Default DADA Lesson : Ready minds for Review

Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson One


Upon entering the arena, it may have been a familiar sight for those who attended the first defense against the dark arts lessons from previous terms. The arena was exceedingly dark, windows having been closed off with dark burgundy, almost black looking, drapes that hung from ceiling to floor; more than likely to help with keeping out the cold as well. Deep purple colored mats were lined perfectly from one another in the middle of floor in rows of eight while a deep red mat sat in the front of them all where Professor Romanos currently sitting upon. However, one could still find their way around the room, for scattered around the edges of the arena, far away from where they all would be sitting, were a great deal of candles, both lighting portions of the walls, floors, and ceiling itself in a rather ghostly glow fashion. Glasses with candles that floated in water surrounded with the stationary ones to light up the particularly extra shiny floor were flickering calmly, while the ceiling was lit with an orange glow from the hovering candles, most commonly seen in the Great Hall. Don't worry though. No candle wax will be dripping to the floor.

A strange yet soft music could be heard gently playing in the background; though not loud enough to block out smaller noises such as the rustling of school bags or footsteps. Please come in and become comfortable on one of the mats. Class will be starting shortly!

Nigel just kept on jogging. He heard Beezus crack something that sounded like a rib. It sounded painful. She said a rat did it but Nigel knew it was a lie because he could not believe Professor Romanos would allow rats in the classroom.

Well, Back to the question. He knew about a couple dark spells. But did not want to say the three obvious ones.

"Professor, There is Fiendfyre.Its flames are so powerful it can destroy things and will create an ashwinder if left unchecked."

Nigel wondered if there was anything that can put out Fiendfyre because he knew aguamenti could not.

Kurumi did eventually push herself back upright, getting into something that someone resembled the boat position, but her attention was far from the other answers people were sharing because her attention was on Beezus and watching her every movement. Kurumi was no Healer, THAT was to be sure, but Kurumi also wasn't stupid and she knew something was wrong and...her Ravenclaw little sister of sorts really needed some sort of help despite saying she was fine. So when Professor Romanos said they would be standing up next, Kurumi moved slowly and kept her attention on the girl behind her as she moved into the new position.

And...well...since her hand was already up...due to the nature of the position and all...

"There is a spell, Tyrantio, that allows you to take over the body of someone else. It is similar to Imperio I've read...only I believe this spell is different in that the victim of it retains their consciousness..." the Gryffindor began, trying to recall all that she had read in a rather old book she had found in the reference section while reorganizing in there. "If you don't concentrate enough while casting...you also run the risk of crushing the other person's bones...which I suppose could be another desired result..." Which was...dark.

Try Grant...

He's a dark wizard for sure. But Gideon kept himself from mentioning the man's name. The seventh year certainly didn't want to think too much on him. It was bad enough all talk of dark arts and spells unless it was about dark creatures specifically like last term's focus,usually brought him to mind anyway. Sighs...maybe he shouldn't have have considered not continuing on with the class. Gideon unconsciously shivering and nearly falling down to the mat.

Moving his legs back down to the floor from the boat position, he gingerly got back up to his feet so he could stand. Glancing at Professor Romanos as she switched position, Gideon tried his best to duplicate the way she was standing bent over to one side with her right hand touching her foot. He staggered a bit at first before regaining his balance. Then awkwardly raising his opposite hand up in the air, the prefect attempted to answer the woman's question.

"All spells can be considered dark, it just depends on how it is used against a person." Grant certainly knew how to warp all sorts of spells into his evil bidding.

The professor looked towards Sierra. A delayed reaction from her, but this was new information to Medea. Anyways...moving on!

Upbringings and the settings in which one lives when younger can definitely influence a person's thoughts and actions, to the point of guiding them towards the darker arts, however...this is not always the case."

Medea paused momentarily to stand up. "You can lower your legs and stand up now. We're going to go into a position called The Triangle. I promise, it's not bad." Demonstrating the pose, she leaned to the side and raised her arm vertical to the ground, touching her ankle with the other. And now continuing...

