| | |  DADA Class 1
There was a brisk snap to the air in the unheated classroom as Tate set himself up at the desk in the front of the room and tightened the scarf still tied around his neck. Once the fire in the corner did its job, the room would be much more comfortable, and he would be able to remove the scarf and get his fingers working normally again.
The fireplace was surely enchanted, because it wasn't long before feeling returned to his hands and the room felt almost cheery with warmth. Almost. It was still a little nippy, but would surely warm through the class period. Tate flicked his wand at the door, letting it swing open to admit students to Defense Against the Dark Arts. | |

Ikenna stepped forward from the door and closer to his adversary. The corner of his lip rose ever so slightly into a sneer.
"Your history books have been written by the 'winners' who share the exact same ideas as you. The only thing I fear is the future of your students who have already been damaged by your calloused, so-called 'educating' hand." clearing his throat "um Sir,I said the same thing in class the Head master didnt scold me tell me I was wrong in Fact because he hasent said things to lead us away from those thoughts is how i came up with the question isint that the point of learning is all ways trying to get to the answer of your own questions ?

"It's my class," Tate spread his hands and gave the man a disarming smile. Read this: we will teach Defense how it pleases us, kthx. "As far as I can tell I'm still in charge of this classroom, and the man upstairs who has the power to protest how I choose to teach also happens to be me. Funny how that works."
That wasn't to say that Tate didn't believe that every word he'd taught was true or that he didn't feel like it was an important topic to handle. It just meant that he wasn't going to explain himself anymore.
Tate glanced back toward Jake and shook his head slightly, although he couldn't help looking a little pleased. "No need, my boy. Mr. Gevrik's opinion of me is formed. Has been since he showed up here."
WHY was that girl still fighting? The class was over, and there were certainly bigger issues right now. Like the hulking great man at the back of the class. Tate gave her a sideways glance, bemused, before turning back to the man.
"Like i said Sir great class I learnd loads looking to Mr Gevrik" and now I have learnd more because I have more questions"

That was.... interesting.
Jim stood up and shot a sideways look at the headmaster then left the room, Quibbler held under his arm.

History is written by the winners? True in most respects.
So what happens when the losers come around and turns history on its head?
The Slytherin lad smirks and shifts his messenger bag on his shoulder. Giving a final nod to the Headmaster, he turns for the door and strolls down the corridor.

But the smile soon left.
Gevric.
"Tate's an awesome teacher. And headmaster. And guy," he pointed out loudly, staring at Gevrik. Seriously, the guy had been awesome to him in this lesson. "The only damaged kids I saw were the ones with far too much attitude and a need for attention."
And he should know.
Jake was not afraid to stare his opinion here, whoever it agreed with. He still respected both men, after all… but surely Ikenna could have waited to do all this if he didn't want people to hear and pipe up.
And he wasn't leaving yet.
Mainly because Neptune still had his cloak.
Neptune had zero intention of returning Jake's cloak. Did he really think he'd get it back? How precious was he?
She was a little put out that Mr. Gevrik hadn't stayed around for meet and greets. He was being such a grumpy britches, and could have USED some Neptune Bott in his life. Maybe her and Jake could stop by and visit with him later? Giggle.
Neptune folded up the accumulate Jake Points and put them into his pocket, then got to her feet using his hand. That she kept. Teehee sneaky Bott! "Do you think I should give the Headmaster a hug? Mr. Grumpy Gevrik was a little hard on him." | |

As soon as Gevrik was leaving the room Sakura slung her bag over her shoulder and made to move as well. It was time to be doing other things than staying in the classroom. The Headmaster could look after himself, but hopefully now Gevrik wouldn't air his protests in public so much. Sakura had liked the man before, now she still liked him but was more suspicious of his motives.
"Like I said sir, great lesson, I can't wait until the next one," that said Sakura quickly removed herself from the room.

And this one had a strange sense of timing and an effusive love for adjectives. He gave her a polite nod and a tight smile. "Thanks, child. I hope you enjoy our second class just as much."
"It just went longer than I expected," Tate reassured the Ravenclaw girl. "But that is easy to repair. No need to apologize." "Oh I will, Sir," Elle smiled thoughtfully. Why did he look sad and disturbed? She heard some insults and harsh comments a while back and decided not to interfere.
"Good bye, Headmaster Tate! See you in the next lesson." Elle left the room and ventured out into the Courtyard.

