DADA Lesson 1
 

Professor Lawson had spent the last hour setting up the classroom for the first lesson. All the desks had been removed except for his and only the chairs remained. He hung some lanterns from the ceiling, placed a few suits of armor into the corners of the room. A large box sat on his desk.

He moved around the room to make sure that everything seemed to be in place before he threw open the door to allow the students arrival and walked back and leaned against the edge of his desk, his arms folded and his feet crossed at the ankles.

"Please come in, put your bags to to the side, take out only your wands and have a seat."



ooc:Please RP exactly where your character retrieves their wand. Thank you.

Demetria walked into the strange setting of the DADA classroom. "Hello professor." she smiled and set her bag against the wall, pulling out her wand in the process. Dem went over and took a seat in an empty chair, waiting for the class to begin.

Miranda quickly made her way to the DADA lesson. This was going to be exciting and it was with a new professor!
Walking through the door she noticed the Professor and then all the invisible desks...well there were no desks but lots of chairs.
"Good day Professor Lawson!" Miranda greeted with a wave, walked to the right side of the room, sat down at the front of the classroom to see better and took out her wand.

What indeed will happen today?

Lyra walked into the......classroom? it didn't look like a classroom and she looked around with a curious expression on her face. She placed her bag at the side of the room and grabbed her wand. "Hello Professor Lawson" she greeted with a smile.

Reese entered the classroom and looked at the Professor when he started telling them what to do with their bags and stuff. She nodded and walked over to the wall and sat her bag down. Then, She headed over to a vacant seat and before she sat down she pulled her wand out of her right robe pocket. "Hello Professor," she said as she finally took her seat.

Celandine dumped her bag at the side of the room and headed to a desk, flicking her wrist to release her wand from the holster on the inner side of her left arm as she did so. "Hello Professor Lawson."

Satine walked into the DADA classroom full of excitement... all of her lessons had been so entertaining and looking around at the desk empty class, she felt like this one was going to interactive as well...she smiled at the Professor, "Howzit Professor. It looks great in here!" and then headed to the edge to put her purple bag down...she reached into the special pouch on the edge her cloak that kept her wand safe but in easy reach and went out on the floor to join the other students..she had a seat towards the front and waiting for things to get started.

Kiri entered the room and looked around curiously. No desks? They were going to have a practical lesson, then? Her Defence against the Dark Arts book was one of those currently irretrievable because of the water flooding the Dungeons, so any lesson where she wouldn't have to ask other students or teachers for books was a positive thing. She was a little wary of DADA practicals, though. It wasn't something she was especially good at.

After greeting the professor, Kiri went off to the side of the classroom and deposited her bag on the ground, bending down to pull out her wand. She spotted Raiden on a chair a couple of metres away from her, so, equipped with only her wand as instructed, she walked over and sat down next to him, smiling and saying Hello quietly.

Diane took her wand out from her belt. Not because she was much of a dueller, but because her wand usually got in her way. She sat with her wand at hand, though it puzzled her. Having a seat and taking out wands don't usually occur in that order.

Wand in one hand and textbook in the other, Anna Greingoth entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with an expectant look on her face. New school year, new professor. This should be interesting, though, as Anna had heard Professor Lawson was a pretty cool guy. Anna would have taken a seat, but all the chairs seemed to have been removed. Ahh, a practical lesson! Interesting, indeed! "Good day, Professor Lawson," she said, moving to stand at some point in the middle of the room.

She glanced up and noticed the lanterns hung from the ceiling, then she glanced over to the side and took in the sight of suits of armor placed into the corners of the room. As she was told, Anna put her bookbag, along with her textbook, to the side. Her wand was already in her hands, so she didn't need to pull it out.

Victoria walked into the classroom, she was excited she had heard alot of good things about this lesson. She found a desk, waited for her friends and the class to start.

Mariel walked towards the DADA classroom, messenger bag slug over her shoulder. Although it was not her very favorite class, she found she had much enjoyed it last year. Sure, Kazimeriz was awfully scary, but he knew his subject and was an outstanding teacher. The third year had been quite impressed with how much she had learned under his teaching.

So it was with mixed apprehension and excitement that she approached the door of the classroom today, but she stopped in the doorway, somewhat surprised by what she saw. The classroom looked vastly different than it did a year ago. Gone were the gruesome pictures that hung around the room, instead replaced by suits of armor and laterns. But not only that, instead of Kazimeriz waiting for his students to assemble, he was also replaced by someone new - a teacher she remembered seeing at the Welcoming feast. Slightly bemused by these turn of events, Mariel slowly made her way out of the doorway and set her bag to the side of the room. After she found herself a seat at a deskless chair, the third year pulled the wand from her pocket and gave the professor a polite smile as she greeted him. "Hello, Professor."

Sarah entered the DADA classroom with apprehension.She got a good score on her finals last year,but Kazimeriz had still scared the bejesus out of her in the process.She was hoping the new teacher would be nicer,but after seeing how he was with Ricco at the feast Sarah wasn't holding her breath.
Sarah took a seat as close to the back as possible,after she had put her bag down on the floor with the others and taken her wand out from inside her right robe pocket.Being right handed it was the best place for her to get to it easily....you never know when you might need it!
She added a quiet "Hello Professor Lawson." for good measure.

She put her wand on her desk, where was her friends? Was she the only first year in the lesson?

Cam was excited for the first DADA lesson and curiously wondered what they were going to do. Fight off werewolves? Attack dragons? Learn the most complicated spell in the book? Err--maybe not but whatever, he needed to learn this stuff for uh, well, future stuff he was possibly going to do? Possibly. But he sure wished they weren't going to do something booooring as learning the safeties and all. Who cared about safety anyways?! This was DADA. And hopefully, there was no safety. There was only going to be chaos and danger and EVEN MOAAAARRR CHAOS.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA... Oh. Right.

He opened up the door and noticed an adult doood standing there in front of the room. Who the heck was he? Wait. So that creeeepy Kazi really did stop teaching DADA?! OMG OMG OMG. That was totally a relief. That old man had a backbone, not literally, but people could make feaaar of him from just those old eyes of his. And his old nose. And his old mouth. And his whole ancient body. So Cam was reaaallly relieved that old man wasn't teaching this class anymore--Potions for him was fine--but ... still... who wanted to see Kazi with a wand in his hand? That was like... that was scary.

"Hiiii Professah," and because he didn't have any bags or basically anything at all because of the flood, just got out his wand from his side pocket and took a seat. Oh thank Merlin's booger that his wand wasn't drowned or keeled. His wand; it was basically the most important asset in his whole entire wizard life.

He soon took a seat after and waited for the class to begin.

Jule walked into DADA. She was excited and saw Vicky sitting by herself. She walked over and said, "Hey you. Mind if i join you?"

Hayley walked into the the classroom, and noticed the desks were absent. Listening to Professor Lawson's instructions, she took a seat nearby Kiri and the boy she always seemed to be with. Sure, she wasn't gonna talk to them(well, she didn't wanna get in trouble!) but it would be nice to be near some people she knew during a class for once. Besides, these were older students who could maybe help her if she needed it! "Hello, Professor!" she said brightly.

Settling herself in, Hayley pulled out her cherrywood wand(which she had named Steve) and sat her messengerbag on the the floor next to the front left leg of her chair. Okay she thought to herself, Let's get this show on the ROAD!
