Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson 2 Despite the warm sun rays shining in through the newly dusted windows, there was a chill in the air as you make your way into the arena. Spring was arriving, but the temperatures weren't much better. The familiar purple mats from the previous lesson were lined up in rows in the middle of the arena (free of sneezing powder thank you very much), each with their own individual, and perhaps slightly off color, miniature desks next to them. Pushed against the walls were sixteen regular sized desks, each with a medium square looking object upon the top, hidden underneath a white cloth. Nooo peaking! Professor Romanos was seated on her own burgundy colored mat in the front, watching the little mechanical bird Sonya run in circles around her while waiting for the students to arrive. Which should be soon. |
Brrr. It was chilly in here, wasn't it? Ella wrapped her arms around herself and glanced over at Professor Romanos, wondering if the cold matched the way she was feeling right now. She'd seen, y'know, what had happened between Professor Elwood and Professor Airey-face. Brows indeed. The blonde gave the brunette professor an I'm-so-sorry-the-guy-you-like-planked-after being-kissed-by-another-professor smile and greeted her cheerfully. "Hello Professor! Nice to see you." Nodnod. It was. "Cool bird!" She added as an after thought, watching the little metal creature curiously. Were they going to be using something like that today too? Settling down on a mat in the center of the room, the sixteen year old glanced at the larger desks curiously before resuming her bird watching. Class would start soon, yeah? |
Jory dug his hands into his pockets. It was cold! He seriously hoped the temperature would improve soon. But not too much. he did like the cold. "Hi, Professor!'' he greeted when he entered the classroom. The Dance. That was the first thing that came to mind. He grinned at the mechanical bird. It was fun to watch. Jory found himself a mat and looked around. There were a lot of desks here. |
Lex wasn't hopping to class, not this time. Noooo. Instead she was skipping. Skipping was loads of fun and it got you to places sooner. This was good, REALLY good because this was her favourite class and she didn't like the thought of being late and missing something epic. "Hellooooooooo Professor!!" BEAM. She took a look around, little desks. Those meant they would be having treats which meant ice-cream which meant she was BOUNCING. Ice-cream! Ice-cream! Ice-cream! "Are we being treated this lesson???" Lex pointed to the desks, they were a dead give away. No need to hide it, her grin would only get wider. OOOOOOOOOoooo and the bird!! The bird reminded her. "Will I get to animate those sculptures like I asked Professor? Also, what are thoooooooose??" More pointing. ALLLLL the pointing over at whatever was underneath the white cloth. Yes. hyper Lex wanted to know everything. |
Laura walked into the classroom. "Good day Professor." Laura smiled and she then saw the bird. "Hey that is such an awesome bird." Laura really wanted one now. "Professor where can I get a bird like that?" Laura thought it would be awesome if they could. |
Dressed in appropriate attire and with a slightly forced smile on her face, Bliss made her way down to the dueling area. Once again, the floor was covered in purple mats - she bet Nessie was happy about that - and there were small desks beside them. So, just another typical defense lesson, minus the sneezing. Unless you had hayfever, of course. Not that it was springy enough to be 'hayfever season' just yet. Moving on .. once Bliss reached everyone else and beamed around. Lex had already arrived and was bouncing, hopping and skipping all over the place. The fourth year narrowed her eyes, was it just her, or was Lex a little more energetic than normal? Heh. Whatever. "Morning, Professor," she said politely, "that's a really pretty bird." And it was - all pretty and flying and stuff. Bliss shook her head free of silly thoughts and glanced at Lex before waiting for class to begin, also eyeing the desks that were covered in sheets. Ice cream sounded good, no? Perhaps that was what was hidden. |
Hot Professor was hot. Smirk. See this was why Ascanius liked THESE types of classes- the ones with females at the head of them- they were always nice to look at. And that was half the battle with him. Ugly people just didn't hold his attention. Or make Professors because they were boring and irritating. But THIS class had a female Professor who did Yoga. Ahem. So he waltzed in and smirked at his Professor, cause that was his face yeah, and said, "Hello Professor. You look lovely today." Smooth. Really smooth. Smirk. And then he took a seat on a mat. Nice view. |
Getting a very much Steampunk vibe. Nigel thought as he entered the room. There was even Romanos' mechanical bird running in circles. It was coo,l Nigel had to admit. No idea what those desks were for. But the Claw could guess that you do not sleep on them. He did not care about the other stuff in the room. "Hello, Professor Romanos." Nigel sat down on a purple mat and waited to learn why a mechanical bird was in the room. |
With all of this beautiful sunlight one would expect it to be warmer, but nope, there was still this distinct drop in temperature. Ali strolled into the room. "Good Day, Professor," she said with a smile, then proceeded towards one of the mats. |