Dark wizards, as we know, favor curses, especially the unforgiveables, but jinxes and hexes are not so foreign when it comes down to it. Can anyone tell me one dark spell and why it is considered dark?"

The Triangle


Annabelle blushed happily when she got her thoughts mentioned by the Professor. It was somewhat right and she would take it. Now she released her arms and legs from the boat position. They were actually shaking, she was out of shape. Then the professor instructed them to do another pose where they stood up and made their right hand touch their foot. It was called the Triangle. It was a nice stretch for her muscles, Belle felt. Then she heard the Professor ask another question and she wondered what dark spells she knew. She thought about it for a minute and said, "Professor isn't one spell called the Cruciartius curse? It is suppose to inflict pain on others."

Okay, so her answer had been correct. At this point, Ken dall really didn't care, even if she was supposed to be a 'Claw and therefore want to get correct answers. She'd heard that crack, and it was definitely not a rat. And she didn't care if Beezus had told Professor Romanos that she didn't need the healer. If her friend was in pain, that meant she needed help, and Kendall herself had dropped her legs from the boat position as soon as the crack had sounded. Therefore explaining why she knew there hadn't been any creatures around, because they would've gotten more squished. And she could tell that Kurumi wasn't exactly convinced either, since the Gryffindor prefect kept looking at Beezus while class had gone on around them. Something was wrong with just going on like nothing had happened. They'd paid more attention to the show getting thrown than they had somebody getting hurt, which was just bad. Almost like the professor was being a dark witch now, and Kendall had glanced next to her at her friend as she'd stood up. "Are you sure you don't wann go to the healer," she whispered. "I'll take you if you want." After asking permission of course.

For now, she'd go back to answering questions whiel she waited for a response from Beezus, awkwardly leaning over into the position that they were supposed to be in even as she kept her eyes on the other girl. "What about Crucio? It's an Unforgivable, so that makes it automatically dark, and is it true that you can't even cast it unless you want to hurt the person badly?," she answered. Like whatever had just happened, and that was just totally not right. Yoga wasn't fun anymore, although it had taken her mind off her problems. She didn't want Beezus to have gotten seriously hurt just to distract her, and she really hoped that the professor didn't think it was okay to let her continue in the lesson when she was injured. Stupid Gryffindor boy who'd gotten the shoe thrown at him hadn't gotten hurt, so Beezus was more important.

Elliot sighed with relief as they changed positions...thank Merlin! She stood up, her arms and legs a little shaky from being that stupid BOAT position...but she managed to do the triangle right...

Right. Curses. Dark spell.s Obviously the first ones to pop in her head were the Unforgiveables...but she could't say that, now could she?! She tried to think, but each time she thought of something, someone else took it! ANSWER STEALERS! It was a few minutes and heavy thinking before her hand shot into the air, "Professor, I don't know the exact curse, but wouldn't whatever produces Fiendfye be a dark curse? Because Fiendfye can't even be put out with Aquamenti..." she said, thinking back to something she read...as usual.

Oh! "Not really." she smiled, chuckling quietly. "Good one though."

Slowly lowering her legs before moving into the next position, Alyssa thought over the answer to the Professor's next question.

When she had the answer, she again let that answer go and thought of another one before raising her hand.

"Professor a dark spell is considered dark because no other sane and normal wizard or witch would ever think of using it like for example the Unforgivable curses. Avada Kedavra for example." Alyssa wasn't going to recite them since the other students already had.

"Like Professor Slughorn once said, the worst crime any wizard or witch can commit is murder. That is the darkest spell of all. Taking someone's life just for pleasure."

Minerva was happy to get out of boat position and stood up to get into triangle. Standing she placed her hands out parallel to the ground and then she leaned down and put one arm up in the air, checking the professor to make sure it looked right she decided to place her hand up a little further for the professor to see she wanted to answer the question.

"Professor, the cruciatus curse is a dark spell, because the caster is very very aware that he/she is torturing the victim, but does it anyway to get his/her on advantages met." Minerva shivered a bit even thinking about that curse, how anyone could be that mean she couldn't figure out. She was glad that she didn't know anyone that was that vicious even some of the meanest teachers here she didn't believe would ever use that one.

