dark wizard is the one who practices dark arts, has a passion for it. As if they love the thing" She couldn't accept the fact that people fascinated Dark Arts. She'd read about some of the most powerful dark wizards of all times. "There's Herpo the Foul" she said. "He's known for...uhm.." she tried to remember, "-ah yes, first wizard to create a horcrux" she said. Sarah shuddered to think of how one could make a horcrux. It was...erghh! |
Jory didn't like the bot position one bit. But he did it anyway, trying to imitate the Professor as best as possible.While fixing himself into the position, he thought of an answer to the question. "A "dark" person is someone who uses magic to harm others,'' he said. "Though sometimes someone causing the harm can be under the influence of the Imperius Curse. One dark wizard was Bellatrix Lestrange.'' The woman who tortured two Aurors to insanity. |
Mentioning Elliot and Hannah also >:) What was this??? It seemed like everytime there was a big commotion in classes it was the older students fault! It impressed Sophie the way they could be so loud and... crazy! That girl even chucked a SHOE at the Gryffindor boy. Merlin! Sophie was glad they had decided to calm down and professor Romanos was already moving on. But oh no... the boat position... ugh! She lifted her legs and as soon as she got in that freaky boat position, her body started to shake. Struggling to stay on that position and to think of something else to reply - because it couldn't be the first thing that popped into her mind, right? - it took Sophie a little while to speak up. "Th-the thing that makes someone D-Dark is when they do evil magic all the time to..." Wait, no. That was the first thing that came into her mind! "I mean..." The fact that her whole body was shaking was also NOT helping! Oh well. "Grindiwa.... G-Grindelwald was a Dark Wi-zard, p-professor." Oooooooof! Sophie dropped her legs and head on the mat and took a deep breath. "He was evil because he wanted to be really powerful. He hated Muggles and killed them." The third year resisted the urge to glare at Elliot and Hannah. SEE! Hating on Muggles made you a DARK Witch or Wizard! Sophie even sat up straight before continuing. "He also killed magical people, but he really hated Muggles." Sophie's opinion, y'all. "We have to be careful not to hate on people so much, because that can lead us in a very bad path." THERE! She said it. Hmph! EEVIILL!!! Then she realised she was not in the boat position anymore. Woops. Taking another deep breath, Sophie lifted her legs once again and tried her best to stay like that until professor Romanos told them to do something else. Uuuuuuugh ugh ugh uuuugh!! |
Text Cut: Prof.Romanos Still in her Lotus position Cassia watched the students reacting! Well, it sounded that the situation hadn't quite ended with the shoe chucked and so as the one who got a shoe thrown at him seemed to object. Well, he had the right Cassia guessed though he seemed to drop it and was satisfied with just muttering under his breath. Cassia had a feeling that if that Ravenclaw threw a shoe at a fellow Snake.....it would be totally different, just saying. And then Professor Romanos spoke up again and seemed to end the thing. Yeah ,good idea to continue the lesson actually. So the next position was the boat position ,huh? Well, that particular one was fun. Cassia grinned and untangled her legs from the lotus position. She spread her legs before her and then placed her hands under her knees. And the boat position! With her short legs pulled up Cassia started to swing them a bit. Why? Because it sounded fun. But then the professor asked a question. Cassia fixed her legs and listened to the question. Dark wizards. Well, obviously a dark wizard is the one who practices the dark arts. So her answer should be different. Hmm.... "A dark wizard is one who teaches defense against the dark arts," Cassia answered absent-mindedly. The second-year only payed attention to what she said when the words were out of her mouth. Well, in that case Professor Romanos is categorized with dark wizards. Hehee. Example given! The woman does realize that they are supposed to give the wrong answer right? Hopefully ,she still has that in mind. |
SPOILER!!: Professor Romanos Alyssa slower moved her legs out of the lotus position and moved around until she was sitting on her bottom holding up her legs at an angle until she had moved into the boat position. As she did so, she thought about the answer to Professor Romanos' question. 'Dump the first answer that comes to your mind and answer with another.' Alyssa reminded herself. Raising her hand before quickly putting it back into place to hold her legs, Alyssa answered. "Professor, a dark witch or wizard is someone who uses magic for malicious intent. They turn what is usually used for good and make it evil. They show no remorse if anyone gets hurt or killed in the process." "An example of one whom many people considered a dark wizard would be Amycus Carrow. He tortured almost all of his Defense against the Dark Arts Students when he was their Professor at Hogwarts." |
Text Cut: Professor Romanos Quickly? Kendall had barely gotten any time to try to not focus on her own problems and to focus on DADA and yoga, and now Professor Romanos was saying they were going to try and finish the lesson quickly? Maybe she'd have to try and do the yoga again up in the common room, or even better, the dorm. At least there she'd have a bit more privacy to try and get momentary peace from confusion. She was still going to try and focus on whatever was left of the lesson, even if she was half-hoping more chaos happened just so it dragged class on. Especially as the fact the professor had gone on to talk about impulses and following instincts only made her think about other things again. DADA please, she thought. Anything to get her to focus on something other than her instincts right now, which was what they were supposed to be doing, wasn't it? Not giving the first answer that came to their head, which was sort of going against instincts. First she had to figure out how to move into the boat position without kicking anyone, stretching her legs out in front of herself like she'd done before and sort of folding her body in half like had been demonstrated. Hopefully she'd be excused for not raising her hand to answer the question, because right now the only time her hands were leaving her legs was to keep herself from falling over sideways into Beezus or whoever was on her opposite side. So far she was wobbly but still staying upright. At least she wouldn't hurt anyone in her sock feet. "A dark wizard is made by the desire for power no matter how they get it. Or the desire to follow somebody who has that power or seems like they do. And they don't worry about killing people or guilt or anything like that," she answered. Maybe they just ignored it, or maybe the dark magic just made it all vanish. And she'd turned her head slightly as someone had men tioned Bellatrix Lestrange. "What about Tom Riddle? Voldemort? He was obviously a dark wizard," she blurted out. Even though she'd actually thought about the other Lestranges first. |
