Regardless of the chilly weather during the winter season and the cool stone colored tones of the room, the dueling arena was comfortably warm. The arena itself would perhaps look different to some of the older students if they were able to get a look at it in the past. The dueling platform, target dummies, and even the stands were moved around in different locations, pushed to the side mostly, leaving a nice big empty space in the middle of the room. In that space were the familiar deep purple colored mats from the previous lesson lined up accordingly, including the deep red colored mat up at the front in-between the stands where Professor Romanos was currently seated, and in front of each purple mat was something that looked like a miniature tray. There won't be any food during the lesson unfortunately, but these trays will be acting as your desks. Unlike the last lesson, the room is illuminated and practically glowing from the winter sunlight streaming through the windows, giving the area a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Perhaps even make a few sleepy, but never fear. There will be no time to sleep during this class. And do ignore the added doorway in the back of the room. As strange as it's placement is, no one is allowed back there.
OOC: Please come in and take a seat on one of the mats [and be familiar with the rules and expectations]. The lesson will begin in about 12 18 hours or so.
Class has officially begun! Please don't post arriving late. Jump in as if your character has been here the entire time.
Final Task
Use of the Disarming and Shield Charms ONLY.
1st - 4th Years = No sense of SOUND
5th - 7th Years = No sense of SIGHT. You are all blindfolded.
It is alright to be disoriented and not get things right on the first couple of tries. Perhaps your aim is off or you can't say the spell correctly because you can't hear yourself speak. No one is perfect. It is okay. The Professor will be keeping a close eye on things, so please, no fatal injuries. And perhaps no drastic damage to the arena either. It's rather sturdy.
I'll give you a few days to RP, and we'll come to a close on things around the 13th.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Again nothing happened.
Then Alyssa realized what was wrong. She thought that she was saying the spell but because she couldn't hear what she was saying, she was actually mispronuncing it and that was why the disarming spell wasn't working. She put down her wand and tried to figure out how she was going to cast the spell properly. She wasn't sure whether she was old or experienced enough to do a non-verbal spell, but she was try that if all her other attempts failed. That would be her last resort. Alyssa decided to say the spell slowly. Maybe if she pronounced each syllable carefully, she might actually cast the spell.
So she faced Oakey again and performed the wand movements forming an invisible d in the air and aiming her wand at Oakey, said the words of the spell slowly. "EX-PEL-LI-AR-MUS." Sure enough a beam shot out of her wand and headed for Oakey. She suspected that he would see the spell coming since she had said it slow enough that he could probably read her lips if he wanted to.
With his deafened ears Oakey could only assume that with each flick of Alyssa's wand a spell would be shot out. Protego he said casting the spell to avoid her first shot at him...His shield formed in front of him but it deflected nothing. He looked at Alyssa who was trying to cast a spell at him multiple times but nothing happened. He pointed his wand at her to cast the disarming charm at her. Expell...
Before he could finish casting his spell Alyssa had finally managed to cast hers and it shot at Oakey hitting him and knocking his wand right out of his hand.

"Older students, try and remember where your partner stands as of this moment, and please, all of you, do not move around too much from your spot." She didn't need someone walking into the line of someone else's spell. "Remember! Use just the disarming and shield spells only. Any other spell used vill result in punishment. Last but not least, have fun vith this."
Smiling and moving from student to student, she either tapped each side of their head near their ears with a nonverbal spell to make them momentarily deaf to surrounding noises or she used the more known obscuro spell to blindfold the older students. Once she was done, she hopped up to the dueling platform so she had a better view of everyone in the room, and they had a better view of her.
"Again. JUST the disarming and shield spells." Older students would have heard her. Younger students, not so much. "You may start!" She held two thumbs up to benefit the students that couldn't hear her as a signal to go.
Well, this was disorienting. He wasn't surprised that Romanos would do something like this, though. And it would be a good exercise. If he ever had to duel someone at night, he would hopefully be a bit more prepared than his opponent.
Um, I wonder who should go first. He cleared his throat. "Arya? I'm going to go ahead and start now, so don't be alarmed if something goes flying past your head suddenly." Because he aim probably wouldn't be any good. Hopefully she would reply, and that would help him figure out where she was again.
He raised his wand. I could do a nonverbal again, but that wouldn't be very nice on the first try. Better that she knew it was coming. He moved his wand in a fluid motion, wondering what it looked like. He hoped the 'd' movement was in muscle memory enough to function properly. "Expelliarmus," he said, feeling the spell shoot from his wand. But will it go anywhere near her? That is the question.

