"Something basic though, yes." "You're getting onto the right track." she nodded, smiling at the girl before her attention was diverted to the next student answering. "Yes, in a vay." she nodded. "Not...exactly, but you're on the right track." Well now, how cool would that be if it were true? "Not exactly, Mister Greingoth." she chuckled. "Though that vould be fun." "Perhaps in a later lesson, but not today." "Yes, that may come up today." she nodded. Definitely on the right track. "Ve certainly vill." Most certainly. Simple and straight to the point. "Perhaps in a later lesson, Mister Burn." It's good that it was coming up though. "It may come up." she nodded. Yup, definitely may come up, depending on where the class went today. "Ve could be." she nodded, though whether they were or not, the students would have to wait and see. She was beginning to think some students had misinterpreted her question. "Maybe." she nodded. Oh, a creative answer. "Not exactly, but good job thinking outside of the box." Malicious purposes? Sounded malicious just thinking of it. "Ve'll probably get around to all of that today, yes." She thought about it for a moment. "Maybe in a later lesson." she mused before nodding. Not quite exactly for today. "Ve might touch base vith that today, right." she nodded before moving on to the next student. "Possibly." she nodded. Oh these students and just repeating the name of the class. Medea found it kinda amusing. "Quite possible, Mister Messer." "I'm sure that vill come up." Whether it was in this lesson or another they were going to have in the following years. "Quite possible, yes." "Yes, that could possibly come up." "Yes, possibly. In a vay." Oh, another creative answer. Unfortunately..."No, not today Miss Trewhella." This one was getting onto the right track though. "Possibly." If only they knew... "Yes. Yes ve vill." Medea nodded. "Yes, ve vill be." SPOILER!!: The creepy voodoo and ghost answers Demons. "I erm..." Huh? She wasn't exactly awaiting that answer, as different as it was. "I suppose that could come up?" Doomed spirits, resurrection, more demons... "Probably not all of those." Or any of them for that matter. Even Miss Hollingberry had a particular interesting answer in which she, as the Professor, was starting to become concerned for a few of these students. "No, not...exactly." ..."No, not voodoo." For the love of Merlin... What was with these kids and demons? What Professors or past experiences had they had? "Defense techniques could be possible." Some of it was true. "No rituals." she said, shaking her head a little. There was a smile on her face though. If only to keep the concerned look off. Medea was beginning to rethink this classroom setting. "Not today, no." Or maybe ever. There was that voodoo answer again. "No, not voodoo." she said with a shake of her head. Though now, thanks to these kids, she was curious about it. Medea didn't even know how to answer that one. The girl's happy tone in comparison to what she said made the professor quite bemused. At least he wasn't silent. That was a good sign. Though this talk about the cult had her shaking her head a little. "Keeping dark magic away is a good answer." For one...don't join a cult. SPOILER!!: The smaller details answers Finally though, some of these students were a little less...creepy. While the class title was pretty much defined by the girl, the last portion had Medea nodding even more. "Yes, there is some portion about staying calm and alert that ve'll be learning." Whether it was today or the next lesson, she wasn't quite sure. Good, good. She was beginning to think demons was the only answer she was going to get out of a dark room. "You're on the right track, Miss Lockwood. "You're also on the right track, Miss Greingoth." There was that second Greingoth in the class. Where was the first one again? "Ve'll be talking a little about it, yes." "In a way..." she nodded. Oh wait. He added that part about dark creatures. "In...in a way." She'll just leave it at that. "Yes, ve'll be getting to that." Whether today or the next lesson, it was undecided as of yet. "Ve most certainly vill." she smiled, before moving on to the next student answering. Through an obstacle? "In a vay, yes." Taking a deep breath, Medea quickly put her hair up with the tie she had around her wrist before slowly exhaling. Right. Some of these students had questionable minds, but all in all, she was rather pleased with their thoughts so far. One of the students though had her nodding a bit more and her smile grew a little. Those were the words she'd been hoping to hear one of the kids say. While it wasn't the only thing they'd be learning, it was a topic they'd be going over throughout the year.
"Those vere some good answers. Some of them being a bit more questionable then others...but good." She could be keeping an eye on those students. In fact, as she spoke, she wrote a few things down on her parchment. "For those of you who do not know, I am Professor Romanos, and if you haven't guessed already, I'll be teaching your defense against the dark arts class."
"Today though, you von't be really learning anything new per say, but this is mostly for my benefit. It'll be a review of vot you know already, so I know where you all are at during the present time." She'd heard there had been circumstances in the past which halted their learning. "Ve may also be talking about vot some of you had mentioned, and vot Miss Wilson had perfectly suggested. While ve vill be discussing about defending ourselves vithout the sense of sight, ve vill also be touching base vith the other four sense of sound, touch, taste, and smell whether it be in this lesson, or another."
"But today, it's mostly review. I'll try and make it as fun as possible though, which is why ve're sitting on these mats. A few of you mentioned yoga. So, now that you're all comfortable...it's time to move. Everyone, sit up straight, in the lotus position..." And if they didn't know what that was, they could just copy what she was doing. "And while you do that, who can tell me one thing they know about the Dark Arts? Just one." Lotus Position 
Yay, so they would be learning that later! Vlimia knew all about being calm yet alert. Wait - REVIEW?!? First-years had nothing to review! Well, she had the Unforgivables, but she did not want to review that. And yoga. Well, that made perfect sense; review and yoga.
Vlimia reluctantly did the Lotus Position, even though she didn't exactly think it was necessary. And now they were moving on to talking about the Dark Arts. Vlim knew a lot about the Dark Arts... but only one thing? Aww... way to rain on Vlimia's Dark Art Knowledge parade. Despite being rained on (metaphorically), she raised her hand. Once chosen, Vlim said "I know that there are three Unforgivable curses: The Imperio Curse, The Cruciatus Curse and the... Killing Curse." She said the last one in a bit of a rush, since it made her think of her cat... she didn't want to think about it. Maybe listing them was a little over-the-top... but if she knew it, why not share it? At least, that was what her Aunt Ivy told her!