Haha. Jackob got a shoe thrown at his head. Tag hadn't really been paying any attention to whatever was happening for that to happen to Jackob, he didn't really care though. All that mattered was that it did happen. An that Jackob was getting some physical pain a lot lately. Good. What in the world was that? How was that a boat?! Tag imagined a boat in his mind and never found a boat to look like all its weight was on a center point. No, this was some magical boat. He tried to center all of his weight onto his bum, as he liked to call it.Lift his legs up above him while having his arms stretched out in front of him. This was weird. He couldn't find any balance to himself so he would just roll over about five times. In the end he just decided he'd tuck his hands beneath his back and lay nearly flat, though he lifted his head a bit and his feet a few inches off the ground, off the floor. There, at least he was doing it now. Now he was expected to talk while keeping his balance! This lady was crazy involving a workout into class time. With some great huffing and trying to gather up his breath while keeping his stomach tight Tag started " Their intentions make them dark. If they have no remorse for creating some evil act then they don't see it as wrong. They'll probably..probably.." He heard his breath faltering and his fingers were becoming numb so he had to readjust himself again so that his hands were more on the outside of his hips then trapped beneath his back. "Keep on continuing with this. Because they have no..no..no feeling for it, its just that. It doesn't bother them, so they'll go on." He'd stop now because if he continued he'd ramble and would constantly have to change his position throughout his answer. Tag didn't want to waste the teachers time. |
SPOILER!!: professor Jogjogjogjog hah! See, it was paying off now, jogging instead of that boat thing. Another question! What made someone dark? Who are well known... blah blah. Two questions. West was about to blurt once again but made a conscious effort to say something different. Hand up. Jogjogjog. "Dark wizards and witches are dark because they want power and will do anything it takes to get it even if that means hurting people." Well and West rather thought it depended on the people, didn't it? And on the hurt? A simple headbutt wasn't the same as cursing someone insane. Not that he was even close to capable of the second one. As for the second bit, he brightened. "I know one! My dad put one in Azkaban. Martel D'Isigny, he was the leader dude of the Cult of Walpurgis. It was in the Daily Prophet and everything." |
:3 SPOILER!!: Roselyn As they were asked to shift into a "killer" yoga stunt, Beezus staaaaaaaaaaaaared at the woman for seconds. Killer position? GodricGryffindor'sSword! She was referring to the boat position. Shoot! No. She couldn't do the stunt right now, not when she was enduring the stabbing daggers on her ribcage. She might make it worst. However, granted that she was a Quidditch player and was basically up to giving herself more straining pain that she already had, the Ravenclaw still obliged and did as they were told. Dislodging from the Lotus position, she brought her knees to the front, then moved sideways, placed her hands palms open on the floor behind her and heaved her lower body uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppp... *CRACK!* She barely got through lifting her legs when it tumbled down into the floor with a rather loud thud. Her ribcaged cracked! IT CRACKED! Beezus winced, eyes streaming as she uncontrollably let out a muffled yelp of pain, feeling a gush of one thousand and one sharp blades permeating throughout the cartilaginous structure. Her arms cowered immediately around her stomach. That hurt, it hurt, really...it hurts! A little help? Kendall? Rich? Crying now, she heard the Professor's question and sniffed before answering, "Beaters...they tend to inflict harm to other players with their..." Cough. Cough. "..bludgers..." Sorry Professor Romanos but she wasn't going to do the boat position. |
Spike's eyes widened. A 'killer' position? Didn't the woman know how many bruises he was carrying from tryouts? Plus a few grazes down his back? It was times like this Spike wondered exactly how he'd got an O in his OWL. And, for that matter, why he was still taking the subject. He could be relaxing in the greenhouses right now, or grooming a hippogryff, or many other wonderful activities... Huh. With a grumble, he heaved his legs off the ground, and clung on to them as tight as he could. His bruised stomach muscles were too sore to even contemplate holding him in the pose otherwise. And there he rocked and wobbled about on his matter, trying to concentrate on the question as a distraction. What made someone dark? Bad intentions, he thought, before remembering he was meant to clear the first idea from his mind. And then he heard Beezus pipe up from somewhere in the darkness, and he agreed. "Definitely beaters," he agreed with a nod and subsequent wobble. "Anyone who takes pleasure in hitting bludgers at innocent Chasers definitely has morbid intentions...especially if it's at your own housemates during tryouts." ...and that included his sister. He still remembered why he missed last term's Championship match. Did Beezus' voice sound funny? Or was that just him imagining things in the dark? |
SPOILER!!: Evelyn....... I mean Professor Romanos O_________________________O What kind of a position was that!? Yeah, Professor said it was 'the boat' position. Clearly it looked awkward. Kat didn't wanna do that. But she cares and it's for the sake of her class. Kat sat down and tried to imitate the position. At first, she failed. "Oooff," Kat said. Then she tried it again and glady, she didn't fail. Ok... it kinda looked awkward but it was better than practically nothing. What makes a dark witch or wizard? "I think what makes a witch or wizard dark is when he or she practices Dark Magic, or Dark Arts," Kat said. "Mostly, people would say Dark witches and wizards are the people who make Horcruxes, but there are more reasons to make someone dark. Even using the Unforgivable Curses can make a wizard Dark." Guess that was it. |
O_______O NOTTHEBOATPOSITION! Ella frowned immediately, knowing she was completely rubbish at this pose. Every single time she found herself rocking or worse, falling over to the side uncomfortably. Romanos was right. This position WAS a killer. A blonde Hufflepuff third year killer. MEEP! The third year positioned herself on the ground and then with furrowed brow, thrust her legs up and out in front of her. She reached her arms out and held on tightly, trying not to rock too much. EEP. This was definitely uncomfortable. WHY couldn't she have longer arms and legs, anyway? That would make this far less difficult, just saying. Anyway...time to try and answer. "Professor, a dark witch or wizard is something who seeks to cause harm." So it was all about intentions, yeah? As for one from history..."Herpo the Foul was...was..." YIKES! Ella quickly readjusted her grip, preventing herself from toppling over. "He was a ancient dark wizard and I think he hatched a Basilisk!" |
Nigel was happy he followed what West was doing and jogging. It sounded like the boat position was painful. He had no idea how a person could answer a question and be in the boat thing. Nigel did know one dark wizard/witch. He did not want to say an obvious one so he decided on a really old one. "Professor, I know one. It's Morgan le Fay. She was a Dark Witch and an Animagus" Nigel did like the beater answer. Because really, they try to hurt innocent chasers with the bludgers they hit. |
