Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson Two

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.

While waiting for her to make the first move, it felt like eternity in that blind-folded, obscure, appalling state before she finally decided to shoot. João tried to keep calm and not turn frantically. If he turned, he would certainly bump into someone. But this blindness just made him want to turn in circles as if it was the only solution to get rid of it. He hated not seeing something, and he certainly was deadly afraid of the dark. Dark was cruel, unknown, and he felt so vulnerable. He didn't care if Professor Romanos was there to make sure nothing happens to them or not; he didn't care they were only in a class and not out in the wilderness. He just wanted this horrendous veil or whatever it was to be removed so that he could run away.

As this battle inside him went on, he heard her voice, that stupid girl's who was responsible for him being blind, finally say the spell. He didn't forget altogether about his fear, of course, if anything it grew bigger because if it hit him, he would be wandless and would lose his last hope of getting rid of this blackness. Before he could make any move, the spell had already hit him. He let out a small squeak and didn't breathe for a moment--until he noticed his wand was still in his hand. Sure, something did hit him, he felt it--or had it been psychological?--but it had hit and probably shattered his shield charm. He took a relieved breath, just before he let out his double-effective "Expelliarmus!" towards where he thought he had heard the voice. He just hoped she would lose her wand this time and suffer in a way to at least feel how he felt way too vulnerable in that blackness.

Stupid Ravenclaws. Little rats crazy for points. He should have known better to trust one of them so blindly.

Being robbed of both her sight and her hearing, Sierra really had no idea what was going on around her. She could be anywhere by now--the classroom, the corridor, the grounds! She spun around and around, until finally she felt the soft blow of somebody pushing her.

...

Somebody had pushed her?! When she found out who it was, the culprit would be hexed--no questions asked--into next Saturday and back!

Text Cut: sweetpinkpixie

The only thing Sierra could think to do is start casting and hope she at least disarmed whoever had pushed her. The nerve of some people! If it was a PUFFER, or even Hollingberry, she was going STRAIGHT TO TATE. "Expelliarmus!" she called out, giving her wand a little 'd' motion.

Text Cut: Roselyn

Then in the next instant, she felt someone's hands on her face. She started to cast again, but then the hand brought down her blindfold. Now the moment of truth was upon her--who had pushed her?! WHO?! Was it a Puffer? Hollingberry? It was...

...THE PROFESSOR?!

The professor had been the one to push her?! Sierra gasped in mild shock. Sierra shook her head the same way people do when they can't hear a word someone else is saying. What?! What?! Her gestures seemed to say. Then in the next instant, all the sound in the room came back, and Sierra was met with the voice of the professor, loudly telling everyone to stop.

Hmph. First she pushed her students, and then she yelled at them...

Hey Ju · 02-13-2012, 05:03 PM

Sophie was almost getting used to not try to unclog her ears. She was so concentrated looking at Cardigan, waiting for the SLytherin to cast a spell on her again that she jumped once she was able to hear again. Everything sounded waaaaaay louder than she was expecting now.

With wide eyes, she turned her head in the direction of Professor Romanos' voice.

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.

Silvia nodded when Alex indicated that she wanted to go first, and prepared herself. It was weird not being able to hear anything. Silvia was used to spending time in quiet environments, but never this quiet. She watched as her friend waved her wand and her mouth moved as she said the incantation, though Silvia couldn't hear it. Raising her wand, she said "Protego," though she couldn't hear herself either. Unfortunately, her lack of hearing seemed to have slowed her reaction time, and she was a few seconds too late in casting the shield charm to block the spell completely, although the shield did seem to weaken the spell somewhat. Her wand jerked slightly from her hand, and Silvia quickly tried to grab it as it slipped from her hand, catching it in the tips of her fingers just before it fell to the ground.

