Default DADA Lesson Two

Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson Two


Regardless of the chilly weather during the winter season and the cool stone colored tones of the room, the dueling arena was comfortably warm. The arena itself would perhaps look different to some of the older students if they were able to get a look at it in the past. The dueling platform, target dummies, and even the stands were moved around in different locations, pushed to the side mostly, leaving a nice big empty space in the middle of the room. In that space were the familiar deep purple colored mats from the previous lesson lined up accordingly, including the deep red colored mat up at the front in-between the stands where Professor Romanos was currently seated, and in front of each purple mat was something that looked like a miniature tray. There won't be any food during the lesson unfortunately, but these trays will be acting as your desks. Unlike the last lesson, the room is illuminated and practically glowing from the winter sunlight streaming through the windows, giving the area a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Perhaps even make a few sleepy, but never fear. There will be no time to sleep during this class. And do ignore the added doorway in the back of the room. As strange as it's placement is, no one is allowed back there.


OOC: Please come in and take a seat on one of the mats [and be familiar with the rules and expectations]. The lesson will begin in about 12 18 hours or so.

Class has officially begun! Please don't post arriving late. Jump in as if your character has been here the entire time.

Final Task
Use of the Disarming and Shield Charms ONLY.

1st - 4th Years = No sense of SOUND
5th - 7th Years = No sense of SIGHT. You are all blindfolded.

It is alright to be disoriented and not get things right on the first couple of tries. Perhaps your aim is off or you can't say the spell correctly because you can't hear yourself speak. No one is perfect. It is okay. The Professor will be keeping a close eye on things, so please, no fatal injuries. And perhaps no drastic damage to the arena either. It's rather sturdy.

I'll give you a few days to RP, and we'll come to a close on things around the 13th.

She liked that wand a lot, and was always careful with it.

Daisy gaped at LuLu for a second, but grinned when she saw she was ok. 'I thought I'd used the wrong spell by accident then,' she said, bracing herself for LuLu's turn.

Zoom!


Daisy laughed softly as her wand flew out of her hand as her partner effortlessly casted the spell. 'We're both getting quite a lot better... Do you think we're allowed to do any other spells?' She asked LuLu.

She nodded back at her tightening her grip on her wand ''Well once or twice but I'm no master,'' she replied shrugging ''That's great then!'' she grinned back at her

''Nah.. I'm kinda dramatic some times,'' KINDA? HA!!!! She giggled

''Yeah, she said to start the shield charm now,''

Minerva was about to say the shield charm when she heard the professor begin to talk. She dodged to the right to avoid Justin's spell and smiled at him. Listening to the Professor she moved a bit further from the rest of the group giving Justin and herself enough room. Taking away sound. Well as long as she could see him that shouldn't be an issue, right? She looked back at Justin wondering if he would try to trick her while she had no hearing..

Justin followed suit and spread out putting alot more distance between them. Then turning around he nodded for her to begin. He would be on the receiving end of her skill.

Jacques had his wand in his left hand already so when she said he could take his wand out he frowned at her, puzzled, his wand was already out. He released his fist and readied himself "I am." Tayla seemed unsure about dueling with him which was unnecessary and irrational since they were only practicing but that was how women were, no matter the age. Irrationality was what they embodied. Perhaps he should start, he nodded to her and stomped to bring her attention to his feet then flicked his wand hand to begin the incantation, his thought was however cut off by Professor Romanos. He didn't take his eyes from her but it seemed already their little practicing session was over and all the older students would be the main focus.

He bowed to her and walked away finding spot where he could watch the action without being in the way, he was small though so he knew he would be blocked eventually so he shuffled through them. No one would take notice of him there but hopefully no one pushed because he'd just fall

She gripped her wand, made a small d shaped motion as she said, "Expelliarmus!" forcefully. A little quiver of light shot out of the end of her wand but didn't do anything. Sighing, Lily get ready again focusing harder on what she had to do. "Expelliarmus!" This time the beam of light was stronger as it headed towards the other Ravenclaw, but it definitly didn't seem like enough to knock a wand out of someone's hand, maybe not even move it. "Did you want to try now? and we can switch back and forth so that we both get a chance to try it..." Lily asked, getting out of the attacking stance.
"Okay, sure then." Violet raised up her wand and cried out, "Expelliarmus!" Nothing came out of her wand, but it was a good try. I wonder if she knows how to do the protego spell?. Then, Violet heard the professor give out more instructions for the next activity. So she and Lily were going to have their hearing blocked out? That was a scary thought to think about, but at the same time, it was a good learning skill during the DADA lesson. Violet looked around the room to see how much space she had, and she was content that she was out of harm's way from the other students and a good distance between herself and her partner. Violet looked over at her and smiled nervously with what they were about to do. "I wonder how the professor is going to block our hearing?"she called over to Lily.