SPOILER!!: professoooooooooor! Okay...there two ways that Kurumi could handle this. She could answer first and then get into the boat position or she could get into the boat position first and then answer. Oh...wait...she had thought about answering first and THEN getting into the position...and since they were not supposed to go with the first thing they thought of that meant she had to get into the dreaded position and then answer. Ug... Boat...position...was not... fun... Uncurling her legs, Kurumi stretched them out straight before leaning back just a little. Legs...straight...leaning back...hand going up... Well, that wasn't going to work. Now on her back and off her own mat, Kurumi took several deep breaths and was just about to pushed herself back up when... Quote:
Well, that certainly did not sound good. Distracted, and rightly so!, Kurumi rolled onto her side to see Beezus sitting behind her. Sort of sitting anyway. "Beezus, you alright?" Obviously she wasn't though. Oh! Hey! Out of the box thinking coming up! Kurumi's hand shot up to answer the first part of the question. "A dark wizard wouldn't care that Beezus is in extreme pain right now because they only seek to harm others and have been corrupted by the dark arts to the point where some become disfigured, such as the case with Voldemort." Who had no nose. There. Two birds. One stone. Resourceful! So...could Beezus get some help now, please?! |
Text Cut: Professor Harvey listened as the professor spoke and then showed them the next position, oh boy this was one position he was not fond of since it was painful to his back and bottom. But he decided to answer the question first before getting into the boat position cause that way its easier to answer rather than having to balance and answer at the same time. "Professor someone would be labelled as dark if they gained pleasure from harming others. One could be...." he thought about one dark witch or wizard that he knew of "Would Bellatrix Lestrange be one?" he was not sure, though she did gain pleasure from harm to others so he suspected that she could be a dark witch but was not 100% sure |
Minerva smiled as she moved to her stomach and pulled her legs up and put her hands back. Then she realized she was doing the wrong position.. Ooops.. turns red, good thing it's dark so no one will notice Minerva thought as she hurried and got on her back lifting her self as far off the ground as she could which wasn't to far. This wasn't the most comfortable position, but she tried to stick it out feeling her muscles fight against her. Not playing quidditch this year was going to be a down fall to her activity level. Trying to put her hand up and stay in position Minerva answered the question with a strain in her voice. "A dark wizard is made a dark wizard by the way they perform the spells. Are they out just to harm people if so then they are a dark wizard. If they are just defending themselves against someone else then no I wouldn't say they were dark. A dark known dark wizard I read about is Morgan Le Fay." That was all she could get out before her voice gave up with the fact she was using all her energy to try and stay in boat position. |

The next answers were going relatively well until... Erm... Ahem. Quote:
Gaze snapping towards the Ravenclaw, Medea frowned in concern as she lowered her own legs and sat up. She was rethinking this classroom setting for future lessons; the lack of seeing detail being rather unfortunate at the moment. "Beatrice, are you alright? Vot vos that?" It was not natural sounding at all. Quote:
Good use of examples... Wait, who else mentioned beaters? |
And mention of Beezus :3 THE BOAT POSITION?! o________O NOOOO..!! Anything but that. He never got this position right. He always failed and not to mention how hurt his back was after he did the boat position. Maybe he need to answer the question first then he could do the boat position later. He raised his hand "Someone who practice Magic with bad intentions." Now, onto the boat position. Messer was about to try it when he heard a CRACK sound. What was that? Crack and Bang were not a good sounds. His eyes went to search the origin of the sound. Its coming from Beezus. He was about to ask whether she's okay when she answered Romanos's question. Beaters? He was trying out for beaters. Was that mean in Beezus's eyes he's a dark wizard? Frown. |
Quote:
Yes, beaters. Those Ravenclaw beaters, especially Dustbin whose bludger always got her. *ish struggling to nod* Quote:
Sweat trickled down her forehead, eyes smeared with tears, her arms still hugging her stomach when the Prefect gave her answer to the DADA Professor. Huh? Ehhhh? Yeah, that totally didn't make sense. Then again, not much of things was making sense to her at that current state. Quote:
"Errmm.." Gulp. "..Nothing Professor, I mean..yes, I am alright." Was the crack that loud that the woman heard it? If it was, then perhaps there was some real damage on her ribcage now? Did it mean Healer Tillstorm would have to regrow an entirely new ribcage for her? The thought was just plain dreadful. "...Errmm.. it was a.." What was eeeeeeeet? "...a rat." A RAT? "...Yes, it was a rat Professor. I hit it when it released my legs and it sort of...err.....cracked." RAT? CRACKED?! WHEN DID RATS CRACK?! |
Quote:

Quote:
Her voice HAD been different. There was something up. He bit his lip, not liking this whole atmosphere. He could barely pick her out over the other side. Luckily he could hear her though. ...There was a rat? A CRACKED rat? That sounded like broken ribs. *wibble* "Poor rat," Spike said to himself quietly. He was sure Beezus hadn't meant to hurt it. Maybe once it was found the Professor would let him keep it and nurse it better. "Did you need any help with the rat, Professor?" Spike found himself asking. Well, he was probably one of the best with small creatures in the room... |
Fantastic! The boat position...Hannah couldn't be any more thrilled. She let out a sigh and positioned herself like a boat she assumed. Oh man her abs were already hurting. Before long she knew that her arms and legs would begin to shake. She still to this day doesn't understand why they have to do yoga in DADA. Hannah was having a difficult time trying to pay attention to the professor because most of her time was devoted to trying not to sweat or shake. "Having evil intent makes someone a dark wizard." Voldemort was the first dark wizard that came to her mind. That was such a big deal. Who else was there though? "Professor there was Bellatrix Lestrange." She knew that she followed Voldemort and was pretty much his right hand man...or girl in this case. |
Quote:
At all. "You are more than velcome to the hospital ving if needed, Miss Castell." Quote:
Or you know, squish it. OOC: We'll be moving on with the lesson around 5pm EST. |
Quote:
The Hospital Wing? Shoot. Brows still furrowed, Beezus wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and sniffled. "Uhm, it's okay if I don't Professor." Because really... it was feeling a lot better now. Moreover, she didn't want to miss the rest of the class. They weren't even haflway through the period yet. Although, there was one thing she could ask from the woman, "..Ermm, can I just skip the Boat position? And stick with the Lotus stunt?" the Ravenclaw inquired with a rather weak voice. Please Professor? One more leg lifting and her whole ribcage would go crumbling altogether. |
The fact that Aspen was answering the question alone was...proof she was rethinking answers, and possibly rethinking her rethinks. As usual, she didn't raise her hand because she didn't want Ramanos looking at her. "I think if a Dark witch ...or wizard ... is any good at being Dark, no one will know their Dark nature until they're too powerful for anything to be done about it. It doesn't happen too often, as history only notes a few truly, devastating Dark Wizards. Most of those have been named already." There was no RAT, not in animal form anyway. There was the Head Girl, who was a RAT in the whiny tattle tail sense. But not a REAL rat. Aspen was desperate to get her wand out in this class. Commeeee onnn Professsorrrrr. Let the hexing begin! Let's play, Find the Dark Wizard. |