The Ravenclaw carefully tried to point her wand in the direction Amelia's voice had come from, and she thought she had it right, but of course, since she couldn't see, she wasn't completely sure. She practiced the wand movement a couple times just to get the feel off it before finally speaking the incantation along with it. "Expelliarmus!"
Amelia really didn't want to lose her wand when she didn't have the ability to see, so she was going to try this extra hard. She tried to make out the sound of Vashti's voice - which was hard from all the yelling - so that she would have some idea when the spell would be coming for her. At least coming for her if Vashti was facing the right person. :/
She did the waving wand movement now while saying "Protego!" so when the disarming hell hit her she still had her wand in her hand. A very good thing, because she really hadn't wanted to drop hers. "Okay, my turn to try to disarm you," she called out to Vashti now.

Lily turned towards the professor waiting to be told to go. She could see the professor's mouth moving but couldn't hear anything. Then she saw the thumbs up. That must mean go Lily thought as she turned back towards Violet. Giving her a thumbs up, Lily hoped to get her attention. She then pointed at Violet and then gave her the 1 signal with her pointer finger, trying to tell Violet to go first.
Violet felt the professor tap her as well on the head and instantly all the nose around her fell silent. It was very eerie for her to experience to see how everyone was talking, but she didn't hear a sound. So this was how it felt like to be deaf.Violet felt sympathy for the people who didn't have the ability to hear back at home. Then, Violet saw her partner give her the thumbs up meaning that she too had her sense of hearing taking away. Violet returned the thumbs up to at her and raised up her wand toward Lily. She used her hands to count to three..
one...two...three! "Expelliarmus!" she cried and a red spark shot out her wand toward her partner. She hoped Lily would block her spell in time. She felt proud of herself for finally able to do the spell.
It felt really weird not being able to hear a thing. It was like Sophie's ears were clogged or something, and she caught herself shaking her head and swallowing a couple of times, trying to unclog it. She started making some random sounds to see if she could actually say something audibly. She kept doing that until she could feel some vibration on her throat.

She then noticed that Cardigan had cast a spell towards her. The disarming one hopefully probably. Quickly, she made an upward movement with her wand and exclaimed "Protego!" She had no idea of how loud she had said it, but hoped it was loud enough for the spell to work.
Sophie saw the Slytherin's spell rebounce on the blue arch that was now in front of her. "Brilliant!" She thought on her head. She wished she could cast spells using no words. It would feel less weird. But she couldn't, so... "Expelliarmus!" She felt her throat vibrating as she made the 'd' shaped wand movement, pointing it at her friend.
Everyone around herself and João had moved on to practicing the Shield Charm, but Stella was left surprised that the Slytherin had actually let himself be hit by her Disarming Charm from earlier. It was a good thing that she'd been fairly certain of her ability with both spells, although she silently practiced the wand movement that Professor Romanos had suggested they use for the second charm anyhow. At least it gave her something to do while he was searching for his wand. Honestly, even amongst the chaos in the room, she didn't understand why it was taking so long. Plus, she sensed a bit of irritation coming from him as well. There went any points she'd gotten earlier for being nice, but then, if he was going to get so irritated by letting his own wand fly away from him, she could deal with that. It just meant he was more of a stereotypical Slytherin.
As the lesson moved on, however, her attention went back to the professor. So now they were going to have to duel blindfolded. Interesting, she thought, stepping over to one side again to create more space between herself and the people standing nearest to her. She glanced at João again as he'd returned and spoken, nodding slightly at the act. He could act like it hadn't mattered, but she could see through that by now. At least, she could whiel she was waiting for the professor to get over to them to obscure their vision. "I'm not bad at it," she said with a shrug, " and it certainly does seem that way." She was fine with being blindfolded if she had to. "Vous pouvez toujours revenir en arrière, vous savez." Yes, now she was close to taunting him, but his demeanor deserved it. Besides, shortly afterward she'd ended up blindfolded, so she just had to wait to hear his reaction, keeping her wand at the ready just in case.
Oh. Thank Goodness she was fine with that shield spell. He had got it when he was what, thirteen, and he would have certainly backed out if she said she wasn't good at it. He nodded at her to show he had heard her over the commotion of the room. Oh, so she was fine with being blindfolded. And she certainly spoke French. Surprised by that at first, he flickered his eyes at her and chuckled lightly, in a sincerely friendly and amused way.
"Eu não vou desistir agora." He grinned. If she could speak in her own language, so could he. And if she, a girl plus a Ravenclaw, accepted the challenge, so would he.
Letting the professor blindfold him with that challenging smile on his face, he marked where she was located before he lost his vision and readied his wand. He would let her take the first shot as he whispered a "Protego!" to himself.
Just because she was a girl, not because he was pretty terrified that he couldn't see.

