DADA Class 2
 

Rave walked into the DADA classroom and sat down in the front desk. She saw Professor Rae hide a smile and asked politely, "Excuse me but whats so wonderful Professor? If you dont mind my asking Maam'"

marissa walked into the classroom and took a seat at the front of the class.

Rave raised her left eyebrow but said nothing. She didnt believe the Headmistress one bit. Realizing she had been asked a question she responded, "I'm alright."

Rave was about to open her note book when a sparkly something caught her eye. Her jaw dropped. "P-p-professor Rae? Is that an..an...an engagement ring?" she asked with eyes wide and fixed on her professor's left hand.

Kay finally found what she was looking for and had placed the matierials on the desk just as Rae asked her about the book. Her eyes widened and she sat up straight while trying to protect the book with her hands. "It's just a book, Professor Rae," she answered apprehensively.

Rave grinned, knowing by the professors reaction she was right, and took out her wand and quills.

marissa took out her wand and quills but she new professer was lieing!!!

Sylvia walked into the classroom and took a seat in the middle of all the rows of desks. She did notice the professor's unusaul happiness, but didn't but in and ask about her mood. If professor Rae wanted us to know why she was so happy, she would've told everyone already Sylvia privately reasoned as she got out her wand and quill.

Ellen enters the classroom and sits on her desk, quickly pulls her wand and takes iton the desk and after that, looks in her bag and pulls a quill and a piece of parchment. then looks at professor and says:
" hi professor, what is the subject of our lesson today?"

marissa smiled at the girl sitting beside her professer rae is getting married!" she said.

Mandi walked into the classroom and took a seat over by the window. Then she noticed that the professor was smiling happily. She thought to herself that this is gonna be a good class today and she started smiling too as she took out her wand and her quill as instructed.

Serilda came and quickly sat down next down in the back of the classroom. She took out her ink, quill, parchment, textbooks, and other books and set them on her desk. Putting her shoulder bag onto the floor beside her leg, Serilda took her cloak off and hung it onto her chair. She pushed her glasses higher up the bridge of her nose and took her wand out. Twirling it as she waited for the teacher to start the lesson, Serilda leaned against the back of her seat. Serilda raised her hand. "Perhaps you want to start the lesson as so because you're interested to see how knowledgable we are to protecting ourselves in various dangerous situations that require tactically analysis before commencing in fighting. You want us to be able to defend ourselves in both the magic world and the Muggle world," she said.

Solitaire raised her hand. "So we can understand how serious this class is and what we might be up against in the future."

Sylvia raised her hand, " When you are surrounded by muggles in a dangerous situation?" Sylvia guessed.

Serilda raised her hand and said, "When you are in the presence of a Muggle and magic can or shall make you seem...awkward in the Muggle world. Also when you are underage in wizardry and can't preform magic without breaking the law."

I think some kind of non - magical defense is fighting with sword, using a weapon like sword I mean, also karate, kong fu and also martial arts. I think these ways are some of non - magical defenses.

Rose raised her hand. "Non-magical techniques would be preferred in either a situation involving muggles or around muggles, as to not involve the Ministry of Magic in covering up any incidents."

Solitaire raised her hand."One preferred non magical way is when you're dealing with a muggle. You may get into a fight with a muggle for some reason, you should not use magic."

Mandi raised her hand and replied "When Muggles are Present."

Serilda jotted down some notes in her book.

I think if you can do kong fu perfect, you can defense yourself against a wizard non-magical

Evy took some notes.

Serilda thought about the question the Gryffindor asked. She thought, You get out of the way of the spell. She looked at the Professor for an answer.

marissa opened her note book and took notes. than looked at the professer for an answer.

Serilda raised her hand and said, "Don't get into a situation where fighting in the first place, and/or walking away. If you are attacked you should try to keep your face, neck and other vital parts protected."

marissa raised her hand "you could punch them!" laughed marissa.

Ellen sits and listens to other students and thier comments, and also is waiting for professor to continue her lesson.

Evy raised her hand. "Asking for help is always a good idea..."

"You should also keep your head down and keep moving," said Serilda, hand still raised.

Rose raised her hand again. "You can use 'lumos' to reveal your attacked and to possibly scare him or her or it off."

Evy raised her hand : "You can use spells that make your opponent unable to attack you, for example Expelliarmus or Impedimenta. You could also use Colloportus, to prevent your attacker from entering the room you're in."

Serilda raised her hand and said, "You could Apparate, if you were old enough. Or you could use stupefy, levicorpous, colloportus if someone was running at you, shock spell, expelliarmus, sectumsempra if you absolutely had to, accio wand, wingardium leviosa, avis, oppungeo, rictusempra, petrificus totalus, and several other similar charms and spells to protect one's self from harm."

marissa rote down notes and then looked around to see if andone knew the answer to what the professer had just asked.

Davina took some notes and scanned the page.She had taken alot of notes today.

Serilda listened to the professor's words intensely as she jotted down more notes. Vital hits can kill, she thought. Dreadful thought.

