Default DADA Lesson One

Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson One


Upon entering the classroom, ones first thought could have been that they had walked into the wrong room and was actually joining a cult. The room was exceedingly dark, windows having been closed off with dark burgundy, almost black looking, drapes that hung from ceiling to floor. Deep purple colored mats were lined perfectly from one another on the floor in rows of six while a deep red one sat in the front of them all where Professor Medea currently sat upon. However, one could find their way around the room, for scattered around were a great deal of candles, both lighting portions of the walls, floors, and ceiling itself in a rather ghostly glow fashion. Candles that floated in water surrounded with the stationary candles to light up the particularly extra shiny floor were placed strategically around so no one would accidentally catch fire, while large rectangle like shapes cradling the ceiling with an orange glow gave the final look to the room.

In front of each mat is a parchment already shaped into a long cone to be easily placed in front of you to be read. Of course, the Professor hasn't placed names to face yet, so please come in, complete the task of writing your name on the parchment in a mostly dark room, and become comfortable on one of the mats. Class will be starting shortly!



OOC: Please come in and take a seat on one of the mats [and be familiar with the rules and expectations]. Also, so you aren't referred to as 'that kid' or 'hey you', have your character fill out the name tag so we know who you are. The lesson will begin in about 12 hours or so. Feel free to hang out, but please don't add pages and pages of chatter.

Class has BEGUN! Please don't post a late arrival. Just jump in like your character has been there the whole time.

Triangle Pose


He really wasn't good at this Yoga thing. His stomach muscles hurt already from the short moment they'd been doing the last position. Maybe he should work out a little more often. Because if not, he was probably going to die during the next DADA lesson.

Hurrying to get up when the professor told them to, Lewis tried his best to imitate the professor's movements. Okay, that wasn't THAT hard. Only problem was raising his hand to answer the next question. Trying to raise the one hand that was supposed to be 'reaching out for one of the lights' he wobbled again, almost losing his balance. Okay, this wasn't going to work. He was just going to...say the answer. "They're divided into the three groups of Jinxes, Hexes & Curses." Lewis replied, taking a deep breath.

Violet was glad she was finally able to get up. She stretched high to the ceiling, put her left arm down to her right angle and looked up at the ceiling. Gosh it felt good. "One of the three groups of dark spells is Curses, which can be for example the Unforgivable Curses." Violet said to the teacher more confidently.

Nate tilted his head largely to one side. Triangle pose? What? If yoga could defend against dark arts, then Nate might stop mentally complaining about it. But, to his knowledge, it did not. Thus, the complaints went on. We had better be getting House points for yoga participation... he thought with a sigh.

Wearily , he stood and spread his legs apart. After another long, drawn out sigh, he finished the pose, with his wand arm down. That way it was closer to the shadows that still remained in the room. Just in case.

His other hand counted as raised, didn't it? "Dark spells are categorized into hexes, jinxes, and curses. Not all of these do as much harm as others. For example, the Killing Curse versus one of my favorites, the Jelly-Legs Curse," he said, his voice a little strained from the bent over pose he was in.

They were changing pose, but that was no relief, since it was only to stand in a yet more silly position. It was hard to even listen to the Professor speak when doing yoga, let alone concentrate on an answer and put your hand up. Eventually, Ariadne managed to do that, though.

'Jinxes, hexes and curses, with curses being the most powerful and longer-lasting of them, followed by hexes.' the girl replied.

Triangle Pose
Triangle Position?

o_O

Evelyn saw that the professor demonstrated the position and..it didn't look so bad. She spread her feet out, leaned on one side and grabbed her ankle while she stretched her hand out on the other side. Okay. Good.

Unfortunately, the girl leaned way too much, lost her balance and...fell down with a thump. Oh, no. She immediately stood up, feeling extremely embarrassed and really hoped no one noticed. EEK! Anyway, she wasn't going to do it again. Once was bad enough.

She raised her hand and said confidently, "They are classified into Jinxes, Hexes and Curses."

Laura stared at the Professor and gave her one of her I can't be bother look, seriously why did they need to know this surely they should be practicing spells, thinking about how she was going to answer the question she smiled as she said. "I'm sure there are three weird name groups to classify them into."

