| | Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson 2 The large arena windows were wide open, letting in as much natural sunlight as possible, as well as the cold morning air. Better have brought your cloak! Well, even if you didn't, there was a stack of warm blankets towards the front of the classroom you can borrow. They were all shades of grays, much like the arena itself. It seemed as though something had sucked the life out of the room, leaving a dusky saturation in it's place, like an old film. Perhaps, even you yourself look a bit...colorless. The once purple mats with their minature desks upon the floor were gloomy and stone looking, as did Professor Romanos who was sitting lotus style upon her now black mat. Despite the appearances of the room, the Professor still acted in the same manner, as should everything else, giving each student a welcoming smile as they came in and directed those who needed them towards the blankets. OOC: Class has officially started. If you're just joining us, please don't post arriving late and just jump in with the class as if you've been here the entire time. |

| Wibbly Wobbly | Timey Wimey Taylor came into the class with a smile and twirled until she saw the room. Her eyes grew and a frown came. Why is everything depressing? Tay sighed and fiddled with her hair then looked at the professor, "Hello Professor Romanos." She curtsied and watched the professor, not sure if she should ask what happened to hte colors.

| Browncoat l Extra Syrup l Kita's Strong Confident Other Half l Lemon Patch "Good Morning, Professor." Dora greeted one of her few favorite professors upon entrance, wrapped neatly in her school cloak, and not the least bit phased by the atmosphere of the room. She almost preferred it this way. Not bothering giving it proper attention, she took a seat near the center of the class, but still close enough in the back for comfort and cast casual glances around the room while she waited for the lesson to begin.

Gloomy room was gloomy.
It was really cold in here too. What was with classes being so cold lately anyway? Ella shivered a bit and grabbed one of the blankets available to the students and draped it over her cloak. Added warmth couldn't hurt. "Hello Professor!" Beam. Were they doing yoga today? Ells had been working on it. She also went to find herself a seat and got comfortable, waiting for class to start.

Laura had been really looking forwards to this lesson and so when it was time to go she had raced down to the classroom and stopped just short because obviously she didn't want to get into trouble for running. "Professor Romanos." Laura panted still out of breath from her run down the stairs. "How are you today?" Laura was trying her hardest to get her breath back.

It like this room only had two temperatures. Really warm or really cold. No middle ground. Nigel was fine so he passed on a colorless blanket. "Hello, Professor"
Now where they going to be doing yoga today or something diffferent?

Hogwarts RPG Name: Zahra Kettleburn Seventh Year | Inside Kitty | HIT ENTER | UNO Queen Since Mikey and Zahra had decided to "try and earn a few points in classes or whatever"..... Zahra showed up to THIS class early. It was the cornerstone class of being a Gryffindor, basically, and the only class really worth BEING early for.
She'd taken a bath that morning, fixed her hair, didn't smell like glue or dirt. Her skirt was pressed and her socks at the same length.
Pretty weird.
BUT STILL ZAHRA, WHO SKIPPED RIGHT IN, was FIRST TO GET A BLANKET WOOT, and well... two blankets. And made herself a pallet. 'Cause why not, she had like time and junk for being early and not late. |

| Who Am I? Ern's 2460FUN Whatever Ascanius had been expecting from this class the current state of the room was not it. But he wasn't going to bother finding out why. Professors here had a weird system anyway, so he'd just grab a blanket and find himself a seat.
'Course not before he charmingly said hello to Professor Romanos, "Hello Professor." He would have taken the time to compliment her appearance, but she looked a little muted today, yeah?

This was probably going to shape up to be one of the infamous yoga classes Cutty had heard so much about. He was diggin' all on all gloomy interior, though. All of the grey. Though the chill he could've lived with out. Cutty, who was already bundled sufficiently and had been throughout the winter, reached over for a blanket and pulled it over to his seat, giving Professor Romanos a late, but still acknowledging head bow. Quills, parchment, wand, etc. He went over the list of items they'd been asked to bring to mentally check that he had what they would need.

Why did everything look so... sad? She didn't like it.
She frowned and glanced around as she decided on where to sit.
... it was a little chilly here too. Chilly and sad.

Well this was odd. Who took the colour?
Alexa walked into the room, looking around curiously at everything. The windows were open, the room was cold and something had eaten all the colour. It was like a little mystery. Something must have been up to this, something clearly dark and sinister. Perfectly fitting for a DADA lesson. She would keep her eyes peeled. When whatever it was came back, she'd be in the first response team for sure. NO ONE was attacking it before she did.
Nuff said.
Lex walked to the front and grabbed a blanket then flopped to the ground with the others. "Hello Professor. I'm fully ready for whenever that thing comes back." And a solemn nod.
No needed to pretend she didn't know what she was talking abut Professor, they ALL knew, even if no one else was saying it...yet.