"Let's go ahead and get ready to practice this spell. I need everyone to get out your wand and assume your casting position that we learned last class. Come grab a pillow before you spread out and find your own space." She waited until they had found a spot in the room.

"Watch me, please. The motion is a sharp jab and outward motion from the center of your body outward on your wand hand side. The incantation is Reducto (re-DUC-to). Once you destroy your pillow, you may repair it with the simple incantation Reparo. Practice as many times as you need to. I'll move among you as you practice."

ooc: I have to go for now, but I'll be back to check on you.

Rave rolled her eyes and muttered so no one else could hear, "How about just get out the way of any spell sent at you by an enemy. Duh." Rave still hadnt forgiven Kay for spying on Ganymede.

She took a pillow and went to the left side of the classroom.

Rave was just about to attempt the spell when she heard a small voice. Turning to the Ravenclaw girl who had spoken to her she said, "I'de watch who I'm calling loser kiddo." before turning back to her pillow and saying strongly, "REDUCTO!" The pillow didnt just burst, its exploded sending feathers in a ten foot circle around where it had exploded, covering herself and the Ravenclaw girl. One by one Rave picked the feathers off and smiled at the girl before repairing her pillow and getting ready to try again.

g_g faced her pillow. "Okay...concentrate.." she breathed deeply, then, "Reducto!" the pillow suddenly exploded sending feathers to go everywhere, then slowly fall to the ground.

Julia wrinkles her nose as feathers cover herself and the Slytherin. Ooohhh you're totally asking for it, she thinks, eyeing the girl. She picks the feathers off her robes and throws them down on the floor just before the girl repairs her pillow.

Feeling a mischievous feeling build up inside of her, Julia points her wand at her pillow. Casually doing the wand motions, she says, "Reducto!" She watches with a grin as her pillow bursts and the white feathers shoot up into the air, then gently fall back to the ground.

Giggling quietly, she picks up a few feathers and sticks them in her pockets. I could use these later, she thinks with a smirk on her face, then pointing her wand at the pile of remaining feathers. "Reparo!" The pillow was now whole again, yet it looked smaller because some of the feathers were gone. How did I suddenly become so good at this? In my third year I did horrible at this class... now suddenly I'm brilliant at it. What's up with that?

Kay grabbed a pillow and moved to the right side of the room, far away from Rave. No one knows but him, she thought wistfully as she sat the pillow onto the ground. Two days ago, I would not have given the effects of this spell a second thought. She heard a loud voice and then soft blast from the opposite side of the room and saw feathers falling like snow.

She shook her head at the mess caused by Rave and turned back to the pillow she was about to practice on. Wand in her right hand, an intense look appeared on Kay's face for a split second while she made a sharp jab and outward motion from the center of her body outward on her right side. Reducto!

The pillow exploded on the stone floor and Kay couldn't help but smile because she managed to pull off the spell without speaking. To break the silence, she flicked her wand. "Reparo!" she cheerfully commanded and watched the pillow repair itself.

Mandi takes her pillow and finds a corner to practice.She had watched the Professor demonstrate the proper way and hoped that she could do it right. She held her wand in her wand hand and with an outward motion she said "Reducto". Her pillow burst and the feathers inside flew all over. She then said the incantation "Reparo" and the pillow was whole again. "Wow, that was incredible, I think I'll try that again."

Amber picked up her pillow. She took a deep breath and concentrated. Forcefully, she said: "REDUCTO!". Immediately her pillow blew up and feathers went flying everywhere. She scrambled about, muttering 'Sorry' to those who had her pillow's feathers on them. Amber muttered, "Reparo." At once her pillow was back to normal.

"I think I'll do it again!" she thought smiling excitedly. "Reparo!" she said ponting to the destructed pillow. the feathers amazingly rose to te air, as did the cloth and the pillow was reconstructed. "Okay...once more..." she said to herself.

Brianna raised her wand and pointed it at her destroyed pillow, and said, "Reparo," the feathers started to go into what was left of the pillow, but the cloth didn't stich themselves together, "Close," she muttered to herself, "but it's kind've not good enough."

Crystal decided to move towards the back of the room to practice. She placed her pillow on the floor in front of her and stepped back a few paces. " Okay....Now it's re-DUC-to, not RE-duc-to..." She knew that if she didn't say it properly, nothing would happen. She took a breath , and with a quick jab outward from her body, said decisively
" Reducto!" and watched as the pillow ripped open, spilling its feathery contents.
" OOh...I like this spell. " she said, grinning. Somehow, it was very entertaining to blow up a pillow. She then remembered she was supposed to fix the pillow. " Oh...yes.. Reparo!" She watched as the pillow seamlessly sewed itself back together.

Phoebe walked up and took a pillow. She moved to a corner away from most people. After watching a few people blow up there pillows she thought hard about the spell in her head. Not daring to imagine if it was a real person she aimed her wand at the pillow and said "Reducto" Nothing happened she tried a few more times but still nothing hppened. "Reducto she said a gain. A tiny rip appeared in the pillow but that was all. Phoebe raised her hand waiting for the proffesors help.

