You enter the Arithmancy Classroom, hopefully with your wand, and most likely slightly unsure as to what a class based on numbers would require use of a wand for.
Professor Hadley is perched in her usual start of lesson spot, seated on the desk at the front of the room with a large wrapped box next to her. She might seem preoccupied with twirling her wand between her thumb and forefinger, but as you take your seats, she'll look up to say 'Good morning' to you.
Take your seats and lesson will begin shortly.
ooc: lesson will begin in about 12 hours (or whenever I wake up tomorrow?) you know the drill. <3

And then he sat down. And then Kurumi sat near him. And then she was whispering something to him. And then... Oh shoot. "Um, yeah... She's my mum's sister." He blushed. Pao hadn't exactly been hiding this fact, but he certainly wasn't trumpeting the news. I guess now it's the end of the year and I've already established myself it can't hurt too much. "That's why I'm here instead of somewhere in Italy by my parents. We'll see if they let me stay for next year. They may not be able to take the distance."

"Right then. I guess we'll just get started then," Fina said, hopping down off the desk. "I brought a prop with me, but before we get to that, just some basic information to go over. Curse-breaking is unique as no cursed object or person may necessarily react the same. Before we proceed to break a curse, we have to know what?"
He gave his aunt a smile as she greeted him. "I can't wait for this!" he said as he took his seat.
So she'd brought a prop. Yes, this confirmed his suspicions. They were going to get a demonstration! And when she asked the question his hand hit the air. He enjoyed being able to actually contribute to a class for once. "Don't we need to know what the curse is going to do to us if we activate it? Or maybe what exactly the curse IS?" Two ways to word the same thing.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Oakey nodded quickly and carefully set his wand on the desk. His toothy smile faded into something more of a excited smirk.
After Professor Hadley hopped down grom her desk and asked the first question. Oakey litterly almost fell backwards from his chair as he shot his hand in the air. "a Ma'am! WHOAH!" He shoved his chair forward and placed it's front two legs back n the floor. "Sorry Professor, I uh I think that to break a curse we need to know how to identify it and cast the proper counter curse to break it." Oakey sat completely still in his chair after answering. If he got anymore excited he may hurt himself.

Looking around she saw a few already there. "Hello Professor, how are you?" She gave her head of house mom a nice smile and headed to find a seat.
Minerva found an empty seat and sat down. "Hey Jory" Minerva smiled at her fellow puff and then pulled her parchment and quill out to be ready for when class started.
Jory looked around when he heard someone call his name. "Hello, Minerva,'' he said when he spotted his friend as she took a seat. He was going to ask her how she was but just then Professor Hadley spoke.

And time for class to start and the first question was on curse breaking. Is that what they would be doing with their wands today? Jory raised his hand. "We have to know their effects would be,'' he said. That way they'd be able to take immediate action when the effects take place.
Louisa watched the other students file in before professor Hadley started the class. The Ravenclaw leaned away from Vickers, this class needed a lot of focus you know. Hehe.
Oh. Breaking a curse. AGAIN. Ugh. The girl remembered this class from a couple of terms back, it's probably not the same but some basic knowledge from before was enough to know that this class was going to be hard. She scribbled down some references on her parchment before raising her hand. "We need to identify the curse first. That's one of the two essential first steps." Louisa lowered her hand and continued, "The second step is to know how to bypass or break the said curse."

Just as he whispered back to the Head Girl the Numbers Guru stood from her desk. He settled back into his seat when the Professor asked the question. Piercing blue gaze goes back to the box as their topic returned to Cursebreaking. He took a few seconds to ponder the question before raising his hand "Professor, maybe we should determine if an object or location is cursed first, just so we dont waste resources applying curse-breaking techniques when its not needed..." he started, eying the box on the table "...then once we are sure that something is likely cursed, figure out what kind of curse is applied onto it so we can enforce the necessary counter-curse."

A prop, eh? Was that the box that was sitting on her desk? Ella had noticed that but thought it might be some kind of gift given to Professor Hadley from one of the seventh years...wibble.
What should they know before trying to break the curse? Well they'd need to know what they were up against, yeah? Like what dangers might be involved with a particular curse and some spells that might help break it? Those sort of things? Best to do the research first before going into action. "Professor? I also think we'd need to know a bit about what type of curse we'd be dealing with before trying to break it."

