It might come as a relief to notice that the location of the Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson is in its usual place. After all, trying to do a lesson outside in the April showers just wasn't worth it.

Despite the weather, the classroom looked bright and well-lit, giving you the chance to notice the things that were in the room and the things that weren't. No desks, no chairs and not even Hirsch's desk stood in this room. In fact, it was lacking so many pieces of equipment that it almost made the room look bigger.

Something that might surprise you is the lack of mats or cushions in this room as well. Instead, the floor of the classroom seemed to be softer than usual, as if extra padding had been added to it and thereby making it comfortable enough to sit on.

But the biggest change in the room? Rocks.

Standing on the other side of the room and where Hirsch's desk should've been were an array of rocks. The rocks ranged in size: from the smallest ones that you could hold under your arm, to the larger ones that were almost the size of an average fifth year. The largest rock was a gigantic one that had the smoothest exterior by far and almost reached up to the ceiling itself. The more observant people might notice something purple sitting at the very top of the rock but that's not something to concern yourselves with now.

Hirsch himself can be seen leaning against the largest rock, looking as cool and collected as ever and waiting for, well, you.

So come in, make yourselves comfortable and wait for the lesson to start.
