"Gather round, gather round." He waited a moment for the ones further away to move closer. "Right then, first lesson you'll learn here, late students will not be permitted into the classroom. You've all found yourself on the right side of the door and it would do you well to keep finding yourself on the right side of it." At current, the door was sealed shut magically. It wouldn't open until it needed to be. "Nothing any of you need to concern yourself with today." No, they were present and accounted for.

With the door closed, the lantern in his hand was essentially the only light source. The cloud settling over the moon hadn't moved an inch. It would be doing them no favours ~~this morning~~ tonight.

"I'd like everyone to take a look around." It was obvious they weren't in a classroom at the moment, yes, but had they been taking any real note of their surroundings? How many of them considered the setting and were already actively thinking about the lesson's possibilities? Coming in and chatting with friends was alright (when kept in check), but surely it could wait. This was time for learning.

"Tell me an issue or outright danger you can run into while travelling through this sort of terrain, especially but not limited to it being nighttime." Basically, what could go wrong?

OOC: The class has officially begun! At this point, if you post your character arriving they will be punished. More to the point, the door is sealed shut so they wouldn't be able to get in. If you missed the arrivals, that's fine! Jump in and pretend your charrie was there the whole time. I'll be moving the class along in about 26 - 28 hours from the point of this post.

Malachi looks around before raising his hand and answering with slight hesitancy. "Anything could be dangerous in an unknown place, poisonous plants, pit falls, weather and animals. Sometimes even other people depending on how long your here, exspecially without food and clean water..."

The Headmaster wouldn't even begin to consider the implication of her light statement. Again, not his business, and he didn't wanna know. Noooope. "The lights will remain off. Anyone who doesn't wanna risk injury will remain focused on the lesson and not each other." He replied with a casual, one shouldered shrug. That was the official warning for everyone. Hopefully they were paying attention. Once the lesson started, it was serious business. In and out like an earlier student. Merlin he knew the setting was jarring but he didn't think he'd see it twice. For the record, it was as amusing the second time. If nothing else, at least they were alert. Acutely aware that the current setting was vastly outside of the norm even for a magical lesson. Daytime until you walked inside. "Good day, Ashburry-Hawthorne." Like the Head Girl, he was so far basically the only name he knew and it was mostly because of the circumstances. Head Boy and Head Girl, his primary link to the students. If it took him a while to learn anyone else's name, he'd learned theirs. He'd learned a little extra about this one, but he was the sort to see things for himself and wouldn't prematurely hold anything against the young man. That feast, he didn't know he's bright idea it was, but it wasn't likely his and that was enough. ... ...... ......Okay then. "You're not late." Just so she wouldn't have a full on heart attack after what he imagined was a mad dash to get here. "Take a breath, they're free." Malachi looked the girl over, uncertain he understood her rush. She owned a watch, yeah? No? There were a few clocks around the castle. "I do encourage better time awareness....might save you all....this, in future." She could have his watch if she wanted--he'd duplicate it. Aaaaand it was time. With a flick of his wand, the door to the defense classroom swung shut.