What in the name of the great Harry Potter is going ON in this class?! Pahahaha Sutton's eyes widened as they were expected to begin to move into this boat position. Any muscles above her legs were exceedingly lacking in tone, and her abs were not going to appreciate this. Nevertheless, she would give it her best shot. Doing her best to mirror the professor's position, she lifted her legs and shoulders, moving her body into the v-shape of the position. Then there was something about a rat?! Sutton squealed and jumped up to her feet, looking around for said rat. In the comments that followed, though, she realized that there probably hadn't ever really been a rat, and she sat back down on her mat feeling a bit embarrassed. Getting back into the difficult boat position, she thought about the question... what did it mean to be a dark wizard? That was hard for Sutton to conceptualized as she had never really learned much about dark wizards. "Maybe... I'm not sure, Professor, but I think it has to be something about how they use magic for innately immoral reasons... or maybe that they use magic to negatively alter the nature of the world or to oppress others or... something..." she trailed off quietly. |
& Beezus' cracked rat & *giggles @ Aspen* Text Cut: poor Vivi D: She was worried about professor Romanos? Louisa made a mental note to give Vivi her well-known get-to-know-the-professors lecture. Professor Romanos was listed with those you didn't have to worry about messing up with. Class was moving on already and they didn't need more points taken away from them. Text Cut: Professor Oh thank goodness, this position wouldn't let anyone fall on her in the dark again. They could just fall on their back. Heh heh heh. That was pretty lame, ahem. Clearing her throat, she untangled her legs, stretched them for a few seconds and patted her thighs before sliding her hands under her knees and stretching harder, she tried to position her bottom the same way professor Romanos had but Louisa was pretty sure she would fall backward. So this half-boat position would do. Their intention was Louisa's first answer. She waited though and tried to think of something else. She didn't hear the cracking, maybe due to the low music or her deep thinking but she turned her attention to where Beezus was. Louisa frowned, concerned, and tried to actually see the girl's face, but it was almost impossible from where her mat was. When the fellow Ravenclaw claimed to be alright, Louisa squinted her eyes suspiciously at her and then went back to rethinking her answer. "Dark creatures or wizards are the ones to choose to harm, demolish and cause pain to others." Pause. "Merwyn the Malicious is a medieval dark wizard. I believe there is a portrait of him in the castle somewhere, too." Unpleasant hex and jinx inventor. |
SPOILER!!: prof Sarah went into the new position. She was going to say desire for power, yet she thought some more of what else to say... "Dark wizards preform magic in order to harm others. I think they are sadistic. Some wizards later regret their actions. Yet some don't like Bellatrix Lestrange was a dark witch, she even broke out of Azkaban" |
Quote:
Right. Boat position. Milton chuckled to himself before lifting his legs up and struggled to keep them up. Feeeel the buuuuurrnnn. And he would have answered the professor's question, but people had way better ideas than he did. |
Quote:
Theo made a grunting noise as he attempted the boat position but he was struggling to breath after about five seconds, so he flopped back down the the floor, all in a tizzy. "I'll pass on that position, professor." He muttered. The question was a toughy. "I only really know about Voldemort." For obvious reasons. But growing up as a muggle, he was always kind of outta the know. "And killing people would make someone a dark wizard. And I know that Voldemort killed so many people that mother nature decided to sacrifice his nose and his hair." So yeah... tip... don't pull a Voldemort and make horcuxes. Cos you WILL lose your nose. |
Sierra sighed. Why couldn't they just sit in a DESK?! She whipped around into the boat position. The only reason she could do this without feeling like she was dying was because of Quidditch. Oh, how she wished she was out on the pitch right this very second... She raised her hand. "I said before that I do think there's some selfish motives behind the Dark Arts. So not everybody has a selfish reason, but the ones who intentionally get involved just to hurt others or benefit themselves are pretty selfish," she said. ...and a dark witch or wizard? "What about Remi Deveraux?" she suggested. "He set up these fight clubs here at Hogwarts not that long ago." Fight clubs...creepy. |
Quote:
Quote:
Oh! "Not really." she smiled, chuckling quietly. "Good one though." She didn't need to see to know that the students weren't not enjoying this pose. Just a little longer though, while she got back into speaking normally. "I can honestly say, beaters are not considered dark people. Their intent is for purely game purposes, and intent is indeed a rather important factor when labeling a witch or wizard as dark." she nodded slowly, addressing the whole class. "As is their primary studies, which in this case, would be the dark arts; Voldemort, Bellatrix, Merwyn, and Grindelwald being just a few good examp- Remi Deveraux? Fight clubs here in Hogwarts? Really?" The professor looked towards Sierra. A delayed reaction from her, but this was new information to Medea. Anyways...moving on! "Power is definitely the more common desire a dark witch or wizard seeks when studying and/or practicing the dark arts, as well as the lack of remorse while most of their actions involves harming someone or, yes, selfish reasons. I think it was Miss Lecium whom mentioned the root of these people turning to darker natures was in their childhoods. Upbringings and the settings in which one lives when younger can definitely influence a person's thoughts and actions, to the point of guiding them towards the darker arts, however...this is not always the case." Medea paused momentarily to stand up. "You can lower your legs and stand up now. We're going to go into a position called The Triangle. I promise, it's not bad." Demonstrating the pose, she leaned to the side and raised her arm vertical to the ground, touching her ankle with the other. And now continuing... "Some may surround themselves with certain objects with deadly qualities, brew potions of more sinister properties, or become fascinated with creatures we all label as dark themselves. Most of the time though, we are not aware of these interests, which can become dangerous for us. What we can notice, and hopefully if any of you do you are well protected, is their choice of spells. Dark wizards, as we know, favor curses, especially the unforgiveables, but jinxes and hexes are not so foreign when it comes down to it. Can anyone tell me one dark spell and why it is considered dark?" The Triangle |
Quote:
And it was becoming well apparent to Vivi that her physical training in Defense was well behind the curve. She was a fast draw and good with hexes and defensive spells, but she wasn't good at yoga. It didn't seem possible that would keep her from becoming an Auror, but... who knew? Oh, question. Vivi peered up at the professor through a fall of her hair. Not her first thought, which was an Unforgivable, so she went with something else. "What about the spell to create a Horcrux, Professor? I can't think of any non-Dark use for such a spell. Why wouldn't that spell be considered Unforgivable too?" |

