Hannah made her way into the classroom. DADA was one of the more interesting of subjects for her. Defense made sense...you had to know how to do that. She looked around the classroom. It seemed very much the same to her as it always was.

She spotted the professor..."Hello professor." She found her a mat towards the middle of the room and made herself at home.

Alyssa walked into the DADA classroom. The ambience in the room was getting really familiar to her. The purple colored mats and the lights...and of course Professor Romanos sitting relaxed on one of the mats.

Alyssa quietly walked up to the Professor to greet her.

"Hello Professor Romanos. It's good to be back here." Alyssa whispered to her before picking a mat. Placing her backpack on the ground, Alyssa kneeled down and then sat down on the mat.

She closed her eyes and while waiting for class to start, decided to do some relaxation exercises.

DADA... Now this should be a fun class. Juliet skipped over to the first floor until she found the door to the DADA room. By now, she has gotten the hang of the places around Hogwarts. Hopefully, she doesn't get too confident enough not to use her map. People did say that despite their long stay in this school, they still manage to get lost.

Upon entering the classroom, Juliet's eyes widened to see the professor's taste in arranging this room. It's not your ordinary day to day classroom. This one is definitely different. The room is a bit dark, well not too dark, you can still see your way around. She walked over to the front area and took a seat on one of the adorable purple colored mats. Ohhhh, mats. Are they going to do something with this? Is this part of the lecture?

Looking up front, is of course the professor herself. Juliet smiled at her "Good day, professor" then her eyes wandered across this room. And what was the music called?

Jory entered the familiar setting for DADA class. The deep purple mats and floating candles made him feel at home. He spotted Professor Medea sitting on a red one in front of the class.

"Good day, Professor,'' he said to her before he went to make himself comfortable on one of the mats in the third row.

Oh, wow. This was one REALLY relaxing classroom. Theodore let out a yawn as his head looked upwards at the floating candles. He hoped no wax would drip down..... but he was also sure that the professor had it under control.

Theo perched himself upon a purple mat, and smiled at the professor, "Hello, professor." Should he lie down? Yes, he should. His head tipped back and he watched the candles to the music.

It was like a yoga class.

Theo wiggled his toes as he thought about it. Cos wiggling toes was a relaxation technique, he'd decided.

Bag slung over her shoulder and in her uniform pants instead of skirt - couldn't very well do yoga in a skirt without...embarrassing oneself - Kurumi entered the dueling area and quickly made her way to the front of the classroom and sat down on her usual mat where she wondered if Daichi would sit next to her again or not. She knew how he felt about fire...and all the candles in the dueling arena always made the Slytherin uneasy.

"Good day, professor," Kurumi chirped as she set her things down. "How are your cats?" Kurumi really should stop by to visit them again.

Nigel walked into the classroom loving the music and the weird atmosphere. Nigel looked and saw Professor Romanos.

"Hello, Professor Romanos"

He then went to find a empty mat, sat down, and waited to see what they were going to do in class today.

Silvia walked into the Dueling arena to find the familar sight of a dark room, candles, and yoga mats. Making her way to her usual second row spot she sat down, hoping that she hadn't gotten too out of shape from the lack of yoga over the summer.

"Hello Professor," she greeted.

Cassia entered the classroom eagerly for she could confidently say that she is good at DADA not excellent but good. At least when the Professor will talk Cassia would understand without much of a trouble. So hopefully no blank expressions in this lesson.

The atmosphere was nice and comforting. All the candles made one easy and relaxed. Stepping closer to where the professor stood, "Good day Professor Romanos," Cassia greeted the woman then walked towards the middle of the room.

The second year chose a spot she found nice and sat down hugging her knees to her chest waiting for the start of class.

Why did this class always had something that involved candles or fire? Didn't they know that he was terrified of fire? That it was his boggart?

He eyed the candles as he shuffled inside the room. He nervously played with his thumbs as he shuffled foward, afraid that something bad would happen with all the candle lights surrounding the place.

The Slytherin sometimes wondered if a few Professor did this on purpose. But then he remembered that he had never spoken out loud that he was afraid of the fire. There was only one person left that knows about his fear in the whole school and that was...