Wow, there was certainly a lot of commotion in the room! Eliza had never expected students to cast shield charms in the middle of a lesson that wasn’t about dueling, but now she’d be more on guard. The light from the student’s wand was astonishingly bright and it took her a moment to recover from its glare in her pupils. “Definitely wasn’t expecting people to be throwing shoes either,” she thought. “I guess I should’ve kept mine on in case I needed ammo!” she joked to herself. She wished it wasn’t so serious and quiet in the classroom. She would’ve liked to introduce herself to Cora’s friends, but she was sure she’d have the chance at a more social lesson.

She had thought the joke about defending yourself against women was sort of a funny one, because of course he hadn’t been serious. “Had he?” she wondered. Anyway it was time to move on. Now Romanos wanted them to do the Boat position. “Boat?” She watched the Professor lift her legs up into the air and balance on her rump. “Now that looks reaaallly relaxing,” she thought sarcastically.

She decided it was like you were going to summersault, but then you stuck your legs out and teetered in the middle instead. So that was how she went about it. The Ravenclaw wobbled and titled, but in the end she found that she could balance fairly well this way. “Somehow this is easier than the Lotus,” she noted. That was until her abs started shaking and burning from holding the pose. “Ohhh no. This is not good. Please let it be over soon,” she wished.

She thought about what would make a witch or wizard considered dark. Her initial assesment was because they seemed creepy or were always up to no good. Since that answer was sort of silly she said instead, “What makes a witch or wizard dark is that they practice dark magic and do bad things for their own benefit.” She had heard a lot of dark wizards named already and couldn’t think of any different ones. “And I don’t know an answer someone hasn’t said, but a dark wizard I know of is Grindlewald.”

The Triangle

“Ah, power - that’s what I was getting at,” she thought. “That makes sense. Lucky for me, I don’t think I’ll ever become that hateful and bad.”

“Oh, thank Merlin,” she sighed in huge relief as she dropped her position. She released so quickly in fact, that her heels hit the ground at high velocity and bounced a few times on her mat. “Ow!” she squeaked accidentally. She turned her eyes to the floor as she got into the Triangle position so she wouldn’t see if anyone had heard her.

As she leaned to her side and raised her arm, she felt a deep stretch through her body. “This isn’t so bad.” Another relief. Eliza was finding this class to be very valuable indeed. She wouldn’t have thought much about trying to identify dark wizards by how often they use hexes or curses. She hadn’t even really considered that a dark wizard might want to keep their true nature a secret either. It made her a little bit on edge having this new level of awareness to danger, but she supposed it was a good thing. “The spell that death eaters used to make the dark mark for…Voldemort. Wasn’t that spell called Morsmordre?” She thought she had heard that somewhere… “And it’s dark of course because it was used to call a horribly dark wizard, or other people who followed him.”

The Triangle


And the triangle position. The second year put down her legs and stretched her limbs before rising to her feet. Once standing she copied the Professor's move and it was easy actually considering that Cassia was short so she got to her ankle easily. Hehee. The pros of being short finally.

And the question. Cassia listened to a few answers and she wondered, weren't those the right answers? Weren't they supposed to give the wrong ones? The twelve-years old got confused causing her to blurt out the first thing that came across her mind, "There'e a very evil spell it's Sectumsempra....um...it hurts or something." How did the second-year know about such dangerous spell? That'd be because of peering at books into her father's study. Yup ,she did that.

What was this EVERY spell business? Some people were daft, right? West thought of the unforgivables and then changed his mind. You know, different answer. Stuff. West jogged on the spot and put his hand up. "The one what makes inferi, professor. Reanimating the dead." preeeetty daaaark, right?

Oh, finallyyy!! Sophie promptly got up from the boat position as professor Romanos told them to do so. She breathed in relief as she massaged her stomach. Luckly they didn't stay in that position long enough to make it all sore the next day!