Beaters as dark people? Meh. Ella would have looked around for Theodore, knowing he was probably nodding in agreement of that statement and she had the urge to practice her sour lemon glare on him. Unfortunately, the third year had enough trouble not collapsing on her mat at the moment. She BEAMED when Romanos confirmed that beaters weren't dark, making a mental note to bring this up in the Little Lurker ever started complaining about it again. Ella was going to die. I mean...not literally die...but her arms were KILLING from holding her legs up. The boat position really was a killer! O___O Was Professor Romanos a mind reader? Cause just as the third year was about to fall over in defeat, the woman allowed them to drop their legs. IT WAS A DADA MIRACLE! Without a moments hesitation the small blonde's legs dropped to the floor in front of her and she heaved a sigh of relief. CrazyBoatPoseTryingToKillHer... Right. The triangle pose was MUCH easier to do. Ella moved into it with ease and thought about the dark spells that she knew and why they were considered dark. Hmm..."Professor, the stinging hex could be considered dark as it causes the victim pain though...I guess it could also be used for defensive purposes. It would all depend on the caster's intentions, like you said before." |
Quote:
Kai's body was beginning to turn on him, he could feel the pangs of exercise taking hold of his legs and arms and he was beginning to wish he didn't come to the lesson after all. He needed to stay focused on learning and he wouldn't notice the pain, right? One dark spell..."the killing curse" Kai originally thought, but he needed to choose a new answer as per the professor's wishes. "Would alarte ascendare be considered a dark spell? After all, what other motive would you have to shoot someone into the air other than to cause them harm?". To Kai, that made sense. Having been on the receiving end of it he knew it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences. |
Playing catch up!!! She. Did. Not. Like. The. Boat. Position. She could scarcely managed to stay balanced for very long and had only managed to topple over with each new attempt. After a while she just embraced the toppling over and began having fun with it, not realizing that the Professor had asked another question. Of course she had another answer but she couldn't bother thinking up a new one so she decided to continue getting into the boat position and toppling over. Weeeeeeeeeeeee. Unfortunately her last topple made her fall badly and she found herself in a very painful new position. Yeah...that was enough boat for a good, long time. Alexa forced herself into a sitting position and tried focusing once again on the Professor who was now speaking. For a while she was tempted to continue toppling over but threw that impulse away when the Professor asked another question. Oh. A new position too. Heeeeeyyy! That one wasn't so hard!!! Lex hopped up from her mat and quickly got into the next position. Ooooo, she could see the ceiling now, barely in the dim light but you know-- Focus! Her hand began to wiggle in the air in an attempt to gain the Professor's attention. Hopefully she could see her. "Professor, I happen to know that Silencio is a VERY dark spell and the reason for that being it robs me of my speech then I'm forced to be quiet!!! It's terrible dreadful really and I know a few DARK students who like using it on me!" Such a horrible spell, that one. "I don't like the quiet!!!!" :whaa: |

So. Dark spells? The obvious one was the killing curse. Jake pursed his lips, trying to get himself to think a different way. But... he wasn't feeling very creative, so he just said the next answer that came to mind. "The Imperius curse. That one's usually used to make people do bad things, right? So the person in control doesn't get blamed. And... it could be used for some bad things." |
Nigel just kept on jogging. He heard Beezus crack something that sounded like a rib. It sounded painful. She said a rat did it but Nigel knew it was a lie because he could not believe Professor Romanos would allow rats in the classroom. Well, Back to the question. He knew about a couple dark spells. But did not want to say the three obvious ones. "Professor, There is Fiendfyre.Its flames are so powerful it can destroy things and will create an ashwinder if left unchecked." Nigel wondered if there was anything that can put out Fiendfyre because he knew aguamenti could not. |
Kurumi did eventually push herself back upright, getting into something that someone resembled the boat position, but her attention was far from the other answers people were sharing because her attention was on Beezus and watching her every movement. Kurumi was no Healer, THAT was to be sure, but Kurumi also wasn't stupid and she knew something was wrong and...her Ravenclaw little sister of sorts really needed some sort of help despite saying she was fine. So when Professor Romanos said they would be standing up next, Kurumi moved slowly and kept her attention on the girl behind her as she moved into the new position. And...well...since her hand was already up...due to the nature of the position and all... "There is a spell, Tyrantio, that allows you to take over the body of someone else. It is similar to Imperio I've read...only I believe this spell is different in that the victim of it retains their consciousness..." the Gryffindor began, trying to recall all that she had read in a rather old book she had found in the reference section while reorganizing in there. "If you don't concentrate enough while casting...you also run the risk of crushing the other person's bones...which I suppose could be another desired result..." Which was...dark. |
Try Grant... He's a dark wizard for sure. But Gideon kept himself from mentioning the man's name. The seventh year certainly didn't want to think too much on him. It was bad enough all talk of dark arts and spells unless it was about dark creatures specifically like last term's focus,usually brought him to mind anyway. Sighs...maybe he shouldn't have have considered not continuing on with the class. Gideon unconsciously shivering and nearly falling down to the mat. Moving his legs back down to the floor from the boat position, he gingerly got back up to his feet so he could stand. Glancing at Professor Romanos as she switched position, Gideon tried his best to duplicate the way she was standing bent over to one side with her right hand touching her foot. He staggered a bit at first before regaining his balance. Then awkwardly raising his opposite hand up in the air, the prefect attempted to answer the woman's question. "All spells can be considered dark, it just depends on how it is used against a person." Grant certainly knew how to warp all sorts of spells into his evil bidding. |
SPOILER!!: Professor Annabelle blushed happily when she got her thoughts mentioned by the Professor. It was somewhat right and she would take it. Now she released her arms and legs from the boat position. They were actually shaking, she was out of shape. Then the professor instructed them to do another pose where they stood up and made their right hand touch their foot. It was called the Triangle. It was a nice stretch for her muscles, Belle felt. Then she heard the Professor ask another question and she wondered what dark spells she knew. She thought about it for a minute and said, "Professor isn't one spell called the Cruciartius curse? It is suppose to inflict pain on others." |
