Iris looked at Professor... Headmaster Tate as he started the lesson. Questions? Heh... Like ANYONE would be stupid enough to question those rules. Okay, there will probably be someone REALLY stupid enough to, but Iris just hoped it wasn't one of her Snakes that was that person. She just sat there, looking at Tate. This lesson was going to be TOUGH, wasn't it? She got out her parchment and plain quill, and set them down on the desk... Waiting for Tate to talk again. |
Lili, Lottie, Brigette <3 SPOILER!!: Jay, Vashti, Trixie Eirian walked into the DADA classroom, waving and sending her usual Portuguese greeting to... Headmaster Tate? Shrugging, she smiled anyway and made her way over to a familiar head of hair. Jay, naturally. Sliding in beside him, she looked up to him - geez, had he gotten taller? - and, not quite smiling, said, "Ola, filho." Then, looking to Vashti and Trixie flanking him - well, now them - she repeated. "Ola, Vashti. Trixie." There was no malice in her voice; she wouldn't waste her time on Trixie. She'd be gone for good eventually... hopefully sooner than later. But, until then, Eirian could at least give her a decent farewell. And then the Headmaster started talking... Alright. She got out her things. Whatever... this was going to be interesting. |
Tyler had a feeling that he would greatly enjoy this class. DADA had always been one of his favorite subjects during his lessons, and to have the opportunity to take the class with many other witches and wizards would only enhance the experience. He leaned back in his chair as the professor addressed the class. Tyler glanced up, noticing immediately the stiff posture and no-nonsense manner. No problem with that. Discipline and respect were second nature to him. |
Esme arrived in the DADA classroom and noted a few familiar faces but seeing Eben Wallace, she deliberately sat away from him. She was already in a bit of mood at having to wear work robes and sensible footwear but she smiled at the headmaster as she took out her things, ready to work. |
Lexi listened and found herself sitting up straighter in her seat as Tatertot was so... serious. Well, let's face it, he was always serious. She had her pink quill in hand, parchment spread out on her desk, shaking her head. She had no questions about his standards in the classroom. None. |
Why was Neptune Bott blowing kisses at her?!? *Blink* Trix decided to simply just smile back at her, although still a little confused as to what exactly she was doing. Was she blowing them at Jayce too? Well it was their first meeting all over again, as long as she didn't spend it all STARING at his hair. That was just....Weird. Her concentration however was drawn back to Headmaster Tate when he started speaking. Well Trixie wasn't going to leave. No way, besides she DID take things seriously. She had all her OWL's did she not? And this lesson was going to be far too enjoyable to miss out on. So the Blonde stayed firmly in her seat and simply nodded at the Headmasters question. There wasn't much else she COULD say. She was so willing for this class to start already she could of been bouncing in her seat, luckily though she prevented herself from doing so, would have looked a little foolish if she did. |
*shiver* the headmaster... Uh Professor seemed to be who doesnt play around. Brittany wondered what had she gotten herself into but she was tough girl so she could take whatever head... uh Professor threw at them... she hoped |
Oh this guy was intense. Soo not like Professor Truebridge at all. Well, no he was strict too, but at least they had fun. Were they going to have ANY fun in this class now? What was even more disappointing was that mysterious Durmstrang guy wasn’t here. She was so looking forward to perhaps sneaking a seat next to him. Eh well, since he wasn’t here, she would’ve taken a seat next to Josh…or Patroclus…but they weren’t here either. FAIL! Guess she’ll just have to settle next to Destiny. There was no way she was sitting in the front, even if Marie was up there. Parchment and quill out, comfortable in her seat with back straight, and slightly ready to learn. Woooot! |
Some of the students may have been put-off by Tate's rather formal introduction, but Kellen took something different from it. This wasn't going to be a class of palling around or, worse in his perspective, seeing who was the most competent. This was about learning, and everyone was expected to do it to the best of their ability. Even if said-ability wasn't the greatest. Terrible, even. Focus, Kellen. You can do this course. Did he have questions? No. Would he listen to other people's questions and make mental and paper notes on everything he could. Absolutely. |
Ellie tilted her head from side to side as she listened to Tate. It was very straightforward. Easy enough. And she was right, he wasn't mean. Nope. |

Straight creatures?! Perhaps that's where the smell came from? Something was killed here? Wicked! Quote:
The boy shook his head, no questions about that, plenty of questions about the chalk, though. And those straight creatures Keefer referred to. |
Greer didn't really know what this lesson was about. In fact, all the young first year had done was to follow everyone to the classroom and sit in the very front. Feet dangling below her, McKensie smiled at everything and everyone, with a look of wonder in her brown eyes to match. Questions? Nope! Why would she question what she didn't know, anyway? Like, for instance, Greer wasn't all that sure what standards or suffice meant, but they sounded important. So she'd treat them as important, keep her mouth shut and wait for more important-sounding words to sprout from the professor's mouth. Yup. |
"Excellent. Let us begin. Today's lesson will begin with the standard boiler plate regarding the purpose of this class before we get into the meat of the lesson. And then we'll have some time to apply our lesson. The sooner we get through the discussion, the more time we can spend on practice," Tate eased his weight back into a more relaxed position. "When we discuss the 'Dark Arts', we are generally referring to a variety of different concepts. While Care of Magical Creatures or Charms or Potions covers one subset of the magical world, this class covers them all. What are some of the areas of the Dark Arts you are already familiar with?" |

