A mandatory DADA lesson. Nicole wondered what it meant. She knew the definition of mandatory, but she had never heard of a lesson that everybody had to participate in. It was probably related to something bad. Possibly related to the Slytherin boy's death.
She had her wand in her bag and hopefully still had her common sense in her mind as she headed down to the DADA classroom. The first thing the Ravenclaw noticed was that there were no Professors in the room. Out of habit, she looked around with her eyes narrowed if she could feel an invisible DADA Professor ready to scare the students all of a sudden. Hogwarts had certainly taught her "constant vigilance". She understood what Oleander had meant back in the summer.
Nicole smiled at her friends Adi and Lux before she took a seat at the front of the classroom. She continued scanning the room while she waited for the lesson to begin.
