"Hi Professor Khanna!" he said happily, picking a dummy closer to them. Because they were one of his favorite professors. And just in case he needed help and the dummy was hurting him. He felt safer near professors.
And yes, his mood seemed strange for a Monday morning, but Brandon had slept really well and was ready for the week! He was a morning person. It wasn't obvious. But he always did his homework quickly and went to bed early.
Dhruv would recognise that voice anywhere. “Hello, Mr. Fox,’’ they greeted, casting the first year a smile and looking away from the dummy they were working on. This was the last dummy to be set up, so this meant they were all set for today’s fun now. “I’m glad to see you’re fully rested. That’ll come in handy soon enough.” All will be revealed in just a few!
SPOILER!!: Daniel! <3 Quote:

The Hufflepuff had a sneaking suspicion that she was going deaf.
He was present though because he refused to miss any classes unless absolutely necessary. "Hello Professor" he greeted as he passed by and walked over to the dummy next to Brandon. He gave the younger boy a curt nod before putting his hands behind his back, waiting for the activity to begin.
“Hello to you as well, Mr. Yoon.” Daniel did seem tired but Dhruv wasn’t worried about him falling asleep. In the unfortunate event that he did… well, they’d see what happened in due course. As for that haircut, the professor approved of it as much as they had approved of the long hair.
SPOILER!!: Bella! <3 Quote:

"Good morning Professor Khanna!" Bella greeted with a bright smile to their professor even though her eyes probably looked sleepy, and she had yawned just a few moments earlier. Going to stand in front of the dummy on Brandon's other side she murmured to the younger boy "Hi Brandon!" and then over to the senior boy. "Hi Daniel!" before she felt that she had her wand secured in it's holster.
Dhruv saw that yawn, Bella. But yawns were to be expected. They greeted the Slytherin as warmly as they had the others. “Ms. Connolly. Good morning. I trust you’ll be able to stay awake?” There was a wink from them.
SPOILER!!: Cassidy! <3 Quote:

Skipping like the little ray of bubbly sunshine she was, she looked at her favorite Professor and smiled. " Hiya Professor Khanna! Hope you're well!" She was probably the only student who knew about his secret and tends to keep it that way, she was good at keeping secrets. Titling her head, she looked at the dummies curiously. They weren't doing anything mean to them were they? She knew they were dummies but she didn't like doing mean things.
Two Hufflepuffs, a Slytherin and now a Ravenclaw. Cassidy was one of those students they knew well after the two had bonded earlier in the term. They appreciated how great of a secret keeper she was; more than that, they were happy to have the opportunity to prepare her against dark magic should the need arise later in her life. “Hello, Ms. Raine! I’m well, thanks.” Did she know that her bubbliness was a ray of sunshine to the actual rays the residents of the Castle were currently having?
One thing that stood out boldly when it came to Desiree was her uncanny knack of dressing quite sensibly. Dhruv was always impressed and this morning was no different. "Good morning to you, Ms. Marchand! Get that yawn out if you need to.'' They were grinning; they had seen the Hufflepuff stifle that yawn.
SPOILER!!: Norman! <3 Quote:

A morning person for most of his life, he was used to rising early. Alert and ready to help, he quietly slipped in the room. “Good morning, Dhruv,” he greeted his colleague with a nod. “Thought you could use an extra pair of eyes.”
He stood to one side, giving each student a polite nod in greeting as he passed. He was just observing for now. Not that he’d ever let on, but he was secretly enthusiastic about this little gathering. Defense Against the Dark Arts was a subject close to his heart - well, as much as it was possible for anything to be. He couldn’t wait to see how this would play out!
Dhruv was always pleased when their colleagues showed up at activities. Whether it was to participate directly, whether it was to simply observe, they were always grateful to have them there. "Good morning, Norman. Great to see you here." And looking so prepared as well! "Don't hesitate to hop into to activity yourself." They'd love to see Norman's dueling skills!

Right then.
It was time to get started. “Welcome to today’s DADA activity, everyone!” They could not help the grin taking up residence on their face as they snaked their way through the students and dummies. “As you know, these dummies are usually used for practice and with the exception of three, do not shoot back spells at the practitioner.” Key word, folks! Usually. “Today, however, there is a change to that. Each of the dummies has been modified to do just that, in addition to being able to dodge your spells. The activity ahead is a simple one: there will be three levels to it. The spells you use to advance through to each stage are completely up to you.” There was a pause to let this sink in. “Currently, the dummies are coloured…” With a wave of their wand, the dummies turned a shade of deep bronze. “Bronze. This is the basic stage, the first stage. Dummies in this category will throw spells taught in your first and second years: Curse of the Boogies, Colloshoo, Jelly Fingers Curse, Babbling Curse, The Tickling Charm etcetera. These spells will be shot at you at half a minute intervals but don’t underestimate these fellows here. They are quite agile and can easily manoeuvre to escape your spells. You will know immediately when you progress to the next level of difficulty for the dummies will freeze momentarily before changing to another colour.”
The Professor made his way to the front of the Arena now. “Wands at the ready.” They waited about five seconds. “Begin!’’ With another wave of their wand, the dummies sprang to life, their beady eyes glittering in anticipation. Though they had no wand, spells would easily be shot from their right hand. OOC: Heya, guys! The activity is pretty simple. To paraphrase: the dummies are completely bronze in colour and will shoot ONLY first year and second year spells are your students for now {you may use the links to decide which spells are shot at your character}. The dummies are agile but will ONLY do dodging and rolling to avoid spells {so no running or superhuman jumping} or throw back spells of their own {again, you are free to decide if they defend themselves with Shield Charms or other FIRST & SECOND YEAR spells}. Once defeated, they will become as still as a statue for a bit before changing colour {which will be revealed by myself  The next leg of the activity will begin on Sunday 5th March at about 10 PM EST. Have fuuun! Let the good ole creativity roll! <3 |