Daichi looked around with a hopeful expression on his face before his eyes landed on the Prefect who was sitting at the front of the class. "Yes" he whispered to himself as he made his way towards Kurumi with careful steps.

He sat down on a purple mat without saying anything but continued to look at the candles with a hint of tears in his eyes.

Cora swallowed hard. She did NOT like the Defense Against the Dark Arts one bit. Perhaps she wouldn't be too bad at it this year, but Cora was doubtful. Entering the classroom tentatively, Cora noticed she didn't recognize anyone yet. That would not make things any easier.

She noticed some students already sitting on mats, so she made her way over to one as well, shaking slightly. Defense Against the Dark Arts just seemed so...dark. And as Elliot said, Cora was already too nice. DADA was scary, and destined to be a tough class for Cora, who normally couldn't hurt a fly.

To top it all off, the room was decorated in such a sinister way. It was literally dark. And there were candles. And some creepy music which may have only been creepy because Cora was already scared.

Sitting down nervously, Cora prepared for the worst. She was terrified and this was ridiculous. She is a fourth year, for crying out loud!

Sutton had been very concerned for days, ever since she first noticed Defense Against the Dark Arts on her schedule. The fact that the Dark Arts were so prominent that there needed to be a class about how to defend against them made Sutton kind of want to go back to thinking she was Muggle. At least then the scariest class she had to take was, like, public speaking.

Entering the room, the atmosphere did nothing to calm her nerves. Again, the fact that something was going to happen in this class that made it prudent for the professor to get them to relax for did not bode well for Sutton. Her eyes darted around, looking for a familiar face... Edmund, Logan, Belle? None of them seemed to be here yet. Maybe one of them would come in soon and decide to sit with her.

Shakily made her way around the room and sat down on one of the purple mats, hugging her bag to her front, preparing herself for the worst.

Dark.

That's the first thing that crossed Messer's mind when he entered the DADA classroom. Well, its not that dark either, there's candle lightning up the class but somehow he feel the darkness a bit comforting and relaxing.

The third year easily spotted Professor Romanos sitting on one of the purple mats. "Hello, Professor." he greeted the DADA Professor before he went to take a seat on one of the mats.

Had Sarah not been there before, she would have found it quite stange. "Hello Professor" she said, and then found a place on a purple mat. She wondered what she was to cover this lesson...

After straightening her skirt, Beatrice Castell stepped into the DADA Classroom, her bag cast on her shoulders. As was last term, the arena was still dark with only a few candles for light, and it presented the almost same aura too. Mats were still there for them to occupy, which likely means they'll be having yoga sessions. AGAIN. With these thoughts, she grimaced. Overstretching her limbs isn't exactly what she thought was best for her sore body, not to mention that her ribcage felt like it was going to dislodge anytime soon. That's what comes with Quidditch -- broken body parts.

"Hello Professor Romanos." the Ravenclaw smiled at the Professor before shuffling off to the back of the classroom. Right, back. Not front. Because she was certain she won't be too keen on performing any yoga stunts for this lesson, and well, staying at the back might spare her from it. She sat on a mat, placed her things by her side and waited.

Louder music, please?

Eleyna walked in the classroom, filled with nervous anxiety that felt like it was clogging her throat. She found a mat and sat on it. This reminded the young Griffyndor of her yoga-loving mother.

Eleyna still pretty much felt like the new girl. Once she took a deep breath and really started taking in, what this classroom had so far. Is when she was starting to enjoy the little things. The candles really made the classroom ambience so warm, not to mention comfortable. As the young red head watched more students enter, she couldn't help but to smile at them.

Sophie made her way to the dueling arena already expecting what she saw as soon as she stepped in. The candles, the mats, professor Romanos already sitting on her own red mat and all. What she did not expect, though, was the strange music.

Right at the time she walked in, a louder note played and she was actually startled. "Hello, professor Romanos." She greeted the older witch as her eyes widened a bit. Looking around almost suspisciously, the third year slowly made her way to sit next to Messer. "Hi, Messy!" She said in a low tone, but cheerfully.

Once she was sitting down, she placed her bag next to her and frowned, looking around the arena again. That music was SO weird!! Sounded like... an alien in the water... making bubles or something... WEIRD!