The triangle position thing was way easier! Sophie didn't really mind it at all. After she leaned to the side and raised her hand in the air, she thought about the next question for a bit. Some of the other students were already giving their own answers and Sophie looked at the Gryffindor Prefect - that wasn't Kurumi - when he replied. "I agree with the Gryffindor boy Prefect, professor!" She said turning her head to face the older witch. She didn't know his name, but she knew he was nice. He hadn't gotten them all in trouble when they were caught in the courtyard and stuff! Nice Prefect!

Though professor Romanos would want a complement with that comment, right? "There are some pretty nasty spells indeed, like some people are saying, but isn't the intention what matters the most in some cases?" Sophie could give an example too, but she had really liked the Prefect's answer that all spells could be Dark and agreed 100%.

Wait... no, she didn't! "Of course, there are some simple spells, like the Colour Changing Charm..." A.k.a. her favourite spell ever. "... that are kind of impossible to be considered 'Dark'... but maybe they could be used in a very mean way?" Merlin, this 'don't answer the first thing that comes to your mind' thing was making Sophie's brain a little befuzzled!

Yes, it was time to move on.

"Now if we can all settle down, we can get through the rest of the period quickly." Readjusting her position as a few more people answered, she gave a nod to each. "Yes, each of you are correct, general opinion of women and gryffindors aside." Her bringing it up did not give the green light to argue about it. It could be done after the lesson. She was eyeing all of you!

"Some a little more obvious than others, but that is good. I'm glad to know you'll defend yourselves against trolls and spells. However, as a few of you have mentioned, some are not so easily recognizable, especially when the danger comes from our own impulses." Someone here had mentioned negative impulses, correct? "But, that is indeed life. When it comes down to it, it is best to listen to your instincts. Your guard should be on it's highest during those times."

Glancing from one student to the other, Medea moved into a new position. "This one's a killer. I'd like you all to move into the boat position." The student's favorite position, yes? "Speaking of impulses, what makes someone a dark witch or wizard? Who are some well known, or perhaps not so well known at all, people that have been labeled as 'dark'?"

Medea had to think about that one.

Oh! "Not really." she smiled, chuckling quietly. "Good one though."



She didn't need to see to know that the students weren't not enjoying this pose. Just a little longer though, while she got back into speaking normally. "I can honestly say, beaters are not considered dark people. Their intent is for purely game purposes, and intent is indeed a rather important factor when labeling a witch or wizard as dark." she nodded slowly, addressing the whole class. "As is their primary studies, which in this case, would be the dark arts; Voldemort, Bellatrix, Merwyn, and Grindelwald being just a few good examp- Remi Deveraux? Fight clubs here in Hogwarts? Really?"

The professor looked towards Sierra. A delayed reaction from her, but this was new information to Medea. Anyways...moving on!

"Power is definitely the more common desire a dark witch or wizard seeks when studying and/or practicing the dark arts, as well as the lack of remorse while most of their actions involves harming someone or, yes, selfish reasons. I think it was Miss Lecium whom mentioned the root of these people turning to darker natures was in their childhoods. Upbringings and the settings in which one lives when younger can definitely influence a person's thoughts and actions, to the point of guiding them towards the darker arts, however...this is not always the case."

Medea paused momentarily to stand up. "You can lower your legs and stand up now. We're going to go into a position called The Triangle. I promise, it's not bad." Demonstrating the pose, she leaned to the side and raised her arm vertical to the ground, touching her ankle with the other. And now continuing...

"Some may surround themselves with certain objects with deadly qualities, brew potions of more sinister properties, or become fascinated with creatures we all label as dark themselves. Most of the time though, we are not aware of these interests, which can become dangerous for us. What we can notice, and hopefully if any of you do you are well protected, is their choice of spells. Dark wizards, as we know, favor curses, especially the unforgiveables, but jinxes and hexes are not so foreign when it comes down to it. Can anyone tell me one dark spell and why it is considered dark?"