Once she had resituated herself, Silvia nodded to Alex to indicate a good try, then prepared to cast the disarming spell herself. Waving her wand and pointing it at Alex, she said "Expelliarmus," feeling as though she were casting the spell nonverbally, even though she technically wasn't.

Minerva grinned oh he wanted her to bring it she would, but then she saw his wand move and she was about to shield the spell when she heard the professor. WAIT she heard the professor, she could hear again. She dodged left and avoided his spell. "I don't need magic to avoid your spells." she giggled over at him. Then she turned to listen to the professors next instructions.

CJP · 02-13-2012, 06:02 PM

Olivia doged Sierra's flailing spells like dodge balls. One of them was aimed right at her! Protego! she squeeked, and this time she did the little "X" incase any more spells came flying at her!

She wouldn't be able to hear her. Yet as someone else was calling out for her, she held up her finger to indicate she'd get back to that topic.

The professer was raising her finger! What was that supposed to mean?
Olivia could see her mouth opening and closing but no words came out!
What? I Can't hear you!, Ohkay,Yes Professer,(Olivia nodded her head) OK, Uhuh She said rather loudly. She hoped she wasn't agreeing to detension.

Shaking her head to herself, she hopped up onto the dueling platform and made a sweep of her wand over the class. The blindfolds on the older students were vanished, and the spells effecting the younger students hearing was countered instantly. "Alright! Everyone. Stop! Hold your spells!" Stop stop stop.

Olivia could hear again, she put her hand over her ears to make sure it wasn't her imagination. Wow! a spell came flailing by her again, that was close.

Alyssa was still giggling on the floor when she suddenly realized that she could hear again. The sound of her laughter was definitely beautiful to hear. 'Thank goodness I wasn't snorting.'Alyssa thought to herself.She quickly stood up and realized that the Professor was trying to tell them something, so she turned to look at Oakey to make sure he was okay before she turned back and waited to hear what the Professor had to say.

He pointed his wand toward his partner and did the d movement "Expelliarmus!" he didn't realized that he said the incantation a little too loud.

Ella watched Messer's lips moving and squinted, trying to read what he was saying. Oh gosh, this is going to be tough, she thought. She noted that he was doing the d movement and raised her own wand quickly, "Protego!" she said aloud. It was strange, how focused she was on the jet of light coming towards her. She silently willed the shield to form from her own wand and suddenly, one did! She smiled at Messer, giving him the thumbs up. Then she mouthed very slowly, "Are...you...ready?" She raised her own wand and pointed it at him, making the d motion. "Expelliarmus!"

Ella's spell was already headed towards Messer when her hearing suddenly came back. She looked up at the Professor wondering what was going on.

Devina Wellheart · 02-13-2012, 09:14 PM

Justin finally could hear again and the sound was at first deafening. He quickly reholstered his wand and waited further instruction from the professor. He looked over at minnie just as she dodged his final spell. Luckily, it had missed her.

"Aha!" Her wand! Thank Merlin.

Vashti stood carefully. Now...which direction was Amelia again? "I've got my wand now. You ready?"

Amelia really wished that she could see what was going on right now, because it was almost impossible for her to have any idea of what was going on around her right now. When she heard Vashti say that she lost her wand she was on the verge of offering to help locate it when the girl called out that she had recovered it.

"I'm ready again!" she called out now as she raised her wand again and pointed it in what she hoped to be Vashti's direction. "Expel--"

They had been interrupted by the Professor who seemed rather adamant, and now her blindfold was gone. Blinking in order to get used to the light, she lowered her wand again.

Not being able to see was definitely a challenge for Stella, but as long as nobody accidentally hit her with a stray spell she was managing to keep calm. Of course, she still couldn't hear anything to tell if her spell had hit João, not amongst the chaos of other spells being yelled, some of which definitely not sounding anything like they were supposed to. At least she hadn't heard any explosions, which meant nothing had gone drastically wrong. Professor Romanos was still there, after all, so they should be safe. Should being the operative word. It was DADA, after all. She still wanted to know if her spell had hit or not, though. And, at a quiet squeak amongst the yells, she smiled slightly. That had sounded like her partner. As did the extrememly loud casting of the Disarming spell, and the smile faded as she panicked. "Protego!," she quickly cast, adding that little horizontal movement and silently hoping it would block the spell. Being blinded wasn't fun anymore.

