"Good day Professor Lawson!" Miranda greeted with a wave, walked to the right side of the room, sat down at the front of the classroom to see better and took out her wand.
What indeed will happen today? Quote:

Must remember to get the kids names during the lesson. Quote:

Smiling at the professor, Raiden inclined his head, pulled his bag off his shoulder, and pulled his wand from the side-pocket of said bag before putting it against the wall. Moving toward the front of the class, he found a chair and sat down.
"Hello Professor," he said, eyes naturally surveying the classroom for threatening things. Professor Kazimeriz's classes were still... a fresh memory. "Hello young man." He watched exactly where the kid withdrew his wand from and nodded to himself. Quote:

"Hello Professor," she said as she finally took her seat. "Good day to you." Quote:

It looks great in here!" and then headed to the edge to put her purple bag down...she reached into the special pouch on the edge her cloak that kept her wand safe but in easy reach and went out on the floor to join the other students..she had a seat towards the front and waiting for things to get started. "Thank you Satine and it's good. Howzit it with you?" Quote:

Her Defence against the Dark Arts book was one of those currently irretrievable because of the water flooding the Dungeons, so any lesson where she wouldn't have to ask other students or teachers for books was a positive thing. She was a little wary of DADA practicals, though. It wasn't something she was especially good at.
After greeting the professor, Kiri went off to the side of the classroom and deposited her bag on the ground, bending down to pull out her wand. She spotted Raiden on a chair a couple of metres away from her, so, equipped with only her wand as instructed, she walked over and sat down next to him, smiling and saying Hello quietly. Marcus nodded at the young girl as she entered. Quote:

Anna would have taken a seat, but all the chairs seemed to have been removed. Ahh, a practical lesson! Interesting, indeed! "Good day, Professor Lawson," she said, moving to stand at some point in the middle of the room.
She glanced up and noticed the lanterns hung from the ceiling, then she glanced over to the side and took in the sight of suits of armor placed into the corners of the room. As she was told, Anna put her bookbag, along with her textbook, to the side. Her wand was already in her hands, so she didn't need to pull it out. Marcus was impressed, she was the only student who had bothered to take in her surroundings. "Good day to you Miss Greingoth." Oh yeah it would have looked bad if he didn't know the Head Girl's name.

"Sir, you have my wand," he said bluntly. "I want... it... back... need it for the lesson, ain't it?" he said, trying to keep his voice down, looking pointedly at another wall. Not at Lawson.
For the man was evil. "Ah yes Mr Upstead." Marcus reached into his pocket and pulled out Jacob's wand. "Yes you will be needing it. And watch the attitude or I will make an example of you." he gave the kid a smile as he handed over his wand. Quote:

When it didn't happen he frowned before stepping into the room, his soft blue eyes searching out the room. The tables were gone, replaced only with chairs. shrugging he walked over to the wall, placing his bag on the floor. Bending down, he put his stash of chocolate frogs in the bag before retrieving his wand, holding it carefully in his left hand before standing and walking over to a free chair, his eyes staring in shock at the professor.
"Hello professor." He said politely, nodding his head in the old man's direction as he got comfortable on the chair, curious. "Hello there." Marcus inclined his head back to the student. Quote:

Another raised eyebrow at the Ravenclaw student. Was he invisible or something? No greeting from the young man? He watched him retrieve his wand...not bad. Quote:

Her eyebrows shot up upon taking in the interior of the classroom which only consisted of a great number of chairs, the teacher's desk, a couple of lanterns hanging from the ceiling and a few suits of armor. Okay...
Giving Professor Lawson a friendly nod and a "Good day, professor" Nancy placed her bag against the nearest wall and now only with her wand to carry took a seat on a nearby chair, waiting for further students to arrive. "Good day to you." Oh another observant one, very good. Quote:

So it was with mixed apprehension and excitement that she approached the door of the classroom today, but she stopped in the doorway, somewhat surprised by what she saw. The classroom looked vastly different than it did a year ago. Gone were the gruesome pictures that hung around the room, instead replaced by suits of armor and laterns. But not only that, instead of Kazimeriz waiting for his students to assemble, he was also replaced by someone new - a teacher she remembered seeing at the Welcoming feast. Slightly bemused by these turn of events, Mariel slowly made her way out of the doorway and set her bag to the side of the room. After she found herself a seat at a deskless chair, the third year pulled the wand from her pocket and gave the professor a polite smile as she greeted him. "Hello, Professor." Marcus nodded, "Hello there." Quote:

"Good.....Hello Professor Lawson." The small hufflepuff spoke, whilst noticing that there were no desks. "Are you having a good day?" She asked politely as she moved to the side of the classroom, putting her bag there, and pulling her wand out of the side pocket. She then moved back, and sat on one of the chairs. Marcus' face brightened. "Hello Prefect Corbette. So far it has been good. How about you?" Quote:

Sarah took a seat as close to the back as possible,after she had put her bag down on the floor with the others and taken her wand out from inside her right robe pocket.Being right handed it was the best place for her to get to it easily....you never know when you might need it!
She added a quiet "Hello Professor Lawson." for good measure. "Hello, nice to see you here." Quote:

Originally Posted by dingDong Cam was excited for the first DADA lesson and curiously wondered what they were going to do. Fight off werewolves? Attack dragons?