The Triangle



Ashten sighed with relief as they were allowed to change positions from the boat position. He was not one to be flexible and the position was killing him. He found, however, the triangle position to be obnoxious, and he could already feel the blood rushing to his head as he maintained the stance. Nevertheless, he closed his eyes and tried to think of spells that could be considered "dark." He thought of an idea, but, as per Professor Romano's instructions, he dispelled the response from his mind.
"It's too subjective to ask what kind of spells are dark," he said, after a few moments of thinking. "We all call the Unforgiveable Curses by that name because we as a wizarding community have subjectively labeled them as such.. . " he paused. "Professor, doesn't it take a different kind of skill to perform Dark Magic?" he put emphasis in his tone when he said Dark Magic, and also used air quotes. "You have to really want to inflict harm on another person in order for the curses, jinxes, et cetera to be effective, right?" He stood up because he was feeling light headed.

"Sorry man... I just... I cant see..." he mumbled at Ashten when he finally got himself to at least sit upright again. When the impromptu stars finally cleared he could make out some shoe throwing from Vivi (of all people) bulls-eying a Gryffindor boy. Witnessing that whole thing was pretty hilarious (even if it did cost them points) although secretly theres a part of him that agrees with the Lion boy's statement. But he'll be all quiet about that opinion. He can do without the shoe to the head thanks.

When Romanos say the boat position was a killer she sure wasnt kidding. But it did have its benefits-- it will do GREAT for the abs, which is part of the reason why he wasnt audibly complaining about it. Thing is he wasnt audible in anything, including answering that question.

SPOILER!!: Romanos

The Triangle

They get to stand now? Awesome!

After taking a moment to breathe in some much needed air he pushed himself onto his feet and started to bend just like what the Professor was demonstrating. Then she moves onto her next question. Which kinda got him thinking about all those Unforgivables he's read about but has never actually done. Which led him to thinking about his conversation with Louisa and what happened to her at Knockturn Alley over the summer. Which got him to thinking what he would do if he ever faces the foul Wizard.

He doesnt know any dark curses, have never practiced them. How in Gaia's green Earth will he ever defend himself or his loved ones from people like that? And although he'd like to fight fire with fire (figuratively or literally), being a monster to defeat a monster doesnt really appeal to him.

He waved his other hand now suspended in the air "Professor, arent any spell considered dark depending on how they're used? A slicing spell sounds pretty domestic, but if used against a person...." Catch his drift?

Aidan was having a jolly old time with these yoga positions. He really got into them. Not just standing in what looked like the position the professor took, but actually stretching, too.

"'Incarcerous' cause it can choke you." And that was bad. Though he didn't know if it was a jinx or hex or what. But intentionally choking someone wasn't a good think. He knew that much.

Silvia was relieved when they could move out of the boat position. It was not fun. She had been focused too much on not losing her balance and hurting herself that she had not answered the question. Plenty of other students to do that anyways. Letting go of her wobbling legs, she stood up and shifted into the triangle position. Much easier.

Now, for the new question, dark spells. Not a difficult question, except maybe for first years. Silvia was about to wiggle her fingers on the hand already raised in the air to indicate she wanted to speak, but then she paused. Think of a different answer, she told herself. “There is the blasting curse, which causes your target to explode. It can be considered a dark spell when used against another person, but it could also be used to remove an obstacle out of your way. So I guess that many spells also depend on the caster’s intent as to whether or not they can be considered dark spells."

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Jory was glad the were moving on to another position. he really didn't like the boat one. As he copied the new position just as the Professor was doing it, he thought of a hex or jinx that could work.

"The Hurling Hex, Professor,'' he said. ''Throwing riders off a broom is going to cause harm to them.''

Boat Position


Cora looked around the room, or what little she could see in the dark areas, and noticed everyone wincing and complaining about this next pose. Cora struggled at first to figure out how to mimic what the professor was doing, but once in position Cora didn't mind it so much. A bit painful, but not too difficult.

"A dark wizard would be one who uses dark magic to harm others," Cora answered, blushing slightly, as her answer seemed so painfully obvious. She had to wonder why the professor would ask such a question.

