Walking into the arena.. LuLu just took a peek before she went in in case the lesson had started since it was kinda late! There were no yoga moves going on yet she was okay! No, no yoga moves! ''Hello Proffeser Romanos,'' she greeted, normally, looking around for mats, yoga mats.

Laura walked into the classroom, seriously she was hoping the Professor was in a better mood than last time. "Good day Professor." Laura smiled. "How are you today?"

Daichi was a little reluctant to go to the second DADA lesson. He was afraid that the candles were present in the room again so that was why he dragged his feet towards the dueling arena.

Arriving at the arena, Daichi opened the door and peeked inside the room. The room was BIIIIG and seeing no scary fire candle lights he sighed in relief. His personality immediately changed from nervous to .... normal for him and he entered the room.

"Hello Professor Romanos~!" he said cheerfully, completely different from how he had been in the first lesson. He smiled brightly at the woman before finding a place to sit on a purple mat.

Louisa, with a new determination to nail this subject, half-skipped into the arena. And stopped at the door taking in the new arrangements. Hmm. Niiiice. What with this professor and purple mats, though? And little trays that had no food on? Turning her head, she spotted the woman standing there as lovely-looking as ever.

The fifteen years old went on further into the room and gave the foregin professor a formal small smile, "Good day professor.." Louisa just had to work on her last name. Was it Romanos or Ramonas? Where were the 'o's and where were the 'a's? Ignoring the awkward silence, she just pretended that nothing was about to come out and found herself a place to sit on. A place as in a mat.

"Hello, professor!" Janice said happily as she strode into the classroom. For a DADA class, yoga-ing isn't that much of a Defense lesson. Perhaps that was why deep, deep down inside Janice isn't that much of looking forward to the lesson like the first proper class (well, at least she thought that it is a proper class) since Borr rose to power.

"Hello, Professor,'' Jory said as he walked into the DADA classroom. He took in the surroundings with interest, recognizing the purple mats. He headed off to take a seat on one of them. He wondered what they were going to use the trays for. "Ah well,'' he thought "We'll soon find out.''

"Good morning, Mister Vanderbilt." Medea greeted with a smile.



Hmmm, of course. Medea had seen the girl in her previous lesson. "Good morning." she greeted in return with a warm smile, nodding ever so slightly at the girl's request. Though whether she'd go through with it was a mystery. "Of course, Miss Lecium. I'm doing fine, thank you."



"Hello, Miss Gardiner." she smiled before glancing at her watch. Almost time.



"Good day, Miss Tucker."



"Good morning, Miss Kieren."



Miss Stubborn had arrived. "Good morning, Miss Hyde." she smiled with her greeting. "I'm doing fine, thank you."



Seeing that young Mister Katharos seemed to be doing better this lesson, Medea smiled and nodded to the boy. "Good morning, Mister Katharos." she greeted just as cheerfully.



It almost looked as if the girl was going to say something else, which was why Medea was hesitant to greet the girl back. Yet after a moment, she smiled. "Good morning, Miss Carter."



"Good day, Miss Trewhella." she smiled, glancing at her watch once again. Right. Almost time.



"Good day, Mister Stonewall." she greeted, shifting around a little.



Though, looking around the area to see how many students were there, Medea stood up and cleared her throat. "Alright, ve're going to wait a few more minutes for any stragglers but in the meantime, for those who are here, good news for you. Ve von't be doing any yoga today. However, if you vont to get up and stretch...now is the time to do so." she said, starting to stretch herself by reaching up and stretching her back. "And I highly recommend doing so."

Tayla arrived for the next D.A.D.A. lesson just in time. "Good morning, Professor Romanos!" Tayla smiled. She liked the atmosphere of the room very much. She took a seat on one of the mats and started to stretch. It felt really good.

No yoga?

That's nice but at the same time Jonathan will be missing the yoga posses from last time. It was really good to have some exercise. Oh well~~. Jonathan stood up because Professor Romanos wanted them to do some stretching before the lecture will start.

He stretched his hands up like what the professor had said.

‘Hello Professor’, Gwendolyn said while entering the classroom. She still tried to regain her breath after running like crazy to arrive in time for this class. She had never been late and this wasn’t the time to start. Wait- I arrived in time, right? Riiight?, the third year asked herself as she looked around. Oh come ooon- no more yoga!, she thought. The classroom seemed a bit different from the last time, and yet, the purple mats were still there.

Oh goodie! No yoga!, Gwen heard the Proffessor say. Phew… that’s good to hear, she told herself and waited eagerly for class to start.

Zhenya was relieved to see that they weren't going to be doing Yoga and answer questions. Not that she didn't enjoy yoga, she just had trouble speaking through some of the poses.

She stood up and got down into Downward facing Dog to stretch her arms and shoulders and legs. It felt goooooooooooooooooood. Then she came up and stretched her while body up.