She squeaked slightly in surprise as suddenly her prayer was answered and the blindfold disappeared, however. Eyes wideneing as she could now see the Disarming charm and how close it was to hitting her pale blue shield. She turned to the Professor as she'd called an end to it all, ducking as it caused her shield to drop a little and the Disarming charm rushed past her head. That was scary, and she sent a wide-eyed look toward the Slytherin before going back to the professor up on the platform. People definitely weren't being polite anymore, and she was glad that she could see again. Something told her she hadn't made another friend, this class. There wasn't really anything she could do about it. As far as she knew she wasn't going to get hit with another spell while the professor was talking. Hopefully.

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.

Lily looked confused as nothing happened to Violet's wand. Granted, she hadn't performed the spell like what had happened earlier. Oh and now Violet was trying to say something to Lily. Didn't she know that Lily couldn't hear anything...oh right, lip reading. Lily managed to comprehend 'try' and 'again' Lily raised her wand, gave a thumbs up to Violet, and was about to cast the spell when she could suddenly hear again.

Looking up towards the front of the very loud room, or at least it sounded loud to Lily, she noticed that the professor was up at the front telling them to stop. Turning quickly to Violet, Lily tested her voice again. "I guess we are done now. Though I'm glad to have my hearing back." Lily replied, smiling because she could hear again.

She waved her wand and tried to say "Protego", but the timing was off. She was just a little bit late and the spell hit her hand, knocking her wand to the floor.

Just as she bent down to pick up her wand, her hearing suddenly returned. The Professor was telling everyone to stop. "That was really hard", she said to Silvia. "I guess the Professor made her point."

Uncle Moose · 02-13-2012, 11:06 PM

SPOILER!!: Alyssa

Aha! That was his plan all along! distract her with the "purposely" missed disarming charm then hit her with the ne...OoF! Oakey sounded from his mouth although he couldn't hear it himself. Alyssa had apparently tried to catch her wand again. Oakey hit the floor and landed on his back with Alyssa laying on top of him.

The he started to feel her body shake. what was she laughing? Oakey couldn't resist it himself and began laughing with her.

SPOILER!!: Romanos

Glancing towards Laura and her partner, her eyes widened a bit at the sight of the spots. Uh huuuuh. Yet before she could lift the spell from the Hufflepuff girl so she could hear her speak, Medea heard yet another person calling for help.

This one sounded a bit more urgent though. "HERE!" she said, spinning around and holding up her hand. Wait. Who was the one calling for her? A blindfolded student or one who wouldn't be able to hear her?

Finally though, she did spot someone who looked just a bit more upset than she'd expected. Oh Merlin. Yet on her way over to the girl, she'd passed two students practically on the floor, one who had a squeak in their voice, and a buuuunch of people who were having a hard time pronouncing the spells. Okaaay...

With a glance at her watch as she stopped next to the girl, Medea ran sighed and tapped the girl on both sides of her head near her ears to counter the deafening spell. "Are you alright, Miss Castell?" She wasn't hurt was she?

Just a few minutes later while the two of them were laughing on the floor one on top of the other. He began to hear again. His laughter was weird so he shut himself up quickly but listened to Alyssa's giggle until she stopped and stood up. Oakey followed suit and brushed himself off.

And truthfully he has no idea what any spell would smell like as its flying through the air.

Amidst the disarming and shield spells being yelled around he thought he heard something else..... was that Gideon? Or was that just his imagination? Shakily he held his wand out, trying to aim it at the sound of where he thought it came from. "Gideon.... are you there?" he squeaked out, facing, not Gideon, but the dummies with the wall behind them.

