"Sorry," Kennedy mumbled when he heard her. The wand must of have collided with her. Ooops. He heard the clang on the floor and since he was still on the ground he scooted backward...just in case.

After a while he stood up and blindly dusted his pants. Why... did Kurumi sound far from him? Had she already taken her stance? He was about to answer when...

HE COULD SEE AGAIN.

One of the many things he learned today; he wasn't taking his sense of sight for granted...ever. Because then he gets run over and smacked.

He gathered his things that weren't far from where he stood and blinked. Oh yeah, being able to see was glorious. "Thanks for the lesson," he told Professor Romanos. It was the best DADA lesson he's had at Hogwarts so far.

- - - -

Kennedy turned back to Kurumi and grinned. "Thanks for being my partner," he said. "See you later." He didn't even mind the smack on the face now. He heard the professor tell the lion girl to stay behind so he went ahead and left.

Hopefully next lesson they'd be able to duel, but with a wider range of spells. Now, THAT would be fun too.

Oh, they were done already? Arya hadn't even gotten a chance to try a spell while blindfolded. And he hadn't had a successful attempt. Well, he didn't hit Arya, at least. He may have disarmed someone...

He scrambled back to his things and took out his quill and parchment. He closed his eyes and remembered how it felt to be facing an armed opponent without knowing where they were. Opening his eyes, he began to scribble furiously. I have to get it all down before it leaks out of my brain!

Once he was satisfied, he packed up and headed for the door. "Thank you for the wonderful lesson, Professor! I can't wait for the next one already!"

Alyssa was disappointed that DADA class had ended, but hoped that they would be given another opportunity to duel again. Gathering up her things, she walked up to the Professor and said,"Thank you for another interesting lesson again, Professor. I hope that the rest of your day will be a good one." before turning and walking out the door.

Picking up the first desk, she stacked it upon the second before Laura had arrived next to her. Goodness, well wasn't that a sight. "Spell gone wrong?" she grinned, peering closer at the green bumps. "Vould you rather I fix those, or vould you vont to go to the healer instead?" It was up to her after all.

Aw, and there was Kurumi. "Yes, I did." she nodded, summoning a folder towards her that had been nestled in a dark corner near the stands for the whole lesson. Pulling out a sheet of parchment, she handed it to the Gryffindor girl. It was the girl's schedule that was given to Medea in her office. Only a few days upon it were circled, as well as a few notes added under each day. "I circled the days in which vould be best for the both of us."

She sincerely hoped Kurumi knew what she was talking about. "The added information is just my usual times, in case you feel the need." Popping in every now and then was fine with her.

Tayla was glad her disarming spell had worked. She waited for Jacques to come back and ready his wand with his own spell. She was ready to perform a shield charm, but she got a bit distracted by a sudden sensation in her ear.

"Oh! Good one, Jacques!" she said as her wand flew out of her hand. She picked it up and realized she could hear again.

Realizing the lesson was over, Tayla came over to Jacques and thanked him. "See you around, Jacques. Thanks for partnering with me." She smiled at the Slytherin boy once more and went to gather her things.

"Thanks for the class, Professor!" she waved at Professor Romanos and made a mental note to practice the spells some more.

Waving goodbye to Kennedy, Kurumi's attention went back towards Professor Romanos.

She was summoning something?! Oh Merlin...

Kurumi stood and watched as the folded glided towards the professor and she took out a sheet of parchment from it. EEK! Kurumi had never seen detentions handed out in the form of parchment before...but this professor was new so maybe that it how she did things where she was from? Like, there was a form that you had to sign to accept your punishment or something?!

Accepting the parchment, Kurumi looked it over and instantly her facial expression relaxed. OOoooooooooooh! It was about those special lessons! "Oh, thank you, professor," Kurumi said with a faint smile, reading over the days and seeing where circles had been placed. "Actually, professor, I do not have any plans after this lesson," she said. Sure, it had "baking in the kitchens" written there, but Kurumi hadn't felt like baking much these days. Meditation and controlling her feelings was something that really needed to get done...even if it was an even bigger struggle now. "I could help move tables back to give us some room?" Since, well, the place was a mild mess at the moment.