DADA. Perhaps the one and only class that Chace found he could always find amusement and focus in. Upon entering the room he looked around at the assortment of candles, getting the feeling that he was entering into one of those yoga classes that his aunt liked to hold at her house during the summer. And they were going to sit on mats? Great...

Finding an open one towards the back, and removed from the other students that were already there, Chace looked over at the Professor. "Good day Professor Romanos," Chace said with a rather welcoming smile for him. He wasn't really one on being overly friendly in any situation, since people that were always way more cheerful than the situation called for rubbed him the wrong way, but being respectful to Professors was important, so he tried his best.

Hopefully Abby would be coming and could take the mat next to him...

Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson with the yoga teacher. There had to be something interesting that would happen. Things were a little busy for Nessie at the moment, and bussy-ness meant lack of time and that meant lack of sleep. There was just too much work she had to do, and she still had to sort out her team on top of everything. She was coping alright though, even being a little more tired than usual. She knew the weekend was on it's way.

Trying not to yawn, Nessie walked into the yoga themed classroom and put on a small smile as she looked at the purple mats. Maybe yoga wasn't something she was fond of, but the purple mats...well who couldn't like them? I mean they were purple.

"Hello, Professor." said Ness with a small nod, as she looked at the Professor that was already seated on a mat. She then proceeded onwards towards one of the mats near the back.

Plomping down, the red head sat on a purple mat. It was only now she noticed there was music playing in the background. It was soft and not the kind of music Ness was used to. It didn't make her feel too energetic, in fact it made her feel sleepy. VERY sleepy and it took her exactly five minutes after sitting to close her eyes and fall asleep.

So this yoga thing again. Ariadne wasn't too fond of sports, but she had to admit, both mental and physical ability were an andvantage when dealing with Dark magic. Or any kind of magic, really. Upon entering the classroom, the first thing she did was to greet the Professor. 'Good day, Professor Romanos.' It was only polite.

Spotting some of her friends, Ariadne waved and smiled at all of them. Kurumi, Jory, Cassia, Sarah...After picking a mattress, the girl tried to determine the nature of the background music, but that was made nearly impossible by other people moving around, so she gave up and simply waited for class to start. Ari really needed to earn back the points she'd lost earlier in the week.

Kennedy made his way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with his bag slung over his shoulder. He was in a fair mood and not grumpy at all. Why would he be when he had the best girlfriend ever, eh?

Exactly.

He entered the room, not surprised by it's lighting. Kennedy had grown to actually like it. He found a mat close to the front where the professor was and dropped his bag next to it. "Good day, Professor Romanos," he greeted, flashing her a smile. Kennedy then sat down, rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, and was ready for whatever yoga move was thrown at them.

With hasty steps, the fifth year made her way to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. ‘Good day, Professor’, she greeted as she stepped in. As soon as she entered the classroom, the fifth year noticed the purple mats and the candles, arranged just like she remembered from last term. Mhm. And music was playing too…

Not paying a lot of attention to what kind of music was playing, the Ravenclaw gave a quick look around, managing to spot a few of her friends and… Ari. With a small smirk on her face, the girl approached the place where her best friend was sitting. After greeting the Gryffindor with a small nod, Gwendolyn sat down on one of the mats nearby.

Wooooaahhh.

Aidan's pace slowed the moment he entered the classroom, and he started walking more carefully. Not because of the candles and mat (he couldn't care less if he trampled over every mat on his way), but because it was all....creepy in here.

Were they gonna learn about ghouls and ghosts?! Even if they weren't all that scary, it was still cool!

The Ravenclaw made his way all the way to the front of the classroom, a smile playing on his face. He plopped down on a mat near the professor. "Hi!"

Lana wasn't really sure how she felt about Defense Against the Dark Arts, but again that never stopped her from attending the lessons each year. The verdict was still very much out still, but a small part of her was actually liking all this yoga stuff.

Entering as quietly as she could, she made her way toward the middle of where all the mats were at as she greeted her professor. "Good day, Professor."

Spotting an empty mat not too close to the front but not too far back, she sat down and set her things aside. She wasn't extremely keen on being in the front for this one. Too many people behind her to watch her every more. Nope, that would just not do at all for her.
