| | |  Fear: Dada Class 2
The shutters have been drawn on the windows of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, leaving the room in partial darkness. As you enter, your footfalls click against the cold stone floor and echo against the cavernous ceiling. There is a noticeable chill to the room. The sparse lighting is dim; slivers of dreary light from the closed shutters interrupt the darkness and cast undefinable, unnerving shapes against the walls. A few flickering, melting candles hang by ornate wall sconces, their light dancing almost ritually against the wall, as if being lightly blown by an absent wind. The faint, eerie whine of a floorboard creaking peals out from somewhere near the front of the room. ( is it just a floorboard? are you sure?) Grotesque photographs hang on the walls of the classroom, depicting images of malformed men and women suffering the effects of cruel, brutal curses. They writhe helplessly in pain, shrieking silently. Two rows of mahogany desks and benches line the walls, leaving a long, wide aisle empty for students and professor alike to walk through.
Several large wardrobes sit at the head of the class, the classroom’s regular dusty chalkboard moved to the side. Soft thumps and bumps echo about the room from no known source, often sounding like they are coming from above you—or right behind you. A chest sits at the top of the stairs to the professor’s office, rattling occasionally.
The professor is not yet apparent in the room. There is a note on the classroom board: Please come in and take a seat at one of the desks... You may wish to avoid the darker corners, and instead choose to sit in the dead center of the room. After all... You never know what might be lurking in the shadows.
-- Prof. Kazimeriz ooc: Please go ahead and RP yourself coming into the room; have fun with it, for you might've noticed it is a tad spookier in here than usual.  I'll start the class in a little while and it will run for 2-3 days so every time zone can play. Thanks, Xana~ | |

My Great Grandmamma is a ghost, she hasn't lost a bit of wit. She'll kick her foot right through your head for implying it. - But she's really nice to my sister," he amended quickly.
"That's a lovely story," Helena said and her ghostly laugh sounded like high-pitched bells. "You are a brave lad and was rightly placed in Gryffindor. Yet you show wisdom that is typical of Ravenclaw. Pray tell my brave Gryffindor lad - does the Baron frighten you?"

Jai raised a brow at Lady Ravenclaw, she'd been there long enough so the hogwarts ghosts didn't scare her but Professor Kazimeriz seemed to have a collection of ghouls locked in the room that might do the trick.
"I bet he had a boggart somewhere in here." she glared at the boggarts. She heard Lady Ravenclaws question and looked at the Gryffindor beside her "I love the baron." she said chuckling.

Lyra walked into DADA class. Immediately she wished her robes were a tad thicker as the coolness of the room raced against her skin causing her to shiver. Or maybe the shivering was from the awful portraits that hung along the walls. This man was just....crazy and there was not another one like him. Maybe this class would be fun once again as she was rather upset at the fact that his classes were extremely interesting, too bad the professor wasn't that interesting to her, just mean.

Bludgers will be on his way for sure. Miranda was still clutching onto Kaika's robes, when suddenly she felt her captain make a twitching movement which made Miranda gasp and look around. "What in the world is going on!?"
Turning to see where Kaika was looking, Miranda started to giggle at the sight of Dominic and Willow, being quite close. "Dominic and Willow sitting on a broom..." Giggle giggle, snort.

Tobi said, considering, "I mean, he doesn't have, shall we say the best reputation, and I guess it's a bit rightfully earned," he looked up at Lady Ravenclaw a bit apologetically, "but he's had good few centuries to live with his mistakes. He's mostly just gruff, at least around me. I think my Grandmamma could give him a run for his money actually."
Caroline Kinney Avalon certainly got a kick out of terrorizing Tobi, but then, when you're dead, entertainment must be hard to come by.

Willow had never been more glad that the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was so dark. Had it not been as dark as it was, everyone would have noticed the blush that was crepting on her usually pale cheeks. And that would have been embarrassing. It was the tiny, but yet loud scream that alerted Dominic to the fact that the chair he had thought he had been sitting on was much more supple and sweet than any chair before. Because of course, it wasn't a chair at all!
Feeling soft hands in his back, the fifth year jumped out of the seat as fast as if the snitch had been just seconds flying past his eyes and whirled around to be face-to-face with . . . .
The Ravenclaw Captain.
Despite the dimlit room though, he was sure there was a hint of rosiness on her cheeks as well. Which meant that as angry as she sounded, she was also -- PLEASED!?!?!!
"I'm... Oh, I was just ..." There was nothing he could really muster out as plausible explanation for his blindness. "Testing the chairs?"

