The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was cold, dank and dimly lit by dreary light streaming through the windows, supplanted by a few sputtering candles hanging in sconces. Long, dark wood tables filled the room, each paired with two sturdy wooden stools and inkwells for the students' use. On the walls of the classroom were horrific moving pictures of people writhing in excruciating pain, as well as images of men and women suffering from cruel cursed deformities. On the bottom of each frame there was a small plaque indicating the spell that was depicted in the photograph.
At the front of the classroom there was a large, dusty chalkboard and a lectern. There was also a desk laden with ancient books and an assemblage of dark detectors whirring away busily.
The professor was not yet in the room. The charmed chalkboard contained a simple message:
ooc: Please RP entering the class and I will bring in the Professor as soon as we have a fair amount of people in attendance. Please do not use this as a chat thread or I will delete your posts without further warning! This class session will be open until Monday evening (possibly Tuesday evening) EST to allow people of every time zone ample time to participate.  | |

Cale walked into the classroom, instantly picking Anna out of the crowd and heading over to take a seat by her. He glanced around at the classroom and looked at the pictures on the wall, shuddering at the horror being displayed on each one. Plus, the room was FREEZING, and even though he was wearing the sweater vest portion of his uniform, he was still cold. With a sudden urge to dart out of the room, he sat down in a seat next to Anna. This professor wasn't even in the room yet and he was scaring Cale out of his mind!

Wishing she had brought her cloak as the room didn't seem much warmer than the crisp autumn air outdoors, the thirteen year old first glanced up at the front of the room to respectfully greet the professor. Finding that he wasn't in the classroom, she let out the breath that she had previously been unaware that she had been holding. Then the Ravenclaw girl glanced around the room looking for a suitable seat. She had intended on sitting front and center to show that she was willing and eager to learn, but upon seeing that those seats were unexpectedly taken, she settled for sitting behind the two Ravenclaw girls that were in the front row.
Mariel immediately pulled out her textbook and began skimming through the chapter she had already read in preparation for the class. Then she froze. What if the professor found her to be presumptuous in taking out her book before she was instructed to? Would he take points away from her again? She bit her lower lip as she contemplated putting her book away. But what if she did and he found her to be wasting valuable time in his classroom? She was completely unsure of what to do, but in the end decided she was being silly and kept her book where it was. A little extra reading couldn't hurt and it would distract her from the horrific pictures hung all over the room. Nathaniel saw Mariel walk into the cold room and he smiled at her. No use in talking. He didn't want points taken off.

The cold didn't affect her at all. Daphne sat stiffly on her chair as she began taking out a piece of parchment and her self-inking quill, just in case this was more of a theoretical class than a practical class. Running out of things to do, Daphne sat sideways, her back turned to Garret, and re-did her one-sided braid.

Abby looks around at the pictures on the walls. I guess that's what happens to you when you misbehave in class. It doesn't take long for Abby to realize Professor Kazimeriz keeps his classroom as cold as a tomb. She goes through her bag and finds her sweater. Quickly she takes off her robes and slips her sweater on. She doesn't want to be accused of being out of uniform. Abby wishes this class would get started. | |

William was offically freezing now and wished he had brought his sweater. Why did professor Kazimeriz have to have a freezing room? Couldn't a heater be useful. Oh yeah no electricity or whatever it was called. Rubbing his hands over his arms he looked around at the pictures a new shiver creeping up his arm.s he better behave in this class.

The air at the top of the stairs shimmered and suddenly Professor Kazimeriz was there, standing high above the students on the top landing of the stairs.
He was clad in black robes that accented his vulture-like stoop and his liver-spotted, arthritic claws clutched the silver head of his obsidian cane. He peered at the students, surveying them. His eyes narrowed as they rested for a moment on a student scrambling to collect his dropped supplies... then his eyes continued moving across the rows of seated students. At long last, he nodded once.
"Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts." Professor Kazimeriz addressed the students, his voice ringing clearly through the hall. "Toussaint. Yaxley. Morgan. Hopton. You will all stand, please."

Theo giggled as people were made to stand. He was glad he wasn't asked. He would've either done nothing, or set fire to someone.

She looked at the students he called to stand. They were crazy if they did. Although running targets were harder to hit. She sunk lower in her chair as she waited to see what he was going to do.

Taking pity on the little first year who looked like he was turning blue from the cold. Kayla reached down into her bag and pulled out a sweater. Lucky for him she was not into pink or anything and that this sweater was black. Wordlessly she handed him the sweater and turned back to the front.