Sierra glanced up as the professor hopped off her desk. Yup...definitely a Hufflepuff. That action just seemed like something an over-eager Badger could do at the start of class. Sierra focused on this thought for a moment until the professor asked the first question of the lesson.
Sierra raised her hand. "Well, it's just like you said--no cursed object or person may react the same," she said, lowering her hand. "So I think you first need to figure out exactly what sort of curse you're dealing with, and then you figure out how to react to that specific curse. Otherwise, you may be getting nowhere fast, or worse--causing a serious accident."
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Her smile got wider at the Professor's response to her greeting; she didn't call her Alexis. A dreadful name that should've been buried.
Curse breaking?! Interesting...guess that explained why they'd be needing there wands. She tried looking a bit more attentive now. Curse breaking could come in handy later on...she didn't know where life would take her--but she was excited about it!
Aaaannnddd the question. She decided to give answering it a go. "Well I think you'd have to know which curse it is first so you can know the strength and nature of it. That way you'll be prepared for anything that might happen if you screw up....might help if you know how to remove it too..." Jut saying. She was pretty sure that once you found a curse there wouldn't be any time to go to the library and check out a book on removing it.

What were they supposed to know? Call Kat stupid but she was officially clueless. The blonde had to rethink the question again and again until she came up with an answer that wasn't so... smart. Is that the right word? First off, the blonde thought of the Curse Breakers and what they should know before they do such thing. "Maybe we'll be dealing with numbers," Kat said. What could she even say? Arithmancy had letters and numbers, right? "After all, Curse Breakers do some banking and everything."
It was a guess. Sorry, Professor, if it was stupid.

Hmm. It was good they were still thinking about curse-breaking, because it was a topic of interest to Vivi, and she looked forward to this class each time it met. It was all a bit abstract for her, especially as Vivi liked the concrete, but she was interested, and she was mentally and physically present. Which was really saying something for the seventh year at this point.
"I agree with my classmates, Professor. Identification of the curse, if possible, would be ideal, as well as identifying the strength and possible side-effects."

Which would mean they would have to have something cursed to do the breaking.
When the question came Minerva put up her hand, "Professor, if we are going to do curse breaking, don't we need to first know some of the curses and what their affects could possibly be? I know you said there can be different reactions, but we would have to know some similarities to know how to break it." Well she hoped that was close to being right at least.
"Precisely right. We do need to some of the curses out there that we could be up against..." Hadley nodded.

"Yes. Knowledge of the curse. Very important." And slightly different from knowing all the possibilities.

Effects yes. Hadley just nodded this time.

And then nodded again at the little first year Gryffindor.

"Funny you should mention that because believe it or not, knowledge of numbers and their powers actually do have something to do with curse-breaking," Hadley agreed at the Slytherin. Really. It wasn't dumb sounding at all. This WAS Arithmancy class, after all.

But before I do that, let's make a list of all the possible curses you can think of and what they do. I'll write them on the board as you call them out." Just so that had that for reference. Good place to start by knowing the possibilities of what they were up against, right?

Gideon listened to his classmates answer, writing a few notes down in the process. However at the next question, the seventh year decided to contribute, raising his hand to answer once an idea came to mind. "There's the gemino curse, which duplicates the cursed item whenever its touched." That certainly sounded like a curse that might make sense for a cursebreaker to deal with.
elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿
So they were all on the right track? That was good! Ella scribbled down some notes and then stroked her imaginary beard. What were some curses that might be put on objects. Raising her hand, the third year said the first one that came to mind. "Professor, there is the Gemino Curse. It is used to duplicate an object." And that could get quite messy depending on how many time a particular object was touched!

Listening she had been. Yep. She just didn't have anything to add to the conversation, so she had been taking notes instead. Anyway, she did have a good answer for this question and one no one had said yet to boot. "There's the Silencio curse that renders people silent." Which would definitely cause problems, especially if one wasn't trained in wand less magic. After all, how could you cast a spell if you couldn't say it and didn't know wand less magic?

Ethan had sat silent in response to Hadley's first question. It wasn't as if he didn't have an answer, but he had nothing to add to the other answers already given. They seemed to cover it. But the next question seemed to have far more opportunity for a variety of answers, given the vast amount of curses in existence.
His eyes drifted over to the two who answered Gemino.. he also knew its sister spell to be quite a useful charm.. but that wasn't the question. Thinking for a moment so as not to repeat anyone else's answer, the fifth year's hand shot up in the air. "The Flagrante Curse causes objects to burn a person if touched."

