Minerva put up her hand again. "Professor an example of a jinx would be the revulsion jinx." she let her hand rest in triangle position once more. She was actually enjoying doing the yoga it was different then just sitting at a desk the entire lesson.

Raven raised her hand and answered.

"One of them is Jelly-leg jinx" she said and back to the triangle position.

Ooh ok, August had gotten the question about the three divisions of Dark Magic and he was getting the hang of this Triangle pose now. By far it was his favorite so far. The Gryffindor continued to stretched and then switched sides when Professor Romanos told them too.

With the change in pose, came another question; this tim she wanted an example of a jinx. "Professor I read about one called the Antler jinx, in which the victim sprouts antlers from the top of their head." It sounded so uncomfortable.

Melanie didn't know any jinxes, but she was definitely getting nervous as she heard some of the ones her fellow students were listing off. If most students knew these, and they were used to play pranks, Melanie was more than a little concerned for her well-being.

"Professor there is the trip jinx."

She stood up,"Wouldn't the one that eating slugs spell be a jinix?"

Ellie wasn't....bending, okay? But she will stand up because she didn't want to be the only one NOT standing. So up she was. And Arya should be happy she had.

"Finger-removing jinx." Which sounded terribly painful but highly amusing.

Jordan thought for a moment, standing up and putting himself into the new position, "Isn't there on called the Stretching Jinx?" he questioned, wondering whether he'd made it up.

Mortimer looked sideways at Vickers and that girl talking about clowns... how rude to talk during CLASS. When they were all trying to LEARN. Sighs at them. Mortimer simply moved into the next position and kind of flailed!raised his hand. "The Impediment Jinx, ma'am." Mo was quite fond of that particular jinx. Heh.

More moving! Ugh, Selina was not used to this level of physical activity in a realm that was not Quidditch related. Besides, the black, heavy school robes and knit sweaters did not help make the yoga thing much easier. It seemed that every time they did a new yoga position Selina became more and more winded. This was quite the work out. She hoped that they would not make yoga a regular thing in this class. It was too obscure for Selina's tastes.

Then Selina, to the best of her ability, tried to wave her hand to let her Professor know she was going to answer her question, "Orbis is a jinx, ma'am." It was also Latin, but that was beside the point.

Wow. Ari was impressed by the speed with which her classmates were coming up with jinx examples. So impressed that she started to think she should brush up on her knowledge of jinxes, in case someone would duel her. Not that it was very likely, but still. It was important to know how to fight back defend yourself.

'I've read a book about former Hogwarts Headmasters, and one of them, Professor Snape, invented the Langlock jinx, which causes one's tongue to get stuck to the roof of the mouth.' Nasty thing, by the sounds of it.

Taking a quick peak at her watch for the time, she set it back down next to her parchment after a second and wrote a few things down before standing up again. Standing up straight that is. No more of the triangle position. Perhaps a pose in which even they should be familiar with if they'd ever exercised at all in their life.

"Alright, you can stand up." They weren't done yet though. "Go ahead and take a hold of the top of your foot, like so. And hold. This is called the King's Dancer Position." Demonstrating once again what to do, she waited for the majority of the class to follow suit...

Oh who was she kidding. Her gaze was settled on Miss Stone, seeing if she'd try this one out.

"Can anyone tell me vot a hex is? And an example of one."

King's Dancer Pose

Mo couldn't help but smile as the professor nodded her head at him. So he had a THING about being right. Which he typically was. Heh. Moving into the next position he removed one hand from his foot and wobbled precariously. "Hexes are stronger than jinxes and cause moderate suffering to the victim. And an example of one would be the Stinging hex," he said with a nod as he placed his raised hand back on his foot.

Ella grabbed the top of her foot and teetered a bit. So I should probably practice this stuff before next class... When she felt like she was balanced, she thought about the question. She had read something about this in her DADA textbook. "Professor, a hex is a spell that is a step up from a jinx. What I mean is that it causes more damage than a jinx does." She tried to think of an example of a hex but couldn't think of one. She waited for her classmates to provide some and made a mental note to listen closely to their answers.

Taylor gracefully went into the king's dancer pose. Raising her hand, she replied, "A hex is darker than a jinx but not as dark as a curse. It causes more discomfort to the victim but it can be used as a defense move. An example of a hex is the densaugeo which causes the victim's teeth to grow."

Nate raises his hand in the position he's in and says "Professor a hex is darker than a jinx but not as dark as a curse, and generally causes moderate suffering to the victim. For example the Knee-Reversal Hex is a hex that causes the victim's knees to appear on the opposite side of their legs."