Sam entered the room and let a confused expression fall onto her face. Hadn't this guy ever hear of light? Sheesh. She felt like lighting her wand to see where she was going. Taking a quick glance around the room, she recognized a little boy who was probably the only boy Katie got along with. "Mind if I sit?" she asked him with a smile, and set her book bag down next to her. She then chuckled as William began rubbing his hands to get warmer. Slipping off her navy blue jacket, she offered it to him. "Here. You look cold." she teased.
As the professor asked for them the other four to stand, she looked on idly.

Abby didn't know if she should be relieved or upset that the professor had not ordered her to stand up. She did have to give him brownie points for his dramatic entrance. If he's trying to scare his students, he's doing a pretty good job. Abby looks him square in the eyes. She's never been on to be disrespectful to any teacher even ones who seem to find her trying. | |

Mariel's eyes snapped to the figure who had just entered the room and who happened to be Professor Kazimeriz. She inwardly gasped as he called her name to rise, but she kept her expression calm. Was she in trouble already? Of course not, what could she have done? Nodding respectfully to the DADA professor, the young Ravenclaw rose from her seat and stood next to her chair.

Daphne nearly fell off her seat and lost her grace. Fingers tangled in her hair, she turned her face slowly at the Professor, paling in the process. Haphazardly, she finished her braid and stood up immediately. "Yes, sir."
Oh, Merlin. KraziKazi was so shimmery--and scary. Breathing heavily, she stiffened as she straightened her posture and absently pulled on the hem of her skirt to make sure it was wrinkle free.

Actually... Jake didn't know if that was good or bad, but he waited and watched. This class might turn out cool.
Erm... in the figurative sense, as well as literally.

Garret felt chills run down his spine at the man's sudden appearance, then he called on the four who were to be today's sacrifices. Even if he didn't want to be with Daphne, he didn't want her... he swallowed... dead.
His hand found hers and he gripped to reassure her before he let go, giving her a little shove. He would be here for her.
Not.

Cale blinked as the Professor seemed to appear out of thin hair. Holy Merlin! This professor was by far one of the most intimidating teachers Cale had ever had. Except for the Ministry professors, but they were more annoying than intimidating. This guy just reminded him of...something creepy. Maybe it was his cane--Cale was afraid that if he annoyed the professor, he'd smack him with it or something.
Looking around as names were called, he let out a small sigh when he wasn't asked to stand. Cale hadn't been having the best of luck lately when it came to standing up in front of the class. Something embarrassing almost always happened to him.

Tanjiro winced as he heard the professor call out the names students. Most of them Slytherins... He sighed and smacked his head.

Tobi cowered in his seat as the Professor's eyes passed over him.
Himinwibbidy... he thought. The universal word for 'Mercy, scary old man!'
And then he... nodded? at him... Tobi would be confused but he was too busy being terrified.
As he called Cela, Daphne, a girl he knew to be named Camira, and some totally unfamiliar girl up, Tobi was utterly relieved he was not called. He had enough to worry about thank you. But he was a little worried about Celandine and Daphne.

Toussaint? Morgan? Merlin, they were in trouble already? It shouldn't surprise him, but Copernicus was starting to feel way out of his league. He straightened in his seat and tried to look alert. OOOH. Not Plymouth Morgan. Another Morgan. Good.

Lasca gave a start as Mariel was instructed to stand. She gave her friend an encouraging smile. She was excited to see what the Professor had in store. Everyone thought that the Professor was mean, but Lasca didn't think so.
Returning her attention to the Professor she waited to see what was in store for her fellow Ravenclaw.

Barry watched as those were asked to stand. Obviously his faveroutes. He wasn`t jealous not with this wethered thing but he felt sorry for Cela, Camira, Daphne and who? He watched.

Cam looked up to the stairs to see the evil (or so he thought) professor and screamed inside his mind at the sight of the old man. He didn't know why but this man looked super duper scary but all he could do was to continue folding his arm for warmth. Hearing the man's voice, he was shocked that such an old man could make such a big voice. Once the professor started to call out names he looked around the room to see who they were. There was Camira, but he didn't know anyone else from that group. Curious, he looked at the students who stood up and then back to the professor, wondering what he was going to do with them.
What are they, his test subjects?

Camira quickly stood up, giving the professor a slight bow, smirk firmly planted on face. Were they going to do a demonstration already? Oh, she hoped so. She was definitely ready.

As the professor asked for them to stand, she followed directions, and stood up from her stool. William smiled as someone he recognized sat beside him. Nodding his head he gladly took the coat, whispering, "Thanks." in a slightly shaky voice before handing the sweater back to the other girl. "You might need it." he added whispering.
He turned back to the professor once more as he asked a few students to stand. Uh oh what was this now?
He was definitely scared.
