Even with the arena windows wide open, there was still a bit of chill to the air, more due to the season Spring than any magical effect. The floors and walls looked particularly normal today, so there should be no fear of slipping with a simple step, however, the mats and desks continued to be missing. A good thing perhaps? You just have to wait and find out! Professor Romanos stood near the stands, casually twirling her wand while she waited for the students to arrive.
OOC: Class has begun! If you're just now joining us, please don't post arriving late. Just jump in with the rest of us as if you've been here the entire time. ^^
"Hi, Professor Romanos." Cutty's voice was all oldman-like as he entered the Dueling Arena. He took note, no mats, no desks, in fact hardly anything of obstruction was present in the room. Were they going to duel? In class? He worked hard to keep a broad smile from appearing upon his face, but what he ended up with were twitching mouth corners.
He took a deep breath to try and calm himself and found somewhere to sit near the stands as he waited for his classmates to show up. Then he started to plot dueling strategies. Going over favourites and considering variations on existing ones that never quite worked for him.

Not being able to practically bolt into DADA class was going to move her closer to her early grave. Like legit. This was her favourite class and she had to be worrying that too much excitement would give her a stroke. Someone remind her when they said they'd be getting them fixed up again because quite frankly, she was ready to start being young again and not having to dread yoga for fear she'd leave with every bone broken.
"Hello Professor." Despite the multiple aches she still opted to give the woman a smile. Why? Because one did not complain in DADA class. It was like an unspoken rule...one she religiously lived by. A subject that could teach you to hex the face off someone deserved your full respect.
There was a curious look around as she noted the lack of mats and tables but you know what? This was a good thing. Not to be questioned in case the Professor had forgotten and asking would bring it back to mind.

Caleb was NOT in the mood for yoga or class or anything. Ever since his fall, he'd been moving around the castle carefully, like he could fall apart into a pile of dust at any minute. Who knew? Maybe that WOULD happen. That was how he would meet his end. Reverse Benjamin Button disease.
Not even saying hello, he entered the class and went over to hang out by Cutty. He was pretty much the reason he was up walking around.

Every lesson was a drag lately, DADA included. It put Beverly in an even worse mood when she entered the classroom to see no mats or desks. It was even chilly to boot. Old lady status here. The least the professor could do was light a fire or something. The floor wasn't slippery, so that was a MILDLY good thing.
Making her way toward Cutty, she nudged him with her elbow as part of greeting. "Mordaunt."
And of course, there was the professor. Beverly hadn't forgotten about her. Romanos got a greeting nod from the third year.
Caelen loved the spring. The cool but warming air and the wind that isn't cold enough to chill but just cold enough to ruffle your air and cool your body. This was her favorite time of the year. After her birthday, when all of the excitement in the world seemed to be gathering and ebbing again into a rush of feeling. The redhead wanted to be outside every moment at this time of year. The kid wanted to kick off her shoes and touch the grass with her bare feet and run around the path. This time of the year meant that classes for the redhead usually ended up being outside.
Defense against the Dark Arts? The firstie really had no preference either way. It wasn't her favorite like potions and it wasn't her least like Transfiguration. It was cool, of course, transfiguring things. But it lit no fire in the blue eyed girls veins. No offense to the professor or anything. It just wasn't the best.
"Hello, professor. Fine day, isn't it?" The Ravenclaw went to a spot n the arena and waited.

Alex walked into the Dueling Arena and noted.......emptiness. No mats, no desks. A few of her classmates were already there, as was Professor Romanos. "Hello Professor", Alex said as she neared the stands. For the first time ever, she was not really feeling like being in class. However, no complaining from her today. Even though she didn't feel like it, Alex would not miss her favorite class. Now, should they sit or stand? Alex chose the latter for now and propped herself against the wall waiting for class to start.