Lily stood with her wand in hand, focusing on Violet. With the thumbs up to tell Lily that Violet was ready, Lily started trying to get protego to work. Lily started by moving her wand in the upward arch-like movement. "Prootay-go!" Lily basically shouted. She couldn't hear herself, so she had no clue how loud she was. All she knew was that there was no protective shield around her and Violet had just sent a spell at her, which ended up knocking Lily's wand out of her hand.
After retrieving it, Lily smiled at Violet, now it was her turn. "Expell-iarmus..." As a small hoard of sparks shot out of her wand, Lily's face became shocked, she had no clue what had happened or whether she had said the spell correctly.
Ariana took his hand and pulled herself up. "yeah, im fine thanks jordie. yeah let's try that again.. that was dumb.." Ariana brushed off her robes. boy that was embarrassing.
----------------------------------
Ariana listened to the professor.. no sence of hearing.. COOL! Ariana Loved a nice challenge! she spear out a little bit more.
Jordan dragged Ariana to another less crowded part of the room, so that they could duel without hurting anyone... else. Once he felt his hearing go, he looked across at Ariana "Ready??" he mouthed exaggerantly, motioning to their wands.

Violet saw Lily's mouth moving, but she guessed that she hadn't said the correct spell to protect herself. The spell knocked her wand over and Lily had to go and collect it.
Next, Violet saw Lily's mouth moving that looked like the expelliarmus spell. She braced herself for the oncoming spell, but all she saw her a few sparks that shot out of her wand. Had she said the spell wrong? Violet waved to Lily to get her attention and pointed to her while at the same time saying. "You try again!" not sure how loud she was saying it, but hoping Lily could do some lip reading since they were both deaf.

Alyssa was surprised that she had managed to disarm Oakey despite the fact that she hadn't been able to hear what she was saying. She waited for Oakey to retrieve his wand to allow him to prepare to cast a spell at her this time.