Jen desided to stay behind for a little bit to clear things up
"Proffessor? Er..." she turned taword Laura
"I'm sorry about the spots. I didn't mean to."

Zhenya felt awful, "Oh I'm sorry Raven, I didn't know what was going on! I didn't mean to hurt you."

She heard the Professor talk, and gave a small smile to Laura, and said "Great lesson Professor!" and left with Raven.

Alex felt that she had learned a lot during the lesson, but truthfully she was relieved that it was over. She did not like having her hearing taken away, that's for sure. Gathering up her things she said, "Goodbye Professor". Then Alex headed toward the door.

Daisy grinned, waving goodbye to LuLu. It had been fun working with her, she though, picking up her things and making her way to the door with the rest of the class.
'Thanks Professor,' she grinned, 'It was a great lesson.'
With this new teacher, Daisy was really enjoying DADA lessons, and she'd learnt a lot in the past couple.

Laura looked at the Professor. "I'd rather you did it Professor, the nurse doesn't like me for some reason and I don't know what it is."

Minerva pulled out her parchment and started taking some notes. When she was finished she packed up and looked at Justin. "You ready?" She headed out of class, but not before saying good bye. "Bye Professor, Thank you for the interesting lesson."

Lily waited as Violet got her stuff together. Once they met up again, Lily smiled. "Ok. Let's go!" Lily said leading the way out of the class. She was always happy to make new friends, especially friends in her year, so that she could have friends through all seven of the years at Hogwarts.

He felt the spell leave his wand. No sooner has he done so when he felt something hard bounce off at something in front of him and fall onto t he floor just as heavily. Merlin! Did he just knock Gideon out cold?

But the Gryffindor was prepared wasnt he? He heard him raise the shield spell.... or he thought he heard him raise it....

"G-G-G-Gideon?!?? Are you alright?" the Ravenclaw blurted out in sheer panic. Just then he felt the blindfold fly out of his head, instinctively raised his arm against his face as brightness flooded his sight. Blinking a few times he oriented himself to seeing again-- then stared at the floor.

A dueling dummy planked before him.

Whut???

For a split second he thought he accidentally turned Gideon into the dummy when he realized he was now facing the wall. He was facing the wrong direction all this time? He turned quickly and saw the Gryffindor boy standing there quite alright. He breathed a sigh of relief "You're ok. Awesome." Really it was awesome. He has never felt more relieved seeing a student alive and well after feeling incapacitated and from the looks of the dummy, totally dangerous with a wand.

Then the DADA Professor started winding down and mentioned homework. He collected his things quickly then turned awkwardly towards the Gryffindor "Thanks for putting up with me. Sorry if I hurt you in any way... I didnt mean to." If only the boy knew Vickers could barely hear him.

He excused himself as he shuffled towards the door quietly, not giving the Professor her usual farewell greeting. He was embarrassed, and didnt feel like he could face the Professor after having done rather poorly in her class today.

Right...now? In here?

Glancing around the arena for a split moment, she shrugged her head from side to side, taking it all in. She supposed this was a decent place to meditate. Once the tables and mats were pushed to the side, there would be a nice open area, and it'd be quiet once the rest of the kids left. "If you're up for it." she smiled, stacking a third desk on the previous two.

Had nothing really to do after this lesson anyhow.

It wasn't quite her business, but she couldn't help what happened the last time the Hufflepuff girl ran into the healer. "Vell, this isn't too hard to fix." Just a little spell mishap. By the looks of it, her partner had mispronounced 'protego'.

Her partner in which was...right there. "It's quite fixable, Miss Emery." Tracing her wand around Laura's face, muttering something under her breath, the green spots disappeared. "See? Good as new."