Now that's a lesson you came excited about since it was very hard to expect what would the topic be. Like for CoMC you knew it had to be a creature and for Herbology a certain deadly plant. Even History, there was a good collection of things that happened but one could sometimes venture a guess. Not here, though. Or was it just the snake's imagination that failed to make a prediction. Oh, well, predictions weren't all that important anyway! She wasn't gonna talk about it aloud just in case.
Entering the classroom, Cassia felt a chill going through her bones and she was grateful for the extra shirt she thought to add under her robes. She liked her brain when it provided such ideas. Might not have found the importance of such a decision right away.
"Good day, Professor Romanos," she greeted the woman as she passed her then climbed up the stands. Since there were not desks or mats they were to sit up there, right? Obviously.

Class time! Jeremiah walked in with a hop in his step, he was in a good mood today for reasons no one else needed to know. With his book in hand he nodded to the professor and greeted her "hello professor." he said shyly, he still didnt like talking to people even f he did love learning. teachers we're still strangers and he didn't like speaking to them much. so he went to an area of the room where no one seemed to accommodate to and he stood there, and waited.

Stepping out onto the arena, Lux was happy to see that the floor was no longer slippery. A very good thing seeing as so many of her classmates had the bodies of old people now; if any of them slipped, they could break a bone.
Spotting the Professor, she sent a wave in her direction. "Hello, Professor. How are you?" oh! and there was Alex. Beaming, she made her way over to her friend. "Hey! Aren't you excited for this lesson?" Lux sure was!

She probably shouldn't be here given her physical fitness as of late but she liked the subject and she liked Romanos. Besides, NEWTs were fast approaching and Ella needed all the practice she could get, right? Right. And so she slowly but surely made her way into the arena and gave the woman a tired smile. "Hello Professor!" Good to see her and all. Too bad she couldn't ask about Airey because the eighteen year old thought they were just the sweetest couple but gossiping with your professor about her love life was probably frowned upon. Probably.
...Maybe one of the younger kids would ask? Fern seemed to catch on to this stuff. Heh. And hey, no mats? Did that mean no yoga?

Ian shuffled into dueling arena. Hopefully, this class would be less physically taxing than the last time he was here. Greetings, professor he said as he passed by. He drew his cloak closer around him to protect against the chill. He found a seat on the lower level of the stands so he wouldn't need to climb any stairs.

"Hello, Professor,'' Adi said as he came hobbling into the classroom. He flashed her a cheery grin and looked around, noticing the missing mats and desks. Hmmm. Why were they not there?
Oh, well. Guess they would find out sooner or later. The Puffer hobbled off to join his fellow Puffer, though he remained standing. "Hey, Ian. What's up?''

Ian smiled as his friend Adi walked up. Not much. Just trying to finish out the year and hoping to feel better before I go home. Sure don't want my mum to see me like this. He waved in the general direction of his face and gave a half smile.

Defence Against the Dark Arts!
Alec was looking forward to this lesson. Yeah. He even tried to get here as early as possible, which meant huffing and puffing all the way up towards the first floor. A glance at his watch told him that he wasn't early but... it was the thought that counted, right? Right. Nodnod.
After what seemed like hours, the boy finally made his way into the classroom which... ... had no mats. Again? No yoga? Maybe that was a good thing since too much stretching wasn't something his body liked the sound of. But then again, if they weren't doing yoga, they were bound to be doing something... practical, right? More body breaking.
... Right. Romanos. "Hello Professor!" he called, shooting her a smile and heading off to an empty space to... stand? Should he remain standing or...? Standing it is. With his bag still slung over his shoulder and his hands in the pockets of his trousers.
Defense Against the Dark Arts. This class was always interesting. He wondered what the professor had in store for them for their second lesson. As he made his way into the classroom, he noticed other students made it there before him. He never got here to be the first one. Maybe he needed to walk faster? He would work on it next time.
He saw the professor in the front of the room and said, "Hello Professor!" with a big smile and wondered if he should stand near his desk or sit. He saw Alec standing and he figured he would stand as well.