Another day and another lesson, and this time she headed toward the defense classroom. The Defense lessons weren’t her favorite lessons, simply because she didn’t like it to do those yoga poses, but she hoped that she didn’t needed to do them this time. The second year old stopped and hide her rat inside her pocket, she knew that it was not allowed in a lot lessons to bring his or her pet into the classroom, but Sonea ignored that rule, she always had Little princess with her and as long as the professor didn’t knew it it would be okay. “Stay inside my pocket and don’t make any sounds” spoke Sonea friendly to her pink rat and closed her pocket. “Oh no, I see the mats” said Sonea in a whisper to herself. She sighed and hoped that the mats were simply to sit on and nothing more… “Hello professor” said Sonea while she tried to hide the uninterested expression she had on her face. “What is this?” Muttered Sonea while she had found a place to sit and she looked at the small table and wondered what was hidden under the white cloth. |
Minerva zoooommmmed into class, yes zoomed. It was cold still, but she was okay with cold. Cold was great for cold things, snow, snowman, snowball, and of course cold meant no melting.. YAY, but spring would be here soon and that meant warm and warm was melting, melting all the cold things such as her ice cream. No that wasn't good.. Cold needed to stay. Bounding into the room she waved excitedly at Professor Romanos. Professor Romanos was a lovely professor wasn't she. "Heeeeellllllooooooo Professor, how are you today? Looks like we are doing more yoga." she bounced she loved Yoga, yoga was awesome. What could be better than Yoga, Yoga and ice cream. Maybe they could make up a new name for Yoga and Ice cream for their class. Yoce cream. BINGO They should totally have a Yoce Cream class. Should she say something about this. She hesitated to speak again, but then saw the bird, "Oh wow cool bird professor, what is it for?" She had been standing bouncing a bit and then lost focus on the bird and moved to find her mat. Her pretty favorite color always in the front mat. |
DADA - fuuuuunnnn... apart from the yoga, but still fun. Theo sniffed hard as he walked through the classroom door, and knew that he definitely had a cold coming on. He was kinda used to those, though. "Hi, Professor." Theo said politely. Yes, he was feeling polite today. And the bird that danced around her was kind of amazing! Theo would much rather have one of those as opposed to the dirty real-life pets that were always in CoMC. Robots, FTW. He found a purple mat near the front of the classroom and tried to chill out on it. |
Defense Against the Dark Arts. Pretty chilled subject and Ness didn't mind it too much, she kinda liked that whenever they used mats they were purple mats and that was simply because purple was her favorite colour. But these desks along with the mats. Were they expected to sit without back support the whole lesson? Tomorrow she was surely going to have a sore back then. Oh well. As the puff made her way from the door to a mat she smiled at the Professor and gave her a greeting."Hello, Professor!" Nod. Smile Nod...and that bird? Huh. It looked almost robotic, but interesting it was therefore it got a curious pout.As for the covered up things they got curious pouts too. But a seat? Yeah? Giving the Professor one last nod, she made her way to a middle-ish mat and waited for the lesson to begin. |
She rested well before class. Because usually second lesson involves a bit of strength. Umm..climbing? Dueling and whatnot. So she was well-prepared, hopefully. The fourth-year entered the classroom her bag slung over her shoulder, and proceeded in. Mats. Nothing new. But a mechanical bird? Hmm...What does that say.They'd probably be asked about what they reckon the lesson is about. Might as well start thinking. She always took time thinking. Also, maybe Professor Romanos learnt Cassia's true lastname. Without an 'N'. Did she? One way to find out. "Good day Professor, Romanos," See she got hers right. With a nod and a smile, the Slytherin turned and made a beeline for a mat the slumped down. Also, hiiii everyone. Smiles for all. Because for all she knew they might be practicing hexes on each other in a bit. So a friendly star at least. |
As Asher got ready for class, he couldn't help being overwhelmed with the feeling dread. He was horrible at Defense Against the Dark Arts. His only hope was to make it through class without being called upon. Then, he could try and scrape by on any homework they may be assigned. "Um, hello Professor" he mumbled, hoping to not be noticed. Asher thrust his hands into his pockets and did his best to stay warm while he waited for their first instructions. |
Marigold skipped into the classroom. "Hi Professor!" Beam. She looked around. Yoga mats... check. Desks... check. Mechanical bird... cute and check. She wondered what they would do in class today. She was hoping something cool. |
Defence Against the Dark Arts! Despite the cold, the boy still entered the room with a grin spread across his face. Because... sure, it was cold but there were things to be happy about as well! Other things! Like ice cream and just... things in general. So why waste time being sad? Also, he wanted ice cream. That was probably something he should have gotten to eat before coming to class. Maybe. ... Oh? Not to the mats; five years doing this subject had taught him that mats were to be expected with this class. More or less. No, what was surprising were the desks near the mats. Because... did that mean that they had to write in this lesson or...? And what was underneath the white cloth around the classroom? ... Anyways... "Hello Professor!" he called, grinning and moving further into the classroom, "Awesome bird!" Because... it might be offensive to call it a robot, yeah? Or was that its proper name? Or did it have another name? ... He... needed to stop thinking so much. He gave the Professor another grin before moving over to sit down on a spare mat somewhere close to a certain blonde. There. |