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Giving himself a mental yes! score 10 points to Oakey House. Oakey quickly removed his quill and noted what he had said previously on a piece of parchment about "Another curse could be the Expulso curse." he began "It's a curse that causes an object to explode." He figured it would be a Curse Breakers least favorite curse. Say they finally reach the item only to have it explode on them if the curse wasn't removed properly. All that hard work for nothing.
Louisa scribbled down some of her classmates' good answers and then listened to Hadley once again. They needed to find out if the object was cursed first. Hmm. Well duh, that should've come to her mind first but she thought this was a given fact. Oh well. This next question though could help them to determine whether the object was cursed or not.
With her quill twiddling in her two fingers the Ravenclaw raised her other arm, "There's the Impediment Curse, professor. It either slows or stops an object or individual, immobilizing them for a short period of time." It was the curse placed on that box from few terms away as far as Louisa remembered.

Penelope really wasn't happy about this class considering they were apparently going to be using their wands, and now they were supposed to list off some curses. Meh. She had to think for a bit, trying to think of a curse she'd heard about...besides the ones other students had already listed, of course. Finally, after a bit, she raised her hand. "There's the Full Body-Bind Curse. It makes your body freeze up so you can't move."

She used the girl's first name. The last lesson called for a note of informality....
"Right then. I guess we'll just get started then," Fina said, hopping down off the desk. "I brought a prop with me, but before we get to that, just some basic information to go over.

"That's why I'm here instead of somewhere in Italy by my parents. We'll see if they let me stay for next year. They may not be able to take the distance."
Kurumi paused for a moment when Professor Hadley addressed her not as Prefect Hollingberry or some other variation of her last name...but by her first name. Perhaps for the first time? No, the Arithmancy professor had done so once before back when they were doing family numbers and she hadn't known certain things about herself to be able to calculate it. Ended up crying right in the middle of class...
Merlin had she come a long way since then.
Attention on Logan again, Kurumi simply nodded and didn't comment too much on what he was sharing. The first year did seem a little uncomfortable sharing this information with her - which she could understand. Favoritism was something that had been an issue at her non-magical school back in Japan. "Well, for what's it's worth, I hope that you come back to Hogwarts." Even if she wouldn't be here...which was a very sobering fact.
When Professor Hadley asked the first question, one that had been part of the review at the beginning of this term along with a review of the walnut curse breaking lesson, the Gryffindor decided to remain silent and listen to others, jotting down a few notes here and there instead. Everyone had covered essentially everything anyway, so no need to repeat information.

Good place to start by knowing the possibilities of what they were up against, right?
This time the Gryffindor did raise her hand to answer. "I am not sure if you can cast this curse on an object and have it produce the same result, but there is the Lycacomia Curse which induces lycanthropy." It would be pretty horrible if this spell could be cast on an object and then whoever touched it became a werewolf...the thought sent a shiver down the Gryffindor's spine and she rolled her shoulders to try and brush the thought off.

How did she ALWAYS know what to say to make him feel more comfortable? That Lewis Rasting boy was truly lucky. He smiled weakly. "Me too," he said quietly as the lesson continued.

Pao internally beamed. He glanced sideways to make sure Kurumi had noticed. His chest was slightly puffed out, but ONLY slightly. It couldn't be too obvious, after all. He didn't want to come off arrogant. He suddenly realized he had missed like three answers and quickly turned his attention back to the lesson.
Listing all the possible curses? Hmmmm... Being only at the end of his first year, he didn't know a ton of curses. The only ones I've really heard of are... "The Unforgiveable Curses, Aun--Professor?" he said with another sideways glance. As in killing, torture, and control. He wasn't sure he could actually pronounce them, so he left it to their generic title. As soon as he gave his answer, he scrambled to catch up with jotting down all the curses from the board.

And then Kurumi spoke up next to him. His eyes bugged out for two reasons. Number one: how was she so smart? That's like... super complex-sounding and really advanced! Number two: you could become a werewolf just by being hit by a spell or touching the wrong thing?!?!?!?! His mind was blank of everything except SHEER AND UTTER PANIC.