Mo was happy to be back in Defense Against the Dark Arts, even if there was a lack of furniture and lack of color in the room. Still, he bounced to the pile of blankets and selected one before finding a spot in the room.
Erm... "Good day, Professor."

Brrrr! It was cold! Adi pulled his cloak tighter around him. Why were the windows opened? And who stole the happy from? The room looked so...depressing. But Professor Romanos was looking all cheery and everything. Good. It helped lighten the gloomy mood that the room had.
"Hello, Professor,'' the first year said with a grin. See? He was not going to let the room ruin his mood. No, Sir!

Defense Against the Dark Arts.....
This class was always interesting. He learned a lot from this class but the professor was really good at teaching them both yoga and their task. But he noticed that the classroom had no furniture....hmm...that was weird. He didn't question though.
He saw the professor and said, "Hello Profesor!" with a cheery smile. Then he took his spot and sat down and waited for class to begin.

The class Mischa was looking forward to. He quietly walked into the classroom completely oblivious to the cold. He was dressed warmly. He gave his usual greeting which was a nod to the Professor as he surveyed the class. Gloomy one would say. Mischa liked it that way. But the seating arrangements were ridiculous.
He tried to make himself comfortable. He kept an eye on the entrance. He was looking for other Durmstrang students. Not that sixth year beauty. Strom and Vilhelm. Yes.

Depressing set up AND Durmstragglers? Alice eyed it as she entered the room and chose a spot near Ascanius and Dora after selecting a blanket. "... hi professor. You okay?" The way she'd set up for her class didn't make her seem it.

Wade entered in the still-quite dark classroom for the next Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. He was use to the cold, so he didn't need to borrow a blanket on his way in.
"Hello Professor." He smiled kindly at Professor Romanos before heading to a place to sit and get extra comfy.

Minerva hadn't been feeling all that great lately, she had been so tired lately. Deciding that maybe she had been studying to much, she figured she would try to squeeze in a nap during her break between classes. That should work, yeah, but for now class. Walking into Defense against the Dark Arts Min looked around. Was something off about the room or was it just the way she was feeling? She couldn't put her finger on it, but shrugged it off just the same and gave Professor Romanos a small smile. "Hello Professor, how are you?"
Seeing the blankets she went over and took one before turning to see where to sit. That's when she spotted Zahra. Now that she was five foot three again Zahra didn't seem as intimidating, but the Prefect was so over that child she quickly moved her eyes and walked to the other side of the room where Kitty was and sat next to him. "Hi Kitty" She said before taking her seat and pulling out her parchment to get ready for class.

Kat's fingers - well, not literally - were crossed and she definitely hoped that there was no yoga again. Just like the last class. They had dark detectors during that class, but it was boring. She'd like a little bit of activity, you know? She didn't want to fall asleep for anything because that'd be rude to fall asleep in someone's class and Kat knew that.
Oh............. yoga mats. Kat saw them, but tried not to make a frowning face. She didn't want Professor Romanos to feel bad that Kat didn't like the sight of the mats. Usually that meant yoga and exercising. "Hello Professor," she greeted and then went to find a seat somewhere.

| Melly Bean | aussiegirl | a Supernatural freak So yeah, since he and Zahra had made a pact to get a few points so as to keep their parents happy, Mikey made his way into the classroom. Unlike his BFF, his shirt was untucked and wrinkled, his tie hung loosely around his neck and his hair was standing up every which way. There were also a few spots of dirt on his face.
He had spent his break avoiding being hit by the Whomping Willow's branches. Again. "Hello Professor."
He did get points for just turning up, right?
Scanning ths clasroom, his gaze immediately fell on Alexa and he felt his face flame with embarrassment. And so he quickly turned his gaze to the next person and his mouth fell open in utter surprise.
Was that Zahra?
He realised that he was staring and gave himself a quick shake before taking a seat beside her, but he left a considerable gap between them so as not to get her dirty. "You look different."

| I sees you all ^^ Class has started! Super Slytherin Buddy | | ⅓ She-Snake Trio | | a normal girl with normal knees No birdie running around. No butterfly flying about. No CATS. Merlin's rainbow horse, no cats. This year was a bit harder to deal with than she thought it'd be. Nevertheless, she wiggled and turned until she became comfortable on the mat and waited for the students to arrive. Thinking about...cats. Cats. Cats cats. Felines. Furry creatures. Nooooothing else...
Oh, students were arriving. GOOD. She could think about students.
And there were a lot of them. Even more good! Good good. Medea gave her hello's and good morning's and welcoming smiles to each of them as they walked in. Though a few of them had questions that were as confusing as the room could have seemed to an outside. Quote:

"...Alright. Good. Excellent." She nodded slowly, though mostly kept up the positive upbeat tone. At least TRIED to. Was there something running around the castle she didn't know about? Quote:

Despite the lack of color in the immediate area, the professor did happen to notice one of the students was not one of their usuals. Watching the young man take his seat, she smiled and nodded in his direction.
Didn't seem like a talker, that one. Quote:

Did she really not look okay?
"I'm perfectly fine." She smiled happily to the Gryffindor Captain. There WOULD have been questioning on whyyyyyyy that was asked, but one look at her watch, and a few taps against the glass to make sure it was working properly, told her the class had to get a move on! They somehow were starting late. Flicking her wand towards the arena doors once everyone was settled, or at least out of the way of the closing arena doors, Medea cleared her throat and settled back into her comfy lotus position. "Alright, ve'll..." Oh, ahem. Accent be gone! "...we'll be starting now. A biiiiit late, but that's alright. We'll just stay longer after class."
Stare. Mellow. Stare stare.
"Noooo, I'm just kidding, but really, we are going to start. So! Settle in and...we're going to jump right into it. We ARE going to be doing a bit of exercise today, I know, it's everyone's favorite thing to do, but try and keep those shouts of excitement down to a whisper. Alright?" Meaning she didn't want to hear the grunts and whines about it. Least not today.
"First thing is first. Everyone move into the lotus position. For those who don't know what that is, or don't remember, just copy what I'm doing or a student nearby." She waited until all of them moved into the position. All. Of. Them. Even the foreign student. Or close enough to it at least before she asked the first question. "What...do we know...about unforgiveable curses?" |

BWHAHAHAHA! The Lotus position. Tag couldn't contain himself and burst out in laughter. Sorry, it was just too funny for him. Lotus. Right. Let's be serious here Mr. Unicorn. Just, goofy grinning for right now. That wouldn't bother the class, yeah? "I'm sorry. I apologize Professor." He quickly added. Yeaaahhhh.
So... Tag got into the lotus position.
And unforgivable curses.
First off, obviously they were unforgivable, but Tag wasn't going to say that. No. Nah, he'd just perfect his lotus positioning. Let everyone else answer, hear what they had to say and stuff. He could probably gain some great insight into this.

Yeah. Of course. Yoga. Kat sighed and then hesitantly followed Professor Romanos' lotus position. She looked weird and all, because she wasn't the YOGA type of person, okay? She didn't even like sitting still with her back straight. She wanted to stand up and walk around, maybe take her Beater's bat out on a date walk outside the pitch and hit a couple of bludgers. Merlin's sake, she'd do anything as long as she didn't have to sit still and bore herself in the quietness.
But, hey, she never thought that unforgivable curses would interest her. "They're somehow related to Dark Arts and magic." Because why else would they learn the unforgivable curses in Defense Against the Dark Arts?

| urine trouble | Pat's Strong Confident Other Half | Pees Like a Champion Unicorn Racehorse Frankly, Alec was distracted, and not even by hair this time. He was busy casting an eye around the gloomy classroom. Because Rhys what it looked like. Gloomy. And there didn't seem to be a bird in here, as far as he could tell. That was a shame. Alec kind of liked that bird.
He shrugged before turning his attention over towards Romanos, who seemed... yeah, was she okay? Or was she doing that thing where people say that they're okay when they're not really? Alec didn't know but it did make him want to give her a hug. His hugs were meant to be good at making people feel better, after all. Nodnod.
... Unforgiveables? He knew the basics so... up went his hand in the air. "If you use any one of them, you can get sent to Azkaban." Azkaban. A place FILLED with Dementors. And a place the seventeen year old was going to stay as far away from as possible. Because... Dementors. Being around those soul-suckers was NOT fun in any way!
Trying his hardest not to think about that, Alec bent his legs and assumed the lotus position. Yoga. It wasn't too bad, yeah?

Ah nooo. Here come the exercise thing Anna had told him about. Yoga. Adi was not a fan of it. Not one bit but he had to do it because he was sure Professor Romanos would throw him out off the class or something. Meh.
The first year shifted and arranged himself into the position like the woman. The position that persons used when they meditated. So, Unforgivable Curses. He knew about those. "There are three curses that fall into that category, Professor,'' he said with a hand in the air.