Alex saw Lux as she entered the arena and came over looking very enthusiastic. She hoped that Lux's enthusiasm was contagious considering she barely made it to class. "Hi Lux", Alex said. Not wanting to be a downer, she answered truthfully. "Defense Against the Dark Arts is my favorite class so it should be fun." At least she hoped it would be so.

There was already a whole bunch of people in the classroom by the time Toby got there. The fourteen-slash-elderly-man did a quick scan of the classroom, squinting around to see who was already there. Soon spotting a familiar blur, Tobias carried on in and went to stand by Ella. He figured, seeing as she wasn't going to be in his classes for much longer, he wanted to hang around her until she got bored of him. Younger Hufflepuff stopped beside older, and gave her a smile in greeting.
As for Professor Romanos.................. well, Tobias couldn't see her at all. But, not wanting to be unintentionally rude, he gave a cheery wave in the direction he hoped she was in. And smiled. 'Cause happy.

Bay walked into the class room… he was really excited, he loved defence against the dark arts… the professor was amazing and she's always so nice to him, spotting his friends he made his way over to them "Hey Alex hey Lux how are you guys today" then he spotted the Professor… smiling at her he went to say hello "Hello Professor Romanos… how are you doing today" he was practically bouncing on his feet.. she cheered up his day that was for sure..
This was definitely a weird year for DADA. There were always mats here because of yoga reasons. So Nigel was just getting more confused with every class. Now Romanos looked to be in a good mood.
So.....where do they sit now that there is no mats? Those stands look pretty uncomfortable. Nigel will just stand right now until instructed to do something.

All right. Yay. Lessons. Here we go!
Tag made his way into the DADA room and the first thing he realized, probably alongside his classmates, was the lack of yoga mats. So Tag assumed no yoga. Hmm. Weird. Suspicious? No. But weird. Shame, yoga could really relax his soul right now.
He wouldn't be sitting anywhere or anything. Romanos was no Fuller with that whole 'let me try and be cool and surprise you with something you weren't supposed to be doing' act. But Tag wasn't taking any chances you know. Maybe he wasn't meant to go on those stands. Nope. The boy just stood off centered in the classroom.

Yay... Defense? Mo glanced around the room, feeling pleased for the first time EVER that they weren't doing yoga or something stretchy today. Unless the mats were hidden or something, but Mo had high hopes. He couldn't get up and down and his knees made an alarming sound when he tried.
"Good day, Professor," Mo tipped an imaginary hat at the professor as he slipped into the classroom. Erm... why'd he do that, hmm? That was super dorky, and Mo didn't need to pile super dorky on top of 'incredibly old'.
Class, Class was good. It would take his mind off of things. Either that, or he would spend the whole time thinking about the stuff that had been on his mind lately, and not thinking about class things. But, if they did the normal routine, it should really clear his head. No more dreading the things that would be happening soon. He wasn't looking forward to people leaving again. and stuff.
Filing into class, Kaiden looked around. Oh, yeah, this was odd. Well, he'd just find a place and wait. Oh, and "Hi Profesor." he said with a wave.

Sander peeked into the arena and was glad to see that the Defense Against the Dark Arts hadn't started yet. He walked in and immediately headed over to where Professor Romanos was standing. Smiling Sander greeted her.
"Hello Professor Romanos. It's good to be back here in the arena. I hope that you're doing well."
Then he turned and noticed that most of his friends had arrived. Walking over to them, he smiled and stood next to them.
"Hey there Lux, Alex, Bay, Adi. Are you all looking forward to this lesson like I am? I know I'm going to miss this when I leave." Sander told his friends.

Marigold was in a BEAMY mood ever since she caught wind that her VERY OWN OLDER COUSIN would be joining her at Hogwarts next year. That, along with he the thrill of summer around the corner, promises of a sleepover with Moo, and a wedding in the family made her BEAM as she skipped into class.
"Hiya, Professor!" she said, giving Airey's lovebird a big ol' Marigold smile. No yoga mats, but old!students were probably benefiting from that. She waved to a few familiar faces she saw in the crowd.
No Mitchell... But even that wasn't huge enough of an issue to stop her good mood.
