Turning his attention from Marie, Patroclus smiled as Professor Carlton arrive with guest!
Listening to the frist Question, Patroclus took in the answers of other's before suggesting his own, "Confundus Charm can be used in a defensive manner," the boy smiled, "It would be a rather useful distraction in a duel. Also the Severing Charm, Diffindo, is a cross over spell too."
Dark Creatures? Hmmmmm
All he had was Dementors, but Patroclus had heard someone say that already.
So he just smiled!
Lexi paused as one of the students, Patroclus Hudson, answered her first question just as she was asking the second question. Not wanting to dismiss his reply, Lexi nodded in agreement then paused before moving on. It looked like Patroclus was going to say something in reply to her dark creatures question, but...maybe he'd changed his mind at the last minute. She smiled politely then turned to the next student.

"Werewolves are a very good example, Mr. Bennett," Lexi commented, giving him a small nod to accompany her reply. Text Cut: leridanusws Quote:

"Inferi, yes," Lexi said, shuddering at the very thought of the creepy creatures. Inferi were, to her, perhaps one of the most frightening creatures out there. One of her biggest fears was encountering one...or Merlin forbid, a whole group of them. Text Cut: Roselyn Quote:

Which was why when he friend was distracted, the fourth year’s hand kept inching closer and closer…
Almost there…
Wait what?
Looking up, frozen in place, the Professor’s question repeated in her mind. Dark creatures, charm to defend ourselves…blah blah blah. "How about the silencing charm? They could be used on banshees right?" Could they? She couldn’t remember. Too busy trying to get the piece of paper. "That's right," Lexi said, turning to Evelyn, who'd asked about silencing the scream of a banshee. Text Cut: aussiegirl Quote:

Now seeing how her scream can kill those that are close enough to hear her. We could use the silencing charm against her." "Right. Banshees...Silencing Charms...all helpful in defending ourselves," Lexi replied, nodding as she glanced from Mia then to Destiny. Text Cut: Destiny Quote:
Originally Posted by Destiny A LOOK! Professor Carlton was giving her looks like she could see her soul or something.

Now she knew how to get attention. 
With a nod of her head, she stuck her hand in her pocket to make sure the parchment was still there, and it was hanging out! She stuffed it deeper inside, after giving Evelyn a look. She was probably trying to STEAL IT! Well..even if her friend did get it, Destiny had pleeeenty of copies in her bag. When was this practical part starting!?!?!
After the questions, she supposed. "Red Caps can be stopped with Charms." she said, raising her hand.
Which Charms? Destiny had no idea.
Was Shepard passing notes? Really? Passing notes in her class? Lexi had seen Evelyn make a grab for that parchment, but Destiny had protected it at the very last minute. "Miss Shepard, I'm guessing that parchment is full of...class notes?" she questioned.
She said nothing about the red cap, although, the answer was correct. The creatures could be repelled with the use of charms. Text Cut: Steelsheen Quote:

Salander didnt know, but as far as he was concerned it was up on the list of defend-thyself-at-all-costs. "We can use Wingardium Leviosa, or even Levicorpus, then we can throw it away without having to touch it." He should've thought of that at COMC. Huh.
Merlin, Salander seemed really excited about his answer! Or maybe he just liked dugbogs. Either way, ... "Mmhmm, dugbogs are a good example," she remarked. Text Cut: BanaBatGirl Quote:
Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl Turning his glare away from Kellen, as if he was still daring the boy to sit so close to him, Fletcher focused on the teacher again and realized he had already missed a question. Hmmph. Well he could most CERTAINLY think of a few vile, dark creatures that required the use of defensive charms....
....but then someone beat him to his answer. SALANDER! Fletcher would have been annoyed had it been anyone else, but since it was one of his best friends, he grinned at the kid and mouthed, "I was just gonna say that!"
No worries. Fletcher could think of another answer. He raised his hand.
"Dragons hafta to be controlled, professor, with like, stunners if you're trying to ride one or something." Not that he had ever considered that idea, nooooo. "And there's dugbogs, of course, like Salander said, which you have to FREEZE OFF YOUR HAND if they bite you." He was, again, not at all speaking from personal experience there. "Oh yeah, and I think we shouldn't underestimate little dark critters like the grindylow. You have to use relashio on those buggers if they get a hold of your limbs."
Again, he was most certainly NOT speaking from personal experience. Nooooo not at all. 
Fletcher. Fletcher. That boy always seemed up to something, yet--right now, Lexi couldn't out her finger on just what that might be. She'd hate to have to charm another selection from his wardrobe a pretty pink color. "Dragons, Dugbogs, and Grindylows," Oh, my! she said, nodding as she answered. "All correct, Mr. Fletcher."