But he sure wished they weren't going to do something booooring as learning the safeties and all. Who cared about safety anyways?! This was DADA. And hopefully, there was no safety. There was only going to be chaos and danger and EVEN MOAAAARRR CHAOS.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA... Oh. Right.
He opened up the door and noticed an adult doood standing there in front of the room. Who the heck was he? Wait. So that creeeepy Kazi really did stop teaching DADA?! OMG OMG OMG. That was totally a relief. That old man had a backbone, not literally, but people could make feaaar of him from just those old eyes of his. And his old nose. And his old mouth. And his whole ancient body. So Cam was reaaallly relieved that old man wasn't teaching this class anymore--Potions for him was fine--but ... still... who wanted to see Kazi with a wand in his hand? That was like... that was scary.
"Hiiii Professah," and because he didn't have any bags or basically anything at all because of the flood, just got out his wand from his side pocket and took a seat. Oh thank Merlin's booger that his wand wasn't drowned or keeled. His wand; it was basically the most important asset in his whole entire wizard life.
He soon took a seat after and waited for the class to begin. "Hiiiiiii duuuude" Marcus replied with a grin. Quote:

He didn't have a rucksack anymore, so Clifford made his way straight to a seat, drawing his wand from where he kept it tucked in the back of the waistband of his trousers. "Head Boy Carden, sir. Welcome to class." Marcus grinned as the boy took his wand from his waistband. Quote:

Willow had heard that Professor Kazimeriz would no longer be teaching Defense Against The Dark Arts and that there was a new professor, but . . . the man standing in the classroom was definitely not what she had been expecting. Not that Willow had any kind of idea of WHAT she had been expecting, but still.
This man, whatever his name was, was definitely an upgrade from Kazimeriz. Granted, Kazimeriz had been and outstanding professor, and Willow didn't know if the new guy would be good at the whole teaching business, but . . . um, yes.
Remembering that she was supposed to look for a seat, she followed the man's intructions, took seat in the front of the classroom -yes, the front- and took out her wand from the pocket that was inside the left side of her robes.
She had completely forgotten to greet the professor. Nevermind. No greeting again and another Ravenclaw too. Marcus nodded, obviously he wasn't as imitating as the old man. Quote:

Listening to Professor Lawson's instructions, she took a seat nearby Kiri and the boy she always seemed to be with. Sure, she wasn't gonna talk to them(well, she didn't wanna get in trouble!) but it would be nice to be near some people she knew during a class for once. Besides, these were older students who could maybe help her if she needed it! "Hello, Professor!" she said brightly.
Settling herself in, Hayley pulled out her cherrywood wand(which she had named Steve) and sat her messengerbag on the the floor next to the front left leg of her chair. Okay she thought to herself, Let's get this show on the ROAD! "Hello there." he said just as brightly. Quote:

She had been waiting the whole term (so far) for this day. "Good evening Professor Lawson." Lucy said taking a seat. She set her bag down at her feet and took her wand out. 'I wonder what we're learning today..' "Hello to you my dear." Quote:
Originally Posted by Lord Divadicus Divad took off his bag, setting it on the floor next to his desk. He got his wand out from the left pocket using his left hand to do so.

He was going to especially love this class, though Professor Lawson did creep him out. Quote:

Originally Posted by mmesnape Patrick came in, giving the professor a brief nod as he passed by. Good, they needed their wands for this class, he thought as he slung his bag to the floor. He grabbed the handle from an inner pocket of his student's robe and took a seat. Waiting for class to begin, he idly listened to the others chatting silently in the room. Marcus nodded at the boy and then waited as everyone took their seats and got comfortable.
"Welcome to your first DADA lesson of the year. I am Professor Lawson, as most of you seem to know already but unfortunately I only know a few of your names, so please bear with me."
He pushed off the desk and took a couple of steps forward. "Okay so I have watched each of you retrieve your wands. And very interesting places some of you keep your wand." He glanced at Clifford for a moment. "Now I am going to need a couple of volunteers."