And that the Headmaster went all military on her. This was not what she was expecting. What happened to buddy Headmaster Tate. She wanted him back, cause they probably would play games with that Tate. Not being the little protester, and still believing that the lesson would be awesome, she pulled out her quill and parchment and listened to him begin. "Unforgivable Curses." She said with her hand halfway raised. The girl knew more about them than she wanted to know. |
They weren't friends? Aw, that was kinda sad. But Vashti kept her face as straight as possible, listening quietly to the rest of what the Headmaster had to say. Certainly was reasonable and understandable and pretty straightforward, so she had no questions. Yet, at least. Suddenly noticing Eirian, she gave the girl a smile but said nothing. She wasn't going to talk and potentially lose even more points for Ravenclaw. Nope, wasn't happening. She'd tape her mouth shut if she had to, but thus far she hadn't found a need to do so. Besides, she hadn't at all reached a level to try nonverbal spells, so it wouldn't be so useful when she needed to cast them. Her mind was wandering. Not good. She forced her brain away from the subject of taping mouths closed and back to the class at hand. Much better use of her time here. Yup. Quote:

Jayce allowed his eyes to wander around the room, recognizing a few people from classes last year, and a couple he had met at parties. Oh, and there was Neptune. Who had.. Wait. What? She.. she just blew him a kiss? He stared at her bewildered before returning to his wander. Soon enough, he found Eiri. She was late. Well, compared to him she was. He threw a smirk in her direction before allowing his eyes to return back to the headmaster. Wow. The headmaster surely didn't beat around the bush. His words were kind of scary, but truthful, yes? After a moment of silence, he realized the headmaster had paused to allow people to leave. Jay turned around in his seat, looking for any sights of movement. Not seeing anyway, he turned back to the front and listened to the rest of the speech or rather, he waited for class to truly begin. |

Lara was listening to thr professor very carefuly she like this subject so she wanted to catch every word the professor says, but obviously he hasn't started yet. She was holding her quill tightly in case she had to write something down.And she was wondering what can students ask or it was just a thing to be said so she nods waiting to start the lesson. |
This was interesting. Very interesting. Danika was simply curious to hear what Hogwarts had to say, because...well, in Durmstrang they were pretty familiar with the Dark Arts themselves. And Headmaster Tate should know that already, of course. |
Ling ambled into the room with his shaggy bangs covering a good portion of his eyes and his head pointed down. He loved Defense Against the Dark Arts, practically worshiped any and all of the knowledge he could hammer into his brain. The one kicker was the teachers. Sometimes the class would get a easy-going professor and other times, they would be bestowed with a real horse's behind. So far, this man wasn't exactly the friendliest type from what he could discern but Ling wasn't about to judge him. As long as he did his job and filled his brain with more tactics, they probably would get along. Besides, what would he have against a shy, studious fifth year anyway? He hardly ever talked, except to give an answer, and did his work the moment he got it. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad this year. He glanced around the room at the other students. He couldn't really tell if they were as enthusiastic for the class as he was. Then again, he was the biggest dork around. |
Pam put her book down as class begun. She looked at him curiously. She didn't raise, her hand, for she was never told anything, but she was very curious as to what there was to learn |

Esme could have gone on to describe the other curses but she thought that someone else might want to. Besides, she didn't want to sound like a know-it-all. |
As he listened to the Headmaster's words, Josh busied himself by drawing something on the desk with his quill. Hmm maybe he could draw a lion. Rawr! Or maybe a dragon and show it to Evelyn. There was no doubt she'd like it since she loved dragons. But what use would be a dragon on a desk would be of? He did not know. So he only did a few scratches and dropped the quill in order to... Answer a question.. Quickly raising his hand, he stood up ''Is not anything magical aimed for a bad intention considered dark magic, sir?'' |
Iris listened to Headteacher Tate... What areas of DADA was she familiar with? Um... Very little, to be perfectly honest. THIIIIINK Iris, THINK! Raising her hand nervously, Iris spoke up. "Um... Well, I'm familiar with some of the creatures that people consider to be "Dark" ... Like Kappas and Grindilows..." Heh... Okay, so they weren't the DARKEST of creatures... But they were still taught in this class. "I've also read alot about Dementors and Werewolves." So they're interesting? It's not wrong to read about school stuff for light reading, was it? |
