Sabel looked around at all the gathered students, checked the door and decided it was probably time to get the show on the road. Hoping off the crate, he moved to stand beside his patronus. "Good morning everyone. In case you haven't guessed, we have some interesting things to do today, so let's get started."
With a flick of his wrist, his wand was out and the doors to the classroom were shut. Latecomers would have to decide whether they wanted to join in or skip. What mattered to him, were the students currently gathered. He cast his gaze around at them for a moment before taking a seat on the floor in front of them, at their level. Crossing his legs, he considered the first row, and the faces behind. "Before we get into the bulk of our lesson, I'd like to have a brief discussion. It's come to my attention through experience and various encounters, that the Dark Arts, Dark Magic and Dark Wizards are all found to be intriguing and fascinating topics, worthy of curiosity and exploration. Especially in the younger generations." As in, younger than him. "Can I ask you why? Or if you might have any thoughts as to why." He glanced at a few of the suspicion bearing children. "These answers will not be relayed to any 'higher authority' or get you in trouble. I ask, because I don't know."
Fancy that, a Professor who didn't know something. Now students, time to enlighten. ----------------------------------- OOC: Class has started!! (Sorry for the delay, work >.O)
If you are late arriving, please feel free to just jump right in as if your character has always been here!
I'll try to post again in 10-12 hours, if not Class will move forward in approximately 20-24 hours .[/QUOTE]
Benzi was seated at the front of the little group, and listening attentively. Having walked in to be greeted with THIS classroom, he knew they were finally going to get to the proper stuff he's been waiting for.
Also, bitter looks had been thrown at the otter patronus. He'd momentarily thought that perhaps the lesson would be about patronuses today, but why already get upset and worked up if he didn't actually know for sure? So Benz would assume it would be about anything else and shifted to get comfortable. No patronuses today, please. Please and thank you.
He cocked his head to the side as he thought about Professor Dakest's question, and nodded as answers started flying around him. Most of them were right........... Er. Crazy eyes, you got something to share with the class? And since when was that crazy hair?! Benzi eyed Eden after she spoke, but after a few moments of consideration realised she was probably right and nodded at her. Yup. Benzi and Crazy Eyes were in agreement. ... Perhaps about the hair as well. it looked kind of cool. BUT, back to DADA. All it really takes if a few steps in the wrong direction. That was something he'd definitely be thinking about later. "I think I agree with the curiosity for the unknown. It's dark, it's dangerous, we don't know much about it but we DO know that it is capable of far worse things than just killing," Benzi raised his hands, thinking while talking. "There's just something stupidly exhilarating about that... And, right, so learning about the dark arts and dark wizards themselves is fascinating in and of itself, but then learning that we can actually beat them? They're so good with magic, the dark arts are incredibly strong and potent, and then learning that we can counter that with good magic? I think that's the best part."
Had he gone off topic? Whoops. He liked this subject a lot, he could talk about it all day.