As the final few were spreading out, Medea started to move to the left side of the room. Before she started to taking away senses though, she made sure to start with instructions. Would be no use for her to speak when the younger students couldn't hear a thing. "Older students, try and remember where your partner stands as of this moment, and please, all of you, do not move around too much from your spot." She didn't need someone walking into the line of someone else's spell. "Remember! Use just the disarming and shield spells only. Any other spell used vill result in punishment. Last but not least, have fun vith this."

Smiling and moving from student to student, she either tapped each side of their head near their ears with a nonverbal spell to make them momentarily deaf to surrounding noises or she used the more known obscuro spell to blindfold the older students. Once she was done, she hopped up to the dueling platform so she had a better view of everyone in the room, and they had a better view of her.

"Again. JUST the disarming and shield spells." Older students would have heard her. Younger students, not so much. "You may start!" She held two thumbs up to benefit the students that couldn't hear her as a signal to go.

What?! She was being placed with the babies?! Sierra frowned at that, but seeing as she apparently had a choice, she raised her hand. "Professor? Would I be able to do this the other way around? Go with the sightless people, maybe?" she asked. She lowered her hand and pointed to her partner. "We both ended up in the same group anyway--first to fourth years."

For a second she saw something appear in front of her and smiled but just as quickly it had disappeared, allowing Messer's disarming charm to hit her and make her wand go flying. "Oh merlin." she said with a sigh. She bent down to pick up her wand and looked at Messer with a shrug. "Must not have been concentrating enough! That was a nice shot though! Mind if I go again?"

"Alright. Everyone." Attention over here! She waited until they did so before continuing on. "Ve don't have that much time left in the class and I do vont to get to the portion where ve discussed taking away one sense. You all are doing very vell vith your spells, so I have no doubt that you'll be able to pull this off. I vos initially going to go through each separately, but for now since the lack of time, I'll be dividing you all up. First through fourth years, you'll have your sense of sound taken away, while fifth through seventh years, you'll be blindfolded to take away your sense of sight."

Fun, wasn't it? "Don't vorry. If you don't vont to do this, just raise your hand and tell me. Or if your preference is the other vay around, let me know.

Messer was kinda shocked when his spell hit Ella. He thought that Ella would managed to do the Shield Charm since she was pretty good with the Disarming Charm earlier. Then his partner said that she didn't concentrate enough. Yeah that must be it.

Then when the young badger was about to answer Ella's question about giving another shot, Professor Romanos said that she's dividing them up so that mean partner time is over? "I guess we should go to where the first through fourth year are?" he asked Ella.

Nate saw his partner. He waited a few moments. Then he was ready to cast the spell. He said "Expelirmus." Nothing happened. Nate started to get a bit confused. He said it right didn't he. Then he thought wait I didn't hear me say it. That's why I can't hear me say it so I just assumed I did it right. But obviously I didn't do it right or else something would've happened.

Not that ending in the same group mattered, if she wanted to lose her sight instead, Medea had no problem with it. "Of course." Aaaaand queue the momentary forget that the girl couldn't hear a thing, much less hear HER speak. Countering her previous spell, she cast the obscuro instead. Blindfolded! "Better?"

She raised her wand,"Expelliarmus." She said pointing at his and saw nothing happened and she wondered why. At the same time she wondered why she could not hear anything either.

Lily stood still as Violet was attempting to disarm. When it didn't work, Lily kinda nodded, but then heard the professor speak up. "I guess we will find out soon." Lily called back before she saw the professor getting ready to speak.

Once the professor had come around and made Lily temporarily deaf, Lily tested it out. "Woah..." Lily said not hearing anything. This is really neat... I can't hear anything. Lily turned towards the professor waiting to be told to go. She could see the professor's mouth moving but couldn't hear anything. Then she saw the thumbs up. That must mean go Lily thought as she turned back towards Violet. Giving her a thumbs up, Lily hoped to get her attention. She then pointed at Violet and then gave her the 1 signal with her pointer finger, trying to tell Violet to go first.

Oh. Good. Now she wasn't stuck with the babies anymore. Fourth years really shouldn't be in the same group as the ickles firsties anyway. "Thank you, Professor," Sierra confidently said, proud to now be a part of the older group, with the more experienced duelers.