Another creature which can be charmed. OH dear, too many were already said. "Well, in case the creature was annoyingly moving around, like those pixies...you can really concentrate yourself to conjure the freezing charm, Inmovilus...if I'm correct of the pronounciation." Man, those little things could get in your nerves once you really get to know them.
-.- "Yes, pixies can be rather annoying if not kept under control," Lexi agreed. Ugh, she'd absolutely hate to get stuck in a room full of uncontrolled pixies! "Immobulus," she added, smiling at Annie. Text Cut: draco_and_hermione Quote:
Originally Posted by draco_and_hermione Quickly, before someone said it, Emily put up her hand.

Emily lowered her hand. That didnt make sense, did it. what use was only being petrified if the basilisk was going to eat you anyway. She shool her head. "You're right. There may not be a specific spell to attack a certain dark creature, but there's other charms we can use to lessen the attack or at least distract the creature," she commented. "Like, the mirror you mentioned." Text Cut: HogwartsHokage Quote:

"Um...maybe you can use Lumos on a vampire, since vampires are afraid of light?" At least Jenny thought that made sense; if anyone else didn't...well, they must be on different levels of intelligence then. "Hmm, vampires...light," Lexi said, thinking on that a bit. "That's good thinking. Good example." Text Cut: mellamaet Quote:
Originally Posted by mellamaet Cass raised her hand "Arania Exumai is a spell used to kill, or at least blast back acromantulas, or maybe huge spiders in general..." "Yes, spiders! Not much has mentioned about them yet," Lexi said with a nod. Text Cut: sweetpinkpixie Quote:
Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Kurumi, having listened to everyone else's response to the professor's question grew a bit uneasy. "P-p-professor...you don't have a dementor under that cloth do you...?" She had only read about them, but they sure did not seem like something that she ever wanted to meet. Even a boggart sounded scary...she didn't want it turning into her worst fear in the middle of the classroom...She covered her face with her textbook and tried to ignore the white mass that kept thrashing about. A dementor?!?! "A dementor? Merlin, no, child!" Lexi said, laughing lightheartedly. She paused, and with a thoughtful expression on her face, she added, "Well, I suppose that depends on whether or not dementors frighten you the most." Text Cut: Dianna Malfoy Quote:
Originally Posted by Dianna Malfoy Dianna thought..
"How about Arania Exumai for erm..." what was that? Oh no.. Think.Think.Think.
"Oh! For Acromantula's." she finished her sentence. She heard one of her classmates ask if it was a dementor. She hoped not although it would be cool if it was a boggart. She would just have to wait.
Lexi started to help the girl with the end of her sentence, but in the end, Dianna was able to come up with it all on her own. "Yes, that's right! Good example," she commented. Text Cut: MissFeenella Quote:
Originally Posted by MissFeenella Fee thought about dark creatures. Mhh..
What would she do facing one? Run away and scream? No, ridiculous.
She raised her hand.
"If it was a person i would use expelliamus", she said,"or else maybe stupor?"
Fee hoped she got what the professor wanted.
Fee nodded her and wiggled her eyebrows.
She would keep an eye on Cass and Hugo.
*giggle*
Lexi laughed lightly, amused at the girl's answer. "Yes, if a person were a dark creature, we could use Expelliarmus to disarm it," she remarked. Text Cut: city_girl_95