Alex felt a tap on the side of her head and suddenly she couldn't hear anything. "Oh this is weird", she thought to herself. She practiced saying Expelliarmus a couple of times. It was tricky because without being able to hear, Alex couldn't judge the accuracy of her words.
Looking at Silvia, she pointed to herself and raised one finger. She hoped that Silvia would get the message that she was going to start first. Alex raised her wand to signal her readiness. "Expelliarmus", she said trying to articulate as clearly as possible.
Cardigan hoped that the spell would work this time!Protego,protego, protego,protego,protego,she thought to herself a few times before saying it out loud."Protego!"She said while making the upward motion with her wand.Sucess!!!She had sucessfully used Protego!!The Blue Shield protected her aganst Sophie`s Exspelliarmus as she prepared to cast it herself.After saying it a few times to herself,she finally said,"Exspelliarmus!"As she made the d movement with her wand.Hopefully that worked...
Sophie watched as a blue shield appeared in front of Cardigan. Nice! She smiled at the Slytherin, but didn't bother saying anything, obviously. She kept looking at the girl, not sure if her friend would cast the spell. She was taking a little while, so she might have given up or something...
When Sophie was almost sure she wouldn't have to block anything else, she saw Cardigan moving her wand and a beam of light coming in her direction. Luckly the girl was a little far from her, so she had enough time to cast "Protego!" louder than necessary, with the upward movement. Phew!
Before casting the disarming spell at her friend again, she decided to improve her shield, just for fun, as she knew it would fade once she cast the other spell. With an horizontal swish, Sophie watched as her shield's size almost doubled. Her smiled widened before she stared directly to Cardigan. "Expelliarmus!" Once again, she used a sharp 'd' shaped movement!
Bending at the knees, Kurumi reached her non-wand hand out for the wall and found it surprisingly quickly, her palms tracing its uneven surface. At least now she sort of knew where she was...or something.
Wand still out and pointing at where she hoped Kennedy was, not that it really mattered because she needed worry about herself for right now, Kurumi stumbled a bit when she heard Kennedy SHOUT the spell. Had he forgotten that she had lost her sight and not her hearing. She could hear him perfectly fine. In fact, Kurumi's hearing was sort of going into overdrive right now due to her not being able to see, so he could have kept his voice neutral and it probably still would have felt booming.
Arching her wand upwards, Kurumi added a horizontal movement to her wand to increase the size of her shield. "Protego!" Hopefully it had worked, because she couldn't see if it had or not. Bracing for impact, Kurumi heard a soft zapping sound. Hey, she had never heard that before. It was sort like a small bug flying into a bug zapper. Had that been his spell hitting her shield? Kurumi was just going to pretend that it was.
Countering quickly, Kurumi decided to mimic Kennedy and shout the spell at him as well. "Expelliarmus!"
He wondered if Kurumi knew where he was by his voice. Although, due to all the shouting that was currently happening he doubted she'd get an idea of where he was. He still hadn't moved, but he didn't want to stay like a sitting duck either.
Kennedy quickly snapped back to the present when he heard the lion Prefect's voice with her counter spell. He directed his was exactly in front of him and said, "Protego!" He felt a bit of pressure on his hand when the spell hit. It was probably a close one and the disarming charm was barely blocked. He would definitely have to try the wider shield next.
The prefect grinned when he heard his dueling partner shout. She seemed to get the idea behind it... maybe, or she was just shouting to get her voice heard through all the noise. Flicking his wand again he said, "Expelliarmus!" This time though he had raised his wand arm a bit too high.
Laura looked at Jen and decided to ask her something. "Vho is Voing first?" Laura then realised what she was doing, the Professor's accent was cool and Laura liked it but maybe Jen wouldn't understand it. "I meant to say who is going first?" Because Laura seriously didn't want to try this, then she remember Jen probably couldn't hear her this was going to be cool, how was they going to do this?
Jen saw Laura mouth something. She couldn't make out what it was but asumed she was asking "who goes first". Jen got a piece of parchment from a table and a quil. She wrote this down.
"I'll go first, stand back. I'll use pretego for a shielding charm and you use exeliarmis to disarm me"
Jen pointed her want at Laura and made an upward flick.
"Pretayno!" jen hopefully said the right spell.
Just then green spots started apearing on Laura's face.

As she stood up he threw the disarming spell at her wand , but to his dismay she deflected it.....He was going to have to do better than that , that was for sure.

Kurumi waited, hearing Kennedy cast his Shield Charm and no shouting or noises that really sounded like a wand hitting the ground. Then again, it was hard to make ANYTHING out with all the shouting going on. Could she cast a Silencing Spell on everyone else? You know, make things easier? Her ears were ringing at the moment and it was getting harder and harder to focus.
Then, she heard Kennedy cast his counter spell....at least...she thought she did. "Protego!" Kurumi's shield went up, but she didn't wait to hear the bug zapping noise from before and instead instantly began to cast her counter spell. "Expelliarmus!" However, in the rush to cast, Kurumi dropped her wand and it fell to the floor, landing on one of the mats, and not making a single sound - which made it almost impossible for the Gryffindor to know its location. WHAT?!
Kurumi got down on all four and began to crawl around on the floor, looking for her wand, and having no luck. As she crawled, she was getting further and further away from the location of her actual wand and closer and closer to Kennedy when...
*SMACK*
Her forehead collided with his knees.

Kennedy stood there, with his wand arm at the ready and heard Kurumi cast the shield spell. He prepared himself for the disarming charm, grasping his wand tighter. He was going to attempt to make his shield wider and hopefully not fail. Imagine loosing your wand while being blind. Yeah...not pretty.
When he heard her cast he quickly produced the shield charm, "Protego!" Then increased its size by doing a horizontal movement Professor Romanos had told them about. This time he didn't feel any pressure on his shield. Either, he was getting real good at this or...maybe Kurumi missed.
Oblivious to the fact that Kurumi had lost her wand, he did a sharp d movement in the air and began saying, "Expelli-" then BAM! Something hit his knees, and not having expected that he fell backward, landing on his bum.