...but then a moment later, the whole room went dark, and Sierra heard nothing at all. She waited a moment, hoping the professor would realize what happened, but then she never regained her sight of sound. WHAAAAAA. *insert panic*

Sierra spun around then, and accidentally stumbled over her own two feet. Was she even near the professor anymore?! If she'd spun completely around, which she was sure she had, she was now facing her partner, right? Right. Little did she know, but she was facing the exact direction the professor was in. "Expelliarmus!" she said, giving her wand a 'd' motion.

Jen glanced over and saw the disappointed look on the students face. She didn't really care where she was placed. She walked over with her partner.

Oakey stood still has the professor tapped his head twice making him momentarily deaf.

Then Professor Romanos hopped up onto the stage and started giving what might have been instructions. Oakey couldn't hear them though...PROFESSOR! WHAT DID YOU SAY? Oakey shouted unaware that he was doing so. He assumed it was something about what spells they were allowed to use, but wanted to make sure.

Ya, it would make sense if the people who all lost their sight went togeather. She said to the Professer. So her partner wanted to loose her sight, that was cool, Olivia would rather loose her hearing then be blinded anyway.

"Older students, try and remember where your partner stands as of this moment, and please, all of you, do not move around too much from your spot." She didn't need someone walking into the line of someone else's spell. "Remember! Use just the disarming and shield spells only. Any other spell used vill result in punishment. Last but not least, have fun vith this."

Smiling and moving from student to student, she either tapped each side of their head near their ears with a nonverbal spell to make them momentarily deaf to surrounding noises or she used the more known obscuro spell to blindfold the older students. Once she was done, she hopped up to the dueling platform so she had a better view of everyone in the room, and they had a better view of her.

"Again. JUST the disarming and shield spells." Older students would have heard her. Younger students, not so much. "You may start!" She held two thumbs up to benefit the students that couldn't hear her as a signal to go.




OOC: Use of the Disarming and Shield Charms ONLY.

1st - 4th Years = No sense of SOUND
5th - 7th Years = No sense of SIGHT. You are all blindfolded.

It is alright to be disoriented and not get things right on the first couple of tries. Perhaps your aim is off or you can't say the spell correctly because you can't hear yourself speak. No one is perfect. It is okay. The Professor will be keeping a close eye on things, so please, no fatal injuries. And perhaps no drastic damage to the arena either. It's rather sturdy.

I'll give you a few days to RP, and we'll come to a close on things around the 13th.

...but then a moment later, the whole room went dark, and Sierra heard nothing at all. She waited a moment, hoping the professor would realize what happened, but then she never regained her sight of sound. WHAAAAAA. *insert panic*

Sierra spun around then, and accidentally stumbled over her own two feet. Was she even near the professor anymore?! If she'd spun completely around, which she was sure she had, she was now facing her partner, right? Right. Little did she know, but she was facing the exact direction the professor was in. "Expelliarmus!" she said, giving her wand a 'd' motion.
Olivia suddenly went deaf and paniced for a moment, when she came to her sences, she saw her partner spinning arround. Hahaha Olivia laughed when she cast expelliarmus at the professer just dont loose any points!. Holly Merlin, Olivia couldnt here herself talk! How would she know if she even did! She did not intervene with the spell cause she wanted to see the professers reaction, and diddnt want to loose points.

She didn't have too much time to consider, either way, as she noticed the flick in her peripheral vision and t urned back to her partner to see that he'd taken his wand out finally.

She raised an eyebrow a little at his drawn out word, and shifted her grip on her own wand to be ready to use it when necessary. Especially because she wasn't stupid. He was obviously trying to take her off guard, being one of those typical Slytherins that irritated Matt so much. Stereotypes, but it was just as obvious that he thought she wasn't going to be prepared. Dropping her wand hand momentarily, she watched the red flash of light just miss, then brought her wand back up in the tight d movement Professor Romanos requested, aiming for his wand. "Expelliarmus!," she cast, smiling a little as she waited to see if her spell would hit.

Had he really missed? Mweh. He shrugged to himself. Sometimes he lost his concentration just like that. Maybe, if he hadn't been so occupied with cautioning her first that he was shooting, he could have hit her while she was watching the commotion. Oh well. At least no one could say he hit her from her back or anything, like she probably expected.