Okaay. Her legs were really hurting her now. She felt like she was stretching to go do a big run. Indiana knew she was going to sleep well tonight. She smiled, grabbing hold of her foot, and getting into the king dancers pose. It was interesting. Now to the question. A hex. Well she knew what that was. Now. This was the hard part. How was she supposed to raise her hand, and do the pose at the same time. She decided to just stop the pose, just in time to raise her hand. "A hex is a spell that is affliated with dark magic, it's kind of like a jinx, but darker than that. But it is not as dark as a curse. A hex will cause moderate suffering to the victim. An example would be the bat bogey hex." Yeah. She wasn't a nerd at all. With a smile, she returned to the pose.

Admittedly, this new position was not one of the worst they had to do today, but it was exasperating because Ari for one couldn't see the purpose in all of this. True, one needs flexibility for defence, but still, this seemed more like ballet than anything else. At least the class discussion was on topic.

Raising her hand again, the Gryffindor girl replied: 'A hex is a spell affiliated with Dark magic, with moderate intensity, more powerful than a jinx but less powerful or long-lasting than a curse.' After taking a deep breath, she continued: 'There's the stinging hex that causes moderate pain and possible swelling of the body part affected.'

Ah, on to the hexes. Nate finally gave up and just assumed the pose. It wasn't worth fighting with himself over. "A hex is used to cause more harm than a jinx, but is still commonly used as a spell for practical jokes, or the pleasure of the caster at the expense of the hex-ed," he answered. He didn't know why he pronounced the word 'hexed' with two syllables, but hey, it sounded cool.

As he switched legs, Nate remembered that they needed to give an example. Whoops. "An example would be the Stinging Hex." He wasn't about to say the incantation out loud, though. If anyone cared to, they could figure it out easily enough.

Isabelle stood up and took hold of the top of her foot. This was a very interesting class with yoga. Izzy wondered if there was a point to this. Or if the Professor just liked yoga. She raised one hand while keeping a firm grip on her foot with the other hand.

"Professor, a hex is a type of spell that causes moderate suffering of some sort to the victim, this type of magic is generally thought to be dark magic because it is darker than a jinx, but hexes are not as dark as curses," Isabelle explained. "And an example of a hex is the Hurling Hex."

Oh jeez. Jezzabelle wobbled a lot. It was easy when she wasn't standing on one foot. She wobbled to the left the to the right. She through her unoccupied hand up in the hair, which didn't really help with her balance, "A hex is darker magic than that of a jinx and can cause more suffering to the victim." She wobbled some more and then fell over. "There is the Stinging Hex which causes severe pain and swelling," she said her hand still up while on the ground. She planned on getting back up sooner or later.

Zhenya, once again, copied the moves. She was starting to like the positioning and stretching, but was confused as to what it had to do with DADA, not that she was complaining. It was MUCH better than sitting in a desk all lesson, much much better. She thought about the question a moment before saying "A Hex is somewhere between a jinx and a curse, and is usually associated with the use of dark magic. One example is an Instant scalping hex, which shaves the hair off the target's head," she said.

Alex put his right foot behind him and grabbed it, as the professor did, and then used his left hand to raise it and answer the question. "A hex is like, the in between of a curse and a jinx. It causes suffering, but not as much as a curse," he explained.

Then he quickly moved his hand back to his foot before he toppled over right onto his face.

Again a new position? What the hell was going on? Why did they all have to be in a position or other while answering questions? Why couldn't they just sit normally at their own respective desks and answer the questions?

Ira hated all kinds of exercise.. And she was also confused as to what relates DADA and yoga? Brushing thses thoughts off her mind for now, she copied the next position. Kings Dancer Pose? What a weird name! So Ira bent her right leg and held it with her hand and balanced on her left leg. But soon, she began loosing balance. So this time, she tried with her left leg up and right one down. This was better..

When asked the next question, Ira thought about it. Hex? She raised her hand up and answered, "Professor, A hex is a stronger and darker than a jinx, but not as much as a curse. It causes moderate pain to the victim." Examples of Hexes? She knew some.. "There is also a hex called as Twitchy Ears Hex which as the name suggests, twitches the ears of the victim"

Even though the next pose didn't seem too bad, Amelia was getting tired of this moving around thing. She missed when her arms were out at the sides in a t position. Or maybe they could just sit on the floor like a regular class.

But she still raised her hand before moving into the next position. "A Hex is worse than a jinx but not as bad as a curse. It causes some pain, but it's not unmanageable. There's the bat bogey hex." Which sounded rather... yeaaah.