we see Beezus too. :( (haha Kat, we know of Grant too. ;)) Okay, so her answer had been correct. At this point, Ken dall really didn't care, even if she was supposed to be a 'Claw and therefore want to get correct answers. She'd heard that crack, and it was definitely not a rat. And she didn't care if Beezus had told Professor Romanos that she didn't need the healer. If her friend was in pain, that meant she needed help, and Kendall herself had dropped her legs from the boat position as soon as the crack had sounded. Therefore explaining why she knew there hadn't been any creatures around, because they would've gotten more squished. And she could tell that Kurumi wasn't exactly convinced either, since the Gryffindor prefect kept looking at Beezus while class had gone on around them. Something was wrong with just going on like nothing had happened. They'd paid more attention to the show getting thrown than they had somebody getting hurt, which was just bad. Almost like the professor was being a dark witch now, and Kendall had glanced next to her at her friend as she'd stood up. "Are you sure you don't wann go to the healer," she whispered. "I'll take you if you want." After asking permission of course. For now, she'd go back to answering questions whiel she waited for a response from Beezus, awkwardly leaning over into the position that they were supposed to be in even as she kept her eyes on the other girl. "What about Crucio? It's an Unforgivable, so that makes it automatically dark, and is it true that you can't even cast it unless you want to hurt the person badly?," she answered. Like whatever had just happened, and that was just totally not right. Yoga wasn't fun anymore, although it had taken her mind off her problems. She didn't want Beezus to have gotten seriously hurt just to distract her, and she really hoped that the professor didn't think it was okay to let her continue in the lesson when she was injured. Stupid Gryffindor boy who'd gotten the shoe thrown at him hadn't gotten hurt, so Beezus was more important. |
Elliot sighed with relief as they changed positions...thank Merlin! She stood up, her arms and legs a little shaky from being that stupid BOAT position...but she managed to do the triangle right... Right. Curses. Dark spell.s Obviously the first ones to pop in her head were the Unforgiveables...but she could't say that, now could she?! She tried to think, but each time she thought of something, someone else took it! ANSWER STEALERS! It was a few minutes and heavy thinking before her hand shot into the air, "Professor, I don't know the exact curse, but wouldn't whatever produces Fiendfye be a dark curse? Because Fiendfye can't even be put out with Aquamenti..." she said, thinking back to something she read...as usual. |
SPOILER!!: Professor Romanos Slowly lowering her legs before moving into the next position, Alyssa thought over the answer to the Professor's next question. When she had the answer, she again let that answer go and thought of another one before raising her hand. "Professor a dark spell is considered dark because no other sane and normal wizard or witch would ever think of using it like for example the Unforgivable curses. Avada Kedavra for example." Alyssa wasn't going to recite them since the other students already had. "Like Professor Slughorn once said, the worst crime any wizard or witch can commit is murder. That is the darkest spell of all. Taking someone's life just for pleasure." |
Minerva was happy to get out of boat position and stood up to get into triangle. Standing she placed her hands out parallel to the ground and then she leaned down and put one arm up in the air, checking the professor to make sure it looked right she decided to place her hand up a little further for the professor to see she wanted to answer the question. "Professor, the cruciatus curse is a dark spell, because the caster is very very aware that he/she is torturing the victim, but does it anyway to get his/her on advantages met." Minerva shivered a bit even thinking about that curse, how anyone could be that mean she couldn't figure out. She was glad that she didn't know anyone that was that vicious even some of the meanest teachers here she didn't believe would ever use that one. |
Wow, there was certainly a lot of commotion in the room! Eliza had never expected students to cast shield charms in the middle of a lesson that wasn’t about dueling, but now she’d be more on guard. The light from the student’s wand was astonishingly bright and it took her a moment to recover from its glare in her pupils. “Definitely wasn’t expecting people to be throwing shoes either,” she thought. “I guess I should’ve kept mine on in case I needed ammo!” she joked to herself. She wished it wasn’t so serious and quiet in the classroom. She would’ve liked to introduce herself to Cora’s friends, but she was sure she’d have the chance at a more social lesson. She had thought the joke about defending yourself against women was sort of a funny one, because of course he hadn’t been serious. “Had he?” she wondered. Anyway it was time to move on. Now Romanos wanted them to do the Boat position. “Boat?” She watched the Professor lift her legs up into the air and balance on her rump. “Now that looks reaaallly relaxing,” she thought sarcastically. She decided it was like you were going to summersault, but then you stuck your legs out and teetered in the middle instead. So that was how she went about it. The Ravenclaw wobbled and titled, but in the end she found that she could balance fairly well this way. “Somehow this is easier than the Lotus,” she noted. That was until her abs started shaking and burning from holding the pose. “Ohhh no. This is not good. Please let it be over soon,” she wished. She thought about what would make a witch or wizard considered dark. Her initial assesment was because they seemed creepy or were always up to no good. Since that answer was sort of silly she said instead, “What makes a witch or wizard dark is that they practice dark magic and do bad things for their own benefit.” She had heard a lot of dark wizards named already and couldn’t think of any different ones. “And I don’t know an answer someone hasn’t said, but a dark wizard I know of is Grindlewald.” Quote:
“Ah, power - that’s what I was getting at,” she thought. “That makes sense. Lucky for me, I don’t think I’ll ever become that hateful and bad.” “Oh, thank Merlin,” she sighed in huge relief as she dropped her position. She released so quickly in fact, that her heels hit the ground at high velocity and bounced a few times on her mat. “Ow!” she squeaked accidentally. She turned her eyes to the floor as she got into the Triangle position so she wouldn’t see if anyone had heard her. As she leaned to her side and raised her arm, she felt a deep stretch through her body. “This isn’t so bad.” Another relief. Eliza was finding this class to be very valuable indeed. She wouldn’t have thought much about trying to identify dark wizards by how often they use hexes or curses. She hadn’t even really considered that a dark wizard might want to keep their true nature a secret either. It made her a little bit on edge having this new level of awareness to danger, but she supposed it was a good thing. “The spell that death eaters used to make the dark mark for…Voldemort. Wasn’t that spell called Morsmordre?” She thought she had heard that somewhere… “And it’s dark of course because it was used to call a horribly dark wizard, or other people who followed him.” |