Cora thought about known dark wizards, and this hit too close to home. It got her started about thinking about her father, and how he, umm, left. Yes, left. Her eyes filled with water, and Cora quickly wiped them away, hoping SO MUCH that no one saw. She hadn't actually SEEN the wizard, but Cora knew he was dark. And dangerous. Instead of answering, Cora just remained in the boat position.

The Triangle


Cora heard sighs of relief erupting from all over the room as everyone simultaneously switched positions. Cora didn't mind either way, actually. She tried to concentrate on the new question at hand, and to not worry about the old one so much. She thought, and the first spell to come to mind was the Killing Curse. Switching to something different, Cora replied. "The Cruciatus curse is very dark." Cora took this one very seriously. The idea of another being being in pain was enough to cause Cora pain herself. She would NEVER be able to use it on anyone, and hoped to never witness it. "It is meant to torture another, and it is so terrible."

Eliza heard a certain…“What was it? Sadness?” in the way that Cora answered that last question. The way her voice sounded as she mentioned the Cruciatus curse… She must’ve felt really strongly about it, because her voice was clear as day as she described her view on it. Eliza wondered if something had happened to Cora with that curse before. “Is that why she’s so quiet sometimes?” she asked herself. She really hoped that no one had harmed Cora. She would have to ask her about it later, if Cora seemed willing to talk about it.

Eliza continued to hold her Triangle position and awaited the professor’s response to her students.

No more Boating. Good. That made her heave a sigh of relief, "..thank you Professor.." But ermm, their next position? Hopefully, it wasn't going to cause any more damage on her ribcage.

Turns out, it was the Triangle. She'd got to admit, it wasn't anywhere an easy stunt because it meant stretching the upper body. But at least, she didn't have to lift herself or anything. Plus, she can just bend a little to the side and not really streeeeeeeeeetch so the pain won't keep coming around.

SPOILER!!: Kurumi
Quote:

Kurumi was no Healer, THAT was to be sure, but Kurumi also wasn't stupid and she knew something was wrong and...her Ravenclaw little sister of sorts really needed some sort of help despite saying she was fine. So when Professor Romanos said they would be standing up next, Kurumi moved slowly and kept her attention on the girl behind her as she moved into the new position.

And...well...since her hand was already up...due to the nature of the position and all...

"There is a spell, Tyrantio, that allows you to take over the body of someone else. It is similar to Imperio I've read...only I believe this spell is different in that the victim of it retains their consciousness..." the Gryffindor began, trying to recall all that she had read in a rather old book she had found in the reference section while reorganizing in there. "If you don't concentrate enough while casting...you also run the risk of crushing the other person's bones...which I suppose could be another desired result..." Which was...dark.
Hmm? Kurumi, whaaaaaaat? With the small glow from the candles, Beezus was very much aware of the Gryffindor Prefect's eyes strained on her. She was okay now...well, kind of. The pain was slowly fading away. It must've been just a sudden reaction from the bone structure, probably because of overfatigue and numerous bludger hits.

"I'm okay now." she whispered at her as she stood up, trying to muster a smile which she wasn't sure the older girl could see. Then she brought her legs apart, not too much though, then bent on her right side, arms upheld, doing the Triangle stunt. Ouch, ouch, ouch. That still hurt a tad bit.

SPOILER!!: Kendall
Quote:

She'd heard that crack, and it was definitely not a rat. And she didn't care if Beezus had told Professor Romanos that she didn't need the healer. If her friend was in pain, that meant she needed help, and Kendall herself had dropped her legs from the boat position as soon as the crack had sounded. Therefore explaining why she knew there hadn't been any creatures around, because they would've gotten more squished. And she could tell that Kurumi wasn't exactly convinced either, since the Gryffindor prefect kept looking at Beezus while class had gone on around them. Something was wrong with just going on like nothing had happened. They'd paid more attention to the show getting thrown than they had somebody getting hurt, which was just bad. Almost like the professor was being a dark witch now, and Kendall had glanced next to her at her friend as she'd stood up. "Are you sure you don't wann go to the healer," she whispered. "I'll take you if you want." After asking permission of course.