He gave a reeeeeeeeeally small, tight, 'I guess' kind of smile, and nodded.
And Gevrik had left.
Yeah, you run away. Quote:

The young man squeezed Neptune's hand and GRINNNNNED like a small child who had just inherited a candy shop from a distant relative. Life was good.
Hmmm. "Maybe... you should ask. Some people don't like hugs."
I mean. Some teachers FREAKED OUT.
And others thought it inappropriate.
"He's a tough guy though. I'm sure it'd take more than a grumbly Ministry worker to bring him down," Jake pointed out, and glanced at the Headmaster with a smile. Yeah, we're talking about you.
Still... she could ask.
And give him beans.
HOWEVER, Jake had her hand now. GOOD LUCK GETTING PLACES WITHOUT IT! MWAHAHHAHA. Ahem.

Sabel half skittered, half jumped out of Ikenna's way, his frown following after the man. He really liked to threaten people didn't he?
His eyes flicked back to Tate from across the threshold of the door. Well that was certainly a damper on a good lesson. "You know that agitated feeling, when you have an itch on the bottom of your foot and you just can't reach it because your sneakers are in the way?" His nose wrinkled in discomfort at even thinking of it. "Mr. Gevrik reminds me of one of those itches." Perhaps some itching powder in his socks would give him a bit of perspective on what it felt like.

His nostrils flared slightly but he managed to contrive a neutral tone nonetheless.
"It is currently your class. Rest assured that your style of instruction will be discussed at a later date, Tate."
Nodding once to the few students around him, Ikenna turned and deliberately strode out of the room, disappearing completely once he had reached a clear portion of corridor. Tate watched the man leave in silence, letting out a huff of air once the room was clear. "I'm looking forward to that," he grumbled under his breath. Quote:

Ahem.
Neptune was skeptical that someone wouldn't want attention from her. She enjoyed attention from almost everyone.... But, she also wasn't entirely in the mood to argue about the little things. If Jake didn't think Tate need a hug, then Tate didn't need a hug.
...did Jake need a hug?
Or more importantly, did Neptune? She considered this. Verdict pending.
Neptune gathered up her bag, shouldered it, then gave Jake the go-ahead nod. Ready to depart, kind sir. Giggle. "Bye Headmaster! You were lovely today! Keep your chin up!" She swung Jake's hand, clearly hap-hap-HAPPY, and nudged him with her hip towards the door. Tiiiiime to go!

After adding the last bit of information to her notes, Vashti started to gather her things when Mr. Security Guy had appeared. What in Merlin's name? Had he been there the whole time? Creepy, much?
But she was intrigued to hear what he had to say so she had slowed down her pace, and only put her last book into her bag and slung it over her shoulder once the guy had left. Tone and subjective style of teaching? "Currently" his class? Merlin's beard, was he going to try and get the Headmaster fired? Or just unable to continue teaching DADA? But either way, it sounded vaguely similar to a certain other Ministry official who had been sent to investigate Hogwarts many years ago.
The history section in the library would definitely be the next place Vashti went.
As she made her way to the door, she said, "Thanks for the lesson, Headmaster. I really enjoyed it." No matter what Mr. Security Guy or those overly-sensitive first years said. "Have a good day."
Now off to the library!

With another gentle squeeze of Neptune's hand, Jake couldn't help but remain grinning. He nodded when she spoke to Tate and headed of towards the door with her, at the last minute calling back, "Guess I'll be seeing you in the Training room soon, sir. Awesome lesson."
And then, as he gently swung Neptune's hand before placing that arm around her shoulders and still holding her hand, he added, "Later, sir."

With his mouth hanging open, Patroclus watch the furious exchange of the two men.
It was like a duel, of words, and the Prefect could not tear his eyes from it.
As Gevrik stormed from the room, Patroclus found what he was looking for, rose from his chair and headed towards the door, not before stopping to say,
"Well I thought it was an excellent lesson" he smiled, before recalling "Not bias, false or corrupting at all."
His piece said, the boy headed out.