Text Cut: Romanos <3 & I liked it.no worries Hehee And the triangle position. The second year put down her legs and stretched her limbs before rising to her feet. Once standing she copied the Professor's move and it was easy actually considering that Cassia was short so she got to her ankle easily. Hehee. The pros of being short finally. And the question. Cassia listened to a few answers and she wondered, weren't those the right answers? Weren't they supposed to give the wrong ones? The twelve-years old got confused causing her to blurt out the first thing that came across her mind, "There'e a very evil spell it's Sectumsempra....um...it hurts or something." How did the second-year know about such dangerous spell? That'd be because of peering at books into her father's study. Yup ,she did that. |
What was this EVERY spell business? Some people were daft, right? West thought of the unforgivables and then changed his mind. You know, different answer. Stuff. West jogged on the spot and put his hand up. "The one what makes inferi, professor. Reanimating the dead." preeeetty daaaark, right? |
Oh, finallyyy!! Sophie promptly got up from the boat position as professor Romanos told them to do so. She breathed in relief as she massaged her stomach. Luckly they didn't stay in that position long enough to make it all sore the next day! The triangle position thing was way easier! Sophie didn't really mind it at all. After she leaned to the side and raised her hand in the air, she thought about the next question for a bit. Some of the other students were already giving their own answers and Sophie looked at the Gryffindor Prefect - that wasn't Kurumi - when he replied. "I agree with the Gryffindor boy Prefect, professor!" She said turning her head to face the older witch. She didn't know his name, but she knew he was nice. He hadn't gotten them all in trouble when they were caught in the courtyard and stuff! Nice Prefect! Though professor Romanos would want a complement with that comment, right? "There are some pretty nasty spells indeed, like some people are saying, but isn't the intention what matters the most in some cases?" Sophie could give an example too, but she had really liked the Prefect's answer that all spells could be Dark and agreed 100%. Wait... no, she didn't! "Of course, there are some simple spells, like the Colour Changing Charm..." A.k.a. her favourite spell ever. "... that are kind of impossible to be considered 'Dark'... but maybe they could be used in a very mean way?" Merlin, this 'don't answer the first thing that comes to your mind' thing was making Sophie's brain a little befuzzled! |
Text Cut: Professor Ashten sighed with relief as they were allowed to change positions from the boat position. He was not one to be flexible and the position was killing him. He found, however, the triangle position to be obnoxious, and he could already feel the blood rushing to his head as he maintained the stance. Nevertheless, he closed his eyes and tried to think of spells that could be considered "dark." He thought of an idea, but, as per Professor Romano's instructions, he dispelled the response from his mind. "It's too subjective to ask what kind of spells are dark," he said, after a few moments of thinking. "We all call the Unforgiveable Curses by that name because we as a wizarding community have subjectively labeled them as such.. . " he paused. "Professor, doesn't it take a different kind of skill to perform Dark Magic?" he put emphasis in his tone when he said Dark Magic, and also used air quotes. "You have to really want to inflict harm on another person in order for the curses, jinxes, et cetera to be effective, right?" He stood up because he was feeling light headed. |
catching up yeah? yeah... "Sorry man... I just... I cant see..." he mumbled at Ashten when he finally got himself to at least sit upright again. When the impromptu stars finally cleared he could make out some shoe throwing from Vivi (of all people) bulls-eying a Gryffindor boy. Witnessing that whole thing was pretty hilarious (even if it did cost them points) although secretly theres a part of him that agrees with the Lion boy's statement. But he'll be all quiet about that opinion. He can do without the shoe to the head thanks. When Romanos say the boat position was a killer she sure wasnt kidding. But it did have its benefits-- it will do GREAT for the abs, which is part of the reason why he wasnt audibly complaining about it. Thing is he wasnt audible in anything, including answering that question. SPOILER!!: Romanos They get to stand now? Awesome! After taking a moment to breathe in some much needed air he pushed himself onto his feet and started to bend just like what the Professor was demonstrating. Then she moves onto her next question. Which kinda got him thinking about all those Unforgivables he's read about but has never actually done. Which led him to thinking about his conversation with Louisa and what happened to her at Knockturn Alley over the summer. Which got him to thinking what he would do if he ever faces the foul Wizard. He doesnt know any dark curses, have never practiced them. How in Gaia's green Earth will he ever defend himself or his loved ones from people like that? And although he'd like to fight fire with fire (figuratively or literally), being a monster to defeat a monster doesnt really appeal to him. He waved his other hand now suspended in the air "Professor, arent any spell considered dark depending on how they're used? A slicing spell sounds pretty domestic, but if used against a person...." Catch his drift? |
Aidan was having a jolly old time with these yoga positions. He really got into them. Not just standing in what looked like the position the professor took, but actually stretching, too. "'Incarcerous' cause it can choke you." And that was bad. Though he didn't know if it was a jinx or hex or what. But intentionally choking someone wasn't a good think. He knew that much. |
Silvia was relieved when they could move out of the boat position. It was not fun. She had been focused too much on not losing her balance and hurting herself that she had not answered the question. Plenty of other students to do that anyways. Letting go of her wobbling legs, she stood up and shifted into the triangle position. Much easier. Now, for the new question, dark spells. Not a difficult question, except maybe for first years. Silvia was about to wiggle her fingers on the hand already raised in the air to indicate she wanted to speak, but then she paused. Think of a different answer, she told herself. “There is the blasting curse, which causes your target to explode. It can be considered a dark spell when used against another person, but it could also be used to remove an obstacle out of your way. So I guess that many spells also depend on the caster’s intent as to whether or not they can be considered dark spells." |
Jory was glad the were moving on to another position. he really didn't like the boat one. As he copied the new position just as the Professor was doing it, he thought of a hex or jinx that could work. "The Hurling Hex, Professor,'' he said. ''Throwing riders off a broom is going to cause harm to them.'' |