Vashti stood silently, not moving while she waited for Amelia's voice casting the Shield Charm, which she assumed she would do regardless of whether Vashti's spell was aimed correctly since neither of them could see to be sure. It was a bit distracting with all the other students' voices in the background, but finally she thought she could make out Amelia's voice in the crowd. And she was letting her know that she was going to cast the Disarming Spell now.
Vashti took a deep breath before calling, "Okay, I...think I'm ready." At least, she hoped so. She gripped her wand tightly, as if that might prepare her more.

And she was letting her know that she was going to cast the Disarming Spell now.
Vashti took a deep breath before calling, "Okay, I...think I'm ready." At least, she hoped so. She gripped her wand tightly, as if that might prepare her more.
Amelia was getting more used to having her eyesight taken away from her, but that didn't mean that she was starting to like this any more than she had before; which wasn't much at all. She was sure that after a moment she could hear Vashti saying that she was ready.
"Okay." She held her wand out in front of her and hoped that she was aiming at the correct target. "Expelliarmus!"

She had done it again... Well, they were equally crafty and that made him smile. and he knew she was smiling too as she finished tying her shoe.
As she stood up he threw the disarming spell at her wand , but to his dismay she deflected it.....He was going to have to do better than that , that was for sure.
Minerva saw his lips moving even though she had no clue what he said, she was bad at reading lips. "Pretego" hoping she answered his words with the right action. Then she moved her wand again "Expelliarmus"
Jen saw Laura mouth something. She couldn't make out what it was but asumed she was asking "who goes first". Jen got a piece of parchment from a table and a quil. She wrote this down.
"I'll go first, stand back. I'll use pretego for a shielding charm and you use exeliarmis to disarm me"
Jen pointed her want at Laura and made an upward flick.
"Pretayno!" jen hopefully said the right spell.
Just then green spots started apearing on Laura's face.
Uh oh....
Laura felt her face get some spots on, okay this wasn't cool, but well it was an accident, even if Laura wanted to Hex Jen for making a mess of her face she decided against it, she wanted to be friends with Jen and she doubted she could be friends if she hexed the girl into next week.
Laura sighed as she shouted at the professor. "Professor we have a situation here." Laura then realised something was Jen trying to hurt her first a weird spell nearly hit her and now she was covered in spots, was this like on purpose, surely it wouldn't be.
Minerva saw his lips moving even though she had no clue what he said, she was bad at reading lips. "Pretego" hoping she answered his words with the right action. Then she moved her wand again "Expelliarmus"
Justin's wand was taken from his hands despite his quick counter spell. Had she somehow outsmarted him? He looked around and nothing had been out of place. then he looked at his empty hand....She had indeed outsmarted him. with a slight frown he picked up his wand as before he was fully upright said without moving his lips, " expelliamus." she wouldn't get him this time he thought.

Olivia suddenly went deaf and paniced for a moment, when she came to her sences, she saw her partner spinning arround. Hahaha Olivia laughed when she cast expelliarmus at the professer just dont loose any points!. Holly Merlin, Olivia couldnt here herself talk! How would she know if she even did! She did not intervene with the spell cause she wanted to see the professers reaction, and diddnt want to loose points.

It took a few steps, but she was right in front of the Slytherin girl, turning her around to face her partner. Her SMILING partner. Yes, it was all very funny when someone tries to disarm their Professor. "There we go."
Sierra continued to stumble around as she was left with no sight and no sound. Were they even supposed to have both senses taken away?! She honestly thought the professor had forgotten she'd deafened Sierra, and if that was so, then Sierra would have a word or two with this woman later on. Hmph.
Since she was deafened, Sierra never heard her partner say a thing. Nor did she hear the professor's warning to her about having cast on the wrong person. Then she felt someone turn her around--her partner! Her partner was turning her the wrong way, so she could try and get her good! Sierra wouldn't take that, though! She spun right back around to face her partner (really Romanos) and cast again. "Expelliarmus!"
