| | |  DADA Lesson 2: Creature Feature
The Headmistress had a lot of fun pushing all the chairs out of the way to make room for rows and rows of cushy seats all facing the chalkboard. The room smelled of warm melted butter and cocoa, and the room was only half lit.
When she was ready, Professor Rae opened the door to the room and waited for people to show up.

It's not real, right....Rapunzel repeated in her head. She watched the clip and thought that the old wizard man reminded her of someone from her Hogwarts, a History book. He had the beard...looked liked....Dumbledore? Was that a Muggle version of Albus Dumbledore?!
Punz might not have been the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but she knew her old-school wizards. Er, most of the time.

Anna glared at the film, clearly annoyed by what it was showing. "It appears to be what we know as a dementor, but I don't think the Muggles know enough about our world to realize what they were nearly depicting. It just looks like...I don't know...another very inaccurate representation of what truly exists in our world. I think that may just be a product of their over-active imaginations---just like the last few clips we've seen," Anna said.

Melinda watched the movie scene. "What was that...?" She asked herself and the people around her. She was so, confused now.
Though, now it was getting clear. Good and evil magic. Two exact poles that have always existed.

She moved to pat Tanjiro on the shoulder. "It did look like a dementor, didn't it? It was just a man who had been ruined by Dark Magic. I can't really decide what that big... flying thing looks like. It's uglier than a dragon." Allie raised her hand. "I think it might be some type of cross between a threstal and a dragon to me, m'am."

Astrid shook her head and said, "I just think that the Muggles are trying to make the scariest creations that they could come up with in the video. It really resembled the dragons from my childhood Muggle stories though."

"You might be right, Allie. It was scary though, right?" She shivered. "Muggles have the most frightening imaginations. So let's go ahead and move on. I wanted to give you an idea of how different the real world is from how the Muggles see us."
Twirling her wand, Rae prepared the next movie. "I'm going to show you a few clips with werewolves. REmember what you know to be true, and think of that as we watch this first, from a very very VERY old Muggle film."

Tanjiro jumped in his seat when a woman near the end of the clip screamed. "Wow... the werewolf seems to be pretty clear to muggles but I don't think werewolves are just a men with hair all over themselves," Tanjiro said.

Allie watched the film. This was an old movie, the werewolf really did look like he was wearing a costume.
She didn't know much about werewolves, but she really didn't think they would just go attack someone like that the way the werewolf in the move did at the end.

Astrid had to remember that it was ignorance, not stupidity that caused the Muggles to make such horrid movies. She raised her hand and said, "Well it wasn't very believable, was it? A poor, savage werewolf, 'prowling around, terrifying the countryside' with a crazy amount of facial hair? And did they mention the full moon at all?: she asked.

"With the blood-lust of a savage beast?!" Rapunzel couldn't help repeating the last words on the screen. "Er.....Professor...." she raised her trembling hand. Werewolves were no laughing matter. "They have potions nowadays to aid the were-transformation thingy, right?"
Gulp.

"Well," Anna started, looking at this clip with a little more interest than she had the last. "It's true that a werewolf does come into existence when a person is bitten by another werewolf. They did manage to get that correct. However, it's still a very vague representation. It lacked too many details. Besides, we all know Wolfsbane Potion can be used in these types of situations."

"Yes, werewolves who choose to be medicated are not nearly as dangerous, although there are many flaws with the way this werewolf was portrayed. Still, it's rather closer than we're comfortable with, isn't it?"
She put on the next film. "This one is just plain silly, but I'm sure you'll see that."

Anna laughed and shook her head at the nonsense flashing before her eyes. "Professor, he morphed into a wolf inside---and during the day. This clip isn't even close to being an accurate depiction. Besides that...what was the deal with the flashing red eyes and the silly voice? This 'werewolf' didn't have the urge to bite at all, either. He wanted butterbeer apparently. Whatever...," Anna mumbled, rolling her eyes at the clip and crossing her arms over her chest.

Tanjiro had never raised his eyebrows so much, before. The movie was definitley silly and amusing at the same time. "Haha, I hope every werewolf is like that."
He turned to his side to see if anyone had to comment on it.

Her worries pushed aside, Rapuzel started giggling almost uncontrollably at this clip. "Oh....wow...." she squeaked in bewtixt giggles. "He looks....like a Caveman!"

Astrid almost laughed but frowned and said, "Oh come the heck on! Werewolves just chillin' like normal people, huh? Don't we wish!"

"I'm with Tanjiro...I wish all werewolves would be like the one shown in the clip..." Melinda commented and laughed, just slightly.

Anna burst into a fit of giggles. This was just too insane. "No, actually I don't," Anna said, smiling at Astrid. "The teens in that movie may have thought he was all that and a bag of jelly slugs, but he just annoyed me. Although, I guess I would take him over our version of werewolves anyday."

Dominic shook his head again at the utter silliness of these films. Honestly, they were supposed to be learning defense, not watching movies about defense. At least with Mr Myers they learned some spells.

"Right," Rae laughed too. "I suggest you all watch this whole movie sometime. It's absolutely a riot of goofy wrong things, one after the other." She leaned on the projector. "So maybe werewolves are somewhere in between. The issue I really had was that they suggested that the werewolf had a choice about it, or about attacking someone."

Astrid laughed back and said, "You have a point there Anna! Can you imagine a "Teen Wolf' in our Common Room?" She shook her head at the thought. It was rowdy enough in there already!
She turned her head back to the Headmistress and said, "That was the part that saddens me. I have heard horrible tales of families ripped apart by such tragedy."

"Hmmm," Anna said, thinking aloud. "I was actually too busy noticing the insanity to pick up on that fact, Professor. A werewolf actually loses all trace of human awareness during a full moon. A werewolf will attack even his or her closest friends and family members during this time. I think the Muggles were too concerned with making this 'cute and funny' to worry about correct details."

I'm pretty sure they made that film knowing it was entirely fictional and "cute"," Tanjiro commented towards the Gryffindor prefect, "wouldn't you say?"