SPOILER!!: Boat Position Cora looked around the room, or what little she could see in the dark areas, and noticed everyone wincing and complaining about this next pose. Cora struggled at first to figure out how to mimic what the professor was doing, but once in position Cora didn't mind it so much. A bit painful, but not too difficult. "A dark wizard would be one who uses dark magic to harm others," Cora answered, blushing slightly, as her answer seemed so painfully obvious. She had to wonder why the professor would ask such a question. Cora thought about known dark wizards, and this hit too close to home. It got her started about thinking about her father, and how he, umm, left. Yes, left. Her eyes filled with water, and Cora quickly wiped them away, hoping SO MUCH that no one saw. She hadn't actually SEEN the wizard, but Cora knew he was dark. And dangerous. Instead of answering, Cora just remained in the boat position. SPOILER!!: new position Cora heard sighs of relief erupting from all over the room as everyone simultaneously switched positions. Cora didn't mind either way, actually. She tried to concentrate on the new question at hand, and to not worry about the old one so much. She thought, and the first spell to come to mind was the Killing Curse. Switching to something different, Cora replied. "The Cruciatus curse is very dark." Cora took this one very seriously. The idea of another being being in pain was enough to cause Cora pain herself. She would NEVER be able to use it on anyone, and hoped to never witness it. "It is meant to torture another, and it is so terrible." |
Triangle Time Quote:
Eliza continued to hold her Triangle position and awaited the professor’s response to her students. |
Quote:
Turns out, it was the Triangle. She'd got to admit, it wasn't anywhere an easy stunt because it meant stretching the upper body. But at least, she didn't have to lift herself or anything. Plus, she can just bend a little to the side and not really streeeeeeeeeetch so the pain won't keep coming around. SPOILER!!: Kurumi "I'm okay now." she whispered at her as she stood up, trying to muster a smile which she wasn't sure the older girl could see. Then she brought her legs apart, not too much though, then bent on her right side, arms upheld, doing the Triangle stunt. Ouch, ouch, ouch. That still hurt a tad bit. SPOILER!!: Kendall "No," Beezus replied, though she winced a bit, "..I'll go there later....after class." Yes, after. That meant she was going to stick around until Professor Romanos permits them to exit the doors. Quote:
A dark spell. Of course, she thought of the Unforgivable curses right away. However, given their objective of resorting to an entirely new answer was taken into consideration, the Ravenclaw thought of another one."Ermm..there's the Sectumsempra Professor, invented by one of our legendary Headmasters, Severus Snape. It is a curse of high level, and its effect is the same of an invisible sword which can be used to slash victims from a distance." Grimaaaace. "..Uhm..the injuries that it inflicts on the opponent seem to follow the caster's wand movements, making it rather deadly." ...and daaaaaark. |
catching up!!!!!!!!!! >_< SPOILER!!: BOAT POSITION The Lotus position is really one of the basics positions that people do in yoga and of course, the easiest, seeing as all you have to do is to sit down with your legs crossed. Done. The next thing Juliet knows is that there were stuff happening like the throwing at the shoe at a mention of 'women' into the answer. Ravenclaw losing 2 points for that. WaaaiiiT!!! WHAT?!?!?!?! TWO POINTS ONLY???? For the cost of having something fulfilled with would only cost 2 points? THIS IS SOOOOO AWESOME! Not that Juliet is encouraging this and even to herself but really, two points is just.... WOW.... A BARGAIN! Juliet giggled to herself on her seat. What just happened right now was simply hilarious but props to that Ravenclaw. And now onto the new position.... Boat position. Seeing as Professor Medea demonstrated, made Juliet's left eye twitch. That's.......... HARD. How are they suppose to do this? Juliet stared at the other students who began to position themselves into the boat position. Oh okay, so they still have to do it even though it's hard and well--- Then another things happened which is a crack. Juliet heard somewhere from around the room a crack. A rat cracked? What? She didn't get it. She stared blankly into the dark curtains and decided to just deal with this boat position. She then sat in the same formation as the professor with both her feet inches away from the ground. With the help of both her hands, Juliet placed them around at the back of her knee. She did wobbled a bit but she managed to keep her balance in place. Now to answer the question. With a quick raise of her hand "A person becomes a dark wizard because of an occupation, an organization, or maybe just something he wants to be" like she also said earlier, not all dark witches and wizards are bad. It depends on how they have become one. "An example would be Professor Snape" the one who used to teach Potions back in the days. And Juliet once read he also became the headmaster at that one time in history??? Not sure though. Come on! Next position already. This is killing her. SPOILER!!: Triangle Position FINALLY! Changing the position. Juliet placed her feet down and sat like that for a few moments. She needed them to rest. but as soon as the Professor asked them to stand up for a new position. She did. This time it's the triangle. The positions were getting weirder and weirder now. Like the professor, she also leaned to the side and raised her arm like so. And the other one is now touching the ankle. Both arms were in vertical position. Golly, this is harder!!!!! But the boat position was the worse. Dark spell??? hmmmmmm.... Wiggling the hand that was already raised, Juliet opened her mouth to answer "Petrificus Totalus would be an example to these spells" but she does agree with the others who answered that ALL spells are to be considered as DARK depending on how one uses such spells. |
SPOILER!!: Ze Professor How long did they need to hold on this position? His back and bottom are killing him. Messer let out a sigh when Romanos said that they can lower their legs. FINALLY! Slowly the third year lowered his legs and did the next position which is The Triangle position. Compare to the Lotus position this next position was not so hard. He just need to lean to the side and raised his arm vertical to the ground and touched his ankle with the other arm. Dark spell? With this position he doesn't need to raise his hand anymore since his hand already up in the air. "I think Nox is consider to be a dark spell, Professor. Because its extinguish light." And that make it dark spell. |

SPOILER!!: Rawr Prof. Dark spells. Easy. Kat knew a lot, not that she was affiliated to any of them nor did she actually use one of those frickin' spells. For Merlin's Sake, she's a witch. And she wouldn't be caught dead trying to kill someone else. Even if she hated that person to the maximum level. As Kat did the Triangle position, which was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than the previous muscle-aching positions, Kat answered. "Professor, Morsmordre is an example of a Dark spell," Kat continued. "It's dark because it's used to conjure the Dark mark and it may signify that someone must've been killed." |
Well, this one seems easy! The question and the position, yes. But would she ever use them? No! Not the horrible, permanent, really painful ones, at least.... Just the ones that were like, funny and stuff. She doesn't have any dark intentions, not at all! Moving right along! Cardigan switched over to the Triangle position, feeling much more relieved. Let's see...what curses did she know..."Well, professor, Avada Kedavra is sure up there. It's used to kill people instantly, and it's one of the three unforgivables." |
