Standing to the side, Rosalyn listened carefully as Kaysha took over the lesson. While there weren't many people enthused with hearing about Carlotta Pinkstone, there was a reason why she had been brought up and hopefully the students were paying attention to this. Notes were important, which is why she sent a smile towards Melbourne for offering hers to Zoryn. Those points were well earned.

"Your apology is accepted, Miss Valentine," she seconded. She and Kay were trying very hard to steer this lesson away from heated debate, and so far it was working fairly well. Whatever had come between her and Katy would hopefully be resolved. The fact of the matter was that this was a topic that could get heated rather quickly. That didn't change the fact that it was something that the students should know about. This was an important part of wizarding history.

It was no real shock to Rosalyn when the can of worms that was the IMPS was brought up by some of the students. While she herself had a problem with the third challenge, that was only because of the way that challengers responded to seeing their loved ones in such a state. The fact of the matter was that there had been complete consent before the challenge was performed and no way that anyone would get badly injured or killed. Kay had said things in the exact way that she would. So long as it was understood that no one was kidnapped and no real muggles were used for the first challenge, hopefully the students would feel relieved and not worry about this anymore.

Most of the students were up to giving their opinions on the scenario though there were a few who didn't seem up to it. Miss Spinnet in particular seemed to be in a sour mood, and it was probably because of what Kay had said to her. That was sad, but her friend had only said it to try and be helpful. There was no way that Kay would ever have done anything like that just to be mean and spiteful. She sent the girl an encouraging smile, hoping that she would calm down and be more willing to participate. If not that was completely fine too; they were running a bit low on time anyway, though there was still enough time for her to give them a few more scenarios to think about.

She smiled at the class. "Great job, everyone! It seems that most of you would perform magic in the first one while doing nothing in the second one. A muggle in danger certainly falls under Clause Seven of the Decree, while of course performing magic in the second scenario would most likely land you in Azkaban." So basically they were paying attention and that was always a GOOD thing. After pausing for a moment, she continued. "There are two more scenarios to go, and since Miss Phillips has raised a good question, let's use hers for one of them." Rosalyn had prepared something else, but she thought it would be nice to use something that one of the students had offered up.

"Scenario three: You are walking in a deserted street at night and out of nowhere a tough looking muggle comes up to you intending to do harm. Would you perform magic to save yourself? Or would you do something else that doesn't involve revealing yourself?" More or less what Miss Phillips was driving at as far as protecting oneself from a muggle. While Kay had explained that magic could be used in said circumstances, it was good to gauge what the students would do in that situation. Because really they could do either and this would fall under personal beliefs.

"Scenario four: You find out that one of your muggle friends has become very sick. They have a disease that unfortunately there is no muggle cure for. Would you expose yourself and use your magical abilities to cure them?"

It was going to be interesting to hear what everyone had to say! "As with the first two scenarios you can respond to one or both of them." Or none at all as had been the case with some people. Really they wanted to hear opinions on this.

OOC: Loving all the responses. You are all making this such a fun lesson.

There is just this next set of scenarios and then it's a wrap! You have another 24 hours to get posts in before we are finished! Anyone who hasn't given their opinions for the first set of situations can still do so.