Then another thought entered his head which really couldnt have come at a worse time-- what if some errant spell from other students come hurtling towards them-- towards him? He cant see it, and if he could ever hear it coming ~~which he cant~~ it would be too late.

He had an extraordinary desire to back up against the wall and throw a shield spell up until the Professor says class dismissed.

Thing is he has absolutely no clue where the wall is, or any notion that it was directly in front of him.

So many people yelling protego.... was that Gideon? In the cacophony of voices and his poor hearing it was near impossible for Vickers to discernibly pick Gideon's voice out from the crowd. Assuming mistakenly that the Gryffindor has taken up the defensive position first Vickers stuttered out "O-Okay.... s-s-so I go and do the disarming spell again right?

Pause.... did Gideon respond? Perhaps the better question would be, would Vickers have heard it?

"O-Okay... here goes...." pause again. Oi today would've been a good day to bring along his hearing-aid....

With the wand stroke he cast "Expelliarmus"

And the spell flew out of his wand.... which may or may not have rebounded against the dummies. Eep!

Gideon was working on getting a better feel to his surroundings though the various sounds he was hearing from classmates wasn't really helping. He needed to focus on pinning where his partner was, only having a general area from his last position and where he believed the last question had come from. "Aye...I'm here," he answered once more, raising his voice a little so Vickers might hear him this time.

Then a thought crossed his mind and he couldn't help frowning. Maybe he had been wrong and the Ravenclaw was a year younger then him and so lost his hearing instead of his sight. That would make things harder since they couldn't really communicate with each other all to well then. "Um...okay," Gideon answered, using the last two replies to turn in the approximate direction Vickers appeared to be in. He would need to be cautious to catch the spell as best he could.

And when he heard the spell cast, Gideon raised his wand in defense about to cast his own spell only to freeze once more as his eyes were greeted with light once more. The blinding spell obviously having been taken off, the answer as to why soon was heard as the professor told them all to cease everything. He lowered his wand back to his side with a sigh of relief, briefly wondering where Vickers' spell was since it hadn't hit him until he spotted his partner facing a dueling dummy.

Whew...at least somewhere it was harmless...and hopefully they were done.

SilverDragon · 02-14-2012, 12:24 AM

Silvia was glad when her hearing finally came back. That last activity had felt strange, and a little difficult. She lowered her wand when she heard the professor calling for them to stop, though she felt she could have used a little more practice. Oh well, she would just have to continue practice another time.

lazykitty · 02-14-2012, 01:20 AM

SPOILER!!: Beezus

Sky had been (silently) preparing to practice the spells without her sense of hearing, when her partner seemingly started to freak out. What on Earth?! She couldn't hear anything of course, but it was obvious something was happening to Beezus…

SPOILER!!: Professor

And… she could hear again. "What just happened…" she asked Beezus kindly. Because people normally didn't freak out in the middle of a class like that. Even if they had just lost one of their senses.

Roselyn · 02-14-2012, 02:26 AM

Now that she was slowly gathering their attention, she gave a quick reassuring smile to Beatrice before speaking. Right. Short on time. "That was a good start. For everyone." Some freaked out, but that was okay. It was to be expected. "However, ve are very short on time, so I think ve'll come to a close here. If you have yet to take notes today, I'd suggest doing so now when everything is still fresh in your mind, whether it was on vot ve discussed earlier or just simply how it felt to duel vithout a sense, because you vill be having homework on this. I'll be posting it up on the noticeboard later today."

Yes, the dreaded homework. "Other than that, you are free to leave. Vell done, everyone." Hopping off the platform, she was JUST about to start cleaning up when she remembered. "OH! And Miss Hyde and Miss Hollingberry, if you two can stay behind please."