Finally!, Gwen thought while noticing everyone started changing the position. However, the smirk on her face soon disappeared. The triangle? Are you kidding me?!, the girl thought while trying to focus on the next question. Hmm… let’s see…. ‘The three groups are Curses, hexes and jinxes.', she started saying, and, after a short pause, she added: 'And… umm...curses are longer-lasting’ I guess…

Thea did not know the answer to this question. hoever, she gave it a try. 'I don't know if this is an actual group professor, but three certain curses are the Unforgivable Curses aren't they?' Thea took a bit of dark hair and twirled her finger round it.

She didn't know much about the dark arts, or defence. The only defence she knew about was the Muggle way.. but obviously that method would not be much use in the wizarding world.

Triangle Pose
Oh yeah that's what he had meant. "Yes, Professor; minus that stuff!" he chirped from his position on the mat diagonal from her. He didn't mean that every animal that attacked people was a Dark creature.

-----------

Glad to finally be out of the boat position after almost falling over three, four..more like six times, August gladly went into the new Triangle position that Professor Romanos was instructing them to do.

Dark spells and magic. He knew they were seperated into different groups now what were they....? Waving his already raised hand, because of the triangle pose, Augst began to speak up. "Well Dark spells are categorized into three groups: jinxes, hexes, and..." he had to think for a second. "curses. Those are in order of strength or evilness too I think." he said trying to resteady himself.

Great, now they were bending their body in another unnatural position. Selina was not a ballerina or a yoga... person... she was a Quidditch player. So when she was asked to contort her body in a way that was not doable on a broomstick, she failed horribly. However, she stood up, put her legs shoulder length apart, rose her hands out to the side like a propeller and then leaned over so her one arm was touching her toe and the other was up in the air.

As soon as she looked up in the air she found that the position was very difficult to keep balance with. Looking straight ahead was not a problem, it was the looking up part that made her equilibrium go off balance. To the best of her ability she answered, "Wel ma'am, the three types are hexes, jinxes and curses...." Ow.

"Onto the topic of spells. Does anyone know the three groups that dark spells are classified in?"


Eino shook his head in response to the professor's answer. "No, not just, professor. I believe that is one characteristic that defines a dark creature, though I do believe there are more." But he didn't want to drag the lesson, so he paused there and exchanged a small smile with the professor.

As the professor when around the room addressing each student, Eino listened to their brief exchange of words, but couldn't really note any of them. He really hoped they didn't learn anything new while playing... yoda, was it? He would never be able to remember it for finals without notes. Finally, they were prompted to stand up and stretch their legs. He followed the instructions and mimicked Professor Romano's demonstration. When she asked them another question, he raised his hand. "Jinxes, hexes, and curses, with jinxes at the base as the weakest and curses at the top as the most powerful." It was generally acceptable to cast jinxes and hexes, though not if you were the target.

Alyssa quickly jotted what the Professor said in her journal before she stood up and stretched her legs and back before assuming the newest position that the Professor had asked them to be in. As she bent sideways, she thought of the answer to the next question the Professoe had posed. Trying to maintain her balance and raise her hand at the same time to answer, Alyssa said, "Professor the three groups that dark spells are grouped under are Curses, for example Unforgiveable Curses, Jinxes and Hexes."

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Yay! Finally, no more boat pose. Oakey stood up stretched his back then got into the same position that the Professor was in. Professor, these spells are classed under Jinxes Hexes and of course, Curses.

Glad that she didn't have to stay in that boat position anymore, Nora copied the professor's position, the triangle thing. Not comfortable, but better than the previous one.

"Curses, hexes and jinxes," she said when she raised her hand. Or... maybe she should have started with the less dangerous ones?

After having two questions that Lily was unable to answer, She was disappointed to have another question that she didn't know the answer to. So after moving into the new position Lily listened real closely to try and commit some of this stuff to her memory. She really wished that she had read up on the material for this class, but there were so many other classes that she had to read up on too because she was muggleborn. So Lily just remained in the pose listening to the other's answers while waiting for a question that she knew the answer to.

More yoga? Silvia wondered if there was any particular reason related to the subject of the class for why they were doing this. She hadn’t had much trouble keeping her balance with the boat position, but it certainly wasn’t comfortable. Not to mention she had hardly any physical endurance for this sort of thing and it was very tiring. And how were they even expected to take notes? It was difficult to pay full attention to the lesson when some of her focus had to be directed towards the yoga.

Oh well, at least this position wasn’t as difficult as the last, although her arm was tired within seconds. She wasn’t yet familiar with the different classifications of spells, so she remained quiet and listened to the other students’ answers, hoping that she could remember the important points without having a chance to write them down yet.

Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.

Jezzabelle let her feet drop with a sigh of relief. If this happened every lesson she'd never have to worry about exercising. She pushed up to her feet and mimicked the Professor's stance. Seeing as she already had a hand up in the air she answered, "Jinxes, hexes, and curses, Professor." She felt more comfortable in this stance that she had the other two. Not as much work....maybe she was doing it wrong.

His other hand counted as raised, didn't it? "Dark spells are categorized into hexes, jinxes, and curses. Not all of these do as much harm as others. For example, the Killing Curse versus one of my favorites, the Jelly-Legs Curse," he said, his voice a little strained from the bent over pose he was in.

'Jinxes, hexes and curses, with curses being the most powerful and longer-lasting of them, followed by hexes.' the girl replied.

Evelyn saw that the professor demonstrated the position and..it didn't look so bad. She spread her feet out, leaned on one side and grabbed her ankle while she stretched her hand out on the other side. Okay. Good.

Unfortunately, the girl leaned way too much, lost her balance and...fell down with a thump. Oh, no. She immediately stood up, feeling extremely embarrassed and really hoped no one noticed. EEK! Anyway, she wasn't going to do it again. Once was bad enough.

She raised her hand and said confidently, "They are classified into Jinxes, Hexes and Curses."

Hmm… let’s see…. ‘The three groups are Curses, hexes and jinxes.', she started saying, and, after a short pause, she added: 'And… umm...curses are longer-lasting’ I guess…

She didn't know much about the dark arts, or defence. The only defence she knew about was the Muggle way.. but obviously that method would not be much use in the wizarding world.

Glad to finally be out of the boat position after almost falling over three, four..more like six times, August gladly went into the new Triangle position that Professor Romanos was instructing them to do.

Dark spells and magic. He knew they were seperated into different groups now what were they....? Waving his already raised hand, because of the triangle pose, Augst began to speak up. "Well Dark spells are categorized into three groups: jinxes, hexes, and..." he had to think for a second. "curses. Those are in order of strength or evilness too I think." he said trying to resteady himself.

However, she stood up, put her legs shoulder length apart, rose her hands out to the side like a propeller and then leaned over so her one arm was touching her toe and the other was up in the air.

As soon as she looked up in the air she found that the position was very difficult to keep balance with. Looking straight ahead was not a problem, it was the looking up part that made her equilibrium go off balance. To the best of her ability she answered, "Wel ma'am, the three types are hexes, jinxes and curses...." Ow.

As the professor when around the room addressing each student, Eino listened to their brief exchange of words, but couldn't really note any of them. He really hoped they didn't learn anything new while playing... yoda, was it? He would never be able to remember it for finals without notes. Finally, they were prompted to stand up and stretch their legs. He followed the instructions and mimicked Professor Romano's demonstration. When she asked them another question, he raised his hand. "Jinxes, hexes, and curses, with jinxes at the base as the weakest and curses at the top as the most powerful." It was generally acceptable to cast jinxes and hexes, though not if you were the target.

Alyssa quickly jotted what the Professor said in her journal before she stood up and stretched her legs and back before assuming the newest position that the Professor had asked them to be in. As she bent sideways, she thought of the answer to the next question the Professoe had posed. Trying to maintain her balance and raise her hand at the same time to answer, Alyssa said, "Professor the three groups that dark spells are grouped under are Curses, for example Unforgiveable Curses, Jinxes and Hexes."

"Curses, hexes and jinxes," she said when she raised her hand. Or... maybe she should have started with the less dangerous ones?

Not as much work....maybe she was doing it wrong.


Oh good, so they did know.

"Yes, the three categories are jinxes, hexes, and curses." she nodded. "And much like some of you mentioned, the curses are the more harmful and longer lasting of spells, then come the hexes, and finally, the jinxes. Ve'll discuss the jinxes first. Anyone know the definition of a jinx?"

Taylor didnt raise her hand since well her hand was already raised in the yoga pose, "A jinx is mostly for the humor of the caster and the discomfort of the victim."

Eino didn't know the exact definition for a jinx, if there was one, so he made up his own according to what he knew about them. After spending a short amount of time contemplating, he raised his hand. "Jinxes are generally used to play pranks on people, though some have other uses. They don't cause severe damage to the target, but they usually give the giggles to the caster and other unaffected bystanders." That sounded accurate to him.