Edaj grabbed her pillow, took out her wand, and went over to Phoebe. she set it down, said, "REducto!' and did the movement the proffessor had said, and her pillow ripped open.

"Phoebe, you need any help?" she asked.

Hermy chose a pillow and placed it a few feet away. She picked up her wand in her left hand and practised the arm action. After getting as close as she was going to get to the movement at this stage, she repeated the spell in her mind, watching the pronounciation. Her eyes focusing, she said "Reducto" and watched as her pillow split. So it didn't blast apart she thought to herself, at least I managed something. She said "Reparo" to fix the pillow and tried once more.

Luna smiled as she whipped out her wand... 'this should be fairly easy' she thaught, remembering the times during the holidays she had smashed her fathers possessions and trashed the house. After placing the cushion at a reasonalble distance from her she forcefully jabbed her wand in the direction of the pillow "reducto!". The pillow burst into a flurry of white feathers... surpisingly they didnt spread around the room but landed in a fairly neat pile after floating to the ground... "meh, I guess I must have been angry when I blew appart that piano" she said to herself

Nik had not noticed anybody standing near him, and he was just about to try the spell again when he felt something sharp jab him in the side. "Oof!" He exclaimed, and turned angrily to the person who had poked him, but broke into a smile when he realized who it was.

Rubbing his ribs he poked her in the side as retribution, "You're lucky I don't kick."

He pulled his repaired pillow back towards him and tried the spell again, "Reducto" the pillow burst violently once more and he watched in amusement as the feathers landed in Franchesca's hair.

Then he lazily waved his wand towards the mess and said the incantation for the repairing spell. Deliberately missing the feathers in Fran's hair he repaired the pillow while leaving the feathers on her.

Francesca raised a brow at Nik' reaction to poking him by 'accident'. When she got her wand out again, she was poked in the ribs by Nik. She giggled when he said something about kicking and retribution.

"I do kick though. Of course you knew that already."

She winked at him as she tried the spell again. "Reducto" The pillow then exploded and feathers flied everywhere. She ran her hair through her fingers (not that she had much to run through them) and ended up holding a giant wad of feathers. She looked over at Nik and back at the feathers in her hand.

She repaired her own pillow again, leaving the feathers from Nik's in her hand. She had an idea as to what she could do with those. She took one of the longer feathers and started tickling Nik in the neck with it. She had nothing else to do at the moment so this was amusement and she always craved it.

lizzy pointed her wand at her pillow and shouted "reducto" very clearly. the pillow burst and white feathers shot into the air. lizzy smiled and gave her wand a casual flick whilst saying "reparo". she watched as the pillow pulled its self together quickly. lizzy repeated the incantation until her pillow responded to a small whisper and she no longer needed to shout the incantation.

srimathi pointed her wand at the pillow and with a sharp jab just as the professor has shown yelled reducto!!!!!and the pillow suddenly burst sending feathers in the air.wow said srimathi

fuj got her pillow, stood at the back of the class, and remembered all the times her brother had annoyed her. when she felt really annoyed, she jabbed her wand at the pillow and said reducto. the pillow exploded, and fuj could not wait intil she could show her brother this. she tried doing reparo nonverbally, and to her surprise, it worked.

Sylvia carefully listened to Professor Rae. Then she attempted the spell. "Reducto," Sylvia said in a regular tone. The pillow than blew up and feathers landed in neat clumps near her desk. A mischeivious smile crept upon Sylvia's face. She had an idea. What if I made the pillow burst with so much pressure that it exploded out of the classroom? Sylvia then tried the spell again after she repaired the pillow. "Reducto!" Sylvia stated with much more feeling. The pillow's feathers exploded across the room, but there were no fluffy white feathers in the hall. Sylvia repaired the pillow and prepared to try again.

Elijah recalled the use of the Reductor spell Rae was talking about, and felt confident with carrying this one out. He strutted up to get a pillow of his own and then proceeded to an area of the classroom that would allow room for feathers to be blown about.

With his pillow infront of him, and want in hand, Elijah took his stance as always practiced in class, jabbed his wand in the direction of his pillow, "Reducto!" and with a slight pop, feathers were blown in every direction. He smiled to himsel and gave a satisfied nod. With another swish and flick of his wrist, "Reparo!" the air made a soft sucking sound as the pillow brought itself back together to it's original state. Elijah smiled once more and twirlled his wand around in his hand surveying the rest of the classroom.

His eyes fell on Kay as he watched her non-verbally use the spell, and made a slight face. At this age, he still hadn't mastered non-verbal spells and he really needed to. There appeared to also be some commotion going on between a Slytherin student, Kay and Julia, now that Elijah paid closser attention.

He made no move to attempt at interfering and went back to his own spell casting.

srimathi burst the pillow again and again
she was having such fun

Luna raised her hand over the commotion of flying feathers and the tension. "professor, can this spell only be used on objects?" she asked, "what if someone tried to cast it on a person... would it, ya know... like blow you up?" she asked slightly worriedly.