For now, she'd go back to answering questions whiel she waited for a response from Beezus, awkwardly leaning over into the position that they were supposed to be in even as she kept her eyes on the other girl. "What about Crucio? It's an Unforgivable, so that makes it automatically dark, and is it true that you can't even cast it unless you want to hurt the person badly?," she answered. Like whatever had just happened, and that was just totally not right. Yoga wasn't fun anymore, although it had taken her mind off her problems. She didn't want Beezus to have gotten seriously hurt just to distract her, and she really hoped that the professor didn't think it was okay to let her continue in the lesson when she was injured. Stupid Gryffindor boy who'd gotten the shoe thrown at him hadn't gotten hurt, so Beezus was more important.
..and there was Kendall beside her that was equally worried. Pssh. She wasn't that weak. Okay, maybe she cried upon the impact because, well, the pain had rather stricken her sharply, but now that it had been minutes after her ribcage cracked, the spindles that struck her spine not too long ago had slowly been deteriorating.

"No," Beezus replied, though she winced a bit, "..I'll go there later....after class." Yes, after. That meant she was going to stick around until Professor Romanos permits them to exit the doors.

Despite of the slight struggle she was having, Beezus still obliged herself to answer the next question. It was not true that Beaters were Dark wizards, her mind was just entirely off the cliff when she responded to the question. This time, she was really thinking.

A dark spell. Of course, she thought of the Unforgivable curses right away. However, given their objective of resorting to an entirely new answer was taken into consideration, the Ravenclaw thought of another one."Ermm..there's the Sectumsempra Professor, invented by one of our legendary Headmasters, Severus Snape. It is a curse of high level, and its effect is the same of an invisible sword which can be used to slash victims from a distance." Grimaaaace. "..Uhm..the injuries that it inflicts on the opponent seem to follow the caster's wand movements, making it rather deadly." ...and daaaaaark.

"But, that is indeed life. When it comes down to it, it is best to listen to your instincts. Your guard should be on it's highest during those times."

Glancing from one student to the other, Medea moved into a new position. "This one's a killer. I'd like you all to move into the boat position." The student's favorite position, yes? "Speaking of impulses, what makes someone a dark witch or wizard? Who are some well known, or perhaps not so well known at all, people that have been labeled as 'dark'?"


Boat Position


The Lotus position is really one of the basics positions that people do in yoga and of course, the easiest, seeing as all you have to do is to sit down with your legs crossed. Done.

The next thing Juliet knows is that there were stuff happening like the throwing at the shoe at a mention of 'women' into the answer. Ravenclaw losing 2 points for that. WaaaiiiT!!! WHAT?!?!?!?! TWO POINTS ONLY???? For the cost of having something fulfilled with would only cost 2 points? THIS IS SOOOOO AWESOME! Not that Juliet is encouraging this and even to herself but really, two points is just.... WOW.... A BARGAIN!

Juliet giggled to herself on her seat. What just happened right now was simply hilarious but props to that Ravenclaw.

And now onto the new position.... Boat position. Seeing as Professor Medea demonstrated, made Juliet's left eye twitch. That's.......... HARD. How are they suppose to do this? Juliet stared at the other students who began to position themselves into the boat position. Oh okay, so they still have to do it even though it's hard and well---

Then another things happened which is a crack. Juliet heard somewhere from around the room a crack. A rat cracked? What? She didn't get it. She stared blankly into the dark curtains and decided to just deal with this boat position. She then sat in the same formation as the professor with both her feet inches away from the ground. With the help of both her hands, Juliet placed them around at the back of her knee. She did wobbled a bit but she managed to keep her balance in place.

Now to answer the question. With a quick raise of her hand "A person becomes a dark wizard because of an occupation, an organization, or maybe just something he wants to be" like she also said earlier, not all dark witches and wizards are bad. It depends on how they have become one. "An example would be Professor Snape" the one who used to teach Potions back in the days. And Juliet once read he also became the headmaster at that one time in history??? Not sure though.

Come on! Next position already. This is killing her.

The Triangle

FINALLY! Changing the position.