Having just walked inside from the cold, Ethan was still wearing his cloak.. which he knew would be rather useful when walking in to the DADA arena as Romanos usually kept the temperature cool. Tightening his cloak a bit as he walked in, green eyes first landed on the professor on her mat at the front. "Good day, Professor," he said a bit slowly, eyeing her very carefully. She had been acting very odd the last few times he had seen her.. hello, dancing with a kneazle? Plus, he had seen her eating ice cream.. which alone spoke volumes to the boy. As his eyes fell on the little mechanical bird running around near the professor, he couldn't help but to raise an approving eyebrow and give it a little smile. That little thing was pretty cool. Turning, he found the familiar yoga mats on the floor yet again.. though he was getting quite used to the yoga and actually didn't mind it anymore. He started to walk to his usual spot, eyeing a few people slightly suspiciously - though covering that with a vague smile - as he walked past. Yes, he'd be keeping his eye on a few of you. He took a seat on the purple mat next to Minerva and gave her a smile. "Hello, Beautiful," he whispered before taking out his journal from his messenger bag. He needed it to take notes for class.. and maybe other things. |
Sarah's fingers were numb from cold as she made her way to the arena, that was becuase she had optimistically left her gloves in the dorm. She flexed them hoping to rev up the circulation as she walked inside. She saw the mats... yoga again. Hopefully that would warm up her though. "H professor" she greeted. She stole a glance out the window - oh how she loved spring and all the good things it brought. She flopped down on a mat and clutched her knees with her hands for warmth. When was the lesson starting? Meanwhile she went back to plotting her novel in her mind until the lesson started |
Wade arrived for his next Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Sure, it was a little breezy, but it felt great for him. "Hello, Professor." He greeted happily, "Awesome bird." Indeed, as soon as Wade took a mat, he continued watching the mechanical bird. |
Desks AND mats. Mo eyed both before deciding to sit at the desk and set his feet tentatively on the mat at his feet. It was still a little chilly in the classroom, but at least it wasn't so cold he couldn't feel his fingers. "'Lo, Professor. Did you make that bird yourself?" |
Anya walked into the classroom and instantly wished she would have brought a jumper. "Hello Professor." she greeted happily. The Gryffindor then took a look around. Hmm... Mo was at a desk. Could they desk? Because Anya was tired of sitting on the floor. But... effort. That was on the far end of the classroom. And she was really far too lazy to walk over there. Plus, if she sat closer to the door, she could leave quicker... and get ice cream faster! And so, she plopped onto one of the colored mats and waited for the lesson to start. |
Eliza let her long legs carry her into the DADA room and over past a few of the mats. She stopped and waved a speedy, happy little wave and let loose a fluid and whimsical "HelloOo Professooor!" She began to doddle merrily towards a mat near Ethan and Min when she bounced in her tracks. Not stopped, but bounced back around. Was that a mechanical bird? Like the mechanical spider from before?! OH! She went back to watch it flitter and clink and whir around, her eyes dazzled by the cute shininess of it all. "Hi little birdy! You're pretty neato!" she said to the bronze colored bird. After she had been amused by the metallic pet long enough, she flopped down on a mat by her friends and smiled widely at them. She watched Ethan take out his notepad and thought it might be a good idea to take hers out as well. Just in case and all. And if nothing really came to mind to write down, she could always just doodle. She liked to draw. Especially pictures of things like sunny days and ice cream cones and tree houses and other things that made her feel warm and happy during these chilly days that she really didn't much care for. In fact, right now in her opinion, the only good thing about the cold weather was that her ice cream didn't melt when she took it outside! Though it did sort of give her the shivers something fierce. |
They had small desks this time. For some reason, this made Beezus grin. They had desks....which meant they will be doing something that would a require a desk. In her mind, it meant that there wasn't going to be any yoga stunts today. The desks would surely get in the way. Wooh then. No body twisting so more grinning. "Good day, Professor Romanos." GRIN. Oh! Birdie, hullo. The brunette's dark brown eyes shone a little too eagerly at the mechanical bird and all of a sudden....she wanted to eat some ice cream. ......Ice cream. Does the bird know how to make ice cream?! |
Another Defense Against the The hell was that things prancing around the Professor? "Good day Professor." Oakey said once he was all set up on his mat. |