Originally Posted by Yourenodaisy Emmaleigh listened intently as everyone's answers were judged, and took notes. She gave a small smile when she was told hers was correct. She looked up at the mention of dark creatures. She had been reading about some of them the other day, just before falling asleep for the night. She cast another look at the thing covered in a sheet, and then back at the Professor. It couldn't possibly, could it? She timidly raised her hand. " Er, P-professor Carlton, Thats, Thats not a b-boggart is it?" It's the creature she had been dwelling on the longest, because she had been wondering what she would see if she ever saw one. "um, if it is, you w-would use the Riddikulus c-charm on it." Quote:

Then instead of sitting doing nothing Lara was thinking to find some creature......she had an idea just came to her mind.. could it be correct.Let'a give it a shot Lara thought to herself. "Could it be a Boggart, Professor??" Lara said with her hand half raisen "we can use Ridiculous to turn it into something else, right??" Lara has never seen a Boggart in her life but her father used to tell her about it. Quote:
Originally Posted by springbaby Raising her hand ever so slightly, "Well there is a Boggat. In which we'd use Riddikulus to make them vanish." Could that potentially explain the violent shaking and open area? Quote:
Originally Posted by neaped "You could use a patronus charm on Dementors, or the spell Riddikkulus on Boggarts," Hugo said. Quote:
Originally Posted by SilverTiger As Professor Carlton had shown up to class, Grayson had turned to greet her, but then she'd seen the furry creatures darting ahead of the professor to curl up in a little pet bed at the front of the classroom. And a bright grin had appeared on her face as she saw the professor still had her ferret. Not to mention that it seemed the little baby ferret got along with the little dog, which she had to admit she hadn't really known Professor Carlton had had. But it was a good thing anyway, and momentarily made her think about Ruby and Draco. Until she finally registered the professor's statement upon arrival, and the grin faded a little. Poor baby ferret still had no name? That was sad.
And her disappointment caused her to miss answering the first question, but at the next her eyes went to the sheet thingy. Hmm. Seemed the new answers the others were giving might be accurate, but she raised her hand anyway. There were other points to be made, even if they had nothing to do with the lesson. Not really, at least. "The Patronus Charm can also be used to repel lethifolds, although not many people are around to verify that. But I think boggarts are more likely to, well, be something we'd have to face." There. She'd agreed with everyone else too. Plus there was that whole thing about lethifolds being, oh, really, really dangerous. And they lived in tropical places, which was definitely not anywhere near Hogwarts. Quote:

"A Fidelius charm could be used as a protection from the dark cretures as the place is undetectable" Alex said nervously.. Alex was not sure of these but she heard of boggart as the shape shifters according to individuals fear..
"A boggart!!!!!!!" Alex said raising her hand little confused...
"We can use Riddikulas" said Alex still nervous.. Quote:
Originally Posted by ToryMalfoy Tory thought for a while. There was only one she could really think of straight away. "Well the most commonly known one would be Riddikulus against the Boggart, right?" she said slowly. Quote:
Originally Posted by MissGlee Luna thought for a while. She was asking about charms to defend ourselves against dark creatures? And there was something mysterious hiding and shaking under a curtain? It must've been a boggart! Luna raised her hand. "We can use Riddikulus to protect ourselves against boggarts, Professor," Luna smiled. Quote:

She thought this was a pretty good answer. She sat and looked through a window
at the sky to admire its beauty.
====================
Just when Lexi thought that absolutely no one was going to mention the one dark creature that she'd hoped would at least be brought up once, a whole chorus of students chimed in, all supplying thought and questions about... "Boggarts! Yes!" she said, almost too excitedly. On that note, she strolled over the shaking object beneath the sheet and pulled the sheet off, casting it the side a second later. "I've encountered a boggart in an old desk and rather than simply taking care of it myself, I decided to incorporate it into a class--about defense charms, of course."
As if on cue, the desk shook just a bit harder. "Now, what exactly is a boggart, and why is it best to always have someone with you when you're encountering one?" she asked. OOC: Hey, guys! *waves* Please answer just the question Lexi's asked, as she has other questions all lined up, and I'd like to prevent all of them being answered in one post. Thanks so much!
