Ira walked towards the Defense against Dark Arts class, clutching her bag on her shoulder.

When she entered the classroom, for a moment it almost seemed like she was in a wrong room. The dark room, the candles, the mats... theses did not signify DADA! Definitely something new was going on! Then she remembered that they had a new professor this term for DADA. So was every DADA class going to be so.. so creepy?

Anyways she entered and sat down on one of the mats. But before that she remebered to greet her new professor, "Hello Professor! Um.. I'm Ira Wilson" She had to introduce herself right?

Then she saw the parchment on which some of the students who had arrived earlier had written their names. She figured it was kind of attendance-cum-introductory sheet. So Ira too took out her quill from her bag, and wrote her name on the sheet.

And then she sat down and waited for the lesson to start.