Lily listened carefully as the professor finished up the class. She walked over to her stuff and quickly took down some of the notes from earlier along with what it was like without a sense. Once she was done she packed up. "Thank you Professor, for a very informative lesson. Have a good rest of the day." Lily thanked the professor before heading over towards Violet. "Are you heading to the common room?" Lily asked. "If you are, did you want to walk up there with me?" Lily figured it would be nice to get to know another Ravenclaw, so that she would start to meet new people and gain more friends.

It was over already?! Ella was actually pretty disappointed as she was finally getting the hang of the shield charm. She could always practice on her own though, in a safe place of course. Ella smiled at Messer, happy that they had been partners. "Thanks for partnering with me, Messer. I had fun." She then grabbed her bag and pulled out her notebook and pen, quickly scribbling down what the lesson had been about and how it had went. When she was finished, she gathered her things in her bag again and headed towards the door with another wave to Messer.

On her way out she smiled at the Professor. "Thanks for the great lesson! I'm really enjoying this class."

Taylor curtised to the professor, "Thank you for the lesson, Professor Romanos. I hope you have a pleasant rest of the day." She smiled and lefted.

Violet smiled gratefully at the teacher as she announced the end of class. She was also happy that she had her sense of hearing again as all her classmates chattering happily about the experience that they just had. Homework again? Violet sighed at the thought. She never knew when the homework pile was ever going to end. She crossed the large room and said, "Goodbye professor! That was a very interesting lesson with the dueling and experiencing the loss of one's sense. Thank you!"and walked out the door.

She saw her partner catch up with her from behind and turned around to say goodbye to her as well, but when she heard that Lily was going to the common, she thought better of it. Why not make new friends while going up and getting your school books? "Yeah, I'll be going to the common room. Let's go together." she replied happily at the fellow Ravenclaw.

Laura was about to leave when the Professor asked her to stay behind what had she done now, it wasn't her fault she had green spots, well anyway she would see what the Professor wanted, just as long as she didn't get Professor Hadley involved, she went upto the Professor and stood there waiting for the Professor to speak.

While waiting for Kennedy to respond, Kurumi made sure that she had a tight grip on her wand this time so as not to drop it when she cast Protego again. There were so many students casting spells all over the place that it was getting hard to distinguish voices - especially for those who hadn't yet gone through puberty just yet.

All of a sudden, her wand FLEW out of her hands and clanked against the floor. WHAT?! Kennedy hadn't cast his spell yet! THAT much she was sure of. So, what had happened?!

Howeverm in the next instant the blindfold was removed from her eyes and the first thing Kurumi saw was....Sierra. Had it been her?! Kurumi knew that the she-snake disliked her, but wasn't disarming her a little uncalled for? Kurumi shot the girl a questioning look.

Kurumi bent down and picked up her wand, pocketing it and returning her attention back towards their professor.

Kurumi was just about to throw her bag over her shoulder and leave the room when she heard that she needed to stay behind. Merlin...was it because she had asked Kennedy to perform Accio in order for her to get her wand back?! Was she in trouble?! Getting detention?! More loss of house points?!

Kurumi quickly made her way over to the professor, hoping to get whatever it was over as quickly and painless as possible. "You wanted to see me, professor?"

She looked around, confused at what had just happened.

"Raven, what happened?" she said, but she couldn't hear herself. Oh NO! She shrugged up at Raven, with a sheepish look on her face. She was silly!

She stood up again and rolled her shoulders out.

BAM!!

Zhenya didn't try to use the shield charm, but she attacked her back with Expelliarmus! Suddenly Raven pushed herself and she fell backwards.

"Ouch.. That's hurt.." she murmured.

Class dismissed? Good!

Raven tried to stand up. Her back was painful. Then she walked toward Zhenya and asked her to go out together.

"Let's go." then she noticed that Kurumi and a hufflepuff girl was asked to stay behind. Raven didn't want to know more because it's not her bussiness.

"Thank you for today, Professor."
