Strategies such as NOT screaming, listening to your prefects, and trusting in your professors AND YOUR HEADMISTRESS to keep your best interests at heart."

She forced a tense smile onto her face. "Now then, children, let's talk about making Hogwarts a safer place together. When you are in a scary or dangerous situation, what should you do? We've just gone over some scenarios that will hopefully help you better analyze the situation and what to do when, but here's a helpful acronym for you to learn and apply."

The redhead pointed her wand at the board which had been hanging empty at the front of the room all lesson. Tidy blue block letters appeared on it, spelling out:
A lert the authorities
U se teamwork
R emain calm
O nly use magic IF NECESSARY
R emember where the exits are!
"Obviously it spells out AUROR, who are some of the best people around trained in combat and DEFENSIVE magic." She made certain to emphasize the word defensive here, especially for the 'courageous' Gryffindors in the room.

"Who can elaborate on this acronym and explain what each line really means? Put it into the context of how to handle.... say, some sort of magical creature getting loose from class, if you'd like." Just as an example.[/color]


And... there went the buzzers. BLINK. So was this seminar over now or--

Nope. Okay.

Alec tilted his head as he looked at the acronym on the board. Aurors sounded like ninjas, actually. Maybe. Didn't ninjas have to be... what was it that Truebridege had said? .... Oh yeah, trained in combat and defensive magic. Ninjas couldn't do magic, though, could they? But they were still trained in combat and... and...

He had a question to answer.

Shaking his head, the boy thought about his response for a minute or two before raising his hand in the air. "See, the thing is, magic is great and all but... it can also be scary too!" He should... explain this, yeah? "I mean, you could be around a creature that, say, could be scared and might get startled by the magic. Then they could attack and... that'll just make the situation worse. And then there are the muggles." Or... were they only talking about dangerous situations in Hogwarts?

"So... you only use it when you absolutely need to. Like, if you need to alert a Professor or someone but they're too far away or you don't know where they are."

Also, Candy Girl had a good point with the ice cream break. Nodnod.