"Dominic and Willow sitting on a broom..." Giggle giggle, snort. "Nothing important" she said, to answer Miranda's reaction. Because it was, after all, not important. There were many replacements, sooooo.
But she turned her head towards the girl again, "Who's Willow?" she asked, as she tilted her head to one side. That phrase simply confused her. More especially the name pronounced after Dominic's. "Oh! She's Willow?" what did Miranda know? All Kaika knew by far is that the Ravenclaw Captain was named Willow. That was it. And she'd just found out about that.

Her face fell a bit when she indeed remembered the scary classroom. "Oh well...yeah it is scary..." she said thoughtfully, grimacing a little. But then as she remembered why she was laughing, a grin appeared on her face. "Well you see, that boy over there," she pointed at Dom, "He accidentaly sat on someone!" she whispered hurriedly and started to giggle again. Quote:

Miranda turned to Kaika who was looking confused. Atleast Miranda thought so, it was hard to see in this light. "That is Willow yes!" she whispered again. She remembered how they had met at QQS when Dominic went kablamo all over the store, tearing down the equipment and such. Poor Dominic... What are you gonna do? "You think he needs any help Kaika?" Miranda asked a bit concerned. Even though Dominic could be an annoying person, he shouldn't get hurt before the game!

Games? Tobi loved games. Who didn't love games?
"What's not to love?" Tobi exclaimed, momentarily forgetting he was in a creepy-like-woah classroom.

Talk about overkill, right? As if Plymouth needed to be MORE afraid of the Kazimurderiz? Ugh. He was so creepy and now this. "I'm afraid of you and everything in there," Plymouth mumbled as he made his way past the ghost and into the room. He did NOT sit in the center though. If that's where KaziMurderiz was directing victims, then no way, no thanks. Plymouth went to the very back and took his chances with those dark corners. They couldn't be anywhere near as bad as Kazi himself, right?
Absolutely, right. | |

Her head was turned in the direction of the ghost now, the question seemed kind of odd, which is why she was paying attention now. "Well, that depends...is it Quidditch related?" if not, it could be a waste of time. But she failed to notice the randomness of the question, and the place they where sitting in...

The fourth year stacked parchment for notes, a quill, and her ink on her desk for use if Professor Kazimeriz wanted them to take notes. She was prepared. Just not mentally.
Turning to look at Lady Ravenclaw as the ghost asked the class a question, Juniper tilted her head. "What kind of games to you mean? I like most games, but not everybody does," she said, beaming. "It's probably a matter of opinion, but... you probably knew that." | |

"Wonderful!" Helena exclaimed. "Some stones are enchanted and used for protective purposes, yet other stones are used for entertainment purposes. The former stones have been placed for safe-keeping in a vault, but the latter stones were taken as a joke yet she knows not they are gone." She stopped and wondered if her strange riddle made sense for it made perfect sense to her Ravenclaw mind.

Ms. Ravenclaw thought that leaders shouldn't show any kind of fear. Okay. She could do that. She would do that. Because fear was definitely the last thing on her mind right now. Clearly.
Anger, embarrassment. Embarrassment, anger.
And she was blushing, which was about one hundred times worse. And if that wasn't enough, thanks to Dominic Denton, people were staring now; or at least his captain and that little girl from the Quidditch shop were, and. . .
Dominic and Willow sitting on a broom...
Forest green eyes turned sharply to the girl, narrowing into slits. What.Was.She.Talking.About? Had she failed to see that. . . that. . . UGH! If Kaika Lockhart was smart, she would start to think about new chasers for the second session of the match.
Upon hearing Dominic's following comment, Willow turned to look at him once again. "You were testing chairs. I see." Automatically, the girl looked away from him to pick up her messenger bag that was on the floor, before standing up. And then she looked up directly at him. "I suppose that it is a good thing to know that I look like a chair to you." And with that said, the girl flipped her curtain of hair to the back and went to seat by Juniper Goodwin with a scowl on her face.
Stupid giant with a pretty face.

Riddles often used metaphores so what were the metaphors here?
"Do you want us to work it out on our own, or discuss it with each other?" he asked the clever ghost.
Tobi figured many brains were better than one, but if it was a game, maybe he should try and work it out himself.
