SPOILER!!: Bloom!

After the previous interference from Roo, Olivia was able to give her new friend her undivided attention once more. Even as she herself continued to fool around with the clay lump. Maybe she'd go for a star, since she wanted to be a huge star someday. INSPIRATIONAL. Motivational... Ooooh, or maybe she'd mold a pointe shoe.

AWW, YAS. She was TOTALLY going to make a pointe shoe. FIGHT US.

.... But also. "You're a fabulous artist!" Liv gushed over her sketch, even though she might've been overdoing it just a bit, but still... Talent needed to be nurtured! "So, it's basically a pot? I--..."

Professor Hirsch was starting the lesson. OOPS.

He glanced over at the door before taking out his wand and giving it a flick. The door shut, resonating a small SNAP through the classroom. If that wasn't a cue for the chatter to die down, he didn't know what was.

"Welcome to another Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson! Today, as you may have noticed, I'm joined by someone else. This," he said, gesturing towards Angelo, "is Angelo Toussaint. He's a member of the YATI program in the Ministry and is going to give his own insight on the topic we're going to discuss today." Because an Auror's - or YATI's - insight was what was needed.

"You may have also noticed the lump of clay on each of your desks. Try and mould it into whatever object you want it to be. You can do this while we discuss a few topics today and by the time we move onto the bulk of the lesson, you should have your object ready." He paused to look over at those who hadn't even touched their lump of clay yet. Go on, it wasn't cursed.

"Now!" Hirsch said, giving his hands a single clap as he started to walk slowly around the classroom. "This is, obviously, a subject where you learn to defend yourselves against the Dark Arts but........." Dramatic pause, anyone? "What exactly are the Dark Arts? And who decides that they're dark or, in some cases, illegal?" Let's get those brains working, okay?

Shifting back a bit, Liv began wishing super hard that she'd brought her quick quotes the class. Fudge! Blaise had went through the trouble of purchasing it for her... and her hands were too busy for notes at the moment.

Man.

Okay. That.... It would be okay. She'd get them from Char later.

"The Ministry of Magic, our government, decides what's illegal." As far as what made magic DARK, well, that was a bit more complicated to explain, wasn't it? There were obvious super dark spells like the Unforgivables, but then there were less severe ones like jinxes and hexes, that were used in everyday instances like Dueling Club. Maybe it was just that the intention of those spells were meant to cause harm? But then again, intention was everything, right?

Her mum had taught her that.

"Sir, I think in a way, WE decide what's dark. If we intend for magic to really hurt someone, then that's what it is in that instance. Even if its textbook definition doesn't imply that it is." She LOVED this class. This subject. YAS!

Ohh so she's a Gryffindor ! now i really hope she didn't read my mind just now. i must check at the library afterward Finally she resumed talking and turned to ask Bloom to show her how the handi was. " i'm not sure if showing you would work , since i'm not good at moulding... well i think i can show you in another way". and like this Bloom took a sheet of paper, drew a small jar , deep with a wide mouth curved a little outwardly ,added vertical lines to it and showed it to her.