And now it was her tu--she hit him! Not physically, but she didn't even say she was going to cast the spell. The Brazilian tried to hold the wand, of course, but it was of no use and it was gone away in that room somewhere. Nevertheless, he nodded at her for her good work. He wasn't going to smile or anything, of course, because he wasn't pleased that she had lost his wand, but at least he acknowledged it. "I'd, er, better look for my wand." Yeah. There seemed like hundrends of people were in the room suddenly. And he hadn't even watched where it went.

...with all these wands flying around, it was impossible to find his. He had to run from getting hit, of course, or be prepared for people falling over. Then there was the threat of getting hit by a spell of those little brats who obviously thought magic was casting fires. The professor announced it was time to practise Protego, and his wand was still lost. Maybe he should just take that Stella girl's wand, since SHE lost it. Stupid Ravenclaws for being good at magic.

After a few more minutes' search, he finally found it somewhere near the windows. He sighed in relief that it was still one piece and made his way towards Stella, just in time for that... blindfolded game or something of that sort. Such fun.

"So, yeah, we couldn't really practise Protego." He paused, looking around thoughtfully. "But I guess you're good at it too," at least, HE certainly was, "so are we being blindfolded now?" He'd rather pass, thank you. He wasn't going to be bloody blind in a duel, at most, he would just lose his wand and be killed.

Watching all of the older students battle the dummies and (to some) each other, Anna was a bit nervous to go up and try to disarm the dummy by herself. It seemed that everyone was in little secluded groups and Anna was all by her lonesome. She took out her wand at the ready and then noticed that there was a an empty dummy on the other side. She walked over to it carefully avoiding everyone else's spells flying through the air. She looked around as she saw upperclassmen trying to disarm the dummies blinded folded and she saw a few other underclassmen trying to mute their's. She got to the dummy and pointed her wand at it, then she was about the shout by no words came from her mouth... she forgot what the spell was! Oh no! She thought to herself as she looked around frantically for her Professor.

"Hey." she said. "The incantation is 'Protego' not 'Shield'" said her and tried not to laugh. But she couldn't.

"That's okay." she continued. "Pick your wand and attack me, and I'll show you the shield charm."
"Oh.. sorry I forgot, I think," Zhenya said, about the shield charm.
She picked up her wand and pointed it at Raven and said "EXPELLIARMUS," and she felt confident about it. But would Raven's shield charm be better than her disarming spell? Probably...

She went to try it again but heard the Professor address them.

"Alright. Everyone." Attention over here! She waited until they did so before continuing on. "Ve don't have that much time left in the class and I do vont to get to the portion where ve discussed taking away one sense. You all are doing very vell vith your spells, so I have no doubt that you'll be able to pull this off. I vos initially going to go through each separately, but for now since the lack of time, I'll be dividing you all up. First through fourth years, you'll have your sense of sound taken away, while fifth through seventh years, you'll be blindfolded to take away your sense of sight."

Fun, wasn't it? "Don't vorry. If you don't vont to do this, just raise your hand and tell me. Or if your preference is the other vay around, let me know. As for now, I'd advise you and your partner to take a few more steps away from everyone just for safety. I'll be keeping a lookout in case any spells go off course. So, spread out some more. There is enough room in here."



OOC: I'll give you guys a few hours to spread out, and then we'll get to the dueling portion.

She looked at Raven, worried. But she needed to hear! She looked around the room to make sure that they were a good enough distance away from others.

Since he saw nothing come out of her wand he tried again. He pointed his wand at hers and said "Expllimus." He knew he was closer because sparks flew out. Anyways now he waited for his opponent to try again.

Then when the young badger was about to answer Ella's question about giving another shot, Professor Romanos said that she's dividing them up so that mean partner time is over? "I guess we should go to where the first through fourth year are?" he asked Ella.
Ella nodded at Messer after hearing the professor speaking. "Okay yeah, guess we should." No sense of sound huh? This is scary, she thought. She held her wand up as the lack of sound really started to freak her out. Now what?

Alyssa felt the Professor tap her on the head with her wand and then everything became total silence. She could see people talking because their mouths were moving but she couldnt hear a thing. Alyssa started to panic before she realized that this was part of the lesson.

So she kept a look all around and waited to see who would be sending spells her way.

"Expelliarmus." She said though she could not hear herself but she saw the spell go toward his wand when she pointed at it.

Nate saw the spell coming towards him. He said "Portegio." He saw that nothing happened. When the spell hit he grabbed his wand from the air. He then gt ready again. He said "Expelliarmus." Nate saw that the spell must've worked because he saw it heading for her wand.