"Alright then."
She turned to Laura.
"Hope to see you again sometime."
As Jen walked out the door, she thought something.
Maybe I should act like other slytherins and not apolijize. Then again, maybe I apolijized to not loose points for Slytherin house. Oh well, this world is crazy.

" Yeah, let me just write this down quickly. " Justin said as he wrote everything down. and grabbed his bag and said quick, " Great lesson today , Professor. Have a nice day. " he smiled as he followed Minnie out of the class

dunno if you want to stay in this thread or move...elsewhere? XD
 

Kurumi nodded her head sharply to confirm. The sooner the better. She always tried to keep the Headmaster's mantra of constant vigilance in her own mind, but with everything going on these days...Kurumi's vigilance was wavering.

Walking over to a row of desks, Kurumi began to push and stack them off to the side until there were none left in her area. The physical exertion was surprisingly refreshing. Carrying the heavy desks off to the side, flexing her muscles, hearing the wood and metal clang against each other...it made her feel alive. All her senses working together to take in everything.

Kurumi then began rolling up mats and setting those to the side, leaving the one she had been sitting on during the lesson out. You...needed these things for yoga and meditation, right? Kurumi was used to tatami mats when it came to these practices, so she wasn't entirely sure.

Yes I'm a Huffie. I'm brown nosing :D
 

Alyssa was almost at the door, before she realized that she had forgotten to ask whether the Professor needed any help. So she waited until she was done speaking with Kurumi before she approached the Professor again. "Uh Professor Romanos. I know that I asked you the last time, and you didn't need help then, but I was wondering whether you need help now to rearrange the chairs and tables back to their original positions. I really don't mind helping out." Alyssa asked the Professor.

"You as vell, Mister Wellheart." she smiled and gave a little wave.

Oh?

Halfway to picking up another desk, Medea looked up to the young Hufflepuff who came back to help out. Wasn't surprised to see it was Miss Potter. Even if she already had Kurumi helping, she didn't mind another helping hand. It'd make this go faster.

"If you vont to." she smiled. "Ve're just pushing them to the side."

"Cool. I'll do that now, Professor."Alyssa smiled glad to be of help. She quickly put down her back pack and picked up one desk and carried over to the side. She wondered why the Professor wasn't using magic to do this but figured she had her reasons. Do
She just did what she and Kurumi were doing.

'Actually this exercise will come in handy. It will definitely strengthen my arms. Better to swing the bat with.' Alyssa thought to herself, giggling as as she went to pick up another desk and move it to the side as the Professor has instructed. With all three of them working together, they would get this room back the way it was.

just to wrap up here *nods*
 

Finished with her section, Kurumi turned around to face the professor. She was really eager to get these private lessons underway so that she could control things much easier and not be the physical embodiment of a mood ring for people to gawk at, when she saw that Alyssa had stayed behind.

Oh...

Clutching a mat to her chest, Kurumi just stood there waiting for the Hufflepuff to leave. Unrolling the mat, Kurumi pretended to fuss with it. She really didn't want an audience or any questions asked really...so best to look like she was keeping busy, yeah?

Alyssa noticed that Kurumi had finished with her section. She didn't leave though but instead started unrolling a mat. This made Alyssa think that she was waiting for something...or someone. Then she realized that it was her!! She quickly finished carrying the last desk and placed it on the side, before making her way back to the Professor. "I'm all done Professor and it looks like Kurumi and you are too. So I'll just say goodbye and thank you for allowing me to help out."Alyssa waved at Kurumi, to let her know that she was leaving. Alyssa then made her way out the door, leaving the Professor and Kurumi behind.

Laura looked at Jen and smiled. "It's okay Jen, I know you didn't mean too." Laura smiled and she held out her hand for Jen to shake. "Friends?"

Laura smiled at the Professor. "Thank you so much Professor." This professor was one of her favorates now.
