Wow.
Just..... wow.
Hirsch had, of course, been standing on the other side of the rooms: watching everything that was going on. He expected there to be an array of defensive strategies in place: some people would've wanted to attack first and think later, others would've come up with a plan and then attacked. What he didn't expect were the number of people who simply refused to take part.
And did Stasya offer cookies?! Did she have any on her?
Anyways.
It all seemed to turn to chaos when one Dorian Katharos, who had landed a solid right hook on the shadowy figure, screamed about being let out. Screamed, not said in his usual tone of voice. Hirsch's eyebrows shot right up and it was probably because of this that he let the door on the other side, his side of the room, open up.
Maybe this was a sign.
The Defence professor glanced down at his watch before drawing a horizontal line in the air with his wand. At once, every shuffling in the room came to an immediate stop. A flick and the doors opened up, doors that were on the other side of the doors they came in and ones that led to a much larger space. One that, they'll be happy to know, was better lit than what they were in previously. To make things slightly better, the walls for the rooms the students were in seemed to melt away, revealing very little space and a single dummy.
Figured out the source of the shuffling yet?
The larger room was empty (of course), apart from the mats that lined the floor. On the single desk on the other side of the room stood multiple glasses of water and three boxes: one of which was open and two that were closed and locked. The one box that was opened contained slabs of different kinds of Honeydukes chocolate from the very sweet to the very weird.
And who was standing next to the desk? Professor Hirsch himself.
Time to greet the class? He thought so. "Hello and welcome to another Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson," he said, clapping once to get their attention, "Before we move on with the lesson, I wanted to apologise for the activity. I know it must've been an awful, panic-driven experience but I promise that there's a reason behind it. Because of the high level of emotion, I want everyone to come up and grab a glass of water and a slab of chocolate and make yourselves comfortable on the mats. Make sure to take some deep breaths as well." This was very important.
"Firstly, I wanted to say well done on tackling the dummy in each room. Each of you had a different approach to the lack of light and I'm glad to see that you used your brains to work around the situation. It's not easy, it's never easy, but I'm glad to see so many of you being vigilant before and during the room experience. Well done!"
"Now," Dramatic pause, anyone? "I wanted to ask: what did you learn from that? What would you do differently? What could you, maybe, improve on?" Let's get those brains thinking. OOC: Look at you guys go!  That was amazing!! *so so proud kjhfdgkhdf!*
The question is super simple: what did you learn from that? What would you do differently? And what could you improve on?
I'll move the lesson on tomorrow (or later today for me *eyes time*) at 10pm GMT+1.
Thanks, you guys ^^
