| | |  DADA Lesson 1
The Defense classroom was looking clean and bright, and Rae smiled at the obvious effort of the house elves. She settled behind her desk with a quill and parchment, prepared for her first lesson of the term.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Okay, I love how excited everyone is getting, but let's try to keep things under control here. What I'm asking is this... you may post that you arrived, you may respond to my questions, and within reason... to the questions and responses of others. You may NOT spam, chat with classmates, or otherwise jam-pack the thread. I will give you one chance, but if I have to remind you more than once, you will not be permitted to participate in this class. Thanks! | |

Bella raised her hand.
"Other than Muggles and Wizards or Witches, any other half human would be considered a being. Such as Werewolves, Merpeople, Centaurs....they are said to have human intelegence and should be treated as such."

"Merpeople," said Serilda, raising her hand, "Are very aquatic; the base of their torso is more like that of a fish's fin; the centaurs are more horse-like at the bottom, rather than more human with two fleshy human legs."

"Centaurs are half-human, half-horse in appearance; Merpeople are fish/human looking, so there's a debate between whether they'd be a being or creature," Eunice said once she raised her hand.

"They're half human and half animal. Centaurs being half horse, merpeople being half fish." Sabrina replied after raising her hand.

Jenna thought for a moment, then rose her hand.
"You said wizards and witches were in beings. All the other 'beings' vaguely resemble humans. Centaurs and merpeople, er, don't as much as giants and goblins do." She felt her answer was rather weak, so she put off being so polite. "As in, half of them is intelligent, the other half is 'beast'."

"Isn't it because both merpeople and centaurs understand the laws of the magical community?" she inquired.

Mithos raised his hand "Professor, a being creature is any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws. A lot of creatures could be because they are intelligent enough but not all of them are willing to follow the magical community and be part of it like Vampires, and Merpeople... Am I correct?" | |

Kalaya raised her hand, "They could be classified as beings, but both requested to be classified as beasts." She remembered reading that sometime, but she wasn't sure if these were the right creatures.

Kali raised her hand and answered, unsure, "It might be because though centaurs and mermaids are intelligent, they prefer to be separated from the affairs of the magical world."

They fall in under the Ministry of Magic, we associate them with our Magical Beast classifications. They don't abide fully with our magical laws, and seperate themselves slightly. No one would be willing to accept that they were above us, and due to their differences they would never be considered our equals."

"Merpeople and centaurs are categorized as beasts by the ministry, but are given an XXXXX rating because they should be respected. They aren't in the beings category." answerd Mattio, raising his hand.

"Oh, I was so worried you wouldn't see it," Rae clapped her hands in Mithos' direction. "Bravo, Mithos. You saw it. Several of you did. It has nothing to do with their physical form, and that's an important lesson we all must learn. How clever you are is not about how much you look like a human. Centaurs and merpeople are... very clever. They have entire cultural systems that are complex and beautiful... and a total mystery to us. But we, as wizards, have drawn a firm line into who is to follow our laws and how they must act, and they were clever enough to know that the best way to stay outside of laws they didn't agree with was to remain classified as animals. They do not fall subject to our laws. Clever, no? Ten for Ravenclaw."

Serilda smiled and jotted down some more notes; her House was doing well...for the moment.

Jacob, taking down notes, was surprised by the number of people that knew the answer to that question.
Wow, I should study more. These people are good at defense against the dark arts. I wonder what got them so interested in this. They answer with such a passion, it's as if they love to raise their hand and answer the question. Oh well, I better raise my hand soon.
Jacob then listened intently to the lecture, trying to understand the information and waiting for the next question.

Wow, Eunice thought to herself. There were so many smart people in her class! Jotting down even more notes, she started on a new roll of parchment.

"You know, my dear, that is a very interesting question. Most would answer that it is anyone who can communicate, understand, and follow magical law. But really... there are centuries upon centuries of fascinating history to lead to that small statement. For example, beings used to be considered anyone that speaks. Any troll can mimic, but they aren't really communicating. Then it was anyone who could move about on two legs. Well... that's really unfair, don't you think? I suppose... if we HAVE to classify at all, this is the best way to do it." She shrugged.
"Let's move on, shall we? We don't just sit and talk in this class, we also have practical lessons as well. Parchment away, and get out your wands."

Julie kept peeking at her classmates, she was suprised at the speed of their paste, they are really smart. She thought maybe she should get better prepared for next lesson. Julie pulled out her wand waiting for the Prof. to continue

Serilda, nervous, tucked all of her things away into her bag and tightened her grip on her wand. "Uh oh," she said under her breath. "I knew this was going to happen..."