Juliet placed her feet down and sat like that for a few moments. She needed them to rest. but as soon as the Professor asked them to stand up for a new position. She did. This time it's the triangle. The positions were getting weirder and weirder now. Like the professor, she also leaned to the side and raised her arm like so. And the other one is now touching the ankle. Both arms were in vertical position. Golly, this is harder!!!!! But the boat position was the worse.

Dark spell??? hmmmmmm.... Wiggling the hand that was already raised, Juliet opened her mouth to answer "Petrificus Totalus would be an example to these spells" but she does agree with the others who answered that ALL spells are to be considered as DARK depending on how one uses such spells.

"Some may surround themselves with certain objects with deadly qualities, brew potions of more sinister properties, or become fascinated with creatures we all label as dark themselves. Most of the time though, we are not aware of these interests, which can become dangerous for us. What we can notice, and hopefully if any of you do you are well protected, is their choice of spells. Dark wizards, as we know, favor curses, especially the unforgiveables, but jinxes and hexes are not so foreign when it comes down to it. Can anyone tell me one dark spell and why it is considered dark?"


The Triangle


How long did they need to hold on this position? His back and bottom are killing him. Messer let out a sigh when Romanos said that they can lower their legs.

FINALLY!

Slowly the third year lowered his legs and did the next position which is The Triangle position. Compare to the Lotus position this next position was not so hard. He just need to lean to the side and raised his arm vertical to the ground and touched his ankle with the other arm.

Dark spell?

With this position he doesn't need to raise his hand anymore since his hand already up in the air. "I think Nox is consider to be a dark spell, Professor. Because its extinguish light." And that make it dark spell.

Medea had to think about that one.

Oh! "Not really." she smiled, chuckling quietly. "Good one though."



She didn't need to see to know that the students weren't not enjoying this pose. Just a little longer though, while she got back into speaking normally. "I can honestly say, beaters are not considered dark people. Their intent is for purely game purposes, and intent is indeed a rather important factor when labeling a witch or wizard as dark." she nodded slowly, addressing the whole class. "As is their primary studies, which in this case, would be the dark arts; Voldemort, Bellatrix, Merwyn, and Grindelwald being just a few good examp- Remi Deveraux? Fight clubs here in Hogwarts? Really?"

The professor looked towards Sierra. A delayed reaction from her, but this was new information to Medea. Anyways...moving on!

"Power is definitely the more common desire a dark witch or wizard seeks when studying and/or practicing the dark arts, as well as the lack of remorse while most of their actions involves harming someone or, yes, selfish reasons. I think it was Miss Lecium whom mentioned the root of these people turning to darker natures was in their childhoods. Upbringings and the settings in which one lives when younger can definitely influence a person's thoughts and actions, to the point of guiding them towards the darker arts, however...this is not always the case."

The Triangle
Sarah moved into boat position. "Curse of the Bogies, it causes a REALLY bad cold and a person can faint if not treated. It causes the nose to drip like a tap with out a turn off knob.. y'know, a really runny nose!" Sarah knew all about it, coz it was the thing she dreaded, one better have a hnadkerchief handy at all times.

The Triangle


Dark spells. Easy. Kat knew a lot, not that she was affiliated to any of them nor did she actually use one of those frickin' spells. For Merlin's Sake, she's a witch. And she wouldn't be caught dead trying to kill someone else. Even if she hated that person to the maximum level.

As Kat did the Triangle position, which was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than the previous muscle-aching positions, Kat answered. "Professor, Morsmordre is an example of a Dark spell," Kat continued. "It's dark because it's used to conjure the Dark mark and it may signify that someone must've been killed."

Well, this one seems easy! The question and the position, yes. But would she ever use them? No! Not the horrible, permanent, really painful ones, at least.... Just the ones that were like, funny and stuff. She doesn't have any dark intentions, not at all!

Moving right along! Cardigan switched over to the Triangle position, feeling much more relieved. Let's see...what curses did she know..."Well, professor, Avada Kedavra is sure up there. It's used to kill people instantly, and it's one of the three unforgivables."