Vlimia smiled when she heard they didn't have to do any yoga, but they could if they wanted. She might as well, it wasn't like there was anything better to do but wait. Vlim stood up, drawing herself to her full height, and lifted her arms over her head like the proffesor showed them. She tried to stretch herself up to the sky, like a giant. Who said yoga couldn't be fun?

Messer was running to the DADA classroom from the common room. He hoped he's not late for the second DADA lesson. He entered the classroom breathless. When he entered the class, he saw that they're doing some stretching. "Hello, Professor. I'm not late am I?" Messer greeted the Professor after he catch his breath. He went to one of the empty mats and put his back before he went to stretch his back like the others.

Alyssa did as Professor Romanos instructed and got up from her sitting position and did some stretching. She stretched her arms way above her head and then she bent her torso from the waist first to the front and then to the back. She then twisted her torso and lastly she stretched her legs, bending them at the knees and leaning forward. Now that she was all stretched out, she waited for further instructions.

Minerva got up from her mat and put her arms above her head and put her feet apart. Stretching up above her head it felt good to feel the stretch. After yesterday's bludger to the shoulder Minerva was feeling a bit stiff. She stretched and waited for class to begin.

Alice stood up and started to stretch, as her Professor had instructed them to do so. After sitting cross-legged on the mat for quite a while, it felt nice to move her muscles. Her legs had been starting to stiffen. She sighed as the Professor announced that they wouldn't be doing any yoga. She had quite liked it...

Louisa settled down on the mat, sliding her should bag over her head and setting it on the ground and against the tray's leg. She listened to the professor and was a tad disappointed about the non-yoga class, it meant they were going to actually focus of defense against dark arts.... which was the point of this subject, actually.

Internal sigh.

Standing on her feet, Louisa stretched her arms slowly and as high as they went. Aaaaaah, it felt so good. The girl closed her eyes and stayed standing like this.

No Yoga? Really? She thought looking down at the purple mats. Then what were the purple mats for? She shrugged it off and stood up to stretch. She lifted her arms up over her head, and stretched her back. A large sigh slid out of her mouth, and she suddenly felt better than before. She sat back down and waited patiently for the lesson to begin.

Taylor smiled and got up from the mat she was on and started stretching. She was a little sad that they werent doing any yoga this lesson but she already did some yoga that morning so she was fine and happy just being in this class.

No yoga? Kurumi wasn't sure if she was disappointed or not with this idea. After all, she had been told to keep in mind how doing yoga helped them focus among other things by the professor herself. And now...no yoga? WAIT! This clearly meant that they were going to do some meditation...molding chakra and then using it to duel with each other. But wait! Stretching was good for improving athletic performance and decreasing the risk of activity-based injuries...so, maybe they weren't going to be molding chakra this lesson either.

Sprints around the dueling arena?

Standing up now, Kurumi mimicked the professor's movements, breathing in nice and slow and deep as she stretched her limbs.

Ella stood up and raised her arms above her head, reaching for the sky. She didn't mind stretching as she did it before she went for runs. It was something she was familiar with-not like that yoga stuff-that stuff was hard.

Olivia sat with her legs outstreached on the mat, and tried to touch her toes. She managed to grab hold of her big toe this feels so painful but yet so good Olivia thought. We weren't doing yoga, so that must mean we diddnt have to do yoga streaches.

Class has officially started!
 

She was right about there being a few more stragglers. "Good morning, Miss Barnhill." she smiled.



"Good day, Miss Greene." she smiled with a little nod.



Letting her arms drop to her sides, Medea looked at her watch for the last time before seeing just who was the last to enter. "Good morning, Mister Messer. You're right on time."



Stretching her arms, she looked back out to the crowd of students, taking note of who was stretching and who wasn't. She'd give the ones who were a few more minutes to do so, and the ones who weren't...a few minutes to start doing so if they so wished. "I think ve'll start now." Any more stragglers will have to do push ups. "Last class, I had you all do a few yoga positions. Any thoughts on why?" There was indeed a reason.

Lets see how many students were paying attention to each-other's answers and could actually remember them from the previous lesson.

Alyssa thought for awhile before raising her hand."Professor was it partly for relaxation but mainly to help us limber up and learn to be more flexible in our body positions?"

Keefer went into the first pose of the lesson. I wonder if we'll be doing poses all class long again. He didn't mind. He rather liked it, actually. As to why they were doing it, though, he couldn't be sure. He had a guess, but that's all.

He attempted a hand raise, but it was difficult when you were stretching your arms. "Well, I've been wondering about that, actually. I think part of the reason is because it helps with our balance and flexibility, which can be essential in a duel." Not that he had any experience with such matters, but it made sense to him.

"But also I noticed that I was struggling to focus on the lesson while still contorting my body. As the class progressed, however, I was able to be attune to my surroundings and think critically while still doing physical activity. I think that would be invaluable in encounters with Dark magic of some sort."