"So yes, you're all thinking on the right track," Hadley said, which was good if they were all on the same page. "First we need to make sure the object is indeed actually cursed. But before I do that, let's make a list of all the possible curses you can think of and what they do. I'll write them on the board as you call them out." Just so that had that for reference. Good place to start by knowing the possibilities of what they were up against, right?
Jory raised his hand after listening to some of the responses. "There's the Blasting Curse, Confringo, Professor,'' he said. He need not explain what that did, the name sad it all. It makes whatever the spell makes contact with ignite in flames.

All the possible curses. She didn't know any by name but this lesson would prove very important to her and Cassia's research so she sat diligently and listened to the others give their guesses. As they gave them she scribbled them down. Later she would find the young snake and they could go through the list ruling out the unlikelys until they found the right fit.
Just by hearing some of them she could rule them out immediately but she still wrote them down anyway. You never knew when they might pop up and leave a girl unprepared.
Anyone else wanna make her list longer? Hm?

Sierra looked around the room and paid careful attention as her classmates answered. She didn't think Hadley would appreciate repeated answers, although, sometimes they couldn't be avoided. What with everybody raising their hands and sharing their answers at once...
There was one Sierra thought of that hadn't been said, though, so she raised her hand before it could be suggested by somebody else. "There's the Flagrante Curse," she said. "It causes an object to emit heat when touched." So in other words, that could really do some damage if somebody just walked up and touched an object cursed with the Flagrante Curse.

Raising her hand, the third year said the first one that came to mind. "Professor, there is the Gemino Curse. It is used to duplicate an object." And that could get quite messy depending on how many time a particular object was touched!
Hadley stared for a moment. Coincidence totally that they both mentioned the duplicating curse, within seconds of each other. "Correct. Correct." She said, making care to say it twice. Because she may as well stick with the duplicating trend.

Anyway, she did have a good answer for this question and one no one had said yet to boot. "There's the Silencio curse that renders people silent." Which would definitely cause problems, especially if one wasn't trained in wand less magic. After all, how could you cast a spell if you couldn't say it and didn't know wand less magic?
"It's actually more of a charm, then a curse. Curses usually have a more ...." Fina paused thinking for a moment. "A more dangerous ... undertone to them." She wrote it anyway on the board, putting a light line through it.

But the next question seemed to have far more opportunity for a variety of answers, given the vast amount of curses in existence.
His eyes drifted over to the two who answered Gemino.. he also knew its sister spell to be quite a useful charm.. but that wasn't the question. Thinking for a moment so as not to repeat anyone else's answer, the fifth year's hand shot up in the air. "The Flagrante Curse causes objects to burn a person if touched."
Hadley nodded, writing that one on the board as well.

He figured it would be a Curse Breakers least favorite curse. Say they finally reach the item only to have it explode on them if the curse wasn't removed properly. All that hard work for nothing.
"Yes. Very dangerous too if an object is cursed with this where you're working." She nodded.

With her quill twiddling in her two fingers the Ravenclaw raised her other arm, "There's the Impediment Curse, professor. It either slows or stops an object or individual, immobilizing them for a short period of time." It was the curse placed on that box from few terms away as far as Louisa remembered.
"Probably one of the most common too. At least in terms of initial contact, as it's useful sometimes to delay." Gives time for more harm to happen.

"There's the Full Body-Bind Curse. It makes your body freeze up so you can't move."
"Another useful one if you're looking to delay or distract temporarily." But generally pretty harmless.

"I don't think that the curse could be cast on objects... at least not that I've seen...." Hadley said, pondering this now. "But yes. Good." She added that one to the board as well.

She then heard a familiar voice speak up... but this one didn't give what they did. And it was just as well, because had he, well, Fina might have just walked him out of class right there and demanded to know who taught him of those. As it was, she was still wondering where he'd heard of them. "Yes." She said quietly, "And those .... won't ever be taught in my classes other than the name." She can't speak for her colleagues though, but she would hope that they had the good sense to not teach them such dark spells.

"Similar in effect to expulso, but yes, you're correct." Fina nodded at the fifth year.

"Yes, yes." Had Sierra been hit with a duplicating spell too, as she repeated something said before too?
"There's still some more curses out there that haven't been mentioned. Keep them coming..." She said, looking to those who hadn't answered and maybe even to those who had, if they wanted to offer up another curse
"Alexa? Have you any ideas of one?" She called out on the Gryffindor who seemed to be more interested in taking down the curses others mentioned than sharing her own ideas; something told Fina though the girl researched her fair share of them despite her young age.
