Arya was SO SURE that this was the lesson that would have Ellie hooked on defense. It was in the dueling arena! Though admittedly it had been harder to get to Ellie than before. The captain had been prepaired this time.

But not enough to stop the Hufflepuff.

"Hey, Professor!" The woman got a wide smile as she tugged Ellie to the very front of class, no middle this time, and sat them in the center. Treyen could join Ellie on the other side this lesson if he wanted. The prefect wouldn't mind so long as he didn't distract Ellie from her learning. Hehe.

Tossing her bag to the side she leaned over and whispered cheerfully to Ellie, "I don't think we're doing more yoga."

Beezus stepped into the Dueling Arena where they were having their second Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She had never been there before, unlike the other students who joined the Dueling Club last term. Speaking of which, she wondered where the instructor on the club was. She didn't know him personally but they say he was one of a kind.

As she entered the room however, she was greeted with sunlight, in contrast to the ambiance they had last lesson wherein it was very dark. She took the light as a good sign. Surely, they would have a great time at this lesson. So..without any hesitation, she walked to the center where the purple mats where placed. "Good day Professor Romanos," she greeted her as she passed. Then she removed her backpack's strap on her shoulder, placed it on her side and took a seat on her mat.

Silvia walked into the room. She wasn't sure what to expect from this class, seeing as it was taking place in the dueling room. She didn't know any spells that would be good for dueling, and she didn't know if it was something she would be good at.

"Hello Professor," she said as she took a seat on a mat in the second row and waited for class to start.

Ariana Walked into the classroom and saw JORDAN! after saying hello & Good morning to the professor she took a seat next to him

After a strenuous Quidditch practice, Keefer wasn't sure he was ready for academics. But as he walked into the room, he was relieved to see the mats once more. Alright, a chance to stretch! His muscles were sore and tense.

"Hullo, Professor," he said as he walked past, wending his way toward a mat on the far right side. He sat down and immediately began to practice some of the poses they had learned in the previous lesson. The more practice the merrier, right?

Harvey entered the classroom.. and he saw that the classroom was different from last time.. he also saw that the professor was in attendence.. "Hello Professor, how are you today?" he greeted the professor before sitting down and waiting for the lesson to start.. he got out a parchment and quill.. all ready now..

Justin walked into class quickly and greeted the professor, " Hello, Professor Romanos. Good to see you again. " he said with a smile. then he found a seat next to Minerva. He looked over at her and grinned as he pulled his text book out along with a piece of parchement and his quill and ink well.

Hiya, Alyssa, No problem go ahead and grab a mat. He replied to his her and a friendly manner. So am I, I came extra prepared for the class as well see he pointed to the Quidditch goggles which lay around his neck. They're another one of my lucky charms. he said with a big grin on his face They used to belong to my Foster Father when he played professionally in America So far since he began wearing them a week ago nothing unlucky had happened to him.

Ever since he told Alyssa his secret about his bad luck he felt a lot better. Not very many things happened save a small slip here and there. Maybe having a friend who could keep his secrete with him helped a little.

Alex entered the dueling arena and looked around the room. There were dummies, the purple yoga mats and something that looked like muggle breakfast-in-bed trays. "This should be interesting", she said to herself. "Hello Professor", Alex said as she made her way to an empty mat. She sat down, got comfortable and waited for the lesson to begin.

Kimalia walked in for the lesson, should be interesting to see how this will turn out. "Good day, Professor." Smiling kindly, she then took a seat on one of the mats next to her housemates.

Alice walked into the Dueling Arena, excited for the latest DADA lesson. To the second year's surprise, light was streaming in through the windows. As her pupils adjusted to the brightness, the girl took a seat on an empty mat and greeted the Professor. "Good day, Professor Romanos," she said pleasantly while pulling her bag off of her shoulder and setting it beside her. Crossing her legs together, she remained quiet, waiting for the lesson to begin.

Vlimia walked into the Dueling Arena, squinting a little as a beam of sunlight hit her eyes. This proffesor was odd; she had to either have an eerily pitch black room or a blindingly sunlit room. After her eyes had adjusted to the overall brightness of the place, she noticed that there were familiar mats on the ground, this time with trays upon them. Vlim wondered if they were going to be getting food and having to check it for poison, but she doubted that - why would they be doing that in the Dueling Arena. It was pretty clear that they were going to be duelling. "Good morning, proffesor!" Vlimia said to Prof. Romanos. And now... we wait. She thought to herself.

Amethyst walked into the classroom and smiled. She had missed the first lesson due to her emotional issues, but couldn't miss the second. After seeing the professor, she went and nodded respectfully to her. "Good Morning, Professor. I hope all is well with you."

Tennessee made her way through the dueling arena for their second defense against the dark arts class. The brunette seemed to be excited to what are they gonna learn today. She was pretty wondering what happened to the stuffs inside the room however she looked around and found what she was looking for. The things were stuffed at the sides. She walked towards one of the mats, "good day Professor," she greeted as she passed by. The she continued to one of the empty mats near the front. She plopped herself and soon she was comfortably seated.

Raven walked to the DADA classroom, she was slightly familiar with this room.

Is it duelling arena? Cool!

She loved duelling, perhaps the Professor wanted to make a duelling club again?

"Good day Professor." She greeted the Professor calm. She saw Zhenya was there. Raven was smiled and sat next to her.

Medea was sitting quite comfortably on her mat, just waiting for the students to file in. Thankfully she did have to wait THAT long. "Hello, Miss Bishop."



"Good day, Mister Macey!" she greeted.



"Good morning, Miss Johansson."



"Good day, Miss Potter." she greeted with a smile. "I'm good, thank you."



Alas, the question about yoga. She'd been preparing for it. "You'll just have to wait and see." Shifty!



"Hello, Mister Jones." she smiled.



"Good morning, Miss Campbell." she greeted with a smile and nod.



"Hello, Miss McIntyre."



Oh! It was the boy with the cool pin. "Good day, Mister Escalante." she greeted in return.



Oh Merlin...

She was surprised by that yell alone hadn't caused a few of the students to get up and leave. Perhaps the yoga was finally growing on them. "Good morning, Mister Greingoth." she chuckled softly.



Oh, a student that wasn't present in her previous lesson? Medea didn't recognize her. Better late than never!



Medea smiled and waved back.



"Good day, Miss Burton." she smiled, amused by the question. "Vell, I can't say that I hate it." Reminded her of home actually.



Uh oh. Gloomy face alert. "Good morning." Miss Last Name We Don't Know Yet.



"Good morning, Mister Gunter!" she greeted with enthusiasm.



"Good day, Miss Skylar." she smiled and nodded to the girl.



Seems like a little handful of students hadn't made it to her first lesson. "Good morning." she greeted.



"Good day, Miss Potter." she smiled and nodded to the girl. Good, someone who actually looked forward to the lesson.



"Hello, Miss Carter-Hope."



"Hello, Miss Hollingberry." she smiled.



Oh, another cool pin that a student had. Seriously, what were those things for? "Good day, Miss Greenwell."



What was this?

Ellie Stone walking into her lesson?

Eyebrows raised in amusement, seeing the situation was quite similar to the previous lesson, Medea chuckled quietly, side-glancing to Mister Greingoth. "You'll just have to wait and see...Miss Stone."



She'd have to reward Miss Lovegoods somehow for achieving what could be the impossible. Quite frankly, she wasn't expecting the redhead to be in her class. "Good morning, Miss Lovegoods!"



"Hello, Miss Castell." she smiled and nodded to the girl.



"Good morning, Miss Talbot."



Medea smiled and nodded to the girl in greeting.



"Good morning, Mister Gert." she greeted happily as she adjusted her position on the mat. Foot was falling asleep.



"Good day." she smiled and nodded towards the young man. Another newcomer to her lesson.



"Good morning, Mister Marius." she smiled and greeted cheerfully.



"Good day, Mister Kim." she smiled, stretching her toes a little to get that prickly feeling to go away. Probably shouldn't sit on her foot before the lesson anymore.



"Hello, Mister Watson." she smiled. "I'm fine, thank you."



"It's nice to see you again as vell, Miss Wellheart." she smiled.



"Hello, Miss Delaine." she greeted.



"Good day, Miss Fanster."



"Good day, Miss Fischer." she greeted.



"Good Morning, Miss Maze." she greeted just as happily.



"Good Morning." she greeted warmly. Another new student in her class. "I'm doing fine, thank you."



"Good day." she smiled and nodded to the girl as she passed by.



"Hello, Miss Charlotte."



"Good morning, Miss Reinhart." Medea smiled. "I'm fine, thank you."

Vickers made his way down for his next class. As he turned the corner towards the DADA corridor he remembered the last lesson they had and was hoping this time they would have tables and chairs.

He crossed the threshold to the classroom and slowed a bit as he took it in.

The mats are still there. And not a chair in sight.

Siiigh.

But theres something that looks to be a breakfast tray. The Ravenclaw took that as a bit of consolation. He was looking forward for something to nibble at class.

"Good Morning Professor..." he greeted, nodding his head politely as he walked by and selected a mat by the front near the windows.

Alyssa smiled back at Oakey. Since the Professor had started her greeting she wasn't sure whether they were still allowed to chat, so she gave Oakey a two thumbs up gesture to indicate that she was glad that his luck was holding up. He still hadn't told her why he thought bad luck followed him, but just as long as he thought that the good luck charm was working, she was going to encourage him to continue using it.

Daisy walked into the classroom, looking round and seeing the familiar purple mats. A smile on her face, she was thankful the aching from the previous lesson only lasted a day. Otherwise, she may have thought twice about this lesson.
'Hello Professor,'she grinned, taking a seat near some Hufflepuffs. She was really looking forward to today's lesson. Hopefully it would be more pratical than the previous one.
